Baby Café Bakersfield is a free service which offers a full range of breastfeeding support, from education to hands-on help to peer support.
We hold weekly in-person and virtual support group meetings and answer questions via text and phone daily.
Our highly-trained and experienced staff of IBCLCs and lactation counselors are committed to helping you meet your own goals and feed your baby the way you want.
Our Practice Philosophy
Keep breastfeeding simple
Minimize the use of tools or devices (like pumps, nipple shields, or ointments)
whenever possible, and optimize how they are being used (this means we help you use things safely and at your own comfort level)
Make IBCLC© care accessible to everyone who needs it
Offer science-based information in a positive and encouraging way
Abide by the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes (the WHO Code, an important agreement protecting families from unethical marketing practices)
Make referrals when needed to other health care providers who understand the principles of human lactation and provide care that supports breastfeeding and human milk feeding
We work to ensure everyone who attends Baby Café in person or online are able to feel welcomed, comfortable, and supported in their feeding plan.
Our staff are highly-trained and firmly committed to helping you optimize your breastfeeding journey.
We are funded by in-kind donations from the community, and we accept donations year-round.
