Join us for Back to the Basics: Foundations of Breastfeeding Support, La Leche League Canada's 2026 Healthcare Provider Conference. 

For many 2SLGBTQIA+ families, fertility, pregnancy, birth, infant feeding, and parenting can include moments of joy, but also moments of uncertainty, invisibility, or navigating systems that weren't designed with them in mind. 

Most of us entered this work because we care deeply about families. This free webinar offers an opportunity to listen, learn, and better understand the lived experiences of 2SLGBTQIA+ families and the powerful role healthcare providers, peer supporters, and community workers play in building trust and safety. 

We’re thrilled to welcome Embrace as a new affiliate partner of La Leche League Canada. Embrace creates beautiful, thoughtfully designed maternity, nursing, and postpartum essentials that support families through pregnancy, feeding, healing, and the early days of parenting. 

On World Health Day, we often think about hospitals and clinical care. But there is another layer of support that matters just as much, and it happens in homes, in communities, and in everyday moments between parents and babies. 

Breastfeeding support is healthcare. 

When families have access to timely, evidence-based support, they get help sooner. Moms have their questions answered. Common challenges are worked through before they become overwhelming. This can reduce repeat visits and ease pressure on an already stretched healthcare system. 

When a baby isn’t gaining weight as expected, parents often feel worried, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn. In this video, we talk through the most common reasons for slow weight gain, what to look for, and how families can get the right support early.
