The Florida Missing baby has been found in a bit of a bizarre scene.  As I last wrote the babysitter had admitted to writing a letter and demanding basically the state do something, when they state didn’t she did.
Apparently She carved or bought a cedar chest just big enough for Shannon to fit in and slid right under the bed. No one would’ve been wiser to a baby being under the bed, but it was discovered that a tiny infant was in fact in it and still very much alive. The only thing missing was a bottle.
No clue where the …read more

Shannon Lea Dedrick is only 7-months old and it is believed she went missing after her parents put her to bed. But sometime during the following morning when they came to check in on her she was gone.here are rumors swirling the family had posted online they’d buried her, others were they were being investigated by DCF. While none of us would like to think any of this is true it is a possibility, but remember folks it is a POSSIBILITY, not 100% someone still could’ve taken her.

Parents who are nervous about having a five or six year old child when Swine Flu is on the rise could probably safely quadruple their feelings of fear and anxiety to understand how parents of babies under six months of age feel.
A new mom with a three month old child and two school age children probably summed it up best when she said, “I think it is very scary. I’m afraid to go outside.”
 
So what do new moms do to keep their babies safe?

Earlier this month it was announced on both Facebook and Twitter that a newborn baby was born with a very rare eating disorder. There was a shout-out for anyone willing to help.
What was it? Baby Jaeli was allergic to just about anything she could eat and would need a supply of breastmilk, but her mother couldn’t supply the amount needed.
Facebook and Twitter jumped up to the cause letting everyone know about the situation and it has now been announced that 60 complete strangers have donated breastmilk. By the way, it costs $4.25 per ounce of breastmilk from the Human Milk Banking Association …read more

A stroller ran out in front of a train this past week when it got away from the mother, thankfully the baby inside survived. This whole incident was actually caught on tape at the train station, by the way it was the stations camera not someone filming the horrible incident.
You can also see how terrified the mother was and how she attempted to get her baby but couldn’t.  For those worrying about the 6-month-old little boy, he was doing just fine according to reports but did get a little bump on the head.
FoxNews reported: 
Australia’s Herald Sun said the train ploughed …read more

I always love hearing the “happy ending” type of stories and I’m sure most of you do too, so here is one. Karen Morrisroe-Clutton, a new mother had been in a coma for 5 weeks when nothing seemed to be working.
She even states that she considered just giving up, that she wanted to die. This isn’t much of a surprise as I hear many that struggle with an illness such as this end up not wanting to suffer any longer.
DailyMail quotes Karen as stating:
‘I knew that I was dying,’ she said. ‘I confess that at one stage I gave up. …read more

Woo hoo, there has been an update on Alex Lange.  Alex is the little 4-month-old baby boy that was denied Health care because they thought he was a risk because he weighed a whopping 17lbs. They have now decided that he is no longer a risk and will be accepting him in the plan.
“A recent situation in which we denied coverage to a heavy, yet healthy, infant brought to our attention a flaw in our underwriting system for approving infants,” says Steve ErkenBrack, president and CEO, Rocky Mountain Health Plans.
“Because we are a small company dedicated to the people of Colorado, …read more

Alex Lange,  4-month-old baby, is being denied health insurance because at 17lb he is too fat.  While many doctors would be happy to see a chubby baby vs a baby that is too thin, this one is making the workers at Rocky Mountain Health Plans shake their heads.
No, can do. They will not support this little baby boy.
Okay, I know America is worried about the “fat children” but this is a 4-month-old little baby. Could this not be just those awkward months? I know my own children got fat during the first year and then evened out after their first …read more

Doctors and researchers have put together a new study that shows that overweight pregnant women may actually cause heart defects in their babies.  From my readings this isn’t just if someone becomes obese or overweight while pregnant but before they get pregnant
The CDC wrote:
United States finds that women who were overweight or obese before they became pregnant had an approximately 18 percent increased risk of having a baby with certain heart defects compared with women who were of normal body mass index (BMI) before they became pregnant.  Severely obese women had approximately a 30 percent increased risk, according to a study …read more

A Pennsylvania woman has given birth to triplets, but not just any triplets…but identical triplets. It is very rare to give birth to identical triplets so I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the future.
The triplets were born at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh this past Wednesday (not today).
The triplets were actually born at 33 weeks because mom, Amanda Faher, developed pre-eclampsia and this was safer. It isn’t uncommon that a woman delivers multiples sooner than the due date, normally due to the space.  I believe she actually went pretty far, close to the actual birth …read more
