Hi, The Australian Breastfeeding Association will be holding our seminar series in Brisbane Feb 2th, Sydney Feb 28th, Geelong March 1st and Adelaide March 2nd. There will also be a "Counselling the Breastfeeding Mother" workshop on the day before each of these, and also in Perth on March 2nd.
We have heard that several people from the Parliamentary Inquiry into breastfeeding will be attending the Adelaide seminar - a great chance to let them know your views!
