Karen, counsellor
Australian Breastfeeding Association
(ABA)
The
ABA is a volunteer organisation that exists
to help YOU. Karen speaks on DVD3
(making sense of your baby) about the
Australian Breastfeeding Association.
Since it began in 1964,
over 120,000 people have been members of ABA
and thousands more have used the telephone
counselling services, literature and
community education opportunities the
association provides.
ABA is one of the largest
non-profit self-help groups in Australia,
and as such, Birthing Sense is contributing
a percentage of it's sales to ABA.
As at October 31st 2002,
the Australian Breastfeeding Association has
1304 counsellors, 373 trainee counsellors,
355 groups and 11572 members (ABA website)
