A Mother’s Day message from Mary
May 2026
Today I am remembering and reflecting upon the mother-figures in my life and the ways in which they impacted and influenced my own motherhood journey throughout the years, both in person and genetically. No matter where we might be on this path ..just beginning or well along the way.. our mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers , and other strong and nurturing women in our lives .. both past and present.. have helped us develop our own mothering skills.
I would like to offer a simple message of affirmation and validation to our newest and most vulnerable mothers. There will never be a time in your life when you will
have more unsolicited advice coming your way than when you are pregnant and/or a new mother. On top of that . the constant barrage of information on the internet, social media, mom groups, etc … sometimes helpful but often confusing and contradictory..adds to the uncertainty and concern that most new mothers experience.
I would suggest that you keep your eyes on your baby, your phone out of sight and sound , and your full attention on caring for yourself and learning to know your baby. Before you know it you will be able to trust your intuitive maternal heart…. The greatest gift you can give your child now, and for the rest of his or her life.

Happy Mothers’s Day to our dedicated Baby Cafe staff and all the mothers and babies we have been helping for 12 years . Love and blessings to all.

Mary K Stanley, RN,IBCLC..

Kern County families face real barriers to breastfeeding care — cost, transportation, and a healthcare system that often sends new parents home without enough help.

Baby Café Bakersfield exists to close that gap.

Every week, we offer free, drop-in breastfeeding help led by IBCLCs — International Board Certified Lactation Consultants — for any family in Kern County who needs it. No referral. No insurance. No cost.

We educate and care for mothers from pregnancy through weaning.

This GiveBigKern, we're asking you to invest in that model.

Here's what your support makes possible:

✔ Families who can't afford private lactation care get the same expert guidance
✔ New parents who are struggling with breastfeeding have somewhere to go, someone to call, someone to text and get real, personalized breastfeeding help
✔ Kern County's breastfeeding rates improve, with lasting benefits for infant and maternal health

New mothers can't get this kind of help with online searches or by using AI chatbots.

GiveBigKern is Tuesday, May 5. Every dollar raised keeps Baby Café Bakersfield free, open, and staffed.

Because no family in Kern County should go without breastfeeding support. No baby in Kern County should go without human milk. No mother in Kern County should feel like there's no breastfeeding help in our community.

With gratitude,
Christine Staricka, IBCLC
Director, Baby Café Bakersfield
