Circles of Support Breastfeeding Resource Catalogue (12 Kb)
The Breastfeeding Resources Catalogue was completed in October 2007. It is a compilation of over 500 different breastfeeding resources and is the result of an extensive inventory conducted during the winter and spring of 2006. At the time, CAPC and CPNP projects across Canada were invited to submit the various tools they used in promoting, protecting and supporting breastfeeding with their participants, including locally made tools and resources. More than 100 projects, from all provinces and territories across the country, submitted resources in both English and French.
The electronic versions of both the newsletters and the catalogue are available from the home page of this site (see blue Circles of Support icon) Please feel free to download and share with your coworkers and community partners.
