[Parent Dish] Action Baby Carriers - Product Recall
Monday, September 08, 2008 3:00:00 AM |
||
| Filed under: Newborns, Babies, Baby essentials, Shopping & recallsOptave Inc., of Alpena, Michigan, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling their Action Baby Carriers. The chest strap on the carriers can come loose from the shoulder straps, potentially allowing the baby to fall. Such a "feature" would seem to be counter-productive to the product's intended purpose. Luckily, there have been no injuries reported. The carriers affected by this recall were sold in various colors and patterns, and were available under the "Action Baby Carrier" brand name in retail stores across the country and on the internet in May and June of this year, for $80 to $90. If you have one of these carriers, do not use it in a position that requires the use of the chest straps. Instead, contact Optave for a free set of replacement straps. For more information, contact Optave Inc. at toll-free (866) 208-0269 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's Web site. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments | ||

[Parent Dish] Tagless tees causing skin problems
Monday, September 08, 2008 2:00:00 AM |
||
| Filed under: Newborns, Babies, Toddlers, Health & safetyKids hate tags. Heck, I hate tags. They're itchy, bothersome, and they're always sticking out. Parents everywhere have been cutting tags out of clothing for years, tired of listening to kids complaining about them. Then, some smart marketer had a great idea: Let's make clothing without tags. Peace reigned over the kingdom of children's apparel. Mostly.It seems that something sinister is going on with Carter's Fall 2007 line of tagless baby clothing. Some parents are reporting that their babies are getting rashes and sores high up on their backs from the silk-screen label. According to The Consumerist, the problem is limited to the Fall 2007 line, so unless you're child is wearing hand-me-downs, this shouldn't affect your future Carter's purchasing plans.It's not clear whether this is a problem with manufacturing or simply an allergy issue. And then there's this forum that suggests the problem isn't limited to the Carter's brand. If your child has had a reaction to a tagless tee, contact the company that made them. It sounds like Carter's, at least, is asking parents to send the clothing in and then refunding their money in the form of a voucher. Have you ever had a problem with tagless baby clothes?

[Parent Dish] Angelina Jolie suffering from post-partum depression?
Monday, September 08, 2008 1:01:00 AM |
||
| Filed under: Newborns, Just for moms, Pregnancy & birth, Health & safety, Medical conditions, Life & style, Celeb parenting, Rumors, Mommy wars, That's entertainmentI'm not at all inclined to believe any of the flotsam floating around out there about the state of Angelina Jolie's twins' health. I am inclined to believe, however, the bits about Angelina suffering from post partum depression (PPD). Ange is a mom just like the rest of us, and, like most new moms, she is probably experiencing it on some level. According to reports, Angie is in a tither over the health of twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon and is depressed. She is crying throughout the day and exhausted from sleepless nights. Well, welcome to early motherhood! Birth is a big deal, however you do it. Between the act of giving birth and all the pregnancy hormones flowing in and out of your body, crying is probably the least of it. Some women get PPD so badly they impart harm to themselves, their spouses and their children. Ange will be lucky if she gets away with just crying. Having been through a milder form of PPD myself, I can say that sometimes the crying seems as if it will never end. The sadness seems insurmountable and the lack of control overwhelming. But, hope is around the corner--women and their doctors are more aware of PPD and how to treat it. Even superwomen/supermoms like Angelina Jolie are not immune to PPD or other post-natal symptoms. Let's hope that's all it is, and that she is able to get the help and understand--and support, especially from Brad--she needs in order to get better! Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments | ||
