“Am I making enough milk?”

This a worrying thought, especially when you’re tired and everyone has an opinion.

Frequent feeding alone doesn’t automatically mean low milk supply. But you deserve more than “don’t worry” when you’re concerned about your baby.

Look beyond the clock:
• Is your baby swallowing during feeds?
• Are wet and dirty diapers appropriate for their age?
• Is their weight gain on track?

These signs tell us more than fussiness, feed length, or how soon your baby wants to nurse again.

An LLLC Leader will listen, talk through your questions, and help you find information and support. You don’t need to wait until you’re overwhelmed to reach out.

We're ghosting the guilt, the unsolicited advice, the outdated expectations, and the idea that families should have to figure everything out alone.

What we're keeping? Compassion, evidence-informed information, informed choices, AND community.

When a mother or baby is hospitalized, what happens to breastfeeding?

Hospitalization can interrupt so much more than feeding. It can mean separation, changes in milk production, and challenges returning to a familiar breastfeeding relationship.

For families who want to continue breastfeeding, having the right information and support can make an enormous difference.

Join La Leche League Canada for a FREE webinar!

Presented by Kaitlin Berris, RD, PhD(c), Clinical Dietitian at BC Children's Hospital.

We'll explore the biological importance of human milk, how hospitalization can affect breastfeeding, and why supporting both mother and baby matters when re-establishing their feeding relationship.

This webinar is for healthcare professionals, breastfeeding supporters, LLL Leaders, and anyone interested in helping families continue breastfeeding through challenging circumstances.

November 12 , 12:00 p.m. ET
Online and recorded for later viewing

At La Leche League Canada, we know that breastfeeding support doesn't end when things become complicated. Sometimes, that's when families need us most.

La Leche League Canada is honoured to release Holding on to Life: Protecting and Sustaining Breastfeeding in a Conflict Zone, a presentation by the Gaza Infant Nutrition Alliance (GINA).

For mothers and families in Gaza, breastfeeding is taking place amid displacement, hunger, trauma, and devastating conditions. In a humanitarian emergency, breastfeeding provides vital nourishment, comfort, and protection.

We are deeply grateful to GINA for the knowledge, expertise, and care invested in creating this presentation. We recognize the tremendous work behind it and are honoured to help bring their voices and experiences to a wider audience.
At LLLC, we believe in mothers supporting mothers, in community, and in showing up for families when they need it most. Those values do not stop at our borders.
Every mother deserves the support she needs to nourish her child and every baby deserves safety. No parent should have to worry about how they will feed their baby while trying to survive a war.

We hope you'll take the time to watch, listen, learn, and share this important presentation.

To everyone involved with GINA, thank you for your dedication, your advocacy, and for allowing us to share your work. We are grateful to stand alongside you in raising awareness of the urgent need to protect infant feeding in Gaza.

Now available on the La Leche League Canada YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/wbauX_6Se5Q?si=KUdjwFwf-FVF3OQk

Please help us share this presentation with families, healthcare professionals, and breastfeeding supporters everywhere.
