 Many of the essential products I recommend are available at Mothers & Company in Boylston, MA. 

We choose our products based on their quality, how well they work and reviews from parents and professionals. 

We have the largest selection of high-quality nursing bras (great for maternity, too!) in Central Massachusetts (call to reserve your free bra fitting today!). 

 

Nursing Bras
Mothers & Company carries a large selection of comfortable and supportive nursing bras.  Allow us to fit you and you'll feel more comfortable, you'll look thinner and feel confident that you'll be able to nurse your baby in style and comfort.  Some women find that nursing bras are great for pregnancy, as well.  We carry several lines from Bravado, Melinda G, Medela and others.

Medela Breastpumps and Accessories
We carry the Advanced pumps and we rent the Sympony pumps, and as breastfeeding counselors we're happy to show you how to use the pump (in the private nook within our Studio) and make your pumping experience comfortable and productive.

Kozy Kushions
While not every mother NEEDS a breastfeeding cushion, most families I talk to have either bought one or been given one that they end up finding useless for breastfeedings support.  If your hands or other pillows aren't doing the trick, consider the Kozy Kushion, a revolutionary breastfeeding cushion that is far and away the best one I have ever seen! 

Beautiful Birth Balls
These balls (anti-burst balls) are the most beautiful we've ever seen, come with a pump and base, and work well for pregnancy, labor, soothing a baby or playing with a toddler.   Choose a green ball with a cute frog on it, a blue ball with a cute puppy on it, or a pretty pink ball with a butterfly.

Slings and Baby Carriers
Slings and baby carriers like the Moby, Zolo, SlingEzee and others are the most comfortable way to carry your baby or toddler and they enable you to get things done while your child nurses, sleeps, or enjoys watching you do whatever it is you are doing.  Slings are also helpful in reducing the amount of times that babies cry, reducing colic, and helping keep parents' sanity.  Cuddling with your baby in various positions makes both of you happy!  Mothers & Company carries several brands that have been tried and truly loved by us and our clients, friends and family.  Bring your baby and try them all out before you decide...and then come back if you need help!  We're here to help even with a sling that you bought elsewhere, it's best to make an appointment for this custom sling lesson.

We're always expanding the "Shop" to better serve our clients.  Why buy something in one of those big superstores when you could have experienced moms help you with products that are tried and true...and we're happy to tell you NOT to buy something if we think it's not something that you need or it isn't right for you.  We've been there, we know...
