The facilities of the RLS de la Montagne (CLSC de Parc-Extension, CLSC de Côte-des-Neiges, CLSC Métro and the Outremont Point of Service) are certified “Baby Friendly.” At a Baby Friendly centre, all mothers and their babies benefit from the initiative, whether the child is breastfed or not. Expectant and new moms are given the information they need to make an informed decision about how to feed their baby. Staff members have been trained to support moms, no matter what kind of milk they give their baby.
In addition, at every CLSC service point, Breastfeeding Drop-In Centres offer expectant and new moms and their immediate families a chance to meet with resources who can answer their breastfeeding questions. These meetings are also an opportunity to share with other parents.
