24.01.2022 Exclusively expressing for your baby? You are amazing! This is a harder journey than being able to feed baby directly at the breast. Many mums will choose exc...lusively expressing for many reasons. Read https://aba.asn.au/exclusive-expressing or talk to a counsellor for information and suggestions. #ABAIsHereForYou #ExclusiveExpressing #LiquidGold #PumpingMum #SometimesBreastfeedingLooksLikeThis

12.01.2022 I thought I would be feeling happy, why do I just feel numb? Feelings can go up and down for mums and dads before birth and after. Please know it is OK t...o not feel OK. But it is important you can talk to someone who cares especially if feeling down or flat is hard to explain. This could be your partner, family, or health professional. They will support you, they will help you. To check the signs of depression visit www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bf-info/pnd #TellSomeoneWhoCares #PANDAWeek2020 #ABAIsHereForYou #ItsOKNotToBeOK
