MLTC and Onion Lake Cree Nation producing comprehensive video for breastfeeding mothers
The Meadow Lake Tribal Council (MLTC) health team, in partnership with Onion Lake Cree Nation Health, are creating a support video for breastfeeding mothers.
The video currently under production will offer women Indigenous representation through health material and support mothers and families.
Tammy Shakotko, educator and MLTC community dietitian said there are not many comprehensive visual tools available to support breastfeeding mothers.
“We’ve found, in Canada and in the province, there aren’t a lot of tools available to women to support breastfeeding mothers visually,” Shakotko told meadowlakeNOW. “We thought it wold be important to create a video tool to help women better access better visual tools to help them in their breastfeeding journey with their infants.”
