All Scoops by Carolyn Sutton in Every City

Hallmark has just introduced a line of personalized baby announcements, and they’re surprisingly void of cloying pastels and animal critters. Plus, they’ll address, stamp and mail them directly from the Hallmark website. Nice.

Good Taste From Hallmark?!

Drop-side crib recalls are par for the course these days, but today's big news was a voluntary recall of 82,000 cribs by Pottery Barn Kids. No wonder the CPSC has voted to basically ban the sale of all drop-side cribs, a measure that will likely go into effect next year.

Even The Drop-Side Cribs From PBK Are Sketchy.

Pampers is in the midst of rolling out a new version of its Swaddlers and Cruisers diapers. The new "Dry Max" diapers are 20 percent thinner than the old-school version, and according to Procter & Gamble, their "driest diaper ever." While Pampers is planning to go public with the new "high performance" technology in conjunction with the upcoming Olympics, they've been quietly introducing the new version in select markets—in the old packaging. The result has been a lot of confused and angry moms grumbling on Facebook and Diapers.com about the "flimsy" new diapers.
