I bought my nursing cover from Rosanna a few weeks ago and I love it! I have used the cover a few times in public and it works great. I am not one of those suave mothers that can whip their boob in and out before you even know what happened. I am clumsy and modest; I need security that I am not going to flash all of Ikea.
The nursing cover is large enough to conceal everything. The ring in the strap is adjustable. The best part is the wire at the top of the cover that forms an opening for me to watch Ace and for her to see me. She doesn’t seem to mind being under the cover. The material is not very heavy. There is a terry cloth corner that weighs the material down and can serve as a burp wipe. I have not tried to wash my cover yet, so I don’t know how it comes out in the wash.
Rosanna has many beautiful prints to choose from. You can’t beat the price at $25 each. She only charges $2 for shipping. Most covers I looked at were $35 plus. When you buy from Rosanna you are supporting a local mom and not a corporate chain. Rosanna was prompt to answer my emails and ordering was easy.

Yesterday the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of Bumbo Baby Sitter seats, because there have been reports of children falling out of them and three children had skull fractures.
Basically, the CPSC is warning parents against the seats being placed on tables and counter tops. Children can arch their backs and flip out of the seat. The recall will put new warning labels on the seats.
I place Ace in her bumbo seat just about every day on our kitchen table while we have dinner. I even fed Ace in her chair on the table for the first time yesterday. I know that as soon as I see Ace arch her back or when she is growing tired of sitting there, I take her out.
As with all baby products, we just need to use common sense.
I have been going back and forth about getting a bumper for Ace’s crib. I have a friend who works for a child’s advocacy group and she is very anti-bumper. In my child birth class and they said not to use one, because of SIDs and suffocation. I also don’t have one, because I am cheap frugal.
I find Ace with her arms and legs sticking out of her crib or her head right up against the rails. I think she is just about past the SIDs stage and she can control her head now. So I am thinking about getting one. Ultimately, I think either way is probably okay.
This question got me wondering about other parents. Do you or did you use a bumper?
I saw the news about IntroFee’s call for video submissions on valleywag.com under the category Bad Ideas. I agree with the category title.
According to the story on Yahoo! News, “in its upcoming Super Bowl ad, www.introfee.com is offering a $1000 bounty for clear video footage of live baby birth to use in its ad, announcing the birth of its website & service on Feb 3.”
Entries have to be uploaded to any video hosting service like YouTube or Veoh and tagged “IntroFee.” Entries must be submitted by Nov. 14th.
The introfee website states some of the requirements.
Video requirements:
* Video must show clear baby emergence
* Video must show umbilical cord being severed
* Includes sound
Additional Requirements:
* You own the video
* You have the ability to upload the video to a video hosting site such as YouTube and tag it with ‘introfee’
* You agree to the terms below
This is not a hoax. So if you want millions of Super Bowl fans to clearly view your miracle of child birth, submit your videos! Not to mention the viewers on YouTube will get to see the clear shot too.
Not that footage of live child birth is bad, I am just not sure I want millions of folks seeing mine. I am modest and some women aren’t. Also, I don’t think $1000 dollars is that much of an offer.
So now when you see the commercial in February, you can brag about how you knew about it months before the Super Bowl.
