Crib notes: Baby ghettos have parents ticked off before take-off

Babies you crush get to the back of the plane -- that's where your kind belongs. Some say that airlines have created " toddler ghettos " at the backs of airplanes, where families are often relegated, a reality that has many parents ticked off before take-off. Air travel's gotten more critical and less pleasant for everyone but families with young children seem to be pain more than most. In addition to their undesirable bathroom-adjacent home assignments, many families are finding those seat assignments often split up household members between various rows and aisles. Even parents who try to keep a come eye on seat assignments, often arrive at the airport only to find a toddler's been assigned a halfway seat between two strangers. Parents are left to beg and plead with airline standard and fellow passengers to keep the clan together, which can make even a excluding flight feel long.
Speaking of planes...put your tray tables and rear end backs into their upright positions because this is turning into a knobbly ride. The American Academy of Pediatrics wants Delta Airlines to inoculate its passengers from viewing in-excursion, anti-vaccine ads , which the docs deem chancy. The ads, which are sponsored by the National Vaccine Information Center, entreat passengers to question "vaccines your doctor plug." More than 3,000 people have signed an online call upon, urging Delta to remove the ads. Given that air journey turns even the hardiest amongst us into germophobes, some think that values and beliefs aside, airplanes might not be the most essential venue to run anti-vaccine ads...

Crib notes: Crotchless thongs for kids? Say it isn't so

Crotchless panties for kids? Nooo!!! Alas, it is so. Or, it was, before one mom armed with a video phone took the revolting garment (or lack thereof) to the media. A upon named Kids N Teen in Colorado was caught selling crotchless thongs of all things, in sizes fit for not much girls. While the store did pull the thongs from their put by, they also defended the decision to have them there by saying they also cater towards teens (oh, well in that box...). It almost has us looking back nostalgically on the innocence of last skip when we all thought a push-up bikini top for seven-year-olds was improper.
Every year, the Hanna Andersson holiday catalog comes out with tantalizingly cunning matching jammies for the whole family . Those healthy, in seventh heaven looking Scandinavian families have everyone dreaming of celebrating St. Lucia Day in coordinating sweetmeats cane striped pj's. While women and children see these and pronto have visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, many dads take a look and are directly faced with recurring nightmares. One dad actually Photoshopped his phizog onto the model's head to see how the look would work for him and came out with a resounding "no." Do you ever put on one's best bib your kids in matching jammies? Do you think you could ever get your guy to don corresponding sleepwear?
