Baby Cafe finds new home on Main Street in Bennington

SVMC staff and the team at the Local & Co. celebrate the program's relaunch at the new location, July 2026

Southwestern Vermont Medical Center's popular Baby Cafe program has relaunched at The Local & Co. on Main Street in Bennington. 

The program gathers every Tuesday at The Local & Co., from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

Baby Café is hosted and organized by SVMC’s Women’s and Children’s Services (WCS). The Baby Café is a free, drop-in, informal breastfeeding support group offering ongoing professional lactation care and intervention. SVMC’s lactation specialists provide support to moms and baby weigh-ins each week. It’s also a chance to connect and socialize. Lunch is included. 

SVMC’s Baby Café started in 2024 and is licensed through Baby Café USA, a non-profit 501(c)(3) that works to reduce health disparities nationwide and help mothers realize their breastfeeding goals.
