Is Your Baby Using a Killer Crib?

In the United States, thousands of cribs from Graco and Simplicity were recalled last week after the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said that both brands were linked to several infant accidents and deaths.

Based on a news report, the government also issued a warning that babies could strangle or suffocate from the ‘hardware failures’ of the cribs from the said brands.

Apparently, the dropsides of Graco wooden cribs were easy to detach or break. Once detached, a gap is created between the dropped side and the mattress. If caught in the gap, there is a high risk that the baby might suffocate. The brand has received 99 complaints but none of which involved serious injuries.

As for Simplicity however, CPSC reports that their full-sized cribs have tubular metal mattress-support frames which are easy to bend and detach. As a result, the mattress can collapse and the baby can roll into the space and be trapped. They also noted that this brand’s cribs and bassinets have been linked to thirteen infant deaths.

Infodose thoughts: Mommies, you ought to be very careful when choosing stuff for your baby. Do your research on the internet and search for recalls and other issues. Moreover, do not leave your babies unattended even when you think they are safe in their crib. There should always be somebody to watch over your precious one when she is awake, playing, and exploring her crib.

Repetitive Laughter and Exercise have the Same Effects on the Body

Repetitive laughter and exercise have the same effects on our body - this was the conclusion reaped from the study conducted by researchers at the Schools of Allied Health and Medicine of the Loma Linda University. Researchers found out that like moderate exercise, repetitive laughing also lowers one’s stress hormones, boosts the immune system, lowers blood pressure, brings down your cholesterol level, and promotes positive mood. This study was based on tests wherein changes in blood pressure, hormone levels, and endorphins were monitored before and after participants of the study were exposed to humorous and upsetting videos. It will be presented in this year’s Experimental Biology Conference. Infodose thoughts: If mommy can’t make it to the gym or to her yoga class because her schedule is tight with office work, household tasks, and parent-child bonding time, then she just has to make sure that she gets a good laugh in everything she’s engage in.
