Angelcare / Canada / Hall 11.2 | F10

Introducing the Angelcare® Bath Dam, an innovative and practical solution for parents who want to make bath time safer and more environmentally friendly for their children. Designed for children aged 0–2, the Bath Dam installs easily in most bathtubs, creating a secure barrier that allows you to fill only a portion of the tub. Its design ensures a perfect, airtight seal on most bathtubs to limit the filling area, minimize water use, and help make bathing safer. With quick and simple installation and removal, the Bath Dam is an essential tool for parents looking to provide a safe and sustainable bathing experience for their little ones.

The First and Only Diaper Pail Designed for Washable Diapers The DiaperChamp ONE Handsfree Medium is a true game-changer: the first and only diaper pail developed specifically to support the use of washable cloth diapers.

DiaperChamp has also added its own reusable clothbag to the collection, offering a complete, sustainable system. This makes this new diaper pail the go-to choice for environmentally conscious parents. •Hands-Free for Maximum Safety: With its foot- operated mechanism, parents can keep both hands on their baby at all times— enhancing safety at the changing table. •Large Capacity: Holding up to 45-55 diapers, it reduces the need for frequent emptying and supports busy daily routines with ease. •Proven Odor Control: The patented odor-locking cylinder system, used and trusted in all DiaperChamp models, delivers effective, long-lasting odour protection. By combining professional-grade odour control, hands-free operation, and compatibility with cloth diapers, the DiaperChamp ONE Handsfree Medium offers something no other pail does: true innovation for a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future in diapering.

Lactamo / Australia / Hall 11.2 | F14

Lactamo is a world-first breastfeeding aid that combines lymphatic drainage together with temperature, movement and compression to address the key breastfeeding problems (pain, engorgement, blocked ducts, mastitis, oversupply, and low milk supply). Applied directly to the breast, Lactamo aids, promotes and facilitates breastfeeding and can be used both proactively and reactively. Breastfeeding is reported to be mums’ biggest postpartum struggle with 92% of women experiencing common problems: multiple hospital pilots have concluded that Lactamo provides “unprecedented” support and addresses a major unmet need with evidence-based innovation. Independent clinical trials have concluded Lactamo is a “valuable aid for breastfeeding”. Matched to elasticity of breast tissue, Lactamo’s design integrates decades of research and is safe, non-toxic medical silicone, washable and reusable. Supporting breastfeeding—a practice with a significantly smaller carbon footprint than formula—Lactamo promotes sustainability through its reusability, minimal packaging, and support for breastfeeding. Social impact, Lactamo fills a critical gap in breastfeeding care with true innovation.
