Britney says baby Sean is "doing fine" after being dropped on his head

I vote for the former.

I mean REALLY...no parent has that hard of a time adjusting. I don't care WHO you are.

Seven months into it, you should be doing something right. And G-D knows we all make mistakes in parenting...I still do. But to drive away with my child not in their carseats, or to not sit down for five f***ing seconds to give them a bottle? It's neglect...no matter how you try to spin it.

Apparently the rumor was that Britney and Kevin were not even at their home when the 'accident' happened. Which raises a couple of questions:

1. Where were they?
2. Where is the nanny cam?

Because I don't care how qualified and how glowing your references are...I will watch you 24/7, like a hawk, to the line of stalking if must be.

It sounds like the problem is LAZINESS, which, in this case, clearly points to NEGLECT. It takes work to be a parent - duh! We all have to do it, even when we don't feel like it, even celebrities!

If that was you or me and we pulled hafl the crap they have pulled with that baby. DCFS would have taken them from us.

I guess being a celebrity can buy you anything you want, but becoming a caring parent is not one of them.

On a different note (sorry): I think it is nice that Britney is still a little chubby. It is nice to see a celeb that is like the rest of us. You know?

Courtney, I agree. It IS nice to see a normal-sized new mom. But, I have to wonder, being that she has a nanny feeding her baby, obviously unsuccessfully at times, what IS she doing with her spare time? Working on another album maybe?

I have also wondered if she is taking anti-depressants, and that this could be the cause of her weight gain. She seemed thinner not long after the birth of Sean, but looks like she has gained weight since then. I mention this because I suffered a bit of postpartum after the birth of my second child. I was in denial about it for about 6 months. After I started taking med, I packed on about 10 lbs. When I got off the med about 9 months later I dropped most of that weight (I was still heavier than I wanted to be, but at least I knew where the extra 10 had come from).

I want to know what type of chair it was. Maybe Kevin put the chair together and didn't know what he was doing.
About her weight, I think she was told she has to eat more food after having a baby, so she is doing that. But, wasn't told the increase food is for if you are nursing:)

Who cares? Why enable her by paying her attention, which is what this is about--staying in the news.

Sharon, I agree. I didn't struggle with PPD but I know those who have, and it seems pretty consistent with a lot of the press she's received lately. Granted, she's still petite in the real world (probably no more than a size six, I'll bet) but she keeps getting slammed for how dumpy she looks. There have been reports that she's been "in tears" and has been separated from K-Fed with her mom, and her mom told her she "had to stop breastfeeding" for the baby's sake (or something along those lines). Of course these were all weeks and months ago but still...seems pretty likely the gal's got some kind of post-partum issues.

Still, I want to know why the woman refuses to wear a bra or shoes. What a doofus.

I can't believe I'm about to defend Britney Spears, but COME ON. If this is all the evidence against her (perhaps the authorities have more?) she's hardly a candidate for "worst parent in the world." (I used to be a night operator for my state's child protective services, so I can say with a bit of experience that there are people who do far far worse). No doubt, driving without the car seat was really stupid, but as far as the other stuff goes, it's all stuff that could happen to a 100% devoted parent. If looking absent is a crime, then every new parent is guilty. Who out there has really been 100% vigilant? Britney actually might have been acting responsibly by handing off the kid to a caregiver while she mentally checked out. Let's get real about getting dropped as well. A squirmy kid can launch themselves in a completely unexpected direction and yes, get hurt. Nearly every baby gets dropped or has a fall at least once. Unless the parent knows "secret super kung fu iron grip" -- and is awake enough to practice it. Cheers, mjb

I'm gonna come down with mjb on this one and borderline defend good ol' Britney. Mostly because you included that #2 like it's just as bad as either of the other two. You've got mothers all around the country who can't wait to dump their kid in day care as soon as they're able so that they can get back to their careers (which, much of the time, is out of personal choice and not financial hardship). I hardly think that "looking absent" is all that bad a crime when there's plenty of cases of both parents being physically absent.

There is also a vid floating around of her putting him in his carseat facing forward at least once.... she really shouldn't be allowed to raise a child.

And serious about the chair.. if it were true she'd be naming (and maybe suing) the brand. Since she isn't you kinda wonder....

totally agree with mjb and duane. the dropping could happen to anyone - i'm sure she was devastated as any new mom would be; and what's wrong with someone else feeding her baby a bottle?

regarding the carseat, has anyone considered what it must be like to be swarmed by strangers every time you leave your house? i personally would be COMPLETELY freaked out that one of the people in these crowds of papparazzi would grab my baby and run. i think it's horrible to ignore the obvious safety issues, but can't you all just imagine how scary that would be for a minute, and give her a break?

these pictures are usually taken totally out of context, and scrutinized by a media who makes tons of money off of your outrage. i say stop feeding it, and support this new mom like you would any other new mom you read about on blogging baby.

Well I just think that it wasn't an accident. Britney should put a CAMERA ON THAT "BABY SITER" she looks weird. There are alot of casses were baby siters mistread babys. SO PUT A CAMERA ON HER ASS.
