Gah! My kids had those Green Spouts cups, because I was trying to be uber safe and avoid plastic! We can’t freaking win! (Nobody has ever had elevated lead levels though, so I guess no harm done in my case at least.)

Peanut is only available on iTunes/iPhones right now. No luck to Android moms.
Love the concept, but hate the name. And feel like it won’t succeed until they get the Android version out. I looked in my area and usage is super sparse. When I look at my own groups of friends, less than half have iPhones, so there’s not actually a group where I would send the invite because I don’t want to leave some people out.
Anon in NOVA says
That CMV one is scary. Is that something I should ask my doctor to test me for if I get pregnant?
Marilla says
Weirdly CMV seems to be a big focus in some countries and not at all in others. I never heard about it from my OB or GP during pregnancy, but friends living in Israel have said it’s regularly brought up. It seems to be especially brought up during second/later pregnancies in terms of not sharing food with your toddler for fear of catching a virus during pregnancy.

that CMV one is definitely scary. I know one person who had it in college (they tested her for it because its symptoms can be similar to Mono as an adult) but I’ve only read it about it during pregnancy as a random cause of stillbirth. My doctor never brought it up.
