Hi everyone,

Welcome to the news for our March edition!

You may be reading this before our HP Seminars in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth, or maybe you have already attended. You might have the chance to still come along or register for online registration. Find out more here.

If you are reading this before the 5th of March you might like to know that we have some special offers at the HP Seminars. Everyone who renews or joins up as Professional Members of ABA on the day will go into the draw to win a full set of ABA Booklets in a binder. Second, we have a special price on Breastfeeding Management, 5th Ed. Usually $220, on the day it will be $140 for non-members, $112 for members.

You will now be able to access and read the refreshed information with regards to management of mastitis, engorgement and how we talk about reduced flow (blocked ducts). Our member-only Feature Article for this month looks into this in more detail and of course an updated Fact Sheet (available to all).

Have you had the chance to join us in asking the Federal Government to commit to the continued funding of the National Breastfeeding Helpline? It isn’t too late. We have recently refreshed the content of the letter that you can send from the DoGooder platform. Many are confirming that this is super easy to do and takes only one minute – just enter your post code, name and email address and a letter gets sent off to your Federal MP with your name on it. You can even edit the letter to add your personal thoughts if you have extra time.

Thank you for all your ongoing support,

Naomi Hull

Senior Manager Breastfeeding Information and Research
