September is Baby Safety Month!


This month marks the 25th anniversary of the Juvenile Products Manufacturers’ Association (JPMA) sponsoring of Baby Safety Month - to bring public focus to an important issue. This year, the JPMA is focusing on car seat and booster seat safety.

When it comes to your baby, every safety issue is critical - from having a child-proofer help make your home a safe haven for you and your baby to having essential safety gear available when needed.

Look around. Plan ahead. Learn first aid and CPR. Leave your child with a competent, trained babysitter. And, of course, check out SafetyMate for the New Parent - which in a most timely, well-placed debut, is launching this month!

Be the ROCK STAR at your next baby shower and give the gift that shows you care!

No instruction manual? Are you kidding me?!!


I’m curious…what are the main fears parents have when bringing their newborn home from the hospital?

I’ll throw a few items out and I’d love to hear back from different members what your thoughts are.  Feel free to add others.

1. Will I know what to do?
2. Basic care issues (diapering, feeding, sleep schedules)
3. Medical concerns/First aid issues (what if baby stops breathing? what if baby falls? what if baby has seizures? what if baby is allergic to something and has a reaction?)
4. Will I ever be able to leave my precious baby with someone else? (competent babysitters, spouses, grandparents, etc.)

I am sure there are more. Please comment. I’d love to get your feedback.

Exciting happenings!


SafetyMate continues to grow and expand its presence the Safety market. It has been such fun to develop an innovative product for which no current product category existed. In the past year or so, people in the industry now know about SafetyMate and  ”Emergency Information Refresher Devices.” As we continue to develop our product offerings, we will become better known among consumers in the retail market. I can’t wait to unveil what we’ve been working on!!! Stay tuned…

What to do when memory fails?


I certainly don’t think memory failure is just a “senior” problem. Studies over the years have validated time and time again that CPR retention rates are poor. Even for families who have incentive to remember CPR and First Aid skills, memory lapses and panic get in the way of not only parents, but teachers, co-workers and even medical professionals. Unless you encounter problems or situations regularly, the skills to solve those problems disappear.

I used to be a whiz at algebra. Haven’t used it since High School. If my nephew asked me to help him with his homework, I am certain I would look blankly at his paper.

We have been teaching CPR methods for 40 years yet survival rates have remained in the 5% range. Is memory / skill retention the problem? Perhaps. Any experiences dealing with memory lapses and / or panic? What did you do? Did it affect the outcome?
