Become a Breastfeeding Advocate

Pregnant Woman with Mother

Welcome to the frontline of change, where we are a force to be reckoned with!

 

We are determined, and united in our pursuit to protect mothers and children from predatory marketing that undermines breastfeeding and the biological norm.

​

We are here to reveal a path that dismantles corporate greed and manipulation.

Together, we create a powerful movement that challenges the status quo. Our message is clear – we stand with mothers, side by side, as they rise against predatory marketing.

I have met some of the most passionate and driven women in my advocacy work with BAA. I feel valued, appreciated and supported to learn.

As a breastfeeding advocate I get to share my knowledge and experience to support and encourage women and mothers feel empowered in their breastfeeding journey. I also get to interact with politicians and urge them to pay attention to women/mothers’ needs during their pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding years. I love the interaction with women. To hear how they appreciate the support is very personally satisfying.
