I don’t know if this is happening to any of you out there, but suddenly, everyone I know is having a baby. Which means I’m looking at one baby registry after another. Honestly I don’t mind, I love buying baby stuff. It’s so little and cute. But lately, I’ve noticed that the stuff people have on their registry is *next level.* Now, everyone gets wipe warmers… so the wipes that touch the baby’s butt aren’t cold. There’s toy subscriptions for infants, so your baby’s mental development stays on track. They even make these mini dishwashers just for baby bottles. What else will they think of?? The baby industry is worth over *$358 billion dollars.* I me an, things have come LONG way. But it was always like this, it used to be *way* simpler. But does that mean it was better? Turns out, there is a shocking history behind baby products I had never heard about. Many products that were marketed to parents to *help* their babies actually ended up seriously hurting or even killing them. And with new baby products popping up every day, I’m wondering… are we doomed to repeat the past? I can *not* wait to hear your thoughts on this one - whether you’re a parent or not. Welcome to the Dark History of Toxic Baby Products! I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

Hi bailey, I work at an ice cream shop and have learned a lot about ice cream since. One thing I've noticed is how often black people buy our butter pecan flavor and I googled why it's so popular in that way. Did you know that butter pecan ice cream was made because during the segregation period, black people were often denied vanilla ice cream because it was considered "too pure" for them? I would love to see video on the dark just of ice cream because it gets deeper than just that.

I had four babies, and they really don't need expensive stuff. Clean clothes , clean nappies, and somewhere cosy to sleep. Breastfeed or bottles equal happy babies ❤❤❤
