I know there has been some grumbling about this store in yahoo user groups (all to do with the salespeople)- I think this place is a terrific asset. They have a variety of nursing supplies, bottles, nursing bras and slings.  Sometimes I have had a saleswoman or two that wasn’t really knowledgeable, but, as of late, that seems to have been remedied and I would highly recommend this neighborhood store. (Plus they have great maternity tees.)

This tiny store is across from NYU Methodist, so I always stop in on my way back from Birch’s doctor. I have never bought anything, but that is not to say I haven’t been tempted. They have spectacular sales and my sister and her children have been the benificiaries of one of them. (Some say they offer discount prices all year-round.)

Flying Squirrel is fun to poke around in. I can always find something in their resale area- especially a pair of shoes. The salespeople couldn’t be any friendlier. It is a great asset to Brooklyn- it is only 1 of 2 resale shops in the borough. They do sell new items and have quality ones at that.

Ola Baby

315 Court Street

718-422-1978

Baby clothes, nursing products, cribs, bedding, etc.

I just visited this store for the first time
and fell in love. They have great design products, plus very fairly (if
not some of the best) prices for toys and nursing supplies.  The clothes selection was nicely priced and, though a small section, the clothes were trendy and quality.  They also
have a comfy couch for nursing and a great table and selection of clean
toys for children to play with. The video player wasn’t there when I
was, but I understand they show a "tasteful" selection of kid’s videos.
The changing table was clean and the bathroom induldgently huge! The
staff knew their stuff and couldn’t have been friendlier.

Beautifully designed space with plenty of room for crawling babies and active toddlers (chalkboard walls, rubber mats and play toys). They have a huge changing table area accessible to men and women and a separate room available for rent.  They also host a new moms group (look for info under "Groups: Parent Groups". In general, the items are European and precious (expensive). Pomme also does haircuts on special days- an sweet addition to make the place more lively. (check under Shopping: Children’s haircuts" for details.

Brooklyn, NY (Clinton Hill)

Tuesday – Saturday 10am – 6pm
Sunday 11am – 6pm
At Still Hip shoppers will find a wide variety of children’s clothing,
gear, shoes, books, and toys, as well as great deals on maternity
clothes for mom’s to be. But aside from a commitment to provide local
parents with affordable quality items and live up to to the adage:
“waste not want not” Still Hip helps connect local families by hosting
classes in a fresh, friendly, open, and inviting atmosphere. The fall
lineup includes: Music for Aardvarks, Private Picassos art classes,
Let’s Dance Brooklyn, Sign-a-Song, Musica Para Mi, Music Together, and
RoboFun.
 

The store feels fresh and bright with richly painted chocolate and blue walls and large light-filled windows.  There are shelves and racks full of great finds of second-hand items identified with cleverly designed labels. You wouldn’t guess this is a second-hand shop. Everything feels considered and lovely. You can find shoes, hats, clothes, jackets, toys, books, crib bedding, strollers, slings, maternity and more. They have a play space where classes are held and when not thus occupied is a play space for children of shopping parents. I left Birch there while I looked around- and he couldn’t have been happier in the play space full of gleeful other toddlers banging away on drums and tapping on tambourines.

  1. Summer is drawing to a close, but it’s never too late to pick up a timeless dress! The Audrey Lacey Romance dress by Tt Collection is just lovely – it can be layered throughout colder seasons and flaunted solo all summer. Visit: http://www.ttcollection.com

  2. At Still Hip shoppers you can find maternity intimate apparel too.
    It is good idea for a present.When your wife is pregnant.
