Thank you, Jodi, for sharing your beautiful Brelfie and your thoughtful words.

❄️ Breastfeeding adventures in the snow!

Angel took her 3-month-old daughter, Daisy, to Falls Creek for Yuki Birds - a day celebrating women in snow sports. When Daisy was ready for a feed, they simply paused to enjoy a quiet moment together among the snow.

“Had to make a brief stop so Daisy could feed. How awesome is breastfeeding 🥹🥹.” 💜

Thank you for sharing this beautiful winter Brelfie!

Yes, you can breastfeed here — and wherever you and your baby need to.

In Australia, breastfeeding in public is a legal right. Whether you’re at a café, park, shopping centre, beach or travelling on public transport, you have the right to breastfeed anywhere you’re legally allowed to be.

You cannot be asked to stop, cover up or leave because you’re breastfeeding.

Learn more about breastfeeding confidently in public and understand your rights: aba.asn.au/public.
