You know the difference trusted breastfeeding support can make.
The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) always keeps this support available even during the festive season. Your support can continue to help mums navigate breastfeeding challenges and reach their goals. We are asking you to donate to help ensure breastfeeding support is there when a mum needs it.
This joyful time can also bring added pressures for new mums as they build confidence in breastfeeding and parenting. Trusted support and connection can help them feel informed, reassured and less alone.

How your donations help mums like Yasmin
Yasmin, Mum to 11-month-old Esmae, had her baby during the festive season in 2025. She struggled to breastfeed and found ABA’s Breastfeeding Helpline and website extremely useful during this time.
‘They took the time and consideration to ensure I understood their recommendations as well as listened to my worries, fears and questions. They explained to me the warning signs of mastitis, how to relieve engorged breasts during the initial period ... as well as when to seek further help regarding improper latch and how to support the correction of an improper latch. Thanks to the volunteers at ABA, I felt empowered to advocate for myself and my daughter after being dismissed. ’ Yasmin

ABA volunteer Lauren loves taking a Christmas Day shift on the Helpline and feels especially valued for offering support during this time
‘Volunteering during the festive period is so rewarding as mums and families are always so appreciative. I also enjoy the time to slow down and hide myself away from everything else for an hour and mindfully connect with the person in the phone during this busy time’ Lauren
