The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) is a renowned organization dedicated to providing comprehensive support and education to mothers and families on breastfeeding. Through their interactive Breastfeeding Preparation Sessions, ABA offers online breastfeeding education during pregnancy, ensuring mothers are well-prepared for the journey ahead with their new babies. ABA’s ACT/NSW Branch local groups facilitate catch-ups and activities both online and in the community, fostering a supportive environment where mothers can access breastfeeding information, peer support, and connect with a parenting village for friendship and guidance.
With a strong commitment to promoting a breastfeeding-inclusive society, ABA engages in various advocacy programs and activities to support their vision. Their ‘How Breastfeeding Works’ booklets, available in 13 community languages, provide essential information in a clear and accessible manner, complemented by beautiful illustrations. ABA’s qualified volunteers collaborate with local health professionals to ensure the best practice care for breastfeeding women and babies, emphasizing the importance of holistic support and education in the breastfeeding journey.
As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO 21659) receiving funding from the Australian Government, The Australian Breastfeeding Association stands as a trusted resource for mothers and families seeking reliable breastfeeding support. Their dedication to acknowledging and respecting the Traditional Owners of Australia reflects a deep commitment to cultural inclusivity and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who have nurtured their babies through breastfeeding for thousands of years. ABA’s presence in local hospitals, health centers, and community events underscores their mission to provide accessible and empowering resources for all mothers.
