Benefits of Visiting a Baby Cafe:

Currently, approximately 80% of all US women start breastfeeding, but of those moms, approximately 60% do not reach their own goals.

In efforts to improve these rates, Baby Cafés offer support on all aspects of breastfeeding and its impact on daily life – from prenatal to weaning, as well as assistance with pumping and maintaining supply if moms return to work outside the home.

Baby Café sites are run by a range of trained staff including health professionals such as board-certified lactation consultants (IBCLCs), midwives and nurses, and other qualified and accredited breastfeeding counselors. All will have specific training and experience in helping breastfeeding families to provide a consistent, high standard of care.
