This week, ABA welcomes our new Executive Officer, Victoria Cerins-Marshall. We wish her well as she settles into her new role.
We are all familiar now with the knowledge that ‘nutrition and nurturing during the first year of life are both crucial for life long health and well-being’ (WHO, 2019), but how are we going in ensuring that babies are fed in such a way that supports their life-long health?
The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) runs the National Breastfeeding Helpline 1800 mum 2 mum (1800 686 268). The Breastfeeding Helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It is staffed by trained, volunteer counsellors who answer calls on a roster system in their own homes.
