Headgear for “special” parents

baby head gear

For too long babies who had plagiocephaly were the only ones who had to wear headgear.  They were “special” babies who needed to have a little help to make sure their head shape turned out normal as they grew.

Now, thanks to a new product on the market, “special” parents can put their babies in headgear too.  The Thudguard ensures that their babies will not lose brain cells bumping their heads against furniture like everyone elses babies; in a sense leveling the future playing field one fall at a time.

Jon’s Illegitimate Son!

The MEP Report is first to report on this exclusive.  Sources have discovered that Jon, of Jon and Kate plus 8, has an illegitimate son.  Most news reports have covered Jon’s affair, and others have picked up on his new girlfriend (way to waste no time at all, Jon…).  However, MEP report contacts have informed us that the affair was not just a one night stand!  “I could have handled that,” said Kate to a friend, “a simple affair would have been fine…but when I heard he had another child, making his total nine to my eight…I just couldn’t stand for that.”

MEP Report photographers have acquired this exclusive photo.
