The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) is Australia's peak breastfeeding information and support service. Breastfeeding is a practical, learned skill and ABA helps more than 80,000 mothers each year. ABA also provides up-to-date information and continuing education for thousands of health professionals working with mothers and babies.

ABA also offers Breastfeeding Education Classes, designed for expectant parents to prepare for breastfeeding in the vital days, weeks and months after their baby's birth. These sessions aim to expand upon the knowledge gained at hospital antenatal classes, to give up-to-date information and insights into breastfeeding a baby and parenting in the early days.

ABA is now offering our highly rated class to student midwives at Edith Cowan University. The events will be taught by qualified breastfeeding counsellors and educators and include a live demonstration of breastfeeding by a volunteer mother and baby, just like our classes for parents.

Student midwives should register now, as the events and spaces are limited.
