Creating a Breastfeeding Café in Your Own
Community
Exciting News!!!
Various groups around the U.S. have begun to
create breastfeeding cafe's in their own
communities. Inspired by the book, The
Breastfeeding Café, they are meeting in
public spaces to spread the word that
breastfeeding is normal, that nursing mothers
don't have to retreat to public bathrooms to
feed their children.
One such group is the
Adirondack Council for Birthing Women.
Since the summer of 2005, mothers have been
meeting monthly in local restaurants that have
agreed to host the events. With a sign in
the window declaring "Breastfeeding Welcome
Here," it spreads a nursing-friendly message to
all.

is a sign for you to print out and laminate to
distribute to restaurants and retailers in your
own community. Do keep us posted on your
success! |
