Now there’s a new choice for nursing moms: Naked Nursing Tank. It’s an open-busted, long-waisted camisole that allows a mother to feed her baby easily without worrying about exposing too much skin. The tank is also fashionable and attractive, so there are no worries about clumsy nursing gowns or smocks. Two Guelph Ontario moms –– Carrie and Jen –– are the inventors behind this great product. As nursing mothers, the friends both experienced the challenge of keeping their midriff areas covered while feeding their babies. So they devised a tank top that wouldn’t ride up to show the midriff, an area of self-consciousness for many new mothers.

Bike riding forms a cornerstone in the memory, not only as a fun way to break free, but also as a rite of passage. Companies that capitalize on that desire understand that they are delivering more than just a bike or accessory; they are fulfilling part of a customer’s dream. KaZAM brings extra sturdy bikes to kids, while Yedoo keeps everyone in the family on wheels with their bikes and scooters. Nite Ize and Bike Brightz help kids kick it up a notch with decorative lights that illuminate the path to warm memories.

While kids have worn jewelry for centuries, there wasn’t always a large selection of jewelry made specifically for children. Nowadays, things have changed. The children’s jewelry market is expanding every day, and the offerings go way beyond plastic bracelets and candy necklaces. Kids have access to a wide variety of pretty, stylish, and classy jewelry pieces that are made to last them throughout their lives, and a few companies are leading the way with stand-out products. Bfly is a Canada-based jeweler that specializes in earrings, necklaces, and other jewelry designs for babies and children.

For a brand new look from a brand new company that just began to shine its light on the world of kids, we take a look at Nandy & Molly. Richa hails from Delhi, India; Nandy is her daughter and the inspiration for her work. Molly is originally from Charleston, SC; she moved to New York City and did a design internship with Oscar de la Renta. Richa and Molly met in New York and decided to merge their unique talents. As a team, the looks they create have that “wow” factor. They have combined their design and business strengths to come up with a winning line that retailers will be delighted to display.
