Did You Know? You Can Weigh Your Baby at A Mother's Haven Boutique & Educational Center!

Did you know that you can come in and weigh your baby at our boutique? We have a Medela Baby Weigh scale at our baby changing station, and everyone is welcome to use it anytime! We'll show you how to zero the scale out, and then help you read the pounds and ounces. The Baby Weigh scale also has the ability to figure out how much breastmilk your baby takes in at a feeding. So come on by the store and see how big your baby has gotten! We have a lot of moms in our Mothers' Gathering classes and the Breastfeeding Support Group who weigh their babies almost every week.

Can't make it to the store with your baby? Want to be checking your baby's weight more often? We also rent out the Medela Baby Weigh scale for parents of preemies or other babies whose weight needs to be monitored more carefully. Give us a call to reserve your baby scale!
