Nursing mothers face a host of challenges during their baby's first few months of life. One of the most inconvenient can be breast tenderness and swelling. Intimia – a chest pillow that fits women of all breast sizes – is an innovative solution to eliminate that discomfort, both before the baby arrives, and while nursing.
Sleep is at a premium for new mothers, and breast tenderness can steal precious time away from frazzled and sleep-deprived mom.
Intimia works by separating the breasts to relieve pressure, and it can be worn while breastfeeding, for convenience. Intimia can also be used post cardiac and breast surgery to relieve discomfort, as well, in addition to it being used as a beauty tool to eliminate unsightly chest wrinkles.

The Soldier's Tale is one of the most important and distinctive musical works of the 20th century, and no child should grow up without a familiarity with this music. This tale overcomes the stereotype of classical music as boring to children by retelling a timeless tale and making it approachable anew.
Maestro Classics has taken this story of hero, Devil, a journey and a reward and made it something that a child will love and a family can enjoy together.
