Welcome to the Tenterfield/Granite Belt group of the ABA. The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) is an organisation of people interested in the promotion and protection of breastfeeding.
Our local Tenterfield/Granite Belt group meets twice a month, once in Stanthorpe, once in Tenterfield. Experienced Breastfeeding Counsellors are available for confidential breastfeeding counselling.
You may also wish to look at the extensive information on the Australian Breastfeeding Association web page.
Group meetings
There is always an experienced breastfeeding counsellor available at each meeting to answer your questions. Bring a plate to share if you are having a good day - if not, please come anyway and enjoy! We have a lovely group of women and children who attend the meetings
