Each year, we meet with hundreds of families in the Anchorage area with respect to their cloth diapering, babywearing, nursing and natural parenting needs. And because so many folks know our thoughts and feelings about all things natural parenting from this website, they often ask us where they can find other top quality baby stores in the Anchorage area.

We realize we might not carry all the brands you love, and never ones to shy away from answering the tough questions, we are going to share the best baby stores in the Anchorage area and what their stores have to offer.  

 

Providence Women’s Boutique

Located in Providence Hospital on the main floor, the Providence Women’s Boutique specializes in lactation support and family counseling services. This baby store features baby carriers, wraps and slings like Tula and Moby, an array of nursing bras and many other nursing accessories. The Providence Women’s Boutique would be a great place to go for those hard to find nursing bra sizes or very specific baby and lactation items.

The highlight of this boutique is the services they offer. They have licensed, professional counselors available for their family counseling support and board certified lactation consultants available for any and all lactation questions or concerns.
