Heading to the pool with your baby this summer?

If your little one gets hungry, thirsty, overwhelmed, excited, tired, or simply wants to reconnect, breastfeeding at the pool is completely normal.

Many parents are surprised to learn that there is no need to limit breastfeeding around pools. Human milk contains living substances that help protect babies from viruses and bacteria they may encounter in everyday life, including through pool water.

For babies, breastfeeding is about so much more than food. It provides comfort, reassurance, hydration, connection, and a familiar place to return to during a busy day of new sights, sounds, and splashing.

At La Leche League Canada, we believe families should feel welcomed and supported wherever they choose to feed their babies. That's why we've created a Breastfeeding and Pools Guide for aquatic staff and facility team members. The guide helps foster welcoming spaces where breastfeeding families can enjoy community pools and aquatic centres without worry.

Breastfeeding is welcome wherever babies are welcome.

La Leche League International has publicly voiced opposition to collaboration between the United Nations and Nestlé, raising concerns about conflicts of interest related to the marketing of breastmilk substitutes.

For decades, families, advocates, healthcare providers, and organizations around the world have worked to protect breastfeeding and infant feeding support from commercial influence through the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes.

At La Leche League Canada, we believe families deserve evidence-based information, compassionate support, and infant feeding education free from commercial pressure.

Your baby’s mouth was designed to grow, move, and develop. Feeding plays a role in that.

Breastfeeding supports oral development through the natural movements babies use while nursing, helping support healthy jaw, muscle, and palate development along the way.

And despite the fear-based headlines parents often see online, breastfeeding itself is not considered a cause of cavities.

Nighttime nursing is also biologically normal. During the night, saliva production decreases for everyone, children and adults included. Good oral hygiene, regular dental care, limiting sticky sugary foods, and supporting families with evidence-based information all matter when it comes to oral health.

What supports healthy teeth and mouths?
✨ Breastfeeding
✨ Early oral hygiene
✨ Limiting sugary and sticky foods
✨ Avoiding sugary drinks in bottles
✨ Regular dental care
✨ Responsive feeding and support without shame

Parents deserve nuanced, evidence-based information, not guilt.

Babies have their own feeding patterns!

Some feed at regular intervals. Others feed very irregularly. Some babies cluster feed. This means they nurse very often for a few hours and then sleep for several hours.

A good milk supply is established by following your baby’s feeding cues, not scheduling feedings. Cues may include licking lips, restlessness, rooting (turning head towards breast) or mouthing hands. Crying is a late hunger cue. Typically 8 to 12 feeds or more within 24 hour is expected.
