1 Introduction Investment in perinatal health and nutrition during the first 1000 days of life is critical for promoting lifelong health and development (UNICEF 2020). Over the past two decades, Canada has consistently ranked in the lower half of high-income countries on UNICEF's measures of overall child well-being, including physical health and survival (UNICEF Canada 2020, 2025).
Abstract The Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program (CPNP) provides a variety of health and nutrition supports to vulnerable mothers and strongly promotes breastfeeding but does not have a formal framework for postnatal lactation support. Breastfeeding duration and exclusivity rates in Canada fall well below global recommendations, particularly among socially and economically vulnerable women.
