Baby cafe will be open on Wednesdays from noon - 1:30 at Diegmann Henderson OB GYN.
Baby Cafe is an international network of drop-in breastfeeding centers. The Eastern Shore Baby Cafe began when long-time Baldwin County resident Catherine Hanks, an RN and lactation consultant, had a vision to create a community breastfeeding support center in our area. She enlisted the support of local pediatrician and breastfeeding advocate, Dr. Kelly Green. They obtained a grant from the Alabama Breastfeeding Committee and Thomas Hospital agreed to provide lactation staff and ongoing project funding. Scotty Thomson, IBCLC and Director of Lactation Services at Thomas Hospital Birth Center joined the team.
All pregnant or breastfeeding moms are welcome to stop by on Wednesdays between noon and 1:30 at Drs. Diegmann and Henderson's OBGYN office. Enjoy the opportunity to socialize with other breastfeeding moms. Pre-school age big siblings welcome. At baby cafe we can answer questions, help moms with breastfeeding problems, and provide information to pregnant women considering breastfeeding. An IBCLC-certified lactation consult will be there. Watch this Facebook page for any schedule changes, cancellations, or plans for special pot luck gatherings. We look forward to seeing you and your sweet babies!
