Child Safety Locks Deemed Unsafe

The Safety 1st toilet and cabinet locks were sold at Bed, Bath and Beyond, Burlington Coat Factory, Home Depot, Target and Walmart.

Hundreds of thousands of child safety locks are being recalled because they can fail, exposing children to dangerous situations. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG), Thursday announced a voluntary recall of about 183,000 toilet locks and 685,000 cabinet locks. Young children can unexpectedly disengage the toilet locks and gain access to water in the toilet, posing the risk of drowning, according to the CPSC, and the cabinet locks are being recalled because young children can disengage the lock, posing the risk of injury from dangerous or unsafe items stored in the cabinet. Have you had issues with these locks or others not working? Tell us in the comments below. …

Little Southampton

Baby, Oh Baby!

Sometimes it doesn't matter how many children you have, there is still so much to learn

It amazes me that while I am not a “new” mom, I certainly feel like one this time around. I find myself worrying because my third baby, Nathan, isn’t exactly where his brother, Peyton, and sister, Madison, were at this point. I‘m slowly beginning to see that each baby is different and he is certainly moving at his own pace. I started comparing Nathan to his siblings at the young age of seven weeks old, mainly because Peyton and Madison were already sleeping through the night at this point. Here we are at almost eight months and, well, let’s just say we get anywhere from six to seven hours of sleep a night. To some parents that’s awesome, but to me not so much, considering the other two were going ten to twelve hours a night at this point. …

I can totally relate to this article, and enjoy reading about situations so similar to mine in regards to differences in milestone development. I sure hope that Nathan starts sleeping a little more, so this mommy can get some much needed rest. Hope more articles like these keep coming :)   more ›
