Healthy Babies: Updated Services For Basic Infant Needs
Posted on Monday, December 4th, 2023
Our purpose was to create an up-to-date list of breastfeeding, circumcision, and tongue-tie resources within the Ottawa region. This verified list will help Ottawa Public Health nurses refer breastfeeding parents and families with newborns to proper services based on their needs and different criteria. We contacted various service providers around Ottawa by email or phone to verify critical information about how to assess these services. Once we verified each service, we compiled our information into a comprehensive and organized document which will eventually be added to the Ottawa Public Health Healthy Growth and Development Wiki page. The nurses use this Wiki page to find evidence-informed information, resources and services for their clients.
