Exploring the Connection between Infant Feeding Experiences and Parental Mental Health Outcomes
About this Event

Nurture & Thrive 2025 Professional Conference

Postpartum.ca is proud to present a groundbreaking two-day event. The Nurture and Thrive conference is an exploration of the connection between infant feeding approaches and the subsequent effects on parental mental health outcomes. We aim to explore how we, as healthcare professionals, can better prepare and support parents as they navigate the feeding journey.

Designed for healthcare professionals, advocates, and voices shaping the future of infant feeding support and parental mental health, this event provides a space for critical conversations beyond feeding debates and toward holistic, evidence-based care that prioritizes mental health, informed choice, and family well-being.

Together, we're fostering a more informed, compassionate, and stigma-free approach to infant feeding for parents. Join us to explore practical strategies to empower families with the support they deserve.

See you there!

Important Venue Information

The Nurture & Thrive Conference is taking place inside Canada’s only infant

formula manufacturing facility, a space dedicated to safety and quality. To keep

this standard of product safety and quality for both our facility and our guests, we

kindly ask attendees to follow these guidelines:

 Peanut-Free Facility – Do not bring products containing peanuts (e.g.,

peanut butter, trail mix, candy bars). To prevent any risk of cross-

contamination and protect those with peanut allergies, Canada Royal Milk

is a strictly peanut-free facility.

 Scent-Free Space – Do not wear perfumes, colognes, or other strongly

scented products (e.g., body spray). Strong scents can interfere with our

quality control processes and affect those with sensitivities.

We appreciate your cooperation in making this a safe, comfortable, and

enjoyable experience for everyone.
