Support for parents of twins and multiples in Melbourne
NIMBA (Northern and Inner Multiple Birth Association Inc) is a group of families who have all had multiple births and live in the northern and inner suburbs of Melbourne, Naarm. We provide information, practical advice and support to families of multiples.
When you join NIMBA, you and your family will have the opportunity to form friendships and share the joy and challenges of raising twins, triplets or more.
NIMBA was founded in November 1987. NIMBA is a not-for-profit, volunteer run organisation. Our organisation is inclusive and provides opportunities and practical support for families with twins and triplets.
Joining NIMBA for a small annual fee gives you access to the activities, support and resources. In addition, you are automatically granted membership to the national body, the Australian Multiple Birth Association.

The Nimba community acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters on which our current members reside, and pays respect to their Elders past and present.
For more than 60,000 years, Wurundjeri families raised their children on this Country, building the kind of community that makes that possible. Among those children, across countless generations, were twins and multiples – and long before NIMBA existed, this Country already knew what it means to build a village around a family raising more than one child at once.
We are a small part of a very long story of community care. We are grateful to gather on this Country, and to carry that tradition forward in our own way.

Preston
13:00 – 16:00
Expectant parents and new parents welcome — bring your bubs!
Ever been to a breastfeeding info session that covers all the tips for feeding one baby, but leaves you wondering how on earth to manage feeding two (or more)? You're not alone — and this session is for you!
Whether you’re still expecting or your babies have already arrived, join us for a supportive, practical, and honest session all about feeding multiples — from the early days and beyond.
Venue details are shared on the Facebook Event for members. If you don't have access to our Facebook event, please email events@nimba.amba.org.au for further information.
The Presenter:
Simone brings a wealth of knowledge and experience supporting families with twins and more. She’ll guide you through what feeding might look like in the early days depending on gestation, birth weight, and feeding goals — whether that’s exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding, or a combination that works for your family.
The Session:
Simone’s talk will be divided into two parts:
Schedule:
*Antenatal (1:00 - 2.00pm): Preparing for feeding, understanding what to expect, and planning ahead
* Break (2:00pm - 2:15pm)
*Postnatal (2:15 – 3:30 PM) : Practical tips, positions, gadgets, and real-life strategies for feeding two babies at once
*Questions (3:30 – 4:00 PM) : Question time!
We’ll explore:
- Setting up for feeds
- Holding and positioning two babies
- Managing supply for multiples
- Useful equipment and gadgets
- When and how to express or combine feeds
- Realistic support you may need
Questions?
There’ll also be plenty of time for questions — so bring yours along!
