Baby Cafe starts again next Tuesday July 9th!

The new and improved drop-in group is open to pregnant people and birthing people with little ones newborn to 12 months.

This group is a safe space for you to come with your feeding and postpartum challenges. Each week we will have a short discussion/teaching topic related to feeding. Both breast-feeders and formula feeders are welcome. The rest of the time will be spent socialising, connecting, and enjoy light refreshments.

The first topic will be “LATCHING FOR SUCCESS”.

Discussion topic will start at 10am each week. You may drop in anytime between 9:30 and 11:30am.

e have some exciting projects underway for breastfeeding/chestfeeding families in the South Okanagan! We are hoping to have a strong family voice in all our work and are looking for interested individuals. Here is an overview of upcoming opportunities:
1. Being filmed for a short video to promo the Baby Friendly Initiative. It would probably be a 10-30 sec clip either feeding during a pretend immunization or receiving support from a Mat nurse or Public Health Nurse. Probably the week of Feb 26. The filming would be either at the PHC or PRH and would probably take at the very most ½ an hour.

2. We are also looking for someone who might be interested in being a Patient Voices Representative on the Baby Friendly(breastfeeding) Committee for the hospital/health center. The commitment is video meeting every other month and occasional feedback re family resources and other items needing a parent perspective. (babies welcome)

3. We are doing a mapping project to sort out families pregnancy/birth/postpartum care journey with different care providers and how to improve the experience for families and coordinate care between providers. This would involve attending a meeting sometime in the next month or 2. (babies welcome)

Please let us know if you are interested!
