Those baby & toddler months are full of babies stiffening and arching their bodies, and then...kersplat. I know moms know what I'm talking about. You're trying to change a diaper, and all of a sudden, you have a baby arching up from the changing table, ready to launch themselves. That's why there are straps there, too. You have to use straps and keep them snug! Loose straps aren't any help.

I'd much rather the moms drop the audience and film crew (no offense Sound Man Jim)and just focus on bringing their baby safely into the world with the least amount of problems/issues, stress possible. If they want to sell their exclusive to People, have at it (personally, I'd put it in the baby's college fund). For my family, Jill & Derick not really publicizing Sam's birth and attendant NICU hospital stay is yet another glaring inconsistency that nobody in the family is willing to address. Let's face it, Michelle and JimBob's whole spiel has been about birthing so many children, and Jessa and Jill were more than happy to give birth on camera until Sam. Long time fans are going to notice when a Duggar deviates from their well-publicized normal...and naturally want to know why...and they shouldn't be slammed for asking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-45151584279669329852018-06-12T17:46:49.354-05:002018-06-12T17:46:49.354-05:00I never used the safety straps in my kids high cha...I never used the safety straps in my kids high chairs.

The two opinions seem quite contradictory, yet I'm sure at least some people hold both.

Why couldn't/wouldn't Jill & Derick, Michelle, or Ellie & Lilly just say so and be done with it? It would certainly have put the issue to rest. Instead, it looks like they're hiding something because the Duggar girls have all been very public with their pregnancies and filmed for TV births. Did they really think their fan base wouldn't notice (much less be asking questions)? While they certainly aren't obligated to disclose private information, they've made a living for years disclosing their private lives (you can't much more private than being filmed by a film crew giving birth for the world to see). By not talking about it, they're just fueling the fire and causing their fans to question their honesty/integrity. People who have nothing to hide have no problem discussing.
