Conventional car seats require some unnatural twisting and stretching to get a child's butt into them. Your body gets used to this awkward motion over time, but what if it didn't have to? The Evenflo Gold Revolve 360 takes the strain out of child restraint with a seat that swivels 90 degrees, allowing you to easily plop your little one in, fasten their harness, then rotate and lock the seat into position. 

A select few biological parents have managed to complete the process, including one British couple, Metaish and Manisha Parmar.  Pictured: Nurse Antonina Yefymovych feeds a surrogate-born baby inside a special shelter owned by BioTexCom clinic in a residential basement, as Russia's invasion continues, on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine on March 15

2. Go to Similac's recall website, and enter the Lot Number. The site will tell you if it's been recalled. You can also call 800-986-8540 to find out. Or, if you'd rather check manually, your formula is part of the recall if all three of the following are true: 

In reality, once your baby arrives, the products you spend hours agonizing over aren't going to be as important as you think they are. Babies really only need a few things (food, clothes, diapers, a safe place to sleep), and every baby is indeed different, with different preferences. Are any of these items truly necessary? No. That being said, here are 10 baby purchases that ended up being key to my parenting journey, that I wish I had known to register for instead of buying in a panic on Amazon in those early weeks. 

Meanwhile, although New York City lifted its indoor mask mandate on March 7, newly-minted health commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said Friday that masking public school children under five in the city is 'indefinite at this point.'

A government source said the aim is to tackle universities cynically offering degrees as 'silly' as 'David Beckham studies' while knowing they are unlikely to lead to better career or earnings prospects for young people.

'We should be encouraging more students to do T-Levels and apprenticeships - in contrast to most students who go to university and do not get good graduate jobs despite the great whacking loans they take out.'

While masks will no longer be required inside Los Angeles Unified School District buildings, students and staff will receive PCR tests through the end of the school year, and at-home rapid COVID tests will be provided to students and staff 'for baseline testing prior to the beginning of the 2022 Spring break'

Bottom line: It's unlikely that your baby will get sick, even if you have been using one of the recalled formulas. The recall also doesn't include liquid formulas or metabolic deficiency nutrition formulas. But if your baby is experiencing any of these symptoms, you should contact your health care provider immediately. 

The headrest is easily adjustable via an easy-to-find yellow lever on the top. Meanwhile, the seat feels well padded with soft, breathable fabrics, which are said to use recycled materials. The upholstery removes easily and is machine washable.

Car seat companies are constantly innovating and finding new ways to add versatility to something as seemingly basic as a seat. Most infant car seats are made up of a base and the seat itself, which can detach easily for use as a carrier or click into a compatible stroller. But the Maxi-Cosi Coral XP one-ups the competition with the ability to separate a third way for an even lighter wearable carrier. 

No matter what formula you use, you should always follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's instructions for proper preparation, handling and storage. This includes washing your hands before preparing formula, and using prepared formula within one hour from when feeding starts.

Most California school districts lifted their masks mandates earlier this week, although San Diego Unified School District will wait to drop their mandate until students return from spring break on April 4.

'People who have tried to predict what's going to happen in the future in this pandemic have repeatedly found egg on their face, as they say, and I'm not going to do that here today,' he said at a COVID briefing in Queens on Friday.

Really, the point here is to register for more burp clothes than you ever could have imagined. Our baby is a frequent spitter, and we have burp clothes strewn around the house at all times. These Hanna Andersson ones are nice and soft, and slightly larger than the Burt's Bees ones that I had on my registry, for about the same price.
