"We are so glad you're here and we're so glad we found you" is something we frequently hear when parents come through our doors. What started as a pump rental station in my home 24 years ago has a evolved into a full service lactation center, parenting center and mother baby boutique.

Thirty years ago, as an Obstetrical nurse at Evanston Hospital and as a new mother myself, I realized there were few resources available for new mothers in the community. In 1996 I became
an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. It became a dream of mine to open a store
where families could could go before and after their baby is born for education, classes, products and to meet other parents. New Mother New Baby has everything you need from quick access to lactation support, pumps and breastfeeding products with instruction, babycarriers, bra fittings, classes layettes, a gift registry, and unique shower gifts.

New Mother New Baby also works with Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, staffing their inpatient unit with highly qualified lactation consultants. 

Our mission at New Mother New Baby is to help each mother reach her full potential by providing a warm, comforting environment for new families along with access to fast lactation support, classes,
and time-tested quality products along with expert evidence-based information.
