Michelle Williams Celebrates Heath’s Life


Michelle Williams joins Health Ledger’s friends and family in the water yesterday to celebrate the late actors untimely passing.


A wake was held at a restaurant on a Perth beach where Heath had loved to surf.

Michelle arrived at the service at 12:30pm with Heath’s family in a convoy of four black vehicles.

The 90-minute ceremony also included a video tribute to actor.

Even though Heath and Michelle’s daughter Matilda Rose was not in attendance at the ceremony, musician Ben Harper performed a song he wrote for her: Happy Ever After In Your Eyes.

It is nice to see Michelle smile. Let’s hope she gets the time she needs to heal now.

Another Study Suggests Some Plastic Baby Bottles Harmful


The baby bottle ‘leaching’ issue has just gained a bit more credibility after a study released in Toronto finds “significant” levels of bisphenol A in bottles that were heated.

In the study, nine different plastic bottles from three major manufacturers were heated during testing and leached levels of the chemical that ranged between five and eight parts per billion.

Research suggests that even lower levels of exposure to bisphenol A, which acts like the hormone estrogen, can alter cell function, said Rick Smith, executive director of Toronto-based Environmental Defence, which released the study.

“There’s increasingly strong evidence that this chemical can be linked to thyroid problems (and) different kinds of cancer including breast cancer in women, so the fact that we’re actually feeding it to our babies – the implications of this are mind-boggling,” said Smith.

The bottles – produced by Avent, Gerber and Playtex – were sent to the University of Missouri-Columbia for testing, filled with water and heated in an oven at 80C to simulate how the plastic would react to dozens of washings.

I hope that the increased amount of press this issue is getting will help parents realize that more research is needed before buying your newborn’s bottles.

There are a lot of companies producing great bottles that will give parents piece of mind and allow their infants to get the full nutritional benefit without the side effects.

Can a Premature Birth Be Predicted?


After I delivered my son 16 weeks early, I spoke to many moms in the same situation and was surprised to hear that about 90% of them were shocked by their babies early arrival.

Most had been experiencing perfectly normal pregnancies before the preterm labour hit.

There is a test that I am sure most of these moms would have taken, had they of known such a thing existed.

The Fetal Fibronectin Test, is a safe, reliable, non-invasive test (similar to a Pap test) that measures the presence of fetal fibronectin. With this simple test, your doctor can tell if your body may be getting ready for delivery, even before you feel any of the symptoms.

Fetal fibronectin (also known as fFN) is a “glue-like” protein that bonds your developing baby to your uterus. It is a special protein that literally holds your baby in place in the womb. The protein is detectable in vaginal secretions in the very beginning of pregnancy, when this bond is first forming, and then again at the end of pregnancy, when your body is getting ready to deliver your baby.

The Fetal Fibronectin Test, will have a negative test result, which can give them great “peace of mind” — a negative test result means you can be 99.2% assured that you won’t go into labor in the next two weeks.
