A baby café provides a free, drop-in support group for breastfeeding parents by reducing obstacles to lactation care, according to an explanation on the Baby Café USA website.
CCBC will operate from noon to 2 p.m. on Thursdays. Sindy Ferreira, an international board-certified lactation consultant, will lead CCBC and offer one-on-one breastfeeding support.
The Cooper Medical School of Rowan University is supporting CCBC's breastfeeding initiative.
