About Me

My photo
Admit it. Most nursing bras are kind of industrial-looking. At least that is what I thought when I was shopping around for a nursing bra. I also found that while breastfeeding is natural and wonderful, it is also difficult and complex and sometimes it really hurts! The best advice I could find was to use warm compresses before nursing and cold compresses afterwards. But nobody could give me any tips for how to make the whole compress thing practical or COMFORTABLE! So, my design was patented and Nizo Wear was born. I firgured while I was at it I should make them pretty as well. Nizo Wear makes nursing bras that are de both functional and pretty. Lace and rhinestones, playful prints, shapely lines, all designed to help you feel stylish and good again.

Unsafe bottle feeding

“Every 30 seconds a baby dies from unsafe bottle feeding in the third world”

I found this article interesting that hospitals in third world countries are giving formula to mothers when they leave the hospital (instead of encouraging breastfeeding, which is free) but then when the families run out, they are left trying to scrape money together to buy more. Many families have to pay 50% of their income just on formula for their new babies!? So, families turn to other, less sanitary/safe ways to feed their babies out of necessity...
