Why school based breastfeeding/chestfeeding education?


  Values and attitudes about breastfeeding/ chestfeeding start early, and are guided by the role models and education about the subject in the early years.

 It is my mission and vision to improve breastfeeding/ chestfeeding rates, decrease the rates of health problems related to not breastfeeding, improve support and normalise breastfeeding.  


  Educating school students on breastfeeding not only empowers our future breastfeeders/ chestfeeders, but educates the wider community- our future politicians, policy makers, environmentalists, retail managers, employers, health care workers so that every cultural and social system is set up to support breastfeeding babies, children and families.

The Australian National Breastfeeding Strategy: 2019 and Beyond aims to improve breastfeeding rates nationally.  Structural enablers include "supporting breastfeeding education in schools and communities".
