I am amused that breast milk contains the super important, indicative of stem cells, NESTIN, which sounds similar to NESTLE, the evil evil anti-booby company.
oh, the irony. in my head.

also... I knew i didn't need to bank that cord blood and pay out the wazoo!!

thesynergizer February 12 2008, 16:51:38 UTC

you banked your baby's cord blood?!?!?!?

i've never met anyone who's actually done that before ...

just in case? or any particular concern?

iamsuperkate February 12 2008, 16:54:10 UTC

no no! but we got all this information, mailings like once a week, the nurses asked, which started to make me feel guilty. I've seen all this propaganda, and then i see the price and just blink. you want me to pay how much, for something that might possibly be useful one day?? no thanks.

oh phew! cause it's a horribly preditory industry that prays on the fears of new moms.

I am trying to think what Baby NEEDS propaganda i did fall prey to. maybe the need for multiple sheets? what else did i do stupid?

thesynergizer February 12 2008, 17:12:15 UTC

yeah, we did two sheets for a crib we never used LOL!!!

My MIL flipped when she learned we didn't have a swing, so she went and bought us one when he was like 5 months old and practically too big for it anyway. (We recently pitched it when we cleaned out our shed. I will not be putting any future babies in a swing either)

But I had to shell out $60 for my over-the-shoulder-baby-holder myself. Oh well. I did get a used Maya Wrap as a gift, from a thrift shop from my ex-boss' wife. :-) I think it was just a lucky guess though.

I would actually use two sheets and mattress pads, for sheet changing day. we have a wendy bellissimo bedding set, and that sheet is so easy to get on. my others are carters, and i break my nails every time i try to get one on! so i just change the mattress pad, and he naps on that while the WB sheet is going thru the wash :P

if i get another swing, it will be that papasan one. he hated the plastic bucket seat, and being all bent up!
