So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Items to Look Out For in Baby Accessories

By Gill Nera


Baby accessories are pretty and cute and most are actually very cheap. This is why most moms buy them in hordes. However, parents at times are oblivious to the fact that these accessories toys and clothes may contain dangerous chemicals and parts that can simply put your baby in danger of choking or poisoning. This is the reason why it is really important to research about a product first prior to buying and to be sure that the baby accessories that you are thinking about buying are actually age-appropriate to your kids to ensure they are safe always.

Harmful chemicals such as lead and mercury are found on things or products which are painted like cribs, mobiles, high-chairs and toys. It is really important to check the brands of toys and accessories that you purchase for kids and to buy only those that have contact numbers and addresses to somehow make certain you can make them responsible if anything happens. Always look out for signs of lead and mercury poisoning such as lethargy, convulsions and anemia and take your baby to the closest doctor if you see something suspicious. Some other substances that may be present in painted accessories are melamine, arsenic and cadmium. Food, clothes and some other might also have these hazardous substances.

Small pieces like buttons, zippers and beads are something you needs to be cautious about since these could get dislodged anytime and can result in choking. Also watch out for hoodies that have strings to adjust the sweater. These have been known to cause strangulation. A few baby accessories have removable parts and that you need to be careful and fasten them properly to make certain that your child does not pry and loosen them. These could cause choking.

Other things to watch out for are those which have been recalled by customer protection agencies as well as the FDA. These agencies utilize the highest standards in all consumer items including these baby things. One of the newest to get the ire of these consumer protection companies is the Bumbo chair, for instance. It is said to have caused skull cracks in several kids and is found not too safe for use with small children.

It is extremely essential to examine about the items that you are going to purchase to avoid putting your kid at risk with items that are not made with the highest standards. Kids are very sensitive to these chemicals and are susceptible to these item defects and should be protected by their parents by properly selecting which items will benefit them the most and which won't. Numerous of these things can be fatal if you are not watchful. Kids depend on their parents to keep them protected and away from harm?s way. Be sure that you exercise excellent judgment in purchasing baby accessories to provide to your children and other people's kids. Also, although some brands are reliable, at times, it is not an assurance that a product is completely secure for use. Always put these in mind to guarantee your kid's safety.
