When I had my son the only changing pad available was probably the same one my mom had. It was a foam countoured pad with a plastic covering.
Now with all of the advances in the baby market new moms have more choices that provide extra comfort and added style.
UK baby company Küster has the first ever memory foam changing mat to be ergonomically shaped to fit your baby. And because baby is being changed constantly, day in, day out, the clever people at Küster have made it not only easy to wipe clean, the special high tech material is warm to the touch, soft and gentle for your baby and free from PVC. A much happier experience for baby’s delicate skin, all round.
Available in cream, this mat comes with a 100% cotton and towelling, machine washable liner.
A travel bag is also included for parents who want their infant to be comfy while out and about.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban take a stroll in Sydney yesterday.
Last week I posted a pic of the tall slender actress barely looking pregnant.
I guess I am not the only one wondering where Nicole’s baby bump is hiding.
A source told Women’s Weekly“It’s hard to believe she’s almost through her sixth month.”
“There’s barely a hint of a baby bump.”
I just can’t wait for her to really start to show. It would be nice to see her out of her element.

A study conducted by the Center for Science in the Public Interest has found that 91% Of Saturday Morning Ads for Kids Sell Fats, Salt, Sugar, Low Nutrition.
The finding comes from a study of 27.5 hours of children’s programs that ran on a single Saturday morning — May 7, 2005 — in Washington, D.C. During that time, advertisers inserted more than four hours of ads, half of which marketed food or restaurants to kids.
Most foods advertised to children are:
The study also pointed out the positive as well. It noted that:
Even though the The Children’s Advertising Review Unit was setup up by advertisers to be a self-monitoring system, the group’s director notes that it is not in the health business.
“[CARU] was not established to be the arbiter of what products should or should not be manufactured, sold, or marketed to children, or to decide what foods are ‘healthy,’ or to tell parents or children what they should or shouldn’t buy,” the letter states. It goes on to note that “food products are not inherently dangerous or inappropriate — all foods may be safely incorporated into a balanced diet .”
Sounds like everyone is trying to pass the buck.

I recently got the chance to check out developmental toy company, Edushape’s new toy line.
One of the toys that stuck out for me was the Mini Edu-animals.
These animals are building blocks with a twist. They are soft and bendable so that you child can manipulate them and lock them together easily. Included in each set of blocks is a family of animals that attach to the regular blocks.
While I like that they are bright and cute, the part that impressed me the most is that they smell like Vanilla. Yes, Vanilla - and no you can’t eat them.
In order to reduce that plastic smell we all hate, the company has the blocks treated with a light vanilla scent. It is subtle, but nice.
Each set includes a 28-pieces of soft, adorable zoo animals and blocks.
Designed for children 12 months and up
