Hello,
Babies R Us gave us a free Babytalk and American Baby in their gift box and I have to say that Babytalk is much better, even without looking at all of the negative letters to the editor in your magazine. I couldn’t find a way to write a letter to the editor easily like I could on the letter to the editor page of Babytalk. Your magazine pushes bottles, vaccines, and expensive needless things like the classifieds – what a waste of paper! The article about cookware said nothing about the health dangers of using nonstick teflon cookware ( http://mercola.com does) and the article that said vaccines are fine and not dangerous in groups (Top 10 Worries of New Parents, with the
horrendous picture of parents looking horrified at the baby) was extremely misleading ( http://mercola.com and many other well-documented websites). You constantly assume that our babies sleep in cribs and we work outside the home, completely ignoring the happy stay-at-home mothers who call their partners “husbands” and have a family bed, and nurse their children to sleep instead of trying everything else at bedtime. In the article about storing toys, nothing was mentioned about giving toys away and teaching generosity and sharing to children! I can’t believe the mother who wrote an article about her breasts also chose to show them to the whole world, as if we are teenage boys. At this point, all that this issue is good for is tearing out pictures of babies for my daughter, then throwing it in the recycle bin.
