A weekly gathering for nursing mothers and babies
Connect with other women. Trust in your Mama instincts! Listen to what your baby is telling you.
Join us every Wednesday for the Breastfeeding Café from 10:30am to noon. Come in and sit with Lenora or Deirdre, ask your questions and share in the sisterhood of new motherhood with other nursing moms. The cafe is an uniquely affordable way to have a visit with an IBCLC in order to help you judge if your issues or concerns require further private help and support.
Location: Lift Wellness Center, 42 Main Stree, Nyack
Cost: $120 for eight weeks, $20 for a single drop-in class
