Reading these just makes me laugh…No one really knows the situation behind Ryan and Ethan. They don’t speak to the media about their relationship as some stars do. We don’t know everything that Uma did during the relationship. Not to say she DID do anything…”WE” just don’t know. Ryan and Uma may actually get along, who knows? So,everything is complete speculation. No one really knows the context of these pictures…In NYC, the sling is a GOOD idea.I do see parents/nannies walking around on the sidewalk with their kids in strollers. NYC pedestrian central.I HAVE seen children accidentally bumped into in strollers. You have people darting in and out of foot traffic all the time not paying attention. Maybe she lives around a corner from D’Agostino’s. Maybe she’s grabbing something quick. I must say there’s bodega closer to my front door than where grab my mail in my building. “We” don’t really know.

awwww….. so cute!!! Also, I love the print or embroidery on Ryan’s top.

COMMON MYTHS

* Going without a hat in cold weather causes ear infections – No, ear infections are not caused by going without your ears covered, or by cold/rainy weather. The middle ear most often becomes infected from bacteria that travel up the eustachian tube from the throat. However, exposure to cold/wind may make your ear pain worse when you have an ear infection.

Myths

* Going without a hat in cold weather causes ear infections. Ear infections are not caused by cold weather, or by not wearing at hat in cold weather.

There is no basis to the commonly held belief that wearing a hat will prevent ear
infections.

Now I repeat not wearing a hat does NOT cause ear infections BUT it is good for sun exposure.

How can a virus or a bacteria enter behind a closed ear drum to infect your child’s ear simply because you don’t wear a hat? Couldn’t it theoretically get in from under the hat?

This poor woman can’t win for losing. I’ve never seen such judgemental comments for when she *gasp* brought her baby out to get diapers! So if the baby “looks tense and anxious” then she’s a bad mother and doesn’t know how to take care of her baby? And somehow you KNOW that the baby “looks tense and anxious” because she’s cold (even though you’re looking at a picture from an instant in time)? If Clementine does look that way to you, what if it’s because it’s feeding time? What if she has a dirty diaper? What if she just farted? Clementine may have been sleeping in her sling all afternoon, snug as a bug in a rug, then woke up, Ryan took her out of the sling, someone snapped her picture, then maybe NOW she’s going to do a list of things that WE don’t know she’s going to do….change the baby, feed the baby, put her in the carseat or stroller for a nap, put a blanket on her, put some pants, socks, and a hat back on her that may be in her diaper bag…….I can’t stand it when people are so judgemental when they don’t have the first clue as to what she’s BEEN doing, what she’s doing NOW, what she’s GOING to do, and WHY she’s doing it. Drives me nuts. Just enjoy the picture for what it is. Clementine and Ryan look fine to me…They’ve survived for 5 weeks!

So cute, time flies. Great picture, but obviously does not show everything. She probably has two to three people with her, so no reason to criticize her choices.
1. She does have a sling on her.
2. Not wearing a hat does NOT cause an ear infection. Old wives tale.
3. She is carrying a black bag/tote on her right arm that probably has diapers/essentials in it.

yes, he admited he cheated with the waitress while he was up in canada filming.

We have hats with a UV sunscreen over here so I dont think hats are useless,there is wind,sun,noise and so forth and ear infections can happen due to not wearing a hat among other reasons of course but babies should wear something on their heads fairskinned or not.

Summer or winter a hat is a must to all of my kids

Earinfections are very rare over here among other things and I lived in the US due to being married to a soldier and I have seen things that in Germany noone has even heard of.

Anyways I wish you all a wonderful weekend from rainy Germany.

Jenny, if you look once more you will clearly see Ryan does have a brown sling over her shoulder. So saying she doens’t have sling while she has and the picture shows it, I dont really know what you mean. Also, they were out with other people, most likely someone else had a stroller as well

The thing we have to remember is that often times, these photos don’t show the whole story. Ryan could have an entire entourage out with her, and we’d never know because the photo is focused on the two of them. She could have a stroller with her that’s out of frame — the caption does state that she was out with Ethan and Levon, so maybe they were holding a stroller (just speculation, of course) or whatever extra accouterments necessary for a 5 week old baby? Maybe she’d just lifted Clementine out of the sling to let her get a little fresh air and sunshine? And I mean, that’s probably the likely explanation (that this shot doesn’t show the whole story), because think about it: how often do you go out with a baby without carrying some kind of bag with you to house all the essentials for taking a baby out of the house? (Diapers, wipes, blankets, bottles/pacifiers, spare set of clothes, etc. infinity.) I just don’t think it’s really fair to negatively speculate on the baby’s lack of…whatever you feel is necessary, thereby indirectly criticizing Ryan and her parenting skills, when the shot clearly doesn’t tell the whole story.

That’s just the generic, dime-a-dozen .02 from an internet observer.

i also wanted to add, during the summer months, if you wear a baby in sling like that, they can get pretty hot quickly as they are they are tucked into that fabric without a ton of air circulation around the body and pushed up against your body.

that’s why when i used a sling in warm weather, i always just dressed my daughters in onsies.
