New-Dad-Friendly Boulder Stores

Quick 1 - 5 rating system for Boulder baby stuff stores to visit for new dads in Boulder. Based on my experiences on the day after my daughter was born (five is best):


Becoming Mothers - Five stars 
Friendly, casual, competent. Good variety of mother and baby stuff. Staff is helpful and willing to answer any question. No odd vibes whatsoever when talking nipple pads or anything feminine.

McGuckin's - Four stars
Not specificially a baby stuff store, but they will help with advice and piecing anything together. 

Ellie's Eco Home Grocery Store - Four stars
Cool staff, cool stuff.

Rocky Mountain Kids - Three and a half stars 
Lots of nice baby stuff but not everything.

Bundles - if you enjoy being ignored and condescended to, by all means.

Target - a few stars
Only place that you can find the real deal Lanisoh Lanolin in the back of the store. Very handy stuff in the first couple of days.

Pharmaca - four stars
Staff can be a bit crunchy for my taste, but they know their stuff and you can find lotions, quality nutritional supplements, and great herbal concoctions.

Wine Merchant - Five stars
Best place to find some celebratory prosecco or champagne.   :)
