The Nuzzi: Providing Breastfeeding Mothers an Extra Hand
An unwelcome reality sets in for many new mothers when a newborn doesn’t instinctively know how to latch. VCU Health nurses Kristie Bonovitch, Lisa Rettig and Sharon Brinkley, along with Gauri Gulati, M.D., assistant professor of pediatrics, have guided their patients through this difficult learning process almost daily for about 20 years.
At Nuzzi, we know the power of a good latch, a full heart, and a little bit of press. Whether we’re being highlighted for innovation, comfort, or just making moms' lives easier, these stories share how The Nuzzi is supporting moms one feed at a time.
