Take a breath. Women have been having babies since the beginning of time — long before two-way baby monitors with video capabilities.

If you’re yearning for a less complicated perspective, head to Greenpoint’s newest parenting outpost, Caribou Baby.

Created by a self-described urban hippie with a passion for holistic and natural products, it strives to be more than just a retail shop, offering classes on child birth and breast-feeding, tutorials on baby wearing, and unconventional mommy-and-me activities.

Or if all you need is retail therapy, enjoy a complimentary cup of tea while browsing the thoughtfully edited selection of organic baby soaps, natural pacifiers, glass bottles, wooden toys, and handmade quilts.

After just a few minutes, you’ll be breathing easy.

Caribou Baby, 272 Driggs Avenue, between Eckford and Leonard Streets, Greenpoint (347-460-2229 or cariboubaby.com).
