There are a lot of “baby cams” on the market, offering many ways to keep watch over your child when you are out of the room.

The safest place for your baby to sleep for the first 6 months is in their own sleeping area beside your bed, according to the Royal College of Midwifes — and so Little Green Sheep in the UK is offering “a safe alternative to bed-sharing: The SnuzPod bedside crib.”

Thanks, Lewis H.
Hi Lewis,
I think Atalie (Natalie with no N) is actually a beautiful name.
Hi Jennifer,
I have been playing around with grandparent names. My grandmother’s name is Myree. She pronounces it like Marie. My mom has said several times it should actually be pronounced My-ree. For the longest time, I thought it was just an odd spelling.
