<<The FDA also neglected to mention that the amount of chlorphenesin and
phenoxyethanol in the product is minute relative to what is considered
allowable for adults. Both chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol are approved
cosmetic preservatives and used extensively in many products.>>

This statement, Christine? How odd to equate a chemical usually used
topically with adults: chlorphenesin - a muscle relaxant and phenoxyethanol
- preservative frequently used in vaccinations with a "safe product" for use
in babies?

<<I don't know if the company makes leak stoppers, but they do make the
brand of gripe water that I see in lots of stores.  The company's response
is a bit scary, too.

I'm not sure why a company that makes gripe water (meaning does not support
exclusive breastfeeding) would be trusted to make a nipple cream, either.
