The Manitoba Baby Friendly Co-ordinating Committee
Breastfeeding Resources are made up of information about breastfeeding
and the Baby Friendly Initiative from international sources such
as the WHO and UNICEF, as well as national sources like the Breastfeeding
Committee for Canada and local sources from here in Manitoba.
They are designed as a resource for health care professionals working
to promote breastfeeding and the Baby Friendly Initiative in their
health care facilities and communities. Also contained in
these resources are two PowerPoint presentations. The presentations
can be used in whole or in part to assist health care professionals
and breastfeeding advocates in providing training and sharing information
about the Baby Friendly Initiative, and about breastfeeding.
- BFI.ppt is a presentation detailing the history of the
Baby Friendly Initiative internationally, reasons for breastfeeding,
the International Code on the Marketing of Breastmilk substitutes,
and an example of breastfeeding policy elsewhere in Canada.
- 10 Steps.ppt is a presentation focused on the Ten Steps
to Successful Breastfeeding specifically.

initiatives, please e-mail
