Five Facts About Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus

Salma Hayek Breastfeeds Sick Baby on UNICEF Trip
One child around the world dies every three minutes from a completely preventable illness — tetanus. A recent ABC news report followed actress and producer Salma Hayek to Africa on a UNICEF mission to raise awareness for tetanus in partnership with Pampers. Salma stood bedside with a young mother as her seven-day-old daughter, Fatima, took her last breath.
Mommy Bloggers and UNICEF Unite to Wipe Out Tetanus
As mothers, it is our instinct to help those we see in harm's way — the fallen child on the playground, the lost lil one in the supermarket or the tot running toward traffic, but it's hard to assist those that we do not see, people who struggle just to survive. At the Pampers Mommy Blogger Event earlier this month, I had the great pleasure of meeting Caryl Stern, the President and CEO of the US Fund for UNICEF. She is both an inspiring woman and a mother of three who is committed to wiping out tetanus, which killed 140,000 babies and 30,000 mothers last year.
Mommy's Lil Helper: Pampers Indicators

Mommy Bloggers Get Pampered

When Proctor & Gamble invited me to be their guest at a mommy bloggers event in Cincinnati, I kept an open mind, but knew the two days could end up being a corporate panel of suits trying to push us to peddle their wares on our websites. Curious to see why they were summoning women of the web and which, if any, environmental practices the company had adopted, I boarded the plane.
Which Diapers Are Best?
When I was laid up on the couch for the first few weeks of my baby's life, I watched more television than I could imagine. Much of it was background noise, but somehow the barrage of detergent and diaper commercials had me questioning the brands I bought.
I still buy a variety of brands (sometimes what's on sale) and I'm not sure which one I like best, but I do have a few favorites.
Wee Are the World: Salma Hayek Spokeswoman For Vaccine
Salma Hayek knows the importance of being vaccinated especially now that she's a new mom to lil Valentina. She signed on to be the spokeswoman for the "One PackOne Vaccine" program that provides tetanus shots for African and Asian mothers and babies in need. According to UNICEF, tetanus kills 140,000 infants and 30,000 women each year.
