The Saskatchewan Health Authority has a toolkit to help businesses support and welcome families with their child feeding choices anywhere, any time.

The Baby-Friendly Spaces Toolkit provides tips, posters and resources to help create public spaces that are welcoming for families to feed their infants and young children. It is part of a much larger baby-friendly initiative to ensure breast/chest feeding is protected, promoted and supported.

Breast milk is tailored for your baby and changes throughout the day, with the seasons, as they grow, and to help them fight off illnesses.

Breastfeeding provides:

💟 Signals that it’s time to sleep
💟 Extra hydration when it’s hot
💟 Specific antibodies when mum or baby is sick
💟 Adapted fat content and nutrients as they grow

To the mama who sees this bottle and feels like it’s not enough this is your reminder: it is.

That tiny bit of milk you worked so hard for? It’s liquid gold. It’s comfort. It’s nourishment. It’s love.

We get so caught up in numbers ounces, milliliters, how much is in the freezer that we forget what truly matters. That every single drop is something your body created for your baby. That every single feed is more than milk it’s connection, love, and warmth.

Whether it’s 20 ml or 200, it’s enough. Because it came from you. Because your baby doesn’t see a measurement, they see their mom showing up for them in the most selfless way.

Don’t let a line on a bottle define your worth. Don’t let it make you feel small. You are doing something powerful. Something irreplaceable.

You are enough.
Your baby thinks so too.

“Wait, but this other LC said to use heat for clogged ducts!” We hear it all the time and it wasn’t that long along that Kaitlyn was in an in-person class with professionals who had been in the field for decades who told everyone to never, ever use ice on the breasts. 🙈

Unfortunately that’s outdated advice but we work with clients all the time who are still being told this information. We know it gets confusing so we put this post together to break it down for you!

*NOTE: anytime heat is used, avoid excessive temperatures that may cause injury. Prolonged exposure to cold can also cause harm, including but not limited to ice packs applied directly onto the skin. If you have to power through the temperature, it’s too much.

Make sure to follow us at for part 2 on Heat vs Ice which will cover ni**le care!
