The Breastfeeding Protocols for Health Care Providers were developed to promote, protect and support effective breastfeeding for the families of healthy term infants. The Breastfeeding Protocols were initially created in 2013. Some revisions were made in 2019. The protocols are currently being revised to reflect current evidence-based research and updates will be posted as they become available.
