At the park? Yep. 🌳
At a café? Absolutely. ☕
On the tram? Here too! 🤱

Join Emily, ABA’s Breastfeeding Friendly Australia Manager, as she shows us just some of the places you can breastfeed.

In Australia, you have the right to breastfeed wherever you’re legally allowed to be. The S*x Discrimination Act 1984 protects you from breastfeeding discrimination.

A feed with a view! 🗻💙

Sarah’s brelfie at Mount Fuji captures a little moment of connection on a big adventure. Wherever your travels take you, sometimes it’s time to pause for a breastfeed. 🤱✨

Support belongs on the menu. 💙

This World Food Day, let’s remember the mum doing the feeding, too.

Small acts of support can make a difference:
🥗 Bring her a meal or a snack.
🧺 Take care of a household chore.
💬 Listen, offer encouragement and ask what she needs.
📚 Help her connect with trusted breastfeeding information and support.

Whether you’re a partner, friend or family member, you have a place on her support team.

ABA is here with breastfeeding information and support at breastfeeding.asn.au.

Today, on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we remember the babies who are deeply loved and missed, and acknowledge everyone touched by pregnancy and infant loss. 🤍

To those grieving, whether your loss was recent or many years ago, your grief matters. There is no right way to feel or timeline you need to follow.

For some, breastfeeding or expressing may have been part of their experience. Others may be navigating making breastmilk after loss. Whatever your story, you deserve compassionate care and support.

For information and support about lactation after loss, visit ABA’s Lactation after infant death or separation page: https://aba.asn.au/lost.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. 🤍

This International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (13 October), we’re highlighting the importance of including babies and young children in family emergency planning. 💜

Emergencies can disrupt power, water, food supplies and support networks. Taking small steps now can help you feel more prepared:

✅ Know the risks in your area
✅ Make a family emergency plan
✅ Pack an evacuation kit that includes your baby’s feeding needs
✅ Review your supplies as your family grows.

Supporting breastfeeding and planning for safe infant feeding are essential parts of emergency preparedness. Families need trusted information and practical support before, during and after an emergency.

👉 Swipe through for tips, and find ABA’s emergency resources and evacuation kit checklist at aba.asn.au/emergency.
