8 Mom Owned Maternity/Post Baby Brands We Love to Support
Moms support moms. Period. As a business owner I’ve been lucky enough to meet, connect and collaborate with so many women-owned, mom-led brands and businesses and one thing continues to ring true - we’re all here to see each other succeed and support each other where we can.
So today, I’m sharing a few brands that I have the pleasure of knowing and I want you to know too. From products I love, to stores we can’t wait to shop, to services that we all could use. Read on to see our list of mom-led brands. We invite you to share your favorites in the comments below!
For all of us wanting that Pinterest-perfect nursery but have no clue where to start, Youthful Nest is such a great way to pull it all together. The virtual interior design service focuses on baby and kids spaces - adding all the form and function to your space to make it truly yours. Cross that off your to-do list and get a little help from the experts.
Nursing friendly dresses that don’t scrimp on style. Founder and designer Magda has created a collection of affordable, flattering and functional dresses made for pregnant and breastfeeding moms that you’ll want to wear well past both of those moments.
For every celebration you can imagine - Made by Ilyssa offers custom and handmade party decor (think Pinterest but without having to do the work yourself!) and pop-up craft workshops for adults and kids in Chicago. Perfect for when you want to go all out for a special party or event.
A sustainable clothing line designed for all the phases of motherhood - pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond. We love the fourth trimester functionality and style of this brand. Even better, it’s built as a capsule collection and the variations on how to style each piece are truly endless. Great pieces that can make getting dressed just a little bit easier post-baby.
Looking for a hint of green or a moment of self-care for yourself? Plant Salon is a sweet little shop in Chicago’s West Town neighborhood known for its incredible mix of house plants and indie self-care brands made to help you create a moment of peace in your home. This mom of twins has created a special brand in Chicago and her online shop is filled with just as many goodies as she has in store.
Family Tree Resale
Kids clothes can be expensive - Chicago’s Family Tree Resale is truly one of the best thrift stores in the city - and now with an online site, back to school clothes shopping is going to be a whole lot more fun (and affordable). With kids bundles by size, it’s a simple, eco-friendly way to shop for you, your kiddos and your home.
Knowing what you need when your baby comes can be beyond challenging. This service offers personalized, unbiased product recommendations tailored to meet your lifestyle needs. It takes the guesswork out of registering for your baby or grabbing those items that you didn’t know you needed after the baby gets here.
When two moms both passionate about helping young children navigate a world full of feelings, a wonderful collection of books, creatures, and affirmations was born that support social and emotional learning. Slumberkins pairs a sweet and soft stuffy with a book related to important topics like self esteem, emotional courage and gratitude, among many others, to help tell a story and share a lesson that will stay with your little one for a long time.
