Nicole & Joel Ensure Harlow Has All the Toys a Baby Needs

February 26, 2008

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are already battling criticism that they've been going out on the town too much since Harlow's birth, but the happy new parents certainly looked like they had baby in mind out shopping in LA over the weekend. Not even going to comment on her being back in the skinny jeans already, sigh. At least you can't deny that Nicole and Joel still look adorably in love. Also curious about what Miss Richie thinks about the Paris/Benji relationship. I kinda feel like Nicole would be less into the "we could be sisters-in-law" thing than Paris. Really though, I'm with you guys — wanting to see those Harlow pics, please.

Of course they were selling the photos fashionhore! Now we'll wait and see if you have to bite your tongue about the whole "giving the money to charity" thing. Something tells me you might ;)

I can now bite my tongue, and I am, at my remark about knowing if they would sell the photos. I should've looked on People.com before posting that!

Nicole lost her pregnancy gorgeousness, but the panda is freaking adorable.

For the people who are concerned about her weight - the article states that because she is nursing she has had to eliminate many foods due to Harlow's sensitive system. It says there is so much she can't eat because of this. Somehow I doubt she's consuming alcohol and caffeine yet eliminating milk.

I think the only safe thing we could criticize Nicole for regarding her child and going out so much is is she having too much caffine and alcohol (if she is even drinking alcohol) to mess with her breast milk. Other that that issue, I think it's safe to say that we don't know what goes on behind closed doors and we shouldn't be judging her parenting skills.

Crystal made a great point. Isla and Naomi are not followed around like Nicole is. I watched that thing on Nicole from the Tyra Banks show and it was crazy how many there are surrounding her. I would not subject my newborn to something like that. And do we even know if they are trying to sell their baby pictures to any tabloid? I think they wouldn't have a problem getting any amount of money since this is the most sought after baby this year (to which they would prob. give it to their charity).

crystal i was the same my mom and all her mexican ways wouldnt allow me to take them out, unless it was for a doctors appointment

I think Nicole is followed around more than Isla or Naomi. Also some mothers don't take their babies out of the house much until they are a few months old. I didn't take my son out much until he was 3 months. So to each their own as long as the baby is cared for I'm not sure what the big deal is.

I agree that they need some time on their own, it's just that I've never personally known any new mother ever that left their child at home every time they left the house... I can think of other new celeb mothers who aren't selling their baby pictures (Isla Fisher, Naomi Watts...) and who had no problems with taking their new born little one out and about, paparrazi or no paparazzi.

She is looking thin already, didn't she learn anything from all those pre-baby doctors appointments. You need to weight a bit more to have the energy to keep up with a little one. Well, I guess not if you have a staff to take care of her.

i agree they need there time alone, ha ha i was just dragging out the christina post, i will stop here, every new or old mother need time away from there children, mommy and daddy need alone time too

yes, why are these two talked about? someone needs to tell nicole and whatshisname there's more to parenting than buying toys.

XpsX, Nicole's boots are Balenciaga! If I were Nicole I wouldn't bring Harlow out in public at her age either. Nicole is literally hounded with no space for her to even walk around. Does anyone remember Britney Spears almost dropping Sean P. because there were too many paps around? That is scary to a mom, I am sure. And as for them going out, who's business is that but their own? As long as they have their priorities straight and care for the baby when they are home, should it matter? You don't have to be attached-at-the-hip to your children to be a good parent. Going out with your sig. other sans baby is probably healthy for their relationship and for the baby. Keeps everyone sane and happy.

I'm sure she'll be just as skinny as before. And say that it's because of "breastfeeding and chasing Harlow around" when really she just has an eating disorder.
