Baby Freebies

Jessica Alba has revealed how she shed the extra pounds after giving birth to her first baby Honor last June.

“I wore a girdle,” she tells the February issue of Elle magazine.

“Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack.

“She told me to put an elastic band around my waist – any kind of band or girdle works.

“She was like, ‘I slept in it.’ I didn’t recover as fast as she did. I don’t have a six-pack – that’s just not my body at all.”

Elina Zhao yawns in the arms of mom Fang Zhao in spite of the excitement caused when she was born in the backseat of a cab.

New York’s Finest met its newest Tuesday, when a group of cops helped deliver a baby in the backseat of a cab in Brooklyn.

Elina Zhao came into the world in a car after her mom, Fang Zhao, 30, started screaming on her way to the hospital. The panicked taxi driver flagged down two cops while two more arrived to help.

“The cab driver almost ran into us to get our attention,” said Officer Kerryann Douglas.

The Stephenson family is attempting to pay forward all the kindness they received last Christmas when their 10-month-old daughter received a new heart.

Kaidence Stephenson, now 22 months old, was born healthy in February 2007, said her mother, Shauntelle Stephenson. But in August, the Bountiful family learned Kaidence had a serious heart problem. On Dec. 23, 2007, a heart from another child was placed inside Kaidence’s chest and began beating for her.

“Words can’t express your feelings,” said Mike Stephenson, her father. “Your child is going to get a chance at life, while at the same time grief washes over you, because a poor family had to lose a child so yours can live.”

U.S. regulators are planning more research into a controversial chemical found in many plastic products, including baby bottles, indicating they have no immediate plans to curb bisphenol A.

A letter signed by a Food and Drug Administration official, released on Monday, stated that the agency planned “a large research effort,” with studies lasting years that will assess the effects of the chemical, also called BPA, in laboratory animals including rodents and monkeys.

Consumer advocates condemned the regulatory agency’s refusal to take steps now to curb the use of bisphenol A, a chemical used for decades to harden plastic products.

Going against the Hollywood trend of ‘unique’ names, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber have come up with a very simple moniker for their new baby Samuel Kai Schreiber. The star and partner Schreiber welcomed their second child, a son, on Saturday just 16 months after the pair’s first son, Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete.

Watts and Schreiber met on the set of the 2006 drama The Painted Veil and have been together ever since, reports Couriermail. Despite it being obvious that the star was pregnant, no confirmation was given until her fianc?, Liev Schreiber, spoke about it in an interview earlier this month.
