Thousands of families across Ontario and Quebec are facing lengthy power outages following Saturday’s storm.
As hours without power drag into days for some households, our team offers some tips:
– Keep breastfeeding: this will be the easiest & safest way to feed your baby or young child in this or any other emergency
– Offer babies over 6 months foods that you and your family are eating, rather than jars or pouches that can’t be stored safely without refrigeration once opened
– If you are primarily or exclusively bottlefeeding and can relocate to a safe place with power, consider doing so, especially if power is likely to be off for several more days
