From Laura K. Lawless, your Guide to French Language

Only - Not Only
There are two common French equivalents for the restrictive "only" in English: seulement and ne... que. These two terms mean essentially the same thing, but seulement is an adverb of quantity while ne... que is a negative adverb, so they're used a bit differently - learn more.

Nouveau vs Neuf
English speakers sometimes find it difficult to translate "new" into French. Read this lesson to learn the difference between nouveau and neuf, and you won't have any more trouble saying new in French.

Baby Products

Newborns

Infants 3-12 Mos.

Toddlers 1-4 Yrs.



From Heather Corley, your Guide to Baby Products
There are several recent baby products recalls that you should be aware of. Sometimes when a product is recalled, it's safe to use it while you wait for a repair kit. A few of these recalls pose enough danger that you should stop using the product immediately.

Britax Chaperone Infant Car Seat Recall
The harness adjuster on some Chaperone car seat models can break, which could allow the child to be improperly restrained in a crash.

Aveeno Calming Comfort Baby Lotion Recall
One lot of this type of baby lotion is being recalled because tests showed a higher than allowed amount of bacteria in lotion that had already been shipped to stores.

Bugaboo Bee Stroller Recall
The swivel wheels on this stroller can lock up while in use, which could allow the stroller to tip.

Ikea Antilop High Chairs Recalled
A problem with the buckle on these high chairs can allow a child to fall out and be injured.

Here are some great ideas for healthy breakfasts, lunches, and snacks for kids.

New School Lunch Rules to Improve Nutrition

Ideas for Quick and Healthy After-School Snacks
When kids get home after school, they are often ravenously hungry.
