Welcome to the 12th annual Utah Breastfeeding Cafe! This year WABA’s theme for World Breastfeeding Week is “SUSTAINING BREASTFEEDING TOGETHER.” We want to see how you are involved in sustaining breastfeeding in your community and so we invite you to become involved with the Utah Breastfeeding Coalition, for this year’s Cafe celebration and for other activities throughout the year.
Utah’s 2017 Breastfeeding Cafe takes place July 31th – August 31th. Please check out our events calendar and plan to join us…..

I’ll be heading through the SLC area next month and think a visit may be in order! What a wonderful idea.

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)
Visiting from “Pay It Forward” posted by Laura @ Day by Day in Our World. I came across the Breastfeeding Cafe” last year when I was headed to the library. Very cool … keep up the good work ladies!!
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.

I would love to see this event happen more often than once a year, a great way to NORMALIZE breastfeeding is to show it more often. Expose the public to it more often, perhaps quarterly, bi-monthly, or even monthly! Please let me know if I can help in any way!
I’m trying to find out where the Gardner Village Farmer’s Market is on Saturday–isn’t there supposed to be an IBCLC there? One concern I have with the WIC-partnership, I think it’s great that Utah BF is involved, but WIC undermined my sister’s ability to nurse. They gave her formula without any questions asked or warning about introducing it, and she assumed it wouldn’t cause any problems to do both, the handouts from WIC paired with Babywise caused her baby to mysteriously (to her) wean at 2 months. I keep hearing people say how supportive WIC is of breastfeeding, and how it is doing good in our communities, but I don’t know after this…
