At Waddle n Swaddle we pride ourselves in unique, eco-friendly and hard to find items. Baby gift registries are a popular way to ensure your guests understand your style, needs and personal choices for your newest addition. We offer a one on one baby registry design that will help you figure out exactly what you do and do not need. We will help you coordinate with other registries to avoid overlapping. Family and friends love coming in and choosing from the unique items on our registries. Gift wrapping is free on all purchases- which is just another great personal touch offered at Waddle n Swaddle!

Do you have out-of-towners on your invite list? Don't worry- tell them to call us and we will work with their budget to put together the perfect gift. We will wrap the gift, put in a personal card and ensure that it is picked up by the person designated by you to bring to your shower. They will save on shipping and you will get the gifts you have chosen for your baby.

How to Register

Currently all registries are made in-store, by phone or email. Come in and we will work with you to design the registry and give you announcement cards you can send to your guests. If you are out of town we can also provide this service over the phone and email. One day soon we plan to have an online registry but since our online store does not reflect the inventory in our brick and mortar, right now it is not possible.

Registry Completion

Didn't get everything you registered for? Get a one time pass for 10% off your entire order after your event. Good for 30 days upon receipt, this will enable you to get everything you need for you and your new baby.

How to Purchase off a Baby Gift Registry

To purchase an item off a gift registry from our store, please call or email us and we would be happy to help. We can work with you to design a gift within your budget. We can either mail it to you for a small shipping fee or wrap and put a card on it and have it delivered to the shower for you. If you would like to see photos we can email them to you in order to make your choice easier.

All Lactation Services are offered by Jenn Sullivan, a Certified Lactation Consultant (CLC) and owner of Waddle n Swaddle. After receiving a degree in biology from Lehigh University, Jenn continued her studies at the University of Arizona with a focus on Animal Science and Nutrition. When her daughter Sophie was born in 2004 Jenn's passion for breastfeeding began. She became a CLC in 2007 at the same time opening Waddle n Swaddle. Jenn felt it was critical to offer a community-based store that had resources and products that would support women who wanted to nurse their children.
