Babies and Us



Not Babies R Us…It should be Babies and Us because we are completely different creatures. One step into that store and you feel like you are walking into the Mos Eisley Cantina (Star Wars reference)…Everyone’s voice raises a few octaves, the pace of travel slows to a crawl and all colors fade into a pink or blue abyss.

And the Pièce de résistance… the bottle section- They have about 30 different nipples! No joke, about 30 different colored, textured and shaped nipples. What is a guy to do? Do you go for the soft and perky or the calm and contoured? Thank goodness I wasn’t there with a bunch of guys; I probably would have left in tears.

One other worthy observation- the marketing of these products is incredible. Every clever brand name has packaging that showcases the world’s cutest and happiest baby. You have no choice but to associate each item with pure bliss. I am jealous. Aside from a perfectly baked chocolate chip cookie, this level of satisfaction is hard to attain.

A few of my favorite brand names- Butt Naked Baby, Dana Undies, Happi Tummi and bumGenius.
