Toddlers Switched Back After Living With Wrong Families For 2 years


Could you imagine raising a baby for 2 years, just to find out that they are not yours?

This is what happened to two mums who had their babies mixed up by blundering hospital staff in Russia.

Devastated Zarema Tiasumova and Anna Androsova have finally swapped their children back after DNA tests.

Zarema is so upset she still sits outside the other boy’s house to be close to the child she brought up as her own.

The truth was revealed when Anna and her husband requested DNA tests after the baby she had been given developed dark skin and hair.

Anna said: “It was a nightmare. I loved little Nikita but somehow always knew something wasn’t quite right.

“There was no family resemblance and my husband was suspicious.”

Heartbroken mom Zarema, who called the lad she raised Aldan, refused to swap him for real son Nikita until Anna went to court.

Zarema said: “I can’t turn off my love like a switch or a light.

“I loved him for two years and will always feel I am his real mother. Of course, I am happy to have my own son but you can’t help the way you feel. Just sitting outside Aldan’s house made me feel closer to him.”

My heart goes out to these families. Two years is a long bonding time to have to forget. Birthdays, Christmas, first steps, first words…so SAD.

Satyana Denisof and was born March 24 in Los Angeles, which also happens to be the new mom’s birthday. “They’re very excited, and mom and baby are doing great,” says the rep.

During her pregnancy she craved ginger ale and revealed she felt absent minded.

“I have pregnancy brain, which I never realized was a thing but it is,” she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I sort of feel like a Koala bear where I’m slightly stoned all the time and say the wrong word.”


Feature Product Review: Peg Perego Aria Twin 60/40


Recently, the Peg Perego Aria Twin 60/40 has been our stroller of choice for quick trips to the mall and grocery store.

It is perfect for us because it holds a car seat on one side (60 side) and a toddler on the other side.

There have been many things about this stroller that have impressed me during the last few weeks I have been using it.

Here is what I found:

Installation:

This stroller arrived out of the box ready to go. All I needed to do was pop on the canopies and snack trays.

Getting Started:

Opening this stroller is a dream. All you have to do is unlock the handle bar from each side and then give the stroller a tug. The whole things unfolds on its own and locks into place, ready to be used.

Closing it up is just as easy. Two levers on each side of the handles enable the whole stroller to close up when they are pushed.

Features:

Once closed, the whole handle assembly sit low enough to let the stroller stand on its own. I like this because it’s almost like having a helper when you are out shopping. Having a stroller that can stand on its own is a bonus when you have 2 screaming kids and 50 bags to load into your vehicle.

I really like the Aria 60/40 for a lot of reasons. It is a lightweight, compact, double stroller that drives nicely. Moms who need to carry a screaming baby and push the stroller will find the one hand push a breeze.

The shopping basket is a big enough to hold a diaper bag plus groceries if you need it to. It runs the whole length of the stroller.

Because it is equipped with 5 inch wheels, this stroller falls into the double umbrella category – except it has one advantage over it’s competition. It accommodates a car seat (Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30)on one side. The 60/40 design gives parents of a toddler and newborn the option of using the ’60’ side for a car seat, while the toddler can sit in the ’40’ side.

Once your baby outgrows the car seat, you can switch the seating to have baby in the smaller side and move the bigger toddler over to the ’60’ side where they can have a bit more room.

Both sides feature their own canopies, snack trays and Peg Perego‘s freedom of movement 5-point harness.

Weighing in at just 19lbs, the Aria 60/40 is one of the lightest doubles on the market with more features than others.

I highly recommend this stroller for families who are looking for a good stroller without breaking the bank. It is perfect for all travel including air travel because it folds up and locks so nicely. The side carrying handle also makes it easy to carry when not in use.

So far I have been pleasantly surprised by the fact that this stroller fits through all doorways – even smaller ones in older buildings.

In fact, the strollers width is rarely an issue until I am shopping in a store that has too much stuff crammed in the aisles.

At the end of the day I like that the Aria Twin pushes easily and that its a nice stroller for parents with children of different ages.

Additional features:

  • telescopic closing
  • independently adjustable backrests and hoods
  • form fitting hood with transparent insert
  • 5-point clip harnesses
  • front swiveling or locking suspension wheels
  • back wheels with centralized control
  • removable easy to clean lining

Offered in 3 colors – Titanio, Moka and Tango Red

Crummy Parent Alert: Father Leaves Baby Out In The Cold To Go Gambling


Emergency services rescued a baby early this morning after the father left the child in a car to go gambling.

Police, fire and EMS were called after Patrons of the Silver Dollar Casino heard the baby cried, while his father gambled inside.

“A car was found with the windows covered with blankets to avoid viewing from outside,” said police.

“Fire Crews gained access to the vehicle and removed a 21-month old male child from a rear child restraint.

“The child had vomited on his clothing, (and was) very lightly dressed with no shoes or socks.”

By the time crews reached the baby shortly after midnight, investigators believe the baby had been in the car for approximately six hours in temperatures that hovered around -8 Celsius.

Police believe that the father may have checked on the child from time to time.

The 50-year-old father has been charged with a criminal charge of abandoning a child, while the baby has been seized by Child and Family Services.

Toddler Caught After 40-foot Fall From Window


Police in Lawrence, Mass., say a toddler who fell 40 feet from an open window owes her life to two men who caught her before she hit the ground.

Robert Lemire, 45, and Alex Day, 23, bolted toward Caliah Clark from separate sides of the street as she dangled Sunday from a third-story apartment with two children trying to pull her inside, The (Lawrence, Mass.) Eagle Tribune reported reported.

When she fell, Alex caught the top half of the 18-month-old girl and Robert, her lower half.

The girl’s father, Randall Clark, 27, told police he was caring for a newborn in the apartment bathroom when he heard a commotion and found his two oldest children near the open window, which had no screen, and Caliah missing.

He ran downstairs where he was met by Alex carrying Caliah.

She was examined at a hospital but is believed to have suffered no serious injuries.

The state Department of Social Services was notified, as required by law, and is expected to investigate.
