I really liked that this store has so much for breastfeeding moms. Lots of slings and baby carriers to try out. They have a really cute selection of nursing over ups too (hooter hiders, bebe au lait, really cute locally made ones too). 
Lactation Clinic
Punky Doodlebugs is also home to “With Child” - Lactation Clinic and Boutique. We provide a full range of products like the Medela breast pump, and other breast pumps, and services to make “Nurturing through Nursing” for the mother who desires to breastfeed and/or provide milk for her baby when she must be away.
Reading about latch-on basics and learning to translate text and pictures into practice with your new baby at your breast will all work together more easily once your baby is with you. I encourage first-time breastfeeding mothers to get skilled and experienced help with nursing in the first few days after birth.
Lactation Consultations, by appointment, are provided by myself, Victoria Ackerman, a nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Through almost 30 years of caring for mothers and babies, I have come to appreciate the incredible efforts that mothers put forth as they come to realize what is important to them in how they nurture and nourish their babies. Whether you need help with your Medela breast pump or any other type of breast pumps, we can help!
As a, friend, fellow-mother, maternity, labor/delivery and NICU nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I have been honored to share in the lives of thousands of women. I have paid my dues in the classrooms of nursing school, continuing education courses, lactation conferences, seminars and certification courses. But, it is in years of observing the instinctive behaviors of mothers and their babies that I have developed the skills that have allowed me to offer comprehensive help to mothers who are learning to manage breastfeeding challenges and life with a new baby.
The lactation clinic offers support and treatment for mothers experiencing breastfeeding challenges and parents are provided with consistent and evidence-based information that instill confidence in mothers to help them successfully reach their own breastfeeding goals using breast pumps or any other method.
Why have a Lactation Consultation?
A Lactation Consultation gives you a chance to get answers to your questions and get help with the physical skills of nursing your baby, pumping milk with a breast pump or whatever plan you have for nurturing your baby.
