AUSTRALIAN BREASTFEEDING ASSOCIATION
HELENSBURGH & ENGADINE GROUP

Your local group holds regular informal get-togethers offering mother-to-mother support. We usually discuss a parenting or breastfeeding topic, and our get-togethers are an excellent source of accurate and up-to-date breastfeeding information for mothers and mothers-to-be. A trained Breastfeeding Counsellor is always present to answer questions or offer reassurance. Why not come along to see what you think? Children are always welcome. For venues or more information, please ring one of the counsellors below.

I can breastfeed and work? How and why?: We will discuss ways to combine breastfeeding with work or study outside the home. Come and listen to the experiences of other mothers. Friday 11 April at 10am.

Kids’ Fun Day: Bring a picnic and bikes for a school holiday get-together at Cooper Street Park, Engadine. Wednesday 23 April at 10am.

Guest Speaker - Baby Massage: Bring a towel and some oil, and enjoy a relaxing massage at Helensburgh Community Centre, Friday 9 May at 10am.

For information on Breastfeeding and Early Parenting Workshops, please ring Hazel on 4294 4120. These are held on Saturdays and are designed for expectant parents, covering the basic information needed to breastfeed your baby. Breastfeeding, while natural, is still a learned skill for both mother and baby and it helps to learn as much as you can before the birth.

The Australian Breastfeeding Association is a voluntary non-profit organisation. Our aim is to encourage and support mothers who wish to breastfeed their babies. If you would like to find out more about your local group, please ring one of your local counsellors: Jenny (4267 3987), Hazel (4294 4120), Tracey (9520 3379) or Lee (4294 1114).
