AB  - The strategies of health promotion, as outlined in the World Health 
      Organization's Ottawa Chapter of Health Promotion provide a good framework for a 
      multifaceted approach to improving breastfeeding rates. The Australian 
      Breastfeeding Association (ABA) utilises the full range of these health promotion 
      strategies. Through the energy and commitment of the nationwide network of the 
      association's volunteers, many beneficial breastfeeding initiatives have been 
      implemented over the past few years. The aim of this paper is to describe one of 
      these initiatives, the ABA's Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace Accreditation 
      program (BFWA), within the context of health promotion. First, a summary of 
      breastfeeding information will be presented, then the program will be described, 
      the support it provides for breastfeeding mothers in the workplace will be 
      outlined and the impact of BFWA since its implementation in 2002 will be 
      examined.
