Northwest Mothers Milk Bank

The early days of caregiving can be a lot 😮‍💨 Whether you're a first-time parent, a seasoned caregiver, or somewhere in between — you don't have to figure it out alone. That's what Baby Lounge is for!

OUR GOAL:
Baby Lounge exists to foster community, connection, and real support for caregivers in the earliest (and often most overwhelming) months of parenthood. We believe every caregiver deserves a village, and we're here to help you find yours 💜

WHO WE WANT TO MEET:
You! New parents, seasoned caregivers, breastfeeding and bottle-feeding families, grandparents, donors, recipients — if you're caring for a baby 18 months or younger, you belong here. No judgment. No agenda. No dress code. Just come as you are.

WHAT WE DO:
Unlike a typical parent meetup, Baby Lounge gives you direct access to a certified IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) host for expert, real-time lactation support alongside genuine community connection.

EVERY WEEK YOU CAN EXPECT:
🤱 Expert lactation support from a certified IBCLC
💬 Real conversation with people who get it
👶 Baby bonding time
🍵 Snacks & drinks (yes, really)

WHEN & WHERE:
📅 Every Wednesday · 10:00am – 11:30am
📍 15875 SW 74th Avenue, Tigard, OR 97224
💜 Always free — registration optional, drop-ins always welcome!

Baby Lounge is a program of the Northwest Mothers Milk Bank — because it takes a village, and yours meets on Wednesdays.

The early days of caregiving can be a lot 😮‍💨 Whether you're a first-time parent, a seasoned caregiver, or somewhere in between — you don't have to figure it out alone. T

Motherhood looks different for everyone, and today we celebrate all of it!

To the moms-to-be counting down the days; the first-time-moms figuring it out one feeding at a time; the bereaved moms who carry their children in their hearts forever; the stepmoms who showed up and never stopped; the single dads doing it all; the grandmas, aunties, and chosen family who stepped in when it mattered most.

And to our incredible donor moms: thank you for extending your love even further, to babies and families you’ll never meet but have changed forever ✨

However you’re celebrating, whoever you’re honoring — Happy Mother’s Day 💕

Pooling milk might sound like a science experiment, but it’s actually how we make sure fragile babies get safe, steady, life-saving nutrition 🥛

When every donor’s milk joins forces, it becomes something even greater — milk that NICU babies can count on, drop after drop ✨
