Mother & Baby Source carries everything you need for pregnancy and the first two years of parenting. This is a wonderful place to get a unique gift or pick up those harder to find mother and baby products. The store is oriented towards attachment parenting, and is a good place to find items that may be difficult to find in more mainstream infant supply stores, such as cloth diapers, slings, co-sleepers, and breastfeeding supplies.
The store is inviting and nicely laid out, with soft music to sooth children. The back room has a comfy couch, changing table stocked with diapers, and a baby scale for weight checks, and is available for baby care when not in use for classes or consultations. Also, there's a small bulletin board where you can advertise stuff like babysitting. The store owner, Lori Rumsey, is very friendly and is a kick to have a conversation with! She recognized me and learned my name after just a couple of times in there.
In addition to infant supplies, the store also offers various classes and support groups on topics such as childbirth education, new parent support, and grandparenting.
Before 2000 they were called MotherSource and they were in a house at 515 G Street, where Downtown Chiropractic is now.

"2007-01-15 22:49:35" This store is a great place to look around at. The sales people are very helpful too. One thing they could improve is their collection of nursing wear. As a matter of fact, they only carry one type of nursing top. I'd love to see more. RoseNylund
2007-03-07 11:25:55 My friends with babies rave about this store. The owner cares so much about her clients - she learns the regulars' wants, needs, and preferrences. She helped us pick out baby gifts based on what the mom and/or baby liked! —JanelleAlvstadMattson

2008-08-16 14:52:07 This store is fantastic. Lori & Ashley know most of their customers by name & their childrens names too! They provide a great play section, a clean bathroom, cool water and a changing table/couch & nursing chair! Their products are top of the line, heavily researched and chosen with TLC. This store is an asset to our downtown and we are lucky to have it. I go nowhere else for my daughters shoes & for gifts. Free giftwrap too! Thanks, Lori! —jwendt
