Persimmon Scientific has introduced the EPiBi hypoallergenic diaper liners. They wick away ammonia and urine from the baby's soft skin and protect it from rashes.
We made our products in response to lactation specialists and nursing moms' suggestion to use our EPiBi reusable nursing pad technology and modify it for the babies.
Some babies have sensitive skin, and EPiBi diaper liners work as a protective shield to keep their skin safe.
For any questions, please contact us: info@epibi.com

Breastfeeding and New IRS Ruling
New York Times article written by David Kocieniewski published 02/11/11
The Internal Revenue Service, without acknowledging the health benefits of mother and baby, allowed nursing mothers a tax break on pumps and breastfeeding accessories, such as all pump related products, milk storing products, and nursing pads.
Nursing moms will be allowed to use their flexible spending accounts for breastfeeding supplies. Nursing moms without such a pretax account will be allowed to deduct non-covered medical expenses exceeding 7.5% of their adjusted gross income.
In 2007, about 75% of mothers chose to breastfeed at birth. Rates dropped to 43% and 22% by 6 months and one year after birth. Medical benefits of breastfeeding have been established: physical, emotional, and psychological. For the mother - breastfeeding reduces Type 2 diabetes, ovarian cancer and breast cancer. Breastfeeding mothers are less prone to postpartum depression and helps with her with bonding. Breastfed babies are more attached to their mothers, feel more secure, and suffer less from medical problems, such as asthma, viral and bacterial illnesses, and childhood obesity.

New Dietary Guidelines for Healthier Americans
January, 2011 USDA Office of Communication
The United States Department of Agriculture and Health and Human Services (HHS) jointly announced 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Ameircans. The guidelines is the evidence-based nutritional guidance to reduce obesity-related chronic illnesses.
More than one-third of children and more than two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight or obese. Eating less calories and being physically more active (such as walking, cycling, skate boarding instead of driving) receive more emphasis.
Concrete suggestions will be offered, such as: Eat less of high-calorie foods, decrease portion size, fill up half of your plate with fruits and vegetables, drink skim milk or low-fat (1%) milk, avoid foods with high salt contents (read all your labels and pick the ones with lower "Sodium" content), switch to water from sugary drinks (sodas, fruit juices, specialty coffee drinks, for example).
They also made recommendations for pregnant women:
Always eat fiber-rich breakfast (whole grain cereals with fruit),
Eat more variety of fruits and vegetables (bright colored fruits and vegetables), beans and whole grains.
Reduce refined carbohydrates (white bread) and eat more of brown rice or oatmeal or whole grains.
Eat healthy snacks (fat-free yogurt with fruit, whole grain crackers, low fat cottage cheeses).
Take prenatal vitamin with iron and folic acid with food.
Avoid certain fish, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish. Canned light tuna has less mercury. Shrimp, salmon, and catfish are low in mercury.
No soft cheeses (like Brie, feta, and goat cheese - can carry bacteria harmful to your baby) and lunch meats (high salt content, sometimes undercooked).
Drink water instead of soft drinks, fruit juices; no alcohol (can damage your baby), limit caffeine.

Lead (Pb) on Women's Health
2/8/11 Health Day News for Healthier Living reports that a new study shows pregnant women may be more sensitive to low level lead toxicity than non-pregnant women. The study suggests they may be as sensitive as young children.
The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends treating pregnant women and children when blood level of lead exceeds 5 micgrogram/deciLiter (5 mcg/dL).
However, Dr. Lynn Goldman, dean of the George Washington University School of Public Health Services, finds higher blood pressure effects on women at as low as 1 mcg/dL.
Dr. Goldman also suggests lowering the workplace lead levels would be a good place to start. The Current OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) standards are at 40 mcg/dL. The study noted a blood pressure effect at as low as 2 mcg/dL.
According to Wikipedia, lead is a poisonous, soft heavy metal. Its primary toxicity on humans are on nervous system, blood cells, and on kidneys. It causes poisonous effects through ingestion (eating), drinking contaminated water, or through breathing lead fumes. It interferes with effective making of the red blood cells (RBC), which can cause anemia. Its effect on the nervous system is due to displacement of Calcium molecules (Ca++) in the nerve conduction cells, so the nerve cells become ineffective. Children are more susceptible to lead toxicity - anemia and poor brain development. Lead can cause miscarriages and elevated blood pressure in pregnant women.
