NEW BABY BOTTLE DESIGN PREVENTS COLIC
Difrax claims the design of its S-Bottles allows the baby to swallow less air and therefore have less trouble with burping, vomiting, colic, and earache. When the bottle is being used, the teat is constantly filled with liquid and a valve in the bottle’s base prevents vacuum suction. A bottle warmer is available.

ENCOURAGING BREAST SELF-EXAM
Circuelle™ Breast Ritual Crème is intended for use during twice-monthly breast self-examinations in the shower or bath. Circuelle claims that the lotion’s texture enables a woman’s fingertips to glide across her breast and underarm areas so she will notice something different, such as thickened skin, a lump, or change in the nipple. The moisturizing cream is paraben-, phthalate-, and petroleum-free, with organically derived ingredients including evening primrose oil, green tea extract, vitamins D and E, and essential oils. Circuelle also offers a Guide to Breast Self-Examination and tips to reduce the risk of breast cancer on its Web site.
