Tell Us: Which is the Creepiest Baby Accessory?
Category:
Children Poll
Think you’ve seen it all when it comes to baby gear? Think again. The gang at
Cracked.com shows how low you can go in a “20 Baby Products Great for Traumatizing Infants.”
First let me say, I actually love one of these products that unfortunately you can’t actually buy yet. It’s a Japanese invention called the Baby Mop, a playsuit with a mop head front that allows baby to scoot and shine the floor at the same time! Creepy? More like brilliant, and my husband would be the first one to open his wallet for another item on the list, a
CD of Metallica lullabyes.
That said, there are some truly creepy items on this list. Let’s start with the tacky. I think I have a pretty good and weird sense of humor, but I wouldn’t want to send grandma and grandpa photos of baby’s first Halloween dressed as a
whoopie cushion!. Then there are
Baby’s First Heels, soft baby shoes designed to look like high heels in hot pink, leopard, zebra and of course, black. It’s like “Sex and the City” for babies. It’s like WRONG!
Then there’s the
Zaky Infant Pillow. I guess the idea is nice, a pair of hands to cradle baby when you can’t, but it’s just a little too “Thing from The Addams Family’” for me.
Again, I’m on board with the idea of Sweden’s
Nosefrida, a manual nasal aspirator that is apparently quite popular over there. However, the actual idea of sucking the stuff out of baby’s nose through a tube connected to my mouth is just kind of gross.
Finally, I had the uhm, honor, of writing about Creepy Baby Product #2,
The Baby Toupee. I thought they were kind of funny, especially the Bob Marley, but like I said, I have a weird sense of humor.

Working Mom Thursday: The Perfect Cami with a Built-In Bra
Category:
Mom Fashion Underwear
Here’s a helpful find from our friends at WorkItMom.com.
So many of the tank tops of summer have raceback straps and plunging necklines, and I love them all. But my relatively flat chest has major issues with the look; a strapless bra doesn’t work on me (just slides straight into my belly), and I conventional bra straps look awkward in many of my tank tops.
So I took a meander to Victoria’s Secret and came across this beautiful, seamless cami with a built-in push up bra. It has the comfort of cotton with the stamina of metal: it not only pulls in my flabby parts, but it pushes up my breasts and provides excellent support.
On night one I wore it under a skim-fitting sweater. On night two I wore it under my orange racer-back tank, and on day three, I went running in it. It gave me more support than my Nike running bra, and as a bonus I jogged with stellar-looking cleavage. Tonight I might sleep in it and then tomorrow I promise I’ll wash it.
