Sniffles, fevers, what to do? Oh no!

Whether this is your first child, a new sibling, or you feel you're an old veteran with twins or more, it can still be trying when noses start running, fevers start spiking, and Little One just isn't up to par. Relax, and rest assured, that is part of the deal.


I'd like to share what Teacher Tom had to say about this -- I hope it makes you feel better, at least in spirit!

Recycling Baby Gear

Whether you are shopping for your first baby, your first set of twins, or other siblings, it is possible (and FUN!) to purchase gear used in the Seattle area, without having to spend a lot of time or money.

We are interested in where you go, what you buy and how. Thrift Stores? Stores like Goodwill and Value Village? Or are you a Craigslist or Freecycle junkie?

Tylenol Recall

You may have heard that McNeil Consumer Healthcare (the makers of TYLENOL®) is voluntarily recalling certain lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products that were manufactured between April, 2008 and June, 2008. All products manufactured met internal specifications. However, the company is implementing this recall because during this period, an unused portion of one inactive ingredient did not meet all quality standards. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it was decided to recall all Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products listed below, which were made during this time.

Parents and caregivers who have questions or concerns should contact their child's health care provider or our consumer call center at 1-800-962-5357 (available Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time). Consumers can find the lot numbers on the bottom of the box containing the liquid product and also on the sticker that surrounds the product bottle. The lot numbers of the affected products are listed below.

These actions do not apply to Children's TYLENOL® Meltaways and Junior Strength TYLENOL® Meltaways. The voluntary recall applies only to select lots of Children's and Infants' TYLENOL® liquid products.
