Announcing new VIRTUAL Baby Cafe's and Breastfeeding Groups. Please register using the links below for each group that you plan to attend. 

Are you pregnant and curious about breastfeeding?
Struggling with breast pain or your newborn's poor latch?
Happily bottle-feeding your growing baby and interested in meeting other parents? 

Come to one of our drop-in support groups around Boston! Our groups offer professional lactation counseling, fun playgroups for your young child, and support for anyone struggling with the ups and downs of parenting. Through a partnership with Cradles to Crayons, all Boston Breastfeeding Coalition groups also offer kid-packs, diapers and other essential items for families undergoing financial hardship. For additional free breastfeeding groups outside of the coalition in the Boston area, check-out our complete calendar.
