According toPeople, the high-end gift included chenille Giraffe baby blankets, items from the Hermes baby line and other newborn necessities.

New painkiller for infants: Giving a baby a pacifier dipped in sucrose water stops pain during procedures like circumcision. Researchers say the action of sucking sugar water on a pacifier changes neurochemicals in the brain, diminishing the baby's behavioral response to pain.

Results showed 25 percent of parents had positive discussions with their kids about condom use and parents said they discussed more topics on sexual matters with their kids "than ever before."
