From Facebook: Bravo @waze! Would love to do a story on this feature ASAP. I know it’s not new… but it is super relevant. We just lost the 22nd baby this summer to a hot car death. Contributing factors in MOST cases: 1) change of routine/fatigue/hormone changes/lack of sleep (aka new parent norm)… 2) quiet, sleeping child in rear-facing car seat that hides the baby from front-seat view (though rear-facing is always safest!) Bottom line… it really can happen to anyone.

From Facebook: What is your kid sleeping on? CEH tested 12 nap mats for flame retardant chemicals. The Good News: 10 were FR-Free! The Bad News: only 2 were ALSO PVC-free. Researchers suggest avoiding BOTH Flame Retardants AND PVC (vinyl) “since vinyl often contains harmful additives.” They also say “Avoid nap mats (with) antimicrobials.” Useful info via Center for Environmental Health https://ift.tt/2kH8bSG

Cleaning up a Teen's Online Footprint via Lifestyle & Parenting Contributor @JillSimonian #FabMomFriday

#Reporter’sNotebook: As a mom of two daughters under the age of 6, I’m already nervous about the teen years — especially because I know social media and online outlets are most likely going to get more invasive and immersive as years progress.

Besides the obvious ‘responsible choices’ parenting I’ll be hammering down my kids’ throats, I figure it always helps to know some tricks from social media…

Overcoming Postpartum Anxiety - One reporters personal story. Via #NewsMom @SandraOsborneTV

I smiled to myself as I clicked “buy” on something that seemed so out of character: A pair of leggings with a space invaders inspired pattern on them. Yep, a grown woman with space invader leggings.

Kellogg's Added Peanut Powder To Some Crackers - How A Peanut-Allergic Boy Made It A Teaching Moment #NewsMomNews via @JulieWattsTV

#ReportersNotebook:

Even though Kellogg’s had announced the change, like many, Marcus was concerned someone might unknowingly feed this once popular peanut-free snack to a…
