Television and former Radio Oxford presenter Anne Diamond has lent her support to Headington Baby Café in Oxford - and said she would have used one when breastfeeding her children. At the second anniversary of the Baby Café on Wednesday, she congratulated mothers, volunteers and health workers for making the once-a-week drop-in centre such a success. And before she cut a special cake to mark the occasion, it was revealed that £16,000 had been secured from Oxfordshire County Council to ensure the future of the city's baby café bus. |

New and pregnant mums celebrated the official launch of a Baby Café in Felixstowe Library on 3 August 2007. Felixstowe is the first public library in the UK to have a Baby Café. So far, it is attended by up to 20 women at a time. Suffolk Primary Care Trust Children's Services health visiting cluster team and Suffolk County Council worked together to provide the Baby Café.
Councillor Graham Newman said: "Felixstowe Library is the first in the UK to have a Baby Café in a library. I think it is a great credit to the community in Felixstowe that this new initiative has been embraced so enthusiastically. I'm also proud that Suffolk County Council is leading the way in offering new services of real benefit to local people - even the very young - at such an important time in their lives, turning the library into a true centre of community activity. The Council and the local NHS are offering a great service here to new mums and their babies - why not come and see what's available?" |

Over 40 mothers and their babies attended the first birthday celebrations of Singapore's Baby Café on Monday 21st May, some of the babies even celebrating their own first birthday! The room buzzed with conversation with babies of all ages attending (12 day old Max being the youngest).
In the past year over 700 mothers have passed through the Baby Café, a fantastic response to this new initiative in Singapore. Mothers have been able to gain expert advice as well as making new friends. For some mothers it has been the difference between continuing to breast feed and giving up. This is what the baby cafe aims provide with lactation consultants giving practical advice and mothers getting peer support from new friends. |
