The Baby Friendly Online Education course course was developed in 2005 as a key strategy of the South Australian Breastfeeding Program (SABP). It has been regularly updated since then to provide online access for a range of users to contemporary information about breastfeeding. The course is hosted and governed by the Women's and Children's Health Network on behalf of SA Health.
Originally designed to support the South Australian Breastfeeding Program, the course is now accessed by people across Australia and overseas including US, UK, Canada, India, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, Honduras and Qatar.
