22.01.2022 For some mums, a phone call to ABA, a cup of tea at a group meeting, a conversation on LiveChat something as simple as this can be the reason she continues to... breastfeed her baby.

Thats why we are asking for donations for our 2020 Tax Appeal.

14.01.2022 June 15th-21st is Mens Health Week. Its time we take time out to support all the dads out there as often we focus on mums as they navigate their breastfeeding... journey. Navigating life with a new baby can be difficult for both parents, and post-natal depression can just as real for dads as it can be for mums. Common physical signs might include: - tiredness - lack of appetite - trouble sleeping, or sleeping and waking at unusual times weight loss or gain. You might feel: - sad - guilty or ashamed - cranky, anxious and angry - isolated or disconnected from your partner, friends or family - unable to enjoy things you used to find fun or pleasurable. (https://raisingchildren.net.au//antenatal-postnatal-depres) These are just some of the symptoms you might be feeling if suffering from postnatal depression. If you are feeling like this and it lasts for more than 2 weeks, it would be helpful to check in with your medical practitioner.

14.01.2022 How do we get babies to sleep? It is normal for them to fall asleep at the breast. If we hold them until they fall into deep sleep (about 20 minutes) before m...oving, it reduces the chance of baby waking again. #BabySleep #breastfeeding #NormalBabyBehaviour #ParentToParentSupport #BabySleepTips See more

13.01.2022 On this day, in 1964, a small group of mothers got together in a Melbourne lounge room and formed NMA to support breastfeeding mothers, and educate the communit...y about the importance of breastfeeding.
