<p><em>Saturday Night Live</em> star Bill Hader and his wife Maggie Carey welcomed their second daughter Saturday and named her Harper. Harper Hader (love the alliteration!) joins a elite group of celeb babies with the same first name. David and Victoria Beckham, Neil Patrick Harris, Tiffani Thiessen, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Lisa Marie Presley all have daughters named Harper.</p>
<p>This English name, of course, reminds us of <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em> author Harper Lee. It means harp player. (How sweet!) And it appears to becoming more popular. The name came in 54<sup>th</sup> in 2011 on the Social Security Administration’s Top Baby Names List followed by Alexa and Makayla.</p>
<p><strong> What do you think of the name Harper? What are your favorite baby names?<br />

<p>The Peg Perego recall includes older models of the Venezia and Pliko-P3 strollers manufactured between January 2004 and September 2007. They pose entrapment and strangulation risks.</p>
<p>Infants younger than 12 months of age are at risk of injury if they’re not harnessed. An opening between the stroller tray and seat bottom allows a child&#8217;s body, causing their head and neck to get caught by the tray. Only strollers with a child tray and one cup holder are part of the recall.</p>
<p>The recalled Peg Perego strollers were sold at retail stores including Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us from January 2004 through September 2010. You can find the model number on a white label on the back of the Pliko P-3’s seat and on the Venezia’s footboard.</p>

<p>If you own one of these recalled strollers, stop using it immediately and contact Peg Perego for a free repair kit. Call the company anytime at (800) 734-6020, or visit its website at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://pegperegousa.com/ca-en/babyproducts-site">www.PegPeregoUSA.com</a>.</p>
<p>The Kolcraft recall includes Contours Options LT Tandem strollers, which can pose falling and choking hazards. The front wheel assembly can break, resulting in a fall. Detached nuts pose a choking hazard to young children.</p>
<p>There have been six reports of front caster wheels breaking and two reports of the basket’s support screws and nuts detaching. The recalled strollers were sold at Burlington Coat Factory, Amazon.com and Target.com between February 2012 and July 2012. This recall includes all Contours Options LT Tandem strollers with the model number ZT012.</p>
<p>If your stroller is part of the Kolcraft recall, stop using it immediately and contact Kolcraft to receive free replacement wheels. If your stroller was manufactured in January and February 2012, you’ll receive replacement nuts for the basket support screws. Call Kolcraft toll-free at (800) 453-7673 between 8 a.m. and 6:45 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. ET Friday, or visit its website at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.kolcraft.com/">www.kolcraft.com</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xothebump.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/promo-2.gif?w=650" /></p><p>Movies, TV shows, boy bands &#8212; you never know what&#8217;s going to inspire the hottest new baby names. We predict these unusual monikers will move up the baby name charts because of their pop culture ties.</p>
<p><strong>Arya</strong></p>
<p>We think this Persian name will experience a huge jump in popularity thanks to <em>Game of Thrones.</em> On the show, the character Arya is a daughter of a ruler and was raised as a boy (and sword fighter!) when she was separated from her family. Arya means “friend” and “faithful.” (Pretty, huh?)</p>
<p><strong>Blue</strong></p>
<p>Beyoncé and Jay-Z caused quite a stir when they chose this name for their baby girl, but the color trend has been going strong with celebs for a while. Kelly Preston and John Travolta have a daughter Ella Bleu and Alicia Silverstone and Christopher Jarecki named their son Bear Blu.</p>
<p><strong>Niall</strong></p>
<p>Pronounced like <em>Nile</em>, this Irish name (it means “cloud”) is experiencing an increase in searches due to blond heartthrob and singer Niall Horan of boy band One Direction.</p>
<p><strong>Gatsby</strong></p>
<p>We think surname of the main character of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel is sure to rise in popularity when the film debuts at Christmas. It definitely will help that Jay Gatsby will be played by everyone’s favorite leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio.</p>
<p><strong>Halcyon</strong></p>
<p><em>Crazy, Stupid, Love</em> actress Beth Littleford adopted a baby girl in March and named her Halcyon. The name is derived from Halcyone, a mythical kingfisher bird that calmed the seas.</p>
<p><strong>Django</strong></p>
<p>This is the title character of Quentin Tarantino’s next movie about Django Reinhardt, a Belgian jazz guitarist who adopted the Gypsy nickname meaning “I awake.”</p>
<p><strong>Sybil</strong></p>
<p>People are starting to forget all about the ‘70s movie <em>Sybil</em>, where the title character (played by Sally Field) has multiple personality disorder and instead are getting inspired by kindhearted nurse Sybil Crawley of <em>Downton Abbey,</em> bringing back this ancient Greek name.</p>
<p><strong>Rue</strong></p>
<p><em>The Hunger Games</em> are everywhere, especially when it comes to baby names. Rue used her survival skills to befriend Katniss in the Games. Name your daughter after this clever tribute, and she’ll be the talk of the playground.</p>
<p><strong>Grayson</strong></p>
<p>This English name means “son of the grey-haired one.” The Grayson family on ABC’s <em>Revenge</em> is the inspiration for this unique boy’s name. But there are plenty of other Graysons in pop culture, such as the bachelor-turned-family man Josh Hopkins plays on <em>Cougartown.</em></p>
<p><strong>Primrose</strong></p>
<p>Forget Lily or Rose. Instead, try this (yes, another) nod to <em>The Hunger Games. </em>Primrose was chosen as a tribute, but older sister Katniss volunteered to save her sweet-natured sister.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xothebump.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/promo.gif?w=650" /></p><p>Moms, we know you’ve been checking the baby bottles you buy for that “BPA-free” label. Pretty soon, you may not have to.</p>
<p>Tuesday, the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2012/07/17/2012-17366/indirect-food-additives-polymers#p-3">U.S. federal government</a> announced that baby bottles and sippy cups can no longer contain the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA). The decision was made after The American Chemistry Council asked the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to make the ban, so starting in October, it will be unlawful to sell baby bottles with BPA in them. However, currently manufacturers say they haven’t use the chemical in bottles and sippies in years, and we’re guessing all the bottles you see in the store are marked BPA-free.</p>
<p>So, what’s so scary about BPA? Some researchers believe ingestion of the chemical disrupts the reproductive and nervous system in babies and young children. Other studies suggest exposure to BPA can cause behavior problems and childhood asthma. But chemical makers stand by the belief that the chemical is safe for food and drink uses. The FDA says it hasn’t found proof that humans are negatively affected by BPA; they’re spending $30 million on studies to further test the effects of BPA.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the BPA ban? Do you double-check baby’s gear to make sure it’s BPA-free?</strong></p>

The newest member of the Grammer family was born Friday in Los Angeles and weighed in at six pounds, two ounces. Faith Evangeline Elisa Grammer is Kelsey’s fifth child and Kayte’s first.</p>
<p>“We are thrilled,” the couple told <em>People</em>. “Mother and child are in excellent health.”</p>
<p>The birth of Faith shadowed somber news from the family. Kayte was expecting twins, but miscarried her baby boy earlier in the pregnancy. The couple previously miscarried in 2010.</p>
<p>“A glorious birth with a lingering sadness is ours today. We choose to celebrate the life that has been given us. We proudly introduce our Faith to the world today looking forward to the days ahead and children yet to come.”</p>

A friend of the singer told the UK&#8217;s <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/lily-allen-pregnant-again---1136208"><em>Mirror</em></a> that Lily recently had a three-month prenatal visit and everything looks A-o.k.</p>
<p>“Lily has started telling her friends and everybody in her close circle is so excited for her,&#8221; says the source. “It was a surprise but Lily and Sam are thrilled. The pair of them have loved every minute of ­parenthood so far and wanted to expand their brood quickly. So it’s great timing.”</p>
<p>Lily and her husband Sam Cooper wed in England last summer while she was pregnant with daughter Ethel, who&#8217;s now 7 months old.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re especially happy for Lily since she&#8217;s gone through some tough times. In 2008, she suffered a miscarriage when she was dating British musician Ed Simmons And in 2010, she lost another pregnancy after battling a viral infection at six months.</p>
<p>On Twitter, Lily wrote:</p>
<p>“Thank you for all your congratulations today. I honestly couldn’t be happier. Such an honour to be on the list!#Timestop50tweeters.”</p>
<p>Congrats to the family!</p>
