We’re excited to announce the official launch of the Community Pump Library - supported by MILC, in partnership with Youville Community Health Centre. Each pump is delivered with a personal drop-off appointment that includes usage guidance, and follow-up support is available within 48 hours. Families also have access to a Milk Mentor for breastfeeding help, and each pump comes with a collapsible wash basin and a laminated resource binder. Already serving the Winnipeg community, the program has seen strong demand since its soft launch in February and has received positive feedback from parents and care providers. We're proud to support this initiative that offers practical, wraparound care.

In the French scientific magazine Epsiloon, the article 'Allairtement: Quels sont les bienfaits démontrés?' features Dr. Azad emphasizing the unparalleled benefits of breastfeeding, highlighting its unique ability to adapt to a baby’s changing nutritional and immune needs. Unlike formula, which remains static, breastmilk evolves to provide the right balance of nutrients and antibodies as a baby grows, offering tailored immune protection and fostering a healthy gut microbiome. While breastfeeding can present challenges, when possible, it remains the gold standard for infant nutrition, offering irreplaceable health benefits that formula cannot replicate.
