Breastmilk is the only food your baby needs for the first 6 months. You may continue to breastfeed for 2 years or longer, with the addition of solid foods.
KFL&A Public Health is committed to supporting you as you learn to feed your baby.
If you are an expecting or a new parent, learn more about breastfeeding from Breastfeeding Matters or My Breastfeeding Guide. Both are available in various languages.
If you need direct breastfeeding support, call the Parenting in KFL&A phone line at 613-549-1154, or Health811 (dial 811).
More information, advice, and resources are available in the Getting Help section.
