Terrible

At the Upper Breast side, they fsee a first time mom walk in and dollar signs light up. They prey upon your vulnerability and desire to do the right thing for your baby and insist you need a bunch of gear you don't actually need. they are also rude, pushy, judgmental and not helpful in the least. It is the worst shopping experience I've ever had.

Upper Breast Side Review

I found the Upper Breast Side to definitely be pricey, but I did find some nice nursing bras there. I appreciated the fact that they actually fit you for your bra, something that I always seem to overlook when I'm just out shopping by myself! They gave me some helpful hints, like use Soothies gel pads in the beginning to soothe the pain of nursing. The first few weeks, Soothies were my friend, and I hadn't heard about them until stopping in there. They definitely know how to do the up-sell, so just be prepared when you go.

I had heard that the service was terrible at the Upper Breast Side, but I had a great experience. Knowledgable staff helped fit me for nursing bras, and after my baby was born, they delivered more items that I did not purchase beforehand. The free delivery was terrific for a new mom -- one less errand to run!

Felina and this shop saved me and my baby!

I completely disagree with your negative review of the Upper Breast Side. I think we are so lucky to have a place that stocks the kind of items that we can't get elsewhere. They provide a service that Buy Buy Baby and other BABY stores simply can't. They care for us as new moms (and then the babies benefit). It feels more intimate than going to a super store. Maybe that's not for everyone. But I feel like I'm going to their home, not a store. I have gone in very emotional before, I'm sure I'm not the only new mom who has cried over breastfeeding. They have given me hugs, resources, and reinforcement to keep at it. If you are among the very few moms I've met where breastfeeding is only a boob and a baby, then I'm impressed. For the rest of us, we really do need much of what they offer.
