The Sunrise Health Region (SHR) is getting baby friendly.
The SHR Baby Friendly Initiative Working Group has announced an innovative project to support mothers choosing to breastfeed their babies.
The project will feature life-size cutouts of mothers breastfeeding their babies, cutouts will be created from photos mounted on cardboard and will be displayed in highly visible public areas in communities throughout the health region and First Nations communities covered by the Yorkton Tribal Council. The goal of this project is to encourage and promote the acceptance of breastfeeding in public.
The Baby Friendly Initiative Working Group consists of health care workers in the SHR and the Yorkton Tribal Council who have come together to support, promote and protect breastfeeding families.
Breastfeeding mothers who would like to take part in this project by having their picture taken while breastfeeding are invited to phone Lactation Services at 786-0886, Details of the project and a consent form will be sent to all interested parties.
