What is a breastfeeding counsellor?

Leila talks to Jess about the role a breastfeeding counsellor plays in providing mum-to-mum support. We also hear from Kristy about her experience calling the National Breastfeeding Helpline and receiving that support. Leila also tells us about the training breastfeeding counsellors receive and how people can become involved with volunteering with ABA.Links to more about the information discussed in this episode and the episode transcript: https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/podcast-what-is-a-breastfeeding-counsellorVisit the blog for more on this topic: https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/blog-better-together-volunteering-with-abaFor breastfeeding help right now (for listeners in Australia), call our National Breastfeeding Helpline on 1800 686 268, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: https://aba.asn.au/breastfeedinghelplineBWABA Want to join the conversation?
