You can find everything here from strollers to cribs, nursing bras and layette. Definitely a must visit for moms to be and a continue to visit for new moms.

As a new mom I have haunted this shop since I was three months pregnant to determine what stroller to buy, finding the perfect sling and splurging on plush changing pad covers.

Li'l Niblets & Baby Sprouts

Another great specialty Toronto baby boutique! While the layette section is packed with cute items the draw of this store is the nursery and stroller area.

There is plenty of room to test drive the numerous strollers and there are also a number of mock nurseries for your little girl or boy.

My favourite part of the whole store however is the vast assortment of lovely nursing rockers. No old lady rocking chairs here.
