This is one of Toronto's premiere all you need for baby boutiques.

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.

Brands to covet that are carried at Moms to be and more: Bugaboo, Phil & Teds, Dwell, Kushies.

FAB Baby Gear

This Ottawa based baby store has opened their first Toronto location on the Danforth. Carrying everything from Monte rockers to Kidsleep toddler day and night clocks, plus a selection of strollers and car seats; FAB Baby Gear has a cool and stylish selection.

Baby on the Hip

Another everything you could need for your bundle of joy boutique, from strollers to teething, diapering, layette and toys!

This ultra chic one stop shop differentiates itself on its organic offerings. I am intrigued by the store brand hoodies, hemp wash cloths and the gogo mama light weight bunting bag.

Baby on the Hip now carries a small amount of maternity clothing now too!

Neighbourhood: Leslieville

Li'l Niblets & Baby Sprouts

Lil Niblets is 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.

Neighbourhood: Avenue Road

Polka Dots Kids

Polka Dot Kids is a bit like KolKid in that it is all about things you would want to play with if you were a kid again.

How it is different? It feels like this store's buyer has more of an eye for design. Great place to find cool things to decorate with or really unique clothing.

You can shop Polka Dot Kids along West Queen West

Admiral Road

This is a Toronto based company started by two Moms who didn't want to return to the hustle and bustle of Bay St.

They make the most adorable personalized blankets.

These blankets have been featured in many magazines and have been spotted with Hollywood babies galore!

You can purchase the Admiral Road blankets online or in specialty boutiques. admiralroad.com

While these Toronto baby and maternity stores are great places to find everything you need, it maybe hard to know exactly what you need, especially if you are a first time parent.
