Breastfeeding Support Lobby:
Fact Sheet #3

With this issue of the INFACT Canada Newsletter we again have inserted a Fact Sheet. This time we are highlighting Breastfeeding: The Price is Right. Click here to view the Fact Sheet.

This fact Sheet is also being sent to all Federal MPs.

How to use the Fact Sheets:

1. Identify a friend or colleague so you can work as a team.

2. You and your team member set up an appointment with your local riding Federal MP.

3. During your first meeting be prepared to discuss the importance of breastfeeding, both the health and the economic benefits. Plan with your team member what information each of you will present.

4. Discuss the policies as listed on Fact Sheet 2 and determine if your MP is interested and in which policies.

5. Let your MP know that you will be following up with a letter to summarize the initial meeting and any action promised by your MP. Let your MP know you are available to discuss breastfeeding policies.

6. Inform your MP that you will continue the discussion with a second meeting in a number of weeks.

7. INFACT Canada will be preparing follow up Fact Sheets for you to use for your lobby.

8. Inform INFACT Canada of the results of your meeting as well as any correspondence with your MP.
