This term, ABA Mudgee EARLY DAZE will be running most Tuesday mornings. It is a free catch-up especially for expecting parents, those with newborns and young babies up to around 9 months, and their support people.

Meet up with other mums and bubs, and take the opportunity to ask any breastfeeding and baby related questions you may have - an ABA breastfeeding counsellor will be present.

MIXED FEEDING- Perhaps you've found yourself feeding a mix of direct breastfeeds, EBM bottle or cup feeds, and infant formula bottle or cup feeds, either as a short or a long term plan. Or perhaps you would like to introduce EBM or infant formula and aren't sure how.

You might want information and help about-

* How to maintain your supply alongside supplementary formula or EBM feeds
* How to encourage your baby to be keen for direct breastfeeds as well as supplementary feeds
* How to manage expressing, if that is part of your feeding plan
* How to help your baby to learn to use a bottle or cup (or vice versa if baby is fussy at the breast)
* How to move to full-time direct breastfeeding, if that is your goal, and how to check if that's realistic
* How to manage disappointment, if you had wanted to directly breastfeed for all your little one's feeds and have needed to mixed feed your little one.

You may want to share your own mixed feeding journey to support others figuring their own way through. Please join us!

All of your breastfeeding and baby queries are welcome regardless of the topic- positioning and attachment, breast and nipple care, mixed feeding, night-times, starting solids expressing and storing breastmilk, etc.

Morning tea will be provided. If you are having a fabulous morning and would like to bring a packet or plate to share, that is lovely, however if that's not how your morning is going, then just bring yourself and your little ones, there's always plenty to go around.

Bookings are essential for this session, as it may not be run if no one is coming along. If you or your baby are feeling ill, we will see you at the next one.

PlAyBA is run on Fridays and children of all ages are welcome, so it is perfect if you have older children too. Please see our other events for more information.
