CANADA GOVERNMENT ON WOMAN HEALTH

The Canadian government has unveiled a fresh resource for families in the form of an updated postpartum guide.

 

The Public Health Agency of Canada has released a comprehensive guide titled “Your Guide to Postpartum Health and Caring for Your Baby.” The guide aims to provide parents and families with information and resources on various aspects of postpartum care, including physical and mental health, family health, nutrition, breastfeeding, and pregnancy and infant loss. It is part of a series of publications focused on maternal and newborn health. The guide emphasizes the importance of adopting and maintaining healthy behaviors during pregnancy and the postpartum period for the long-term health and well-being of the whole family. The Public Health Agency of Canada collaborates with provinces, territories, and community-based organizations to support parents and families through programs like the Community Action Program for Children and the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program. The guide can be ordered for free online, and it is recommended for all new parents
