Given that Yummi Mummi's website hasn't yet adjusted their postal address, and judging from the…read moresign in their window, I think that it is a brand new edition to Moortown Corner. And this is certainly no bad thing, that's for sure. Although I really dislike that particular phrase, 'yummy mummy' (a bit too cutesy and edible, and almost a patronising way of complimenting women) there is nothing to dislike about the shop itself. In fairness too, the shop name is perfectly adequate to describe what you can expect within. It is a unique concept boutique, which aims to provide mothers with comfortable and fashionable attractive night wear and accessories. Inside you will find all kinds of delightful items, from jewellery to handbags to clothing to accessories, in a beautifully thought out and specially design collection. It's clear from their designs, and from their website, that a lot of passion, creativity and tireless work has gone into making their boutique what it is! Not everything there is to my taste, but these things are always 'each to their own', and I can't actually flaw the product within. From hand made leather brooches, to cute floral reusable PVC bags, to fabric cupcake pin cushions - everything is quirky and delightful! Just reading their ethos on the website is enough to make you fall in love with their work. It seems their aim is to try to change the attitude that once women become mothers they cease to exist sexually, aesthetically and in terms of femininity - a very flawed and painful attitude that continues to rob mothers of their confidence and self worth today. For that alone these guys deserve one hundred stars! They also do yearly charity work, which for an indie shop is truly great (as we all know how indie shops must struggle themselves!) and they even have some great quotes from strong women on their site. All in all, this is a business that will grow and grow, and I look forward to watching this space!

On one of these occasions I decided to venture into Yummi Mummi in the hope of finding something sweet, special and not to expensive to give to a friend. I could have spent hours looking at the nick knacks, cushions, decorations, bags and cuddly toys on offer. There is a huge range for such a small place and it's the perfect place to buy a gifts.

1B Valley Road, Bradford…read more BD1 4RB 01274 513050 This is a very large open clean store down forster square. It is always fully stocked with anything and everything you could need for the coming birth of your baby to the early years of their lives to toddler. You can get your baby naming books/cots/pushchairs/clothes/nappies, etc here and a good range of maternity clothes too. They have recently opened an early learning centre inside this store too so that is a plus now too. They have baby changing and feeding facilities and a nice seating area to the side for you and their toilets while not on the cleanest side are the only ones down forster square. The staff are nice and friendly but there doesnt seem to be enough to go round but the ones there are do their best while being rushed off their feet. Also if you buy a car seat from them they will go to your car and fit it for you which is good.

There's also a great range of baby clothes, again these are quite pricey - for everyday babywear perhaps a bit too pricey, but the baby clothes would make lovely gifts for new parents. There is a wide range of buggies, pushchairs and prams and theres always a member of staff on hand to show you how they work (people not familiar with modern prams, sometimes you need a degree to operate all the different functions) You can also get everything you need for babies nursery, theres a selection of furniture including cots, wardrobes, draws changing units and moses baskets. You can also get bits and bobs for slightly older children such as high chairs/potties etc

I still wear several of my maternity clothes 10 months post natal! They also stock a fabby range of maternity and nursing undies - who knew maternity underwear could be so sexy!!!!!! The range of baby clothes is just lovely - people always ask where i got Molly's clothes. a major plus is that they all wash really really well. I recommend this shop to everyone i klnow who is expecting - you will be well looked after!

Furniture, prams, soft furnishings and highchairs are widely available, with no noticeable flaws. Although I'm sure there are some items that are reduced because of this reason. We also managed to find items to match our daughter's themed room, even thought the range had been discontinued. Staff could be found in all areas of the shop, and were all very knowledgeable. They were also very helpful when we wanted to test items out or see how they worked. Mamas and Papas is well worth a look if you are starting a family, or looking for a new pram.

You can find all the things that an expectant mother may need and you can borrow a 'bump' in the changing room to give you an idea on how the clothes will look on you.

It's split over two levels, with the mezzanine area housing a pretty large collection of shoes, plus the men's bit, although when I came here looking for the waistcoats that were on the website, they'd sold out. The staff seem a little bit aloof though. I got the feeling they were looking me up and down (not in a good way) and whispering. I think maybe because it's not as busy as its counterpart in town, they're perhaps not as used to serving lots of people. Or perhaps they're all cowbags. I don't know.

Wouldn't it be funny if his gay demeanour was just a facade and he's secretly been perving all these years. No, NO, it wouldn't, I'm sorry. It would mean many women with low self-esteem were violated. Tut. Ahem. Moving swiftly on, Dotty P's as the brunette calls it has had something of an invigoration. I don't know if it was at the hands of Gok, but what was once a sea of beige and off-white which would entice my grandmother but make me seethe has become a card-carrying member of the fashionista set. Yes, there are military jackets. There are platform heels. There are nautical stripes, junk jewels and delightful scarves. And the brunette is a massive fan. In fact she got me all last year's birthday presents from Dot's, and I loved them. If you're tired of Topshop and naffed off with New Look, Dot's is a great and rather calming alternative. The clothes regularly appear in the likes of More and Look magazine as great budget options, and the sales are truly incredible. Little black leather moccasins from £20 down to a fiver? Get in. Just get in quicker than I did, they've only got size 5 left, darn it. And the maternity wear, lingerie and nightwear is pretty too. This Arndale branch is a decent size with a really great range. Dotty P's has changed for the better. Let's hope it stays this way.

Dotty P's has enjoyed a recent surge in popularity and the shop has always been busy when I've gone in - it has definitely shrugged off it's mumsy/work-wear reputation and now stocks a good variety of young fashions, formal wear, work clothes and maternity clothing. My girlfriend is always keen to pay a visit as it is one of the few high street chains to stock 'tall' sizes which extend into plus sizes without the stigma of having to visit an entirely different section of the shop. Hooray for shops with no size-ist apartheid.
