Learning to breastfeed can be hard at first. We can help you and your baby succeed!

The Baby Café supports all aspects of breastfeeding/pumping — from before baby is born to weaning to mom’s return to work.

Share your experiences and learn how others are adjusting to the demands of motherhood. You can expect:

• A relaxed, informal, child-friendly environment with open-forum discussions and a chance to meet other moms.
• To receive up-to-date information from knowledgeable staff at no cost to you.
• To learn breastfeeding techniques with a “hands-off” approach (or with staff working over your hands, if needed).

The Baby Café will take place on Tuesdays between 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. No appointment or YMCA membership needed to participate.

Children are welcome to attend the Baby Café. However, if you would prefer, the St. Cloud Area Family Y does offer childcare for $5 per half hour to both members and non-members. You will need to make an online reservation 24 hours in advance.
