Breastfeeding Cafes
From September 2022 all cafes run weekly. Please check on Facebook or via our contact us button to ensure that a cafe is running, especially during school holidays.
Dinky Town in Oulton Broad is where we started back in 2019 and where the original Lowestoft and Waveney Breastfeeding Cafe ran from. Initially we ran from a small room but have now expanded into Enchanted Kingdom. Dinky Town is usually where IBCLC support can be found for families with complex needs. We have a large space available at Dinky Town meaning its a nice venue to bring your toddlers for a play.
Runs Thursdays 9.45am - 11.30am
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - The last Thursday of each month Dinky Town will run as our Perinatal Mental Health Drop in which is open to all families.
We launched our Beccles cafe in September 2021 and originally ran from Quaff East. While the owners have changed and we are now at Old School we remain in the same venue thanks to the support from the team at Old School.
Runs Tuesdays 9.30am-11am
St Edmunds Breasfeeding Cafe launched in October 2021 becoming our third venue to open. St Edmunds is in Southwold and opening here has bought back a breastfeeding cafe to families who have not been able to access one for several years. We run alongside a toddler group making this venue the perfect venue for families with more than one child. It is free to attend the breastfeeding cafe but donations towards toddler snacks and drinks are welcome.
Runs Wednesdays in term time.
Way Up High cafe launched November 2021 and means that we now run cafes in North and South Lowestoft. Way Up High is a not for profit social organisation which encompasses both a preloved shop and a community space.
