Diaper technology has really advanced in recent years; there are "green" diapers, gathered, ones for boys and different ones for girls; there are animals in the front and all around; chartoon characters, disney characters; now first of all, the diapers face the adults who could care less about the disney characters at the 0300 feeding/diaper change. Why don't they have messages for the adults like "only 1 million to go-hang in there"
Ok-what about bottles, and the types of cribs, and the variety of pacifiers; now with phathlates or lead or mercury or other toxins; how is anyone supposed to know--which shape of nipple? how many holes? what shape of bottle and oh yes, we don't want plastic, so glass bottles are better; but which company is better for the environment; how do you sterilize glass bottles?
There are at least 4 stages of baby foods and they come in various jars and sizes and tastes; organic and non-organic (as opposed to synthetic?) --the cereal comes in different flavors, size packages and with different additives to make the babies smarter. Is that really the problem with children today, they aren't smart enough?
Perhaps the real problem is that parents cannot have a baby without guilt that they aren't buying the perfect product for their baby and instead of snuggling and singing lullabies, they need to worry about the equipment needed; mankind has survived quite well all these years.....to be continued.....
