The ABM was founded in 1979 by a group of mothers who felt that there was a need for another breastfeeding organisation. We are a charity run by mothers for mothers, committed to giving friendly support and supplying accurate information to all women wishing to breastfeed. You don't have to be a member to get help from us.

Association of Breastfeeding Mothers Patron, Janey Lee Grace, says

I'm thrilled to be patron of the ABM, they're dedicated and passionate and committed to raising awareness of the benefits of breastfeeding and offering support to anyone having problems.

Janey Lee Grace is author of 'Imperfectly Natural Baby and toddler' and 'Imperfectly Natural Woman' and she is the mother of 4 children under 9 (2 still breastfeeding!).
