Maybe it’s a fond flashback from when JFK JR. would fart then force her head under the covers.

@girl: my understanding is that it is NOT legal to pay someone for their breastmilk (in the US). I read an article, I think it was in Oprah magazine a couple of months ago. This woman had triplets, and she pumped while they were in the NICU. Unfortunately, all three babies eventually died (I believe without coming home). She ended up donating the milk to a milk bank, but I thought it said you couldn’t sell.

My understanding was that those milk banks were only for people with medical issues, and that the milk specifically could not be sold to the highest bidder due to a lack of resources that some people desperately need.

Other than that…Gross. I’ve worked with kids since I was twelve. I was a very in-demand babysitter, and I still change a diaper at least twice a week (a lot for someone not in childcare or with children). I have never enjoyed doing it. It is only varying degrees of grossness. Clean babies smell good though.

I have donated breatmilk before (and have actually wetnursed at the request of the mother under dire circumstances, very strange experience). I think that there is a big fee for it because if you go through a donor bank, they pasteurize it (usually after it has been pooled with 1 or 2 other mother’s milk).

It is way, way expensive but there are some babies that have no other option.

I am not sure that it is legal to directly pay someone for donor milk. I have never been compensated (but I have never wanted to be those babies desparately needed the milk).

I’m laughing so hard at some of these posts I think I’ve wet myself. Oh look, here comes Sarah Jessica Parker. Wait! What are you doing? Get off me you freak!

Ummm, I know what she means…a tiny baby, who has only had breast milk, diaper newly ‘used,’ does have a sweet, warm scent. Maybe only your very own baby, for anthropological reasons, but-yeah, I totally get it!
Later on though..gahhhh!

I think she’s just dreaming. When is she actually around to feel a nice warm wet diaper and pass it off to the nanny?
She’s a twit. She and Matthew Broderick are pretentious idiots who name their kids pretentious, ugly names that will get each kid’s ass beat in the school yard some day. They’re way past Prep and YUP stages, they’re just plain yukky!

My eyebrows just disappeared into my hairline reading that headline.

I have been grateful for a warm, wet diaper myself a few times, but that was because my son had been seriously dehydrated and it was a difference between him being healthy or being in NICU.

Normally though, I am very happy he’s mastering the potty.

Oh what a waste of talent! Such a great cast, but a good script seems to have been unavailable by filming time. Just another stupid crank-em-out Hollywood situational rich-jerks-out-of-water “comedy”.

My theory on the big nose: it’s the only part of her body she can’t starve smaller. I love her as an actress, so I wish she would stop it with the over-the-top body self-torture. It’s getting to the point of dysmorphia… doesn’t she realize what she’s starting to do to her main acting tool? It won’t matter that you can wear designer sample sizes in your movies and photo shoots when people cringe when they look at your gristly face onscreen. What a waste of comedienne genius!

The dumbest thing I ever read from SJP was in a Harper’s Bazaar interview, where she said that she came home to an empty house after a party, couldn’t unzip her Alexander McQueen dress, so SHE CUT HERSELF OUT OF IT. Yup, that’s what all the regular folks do with their couture gowns, right after they eat cake.

@ girl… Paying for donor milk? I’ve never heard of that! Does this really happen??

Regarding nursing, SJP is definitely not breast feeding. Her babies were delivered via surrogate. Although it is possible to take hormones to lactate, the fact that SJP is in Morocco and her babies are in NYC definitely proves there is no breast feeing going down in the Broderick house. Unless they hired a wet nurse! Maybe they will hire surrogate parents to bring the girls out and about… oh wait, the uniformed nannies….

original kate: Are you dissing my skillz?? No, you’re right, Febreeze doesn’t help. You just have to move the stinky pail to the bathroom and SHUT THE DOOR. Only then, will freshness prevail.
