The Breastfeeding Cafe, held in downtown Salt Lake City, is in her SEVENTH year. With a nod to World Breastfeeding Week, this year’s theme is “Breastfeeding Time Machine: Age Old Wisdom to Feed the Future” and we celebrate 10 years of the WHO/UNICEF Global Strategy for infant & young child feeding
The Breastfeeding Cafe is held during the first two weeks of August in the atrium of the Main Public Library (210 East 400 South) in the SHARE space. An online blog carnival kicks off our event, in the last two weeks of July, followed by our living Cafe in the library which will take place August 1-14. Our living Cafe coincides with World Breastfeeding Week in the US. The Cafe is open daily at 10am and Sundays 1-5. This is a place for nursing mothers to sit for a while, for community members who have questions, and a place for open conversation that celebrates breastfeeding. Daily classes include those held by dietitians, medical professionals, IBCLCs and by other professionals who seek to support and celebrate breastfeeding. All classes and events are designed to enhance the parent/child relationship . Check out events calendar & description of classes. Please join us! There is something for everyone in the family, and everyone in the community….. because breastfeeding touches us all.
I’ll be heading through the SLC area next month and think a visit may be in order! What a wonderful idea.
Thanks! The Cafe blooms one month a year, in August, in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week. We hope to welcome visitors to the area as well as local moms, dads, and others who celebrate the nursing relationship.
Look for our online blog carnival in July as we anticipate opening day!
Holly, we are updating our events calendar and will open it this weekend! You will have a quick click on the front page through the Blue Mother and Child icon to access the calendar & ongoing updates.

Thanks, great to see what is happening all over!
What a great way to support breastfeeding!
I love this event. I will be stopping by with my twenty month old nursling and my three other kids,all who nursed full time. I volunteered a few years ago with my daughter who was nine months at the time. Its such a great experience.
Thank you for all of the great comments about this year’s Cafe. . . we look forward to lots of new moms and return moms as well. If anyone would like to submit a 4×6 photo for physical display in the SHARE space, check out the “carnival and updates” page there is information in one of the posts there. ~Timbra (Cafe Chair 2011)

I am preparing to move from NE to UT summer 2014. I am a soon to be CLC, Certified Lactation Counselor & a childbirth educator soon to sit for the Lamaze test & become a LCCE. I LOVE what you are doing with the cafe! What a great thing for Breastfeeding mom’s to have a place
I was wondering if you have any thoughts on places who might be interested in hiring a CLC. I am also wondering thoughts on the most forward thinking hospital in SLC. I work for a women’s hospital in NE now that is very cutting edge. We got the honor of creating NE’s 1st hospital based childbirth class for couples wanting to try unmedicated labor & delivery. Anyway, I’m just looking to find out what the birth climate is like out there & to see what resources are available to mom’s for support after delivery. Thanks in advance for any insight.
