Labour of love

BECOMING a mother is one of life's greatest blessings, but new mums often feel overwhelmed balancing the demands of both family and work. One particular aspect of motherhood that brings plenty of grief to new mums is feeding the baby.

As a mother of four, Yvon Bock, founder and managing director of Hegen, saw the need for a solution and decided to create a line of revolutionary baby bottles to simplify and enhance the nursing process.

"Going through the breast-feeding journey four times, I definitely understand the challenges faced by mothers when nursing. I feel passionate about designing bottles to assist not only mothers, but other helping hands in the entire feeding and bonding experience," she says.
