Nursing tops that make baby smarter?
A UK company called GROE Baby (stands for Growing, Recognising, Observing, Exploring) is offering nursing tops for moms that aim not only to be fashionable and allow for modest public nursing, but also to stimulate a newborn’s brain. The signature nursing top has black and white spirals over each breast and at the center of the chest. According to the site, while we look at the spirals and see this:

EEK! Can that really be good for the baby? If so, I would guess our nipples would come patterned like that in the first place.
I side with Pamela over at Exceptional Marriages: Let’s not make enforced multitasking for babies the new trend. Just let ‘em nurse and zone out at will. We can always freak out about their early education when they hit the toddler years and chase them around the house with flash cards.
