Breastfeeding Matters: An important guide to breastfeeding for women and their families

The Best Start Resource Centre provides information and consultations in English and French across Ontario on a wide range of topics to service providers who work with expectant parents and young families. Topics range from health before pregnancy, pregnancy (examples: alcohol use during pregnancy, men’s reproductive health, etc.), maternal health (examples: post-partum depression, breastfeeding, etc.) and issues related to child health (examples: shaken baby syndrome, infant sleep environment, physical activity and the early years, etc.). Within Ontario, there is no cost for these services.

At Best Start, our best resource is our staff. They not only stay on top of new research and initiatives, but also keep in close touch with a range of health providers across the province. We can help answer your information questions or connect you with others working on similar projects.
