Breastfeeding Cafés

Breastfeeding is heart warming and magical, but it can also feel lonely and isolating. It involves giving so much love, touch, and care, while often feeling untouched or not fully understood yourself. ​

Our cafés were started to give breastfeeding mothers a chance to meet others who truly understand, and to feel supported in a safe and welcoming environment.

​

The first café took place in 2023 with just 4 mums meeting in a local café. Two years later, we now regularly welcome over 20 attendees, with our summer picnic drawing 37 mums and babies together.

​

Whether you’re breastfeeding a newborn or an older baby, you’re very welcome. Our cafés are designed for mothers with babies up to 18 months old.

​

Each week, we explore a different topic related to feeding, parenting, or infant care, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, share your experiences, and gain reassurance from others on a similar journey.

​

Come along, bring your baby, and enjoy some friendly company over a cup of tea or coffee and a slice of cake. We look forward to seeing you there!​
