Motherhood is one of the most exciting phases in a woman's life. There is love, joy, happiness, and so many more emotions that overwhelm a mum when caring for their babies. But with this also comes sleepless nights, juggling multiple roles, responsibilities, and more. Thinking about the imbalance mothers face in their lives after they have a baby, a mother came up with the thought of making something for the mothers that would aid in their daily struggles – thus, Nipper & Co was born.
