BebeauLait mom’s Breastpump Fiasco

February 15th, 2010 Filed under breastfeeding.

Bebe Au Lait blogger shares her ordeal of accidentally traveling without her much-needed electric breastpump

… For those of you who have not used a manual breast pump, it is noMedela manual breast pumpt quite the experience of an electric. The comparison in Barbie’s “The Princess and the Pauper” movie comes to mind: Princess Anneliese has her breakfast brought to her on a silver platter in bed, while her look-alike Erika must retrieve the eggs from the chicken coop for herself. On the upside, I was building strong biceps.

Britax Recall today on their Blink Strollers

February 11th, 2010 Filed under news.

Britax and CPSC recalled their folding umbrella strollers today due to the risk of a child’s fingers being injured in the folding hinges. Click here to see the Britax Recall Poster including the image  showing the manufacturing date and the hinges which are involved.

This recall is VOLUNTARY and there are NO REPORTED INJURIES to date.

Still, as a precaution, Britax is sending a remedy kit to every registered Blink stroller owner. If your stroller might not be registered, you can request your free kit at 800-683-2045 or visit www.blinkrecall.com.

from the manufacturer: While Maclaren was faced with actual cases of injury from its folding strollers, no incidents with Britax strollers have been reported worldwide.  Therefore, the decision of Britax to offer remedy kits and issue a safety advice is a completely voluntary and precautionary action Britax Blink is perfectly safe if properly used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.  It  meets and even exceeds all relevant US safety standards

from our opinion only: The flaw here is something that all umbrella strollers on the amrket share in common. See Maclaren for the leading example, then others followed right after. Britax is being especially proactive to address this now, but we can expect to see similar retrofit action from all other strollers with hinges as this issue, ummm, “unfolds”

Fully Stocked again – Little Beetle Learners

February 6th, 2010 Filed under Item In Stock, Little Beetle - Better for Babies co, cloth diapers.

After months of only having size large on hand, we are finally re-stocked with sizes small and medium in all colors.

little beetle learners

Learners are absorbent underwear for potty training. Made of certified organic cotton to work like reusable  pull-ups.  pull on and unsnap the sides to cleanly get them off.  They are made by a cloth diaper company with material to absorb the wetness without getting the clothing wet, but they don’t have a waterproof layer the way that rubber or disposable trainers do.  This makes them a lot more like “real” or “big kid” underwear, which kids feel proud about.

Tender Cargo founding mama Christine used these personally with two of her children, in the stage where they had potty-trained for daytime but still wet during naps, car rides, or overnight. At $18.95 each Learner costs similar to a pack of pull-ups, and you probably only need 2-4 Learners so that you never need to buy pull-ups again.

news on maternal mortality rates – warning – sad

February 5th, 2010 Filed under healthcare, news.

The mortality rate of California women who die from causes directly related to pregnancy has nearly tripled in the past decade, prompting doctors to worry about the dangers of obesity in expectant mothers and about medical complications of cesarean sections.

California Watch spoke with investigators who wrote the report, and they confirmed the most significant spike in pregnancy-related deaths since the 1930s. Although the number of deaths is relatively small, the rate in California is higher than in Kuwait or Bosnia.

“The issue is how rapidly this rate has worsened,” said Debra Bingham, executive director of the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative, the public-private task force investigating the problem for the state.
