Baby Cafe

The Baby Cafe will be able to provide infant feeding support to

parents on their infant

feeding journey. There will be a breastfeeding peer supporter

and breastfeeding counsellor attending the session and

providing you with support.

Please note that we are sometimes unable to provide

refreshments, this is due to COVID and the number of

volunteers we have available on the day. But we will try our best to be able to provide this because we know how important it is to have a hot drink and cake when you have a new baby!

When attending for infant feeding support we ask that where

possible only 1 adult and baby attend the session, however

we do understand that you may need to bring older siblings

and this is absolutely fine. We have a small amount of toys available that are clean and sanitised, however we would recommend bringing your own toys along.

The following rules apply to attending the Baby Cafe:

It is important that you follow the government Coronavirus guidance in your area. Please do not attend the group or event if you feel unwell, have a high temperature or have COVID-19 symptoms or if you are testing positive for COVID 19.

To help keep everyone safe we will:

Follow public health guidance

Take steps to make sure venues are well ventilated

Only use venues with regular cleaning schedules

We ask that you:

Wash or sanitise your hands regularly. Catch any coughs or sneezes and dispose of tissues hygienically.

Be respectful and give people space. Not everyone has been vaccinated against COVID-19 and some people may feel anxious or be in a high-risk group.

Bring your own baby-change mat if possible

Always wear a face covering if legally required and consider wearing a face covering in busy or crowded spaces or if you in close contact with others. Wearing a face covering can help protect you and others.
