Jennifer and Marc’s Twins Names Revealed?

---

Moldova.org revealed that Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have called her twin babies Maximiano and Emelina.

Witnesses at the North Shore University Hospital in Long Island overheard the singer using the names after giving birth last week.

The claim backs up a previous report that Lopez’s mom Guadalupe was spotted collecting baby ID bracelets engraved with the names Max and Emme from a New York jewellery store.

Additionally, A spokesperson for Baby K’tan in Fort Lauderdale, who did not confirm the names, told People that pink and blue embroidered 100 percent cotton carriers were purchased for the couple as gifts.

We recently reviewed the comfy carriers for our site.

They are the perfect choice for the couple because one of their holding positions accommodates twins.

28-Inch Tall Kentucky Woman Delivers 18-Inch Daughter

---

Stacey Herald, who is 28½ inches, head to heel, gave birth five weeks ago to an 18-inch daughter who is not much smaller than her mother,WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reports.

The new mom, who was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta also has a 16-month-old daughter, Katira, also suffers from the genetic disorder that causes bones to break easily. The new baby, Makaia, is expected to grow to average height.

“My whole life I’ve been told that I wasn’t able to have children, (and) I would not live through the pregnancy — that with the size of my torso, the baby would grow up underneath my lungs and smother out my lungs and my heart, and we would both die,” Herald said.

“Something inside me just didn’t believe that,” she said.

After Stacy became pregnant with Katira, doctors warned that she and the baby would in trouble and they advised her to schedule an abortion.

“We said, ‘No, we’re not doing that,’ and my doctor — I love her to death, she’s so sweet — she said, ‘OK,’ she said, ‘We’ll do it. We’ll provide the best medical care we provide. You provide the faith and we’ll see what happens,'” Herald said.

While pregnant with Makaia Stacy said her belly “swelled to comically large proportions.”

“If I laid down, I looked like a snail,” she said, laughing. “That’s how big my belly was. I looked like an Idaho potato with arms and legs.”

“You couldn’t see my feet,” Herald said. “You know, my legs are there you know, but my belly came out so long, that all you could see was a belly with toes.”

This mom could be called either courageous or crazy. It is definitely a gamble to have a second baby knowing that the first was born with the same genetic condition that you have.

I am glad that this baby arrived healthy and happy!

Overcrowded Cribs Blamed For Half Of All Crib Deaths

---

Most women dream of dressing up their nursery long before the baby is due to arrive or even sometimes conceived. When you are out looking for a crib, they are always dressed up with beautiful bedskirts, bumpers and comforters.

The CPSC is reporting today that about half of the deaths related to cribs were in cribs containing pillows, quilts and other bedding. About half of these were due to suffocation when infants ended up face down on pillows or face down in a crib with pillows, quilts and other bedding.

Last year Pottery Barns Bumper pads were recalled due to entanglement hazard, which comes as no surprise to me because in August of 2005 the Canadian Government issued a warning to parents about the use of bumper pads in cribs because they pose an entanglement, entrapment, strangulation, and suffocation hazard to infants.

The article goes on to say that:

Thirty-percent of crib deaths were attributed to entrapment between components of old cribs that were in bad condition, with broken or missing parts or loose hardware, and entrapment in spaces generated between the sides of a crib and an ill fitted mattress. The remaining 20% of the deaths were associated with accessories situated in/around the crib (such as window cords or curtain tie backs), falls out of cribs, alterations made to cribs, or entrapment when the child became wedged between the crib and other furniture or a wall.

The CPSC is urging parents:

• To reduce the risk of SIDS and suffocation, place baby to sleep on his or her back in a crib that meets current safety standards
• To prevent suffocation never use a pillow as a mattress for baby to sleep on or to prop baby’s head or neck
• Infants can strangle to death if their bodies pass through gaps generated between loose components, broken slats and other parts of the crib and their head and neck become entrapped in the space.

• o Do not use old, broken or modified cribs
• o Regularly tighten hardware to keep sides firm

• Infants can suffocate in spaces generated between the sides of the crib and an ill fitted mattress; never allow a gap larger than two fingers at any point between the sides of the crib and the mattress
• Never place a crib near a window with blind or curtain cords; infants can strangle on curtain or blind cords.
• Properly set up play yards according to manufacturers’ directions. Only use the mattress provided with the play yard. Do not add extra mattresses, pillows or cushions to the play yard, which can cause a suffocation hazard for infants.
• Routinely check nursery products against CPSC recall lists and remove recalled products from your home
