ABA Marrickville - Calendar of Events

All are welcome to our informal discussion and coffee mornings held in the homes of local members. A Breastfeeding Counsellor is available at all discussion meetings to answer any questions you may have.

For those of you who may never have been to an ABA meeting before, they are a place where your baby and toddler are welcome and where you will get good conversation and good company. We don't mind if you come late or leave early, or if your baby cries, or if you're not feeling very witty or wonderful on the day. Even if the topic does not interest you come along anyway for a cuppa and a chat!
