With this latest recall from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), we have to ask ourselves, are all of these baby products necessary? As we mentioned in our recall post on the stylish slings, New Moms, Don’t Choose Style Over Safety, many new parents feel they need to have the latest and greatest products for their baby. The most important thing to be concerned about is the safety of your baby.

There are two things you can do to help keep your baby safe:

1. Always read and follow safety instructions for any product you purchase for your baby.
2. Be aware of recalls. The CPSC website is the best source for recalls. You can join their email subscription list to begin receiving recall information on infant and child products.

What do you think of this latest recall?

After yesterday’s post, I decided to live up to my word and make a donation to the March of Dimes. I still did buy coffee this morning, but I brought my lunch to work instead of ordering out. All it really takes is one small step to make a big difference. Now it’s your turn to be a hero for babies. Text “hero” to 20222 to make a $5 donation to the March of Dimes. You can also go online to make a donation at MarchofDimes.com/Farmers.

When you send your text “hero” to 20222, you will receive a free message. The message asks you to confirm your donation or to cancel. To confirm your donation, text “YES” in response. It’s that simple!
