CPSC and Health Canada have investigated complaints about Pampers new Dry Max diapers, and these agencies say they can’t find a definitive link between the new diaper technology and the terrible diaper rashes that have been reported. CPSC has received more than 4,500 reports of Pampers Dry Max diaper rashes since April of this year.

When they’re not sleeping, eating, crying and pooping, babies just love to kick back, relax and wonder what the heck is going on. I mean, they’re not in their comfort zone anymore, so they have to contemplate their next steps in life. And they’d like to do it in style, if at all possible. (What? You don’t think babies can be style-conscious? Have you considered that baby might not be crying because it’s past time to be changed? It’s entirely possible those tears reflect the honest emotions of a baby wearing an outfit chosen by Mom, whose sense of style is so last year. What will the other babies think?) That’s where you come in.

How to Foster Hip Baby Fashion

Save the day with a unique baby gift that’s sweetness and style wrapped in a smile! “Lollipop Loungewear,” brand-new and beautiful from Baby Aspen, is a brightly colored, three-piece layette set for the newborn jet set. The snappy hues are the perfect stimulation for contemplation, and the top-and-bottom style gives baby a break from that long parade of onesies.

What’s more, you don’t need to gift-wrap “Lollipop Loungewear.” The adorable lollipop gift presentation stands on its own, and besides, it would be awful tough to wrap with the lollipop stick tearing through the paper every time you try to wrap it. I’m hoping this is the first of a long line of “Lollipop Loungewear” from Baby Aspen—my sweet tooth is screaming with joy just thinking about all the “flavor” combinations still out there!

Share your photos! Wordless Wednesday photo submission guidelines.

We love our baby gifts, but it’s always nice to know that others love them, too!  They’ve been the guest of honor at lots of baby showers, delivery rooms and first trips home from the hospital.  So, you can imagine our excitement when we saw that two of our popular baby gifts were “guests” at the baby shower Jennifer Love Hewitt threw for her sister in law.

Skimming through the latest OK Magazine article about the shower, there they were…front and center.  With our first look at the photo, we saw Jo Jo the Giraffe smiling back at us with his signature Velcro arms nestling the keepsake box that holds the soft, yellow blankie with his image embroidered in the corner.  Then our eyes opened wide to discover Dilly the Duck had come along for the ride.  A great bath time gift set, baby will love snuggling in the hooded towel, slippers and washcloth.

From the looks of the gift table, Jo Jo and Dilly were in good company.  Everyone says they make great baby gifts.  So, if you’d like to have them at your celebration, click on over to Corner Stork Baby Gifts.  Although we’re not entirely sure if the gifts were purchased from us, it’s nice to know we’ve got the stuff she loves!

Hi! HRU? ?4U.  RU OTT when it comes to IM, FB and Twitter?   IMO,  F2F interaction E123 compared to this. KNIM? I feel like an IWIAM. But if this is your thing, MTFBWU.

For those of you who are still ramping up your social media language skills, here’s a translation:

Hi! How are you? Question for you. Are you over the top when it comes to instant messaging, Facebook and Twitter? In my opinion, face-to-face interaction is as easy as 1-2-3 compared to this. Know what I mean? I feel like an idiot wrapped in a moron. But if this is your thing, may the force be with you.

And a powerful force it is. So powerful, in fact, that social media permeates every aspect of our lives—including the world of baby gifts and baby clothes. We just don’t tweet and FB to show you what’s hot in baby fashion. Today, the medium is truly the message. You just have to be a kid to understand most of it.

The younger, the better.  That’s why these two baby bodysuits are a big hit! I have a niece who’s not even two years old, and she’s already going to town on her mom’s iPhone. She has a long way to go to memorize all the text-messaging and chat abbreviations (there are hundreds!), but I’m fairly confident she’ll get there way before I do. Meanwhile, I highly recommend this stylish social media-plugging attire for the nOOb* in your life! BBS!

In the gardening world, when you plant tomato seeds, you get tomatoes.  The same holds true for just about anything you plant in the garden.  You get exactly what you expect, in most cases.  But, when it comes to our garden of life, you might get a few surprises!

Planting seeds of patience may mean that you’ll have to reap a lot of challenging situations that help you develop your patience skills.  Depositing seeds of faithfulness can mean that you’ll grow into the “go to” person for everyone else’s issues because you know how to get things done.  Yep, you just never know how things will turn out in life, but with Corner Stork’s garden of favors–good things are always blooming!

Favors In Full Bloom

Take our new watering cans for example.  These precious little, liquid life-givers can really pour on the water to thirsty plants, but the real benefit comes when you fill them with a treat for your guests.  Available in pink and blue, the polka dots dazzle the container and make quite a first impression.

If you’re planning a special gathering for your newest sprout, pair it with the Blooming Babies baby shower favor kit. Both the tin and the can are ready to be filled with candy, potpourri, seeds or whatever else you fancy.

When it comes to our do-it-yourself baby shower favors, planting a little time yields a beautiful result.

I can’t tell you how many times in my daughter’s life I wished for a new way to keep her pants from sliding down her nearly non-existent bum. Sure, we opted for adjustable waists whenever possible, but not all clothing is available with that option, sometimes the elastics wear out, and sometimes the pants didn’t adjust enough for my skinny-minny.

According to a report on MSNBC.com, injuries to New York kids aged 4 to 6 from vehicle crashes went down after a state law required that age group to ride in booster seats. While other studies have shown that booster seats provide the best protection for this age group, this is the first time a study has looked at injury reduction by comparing injury rates before and after a state law change.
