About the centre
Sunnybrook’s Breastfeeding Centre of Excellence improves outcomes for the most at-risk, sickest babies and mothers.
We create best practices through clinical care, collaboration, patient oriented research and education. Our goal is to develop and disseminate breastfeeding best practices to promote the exclusivity and duration of breastfeeding for all infants with a particular focus on micro-premature infants.
