Expert Testimonials

Milkscreen
I've found that many of our clients actually continue breastfeeding much longer than they would have otherwise due to their ability to test their breast milk after enjoying an occasional glass of wine without fearing the effects on their baby. It’s been a valuable resource to offer our clients this peace of mind as we encourage them in breastfeeding their babies as long as possible.

Pediatricians like ourselves are often asked by our new mom patients about alcohol and breastfeeding – they're especially interested to know when it's safe to breast feed after a glass or two of wine. In the past, we've usually taken a conservative view and recommended either not drinking at all, or pumping and dumping milk for several hours after the last drink. Since each person's body uses alcohol differently, that seemed the safest approach, though we always worried that we might be depriving babies of perfectly safe and nutritious breast milk. Worse yet, we feared that some moms might stop breast feeding altogether. There's no more guesswork and a whole lot more peace of mind now that Milkscreen is available – moms have the information so they can make an informed decision about when they can breastfeed. We're delighted to recommend Milkscreen to all of our moms who breastfeed or are thinking about breastfeeding.

Shrinkx
Postpartum looseness of the pelvic joints and ligaments is real, due to the effects of the pregnancy hormone Relaxin. Applying pressure to the hips by using Shrinkx Hips while joints and ligaments are stabilizing could assist women in returning their hips to a pre-pregnancy size.

By stabilizing and returning pelvic joints to their pre-pregnancy position, Shrinkx Hips could allow women to get back to sports and physical fitness activities sooner.

Walking Wings
Walking Wings is great because it allows babies to balance naturally.

Walking Wings is a much safer way to support the baby. Children get hurt when you are holding one hand, they lose their balance and it twists their arm and shoulder. My children are older now, and my back still hurts from bending over and helping them learn to walk.

Dr. Jaime E. Ramirez (Pediatrician, Austin, TX)

Great safety feature for day care centers with multiple babies in the learning to walk phase.

Very beneficial in supporting physically challenged children and will help them with balance and coordination while learning to walk.
