Supportive Community Atmosphere
At the Australian Breastfeeding Association Tarragindi, mums and their families find a safe and welcoming environment where they can freely discuss their experiences, frustrations, and joys of parenting.
The group fosters a non-judgmental atmosphere, allowing individuals to connect, share stories, and seek support from like-minded parents who understand the unique challenges of breastfeeding.
Connect and Share Sessions
The Connect and Share sessions, held fortnightly on Wednesdays during school terms, are a cornerstone of the Tarragindi group’s activities. These sessions provide an opportunity for mothers to come together, build friendships, and benefit from a supportive community.
By sharing their personal experiences, challenges, and triumphs, participants receive emotional support and practical advice from fellow parents, forming lasting bonds and friendships along the way.
Chat and Play Sessions
In addition to their regular Connect and Share sessions, the group also organises Chat and Play sessions during school holidays. These gatherings offer parents and children the chance to socialise, engage in fun activities, and form connections beyond breastfeeding support.
The Tarragindi group aims to facilitate a sense of belonging and community among its members by creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for families.
Breastfeeding Education Classes
The association understands the importance of providing comprehensive education about breastfeeding. To address this need, they conduct Breastfeeding Education Classes, with the next session scheduled for 29 May 2023 at the Holland Park Library.
These classes cover essential topics such as how breastfeeding works, getting started with positioning and attachment, managing the early weeks, and dealing with potential breastfeeding challenges.
Moreover, the classes offer guidance on adjusting to life with a new baby and provide information on obtaining further support. Further details about the upcoming class can be viewed through the group’s Events page on Facebook.
