Vibrating Baby Mattress

I can't believe how many innovations there have been
in the baby department in the past 20 years.

A vibrating baby mattress? Sounds fabulous--sorta
like a motel bed that you put a quarter in to shake
for 15 minutes. LOL

Old baby cribs

#1 You can't trust an old baby crib since it may have lead paint.

#2 An old crib will not meet modern safety standards.


#3 Measure the distance between baby crib slats by pressing a Coke can
against them and if it fits through, don't use/buy the crib.


#4 Your baby's head could get stuck in between the crib slats.


#5 Old baby cribs were famous for side rails that would fall hard, fast and randomly.

Baby shampoos, lotions & powders

Phthalates is pronounced 'thowlates' and it's a chemical
found in baby lotions, shampoos and powders. Since manufacturers
are not required to list them as ingredients...you cannot really
know which brand is noxious to baby!
