The Barrhead cafe is run by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and the National Childcare Trust.
It runs 2-4pm at Auchenback Resource Centre.
Morag McCreadie, a health visitor who supports the Govanhill group, said: “These cafes are great way of meeting other mums, get some one-to-one help with breastfeeding from professionals and have a cuppa and a chat.
“Feedback from mums suggests that one of the things they really enjoy about the cafe is having other mums to talk to about breastfeeding, bringing up children and coping with a new baby.
“It’s a great support network.”
