Now I am not a dumb dad so I can figure a few things out:
"Sling" refers to a toy I used to play with. The sling-shot, so therefore, a "peanut shell sling" must be some sort of device moms use to shoot things with (obviously peanuts) and to what? well, probably baby. Maybe it's a game moms play. "Hit the baby with peanuts". Sounds silly, bur if mom is staying at home, maybe this keeps her from getting bored.
"Fuzzi Bunz" had to have been created in the early 90's (since they replaced the S's with Z's and the Y with an I). My guess is that this is a form of treatment cream. "If your baby has a rash that gets so bad it's growing fuzz, you need Fuzzi Bunz!"
"Hooter Hider", ok so most guys know that hooter references more than vocal noises of owls. It's kind of a no-brainer. It must be a way to cover a particular part of the body, so simple reasoning would say that this is nothing more than a bra.
Finally the "woozit". Otherwise known as a "What-cha-ma-call-it", "Thing-a-ma-jig" and "Doo-Hickey" which goes to show that it has many purposes because they cannot decide on a name that tells us what it really does. Therfore, it slices, dices, fries, blends, cleans, buzzes, shakes, twists, bounces, makes dinner, cleans the garage, takes out the trash and helps us sleep. Everyone needs one even though nobody has a clue what to do with it.

Fuzzi Bunz.

a Woozit.
Research shows that my assumptions are 100% inaccurate and 90% funny.

Ha, ha, ha! I consider myself somewhat of a modern mom, and I have never heard any of these terms!
I'm with Kristi! I have no idea what any of those are...
Wow! I guess since Heidi has been researching and found these things, I thought I was the one who knew little.
Just out of curiosity, did either of you use the "peanut shell sling" to shoot peanuts at an of your kids?...
Isn't it crazy what "they say" we should have and need to bring a baby home from the hospital?! I had heard of the fuzzi bunz, but was not sure about the type of sling you mentioned or the woozit (that one actually frightened me a bit!). You are already a great daddy, and will continue to grow into that role each day! Congrats to Heidi, for all the research she is doing! Have a fantastic day, my friends!
