Title: Re: [ozmidwifery] Breastfeeding: Healthy children, families and communities seminar

Hi,   We would have loved to have done something in Perth, and had a program all set up.  But as you know, ABA works almost entirely through the work of our volunteer counsellors and Community Educators.  Numbers of volunteers in ABA as elsewhere are falling off, and the people in Perth just didn't have the woman power to organise something.   But there are ways you can support the Australian Breastfeeding Association from Perth, and with your support we may be able to do something in 2006. Ways to support us include: Go to www.breastfeeding.asn.au And donate to our Christmas appeal.  * Join ABA or the Lactation Resource centre (from the same link. * Reccommend mothers join the association - I can't think of a better investment for a mother and her baby. * Use the money you would have spent on going to the seminar in Perth (if we had one) and put it towards going to the Australian Breastfeeding Association's international conference in Hobart in September 2005     That's just a few.  And don't forget to shop via www.mothersdirect.com.au - fabulous stuff.  Or LCs and midwives www.lrc.asn.au   But in the other states, the seminar will be terrific.    Love, Barb ----- Original Message ----- From: Catherine Allgrove To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 9:43 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Breastfeeding: Healthy children, families andcommunities seminar Looks like Perth fell off the map again!
