Product Review: Wordsies Wear For Expectant Moms and Kids

---

After I had my son, I was amazed at the number of people who would just walk up to me at the mall and touch his hands or face.

Most people don’t realize that a newborn is more susceptible to getting colds or viruses than a toddler or pre-schooler.

Wordsies, a company created by a mom of 3, has created a full line of shirts that will let the world know what’s acceptable to you without them having to “insult” anyone!

The company’s founder writes:

As a mother of three, I’ve endured complete strangers approach my babies and grab their hands or kiss their cheeks. I would think – Um, where did they just have their hands and lips? From those experiences, I’ve learned to say, “Please do not touch my baby – just look at him.” Now, parents can let the words on the shirts express their wishes.

Some of the unique phrases include:

• Look But Don’t Touch
• Wash Your Hands First
• My Lips Are For My Mommy
• Please Don’t Kiss My Lips
• If You Can Read This Than Your Too Close
• Don’t Cha Wish Your Baby Was Cute Like Me
• Please Don’t Compare Me To Your Baby
• I’m A Biracial Cutie

We have the longs sleeved version that reads ‘Got Clean Hands?’ and it is perfect. It is made of 100% cotton and manufactured in the United States. The neckline is cross over style to provide extra comfort for babies of all sizes.

I love that I can put the shirt on my son and know that it gets the point across. We are smart hand washers and think that everyone else should be too, especially if they want to hold our little man.

They baby on the left is pictured in a onesie ($20) They are offered in 3-6 month and 6-12 month sizes(both long and short sleeves) T-Shirts ($18) are offered in 12-18 month and 18-24 month sizes.

Wordsies offers original screen-printed designs, as well as carefully crafted embroidery designs. All embroidered designs have a protective barrier to protect your baby’s delicate skin.

If you are expecting a baby, this company also has a variety of Mommy slogan shirts as well.

Mother’s Amazing Sacrifice Saves Son’s Life

---

Four months into her pregnancy, Lorraine Allard doctors informed her that she was in the advanced stages of cancer.

At that time she was advised to have end her pregnancy and start chemotherapy immediately.

She insisted on waiting longer in order to give her unborn baby a better chance telling her husband Martyn, “If I am going to die, my baby is going to live.”

At 25 weeks gestation she went into preterm labour and delivered her miracle son, Liam, on November 18th, 2007. Doctors started treatment immediately after the birth, but it was too late. Lorraine passed away just weeks after her sons arrival and only got to hold him a few times during their short time together.

Liam, who was born weighing 1lb 11oz, is expected to be strong enough to go home in March. He will join his 3 big sisters Leah, 10, Amy, 8, and Courtney, 20 months.

Babies born at 25 weeks have a 50 per cent chance of survival.

This goes down to 39 per cent at 24 weeks and 17 per cent – or a one in six chance – at 23 weeks.

Earl and Countess Of Wessex’ Newborn Allergy Scare

---

The Daily Mail is reporting that Earl and Countess of Wessex had a bit of a scare last night after they needed to bring their newborn son to the hospital for tests to diagnose an allergic reaction.

 

 

Five-week old baby James was taken to Great Ormond Street Hospital on Thursday by the Countess and was kept in overnight, for further testing the following morning.

According to family friends, doctors confirmed yesterday that he had had a minor allergic reaction.

They did not reveal what may have caused it but indicated that the condition was treatable.

“As any new parent will tell you, the first few weeks of a new baby’s life are real maelstrom so they were not taking any chances,” a source said.

“The good news is that it is nothing too serious. The doctors are happy with the tests.”

It sounds like he had a reaction to undigested dairy in his mother’s breast milk. It causes an irritation in the colon. Undigested lactose fermented by bacteria in the colon creates lactic acid and other fatty acids, sometimes causing blood in the stool.
