A new doll that mimics breast-feeding is coming to the States.  Some argue that the doll makes little girls grow up too fast while others think it’s the best way for a little girls to connect with their mommies.

Called “Breast Milk Baby,” the doll sold in Europe through Berjuan Toys for $89 allows children to imitate the act of breast-feeding by using a special halter top that comes with the toy.

The commercial shows a little girl, probably around 7 or 8 years old, putting on the halter top, which is from a colorful material with two flowers positioned where nipples would be. When the doll’s mouth is brought close to a sensor embedded in the flower, the baby makes motions and sounds consistent with suckling.

As a breast-feeding mom, I am huge advocate for promoting rights for breast-feeeding moms and believe that this may grow the popularity of breast-feeding, but a breast-feeding doll geared for girls seems a little too much!

Little Mason Dash is almost two years old and mom Kourtney Kardashian still has insecurity issues about her post-pregnancy body….really? could’ve fooled me, Kourt looks amazing as she graces the June cover of Shape magazine.

“I think everyone focuses on their stomach,” the 32-year-old reality TV star says “After you have a baby, especially, you’re like ‘Will my stomach ever get back to how it was?’ And I don’t know if my stomach will ever look the same.”

But how does she do it??  “I have to get up at 7 a.m. every day, before everyone else, leave Mason in bed with Scott, and go for a run,” Kardashian tells Shape. “Thirty minutes of cardio is right outside my door. My arms already look good from carrying a 25-pound baby around.”

“I use only organic foods for [Mason], and it made me think about what I put into my body too,” she says. “I couldn’t sit around eating cookies and expect him to eat vegetables. I’ve discovered I really liked eating that way.”

As you know, I love reality TV, but since being a mom it has became more and more difficult for me to kick up my heels, drink a glass (ok, bottle) of wine and watch my favorite tv shows, but since getting connected with Verizon FiOS a few months ago, I have been able to watch it all and blog whenever and however I want, unlike those other cable companies.

My friends at Social Moms joined forces with Verizon FiOS (TV and Internet) and wanted to hear from Moms on ways Verizon FiOS has made a difference for us Moms.  That’s easy, where would MOMMY POSH be today without Verizon FiOS? nowhere, fast! Verizon FiOS has made it easy for me to become your everyday resource for all things POSH.


Here’s a few more reasons why Verizon FiOS has become a life saver in our home:

 

  1. VERIZON FIOS HAS COOL APPS:  I can’t live without my gadgets, I rely on my iPhone, iPad and PC for all things mommy related, so when I learned that Verizon FiOS has launched a remote control app, I just couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be a Verizon FiOS Mom and Mommy bloggger. Verizon FiOS Mobile Remote, not only controls your TV, but you are able to manage your DVR from ANYWHERE! So there are no excuses to miss that show that everyone is talking about because you are cleaning baby spit-up.
  2. MULTI ROOM DVR:What would I do if I wasn’t able to tape the programs that I am sure to miss or shows that are just inappropriate for my toddler to watch with me? Once again, that’s where Verizon FiOS comes in, I am able to watch it all with its Digital Video Recorder (DVR) during my leisure in the bedroom while my husband watches another show in the den (where the DVR is located).
  3. HIGH SPEED INTERNET: Moms are expected to do it all while stilL looking POSH, so with the help of Verizon FiOS and its high speed connectivity I am able to write my post, upload family photos, pay bills and look for the latest recipes in record speed lighting.
  4. SOCIAL MEDIA WIDGETS: I can easily stay connected with my Facebook friends and update my Tweets with a click of a button.  My husband would say that the Sports Widget is his fav. New widgets seem to appear everyday so its hard keeping up with this awesome tool. You have to see it to believe it!
  5. VERIZON FIOS HAS SPROUT ON DEMAND:   When the weather is bad or we are just having a lazy Sunday, Verizon FiOS “On Demand “is a mom’s best friend.  My toddler loves anything on Sprout TV and now with a click of a button, my toddler can watch “Nina and Star”, “The Wiggles” and even “Sesame Street” 24/7.   Verizon FiOS new motto should be called “24/7 television”….Verizon folks are your listening???

Don’t have Verizon FiOS and looking for 100% customer satifisation (ok, that’s another reason) then look no further, just connect with Verizon FiOS to see if it is offered in your neck of the woods!

The CEO of Baby Phat, Kimora Lee Simmons, 35, is under a lot of scrutiny these days, not for being a mother, wife and entrepreneur, but for her new svelte figure.

“Six months ago, I was a size 10…and now this other story is throwing sensational salt on me, saying that I’m anorexic!” says Simmons about her 25 pound weight loss.

“That story quotes me as saying ‘I don’t eat.’ Well, I had said, ‘I don’t eat bags of Doritos and cheeseburgers like I used to,’ but the writer ended the quote at, ‘I don’t eat.’ That’s irresponsible reporting. It really upset me because it’s not at all my message, and I want people to know that. I’m first and foremost a mother and a wife, and I’m raising three kids.” Simmons continues saying.

This month, Simmons is set to launch her sixth fragrance called, Luv Me, a fruity floral scent that is targeted to 16-to-24 year olds.  Simmons hopes to send a positive message to young women facing peer pressure or social injustice.

As for the 25 pound weight loss that sparked the eating disorder rumors, Simmons says a good old fashion change towards healthier eating and more exercise is what gradually did it for her. Simmons reveals it took two years worth of lifestyle changes after having son Kenzo Lee Hounsou to accomplish the feat.

Need to feel refresh in the a.m. and coffee just isn’t cutting it? well, look no further, as there is a “magic” pill said to be “better than coffee”.

Cathy Beggan, a mom of three from New Jersey, developed the “Wake Up On-Time” pill because of her own need to be more alert in the mornings.

Trust me, at first I was very skeptical. But after reading all the buzz about this product, which is catered to sleep-deprived mothers, I was on it like white on rice.

The pill contains energizing blend of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12 and guarana-seed extract. It’s formulated with a coating that releases ingredients into your bloodstream toward the end of your last sleep cycle, so you wake up feeling clear-headed, not fuzzy.

Say no more! This I had to try.
