When you’re a mum or dad, you need information that’s easy to access and easy to understand. You need to know it’s from a source you can trust.

Most of all you need support and understanding from people who know what you’re going through the changes a new baby brings. 

ABA was started in 1964 by a group of mums in a suburban loungeroom who wanted to breastfeed their babies and support each other. Fast forward to today and ABA is still supporting families to breastfeed their babies. 

The beauty of Breastfeeding … with ABA is that it is by parents and for parents, but has the added benefit of being backed by 56 years of wisdom and, thanks to ABA’s Breastfeeding Information and Research team, is supported with up-to-date information that you can trust.

“Breastfeeding… with ABA” is a podcast and blog designed to support parents through their breastfeeding journey and beyond, created by parents for parents. It offers evidence-based information from trusted sources, covering common questions about early days, milk supply, sleep, and more. The content also features real-life stories from mothers, fathers, and grandparents, highlighting their challenges and triumphs.

The podcast and blog delve into a wide range of topics relevant to breastfeeding, from specific developmental stages of babies (e.g., 8-month-olds, 4-month-olds) to practical advice on issues like baby-led solids, allergies, and managing breastmilk supply. It addresses concerns such as nipple care, alcohol consumption while breastfeeding, and the “lasagne effect” related to breastfeeding timing and meals.

Furthermore, “Breastfeeding… with ABA” includes personal narratives covering diverse experiences such as breastfeeding with autism, after adoption, while working fly-in-fly-out, or for extended periods (eleven years). It also highlights the importance of community support, features discussions with experts on topics like mastitis and the role of nutrients, and provides guidance for supporting LGBTQIA+ families and new mothers.
