Britney Spears Stumbles, Nearly Drops Baby

Britney Spears stumbled outside a Manhattan hotel, nearly dropping her 8-month-old son and further fueling the ever-growing media scrutiny of her parenting skills.


In photos splashed across the front page and inside the New York Post on Friday, the 24-year-old pop star is shown exiting The Ritz-Carlton hotel with Sean Preston in one hand and a glass in the other.


As her bodyguards walked Spears to her car, she stumbled — her long pants apparently getting tangled in her open-toed shoes — and bent low as Sean Preston's head flung backward, knocking off his orange hat.


Spears, though, was able to keep her balance and hold on to her son, with help from a bodyguard, who reacted quickly.


A call to Spears' publicist Friday seeking comment was not immediately returned.


The baby bobble was the latest public incident involving the safety of Spears' child. Earlier this week, she was photographed driving with Sean Preston in a car seat facing forward rather than facing backward, which some safety regulations say is best.


Spears, who recently announced that she's pregnant with her second child, was visited by a sheriff's deputy at her home in Malibu, Calif., last month after Sean Preston slipped from his nanny's arms as she was lifting him from a high chair and something in the chair snapped.


In February, authorities visited Spears' home after photos showed the singer in a car with her son in her lap, instead of being strapped to a car seat in the back seat. She first blamed pursuits by the paparazzi, but later said it was a "mistake."

That reminds me of an Onion headline awhile ago that was something like, "WHITE TRASH WOMAN ASKS: Why do I only drop my baby when other people are around?"

Honestly, I'm no Britney fan but, sweet Jesus, leave the girl alone. The media scrutiny of this is bordering on madness.
She stumbled. I dare you to walk around NYC for a day and not find someone having an accident with their child.

normally, i would agree, singer, but she knows she is going to get crowded by people while out in public yet she chose to carry her baby in just one arm while using her other hand to hold a drink.

hands should be at 10 and 2 on the baby at all times when pressing through crowds!

and here's the permalink from the link cheno gave, so you don't have to scroll.

I did feel bad when I saw the crying pic.

But Jesus, she carries the baby around like the latest Hermes bag. Leave the kid at home once in a while!

This is a non-story. Having children and keeping them safe is a difficult job. It does not seem that she did anything even remotely dangerous and not even negligent. Give the poor WT a break.

We all know how overwhelming motherhood can be - especially being that young, and also a "media darling". Don't you think someone with her financial capabilities could hire a nanny or something? I mean, not that she is uncapable - but a little help would be nice, no?

She might be a believer in "attachment parenting" in which you keep your infants near you all of the time.

[cheezedoodle]

Posted: 5/19/06 at 3:36pm

Ah. If I were a parent I would believe in semi-detachment parenting. That's where you have the child attached 75 percent, and a Vodka Martini attached the remaining 25!

she already has a manny ( a male nanny). she hired him after firing the other nanny involved in the tot's fall out of his highchair.

oh please, she ought to get a f***ing award for managing to not drop the baby or spill her drink. that, my friends, is talent. those who are hatin' on brit-nay are just jealous of her superior skills.

What good could it be doing the baby to be surrounded by that circus?

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 5/19/06 at 3:48pm

yeah, i don't care, i'd still do that trailer park princess six ways to sunday.

[RobbO]

Posted: 5/19/06 at 3:54pm

[papalovesmambo]

Posted: 5/19/06 at 3:56pm
