Okay, so if you have read my post about sleep and babies you know that parents have tried almost everything to get there baby to fall -- and stay -- asleep. (I should say as I write this that my daughter is sound asleep in her car seat which has been placed on a device that swings the seat. I don't know why babies like this -- it would make me puke). Now that a friend has shown me
this -- I'm pretty sure that no parenting product can surprise me anymore.
The copy of the ad is a slick combination of confusing and frightening:
If you've ever wished for a hand to leave behind so that your baby would feel as if you've never left the room, your prayers have been answered with the Zaky.
No I have never wished for a dis-embodied hand to leave with my child. Who would ever wish for that? Why don't I just stick a horse's head in her crib and call it a night?
That's disturbing.
ReplyDeleteHaha Seriously creepy.
ReplyDeleteAlso, agreed that the baby swing gives me motion sickness just looking at it.
