Healthy Roots & Breastfeeding Café
(Kim Smith, IBCLC ~ Rooted Instincts Services & Emporium)

On the 3rd Tuesday of every month, you can join Kim Smith (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant)
at her Breastfeeding Cafe located at Healthy Roots, from 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm.
Below is more information regarding the Café.
If you have any questions, or to register, please don't hesitate to email Kim at kasmith@myaccess.ca.

Below are the next upcoming Breastfeeding Café dates:
May 15th, June 19th
**Please be advised that dates may need to be changed or canceled, please contact Kim to register**

The purpose of the cafe is to offer a mini-breastfeeding consult with a Lactation Consultant and provide breastfeeding support, in a group format.

The "café" has the warmth and comfort of sisterhood, structure similar to a traditional support group with the expertise of an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

When you think café you think coffee shop but that will not provide the privacy we need, hence the space we have chosen.

The Breastfeeding Café is different than a mother-to-mother support group or a mommy group. The mother-to-mother support will come from the women in attendance and simply the nature of a group setting. However, an IBCLC is able to work with problems and issues that a new mom would not find at her local mother-to-mother or mommy group. The knowledge here goes beyond the normal path of breastfeeding. We are here for your bigger problems and challenges.

The “menu” will change from one café to the next café as moms will provide the menu but the purpose always remains the same; to support moms in need. You bring the questions; we provide the answers and hands on support.

A IBCLC is a part of your health care provider team. Generally, a visit with a private IBCLC is fee-for-service. In this setting there will be a reduced rate, ($20), however Kim is always willing to make financial accommodations for anyone who cannot afford the fee. If your needs are so complex and we are unable to provide full attention to you in this setting Kim would do some initial assessment and then recommend a private visit in your home. You will gain the benefit of attending the group to have an IBCLC put eyes and hands on you to make sure things are going well. If she cannot fulfill that in the time frame she will fill your hands with options and choice to follow up.

Depending on how many mothers are in attendance, she will make time to sit with you one on one, if time allows. There are many general issues are questions all mothers share in the first few weeks of motherhood so general information and group time is always useful. When certain subjects arise comes up with one mom our instruction will help all mothers who are gathered and listening, which is the benefit of the group vs one on one.

You bring the issues and challenges; Kim provides the wisdom and support. If no one has specific questions, she'll lead the discussion on topics appropriate to the age of the infants in attendance.

If possible Kim would like to ask attendees to please pre-register @ kasmith@myaccess.ca just to help gauge numbers. Drop-ins are still welcome.
