The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) is an Australian organisation interested in
the promotion of breastfeeding and protection of nursing mothers, was founded
in Melbourne, Victoria in 1964 as the Nursing Mothers' Association, with the
aim of giving mother-to-mother support to breastfeeding women, Australia's
leading source of breastfeeding information and support.
Mary Paton founded the Nursing Mothers' Association with five
other mothers in Melbourne after having difficulty breastfeeding her first
child. There was a lack of support and accurate information about
breastfeeding. The ABA had over 10,000 members by 1973.
In 2001, NMA changed its name to Australian Breastfeeding Association. At 2016, over 350,000 people
have been members.
In 2015 the ABA launched the Breastfeeding Friendly
Environments program to provide support to mothers returning to work. In
Australia, during January 2014, Melbourne tech startup Small World Social
collaborated with the Australian Breastfeeding Association to create the first
hands-free breastfeeding Google Glass application for new mothers. The
application, named Google Glass Breastfeeding app trial, allows mothers to
nurse their baby while viewing instructions about common breastfeeding issues.
The trial was successfully concluded in Melbourne in April 2014 and 100 % of
participants were breastfeeding confidently.
Is My Baby Getting
Enough Milk?
At least 6 very wet cloth nappies in 24 hours. Strong, dark urine suggest that the baby needs more
breastmilk and you should seek medical advice.
An older baby is likely to have fewer bowel movements than a young
baby. Formed bowel motions suggest that the baby needs more breastmilk and you
should seek medical advice.
It is however normal for babies to have times when they feed
more frequently, also normal for babies to wake for night feeds.
The first bowel motions a baby has are black and sticky. The Normal
Nappies Chart contains further information and
pictures about newborn nappies.
