*We support Health Canada and the WHO which both state that breastfeeding is the best method of feeding infants as it provides optimal nutritional, immunological and emotional benefits for the growth and development of infants. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months of life for healthy term infants, as breast milk is the best food for optimal growth. Infants should be introduced to nutrient-rich, solid foods with particular attention to iron at six months with continued breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond. For more information please see your doctor or visit where you can find breastfeeding support in our area.

Furthermore, we agree with INFACT Canada and Health Canada’s recommendation that infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life, with continued breastfeeding to two years of age and beyond. Breastmilk is always free, provides optimal nutrition and is especially important for low-income mothers and babies, who have the most to gain from breastfeeding.

When our little guy was starting to eat solid foods last year, we used Mother Hen along with making our own.

It was convenient (and yummy), but it was also hard to find here in York Region, but we are happy to let you know that Mother Hen has announced that their new line of Ecocert-certified, organic and natural baby foods will debut in Ontario this month. To be available at many grocery stores and Shoppers Drug Mart locations across the province.

There is also a great variety of choice as there is over 25 food purees and meals, ranging from traditional favourites to more exotic flavours such as mango puree or Sunny Fruit sauce with mango, bananas and pineapple. All Mother Hen products are free of added sugar, salt, starch or preservatives.
