Welcome! Waddle n Swaddle is a community-based retail store and wellness center.

Founded in 2007 by Jenn Sullivan, a Certified Lactation Consultant, Waddle n Swaddle was conceived by her personal experiences as a new mom.

Jenn realized the need for a comprehensive approach to retail that included not only high quality products but education and great customer service. The boutique specializes in breastfeeding, postpartum, babywearing, cloth diapering, swaddling and eco-friendly gifts. Jenn wanted to create a space for families to be able to experience products with a high level of customer service in a family-friendly environment. From made in the USA maternity and nursing clothing to a wide selection of cloth diapering products, Jenn's goal is to meet the individual needs of each family.

Beginning in 2009, Jenn teamed up with Anna Holder of Centered Birth to widen and diversify the class offerings so that local families can find offerings that suit their individual needs and lifestyles.

Regarding our website, this is a new version we are working on and are in the process of replacing our original online store with something better. We're also planning to offer an Online Gift Registry and other features to help our customers. Stay Tuned for these changes and feel free to offer feedback or report problems. Thanks!

About Us

We Moved!

That's right- Waddle n Swaddle has moved to 32 Raymond Avenue (the maroon building formerly The Arlington Art Gallery). Our new space offers a designated class space and more room for retail layout, yet still has a playroom/parent social/rest area, private office space and much more. We are very excited about this move and know it will mean a lot of great changes for Waddle n Swaddle!

So come visit our new space!

Our main location on Raymond Avenue is a full service boutique. We offer free bra fittings with a large selection of high quality maternity and nursing bras designed to fit from the first trimester. We pride ourselves in the widest selection of made in the USA designer maternity to nursing clothing in the area. Come in for wardrobe design tips and assistance building with basics to create a collection that will transition from early pregnancy through the first year postpartum. We also carry a wide selection of books, natural body products for pregnancy and postpartum, pregnancy and postpartum support bands, c-section panties and salves and labor support products.

Our selection of swaddlers include lightweight for warmer temperatures, made in the USA, organic and sleep sacks. We are well known for our newborn cotton basic clothing as well as organic clothing and toys, eco-friendly teethers, books, burp clothes, locally made organic blankets, lovies and much more. Experience baby carriers with our weighted baby or your own child. Our extensive offering of baby carriers allows families to compare the options and make the best possible choice to fit their body types and needs.

New to cloth diapers? Overwhelmed by all the choices online? Come in to touch, see and feel the options in person. We offer discount packages to fit every budget and need. Use the assistance of a certified lactation consultant to help you choose the breastpump which will meet your personal needs. Our goal is to help even the most overwhelmed parents make choices that meet their needs within their budgets.


Baby Gift Registry

At Waddle n Swaddle we pride ourselves in unique, eco-friendly and hard to find items. Baby gift registries are a popular way to ensure your guests understand your style, needs and personal choices for your newest addition. We offer a one on one baby registry design that will help you figure out exactly what you do and do not need. We will help you coordinate with other registries to avoid overlapping. Family and friends love coming in and choosing from the unique items on our registries. Gift wrapping is free on all purchases- which is just another great personal touch offered at Waddle n Swaddle!

Do you have out-of-towners on your invite list? Don't worry- tell them to call us and we will work with their budget to put together the perfect gift. We will wrap the gift, put in a personal card and ensure that it is picked up by the person designated by you to bring to your shower. They will save on shipping and you will get the gifts you have chosen for your baby.

How to Register

Currently all registries are made in-store, by phone or email. Come in and we will work with you to design the registry and give you announcement cards you can send to your guests. If you are out of town we can also provide this service over the phone and email. One day soon we plan to have an online registry but since our online store does not reflect the inventory in our brick and mortar, right now it is not possible.

Registry Completion

Didn't get everything you registered for? Get a one time pass for 10% off your entire order after your event. Good for 30 days upon receipt, this will enable you to get everything you need for you and your new baby.

How to Purchase off a Baby Gift Registry

To purchase an item off a gift registry from our store, please call or email us and we would be happy to help. We can work with you to design a gift within your budget. We can either mail it to you for a small shipping fee or wrap and put a card on it and have it delivered to the shower for you. If you would like to see photos we can email them to you in order to make your choice easier.

Lactation Services

All Lactation Services are offered by Jenn Sullivan, a Certified Lactation Consultant (CLC) and owner of Waddle n Swaddle. After receiving a degree in biology from Lehigh University, Jenn continued her studies at the University of Arizona with a focus on Animal Science and Nutrition. When her daughter Sophie was born in 2004 Jenn's passion for breastfeeding began. She became a CLC in 2007 at the same time opening Waddle n Swaddle. Jenn felt it was critical to offer a community-based store that had resources and products that would support women who wanted to nurse their children.
