Baby Products that can make you Giggle… or Laugh Uncontrollably

Obviously with Baby M on the way, DH and I have been browsing through websites and baby items. When I was pregnant with the other two kiddos I didn’t use resources like the internet to find much stuff (actually, I didn’t do baby registries or anything with them really). DH Cam and I have been finding some really interesting things. Some of it has made us raise an eyebrow while others have left us laughing so hard my stomach starts hurting and tears come to my eyes.
My sister and I came across the following item when I was pregnant with Lil’ C. We didn’t end up purchasing any then, but I have a feeling they are going to show up for Baby M.
Have you ever changed a baby boy? If so, then you know how it goes. I still remember the first time Lil’ C “sprinkled” during a diaper change. It shot UP and over his head, beyond the couch (where I was changing him), and some went directly into his face. He shuddered in shock and I couldn’t help but crack up.
DH: “Extreme recycling. ‘Nope baby. You can’t have the real deal right now. Here, take some recycled product I have left over. We’re not wasting a drop.’”
Don’t get me wrong, I understand storing breast milk for use later. Say, when you’re out somewhere with no privacy, or in case you have a babysitter for a rare moment out, or even a super helpful significant other who offers to cover a feeding in the middle of the night for you. I just don’t think I’d be real keen on walking around with the milk catcher in my bra. Then again, it could really cut down on either the disposable nursing pads, or laundry for washable pads. Hmm.
Hooter Hiders Nursing Cover
I’m suddenly thinking of Shakespeare (specifically… Romeo and Juliet): “What’s in a Name?”
Yes I was super immature and started laughing when I saw the name of this product. “Hooter Hiders.” *shaking my head* I’ve seen “Nursing Covers” amongst other names. You know, names with some “tact.”
Okay, so it was entertainment for a sleep-deprived Momma Hen the other day.
DH Cam’s take on this: “I can see it now. I’ll take Baby M into the bathroom to change him. I’ll block the view of him laying on the table, pull out a staple gun and a diaper. Then I’ll take the staple gun and hit it against the changing table but the people around will think I used it to close the diaper.” Me: “And the way babies scream bloody murder during diaper changes anyway….” Uncontrollable laughter ensues. DH: “I want to put bungee cords in there too. So I can attach them to the diaper and make the bungee cords suspenders.”
