This is an important service which helps many Moms and babies. What could be more important than helping our children get the start they deserve in life? You can't out a price on that!

I was very surprised to hear that this essential service is in jeopardy. The value of the ABA's support for mothers and babies simply cannot be expressed as a dollar amount... the benefits and healthcare savings from successful breastfeeding alone are phenomenal and should be more than reason enough to ensure the continuation of this much needed resource.

Such an important service that can literally help save lives of babies. Why jeopardise health of babies by cutting this service?

I had so much trouble with breastfeeding. I was expressing & bottle feeding for the first month of my first born's life. Thanks to the support of the ABA & a 5 day stay at the Ellen Barron Centre we were able to get on track. I breast fed her for 20 months & then 2 years with my 2nd child. They both have the most amazing immune systems & avoided many of the absences from child care that many kids experience. As a result I have been far more productive in the workforce.

1 million is short change and preventative compared with the future health care costs of babies that don't get breast milk.

Where is the support for such a natural but hard process if the ABA phone service disappears? Please don't let this service die.

Our new mothers need this support service; to cut the funding is ludicrous.

As a Midwife I cannot recommend ABA enough as a lifeline to mothers in the community. Funding should continue.

I would not know what i would have done if it wasnt for the aba at 2am in the morning. Every breastfeeding mum needs that support, reassurance and advice available at anytime of the day or night.

The ABA are invaluable to mothers! I was had two crisis points and they were the only people I could turn too for advice. They are extremely valuable to the community. This is an essential service for women, especially those with breast fed babies.
The government need to recognize their value in supporting women's health ( and babies!).

Breast is best for baby if possible, so in order for babies (our nation's future) to get the best their mother's need to be supported.
