Manitoba Provincial Breastfeeding Strategy
The initial Manitoba Provincial Breastfeeding Strategy
was developed in the fall of 2006 to focus improvements,
increase accountability and improve reporting on
breastfeeding. The breastfeeding deliverable specified
that RHAs develop frameworks and activities to improve
breastfeeding rates and to target percentage improvements
in breastfeeding initiation, duration and exclusive
breastfeeding to six months as recommended by Health
Canada. The 2006 strategy encouraged a coordinated
approach to breastfeeding promotion and support within
each region and provincially. This strategy was foundational
in developing Baby Friendly Manitoba working groups
provincially and regionally and in advancing Baby Friendly
Accreditation across the province.
In 2012, Manitoba Health convened a working group involving multi-departmental stakeholders and RHAs to renew the Breastfeeding Strategy.
