• Breastfeeding

  Breastfeeding will be different for each mother and baby, and it can be a journey that triggers many different feelings. Changes will happen to you and your baby at differing times. Understanding this can help breastfeeding become more worthwhile for you and your baby.

  Some resources are available to help map the journey for each mother.

  The Breastfeeding Journey Map helps you see what to expect along the way.

  The most important thing to remember is to listen to the baby’s needs.

  The Breastfeeding and Work – Handbook was developed to help employers and senior management to create a supportive environment for all families returning to work after having a baby.

  The Family Friendly Checklist – Wangaratta prompts businesses to consider some of the factors that families take into consideration when choosing a venue to eat or shop.
