ABM are a group of trained volunteers dedicated to supporting breastfeeding mums and their families.

We support all maternity service users to navigate the system as it exists, and campaign for a system that truly meets the needs of all.

Our charity is here to support you if you receive a scan result that shows your baby may not be developing as expected. We give you the information and support you need to make your own decision about what to do next.

We are midwives, student midwives and others committed to improving maternity services in the UK and internationally. We strongly believe that all women have the right to a service tailored closely to their needs, and a sympathetic attitude on the part of their professional attendants.

The UNICEF UK Baby Friendly Initiative enables public services to better support families with feeding and developing close and loving relationships so that all babies get the best possible start in life.
