Yes Shirley the government does offer $50.00 a month for the first six months of breastfeeding for the mothers that are on welfare! The mothers that choose bottle-feeding have to pay the first $15.00 (cost of cow's milk!) of the cost of artificial baby milk. The balance is paid by the government. So basically, the breastfeeding mothers add an extra benefit to= breastfeeding! In regards to BF Clinics in Qu=E9bec: Some hospitals have breastfeeding clinics and some had...with the budget cuts in Qu=E9bec, there is less money available for BF!!! My dream is to put together a private BF clinic, but I am not there yet...maybe soon... Dany Gauthier IBCLC [log in to unmask] Tel: 514-923-3792 Fax:514-923-3802
