Central Valley Lactation Association

Central Valley Lactation Association CVLA brings together lactation care providers who wish to share clinical information, collaborate on projects, and provide/receive professional support.

The mission of Central Valley Lactation Association, a chapter of USLCA, is to enrich, promote, support & provide continuing education for IBCLCs, health care providers & all others working to support breastfeeding families in California's Central Valley. Membership is not limited to lactation care providers. There is an annual membership fee which provides additional benefits, but membership is n

ot required for participation. The largest project of CVLA is Baby Café Bakersfield, a licensed location of Baby Café USA, which provides free IBCLC® care and peer support in a welcoming, non-medical environment. All breastfeeding families in Kern County are welcome to attend and there is no charge.

We are an official chapter of the United States Lactation Consultant Association. Our work provides continuing education to all health providers who serve lactating clients in the Central Valley!
We comply with the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes because unregulated marketing of infant & toddler formulas and other feeding products have a negative impact on health.
We are the project manager for Baby Café Bakersfield, which offers free, high-quality lactation support to the Kern County community.
