The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) have online resources and encourage families to prepare for the upcoming bushfire season.
ABA have developed a quick guide that’s helpful for sparking conversations on how families can prepare.
ABA are also running an emergency prep week social media campaign, encouraging families to revisit their bushfire plans, update their evacuation kits to suit the needs of their growing family, and explore our comprehensive resource on evacuation kits for babies of different ages and feeding methods.
You can access all these resources here: Emergency Resources for Babies and Toddlers.
