Victoria Best Babies is a Canadian Prenatal Nutrition Program sponsored by Fernwood NRG with funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada. Victoria Best Babies serves pregnant and parenting parents of children ages 0-1 year. Due to space restraints, they are currently only serving low-income families. The program provides:
- Educational sessions
- One-on-one support
- Monthly food vouchers
- Good Food Box produce
- Prenatal vitamins and vitamin D drops
- Bus tickets
- Healthy lunches
- Community referrals
- Access to public health nurses, registered dietitians, dental hygienists
Perinatal classes run on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:30am-1:30pm. These groups are for pregnant or post-pregnant people. Parents are welcome to bring their infant’s siblings if needed as well as one support person.
Sessions open with a shared meal, and are followed by an educational topic and discussion led by staff and various community professionals. Public health nurses, family support workers, and community support workers are available for support.
