Breastfeeding is recommended for two years and then continued breastfeeding for as long as mother and child want. You can continue to breastfeed when you return to work or school! Your right to continue breastfeeding is protected under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Visit the HaltonParents website for detailed information on returning to work or school and breastfeeding.
