23.01.2022 We'll have morning tea at my place, 9 poinsettia st on Thursday at 9.30am. If you would like to bring somethung for morning tea you can. Hope to see lots of mums come for a chat.

22.01.2022 I'd love to get a few more members here in Tom Price, so if you are interested this is the link to complete your membership. https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/membership/individual

22.01.2022 Always remember this. Also remember that the ABA helpline is a available 24 hours a day.

22.01.2022 This is the amazing book that you get to keep when you become an ABA member. ABA membership could be a great gift for someone that you know who is expecting a baby.

21.01.2022 Don't forget meet up at new park tomorrow at 9.30am. Bring coffee!

21.01.2022 Thought this was a little funny for Friday!

21.01.2022 How do I know if my baby is getting enough breastmilk? If your baby shows the following signs then it is likely that you do have enough milk. At least 6 very ...wet cloth nappies or at least 5 very wet disposable nappies in 24 hours. The urine should be odourless and clear/very pale in colour. Strong, dark urine suggest that the baby needs more breastmilk and you should seek medical advice. A young baby will usually have 3 or more soft or runny bowel movements each day for several weeks. An older baby is likely to have fewer bowel movements than this. Formed bowel motions suggest that the baby needs more breastmilk and you should seek medical advice. Some weight gain and growth in length and head circumference. Good skin colour and muscle tone. Does she look like she fits her skin? If you gently ‘pinch’ her skin, it should spring back into place. Your baby is alert and reasonably contented and does not want to feed constantly. It is however normal for babies to have times when they feed more frequently. See the Fussy babies is it the arsenic hour? and the Fussy periods and wonder weeks articles on this website. It is also normal for babies to wake for night feeds. Some babies sleep through the night at an early age while others wake during the night for some time. For more information about your supply and if your baby is getting enough. ---> https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au//my-baby-getting-enough-m

15.01.2022 Hi Everyone and welcome to the Tom Price ABA group. The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) is a group set up to support all women with their breastfeeding. We offer mum to mum support and aim to promote breastfeeding within the community.

15.01.2022 We have had a lot of new families move to town with lots of new babies. I would love to catch up with you all.

14.01.2022 ABA is mainly run on the money we get from memberships. Becoming a member of ABA can be really beneficial for mums who are expecting a baby or have recently had a baby. It would also make a great baby shower gift for an expectant mother. This link has more information on membership with ABA. https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/membership/individual

13.01.2022 Excited to find Breastfeeding Naturally in the Tom Price library today. It's an old version but still relevant

12.01.2022 Would everyone like morning tea tomorrow or Thursday?

12.01.2022 Our volunteers are the heart and soul of the Australian Breastfeeding Association. They have each undertaken a Cert IV in Breastfeeding Education with a commitm...ent of 2 years' Return of Service. Many of our volunteers stay much longer than that! Whether you are just starting your ABA traineeship, or have been a volunteer for 30+ years, we thank you for your amazing generosity, commitment and support. Tag a volunteer to make sure they know how much they are loved! See more

11.01.2022 Thanks to the ladies and bubs who attended today. Just realised we didn't have any girls there! We had some great conversation and brought up the topic of looking after ourselves. Here is an article about how we can take care of ourselves if you would like to read. https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bfinfo/yourself.html

09.01.2022 Hi Everyone, just seeing who was interested in meeting at the Town Pool on Wednesday morning for a paddle with your bubs.

09.01.2022 I thought this might be relevant here seeing as there are so many twins born here.

08.01.2022 What a great achievement. I have my shift today, wonder how many I can add??

07.01.2022 Interested information

06.01.2022 Hi everyone. Sorry i have been quiet on the page. I have been interstate and had sick children. Long story!! If you know any new mums in town that might like to join our group please let them know about our page. Also who's keen for a catch up next Wednesday??

06.01.2022 A bit of fun for a Thursday.

06.01.2022 Useful information.

05.01.2022 Just seeing if anyone was coming today?? Will have to move it to my place because of weather. Let me know if you are coming.

05.01.2022 I think this says it all.

05.01.2022 The LOVE hormon: Oxytocin By sucking at the breast, your baby triggers tiny nerves in the nipple. These nerves cause hormones to be released into your bloodstr...eam. One of these hormones (prolactin) acts on the milk-making tissues. The other hormone (oxytocin) causes the breast to push out or ‘let down’ the milk. Learn more about the let down reflex and how breastmilk is made https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au//early-da/let-down-reflex

04.01.2022 Breastmilk alone provides a baby with all of the nourishment needed for the first 6 months of life. From 6 months of age family foods may be introduced. Breastm...ilk, 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 Medical 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. Here are a few ideas to help at this new stage in your baby’s life. https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au//weaning-and-intro/solids

04.01.2022 Great information to remember about breast refusal.

04.01.2022 This is a common misperception. Although it can be a tricky time it definitely doesn't mean that you need to stop feeding.

04.01.2022 Don't forget we are meeting up in the morning at 9.30 at the park.

03.01.2022 Not much interest in meeting at the pool, so we'll give it a miss. Sorry ladies

02.01.2022 What positions have you used. Sometimes it really helps to change things up and helps to stimulate different parts of you breats.

01.01.2022 Love this new meme that ABA has released.

01.01.2022 Thanks to all the lovely ladies and gorgeous bubs that came to our meeting today. Great discussions and awesome support from everyone. See everyone in two weeks. Just keep boobin!

01.01.2022 Australian Breastfeeding Association volunteer breastfeeding counsellors are still here, on the National Breastfeeding Helpline all long weekend, but please bear with us if we take a little longer to answer your call
