Dear Eli, I was born to be a nursing bra

...but my new mommy is nervous and not quite sure she's going to use me or not. She's also having an internal debate between breastfeeding and bottlefeeding which I know is keeping her up at nght.

Oh, but I can help her so! She doesn't realize her nursing life with me will be easy, comfortable and (ahem) supportive. I am made of super soft cotton and happy to breathe throughout every wear.

How can I help her understand that breastfeeding is super and that I can help her get through the toughest first few weeks?

Sincerely, All-about-breastfeeding

Dear All-about-breastfeeding,

We are so on the same page with breastfeeding...I'm a big fan. The benefits of breastfeeding have been recognized the world over: from child's growth, to antibodies, to the very basic financial savings. But, alas, not all women choose to breastfeed.

For those of our wearers who do choose (or are on the brink), the best thing we can do is provide them with comfort and ease. G-d knows, everything else is new and demanding!

Have her feel you, allow her to snap you up & down as many times as she wants, and show her that you are there to give her support throughout her sleepless nights, sore nipples, and new phase of their life. They'll probably keep you on as long as they can!

Best of luck,
Eli
