21.01.2022 As restrictions ease and the weather begins to warm up many of us will start to adventure out again. For some this might mean their first time breastfeeding out in public! Some mothers can find it daunting the first time feeding their babies out and about, away from that comfy chair snuggled up quietly at home. For many mothers it can be reassuring to know that they have support to breastfeed wherever and whenever the need may arise and that they have protection under the fed...eral Sex Discrimination Act 1984. Maybe you'd like to share what has helped you while breastfeeding out and about? Want to learn more ? visit: https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au//breastfeeding/legalright Breastfeeding is a normal and natural thing to do and when you breastfeed in public you help to normalise breastfeeding and further empower women. Thank you for breastfeeding in Public and enjoy getting out and about!

14.01.2022 Breastmilk alone provides a baby with all of the nourishment needed for the first 6 months of life. From around 6 months of age family foods may be introduced. Breastmilk, however, continues to be a baby’s main source of nutrition for the first 12 months. The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months and then for breastfeeding to continue alongside complementary (family) foods for 2 years or beyond. Australia's National Health and Med...ical Research Council (NHMRC) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for around the first 6 months and then for breastfeeding to continue alongside complementary foods for 1 year, or as long as mother and child desire.

12.01.2022 Establishing breastfeeding takes at least the first 4-6 weeks of a newborns life. Recognising feeding cues in babies is very helpful to avoid feeding when they are crying (making it harder to get a good latch) and to ensure babies are fed often enough. Turning their head side to side, opening the mouth and bringing hands to mouth are early signs a baby is hungry....crying to too late. For more info on feeding cues you can read more here https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bfinfo/feeding-cues

01.01.2022 Introducing ‘Breastfeeding with ABA’, a new podcast and blog brought to you by volunteers from the Australian Breastfeeding Association. ‘Breastfeeding with ABA’ is about breastfeeding - made by parents, for parents. When you’re a new parent, you need information that’s easy to access and easy to understand. You need to know it’s from a source you can trust. Most of all you need support and understanding from people who know what you’re going through the changes a new bab...y brings. ABA was started in 1964 by a group of mums in a suburban loungeroom who wanted to breastfeed their babies and support each other. Fast forward to today and ABA is still supporting families to breastfeed their babies. The beauty of ‘Breastfeeding with ABA’ is that it is by parents and for parents, but has the added benefit of being backed by 56 years of wisdom and, thanks to ABA’s Breastfeeding Information and Research team, is supported with up-to-date information that you can trust. On ‘Breastfeeding with ABA’, you will hear parents who’ve been through it all talk about the early days after your baby is born waiting for your milk to come in; dealing with or hopefully avoiding cracked nipples; breastfed babies and poo; managing our milk supply; sleep; crying and fussy babies; and most importantly, finding your village. We know that every challenge can be faced when you have your village around you. We know because we’ve faced them too. We are launching Season 1 of ‘Breastfeeding with ABA’ 19 November 2020. About the podcast: The pod episodes will be short enough to listen to during a breastfeeding session and you can dip back and re-listen any time you need.
