Goodness knows I can’t get enough of giggling babies, and this one takes the cake. Apparently, this little babe had a stuffy nose and thought the sound of his nose whistling as he fed was the funniest thing. If you turn up your volume, you can hear his adorable little whistles. And I just couldn’t help but giggle right along with him.
Happy Friday!
And a few fun quotes from the mouths of our youngsters:
“K,” 4 years old
Watching her mother pump
K: Wow, Mom, did ALL of that milk come out of one boob?!
“A,” 2 years old
MOMMY: A, please tell me that you what you’re putting in your mouth didn’t just come out of your nose.
A: No, mom, it came from mine’s eye.

Berenstain Bears Creator Dead at 88 - Jan Berenstain, creator of the beloved Berenstain Bears, passed away Friday. Her books were a significant part of my child, and some of those same books are now in my children’s library. Thank you, Jan, for a wonderful legacy.
First 4-in-1 Flu Vaccine Approved by the FDA - The FDA has now approved the first flu vaccine to protect against 4 strains of the flu, resulting in the addition of another Influenza B strain to the mix. The new spray vaccine is approved for ages 2 to 49 and is expected to improve the likelihood of protection from vaccine, particularly in young children who are affected by Influenza B more than any other population according to the FDA.
Nestle UK Removes Artificial Ingredients From Entire Confectionary Range - Nestle has officially removed all artificial preservatives, flavors and food dyes from its entire candy line in the UK. According to another article I read, they are planning to do the same in Canada and other parts of Europe, but no plans to do so in the U.S. yet.
Pediatricians Say Breastfeeding is about Public Health, Not Just Lifestyle - Last week, the AAP updated its guidelines on infant nutrition and in it recognizes breastfeeding as a public health issue based on a wealth of new data on the benefits of breastfeeding. Previously, the AAP was divided on the recommendation to exclusively breastfeed for 6 months, but now there is consensus from the entire academy. The new policy calls for exclusive breastfeeding for “about 6 months, followed by continued breastfeeding as complementary foods are introduced, with continuation of breastfeeding for 1 year or longer as mutually desired by mother and infant.”
Flu Shots for Expectant Mothers Adds to Babies’ Birth Weight
According to a recent study out of Bangladesh, pregnant women who received flu shots during their last trimester gave birth to babies almost 7 ounces heavier on average than those born to women who did not receive flu shots.
The study followed 340 women in Bangladesh, half of which were given the flu vaccine and the other half were given the pneumococcal vaccine as a control. During non-flu season, there was little difference in birth weights, but during flu season, women who received the vaccine came down with the flu less than half as often as the other women and their babies were born at healthier weights. Four other studies have shown similar results, and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation has granted the researchers additional funding to perform a larger, similar study in Nepal.
Exercise in Pregnancy Safe for Baby
A recent study finds that moderate exercise during pregnancy is safe for baby, even for women who were not regular exercisers before pregnancy. The study also found that even high intensity exercise is safe for women who were previously active before pregnancy.
In the study, 45 women between 28 and 32 weeks pregnant walked or jogged on a treadmill for 30 minutes at a moderate intensity. Those who were regularly active before pregnancy were assigned an additional 30 minutes of high intensity exercise on the treadmill. The fetuses were monitored before and after each session. While the fetal heart rate rose after the exercise, the babies’ heart rate, blood flow, and biophysical profile remained within normal range.

Are the French Really Better Parents? A Different View from Paris - Perhaps you saw the original article in the WSJ or have seen commentaries since, but the latest buzz about parenting styles since The Tiger Mom is now focused on french parenting’s superiority to American a la Pamela Druckerman and her new book, Bringing Up BéBé. I found this opinion piece to be an excellent commentary which brings Pamela’s thoughts into perspective.
Woman Fired Over Lactation, Judge Says Not Sex Discrimination - A woman was fired for asking for to pump at work, and a recent court ruling says that lactation is not pregnancy-related and thus not protected under sex discrimination law. Although Obama’s health care law requires employers to give women breaks to pump, it apparently doesn’t specifically protect them from being fired if they ask to do so - pretty much rendering the requirement ineffective.
Mom Induced Early for Dying Husband - In a heartbreaking situation, Diane Aulger scratched her plans for a natural birth and was induced two weeks early so that her dying husband could meet his unborn child. Husband, Mark, passed away just 5 days later. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Diane and her family.
Chemo Possible for Pregnant Women with Cancer
About 1 in 1,000 women will face cancer during pregnancy and the unbearable dilemma of how to proceed. I personally have a family member who went through this, so this news comes very close to home. A series of papers published last week suggest that women with cancer can be treated the same as other patients with minimal risk to the fetus. One study of 70 children who were exposed to chemo in the womb found that they developed just as well as other children based on tests on their hearts, IQs, and general health. Another study suggests that chemotherapy after the first trimester is possible with extra ultrasounds to monitor baby’s development and radiation is best done in the first two trimesters when the baby is small enough to be covered by a lead blanket. The same study also found that ending the pregnancy did not improve the chances for the mother.
Skip The Strained Peas, Let Babies Feed Themselves
Does this mean the end of my beloved Beaba Babycook? New research suggests skipping baby food purees and letting children go straight to finger foods through “baby-led weaning”. In a study of 155 children ages 20 months to 6 1/2 years, parents filled out questionnaires on their children’s feeding and weaning practices, food preferences, and height and weight. The results of the questionnaire indicate that babies who learn to feed themselves early on may develop healthier eating habits and be less likely to become overweight as self-feeding helps them to be more mindful of their appetites. The study also found that the finger-fed children preferred carbs while the spoon-fed children preferred sweets. It seems to me that there may be more factors at play, but ultimately helping children become mindful of their appetites and serving them fresh, whole foods when they are ready is key.
Tests Find Mold, Fecal Bacteria in Children’s Lunch Boxes
Ewwww. A NC State University scientist and her grad students paired up with a local news station to investigate germs where we eat. They found no evidence of harmful bacteria on the trays tested from fast food restaurants and mall food courts; however, children’s lunch boxes were a different matter. Of the 100 lunch boxes tested at a local middle school, about half tested positive for low levels of staph and about 15% showed fecal contamination most likely due to children not washing their hands properly after using the restroom. What was also surprising to me - the list of other surfaces with highest germ concentration according to other studies - i.e. gas pump handle.
Stomach vs Food
This video follows a “smart pill” into the stomach of two subjects and shows how our bodies digest (or fail to digest) processed foods - Ramen and Gatorade - as compared to their homemade counterparts. Incredibly fascinating to watch.
Best Children’s Books for February from HuffingtonPost- I’m a book lover, and there look to be some fun recommendations here.
Why Pinterest is 2012′s Hottest Website from CNN - I’m a HUGE fan. I joined Pinterest in its early stages and was hooked from the start. It’s essentially a visual online bookmarking system; however, the social aspect allows you to see and repin what others have pinned too. I can’t tell you how many fantastic ideas I’ve found using this site.

For those of you moms who have nursed your babies and are reading this, what am I forgetting? Please feel free to add what you’ve done to prepare for your babies!
1. Start applying lanolin cream to your breasts two months before your baby is scheduled to arrive
This is the #1 tip that I received, and I pass along to all new mothers who are planning to breastfeed their babies. After nursing two babies for a total of 20 months, I have never had a cracked or bleeding nipple and I’m pretty sure lanolin cream had something to do with it.
Two months may seem like a long time, but you might end up delivering early. By applying lanolin cream two months before your due date, you can rest assured that your breasts will be ‘primed and ready’ for your newborn. Twice a day (I suggest morning and evening) apply 100% lanolin cream to your nipple and surrounding areola. Make sure to use nursing pads to shield your bra and clothes from getting stained with lanolin cream. It is extremely sticky/gooey, and the pads will help acclimate your breasts to rubbing against another fabric/fiber.
And make sure to have an extra tube of lanolin cream around as you’ll apply it after every feeding once your baby is born.
2. Invest in a good nursing bra
I can’t tell you how important this is. I have bought countless nursing bras, only to find that many of them were uncomfortable and ended up collecting dust in my dresser. I suggest investing in a good nursing bra several months before your child is due, so that you can begin wearing it as soon as your breasts expand. Stay away from underwire if you can. While pregnant/nursing, my breasts are well endowed in size (wish I could say the same after breastfeeding, lol) and I have never felt that my underwire-less bra didn’t provide sufficient support. I wear this Bravado Designs’ Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra. I know it’s expensive, but it will save you a ton of money in the long run by not settling for the many cheap ones that fall apart or dig into your breasts. As you will see, this nursing bra resembles a sports bra, and it’s both very comfortable and supportive.
3. Take inventory of your pumping equipment
Make sure you have all of the parts you’ll need for your pump, including new tubing. If you have borrowed or acquired a pump from a friend, you will want to buy brand new tubing as the old tubing may have come into contact with someone else’s milk. Also, you’ll need BPA-free milk bags, or if you prefer to pump directly into bottles, you’ll need to make sure that you have the proper attachments that secures your bottles to your pumping equipment.
4. Forego the chemical-laden “stretch mark” lotions and try 100% organic coconut oil
I admit, I’ve fallen for this one in the past too. Many creams say 100% natural ingredients, but when you read through the long list of chemical-sounding names, you’ll probably realize that those lotions are anything but natural. Since skin is the largest organ on the human body, do you really want those toxins getting absorbed into your blood stream and introduced to your fragile baby ecosystem? If you’re curious, you can look up the safety of your lotion on the EWG’s cosmetics database. They’ll tell you how safe that lotion really is for your body and for your baby.
If you’re worried about stretch marks as your breasts expand, try rubbing coconut oil on them instead of creams made specifically for “reducing breast stretch marks.” You’ll save a bundle and as many other moms will attest, stretch marks are more of a product of genetics and less about how much or what type of cream you use.
5. Get mentally prepared
The first six weeks of nursing are the toughest. Trust me, you will probably question whether or not to continue every day for weeks. It takes a lot of commitment and patience to forego sleep when you are more exhausted than you’ve ever been in your life, so that you can continue nursing your baby (and get your supply going). But take it from someone who’s been there twice – it will get better! It will probably take 4-6 weeks after your baby is born to get into the rhythm of things, but once those first few weeks are over, nursing will become much easier. As your baby grows, you won’t need to continue nursing every two hours (24×7) and you’ll start getting some longer breaks between feedings (and they get longer from there, too). And remember that breastfeeding your baby is one of the best things that you can do to give your baby a healthy start in life. And you’ll save a bundle on formula to boot!
Now, if you try breastfeeding and either don’t or can’t produce milk, or can’t nurse for other reasons, please don’t subject yourself to never-ending guilt. You will need your emotional self in tact so that you can continue caring for and loving all over that baby – guilt free!
6. Find breastfeeding support
Whether it is a friend, family member, La Leche League, or a Mom’s group that can serve as a resource, it’s important to have support lined up. This is especially the case in the early days when breastfeeding is hardest and when new moms might struggle to develop proper techniques and latch. Another excellent resource for breastfeeding is kellymom.com. Also, Jasmine’s article “10 Tips for a Successful Start to Breastfeeding” provides other great tips for a successful start to breastfeeding once your baby arrives.
7. Get plenty of rest
So cliche, but no matter how difficult you’re finding sleeping now while pregnant, you haven’t experienced exhaustion until after your little one(s) arrives. Stress and exhaustion can impact your milk supply, so kick your feet up, relax and get as much shut eye as you can now. As if labor and delivery weren’t tiring enough as it is, caring for a newborn takes exhaustion to an entirely new level.
That being said, every time you look into that baby’s eyes, you’ll know the exhaustion, effort, and perseverance are worth every single second!

Walmart has issued a nationwide recall of Enfamil Premium Newborn powdered formula after a 10-day old baby boy died in Missouri, and another Missouri infant was hospitalized with the same bacterial infection.
The recalled formula comes in 12.5 oz cans with lot number ZP1K7G. It is unclear whether other retailers may have the same lot on their shelves.
The bacteria, called “Enterobacter sakazakii,” or E. sakazakii for short, occasionally appears in infant formula. No known cases of E sakazakii have been found in exclusively breastfed infants.
Health officials with the CDC and FDA are investigating samples of formula and distilled water used by the parents to prepare the formula but have not yet called for an Enfamil recall. It could be several days before the results are in, but milk-based powdered infant formulas have been implicated in prior outbreaks of this bacteria.
Mead Johnson, maker of the formula, says that the batch used by the infant’s family tested negative for the bacteria when it was produced and packaged, and they are working with health officials to identify the source of the bacteria. Meanwhile, Walmart is taking no risks and has pulled the product from shelves and is recalling purchased cans. Any customer who has purchased the recalled formula may return it to the store for a full refund or exchange for another brand. Customers may also call 1-800-BABY-123 for more information.

Welcome to “Weekly Highlights”, our weekly post that recaps important child health and safety news, research, and recalls from the previous week and other great reads we’ve come across in our internet travels.
Cell Towers Going up in School District Despite Parent Objections - Is this the beginning of a new trend? School districts in the market for new sources of revenue signing contracts with cellphone businesses to put up towers on school campuses. Is this really a good idea?
Group Urges Johnson & Johnson Boycott Over Baby Shampoo Chemicals - The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has been campaigning J&J for over 2 years now to remove two controversial chemicals from its baby shampoo formulation – Quaternium-15, a formaldehyde-releasing preservative, and 1,4-dioxane, a byproduct of a process for making chemicals more soluble and gentler on the skin. J&J already makes a safer alternative for other countries, so why the double standard for the U.S.? Time to ratchet up the pressure.
Parents Order Chicken Pox Lollipops Over the Internet – Well, “pox parties” are out, and now “pox pops” are in? Moms in a Facebook group have been found offering to send lollipops that have been infected with chicken pox by mail. Aside from being illegal, doctors say it’s not likely to work as the virus would not survive; however, other more dangerous disease germs just might. And requests were also found on the FB page for measles, mumps, or rubella. Really??
The Prevalence Puzzle: Autism Counts
Are increasing rates of autism due to increased awareness and shifting diagnoses or increasing exposure to toxins and genetic factors? This article provides an excellent summation of some of the key research addressing this question and the direction that autism research is moving.
Second Thoughts on Medicines for Babies Who Spit Up
Prescriptions for acid reflux medications are on the rise, with 11- and 16- fold increases documented in some medications. Dr. Hassall, a pediatric gastroenterologist at Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation in San Francisco, is concerned that these medications are being over-prescribed. Some studies have shown that these medications work no better than placebos in treating infants with reflux because many of these children don’t truly have reflux. In many cases, the symptoms may just be part of normal infant development. Before attempting prescription drugs, he suggests changes in maternal diet for breastfeeding mothers, namely elimination of dairy, soy, and/or wheat, or hypoallergenic formulas for bottle-fed infants.

Welcome to “Weekly Highlights”, our weekly post that recaps important child health and safety news, research, and recalls from the previous week and other great reads we’ve come across in our internet travels.
How Safe is Your Indoor Swimming Pool? - Chlorine can mix with sweat, hair products, makeup, etc. to form byproducts that may be harmful to health. Scientists are researching the long-term effects, but meanwhile, a good shower with soap before entering the pool can go a long way.
Hospitals Ditch Free Formula in Record Numbers - The number of hospitals distributing free formula samples is decreasing as the U.S. Surgeon General, medical organizations, and health advocates call for more support for breastfeeding.

A Better Way to Treat Obsessive-Compulsive Kids
A recent study highlighting the effectiveness of behavioral therapy to treat obsessive-compulsive disorders affirms earlier research and may lead to better coverage by insurance companies. Children who received medication and therapy compared with those who received only medication showed twice the improvement.
Premature Babies May Face Long-Term Health Problems
Researchers at Stanford followed over 600,000 individuals born in the 1970s into their 30s, 5% of whom were born preterm, and found that babies born premature had a higher risk of death up to age 5 that waned and then reappeared by young adulthood. The primary factor was heart defects, but respiratory and endocrine problems were also cited. The risk of mortality is still low, 1 in 1,000, but the takeaway is that individuals born preterm need to monitor their health more closely and avoid other risk factors like obesity and smoking.
Are Pediatrician’s Visits Too Short?
A third of parents surveyed in a study published in the journal Pediatrics say that their well-child visits last less than 10 minutes, and only about half of them included a developmental assessment. Another 47% reported that their visits lasted between 11 and 20 minutes, yet most parents report a high level of satisfaction with the short visits indicating that either a lot of ground is covered in a short amount of time are parents just don’t know what to expect. How do you feel about your visits?

Welcome to “Weekly Highlights”, our weekly post that recaps important child health and safety news, research, and recalls from the previous week and other great reads we’ve come across in our internet travels.
In Pittsburgh, Public Art Doubles as a Sanctuary for Breast-Feeding Moms - The “milk truck”, a converted ice cream truck complete with a 3 ft fiberglass boob on top created as part of an art exhibition, will make its rounds in Pittsburgh providing a place for women to breastfeed and pump.
Remote Controls Aren’t Toys: Lithium Batteries Prove Deadly to Kids - Kids love adult electronic devices, but unfortunately, most do not have child-resistant battery compartments. In 2010, 3,400 children swallowed lithium batteries, and the number of critical injuries has quadrupled in the past five years. One mom shares her story.
One Sperm Donor, 150 Offspring - Websites connecting donor siblings are highlighting concerns about ethics and regulation in the fertility industry. There is no limit on how many children a donor can father in the U.S., and some are finding they have 50, 70, or 100+ raising concerns over incomplete health history, spread of genetic diseases, accidental incest between donor siblings, to name a few.
Judge Blocks Florida Law Curbing Doctors’ Questions About Guns - A federal judge in Florida blocked a state law that would have prevented doctors from asking about guns in the home and discussing the risks with their patients.
BPA, Methylparaben Block Breast Cancer Drugs
In a study performed by researchers in California, BPA and methylparaben not only caused noncancerous breast cancer cells to start behaving like cancer cells, but they also interfered with the treatment. When tamoxifen, a drug designed to prevent or treat cancer, was introduced to cells exposed to the two chemicals, they continued to grow.
IUDs Lower Cervical Cancer Risk
For reasons that aren’t fully understood, IUDs have been associated with a lower risk of cervical cancer. In a study funded by the WHO and several other government and philanthropic organizations, an analysis of data from 20,000 women from around the world found that women who use IUDs are roughly half as likely to develop cervical cancer as women who have never used one. An editorial accompanying the study notes, however, that HPV testing and Pap smears already reduce risk by 80 to 90%.
Antidepressants Associated with Autism
Mothers who took selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) – the most commonly prescribed antidepressants – during the year before delivery or during the first trimester of pregnancy were at increased risk to have a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The risk of autism doubled in those whose mothers took SSRIs during the year before pregnancy and quadrupled for those who took them during the first trimester of pregnancy. This study provides the first look at the relationship between SSRI use and autism risk.
More Accidental Drug Poisonings in Children
The growing use of prescription drugs by adults has led to more accidental drug poisonings in children. A review of national poison control data on children under 5 who visited the ER between 2001 and 2008 for accidental drug poisoning found that the number of poisonings increased 22 percent over the time period. The authors of the study said the best solution would be to design new packages for both adult and pediatric drugs that would not only be difficult to open but also make it more difficult for a young child to ingest large quantities.
Back Off, Mom. Parents Who Hover Impede Kids’ Activity
Researchers observing how children play in parks found that children whose parents hung around monitoring them closely were only about half as likely to engage in high levels of physical activity as kids whose parents granted more freedom. The study was intended to help park designers create parks that better entice kids to run around and play, but the researchers found some interesting things along the way.
