TI  - Improving community acceptance of breastfeeding in public: a collaborative 
      approach.
PG  - 5-10
AB  - This project, conducted from 2001 to 2003, reports the results of an action 
      research plan aimed to improve community acceptability of breastfeeding in public 
      through the accreditation and promotion of breastfeeding-friendly venues in 
      Australia. The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) along with other 
      breastfeeding support groups, the media, community groups and organisations have 
      collaborated on this project to promote and distribute over 17 000 'Breastfeeding 
      Welcome Here' kits. The strong links established with ABA and the use of their 
      logo have assisted in promotion of the kit and enabled the initiative to be 
      sustainable beyond the project. The identification of breastfeeding-friendly 
      venues has provided more places for mothers to breastfeed in a welcoming 
      environment when out of the home, while at the same time communicating to the 
      community that breastfeeding is acceptable anywhere. Information about the 
      national kit and how to obtain copies is located on the ABA website: 
      www.breastfeeding.asn.au.
