RECALL: Graco Snugride Carseats Due To Potential Choking Hazard

---

Graco Children’s Products Inc. today announced a voluntary recall on the stand alone SnugRide® infant car seats. On some of the 304,675 manufactured August 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007, the backing of the seat pad may pull away from the seams in an area reachable to the child occupant, exposing the pad filling and posing a potential choking hazard.

This corrective action may affect SnugRide infant car seats with the following model numbers: 8609FOF2, 8609FOF3, 8616FOF2, 8616FOF3, 8643DDH2, 8643DDH3, 8643CDR2, 8643DH03, 8643SUP2, 8643SUP3, 8643JOS2, 8643JOS3, 8643MDW3, 8643PWC3, 8643SFJ3, 8645FMT2, 8645FMT3, 8645GLM3, 8645GLN3, 8645HEM2, 8645HEM3, 8645MYC2, 8646SML3, 8645MYC3, 8645MRG3, 8645PKR2, 8645SNY2, 8646SND2, 8645THR2, 8645THR3, 8646FIE2, 8646FIE3, 8646GRT3 and 8646RRY3.

The model number and date of manufacture can be found on the label on the back of the car seats. These seats were sold in the United States at mass merchandisers, specialty retailers and department stores from August 2006 through November 11, 2007. This does not include any SnugRide models made before August 2006, as these products have a different design. This does NOT affect SnugRide models sold as a travel system.

To receive a replacement kit, which includes a replacement seat pad; consumers should call 1-800-345-4109 Monday–Friday between 8 am & 5 pm ET or visit http://www.gracobaby.com 24 hours a day to determine whether their car seat may be affected. Parents should NOT return the Infant seat to the retailer.

*This matter does not affect the ability of the child restraint system to protect the occupant in the case of a motor vehicle crash. Product owners can continue use of the SnugRide® infant car seat as a child restraint. However, Graco® recommends that parents examine the seat pad on a periodic basis to ensure that the inner filling of the seat cover does not pull away from the seams and become exposed to a child and not necessarily wash the pad while they wait for the replacement cover.*

What are G Diapers?

---

Since Julia Roberts spoke about G diapers in the recent issue of Vanity Fair, I have received quite a few e-mails from parents asking for more information.

This eco-friendly diaper is half cloth, half disposable. It consists of 3 parts. The outer part which is cloth (the g), the snap in liner(washable) and the flushable liner.

They go on opposite of conventional diapers (velcro in the back), so if your folding the tabs in the front – you have done it wrong.

The flushable can be disposed of 3 ways:

1. Down the toilet– Tear both sides of the liner and wait for the center core to fall out. You then give the core a swish with the swish stick and then flush. As the waste goes down the toilet, let go of the rest of the liner.
2. Compost – Simply deposit the liner into your compost container. It will breakdown between 50-150 days.
3. Throw it in the garbage – Flushable refills are plastic-free, organic material. So they really will break down in the landfill unlike their disposable neighbors, which are chock full of plastic and take up to 500 years to break down in the landfill.

The materials in ‘little g’ pants, liners and flushables are designed with comfort and dryness in mind. Flushables are made of a water resistant, breathable outer material that keep bottoms dry and wetness away. It is made of all natural fiber and is 100% biodegradable.

The interior uses elemental chlorine-free tree farmed fluff pulp and Super Absorbing Poly-acrylate to absorb wetness. These super absorbing lock away cells hold up to 100 times their weight in liquid.

Snap-in liners are made of breathable polyurethane coated nylon, not pvc like many diaper covers. They are easy to change and rinse out. The liners are also breathable which helps prevent diaper rash.

The ‘little g’ pants are made of a soft, breathable outer cotton/elastene fabric giving them a slight stretch.

We cloth diaper our son so I would be interested to see what the differences are between this system and the one I currently use…

Nancy Grace’s Twins Will Stay In Hospital A Bit Longer

---

UPDATE: John was released from hospital yesterday, Nancy’s spokeswoman confirmed this morning. “They’re just thrilled to have at least one of the babies home for Thanksgiving,” Caruso said. Lucy still remains in the Atlanta Hospital the twins were born in. No word on her release date was given.

While Nancy Grace rests at home after being hospitalized last week, her twins still remain in hospital, something that may not change for several weeks.

“It’s just killing me leaving them there,” Nancy told People Magazine.

The Headline News anchor is spending “pretty much all my time” at the hospital so she can be with son John David and daughter Lucy Elizabeth, who were born Nov. 4. The twins, who have “golden blonde hair and greenish blue eyes,” are sleeping in the same bassinet.

John David, who “just passed the five-pound mark,” says Grace, will likely come home before his sister, Lucy Elizabeth, who now tips the scales at 3 lbs, 6 oz. Grace hopes to return home to New York by early December but says, “It all depends on when Lucy can travel.”

While it may be hard for the new mom to understand, these babies were actually born big, as far as preemies go. The only thing left for them to do is grow, be able to maintain their own temperature and take all feeds by mouth. Related Articles:

All of the Byler Sextuplets Are Home

---

Just in time for Thanksgiving, the final Byler sextuplet goes home.

Charlie Craig Byler, was released from All Children’s Hospital yesterday.

“He may have to be on a small amount of oxygen,” said father Ben Byler.

To be released, babies must weigh at least 4 pounds and be able to eat and breathe on their own. Charlie now weighs about 6 pounds and is feeding a lot better now, Ben said.

Charlie will join the other sextuplets MacKenzie, Brady Christopher, Eli Benjamin, Jackson Robert, Ryan Patrick and 4-year-old sister Zoe.

Allkids.org reported today that:

While each of the babies had their individual challenges with breathing and feeding, Charlie faced the additional difficulty created by a vascular ring, an unusual formation of the aorta or surrounding vessels that encircles the trachea and esophagus. This can lead to breathing and digestive difficulties, and sometimes requires surgery. Thankfully, Charlie has done well enough avoid any need for surgery thus far, but will warrant close follow-up in the weeks and months to come.

Quads Shocker For UK Parents

---

A couple in Derbyshire found out they were expecting quadruplets – four days before her boyfriend was due to get snipped.

Daniel Morley, 32, had booked in for a vasectomy as he and Dawn Tilt, 31, already had three children, reports the Daily Mirror.

They discovered she was pregnant four days before the op but had no idea they would be having quads until her 12 week scan.

Daniel was speechless and Dawn burst into tears!

The childhood sweethearts were not on any fertility drugs, meaning they have defied 729,000-1 odds to have quads.

The babies, all healthy, are due to be delivered by caesarean section in March, nine weeks before their due date.

 

This couple doesn’t know it yet – but these babies really are a blessing. We wish them good luck!
