Pumping and dumping, latching, proper positioning — you’re learning all the techniques, but breastfeeding is not going so swimmingly.

Stop by Yummy Mummy, a just-opened uptown boutique that focuses on everything related to breastfeeding. This full-service, one-stop-shop for new and expectant parents focuses on nursing products and resources, as well as classes on lactation-related topics taught by Certified Lactation Consultants. From nursing bras and pads to books and DVDs, the specialty store run by an UES native and mother is all about making the breastfeeding experience a little easier.

You’ve put the kibosh on frivolous shopping, but come holiday time you’ll want to have a few small prezzies on hand for the little ones in your life.

Petit Bateau just opened a home concept store that is sure to brighten up Madison Avenue. This staple of Francophiles near and far has expanded beyond soft baby basics to homey goodies the whole family can enjoy (think little toys and trinkets that appeal to more than tykes). And of course, the purveyor of classic cotton basics has a tee or two for Mom.

Make yourself at home.

1094 Madison Ave, 212-988-8885, petit-bateau.us.

You finally scored an invite to your chic city neighbor’s fab Hamptons house (or hey, maybe you have one of your own, no judgment). You’re ditching town ASAP to head East, but what to bring the hostess who has everything?

Try the new haute couture haven Bellhaus, which brings fabulousity and exclusivity to a whole new level. OK, you won’t have time to order a bespoke creation before sunset cocktails, but pick up giftable candles, fragrance, skincare or books for your happy weekend home (and tell Junior not to touch — anything).

Actually, get one of each — just in case the kid spills or (gasp) breaks something. You want to be invited back next month.

Open Mon.-Sat. 11am-8pm, Sun. 12-6pm. 328 Montauk Highway, Wainscott, 631-537-5050, bellhaus.net.

There are at least 100 reasons to buy yourself flowers - and the week’s not even over yet. Indulge in some pretty spring blooms at Grove New York, a new shop in the West Village. Beyond the roses and orchids, beauty industry vet Sarah Tallman has stocked the store with top-notch design and decor (Hermes scarf pillows, cashmere throws and scented candles). Yum.
