Closing the Gap: National Breastfeeding Week – FNHA

October 4, 2024

In Canada, National Breastfeeding Week is Oct. 1-7. At the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), we celebrate all opportunities to talk about the benefits of breastfeeding, and we honour all families who are taking care of little ones though life’s challenges.

This National Breastfeeding Week, we celebrate and honour life-givers and their unique milk-feeding experiences, through the theme #ClosetheGap. The FNHA works towards closing the gap, by increasing access to services and items such as breast pumps. Life-giving and milk-feeding are both awe-inspiring powers, testaments to the strength and wonder of the human body! You can read more about it in our Indigenous Milk Medicine Week (Aug. 8-14) message.
