The Milky Way

I’ve been here twice and both times have been great! They have quality nursing bras in a variety of sizes. The owner is awesome! She helped me figure out the right fit and was so easy to talk to, I felt like I was shopping with a friend! I definitely recommend it.

This store is a great resource for new moms in the Charlotte area. Great selection of nursing bras, and they will fit you — staff/​owner is so knowledgeable and personable. Great place to go for breastpump items, etc., and they have a bunch of the typical high-​end baby stuff that I was surprised wasn’t vastly overpriced compared with Amazon. Aden and Anais blankets, for example, were the same price as on Amazon. I didn’t price-​compare much else, but it seemed reasonable for the brand/​items. The clothing is more expensive than I would purchase for my child, and if you regularly shop sales at the chain baby stores or the discount stores, you will have sticker-​shock, but the quality/​cuteness of the clothes is great and if you’re looking for gifts or want to spend more, I could see going there for that. Great selection of baby toys and items, bath stuff, basically anything you would need for the first year. No strollers or bigger items though.

First the ladies in here are amazing. I was a week postpartum and had tried to go find a nursing bra at that «large maternity store» which I left in tears because the woman was pushy and then had nothing in my size.
That is how we ended up at Milky Way. At first I was a little nervous going in thinking it was going to be another stuffy boutique. From the moment we walked in the ladies were so nice. I told them my dilemma. Right away I was taken back to fitting room and reassured they had something for my 32inch .
Not only did they have 1 they had about 5 and with color options. I felt like a woman not some crazy science experiment who should be in adult industry. All reasonably priced and better quality than you would ever find at VS.
Then came the pump pieces I needed more of and they had those in stock while everyone else in town is out in those big mega stores. What is super nice is they carry the tubing also.
They have some very cute baby items from animals, to clothes to toys and diapers.
This store is perfect for every parent and anyone who needs to buy a gift. Shop local.

We went here to get a cute baby present to add to our registered gift. They had some really cute gifts here, but wow was it pricey for some of the clothes and accessories. Very go green products for those earth-​friendly parents. We ended up walking out of here with a sort of joke gift that I’m sure was not made to be a joke gift. Anyway, probably won’t be back here anytime soon, but very cute shop!

Extremely cute shop! Very cozy and colorful!
Great variety of cloth diapers and accessories!

As a new mom, this store is great! They have some CUTE stuff, and the employees are very kind and helpful. My husband and i plan to cloth diaper our new baby, and I did a free class here one evening. It was extremely helpful, and I have gone back multiple times to ask more questions. I am sure I will continue to visit once our baby arrives!

Pregnant as a first time mom I found baby stores extremely overwhelming… especially the places with 500 different types of pacifiers on one wall. The Milky Way is a nice break from the big box stores. You’ll find the owner at the register and very willing to help you sort through the merchandise, offering advice without pressuring you for a sale. I even met her kids once – very sweet!
If you’re planning to cloth diaper this is a great place to get your supplies. You’ll find your basic prefolds & cute covers, the more sophisticated brands, as well as other products that make cloth diapering more convenient.
For the majority of moms out there: Don’t let me scare you with the cloth diaper comments if you’re the queen of Pampers… this place is really fun! You’ll find sweet and clever items that will be sure to get even more oohs and aahhhs from everyone who sees your little bundle of joy!

I have been in some crazy places, but me in a baby slash maternity store is kind of bonkers, especially since I don’t have kids and I am not buying a baby gift. Hmmmm, how did I get here? Well, we were wandering around East Blvd and we popped in this cute place.
If you ever need a baby gift, they have baby t shirts and onsies with ‘you had me at hello’ ‘I might barf’, ‘clowns to the right of me, jokers to the left’ and ‘been nowhere done nothing’. They had pacifier clip on thingies, (so little careless babies won’t loose their pacifiers and cry like little babies) that looked like candy necklaces. The ladies working were also very nice to us, even though we looked very out of place.
There are all kinds of breast feeding contraptions, bras and such for expectant moms. You boys be careful out there, so you won’t have to shop at these places.
