Our coalition brings together child and parent advocates, breastfeeding organisations, health bodies, and representatives of women and working women in a campaign focused on on our smallest citizens – newborn infants.
26 for Babies works to build public awareness and encourage the Government to ensure that the objective of Sue Moroney’s Bill is achieved: longer paid parental leave in the interests of babies and their families.
