Ask CBB

A number of CBB readers had emailed and commented asking for information on the swimsuit two celebrity babies had been spotted wearing recently –  Suri Cruise, 14 months, in Ferrat, France, and Lola Sheen, 2, at a Malibu beach.

Here’s the dish — the swimsuit is by Eberjey, a women’s lingerie company that has expanded into swimwear and a ‘mini’ line that carries suits and clothing for newborns through 4T.

The particular suit Suri and Lola are wearing is the Little Mermaid Luna 1 Piece inPink/Gold, available in sizes 12 months through 4T. The suit will run you $58, and can be purchased online or by calling 305.260.0087.

CBB Reader Jamie emailed us looking for recommendations for adouble stroller for her 20 month son and newborn baby (ETA January2008).  A resident of urban Chicago, she says she’s definitely acity mom who walks all of the time.  She has an Mountain Buggy Urban(single) stroller but her son doesn’t like it because he can’t fully situp in it- it has a slight incline- so he is constantly pulling forwardto sit up.  Her dream stroller is a twin Bugaboo but it doesn’t exist(although a Dutch company makes a knockoff double, it’s not available in the US).  Her other requirement is that she be able to put a car seat on it.

With the help of Jo, from Let’s Go Strolling, we suggest a number of strollers plus tell you about some other popular models. Pictured above are two of our top picks- the new phil&ted Sport Buggy and the Valco Baby Twin Trimode.

We’ve received several emails from readers asking about soft baby carriers. What are the differences between wraps, slings, and pouches?

Wearing your baby is one of the best things you can do to promote healthy bonding and attachment between you and your little one.  Did you know that babies that are worn cry less and are easier to soothe?  Babywearing is good for baby’s physical, emotional, and mentaldevelopment. Babies who are worn by their caregiver are generally in aquiet alert state, and cry less because they feel constant security.When you’re baby is worn, it can feel your body warmth, breathingrhythm, and hear both your heart beat and your voice, which remindsthem of being in the womb.  For more on why babywearing is great foryou and your baby (and the scientific studies that back it), read Great Things About Babywearing at thebabywearer.com.

There are four main types of soft baby carriers: wraps, mei tais, slings and pouches. All are excellent for different types of carries and or different aged children.
