The World Health Organization recognizes the benefits of breastfeeding in the development of babies, and recommends nursing exclusively for the first six months, then combining nursing with other foods for up to two years and beyond.
Room for 2 is a pro-breastfeeding establishment, and you can often find nursing mothers with their feet up in one of our cozy changerooms, taking a break from shopping to feed their babies. In addition to providing a comfortable place for mothers to nurse on Commercial Drive, we carry many products related to breastfeeding.
Our staff can answer all your questions about our products, whether it's how to get a great-fitting nursing bra or a recommendation for an effective breastpump.
Please use the categories at the left to jump to a specific product category, or simply scroll down to see many of our nursing products.
Please Note: As inventory is constantly changing, please call the store first to ensure that an item is in stock. If not, we can certainly order it for you. |
Books can be a great tool when learning any new skill, and breastfeeding is no exception. Our breastfeeding reference books have been carefully chosen to reflect current research and the latest knowledge to help mothers achieve successful breastfeeding for as long as they desire.
Please Note: All descriptions come directly from each individual book's publisher and were not written by Room for 2.  | | Bestfeeding
by Mary Renfrew, Chloe Fisher & Suzanne Arms
The culmination of 60-plus years of hands-on experience from three dedicated and internationally respected authors, this newly updated classic blends academic knowledge, clinical expertise, and practical skills to educate first-time and experienced mothers alike ... With its sensitive and informed advice, Bestfeeding is a supportive reminder of what women have always known: that breastfeeding is, quite simply, the best way to nourish a baby. |
 | | The Breastfeeding Book
by Martha Sears, R.N. & William Sears, M.D.
First-time mothers often lack the support and the knowledge they need... many of the available books fail to address the practical challenges that confront many women (especially women who work outside the home) when they choose to breastfeed... taking a realistic, contemporary approach, the Searses bring an age-old practice completely up to date. |
There are many reasons that a woman might want to pump her milk. She might want to have the ability to allow someone else to feed her baby, she might be going back to work full- or part-time, or she may be using the pump for medical reasons. Every pump we offer is from a trusted brand that has been designed their pumps to maximize ease and functionality. Our staff can help you choose the pump that's right for you.
Ameda-Egnell | | At Room for 2, we rent a hospital-grade electric pump.
When renting a pump, you choose between a single kit (for pumping one breast at a time) or a double kit (for pumping both at once). The first ten days of rental are pre-paid when you pick up the pump and a credit card is required when renting the pump.
The rental rates are charged on a per-day basis, and these rates are discounted if the pump is kept longer than 60 days. |
