FDA Warns Mothers About Mommy's Bliss Nipple Cream
This is scary: The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning to nursing mothers not to use or purchase Mommy's Bliss Nipple Cream, marketed by MOM Enterprises Inc. of San Rafael, California. The product label says there's no need to remove the cream before nursing, but it contains ingredients that may cause respiratory distress, vomiting and diarrhea in infants. Yikes!

Baby Mama Sparked My False Labor
They say the last few weeks are the hardest and I couldn't agree more. Not only am I anxious about the delivery, I'm also going a little stir-crazy from staying at home so much. In an effort to boost my spirits (and get me out of the house), my dear husband treated me to dinner and a movie Friday night. No surprise: I was in the mood for a girlie movie and picked Baby Mama. On our way to the theater I joked that if my water broke during the movie, we might have to name our little one after Tina Fey or Amy Poehler (which would prove difficult considering I'm having a boy!).
