THE UPPER BREAST SIDE

          


NEW YORK CITY'S ORIGINAL BREASTFEEDING RESOURCE CENTER- SERVING MOMS AT OUR MILK BAR SINCE 1999.

Hospital-grade breast pump rental station.  All parts, all pieces, -our breast pump specialists are here to guide you so you spend less time figuring it out on your own.

How does this work? Nursing moms can take advantage of the only sales/rental station with a "milk bar"....where a complete consultation on proper use of breast pump is included with every rental or purchase.  Can't stop in?  We would be pleased to conduct an instructional overview for your partner, parent, nanny, personal assistant, personal chef....or whomever you've just designated your "pump-picker-upper".  This of course prevents them from excusing themselves from pump-part clean-up duty.

 WHERE, WHEN, HOW:

Where?   The Upper Breast Side is located at 135 West 70th Street, suite 1 in a very beautiful pre-war building with decorative purple/blue pillars.  At this very moment, we are disguised by a covering of scaffolding on the face of the building.  Lets just make believe that we are trying to make finding us more of an adventure than it already is.
