Breastfeeding Bonds El Paso and Ciudad Juarez
The Baby Cafe de Ciudad Juarez in the Sede Hospital General, led by Director Dr. Juana Trejo Franco, is the first of its kind in Latin America.
Breastfeeding mothers in Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, now have a new resource for finding support and answers to important questions regarding lactation.
The Baby Café de Ciudad Juarez in the Sede Hospital General de Zona No 6 Cd. (Pronaf Center) opened its doors earlier this month. The baby café, led by Director Dr. Juana Trejo Franco, is the first of its kind in Latin America. The facility is modeled after the El Paso Baby Café® at the Gayle Greve Hunt School of Nursing.
The El Paso Baby Café® and the Baby Café de Ciudad Juarez serve the needs of women who are breastfeeding and mothers interested in breastfeeding their children. The baby cafés are free drop-in centers open three times a week.
At the baby cafés, mothers support each other and lactation professionals are always available to offer advice. The idea for the facilities is predicated on evidence that breastfed babies have a significantly lower risk of becoming obese later in life. One of the top objectives of the baby cafés is to normalize breastfeeding.Related Stories
