Parenting Site of the Month

Founded in 1964, the Australian Breastfeeding Association is
dedicated to encouraging and supporting breastfeeding mothers,
promoting loving parenting, and creating an awareness of the
importance of breastfeeding in the wider community.
We featured the ABA website in June 2001. The site has since
greatly expanded to include a large section of Breastfeeding
Information on numerous topics ("Controlling or
spoiling?" is especially helpful), a lively forum with
discussions on many aspects of breastfeeding and parenting, such
as Preparation for Breastfeeding, Introducing Solids, Breast
Refusal, Weaning, Breastfeeding Multiples, and more. A
subscriber-only section offers news, information and breastfeeding
articles.
The site also includes information on health professionals, a
section of breastfeeding advocacy, a notice board, guestbook,
breastfeeding-related virtual postcards, and a list of
breastfeeding education classes in Australia. Local support groups
offer videos, DVDs, breastfeeding pillows and other items in the
Products and Services section. Two excellent and very creative
television ads are linked from the top of the Media Release page.
While ABA is located in Australia, this excellent website
brings their expertise and support to a world audience. It is a
delight to revisit this hard-working and dedicated organization.
