BreastFedNZ vs Regulator

Nau mai Welcome to the BreastfedNZ App! This resource is grounded in both experience and evidence, with content thoughtfully curated by our team of qualified and compassionate breastfeeding specialists and lactation consultants. Our primary audience is the breastfeeding whānau families based in Aotearoa New Zealand. What sets this app apart is its content and guidance has been informed by the personal stories of the whānau families we serve. Thank you to all those whānau and friends whose generosity contributed the richness of this platform. We wish to also acknowledge the tangata whenua indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand. Enjoy exploring!
