[blparent] squeaky baby company

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Babies are like Tigger.  Their tops are made of rubber, their bottoms are 
made of springs.  Okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but they're 
amazingly flexible and resilient.  They fall, your heart goes into your 
throat, and they bounce back up, usually laughing.  Mine has fallen too many 
times to count--when she was young, it was because she was learning to 
crawl, then walk, then run and climb.  Now half the time it's because she's 
too busy spinning and twirling and jumping to look where she's going.  But I 
can't stress enough, kids don't usually hurt themselves the way adults do, 
especially if you act calm about it when they fall and don't rush over 
freaking out as if the world is ending.  Now of course, you have to treat 
very tiny babies carefully, but once they're moving by themselves, you let 
them figure it out.  When they tip over, you smile and say, "Uh oh!  Bounce 
back up!"  or, we said in our house, "No blood, no foul!"  Unless they cry 
in obvious distress, that's the end of it.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may 
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at 
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Hi,

quite honestly I wouldn't waste the money on these.  Your baby will just
take them off and they'll just become something else you have to kaep track
of.  Regarding the hard floors, they won't be a problem for crawling babies
as long as the floors kept clean.  I had a few heart attack moments when
they started walking, but hard floors are the best kind of floor to learn to
walk on and no perminent damage was ever done even though my kids fell with
astonishing regularity.

Hi all, has anyone used the products called squeaky baby knee pads? They
are knee pads a baby can wear while crawling that squeak when they move.
This company was on the sharks about a month ago. The Sharks didn't much
think of the idea but I thought it might be good because we have hard
floors throughout most of our house and I could hear the baby squeaking as
she crawls. If anyone is interested, here is the web page:

Thanks for  any thoughts.
