Moments that matter - Celebrating the small wins
Do you remember the small moments that changed everything? That warm, close contact of the first breastfeed. The confidence that came from knowing you had support, no matter the time of day.
Every day, new parents come to the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) seeking reassurance, information, and connection. They might feel anxious or tired, but above all, they're looking for understanding from others who have shared similar experiences. These meaningful moments deserve recognition.

Maddie, mum to 11-month-old Sebastian, reached out to ABA after early breastfeeding challenges.
"It has been amazing to have ABA available. It was actually my mum who suggested I call them as she used to attend ABA meeting back in the 80s. At some point, breastfeeding stopped being a big effort and it just fell into place. Now every moment is a joy."
Simonetta, mum to five-month-old Sebastian, found ABA’s breastfeeding class incredibly helpful.
"The course was so helpful and informative, with knowledgeable mums sharing guidance and real-life experience about breastfeeding. The 24/7 ABA Helpline has also been amazing - there’s always someone available to answer my questions. I often use the ABA website too as a go-to source of information and support.”
Jayd, mum to 12-week-old Fiadh, found ABA’s breast pump hire and app incredibly helpful.
“The app helps me track my baby’s development, and I use it all the time. ABA offers such a wealth of knowledge and support for new parents.”
