Paging Dr. Arens: Dr. Miffy Endorses the Tummy Tub

Previously on Paging Dr. Arens:  Dr. Arens partnered with Dr. Oz in an attempt to save a melting snowman.

In this week's episode, Dr. Arens and the evil Dr. Miffy clash once again after Dr. Miffy agrees to endorse the Tummy Tub over Dr. Arens' significant objections on behalf of the practice.

After hours of research, Dr. Arens concluded the Tummy Tub is a crock of horseshit, and perhaps a dangerous one at that. But don't take it from her, decide for yourself.

(if you haven't seen this creepy commercial, do enjoy) 

Dr. Arens disapproved on a number of levels.  First up, this image:

What's up with the baby in the front left?  We think that tub is just two damn warm. Also,WEIRD.

Secondly, Dr. Arens is concerned about the mommies holding their babies heads quite so firmly.

Finally, what up with using your baby to hoist your cleavage?

Dr. Arens consulted with some other colleagues, who felt the Tummy Tub reminded them of something else, something they really couldn't place ...

Right, that's it.

Dr. Miffy bribed Nurse Ski Bear to participate in the demonstration.

Babies today:  Colicky, or just stressed about the economy?

Illustrating Dr. Arens' concern, Dr. Miffy immediately inserts the baby incorrectly into the Tummy Tub.

After several attempts, Dr. Miffy continued to struggle with insertion.

Eventually, Dr. Arens severed the business relationship. Dr. Miffy was just making too many mistakes, and anyway, she had other things to do.

Like turn five on April 6. Happy birthday, Dr. Arens, my beautiful girl.
