Here’s what’s up at SantaRosaMom.com this week:

Baby Maxwell

Baby-kinis send public over edge
Jessica Simpson found herself at the top of the gossip mill over a photo of her baby in a tiny crocheted bikini. While some deem it an adorable style choice for the newborn, others are up in arms that she’s “over-sexualizing” her baby daughter. What are your thoughts?

Pottying at restaurant table
One of the most controversial subjects I came across this week was about the mother who was pottytraining her child in the middle of the restaurant. We’re talking totally nude toddler doing her business while those around her were eating. There was a wide range of reactions to this, some understanding and some totally appalled. Where do you stand?

Baptism gifts?
A mom is about to attend a baby baptism and wonders if this is a gift giving event, and what’s appropriate. Share your opinion and tips with her.
