2 reviews for Woman's Work
A Woman's Work is an amazing store for the new mother (or mother-to-be). They stock a nice selection of maternity and nursing clothes from great brands like Glamourmom, Majamas and Japanese Weekend, but expect the prices to be on the high side for these designer offerings. Aside from the clothing, this store is a great place for beautiful diaper bags and slings.
In addition to all the offerings for mom, there is also a selection of funky children's clothes. They definitely have cute things if you are not into the standard pinks and blues that you find at other children's stores. They have a huge selection of Robeez leather shoes for your tot, and they even have a baby weighing station. I can vouch for the fact that as a new mom, and especially with your first baby, you will initially be obsessed with how much your baby weighs, how much he or she is gaining, and whether he or she is eating enough. The little scale at A Woman's Work will help you alleviate any weight-related fears without running to your pediatrician's office.
This store is definitely a place you can shop with your children. They usually have toys out that kids can touch and play with, but be respectful and put them back when you're finished. In the dressing rooms, they have bouncers and wire toys so that you can try on your new fashions while junior is happily occupied with the provided amusements.
The staff is exceptionally friendly. This is so important when you're a new mom because you feel like every question is stupid. They have heard it all before. They will help you find the right sling, showing you how to pick the right size and how to wear it. They will answer your questions about buying a nursing bra or what kind of breast pump you need. The store also offers the services of certified lactation consultants. If you're a first-time breastfeeding mom, you will have heard so much conflicting advice, it might be helpful to give them a ring on this subject. Their services range from answering your myriad questions, to selecting a breast pump, to setting up and using a pump.
There are so many things that can make motherhood so overwhelming. It's great that there are stores like A Woman's Work to help you keep your head above water.
The employees of this store are amazing. They clearly take their work very personally and are extremely knowledgeable about absolutely any subject having to do with childbirth, child care, health for mother and baby, etc. They are warm and welcoming without being overbearing in the least, and incredibly professional. On our first visit, the woman who helped my husband and myself ended up spending over an hour with us, knowing we had no intention of buying anything that day and were just curious.
