PersonallyI feel like I know this show inside and out, as it doubled as a babysitter for my toddler during my 16+ weeks of morning sickness with my second child. Laying lifeless on the couch, you begin to notice things in a very sinister way. After hours of watching, I began to think, WTF is the deal with Little Baby Bum?
Does anyone else detect an accent? Sometimes I hear American accents and sometimes I hear British accents. So LBB, what are you? Definitely not Madonna or Lindsey Lohan, so make up your mind or is this your definition of being diverse?
Joking aside, Little Baby Bum is not all bad. The show has gotten my son and me through some rough times. Whether it be at home, in the car or on an airplane, my son loves LBB and has even learned a few things along the way. Some of the first words he said and first dance moves I witnessed were because of Little Baby Bum, which says a lot.

We put baby Nadie on the scale. Fifteen pounds, nine ounces! I let out a shout. In less than six months here, she had more than doubled her weight. After measuring her and consulting his tables, the doctor, Marty Levinson, looked at me and smiled.
Brought to us when she was six months old, and weighing only seven pounds, this little girl, we were told, had eaten nothing but sugar water since birth. She was severely malnourished, and severely anemic. Her eyes were closed by conjunctivitis. She barely moved.
But because we were able to get her to America, where the kindness of doctors, friends, and caregivers was abundant, Nadie opened her eyes. What she saw was a small village of loving adults, all holding out their arms. From that moment forward, her thriving had begun.
Down at the orphanage right now, we have a three-year old boy named Bradley. He was brought to us last month weighing ten pounds. Ten pounds? At three? His spindly legs were not strong enough to support him. His eyes were crossed and he seemed dazed. He did not speak. He barely moved.
His birth mother, a young woman in her early 20s, apparently had two other children before him. Both died. She had no means to support this one, and was sleeping from place to place, with no room to call her own. Eventually, Bradley was brought to our gates.
He is not as lucky as Nadie. We scramble to find him formula that is good for him in his condition. There are no doctors easily available. No waiting rooms with toys. No good news reports. Bradley struggles each day, as we employ a full-time nanny to watch over him, change his diapers, try to get him to use his legs.
In addition to Bradley, we have one-year-old Marvin, who came to us with tuberculosis. Marvin is weak and glassy eyed. He has been isolated in a room at our old mission for four months now, due to the highly contagious nature of TB. We took him for tests, got bounced from one hospital to another, and were told the medicine he needed was in a clinic located in the heart of gang activity, which was impossible to reach.
It took weeks until we were able to navigate our way there and get the pills. Now months later, we are told in order to get his phlegm tested to prove he is no longer contagious to others, we must take him to a specific place that is, once again, in the heart of the gang violence and civil unrest. Nobody is willing to drive there.
We have taken a new turn at the orphanage. With the space afforded by the move to the new property, we have decided to create a program specifically for infants under three years of age. In the past, we avoided kids that young, due to the potential burden of diapers, feeding, inability to express their issues, and the need for one-on-one care. We simply were not equipped.

I used to work for DRMS a sub agency of the DLA, Defense Logistics Agency. DRMS is now called DLA-Disposition Serivces, but many people still call it DRMS or DRMO (der-mo). This agency is in charge of getting the most value out of used military items. I have seen used Humvees come through the depots. The program allows the general public at one point to purchase de-militarized items. The program also allows donations to non-profits. I would highly suggest someone get in touch with a Property Disposal Specialist at DLA-Disposition Services and figure out if this program has the ability to help with your need. You could also check with the public part of the program, government liquidation at
So hard to see these young children so malnourished in their young age. My Christmas wish is that like Nadie they all are able to be on the road of recovery. Miracles happen all the time and Christmas is a magical time where miracles find their way and happen. How far have you come for donations for the safety car? I am sure you will get such a vehicle I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas
PS. Gooooooo Lions on Sunday

Gina Ford provides valuable information about sleep associations and the benefits of teaching your baby to fall asleep on their own without things like rocking or cuddling. She also explains that babies can wake up overnight if taught to associate certain things with falling asleep. She mentions that parents may need to consider sleep training should their child have a sleep association, but first check with their pediatrician to rule out underlying issues. This is all very important advice for parents to keep in mind when teaching their babies to sleep. Sleep is a learnt skill and parents need to provide the right environment for their babies to learn.
I hope you found my thoughts on The New Contented Baby Book useful and that you can make informed decisions on the information within the book that you use. As you will have noticed I have some concerns about the content as I feel it could lead to babies not getting the sleep they need. If you feel your baby may be overtired and you need help fixing it please feel free to contact Mylee at Little Big Dreamers today.
sweetest little baby, everybody knows, don't know what to call her but she's migthy like a rose, laying there a sleeping, in her little place, makes you think the angels peeping thru the lace....
my grandma used to sing this song to me growing up. in fact, when i was about to leave for germany with the military she sang it to me over the phone. I want so badly to sing it to her now that she is older and late in her life. I also want to sing it to my god-children.
