Absolutely love this store! I dont write a lot of reviews for places, but I feel obliged to because I like this place so much. I have a 6 month old and this is one of my favorite places to buy anything for him. Heres why: The staff are really helpful. The location is very central. Their selection is large, but everything there seems very thoughtfully selected - a lot of sweet, soft, well-made clothes, wooden toys, organic baby stuff, cloth diapers, baby stuff from European brands, things made out of recycled plastics, locally made baby stuff, etc. They have a sweet store cat lazing around that you can love on :) BUT my favorite thing is the prices! Okay, their prices arent CHEAP because they dont sell cheap, crappy baby stuff - rather the contrary, its all really nice and well made, and thus more on the middle/higher end of cost. But, their prices match online prices! Im serious. Almost everything they have there, Ive Googled to check the price on Amazon/Target/similar. Some of the stuff they sell cant be found online (even better!), but of the things you can find, their in-store price is within about $1 of online prices - sometimes cheaper, often the exact same. Plus you get to support an awesome local business. Whats not to like? Go here if you or a loved one is expecting or has a baby, you wont be sorry :) p.s. I know it sounds like it, but I swear I dont work here! I just really like supporting locally owned small businesses, and if youre going to buy something anyway, why not buy local and support them?

Used to be affiliated with Natural Baby Co., but changed their name to Enlightened Baby relatively recently. Also, they will be moving to the office space next door, which is a much bigger space! My wife and I learned of this place through a friend of ours. During her pregnancy we attended a free cloth diapering class here. It was very informative, and only one other couple went, so we were able to get all of our questions answered. The owner is very passionate about her job, and it shows. You can follow them on Facebook, where you can keep up to date on any sales or promotions going on. They have a great selection of diapers and accessories here. Yes, items are pricier here, but you have to remember that you are buying good quality items that will last a good while (if you take care of them), and you can definitely find some good deals here, as well. My wife and I still pop in here from time to time, now that our son is 4 months old. We recently purchased a carrier. They let us try them on, which helped a ton in deciding which one to purchase. Definitely recommend this place to others!

Oh my gosh, how I wish this place was available to me when I was pregnant! It was amazing to go into The Natural Baby Company and see everything (and more!) that I had to special order and go out of my way to search for when I had my son. They have brands like Ergo, Beco, Boon, cloth diapers, furniture, classes, etc. Whitney, the owner was the nicest when I popped in the other day to check it out! They also sell pregnancy and ovulation tests for a dollar a piece! If youve ever taken one of these, you know how awesome that is! They do a registry also, which as soon as Im pregnant with number two, well be utilizing! Austin, take advantage of this place. You dont know how lucky you are to have this all in one place! Also, they take the Go Local card...awesome.

Happened to walk by with the wife and kiddo and noticed this nice little store. Were expecting, and previously cloth diapered our first kid. So, we saw the name Natural Baby Company and said "that place has to sell cloth diapers". Guess what? They do! Very helpful staff. They were even giving a class to one lady on how to do the whole cloth diapering. I know this doesnt really factor into the equation on whether or not it was a good store, but any place that has Led Zeppelin playing Ill usually be spending my money at. Thanks Natural Baby Company!

Whitney, co owner of Enlightened Baby, is a genius when it comes to providing natural, healthy options for your childs body, mind and soul. Great selection of locally made items for your youngest family members, with an eye toward staying organic / eschewing harsh materials / ingredients in their product options. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and there is a constant array of classes going on every week. Give them a try, convenient central location with on-site parking.

Natural and simple it should be called. Myself a total stranger to the baby game was able to get in get a gift and gift card with ease. The Staff was helpful and had actual knowledge of the products they were offering. From what I see they are taking Austins children in the right direction for their first step in life :)
