Local "Coffee Meetings"
in North West Tasmania

Tas Central Coast Group

The Central Coast Group of the Australian Breastfeeding Association is a group of mums who get together for coffee mornings and informal discussions. We talk about all sorts of things to do with being a mum and looking after children. Everybody is welcome - you don't have to be breastfeeding to come along! Babies and children are always welcome. All start at 10.00 am unless otherwise stated - don't worry if you're running late - we're glad to see you whenever you can get there!!

Wynyard Group

Wynyard ABA hold meetings in Smithton, Somerset and Wynyard. All mothers are welcome - whether breastfeeding or not. Meetings are relaxed and informative, and cover a range of breastfeeding and parenting issues. They are especially worthwhile for expectant and new mothers. Meetings run from 10am to 12 noon, and evening dessert and chat nights are held occasionally.

Discussions with a topic are held, with Burnie Group, on the 1st Thursday of the month at Cam Rise, the Uniting Church Hall, Wragg Street, Somerset. Please enter through the blue fence.

The Australian Breastfeeding Association is not linked to any church, or political/religious/other group.
