Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding Friendly Places
Breastfeeding is the natural way to feed a child with major health benefits for both mothers and babies. However many breastfeeding mothers choose not to breastfeed outside the comfort of their home because they feel unsupported to breastfeed in public places.
Directory of Breastfeeding Friendly Places
If a business is not listed you still have the right to breastfeed. For concerns about breastfeeding in public please contact Ontario Human Rights Commission .

Hamilton’s Breastfeeding Coalition
Aims to work together with businesses, organizations, and agencies to ensure that families feel supported to breastfeed anytime, anywhere. With a few simple steps, businesses can create a breastfeeding friendly place that allows breastfeeding employees and patrons to feel welcomed and accepted.
What's in it for you?
Many businesses, organizations and municipalities already welcome breastfeeding in their premises. The benefits of becoming a breastfeeding friendly place include:
- Making an improvement to customer service.
- Possibly attracting a new customer base. Possibly improving your image and increasing publicity
- Participants will receive a window decal to display their support for breastfeeding in the community.
What's in it for the community?
- Breastfeeding is environmentally friendly; it imposes no costs on the environment in terms of production, packaging or waste disposal.
- Breastfeeding parents need to be fully supported by all sectors of the community. You are a vital part of creating that supportive environment and in doing so will create opportunities for healthier people, healthier relationships and a healthier community.
How to get involved
1. Connect with a Hamilton Breastfeeding Coalition Representative
- Phone Health Connections 905-546-3550
- Email: [email protected]
2. Obtain a step-by-step guide to making your business breastfeeding friendly
Becoming a Breastfeeding Friendly Place: A Step-by-Step Guide for businesses
3. Implement suggested practices and advertise your support of breastfeeding with the window decal provided.
