New Dr. Seuss book to be Released!

Dr. Seuss long ago passed from the scene but old manuscripts by the beloved children's author keep turning up.

Random House Children's Books said Wednesday it will publish a recently discovered manuscript with Dr. Seuss sketches, called What Pet Should I Get,on July 28.

The publisher plans at least two more books based on materials found in 2013 by his widow, Audrey Geisel, and his secretary in the author's home in the ritzy seaside neighborhood of La Jolla in San Diego.

The author, whose real name was Theodor "Ted" Seuss Geisel, died in 1991 at the age of 87.

According to Random House, when Audrey Geisel was remodeling her home after his death, she found a box filled with pages of text and sketches and set it aside with other of her husband's materials.

It was rediscovered 22 years later, in the fall of 2013, by Audrey and Claudia Prescott — Ted Geisel's longtime secretary and friend — when they were cleaning out his office space.

They found the full text and illustrations for What Pet Should I Get?, among other work.

Seuss lovers were excited at the news.

Safe bumper free bedding from Skip Hop!

One of the most commonly asked questions that we encounter from parents is whether or not to use bumpers in their baby's crib.  I mean, they're so darned cute and they keep babies from getting trapped between the slats of the crib or bumping their cute little noggins, right? Well, it's not quite as simple as that. We talked with our resident expert Annie Mullens, fromWee Plan Baby Planners, to get the straight scoop! Annie told us that a study in The Journal of Pediatrics found that 27 children from 1 month to 2-years-old died from suffocating or strangling related to bumpers between 1985 and 2005. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that parents not use crib bumpers, including so-called breathable models.   In fact, last April Chicago became the first municipality (or any governmental unit for that matter) to ban the sale of crib bumper pads.  In addition, the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has enacted regulations set to go into effect June 21st of this year that will ban the sale of crib bumpers within the entire state. So what's a parent to do who wants to create the adorable nursery they've always dreamed about, yet still meet the latest safety recommendations?  The answer to that is Skip Hop's Complete Sheet bumper-free crib bedding.  The available patterns make the sheet look like a bumper so it can feel more like a traditional crib set, but without the possible hazards.  They also have optional sleep sacks, decorative blankets (not for in the crib!), and wall decals.   Problem solved.  Safety and Style combined.  Thanks Skip Hop!

Lillebaby goes international!

Real Baby is excited to announce that our friends at  líllébaby  travelled to Valencia, Spain last week to help in launching the amazing líllébaby COMPLETE carrier in Spain and throughout Europe!  . If you haven't seen this carrier, you must! It allows you to carry your baby on the front (facing in or out), back and side - all while maintaining a healthy hip position for your child and with incredible comfort for the parent (check out the Lumbar Support). Also, because of the structured neck support, you can carry an infant without a bulky insert. LOVE it!

Travel Tips 101!

We all know that flying and traveling with our children can be one of the most stressful times for a new parent.  I can remember standing in the airplane bathroom with my new daughter, screaming her head off, trying to console her on a flight home to visit family.   We all have our tricks.  For some, it's small new toys brought out in intervals.  For others it may be hand held devices, iPads, books or lap tops.  This couple on a flight home had a plan to take care of the whole flight and not just themselves!  Great Idea!
