History
 Unique
Baby Boutique is a new business, founded in 2002. It began as a dream
for our founder, Kim Pekin. A breastfeeding advocate and mother of six,
she is a person committed to attachment parenting and breastfeeding.
She found the mainstream baby stores did not meet her needs and the
needs of other attachment parents. Further, she found these store's
"detachment parenting products" to be very disheartening. The idea for
Unique Baby Boutique came to her one day when she thought, "these
products are so wonderful; wouldn't it be great if THIS were the
mainstream?" Thus began her quest to find a way to make attachment
parenting/breastfeeding/natural childbirth products available to more
people.
In
addition to bringing attachment parenting products to more people, Kim
wanted to help stay-at-home mothers by developing a career opportunity
that would enable them to continue to care for their children while
earning a substantial income. Home parties and network marketing were
the concepts that brought it all together and created Unique Baby
Boutique. We hope that over the years, Unique Baby Boutique will grow
into a successful alternative to mainstream baby store shopping.
Our
Mission and Philosophy
 We
believe that there is no more important job than that of a parent. To
parent well, one must have the information and support necessary to
make sound parenting decisions. We support this philosophy through our
mission, by providing products that support:
- Natural Childbirth
- Breastfeeding
- Attachment Parenting
- Environmental Responsibility
- Respect for Instinctive
Wisdom
We
provide products that are generally not available in mainstream retail
stores, sharing the joy of attachment parenting with people who may not
have otherwise considered its importance, and we offer a rewarding
opportunity to those who feel promoting attachment parenting is an
important and worthwhile career.
What
Makes UBB’s Natural Family Boutique Different?
Our
products are breastfeeding friendly. You won't find images of bottles
or pacifiers used as decoration on any of our products. Whenever
possible, our products are made with either organic or natural
materials, or they provide some environmental benefit.
- We make no apologies for our
strong belief system.
- Most of our products cannot
be purchased at major retail chain stores.
- Our
parties allow parents to learn about parenting in a way that has
largely been lost in our "modern" society; parents learn from the
experiences and advice of other parents with similar values.
