| Administrative or biographical history |
Administrative History:<br/><br/>Originally named the Nursing Mothers’ Association, this association was founded by (Natalie) Mary Paton and five friends – Janice Barry, Glenise Francis, Patricia Patterson, Pauline Pick and Susan Woods, on 13 February 1964 in suburban Melbourne, Victoria. <br/>In 1962, Mary Paton was acutely aware of the lack of breastfeeding information for young mothers when she was unable to adequately nurse her first born. She was concerned that the art of breastfeeding was in danger of being lost forever; at this time formula feeding was seen as modern and fashionable and viewed as being as good as, if not better than breastfeeding.<br/>Mary and her friends decided to take action and the name Nursing Mothers’ Association was decided upon as it combined the ideas of breastfeeding and nurturing. This was at a time when censorship restrictions would not allow words such as breast, pregnant or nipple in public print or on the airwaves. The Postmaster General’s Department (part of which is now Telstra) would not allow the word breastfeeding to be printed in the telephone directory. <br/>By 1965, the Constitution and a Code of Ethics were adopted. Counsellor training systems were introduced, and publications and booklets followed.<br/>The extra A for Australia was added in 1969 to reflect the national nature as the association grew. In 1976, the first breastfeeding Helpline was established in Melbourne, with trained volunteer counsellors taking calls day and night.<br/>This grass-roots association continued to grow nationally and a further name change took place in 2001 – the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA). By 2014, the ABA supported more than 80,000 mothers each year, ran a 24-hour Breastfeeding Helpline and had 230+ local support groups with 1100 trained volunteer counsellors and educators. <br/>The ABA continues to flourish and further information can be found on their website: https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au. <br/>Much of this information has been taken from a media release of the book “Nursing Mums: A history of the Australian Breastfeeding Association 1964 – 2014” and a Biography in Trove (NLA): “The Nursing Mothers’ Association Australia (1964 – 2001). <br/> |
