Babyology: the science and nature of motherhood

A quiet atmosphere is one of the biggest sighs of relief for a new mother. Preparing to adapt to the world of parenting is an exciting yet scary thing for most mom's-to-be. We’ve recently spoke with Vicky Sanders, Owner/Certified Lactation Consultant of Babyology, formerly known as The Nursing Station. Vicky informed us of their goals to help mothers become more familiarized with the process of breast feeding and motherhood. It is a known fact that breastfeeding is natural form nutrition for a newborn, and possibly one of the smartest choices a mother can make for her baby. Although we were informed that breastfeeding is not always a mother’s first choice. Vicky goes on to explain that within our culture, breastfeeding is seen as one of the scarier things about becoming a mother, simply because as American women most of us have never seen anyone breastfeed. She goes on to explain that learning to breastfeed is simply that, it’s a learning process for both you and your baby. It’s not always simple but it’s never impossible when it comes to giving the baby the best nutrition.

Babyology is simply as the name states. This little shop is all about babies. Located at 1009 B Dupont Square, its soothing atmosphere is filled with information on becoming a mother for the first time, or even the third. There is always a smiling face that welcomes you as you enter. Babyology offers a variety of prenatal classes. From ‘Return to Work’ classes to Individual Prenatal Breastfeeding appointments, their staff is there for you. They even offer free weight checks for your newborn! They are here to answer any questions you may have about your baby or your breastfeeding experience, and they’re open 6 days a week for your convenience.

Within their staff there are three International Board Certified Lactation Consultants which include Vicky, Angie, and Melissa. They also have a Certified Lactation Educator, Leigh Ann. These lovely women are very passionate about helping other women and passing on helpful information that got them through motherhood. Babyology is looking to expand their store hours as well as offer more prenatal classes to the public. They are currently planning to relocate in early February, to 3934 Dutchmans Lane, between Josephs Salon and Penn Station, with hopes that this location would be a lot easier to access for customers.

Babyology offers more than just classes and moral support; they offer some of the best products for you and your baby. Babyology is a ‘One Stop Shop.’ Their nursing bras are their best sellers, but their help and honesty is worth so much more!
