Recommend Topic:Why we don’t use a baby monitor

A few years ago, I checked in with a friend who’d been having a tough time with her high-maintenance newborn. “I don’t even eat until after my husband comes home,” she moaned. “Whenever I put the baby down to fix something, he cries.”

In deference to her hormonal hysteria, I refrained from sharing my immediate reaction: So?

As a new mum, I regularly left my daughter to shriek in her bouncy seat while I scarfed down my lunch or took a shower. Occasional neglect seemed like a relatively minor maternal sin, especially since it was the only way I got anything done around the house. Wasn’t it in my daughter’s best interest to ensure our toilets weren’t condemned by the Health Department?

I developed a habit of lolling around bed in the morning, not responding to my daughter’s cries down the hall until they progressed from gentle mewling to outright fury. And in that spirit, I refused to buy a baby monitor.

These days, it seems, there’s no such thing as an off-duty parent. Even when your children are sleeping, you must remain tethered to them by an electronic gadget, one of those modern-parenting must-haves that our own parents somehow survived without.

Health experts warn of serious problems with overdressing

The breeze carried a hint of winter in late October as new moms hurried into the Elizabeth Blackwell Center near Riverside Methodist Hospital.

Once inside, they lifted their babies from car seats and strollers, unzipped jumpers and popped off knitted caps.

While the babies crawled and slept and fussed and played, the moms shared parenting tips and listened to Yvonne Gustafson’s advice on keeping babies warm and safe all at once.

As it turns out, a baby can be too warm and too bundled up, and both can contribute to serious problems, even death.

The threat of overheating and asphyxiation has garnered more attention in recent years, in part because the American Academy of Pediatrics issued new information on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome three years ago.

The academy reinforced the importance of back sleeping and made other sleep-related recommendations, including advising parents to avoid overheating babies.

As a general rule, babies should be dressed just one layer warmer than what is comfortable for their parents, Gustafson, a parent consultant, told the moms last week.

A good way to check their temperature is to feel the back of their necks, not their hands or feet, which tend to be cooler. If a baby’s neck is hot and sweaty, she said, remove a layer of clothing.

“Your baby might not complain,” Gustafson said, explaining that, as people become overheated, they become lethargic.

And a normal comfortable temperature in the home — 68 to 75 degrees — is perfectly fine for infants, she said.

“If you overbundle your baby or you bundle it too tight, you create a risk for overheating and increase risk for a SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) or sleep-related death,” said Karen Gray, who leads Columbus Public Health’s task force on reducing SIDS and promoting safe sleeping for infants.

Furthermore, if blankets used to bundle a baby get loose during the night, they could suffocate the child.

Lightweight sleep clothing is generally enough for babies, experts say. For those who might benefit from swaddling, including colicky babies, companies now make special sleep sacks that are good at regulating temperature and aren’t a suffocation risk.

Sleep time at home isn’t the only concern.

A blanket tossed over a carrier is fine to protect a baby’s face from icy wind between the car and the mall, but it should not be used longer than a short walk.

“How long would you keep your baby in a box?” Gustafson said to the support-group mothers last week.

Bulky snowsuits or other clothes that push up into a baby’s face while he or she is in the car seat also can be a problem. They can contribute to overheating, block air flow and cause the baby to breathe in too much carbon dioxide.

“We don’t need to be putting 20 layers of clothes on these infants when we’re trying to transport them,” Gray said.

Specially made car-seat liners should be checked by an expert to ensure that they don’t interfere with the operation of the seat.

Last year, 20 infants died of sleep-related deaths in Franklin County, said Kathryn Reese, child fatality-review program manager. The data don’t specify whether overheating or asphyxiation was involved in any particular case.

Anya Beaupre, who took her 10-month-old daughter, Vienna, to the support group meeting last week, said it was a good reminder that just because mom is feeling cold doesn’t mean the baby is.

Beaupre, who lives in Hilliard, said she’s concerned when she sees over-bundled babies but understands that finding a good middle ground can sometimes be difficult.

She said her biggest challenge is sleep time. She said she doesn’t use a blanket and worries that Vienna might be uncomfortable. Usually she dresses her in a onesie and footed pajamas.

Gustafson said hats can be a good solution, both inside and out. They’re easy to put on and take off, and they keep the baby’s body heat from escaping too quickly.

Airlines go ga ga over baby baggage

Thomsonfly and First Choice Airways introduce luggage allowance for infants after a campaign by agents

Ginny McGrath

Two airlines are bringing in a luggage allowance for infants, which will bring down the cost of travelling for young families.

Thomsonfly and First Choice Airways have announced that from May 1, 2009, infants (classified as children under the age of two) will be given a baggage allowance of 10kg in addition to the airlines’ policy of carrying a folding pushchair free-of-charge.

The announcements come in the week that Co-operative Travel has launched a campaign for a change in airline baggage policy for infants. The agency says that infant luggage can weigh up to 15kg for a week’s holiday because of necessary items such as nappies, baby wipes, food, milk and medicine.

That’s in addition to bulky equipment such as booster seats and travel cots.

Talking to the Mom on the Street to See How She Rolls

By Tara Swords

Special to The Washington Post
Sunday, May 18, 2008; Page N02

Parents-to-be have to make some big decisions. Breast-feed or bottle feed? Pick her up or let her cry it out? Go back to work or stay home?

Those decisions are tough, but perhaps nothing is more perplexing to new parents than selecting a stroller. For those in the market, here’s a friendly warning: You might want to set a budget before you find yourself in love with the idea of a limited-edition $2,000 stroller designed by a Dutch fashion icon you’ve never heard of. (That would be the Bugaboo by Bas Kosters.)

Stroller shopping involves an overwhelming set of choices. The varieties alone — bassinet, full-size, umbrella, convertible — can make your head spin. And just wait until you collide with the marketing messages that carefully appeal to new parents’ desire to give their families only the best and safest rides.

Silver Cross, a British luxury baby gear company, claims to design some of its strollers “in conjunction with leading road safety experts.” If that sounds perfect, just head over to HappyMothers.com and buy the Silver Cross 2008 Kensington Carriage in pink for $3,200. And, no, it doesn’t come with a baby.

In every price range, stroller marketers sell the idea of a lifestyle that parents might aspire to. Orbit Baby’s bassinet cradle, which retails for $240 and attaches to the $899 stroller system, offers an “extendable paparazzi shield.” Sure, it blocks out the sun, but that’s hardly as sexy as its ability to block the view of a hounding photographer. Even the Cleo stroller from perennial parental favorite Graco, which retails for about $260, claims “uncompromising luxury” and “the convenience and comfort you and your baby deserve.”

Fortunately, if you can resist the brand pressure, you can find plenty of high-quality strollers that won’t cost you the equivalent of two mortgage payments. While strolling through the Mall and Old Town Alexandria, we ambushed several kiddos in strollers and asked their parents to tell us all about their more modest purchases — the good and the bad.

Car Seat Combo

Mary Buck of Arlington and Adelina Sokoli of New Haven, Conn., both invested in car seats that snap into a stroller frame. Buck bought a Graco, and Sokoli has a Chicco. The big plus of this style is that you don’t have to interrupt a hard-won nap when moving baby from car to stroller.

The good: Lightweight and easy to haul out of the trunk. “It folds down fairly flat, and it even clicks to close,” Buck says. “So all I have to do is grab the bar to pull it out.”

The bad: Buck says she paid more than $100 for her stroller, which she says is too much considering that the baby will grow and need yet another stroller. “I don’t feel like they should charge what they do, because for car seats, you have to change them out so frequently,” Buck says.

Travel Model

Chanda Butler of High Falls, N.Y., travels a lot with son Skylar Rainier, 2. She has a Bugaboo, a higher-end brand that she says was worth the price because it came with a bassinet that enabled Skylar to sleep flat when he was smaller. But when she travels, she takes a Quinny Zapp stroller.

The good:“It folds down, and they proclaim it can go into the overhead” compartment in an airplane, Butler says. “It’s very easy to take to the gate, and it squashes down and travels fantastic.”

The bad: It’s not all-purpose. “I haven’t found the stroller that can really transition all the way through and is the everyday and the travel stroller,” she says. “I don’t think it’s out there.”
