Bad feelings about this place. I was shocked that the owner and manager were not interested in…read moregetting involved when I witnessed repeated Heroin use in their business parking lot and their outside building area being used to hide the drugs. The Heroin situation was ongoing and disturbing at all hours for a few months! Yet they did not notice?? Once informed, they did not care. Seriously? People come and go here with children! When I called them twice to alert them and discuss solutions, there was no offer of help, they wanted to wash their hands of it--they were rude and hung up. Shameful! One day recently, when officers were outside arresting druggies and trying to take care of the issue, the folks at Mama's Hip would not cooperate or even open the door to talk to the police outside when I asked for help. Needles and drugs were stashed in their bushes. Can you not show the police? Really?? Luckily, we were able to get rid of the drug element finally... but it seems that these folks want all the benefits of my trendy, artsy Highlands neighborhood without any of the responsibility. Drugs are an ugly part of our society, but if you ignore it and refuse any positive action and let others take it on as you just stand by--then, you are a part of the problem. Especially at your place of business-- that focuses on babies!?! This is wrong on so many levels. Truly. I would never take children here based on this interaction and observation. I cannot say how the services are.

Mama's Hip is a great resource for moms. They've got a small store (I've never actually bought…read moreanything there) but it seems like there's a nice selection. They also provide a lot of classes like sign language, yoga, etc for moms and babies. They're reasonably priced and pretty awesome. They host new mom groups that are totally free and provide a great way to get out of the house and meet other moms.

So many of my mom friends rave about Ashley Benz and the help she provides with breastfeeding…read more I am lucky to say that my experience breastfeeding the bebe has been relatively easygoing (save for some difficulties right at the start), but when I saw that Ashley offered a virtual class on weaning, I was excited to get to partake of her services. Her class was tonight. It was $35, and there were a handful of other moms in the class. And the info was well worth the money and time. What immediately struck me about Ashley was that she was not judgmental about how long we've been breastfeeding or why were were stopping, and she was supportive of our choices. She gave such great info on breastfeeding in general, how to gently end it, methods we may see online that aren't worth the time and other tips and tricks along the way. "Delay, distract, replace" will be in my thoughts as I transition my toddler. I would not hesitate working with Ashley for any lactation needs. She is an understanding ally that mommas definitely need.

I can't rave enough about Ashley. I would recommend anyone her way. She was super helpful and…read moreinformative, made us feel completely welcomed and didn't rush or pressure us into anything. She asked my input on my goals for breast feeding & what I would like to pursue or have as an end result, she explained what that plan looked like and makes this new Mom rest easier now that I know some tips & tricks. Will be returning! A huge thank you to Ashley!

Baby bistro & boutique is an on site baby store/gift shop located in the Norton's women and…read moreChildren's hospital in Lousiville Kentucky off Dutchmans lane. This shop that runs as its own business and entity from the hospital is located between the emergency room and labor delivery entrances. All Five of my daughters were born at this very hospital and one cool perk the hospital recently started doing (at least for my last two daughters) is they give all new mothers a free prescription for a breast pump that is redeemed at Thai on site bistro. The rest of the store features baby clothes, blankets and accessories. They have some pretty cute and different options then the on-site gift shop on the other side of the hospital wing. So you can come in here and buy some gifts too. I actually got my newest daughter a cute Paris baby blanket and small black dress when redeeming the breast pump this time around. Overall pretty cool and unique perk and shop for a hospital. All my experiences here have been top notch with the workers being extremely helpful and friendly.
