Hi everyone,

Well, here we are, December has arrived and many will be having breaks. Although I know that many of you will be staffing the wards and clinics through the festive season – thank you for all you do!

This month you will notice things are a little quieter as our volunteers take a well-earned break.

Registrations remain open for the Annual Health Professional Seminar series with an Early Bird rate in place. Have you had the chance to look at the topics being presented yet? The seminars are a great opportunity to be updated on the latest breastfeeding information while surrounded by friends and colleagues. Find out more here.

ABA’s WHO Code Taskforce continues to collect WHO Code breaches. Thank you to those who have already contributed WHO Code breach reports; we have been very happy with the response. If you spot any unethical advertising of formula and milk drinks for babies up to 36 months of age, bottles/teats, or foods for under 6 months of age, you can help by reporting it via our survey. To read more about the project and report a breach, click here.

Thank you for all your ongoing support, and wishing you a very relaxing festive season,

Naomi Hull

Senior Manager Breastfeeding Information and Research
