Debuting Baby in Bed

babysugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:00:07 -0700

Who wouldn't want to see the twin babies of the world's most famous (and arguably handsome) couple? In an effort to shield their families from the often times aggressive paparazzi, some celebrities have taken to selling their infant's first shots to major magazines like People and Life & Style so they can control the environment. In doing so, many fresh faces are seen in calm and peaceful settings, the latest hot spot being the bed. Our girls at CasaSugar may drool more over the celebmama's home decor than their newbies! However these star parents choose to debut their babies, we all appreciate their offering them up for our viewing pleasure. Whose style do you prefer most?

Does a Dad Deserve to Know That His Baby Is Being Born?

LilSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:00:11 -0700

Does daddy deserve to know mama is headed to the delivery room? Due to relationship strains, many moms-to-be opt to labor without their ex present. That may have been the case earlier this week with actress Kelly Rutherford. The father of her two children -Hermes, 2, and baby Helena - Daniel Giersch issued this statement.

I was never informed by Kelly about the birth of our daughter, nor was I invited to attend. In fact, I found out about it through Internet reports like everyone else. Although this sickens me, I am of course overjoyed that our baby was born healthy. I would've wanted nothing more than to hold our newborn daughter for a few moments, and I only seek to coparent both our children responsibly and with love.

Giersch said he was supposed to be informed by text or phone. Do you think a father should be informed that his offspring is on the way?

Kelly Rutherford Battles Ex on Son's Safety Around Home Pool

babysugar — Thu, 21 May 2009 08:00:47 -0700

All a youngster needs to hear is the words, "swimming pool," to dash in and slip into a bathing suit. For parents, an open body of water means entertaining the "what ifs" that can cause stress and panic. Even well skilled wee swimmers fall victim to tragedy in an unsupervised pool.

Gossip Girl's very pregnant Kelly Rutherford is in a battle with her estranged husband, Daniel Giersch, over pool safety at his residence. Concerned for her 2-year-old son, Hermes' safety, the actress went as far as hiring a private eye to tape her ex's home for three days to illustrate the danger his uncovered pool poses to their young son. In court documents, Giersch said:

Hermes is not in any danger whatsoever with regard to my pool because I have the pool fully covered with an automatic pool cover. Hermes has no access to the pool area unless I take him to the pool myself.

Would you allow your child to stay or visit a home with an uncovered pool?

Actress Kelly Rutherford is still breastfeeding her son, Hermes, 2, despite being pregnant with a second child. The 40-year-old says she will continue to nurse him as long as it feels right. Some health professionals advise weaning a tot once the mama becomes pregnant with another, while others say there is no reason for it.

Did you (or would you) continue to nurse while pregnant?

Readalicious Gets Kids Reading!

babysugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 14:00:36 -0800

During my LA jaunt this past weekend, my babe and I were invited to attend the Jayneoni Moore's Readalicious event in Century City.

Readalicious is a campaign that promotes early reading and benefits less fortunate children living in economically disadvantaged communities – those without the means to foster environments for reading and self learning.

Each child who attended the event was given a new tote full of fresh books while celebs read an assortment of classic books and modern tales. The tot texts were provided by Kane/Miller Publishing, Blue Apple Books and Simon & Schuster.

And since no wee event is complete without pizazz, the children also enjoyed cookies, chocolate milk, balloons and bubbles to their fullest.
