Nap Nanny Recliners Recalled

Portable baby recliners that are supposed to help fussy babies sleep better are being recalled after the death of an infant.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall Monday of 30,000 Nap Nanny recliners made by Baby Matters LLC of Berwyn, Pa.
CPSC says it’s investigating a report that a 4-month-old girl from Royal Oak, Mich., died in a Nap Nanny that was being used in a crib. The child was reportedly found hanging over the side of the foam recliner, caught between the Nap Nanny and the crib’s bumper.
The agency says it is aware of 22 reports of infants, mostly under 5 months, falling over the side of the Nap Nanny despite most of the babies being strapped into the harness on the recliner. The Nap Nanny is not meant to be used in a crib and instead should be placed on the floor away from other products, CPSC said.
The Nap Nanny was designed to mimic the curves of a car seat — elevating a baby slightly to help reduce reflux, gas, stuffiness or other problems.
The recliners were sold at toy and children’s retail stores nationwide and online from January 2009 through this month. They cost about $130.
Consumers should contact the company to receive new product instructions and warnings and in certain cases, a coupon toward the purchase of a new Nap Nanny.

WEDNESDAY, July 21 (HealthDay News) — Many women who’ve had a Cesarean section may be candidates for vaginal birth in future pregnancies, say new guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
“These guidelines emphasize again that a trial of labor after Cesarean is an important option for most women,” said one of the authors of the new guidelines, Dr. Jeffrey Ecker, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Currently, almost one in three mothers delivers by Cesarean in the United States, according to the study.
More recent studies have supported the idea that many women can successfully deliver vaginally after having had a Cesarean, explained Dr. William Grobman, another author of the new guidelines and an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.
In March, a National Institutes of Health panel came to the same conclusion and said that a Cesarean delivery in the past doesn’t mean a woman must automatically have one in subsequent pregnancies

MONTGOMERY, AL – Pertussis, a highly contagious and sometimes fatal bacterial disease, has increased alarmingly in the past decade according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.
Pertussis is commonly referred to as whooping cough.
To help provide protection, all students 11 and older entering the sixth grade in Alabama schools this school year are now required to have a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine.
Each pupil 11 or older who enters the sixth grade will be required to have a new certificate of immunization. This is because of the change from tetanus-diphtheria (Td) to (Tdap) vaccine.
