OK, so what do you think this is? Yes, yes, that's a baby, but those disembodied hands are pillows that are flying off the shelves in -- where else? -- Manhattan. At least, that's what is being reported in Babble, an online magazine that I have to admit is one of my favorite sites. The idea is that the pillow hands, known as the Zaky Infant Pillow, comfort your baby when you can't be there. It's recommended that you wear the hands around your neck for a few hours before you use them with your baby. You know, so it picks up your scent. I knew at first sight that I would have bought this; my baby had colic, I would have tried anything. In fact, the Zaky pillow was initially developed for hospitalized preemies whose parents couldn't be with them all the time. I totally get that. On second thought, though, it strikes me as, well, more unnecessary stuff. Oh yeah -- it sells for $50. Posted by Barbara Meltz at 11:57 AM
