Welcome to 2021. I hope that you are all well and staying safe from COVID19 exposure.

My Breastfeeding Cafe remains dormant for the time being. Our page is not very busy just now, but please message us if you have questions, or are looking forward resources.

Although The Breastfeeding Cafe is in a dormant phase for now, we may plan to re-energize in the not too distant future, once everything settles. 💕 Stay strong and love one another

The Breastfeeding Café is still on hiatus. Update will come soon :)

ANNOUNCEMENT:

It is with a heavy heart as I announce that The Breastfeeding Café is going on a hiatus until further notice.

After 5 and a half years of weekly gatherings, it is time for me to take a break and attend to some personal and professional issues and goals.

It has been an honour to be in the presence of such amazing mothers and babies as you travelled your journey into breastfeeding, made friends and built community. You shared experiences, challenges, celebrations, laughter and tears as you learned, and then helped other mothers and babies in the Café environment. Thank you from the very depths of my soul.

I thank the awesome Britt Pegan and all of her staff at Milkface on Churchill (and Bank Street) for providing nurturing space and support - welcoming us all, every week. I thank Anna Belanger for starting us off all those years ago at her Women's Massage and Wellness Centre on Bank Street.

I thank Emmanuelle Goodier and Aline Paradis for their support and breastfeeding expertise as my colleagues over the years.

I will miss you all and look forward to hearing from you and seeing you in the community over the next few months. All being well, my baby - The Breastfeeding Café - will be back in September!

warmly

Susan Martensen
