Baby Gear

pEveryone loves a good party! And a baby shower is another excuse to throw a big party. Though with the economy in a downturn, there are people who are worried about having a fun shower without breaking the bank.

pThe a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://cpsc.gov/Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)/a is a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35782340/ns/health-kids_and_parenting/preparing to release a statement/a of warning for sling users. There have been some injuries and even seven deaths for infants in slings. Some of these accidents happened when there was equipment failure, like the sling broke and the baby fell out. Other concerns are the position of the baby and ensuring that the baby doesn't lay facing the wearer's body and smother in the clothing of the wearer. No specific sling manufacturer has been called out./p pWhile I believe that every parent should always consider that any product that you use has limits and risks. The CPSC notes many infant injuries and deaths every year from other products like baby cribs, strollers and toys. All infant gear should be used with a watchful eye, meaning that statement that says Adult Supervision Required means just that./p pSo don't panic over the new announcement. Slings have simply gained enough popularity that there is now a notable number of people using them. And as that number goes up, warnings for using common sense must be used./pP strongRelated:/strong/p pbr class=spacer_ //p ul li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/babyproducts/tp/tpinfantcarrier.htmInfant Carriers #38; Slings/a /li li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/babyproducts/gr/cuddlywrap.htmCuddly Wrap/a /li li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/babycarriers/gr/mobywrap.htmMoby Wrap/a /li li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/babyproducts/gr/meitai.htmMei Tai/a /li /ul p style="background:#f5f3ef;border: 1px solid #d5d0bf;clear:both;padding:.5em;"a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2010/03/09/slings-to-get-warning.htm"Slings to Get Warning/a originally appeared on a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/"About.com Pregnancy & Childbirth/a on Tuesday, March 9th, 2010 at 16:51:25./ppa href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2010/03/09/slings-to-get-warning.htm"Permalink/a | a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2010/03/09/slings-to-get-warning.htm#gB3"Comment/a | a href="http://pregnancy.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/2010/03/09/slings-to-get-warning.htm#038;zItl=Slings to Get Warning"Email this/a/p

pimg src=http://z.about.com/d/pregnancy/1/8/s/X/3/healthyeating.jpg height=150 width=100Pbr / With my most recent pregnancy, I didn't gain as much as I had with previous pregnancies. Partly because it's just the way it worked out and partially because the newer recommendations are to gain a bit less these days. You're probably wondering what is going to happen with your a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/symptoms/a/weightgain.htmpregnancy weight gain/a. Unfortunately, pregnancy is not the time to go carte blanche and eat all you want, you are still subject to adding those extra party pounds. Remember weight gain doesn't have to be the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/signssymptoms/a/25signsofpg.htmfirst sign of pregnancy/a! I did read recently that the average weight gain, in general, is one pound over the holidays, but when you're pregnant it's more of making every bite count. So while you can still enjoy yourself, just remember that moderation is the key to avoiding those extra pregnancy pounds. Pbr / In fact, in a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://www.greenjournal.org/cgi/content/short/110/4/752one study/a about pregnancy weight gain in women who are obese (BMI above 29), it is being said that not only do they not need to gain a lot of weight, but a neutral gain and even a loss may be perfectly acceptable for these patients. One of the studies talked about the benefits of weight loss in pregnancy, as far as preventing some diseases like a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/hypertensionpre/a/pihinpg.htmpregnancy induced hypertension (PIH)/a, a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/diabetes/a/gestdiabetes.htmgestational diabetes (GD)/a and it could even help lower the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/cesareansection/p/cesarean.htmc-section/a rates. Though, as with any medical study there may be flaws. So before you jump on the band wagon, make sure you read an a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://junkfoodscience.blogspot.com/2007/10/science-by-press-release.htmlalternate view/a before you leap.br / Pbr / bRelated:/b/p ul li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/a/256467.htmPregnancy #038; Exercise/a li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/nutritioninpregn/a/aa121000a.htmNutrition in Pregnancy/a li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/supportbreast/a/2006wbw.htmNutrition for Baby/a /ul pPbr / subPhoto (c) iStockPhotoP/p pSource:P/p pGestational Weight Gain and Pregnancy Outcomes in Obese Women How Much Is Enough?

It became even more complicated when we found out my son is allergic to corn and eggs. I can spend hours at the store reading labels (there is no bold lettered warning for corn, sadly, like there is for egg) and calling companies to learn more about a specific ingredient contained in their foods. I spend a lot of time thinking about and dealing with food. And still, I frequently find I need inspiration when it comes to getting a weeknight meal on the table that doesn't leave me exhausted or take too much time away from my family. pOften, I turn to food blogs. The food blogs that are my favorites (like the Kitchens, both a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://steamykitchen.com/Steamy/a and a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://smittenkitchen.com/Smitten/a) lure me with their imagery. I love the macro shots of ingredients and the stunning presentation. But, I often find that most of those recipes are better left for weekends when I have more time, energy and ambition. I still love to gaze at those blogs longingly throughout the week, however, because they inspire me to keep cooking rather than bustin' out the boxed mix. /ppMost of the food blogs that I find helpful for planning my weeknight meals are those written by other parents who keep it simple and real. a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://www.5dollardinners.com/Erin Chase at $5 Dinners/a not only cooks easy meals, but they're easy on the wallet, too. I find a food blog especially helpful when the author talks about the food she's really feeding her family, like over at a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/The Pioneer Woman Cooks/a. I like it when I can find the best of both worlds in a food blog, like the way Stephanie Gallagher doesn't hesitate to use a a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://kidscooking.about.com/b/2010/03/02/savory-pies.htmpre-made pie crust in this meat pie or quiche/a, but takes a a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://kidscooking.about.com/b/2008/03/27/crockpot-macaroni-and-cheese-recipe.htmsimple dish like mac and cheese/a and jazzes it up with some gruyere and asiago cheeses, making it palatable for toddlers and grown-ups alike. /ppSometimes I learn a little something while I'm on the hunt for recipes, like when I read the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://whatscookingblog.com/What's Cooking Blog/a. It covers so many food-related bits from improving school lunches to cooking in ways that can help save the planet. And it looks like I can add another bit of cooking inspiration to my feed reader this morning: The folks at Babble have just introduced a new food blog called a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/The Family Kitchen/a.

pAre you trying to get pregnant? Trying to figure out if you're pregnant or not can be a big deal. I know that my first sign of pregnancy is different than most people - I get horribly, can't-get-your-head-out-of-bed exhausted. This usually happens before a a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/signssymptoms/g/missedperiod.htmlate period/a even.

img src=http://z.about.com/d/pregnancy/1/8/k/Y/nathan.jpgbr /I'm sitting here today remembering my nephew, Nathan. It was actually about this time in the morning that I was getting the news that Nathan had died overnight. a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/suddeninfantdeat/a/nathan.htm It was SIDS - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome./aP Previously I had only heard of SIDS on TV in shows like Quincy or on the news. Nathan died in March 1992, it was just before the American Academy of Pediatrics published their back to sleep campaign starter in April 1992 to reduce the number of SIDS deaths. Thankfully it has worked for many parents as one of the ways to reduce the risk factors for SIDS. Do you know what the risk factors are and what you can do to help prevent SIDS in your family?P bRelated:/bPul li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/suddeninfantdeat/a/sids.htmSIDS Facts/a li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/b/a/210461.htmSIDS, Pacifiers #038; Co-Sleeping/a li a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/familybed/a/cosleeping.htmSharing Sleep/a/ulP subPhoto (c) A.
