COMING SOON ...

Our new CHILD'S CLOTHING SWAP ROOM!!! Inspired by our successful clothing swaps, we are creating a (semi)permanent location to exchange clothes for points that you can use to pick out "new" clothes - it's that simple!

We need help to make this project a reality - let us know if you can help fold and sort clothes!

With Bloei, we have created a beautiful boutique, complete with dressing room where moms can browse and borrow maternity and breastfeeding clothes!

Babytheek members can also pick up their reserved items and return borrowed items by appointment. Our majority of our inventory is stored at our locations in Dampoort and the Brugse Poort.

And, of course, donations of quality items are always welcome.

Bloei (Bloom) - is a cosy meeting place where expectant, new and experienced parents can meet and support each other comfortably. We make the transition to parenthood, for both parents, with awareness and as gentle as possible.
