This may not be something women talk about anywhere but in their diaries, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an issue. Some breasts are heavy, especially when breastfeeding. Inventor Cathinka Chandler has come up with the Kush Support, a clever, effective product for alleviating night-time discomfort that may come from having “tah tahs.” Kush’s anatomically contoured design fits neatly between the breasts and is made of non-slip, lightweight plastic that stays put, even when rolling over, without any straps, adhesives, underwire, or constraints, to help improve a woman’s sleep time.

With miles of aisles, filled with juvenile products, the ABC Expo was a buyer’s (and editor’s) challenge. Does anyone really see more than 1,000 products at ABC?

Looking into the trusting eyes of a baby, it’s hard to imagine anything more pure. Parents today are looking for the best, most wholesome products for their precious new addition, and that includes toys! With more and more mainstream toys being recalled for toxic paints or harmful components, many parents are turning to the basics to keep their children safe and happy. What better way do parents have to protect and stimulate their children than to consider the tactile delight of pure, organically inspired plush toys? The Giggle Guide® looks at four companies that meet these needs: Apple Park, miYim. Sigikid, and Simply Fido.

New restrictions from the CPSC passed last year with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act have caused confusion and controversy in the children’s industry. While many agree and gladly comply with stricter lead and testing requirements, the broad language in the legislation could put small operations in a tight spot.

Recently CPSIA has turned its attention to resellers in the children’s industry including consignment stores and garage sales.
