Who are we?

The source for your breastfeeding needs

Nourri-Source Laval is a self-help and support organization for breastfeeding. More than 60 experienced volunteers have chosen to get involved to promote and encourage breastfeeding. The particularity of the Nourri-Source network and what makes it famous is the flexibility that breastfeeding godmothers demonstrate during their interventions with mothers.

Our mission

Offer listening, support and advice to families who want to live the experience of breastfeeding. Support, encourage, educate, develop, and implement training programs for any person or group with an interest in breastfeeding.

Through this mission, we wish to contribute to improving the health of the Laval population by increasing the number of positive breastfeeding experiences.

This mission is mainly reflected in:
- Breastfeeding support that our customers can receive by going to our breastfeeding stops.
- Attentive listening and breastfeeding support thanks to our twinning service with volunteer breastfeeding sponsors.
- Promotion and awareness of breastfeeding by ensuring a presence at various family events and by collaborating with local partners.
- The development of training activities aimed at disseminating knowledge and knowledge related to breastfeeding in order to provide better support.
