The Australian breastfeeding Association has been an
extremely vital resource, giving mothers advice on a range of topics including
the importance of nursing your infant.
This week they are celebrating and continuing to raise public
awareness through National Mothering Week. Many of the 20 local support groups
across Australia will be holding local events to unite mothers from all walks
of life.
“National Mothering Week is a wonderful opportunity to give
thanks to mothers, but also a great time to acknowledge the diversity,
complexity, challenges and joys of mothering”. Says Rachel Fuller, National
President, Australian Breast Feeding Association.
As a mother, nothing
beats having another mother to chat to about your queries and concerns. You can
also form lifelong friendships at weekly meetings. If you’re interested in
