The Association for Breastfeeding Advocacy (Singapore) – ABAS – is an alliance of healthcare institutions, healthcare professionals’ associations, mother-support groups and individual healthcare professionals in private practice who see breast feeding of infants as an important fundamental building block for the health of the nation. ABAS became a registered society in November 2003, but the association had begun its work back in January 2001, under the name Singapore Breastfeeding Promotion Committee.
Help yourself and fellow breastfeeding colleagues by speaking to your HR personnel about ABAS’s programme of talks and consultation with management.
