3 What do we know about breastfeeding? Today, most women are breastfeeding their babies. Breast milk is the best food you can offer your baby. Health Canada and the World Health Organization recommend that it should be the only food or drink for the first 6 months of life and after that, breastfeeding should continue - with the gradual introduction of solid foods - for 2 years and more (Health Canada). In Ontario, the rights of mothers to breastfeed are protected under the Ontario Human Rights Code. There are well-established benefits for breastfed children. These include: Source: Region of Waterloo Public Health, Us Department of Health and Human Services Fewer illnesses and fewer hospital visits Lower risk of allergies, diabetes, obesity and some cancers Promotes closeness with the mother Promotes proper jaw and tooth development Potential links to better brain development in children Breastfeeding also provides the following benefits to mothers: Source: Region of Waterloo o Public Health, Us Department of Health and Human Services The following illnesses are less common in women who have breastfed one or more babies: o Ovarian cancer o Breast cancer o Type 2 diabetes o Post partum mood disorder or depression Breastfeeding promotes closeness between mother and child Breastfeeding saves money; formula (artificial breast milk) is expensive Breastfeeding helps to burn fat and helps with post partum weight loss 3
4 Breastfeeding is good for the community as well: Source: Us Department of Health and Human Services There are decreased costs to the health care system There is less waste going to the landfill and recycling depots As more families breastfeed their children, breastfeeding becomes the norm in our community Breastfeeding is good for child care providers too! Breastfed babies tend to get sick less often (fewer ear infections, colds and flu) A child care facility that supports breastfeeding families is very attractive to families looking for child care and could be included on all marketing materials 4
5 POLICY # Breastfeeding Families (name of child care facility) recognizes that breastfeeding is a normal and natural part of a child s first years and that breast milk is the optimal food for growth and development of infants. As such, (name of child care facility) encourages its staff, students, volunteers and families to have a positive, accepting attitude toward women, children and breastfeeding. (name of child care facility) acknowledges that Health Canada recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life with continued breastfeeding for a up to two years. Breastfeeding Policy (name of child care facility) promotes and supports breastfeeding for mothers who are breastfeeding when they return to work/school. In keeping with this philosophy, our centre will adhere to the following practices. Practices: 1. Provide a welcoming atmosphere that encourages mothers and employees to initiate and continue breastfeeding after returning to work/school. 2. Provide a comfortable space for mothers to breastfeed their children on site (i.e. a rocking chair) but welcome mothers to breastfeed wherever they are comfortable. 3. Provide a space in the refrigerator for storage of expressed breast milk. 4. Assist the breastfeeding infant/mother in the transition from home into the child care setting. 5. Educate staff and families on the benefits of breastfeeding through literature and provide referrals to community organizations for breastfeeding support when necessary. 6. Staff will be educated in the proper storage and handling of human milk. This child care facility will follow the guidelines as outlined in the Region of Waterloo Public Health s Safe Healthy Children s Manual, a Guide for Child Care Providers (see below). - Breast milk is to be brought daily in a closed container clearly labeled with the child s name and date. - Containers of breast milk must be refrigerated upon arrival. - If breast milk is frozen it can be left in the refrigerator to thaw. If still frozen when it is needed, the milk can then be warmed by placing the bottle in cool water to finish thawing before warming. Ask the guardian/caregiver if the child has a preference for a temperature. Warm the bottle in warm water. Swirl the contents and test for temperature before feeding the child. Throw away what the child does not drink. - Microwaves should never be used for warming breast milk. 7. Breastfeeding promotion information will be displayed. 8. Discrimination and harassment of breastfeeding mothers in any form is unacceptable and will not be tolerated at (name of child care facility). 9. Educate staff and families about the (name of child care facility) breastfeeding policy. 5
6 Breastfeeding-Friendly Child Care Centre Self-Assessment Tool Our centre is breastfeeding-friendly which means that mothers are welcome to breastfeed anytime, anywhere. If requested by a mother, our centre has a comfortable place for mothers to breastfeed their children. Our centre recognizes that breastfeeding is a human right and protected under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Our centre welcomes mothers to visit during the day to feed their children. Our staff is aware that breast milk is an essential part of breastfed children s meals and the only food requirement for babies less than 6 months of age. Our centre makes parents welcome to send expressed milk in a clearly labelled bottle which will be stored in the refrigerator, and that staff will provide the milk to the child as instructed by the parent(s). Our staff is aware of the benefits of breastfeeding and are sensitive to the needs of breastfeeding families such as allowing them to breastfeed when they drop off their child and when they pick their child up at the end of their day. Our staff is aware of the powerful message sent to children by using the word formula to describe all infant bottle feeding. Breastfeeding inclusive language is encouraged. E.g., nursing, breastfeeding and giving baby a bottle. Our staff does not discourage breastfeeding-friendly play. E.g., when children pretend to breastfeed their dolls or stuffed animals. Our centre has books/materials that present breastfeeding as a normal child feeding method. Our centre avoids or removes books/materials that present formula (artificial milk) feeding as the only or best choice for infant feeding (formula feeding alone is included in the content of the story or resource). Our centre supports and encourages employees to breastfeed their children in care. Our centre has a policy that describes the centre s commitment and practices related to breastfeeding. Our staff is familiar with the breastfeeding policy and can refer to it if needed. 6
7 Space for breastfeeding in child care centres Mothers can breastfeed anytime, anywhere. Child care centres are busy places and space is often in high demand. A room designated solely for breastfeeding is not needed (and not always possible). While breastfeeding mothers can feed their children anytime, anywhere, some mothers might enjoy having access to a quiet corner in a room or use of a semi-private room. Making these available to mothers upon request would be helpful. Basic ideas to make breastfeeding welcome for mothers and children include: Options for mothers to use a comfortable chair Options for mothers to feed their child in a lower traffic location with potential for greater privacy (if requested by the mother) Access to a sink with hot and cold running water Access to a wastebasket 7
8 We are a breastfeeding-friendly child care centre! breastfeeding-friendly facility means the following: Mothers are welcome to breastfeed their children in the child care facility anytime, anywhere. Staff is aware of the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation for mothers to exclusively breastfeed infants under six months of age and to continue breastfeeding their children until age two or older. Staff is aware of a mother s right to breastfeed and the importance of breast milk for infants and older children. Expressed breast milk that is clearly labelled will be stored in the refrigerator and prepared for children as directed by the parent. Are your child(ren) breastfed? If you plan on sending expressed breast milk with your child: Breast milk is to be brought in daily in a closed container clearly labeled with the child s name and date. Containers of breast milk must be refrigerated upon arrival. Information about breast milk preparation: If breast milk is frozen it will be left in the refrigerator to thaw. If still frozen when it is needed, the milk will then be warmed by placing the bottle in cool water to finish thawing before warming. Please let us know if your child(ren) has a preference for a temperature. The bottle will be warmed in warm water. Milk that the child does not drink will be thrown away. Microwaves will never be used for warming breast milk. 8
