25.01.2022 Will we see you tomorrow? First meeting of the year

25.01.2022 See you this morning!

22.01.2022 There is lots of news media about COVID-19 and many people are concerned. If either a mother or baby is unwell it is important to keep breastfeeding. Breastmilk... contains protective antibodies to most viruses that the mother is exposed to. To reduce risk of transmission, those who spend time with your baby should wash their hands frequently and cover their mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. If you need help with breastfeeding or would like to restart breastfeeding, call the National Breastfeeding Helpline on 1800 686 268. ABA has recently released some updated information regarding the care of babies when you are unwell with a respiratory virus: https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bfinfo/covid-19 www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bfinfo/breastfeeding-and-influenza For specific information about the respiratory virus COVID-19 visit: UNICEF www.unicef.org//novel-coronavirus-outbreak-what-parents-sh www.cdc.gov//specifi/pregnancy-guidance-breastfeeding.html #COVID19 #virus #breastfeeding #protection #illness #information #support
