Résumé (français)  :

Abstract (English)  :

In this document, the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (CTFPHC) updates its earlier breast-feeding recommendations[1] by presenting evidence on interventions that improve the initiation or duration of breast-feeding (or both). Breast-feeding has been shown in both developing and developed countries to improve the health of infants and their mothers, making it the optimal method of infant nutrition.[2,3] Although the prevalence of breast-feeding in Canada has risen, with over three-quarters of mothers now initiating breast-feeding, the duration of this practice remains short of the recommended World Health Organization (WHO) targets of exclusive breast-feeding for 6 months and partial breast-feeding for up to 2 years.[4,5] Recent Canadian data indicate that 22% of recent mothers aged 15–49 years breast-feed for less than 3 months, and 35% do so for at least 3 months.[6] This premature discontinuation is more a result of difficulty with breast-feeding, including lack of information and support, than of women’s choice.[7] In fact, the number of Canadian hospitals that would qualify as "baby-friendly" according to WHO–UNICEF criteria[8] was 5 of 523 hospitals responding to a 1993 survey,[9] and according to UNICEF only a single hospital had that designation in 2002.[10]
