Let’s help all those mothers who want to but are bullied, let”s make the world now the big health benefits for our species so that breastfeeding becomes normal again and mothers don’t have to struggle! I’m an IBCLC, but never dared to feed my children uncovered. I regret this very much!

Proud to be an accredited Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace and a Breastfeeding Welcome Here venue
I finished breastfeeding my babies last year, my little ones were 5 1/2 and 3 1/2 years old. I am so lucky to have found support with the Australian Breastfeeding Association, which normalised the experience for me. I have made some wonderful friends, that I am sure will be my support through parenting and well after.
I am now a breastfeeding counsellor and I pledge to continue to share this wonderful support to all the mums I encounter. I will always discuss breastfeeding and the support mums require with community leaders and health professionals, encouraging them to be a little more informed, and know how to find support for the mums that they encounter.
I will always sneak a smile of encouragement and support to mums who I notice breastfeeding in public, because they are the ones doing the ground work for the mums of the future, and besides breastfeeding is beautiful in every way.

I pledge to always support Breastfeeding Mothers and babies. Breastfeeding is the biological norm and is an integral part of healthy child development. I pledge to encourage breastfeeding Mum’s and let them know that they are doing a great job in Mothering their child through Breastfeeding. I pledge to share how valuable the Australian Breastfeeding Association’s ‘Breastfeeding Education Class’ was to me, and was the key to my amazing Breastfeeding journey. I pledge to share how the Australian Breastfeeding Association’s 24 hour Breastfeeding Helpline (1800 mum 2 mum) was so supportive and helpful to me throughout different Breastfeeding challenges that I experienced, and subsequently conquered, due to their support and also the relevant information in the ABA published book ‘Breastfeeding…naturally’ (which is free with ABA membership). I pledge to remain an ongoing member of the Australian Breastfeeding Association to support their mission in supporting, educating and advocating for a breastfeeding inclusive society.

Having just had my 2nd baby 2 days ago, breastfeeding in public is not a new or daunting task for me. I still feed my 20 month old daughter & now that she is joined by her little brother, I will relish the closeness & joy that tandem feeding is giving us. Power to all mums out there for doing the best by your little 1’s & don’t let anyone try to shame you!

I have been breastfeeding my son for 16 months now and hated when he was younger that I felt like I had to hide from weary eyes who didn’t approve of my feeding choice and feel it should be normalized. If Victorias Secret can advertise like they can, then women should be able to breastfed in public like nature intended.

I am the oldest of three girls. My son is almost two months old and so far no one has said anything to my face about breastfeeding but I have received looks and inadvertent ridicule. This is so natural that it hurts me emotionally to be ridiculed. My cousin and I are a support group and I love it! I have taken pictures every public place I nurse and plan to make a collage so every woman who comes to my home forever will feel empowered!
