Baby Cafe

The Baby Café is a free, drop-​in support center for breastfeeding moms and their babies. There is the Malden location and also one in Melrose. Melrose is the first in the U.S., funded by Hallmark Health, a not-​for-​profit medical system. The Café has been shown by gathered data to increase mothers’ success meeting their goals for breastfeeding their babies. The Baby Café is a place where pregnant and breastfeeding moms can come together and receive free support from other members of the community, including IBCLCs. With set hours every week, this is a place that moms know they can go to get emotional and technical support for breastfeeding.

I have been attending Baby Café since my son was 1 week old, and have really appreciated the support and friendships I have made. I love having somewhere to go to ask questions and also to support moms who are now going through what I did when I was first starting out. I HIGHLY recommend attending if you are a new mom!
