About Us

My Baby News stores are locally owned. As members of the Baby News Network, we have group buying power which gives us access to the newest products and the top manufacturers.

We are dedicated to serving you with a friendly, knowledgeable sales staff. We strive to carry not only the popular well know products, but also new innovative products before they are available in the big department stores.

I think shopping should always be fun – especially for adorable things for your baby!”
