Mother & Baby Source

The products are great. The staff is great. I really like the store and recommend it to any new parent trying to find out what to buy for the new baby.

We stumbled upon this GEM while exploring downtown and I fell in LOVE!!! I’m the mother of a 4 month old and 3 year old and there were things for both ages! There are so many cute toys and baby gear! I wanted to buy everything! I will defiantly be going back, it would be worth the 40 minute drive! The lady that was working there was so nice and the store has amazing vibes! YOU HAVE TO GO TO THIS STORE!

Very cute store in the heart of downtown Davis. I first heard of it from someone who bought a present for my baby here. This is a little store with not many items but with a great selection of nearly everything you can imagine for babies to toddlers.
Which is great about this place is that you can use a room they have for nursing, with sofas and a rocking chair, and a digital baby scale. These services are complimentary. The lady who helped me was super helpful and kind. You never will feel pressure to buy anything, and they are always prompt to offer you tips and recommendations. There are lots of items from very known brands, and they have also a section for clearance items in the back room.
I haven’t tried yet, but they also offer classes for babies and parents on breastfeeding and other issues.
The not-​so-​good thing about this place is that it can be a little pricey, but still you can find affordable items. I’ve checked some of the prices with the online stores of the brands, and they are pretty much the same, though.
I feel they care about customers.

Mother & Baby Source is an awesome store. The lady who helped me was knowledgeable and helpful. They have a great selection and fair prices. The free gift wrapping is beautiful too!

I had a great experience during my first visit to Mother and Baby Source today! I picked out a diaper bag online but (until today) I was unable to find it in person so that I could really take a good look at it. I saw that this specialty store carries the brand I was interested in but I thought I would be lucky if they carried the model of bag let alone the specific pattern because it appears to be a small shop and diaper bag options are endless. I decided to check it out just in case. I lit up right away when I walked through the door of the shop and saw the bag and pattern I was searching for! My next thought was hopefully there isn’t a huge mark-​up from the online price. No mark-​up at all! I walked out with exactly what I wanted and some other goodies as well and you just can’t do any better than that! I’ll be coming back to support this local shop again and again. They have many other products that I’m interested in as well. I didn’t feel any sales pressure and the staff was very pleasant. Perfect experience; so glad I stopped by!

I may not be a mom but I do have many young nieces and nephew that I get things for. I don’t exactly know what infants and toddlers would need rather than toys and the people there are always super helpful (introducing me to Sophie the giraffe for teething toddlers and swim bottoms for tots that don’t need a diaper insert). The store is so cute and I just love feeling the stuff animals that they have. They’re super duper soft… makes me want one for myself (haha). They have sale items in a backroom, which is where I head for presents. It is a little expensive to me but it is a small store with quality items.
They also do wrapping for free and the paper that they use is beautiful. It was done carefully and finished off with a ribbon :]

Cute store. I love the unique variety of items this store offers but what kills it for me are the high prices! Wow! I liked the back room of sale/​clearance items. There was a lot. I was able to afford a few small items for my baby but that was about it. I would return should I be able to win the lottery.

I love this store, the people that work there and the owner. It is such a wonderful resource for me. They have everything I have needed (or didn’t know I needed) through out these first four years of motherhood. There is a bathroom (with toddler seat), breastfeeding space, changing table (with extra diapers if you forgot yours) and a corner for kids to play in with toys. They are so knowledgable here, I can’t really fully convey how much they have helped me. When my first wasn’t sleeping and I was slowly going nuts they recommended a different swaddling blanket that worked wonders. When she was getting sick over and over again with the start of daycare they recommended a snot snucker that was so amazing that I have given it as a gift at baby showers at least 10 times now. Wipes causing a rash, they have a solution. Breastfeeding issues, they have lactation consultants, supplies, and suggestions. The helped me buy my babies first shoes, they helped me learn how to use a moby, my list can keep going and going. Basically, this store is like the really knowledgable loving aunt that everyone wishes they had.

I had a great experience today at this cute shop. I needed a gift for my friend’s baby’s first birthday party. I received helpful tips and suggestions at a variety of price points. Extensive and well curated selection of baby items, and they offer complimentary gift wrap!

Every time we walk by this store my toddler wants to go in. She can play in the kid area while I shop. They have great shoes for kids and lots of other stuff for young kids, including books, toys, cribs, nursing stuff. The list is endless. They also offer classes.

I first came to Mother & Baby Source a year ago for a Baby Signs class with my infant daughter. After the class I checked out this wonderful store and I fell in love. There are so many items from brands (like Pediped, Saltwater sandals, Trumpette, Prince Lionheart, etc.) that I’ve searched for at several stores and online, now all in one independent, local store. I find the prices are comparable to large chain stores and no shipping (of course).
Any questions I’ve had were answered; suggestions were offered as well. As my daughter grows I find more items in this store that fit each new season, all with the same great customer service.
One thing I specifically look for at this store are unique gifts for special occasions. I have purchased Grandmother memory books, imaginative story starters, culturally sensitive items and baptism gifts at this store that I have not seen elsewhere. These types of items set this store apart from any other and keep me coming back.

Amazing baby store if you need to get a gift for a baby shower, or if you’re a mom needing to pick up some specific items (e.g., pump parts, etc.).
If you are shopping for others — They have a wide array of fun baby gifts and toys for toddlers. They also do a lovely job wrapping the gift all pretty for free. Definitely a plus!
If you are shopping for yourself/​baby — Love that they have such a diversity of products in one cozy little store, but it is a little on a pricier side. You’re paying for the service and convenience, which I can see as worthwhile if you can pay the bucks. The goods are pricier partially because they carry a lot of higher-​end brands and baby goods.
Lastly, Mother and Baby Source is a wonderful community resource to mothers (and their babies!). They host infant CPR classes, new mother groups, and more. There’s a lady who comes in regularly to do baby print plaques that are amazing. If you’re walking around downtown and are in a bind to find a changing table, they’ve got one you can use. They are more than just a store, but a true community resource. For that, they get the extra star from 4 to 5.

Like other moms have noted, Lori and her beautiful store saved me when we had our baby. Lori connected me with an amazing lactation consultant (who saw me in the teaching/​nursing room in the back– pretty much a second home to new moms while downtown) and she quickly solved our breastfeeding issues. Mother and Baby Source also rents hospital-​grade pumps in addition to selling a wide range of breastfeeding supplies. (None of which, by the way, I thought I’d need and all of which were life-​saving.)
This is to say nothing of the rest of the store, which is full of the most adorable toys and the most useful products for babies and toddlers. Whether I’m looking for a stuffed animal for my nephew or a pregnancy book for an expectant friend or a diapers for my own baby, Mother and Baby Source seems to have everything for those first important years of life.
Lori has clearly spent years researching the best of each product, which means instead of standing around in Target trying to decide which of twelve baby carriers you should buy, you can just go to Mother and Baby Source and know you’re getting the right one. PLUS, they’ll show you exactly how each product works while cooing at your baby and reassuring you that everything you are experiencing as a new parent is totally normal. That is something you can’t get at a big box store and why I am a customer for life.

Davis is fortunate to have such a wonderful clothing, toys, accessories, everything store for babies and young children! I’ve been a customer for eight years, starting when I found out I’d be having a granddaughter. Now I’m a regular, always finding the perfect items for my own grandchildren and the right gifts for family and friends. I encourage EVERY pregnant family to register at Mother and Baby Source! Sure, things are cheaper at Target, but at the Source we’re talking quality goods and personal service. The employees make up a basket filled with items from each registered family, so it’s super easy to choose something in your price range. When there isn’t a registry, I just walk in and tell Lori, the owner (or any of the great staff), «Need something for an active 2 year old girl around $ 15» and they walk me through the store, suggesting 4 – 5 items until I find just what I love. I am just delighted to have this incredible resource in Davis.

This is a great independent retailer. They are welcoming, knowledgeable, and always so willing to help. Even when I walk in here to just browse they are always friendly and sweet to my baby girl. They have a great back room just to breast feed or change your baby’s diapers (with extra diapers and wipes on hand), as well as a baby scale if you’re curious how your little one is growing!
Their prices may seem steep, but they are actually quite comparable to other stores and I don’t mind supporting a local business for a few extra dollars (and I am a graduate student, so I do know how to pinch a penny!) They also have an awesome once yearly sidewalk sale with AWESOME prices and products.
That’s actually what I love about this store – they really stand behind the products they stock and have done a lot of research into choosing the right items for their customers. I have never regretted buying a single thing from this store.
The only thing I wish they had was a larger diversity of cloth diapers. I am not a fan of Fuzzibunz, I really prefer BumGenius or GroVia. But that is just a wish, their store is really wonderful otherwise!
If you want to shop LOCAL at a FRIENDLY retailer, this place is it. Get your baby shower items here and not at Target, Babies R’ Us, etc.

Adorable, fun store in downtown Davis!!!
I’ve only stopped in once, upon hearing about it from my Tuesday playgroup gals and I was super impressed. The ladies that were working were so incredibly sweet and helpful! Even though Miss M and I were just there to browse, it was nice to know help was there if we needed it. :)
The shop has everything for babies, and some ridiculously cute boutique items that you wouldn’t find in other baby stores. I also saw that they offer classes for moms, babies, and moms to be. As far as prices? Fairly reasonable!
I don’t see this being a regular shop stop for M, but if I need unique baby items-I’ll be sure to check this place out!

Wow — a great baby store and overall resource for parents living in Davis. I love checking out all their products and toys, and everyone that works there is super knowledgeable and friendly. They have been a tremendous resource for breast feeding and they even have a digital scale in their back room which is invaluable when tracking baby growth! The only thing this store is missing is Bum Genius cloth diapers, but they do have Fuzzi Buns which are okay. Davis is lucky to have such a great baby store, not all towns have one of such a high caliber!

Such a Fun Store! The women are so very helpful and kind.
I LOVE their stuffed animals. They let you try out baby carriers
so you can find the one that works best for you. They are just
wonderful! Their prices are reasonable.

This is such a fun store! They have fantastic products for babies and moms (including many organic and all-​natural ones) and at reasonable prices too. I have to admit that I’m not a mom, but I work with infants and recently became an aunt so I now have an excuse to shop here.
They have everything from toys, CDs, adorable clothes and shoes for little ones to parenting books, bottles and feeding accessories for parents. My friend and I (both local Davisites) squealed when we saw the «Made in Davis» shirts — I only wish they came in my size!

We have had quite a few people at the company I work for have children lately and this is the place we always go and buy the gifts.
They have a wonderful selection and it is an independent retailer!
They also offer classes — which is very nice for families that are local to Davis!
