Baby-friendly
BC Women's is the largest tertiary care hospital in Canada to be designated Baby-friendly.
Being Baby-friendly means we support women's informed choices about infant feeding. We are committed to promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding, and to ensuring that all families receive information to support their infant feeding choices.
It is a global initiative from the WHO/UNICEF that encourages health care providers to give care based on the best available evidence to support families to make informed infant feeding choices.
