Held annually in the week leading up to Mother’s Day, National Mothering Week (NMW) is all about celebrating mums, recognising the mothering experience, and holding space for mum-to-mum connection.
It is also about reminding the broader public about the importance of providing support to mums – at every stage of motherhood.
2024 is ABA's 60th anniversary year and with this milestone in mind, this year's NMW theme is, 60 years of endless love, reflecting the name of our special 60th anniversary rose, 'Endless love'.
Join us for a special morning tea to celebrate you!
Connect & Share sessions involve getting together to participate in a facilitated group chat on a particular topic. After a general welcome and introduction we will have around 15-20 minutes of formal discussion on the chosen topic, followed by informal social time and individual support with a breastfeeding counsellor. For attendees wanting to find out more on the topic, the facilitator will direct them to supporting ABA resources.
Participants are encouraged to share experiences, ask questions, and provide input.
This is a very relaxed meet up – it’s fine if you come late/leave early – we know what it’s like to be operating on baby time! Partners, expectant parents, friends, and children are welcome.
