3 Baby Stuff You Thought You didn’t Need!

There are so many new cool things for babies and children, so many new inventions and ideas! I have gathered 3 cool baby stuff you thought you didn’t need!

BibaBathBathtub in the Shower -
Bibabath offers the unique possibility to transform your shower into a full bath for the small ones. It’s bloody brilliant if you live in a small apartment and don’t have a bathtub!

Why don’t give your child the opportunity to play in the water at home? This nifty little thing suits kids up to 7 years old. Find out more at bibabath.com.

NassuPacifier Holder -
I thought this was the coolest thing when I first saw it! It’s called the Nassu Face (nassu also means pig!) and it is a pacifier/binki holder (or dryer). You can get them in 3 or 5 faces.

Now you can keep them all in one place with these simple faces. Read more here.

Billy Bob PacifiersCool Pacifiers -
All the cool babies must have cool pacifiers to put in the Nassu Faces! I bet you have already heard or seen these funny binkies on television or in magazines.

They are called Billy Bob Pacifiers and can really get people to stare at your child! The lil vampire pacifier looks really cool.

Dangerous Toys

This is a guest post written by Jenny of The So Called Me.

Dangerous ToysThere have been a massive amount of recalls on all kinds of toys lately. For example, the lead paint in several toys, including the Thomas the Tank Engine toys. I had to throw away all of my sons trains because of it. He misses them badly, but I’m afraid to buy him any more because I don’t know if the ones sitting at B&N are lead soaked or not. But he wants them. And it breaks my heart to know that I can’t buy them without worrying about his safety.

Now I have one more thing to worry about before I buy toys for him or even my niece. They’re (whether they know or not I don’t care) hiding date rape drugs in toys now. How sick can people get? And there have been instances where men have used bought them to give to women!! What the hell is going on? Why aren’t these companies being shut down, or having their products replaced with safe, untainted ones? I guess the gov’t would like to spend their money on better things like useless politics, hookers and un-necessary wars.

It’s getting bad. And I don’t know how much longer people are gonna put up with it. Eventually toy companies are going to go out of business because so many products are harmful and people just aren’t gonna bother anymore. It’s a shame really.

Reality Blog: The Shape of a Mother

The Shape of a Mother - Before and after pregnancy picturesThis site is Not Safe for Work due to some nudity. Just a little warning there. Check it out when you get home! :P

The Shape of a Mother is a blog where women “share images of our bodies during and after pregnancy so we can see what real women look like“.

I didn’t know about this site before actually. And I was surprised that the moms really wanted to share their before and after pictures. If you are considering having a baby, then you might not want to look at those pictures. Look at them afterwards and you will realize that you are not the only one!

I was really fascinated to look at the Triplet Belly post, where a mother shares time line pictures of her growing belly. And at the end the belly is really big, must have been quite heavy carrying three babies.

You can also check out the Flickr group to see some more.

What do you think about the moms sharing their before and after pictures?

Crazy baby products!

I’ve been surfing around for different baby products to give to a cousin of mine, and I stumbled on some pretty crazy stuff! I’m not sure if you all agree with me, but I sure do hope so!

Baby HelmetsThe first one was a thing called ThudGuard Baby Helmets. Apparently these helmets will protect your child’s head when she/he learns to walk. As I see it, it’s not good, unless you have a very active baby (some disorder) or if your baby was born a very fragile head.

On the website it does say that “It’s normal for young children to sustain bumps and bruises occasionally as part of exploring; the problem is this kind of fall is very common in even the safest of homes and gardens. The damage to a falling toddler’s hands and knees can be an acceptable form of pain for learning but a head injury can be traumatic for both infant and parent.”

I agree with the first part, but if your baby injures it’s head very often, the child either has to go to the doctor for a checkup or you are a bad parent that doesn’t look after your child! Sure, accidents do happen, even with the best parents! My little brother injured his head quite a lot when he was a baby, but he learned from it! They have to learn to be careful with their heads in the future! So I don’t think this is a good idea to get.

Toddler TrackerThe second product I found was the Giggle Bug Toddler Tracker. You put the Giggle Bug to your child and when it crawls or wander away you can press the button on the fob and the Giggle Bug on your child will make “kid-friendly” beep until you reset it.

My opinions about this are split. At one hand I feel that if you can’t get your lazy but up from the sofa to follow your baby, you shouldn’t have one. On the other hand it could come in handy when your kid is older, let’s say 2 or 3 years old, they can have quite much energy and run around the house to hide or something, then it could be useful. However, if you have more than one child it wouldn’t really work. I would suggest “pay attention” instead of getting this gadget!

Baby Bottom FanThe third one is quite funny actually. It’s the Baby Bottom Fan! You use this every time you change diaper on your baby, after you have cleaned the little tiny butt, you use the fan to make the butt dry (hehe) to eliminate diaper rash. I guess this tool can be useful, cause I’m sure every baby agrees with me that diaper rash isn’t very nice. Well, I guess you can either do this or just use the common ways instead!

Do you agree or disagree with me?
