If the weather this week is any indication, it’s going to be a c-o-l-d winter, ladies. While cashmere can seem tough to care for around kiddos, there’s no reason you can’t keep a luxe cashmere cardigan at the office or for after the kids go to bed (or, hey, just machine wash in Woolite if sticky little hands do get ahold of it). I like the look of this big, cozy cardigan from Lord & Taylor, available in four colors, sizes XS-XL (also in plus sizes and, allegedly, petites, although I can’t seem to grab a direct link…). L&T was mentioned by readers as being some of the best cashmere in previous discussions over at Corporette, and they’re having a big cashmere sale now. The cardigan was $268, but is now marked to $160. Lord & Taylor Cashmere CardiganSales of note for 3.28.24

As most of you know, I live with my parents right now. They think I should stop nursing. DD is 9.5 months. I don’t want to stop nursing and I don’t see any reason to — my milk production is fine, pumping at work is no problem, and DD climbs all over me wanting to nurse on the weekends and in the mornings. My parents ask me almost daily when I’m going to stop, they call me a “mad scientist” when I prep DD’s bottles for the next day (jokingly, of course, and would say I’m being too sensitive if I mentioned it bothers me), and they occasionally make comments about how the baby would be doing ____ better (e.g., sleeping, napping, crawling, talking) if she were NOT still nursing. Any advice on how to respond? I’ve tried calmly saying I have no plans to stop nursing, I’ve tried saying the WHO recommends nursing until 2 years or until the baby self-weans, I’ve tried saying the pediatrician recommends nursing for the first year, I’ve tried joking that I keep it up because I enjoy eating so much… I guess I’m mostly looking for encouragement/commiseration!
CHJ says
Ugh, buttinsky parents. Honestly, if they weren’t bugging you about this, they would be bugging you about something else. Can you respond, “look, I like nursing. I have no plans to wean her anytime soon. Given everything else that’s going on in my life, can you give me a break and drop this topic? And if you care so much, feel free to wash the pump parts for me.”
(Grand)parents have opinions about everything though. Whenever I’m around my parents or in-laws, I feel like all of my energy is spent trying to ignore their constant “suggestions.”
(former) preg 3L says
Thanks! Totally agreed. Especially a good reminder that if they weren’t bugging me about this, it would be something else.
mascot says
Did your mom BF you or your siblings? My mom didn’t, so she really didn’t understand how it all works. They may not be comfortable with it at some level, even if they can’t articulate what bothers them. My friends had similar experiences. Also, while babies really haven’t changed in the past few decades (or millenium really), parenting styles and baby gear have. My parents are wonderful with my child, but have selective memories as to what milestones were reached when, what their discipline strategies were, how well/ill behaved we were as kids, etc. They are always going to have opinions about how to raise the child. Take it all under advisement and try not to let it be a “big deal”
(former) preg 3L says
My mom BF’ed me for 6 months, and my younger sister for 4 months. She was SUPER supportive about BFing when my DD was under 6 months, but now it’s a whole new issue for some reason.
Jen says
my totally random guess is that they’re concerned about everything else going on and think this is adding to your stress. If you can communicate that it isn’t, I bet they’d back off.
For me…it WAS a source of stress :)
hoola hoopa says
This is what I immediately thought, too. I went through different but similar issues with my mother over me working. My mantra would be “This is something I WANT to do. It’s extra work, but it’s important to me and I don’t mind. It makes me happy to do this.”
Carrie M says
Ugh, sorry you’re dealing with this. I like the other suggestions. One more: it’s cold and flu season. I’m passing on antibodies to DD through BM. When she’s healthy, it makes sleeping/daycare/life so much easier, and I don’t have to miss work to stay home with a sick kid.
Another thought: what about just saying – my plan is to go to at least a year (or 18mo or whatever age / milestone). I don’t want to talk about weaning before then.
Also: you’d have to make bottles for daycare even if she were drinking formula.
I am going to post a link to an article re some of the benefits to BM after 9mo – I find it interesting how the composition of the milk changes over time to meet kids’ needs.
Carrie M says
http://www.netmums.com/baby/sleep/breastfeeding-and-your-babys-sleep
Carrie M says
One other thought: maybe they see you facing so many challenges right now and want to offer help for ways to streamline and make your life easier. (Not that this makes it okay for them to meddle, but at least it may be coming from a good place.) Perhaps just telling them how much you enjoy BFing (the intimacy, the quiet moments, the sense of purpose, etc.) could help them understand that it’s not a burden for you – it’s a joy/privilege/accomplishment?
meme says
[This was meant to be a reply to (formerly) preg 3L.]
I would just politely and directly tell them that’s its your decision, none of their business, and the constant discussion of the topic/criticism is wearing on you, then ask them not to bring it up again. Hopefully they’re not overly sensitive types who will be offended.
(former) preg 3L says
I think this is a good way to put it – that the constant discussion is wearing on me.
Taking time for yourself? says
I am really struggling lately with the fact that I have no time to myself. Mornings are a rush to get out of the house, I work all day, and evenings are a rush to do dinner, bath time and bed time. On weekdays, my husband and I usually relax/unwind in front of the TV (we love our shows!) for about an hour before going to bed. On weekends, it’s errands, grocery store, prepping meals, etc., and family time. I essentially get no “me” time, and am really disheartened by suggestions/blogs that moms need to wake up at 5am to exercise or do whatever before everyone else gets up in order to get alone time. (I really need my sleep). I am talking about real, regular alone time to engage in a hobby (like an outdoor activity, not just exercise) or do things other than run family errands alone. My husband has more work events than I do and plays golf semi-regularly, which leaves even less family time and makes it more difficult for me to take alone time.
How you get alone time, when/how often, and what do you do? How do you balance alone time and family time when you don’t get enough of either?
JJ says
I also need alone time to recharge. And while you don’t want to hear it, right now in my life, my alone time is waking up at 5 am to work out. It was brutal getting up that early at first, but I’m relatively used to it now.
If your husband golfs semi-regularly, I would ask him if he could cut down on that, and give you those 4ish hours to yourself so that you can watch the kids. For me, I’ll designate nap time on weekends as when I get to do what I want. It’s not a lot, but it’s several hours that I can be alone.
Honestly, I just assume that maybe life will calm down some once my kids are older and I will get the chance to engage in more alone time. Until then, I’m making do with that I can for this “season” in my life.
ECR says
I second this. I think hobbies are one of the things I’m sacrificing in order to have a demanding career and a family. Hopefully this won’t always be the case. I’ve had to revise the way I look at exercise. Before I had a baby it was just another chore, like vacuuming or grocery shopping. Now I view it as something good I’m doing for myself that really improves my mood and makes me a better parent. We got an elliptical machine for our place and now the moment my baby’s head hits the pillow at night, I jump on the machine. It has helped me lose some of the baby weight and feel more like a normal person again after the birth.
FVNC says
I feel the exact same way. Sometimes even my exercise time isn’t “me” time, as I often run with baby in the jogging stroller. The weird thing is, this weekend I’m doing something with a friend (just me, no husband, no baby) and I almost feel guilty about taking “me” time, even though I desperately need it. A few weeks ago, my husband took the baby to see his parents for the weekend, leaving me with two full days to myself. I thought I’d miss them at least a little, but it was glorious. Glorious. Wish I had an answer that didn’t involve plane travel.
Pogo says
I don’t have kids yet but the only times that feel like “me” time are when (1) I take PTO and just have a full day off with no errands/chores/etc to do or (2) Husband is away for work so there is less pressure for dinner/errands to happen on a specific schedule.
So if you can swing it, I’d suggest a PTO day every once and awhile to recharge (keeping kids in day care/school/etc) or have husband take the kids to do something out of the house on a weekend day.
Caveat is for me, I only really need these recharge days once a month or so, and I also need to FULLY relax – I’m talking vegging on the couch with a glass of wine, getting my nails done with a friend, etc. If you need relaxation more often, and something like jogging does this for you, I’d agree that waking up at 5a.m. is the way to go. For me, exercise, while nice, is still sort of a chore and doesn’t really feel like “me” time to me.
When I have kids I’m sure my definition of me time will expand to include going to the bathroom by myself (or so I’ve heard :) )
JJ says
Oh, and the occasional business travel is my favorite alone time. I highly recommend it.
ANP says
YES. Love love love business travel. Miss my family (a little) but there is NOTHING like packing up, getting on a plane, and focusing solely on my own needs for X number of days.
mascot says
I get up early to work out or go for a walk at lunch. I also find that I am more relaxed if I do something in my down time other than veg in front of the tv. Reading and cooking are both good for this. We split childcare duties, both of us don’t need to be there for every minute of the bath or getting clothes on. I also schedule volunteering and time with friends and then just put the husband on notice or arrange for childcare. I remind myself that it is quality, not quantity of time that matters for everything- work time, couple time, family time, self time. Once you get comfortable with being protective of your own time and treat it like other time commitments, it gets easier.
ANP says
I hear you, mama! I often find myself in the same boat. Couple of suggestions:
If your husband is going to golf semi-regularly, you guys need to have A Talk so you can balance his me time with your me time.
Would you consider getting a sitter (or even a mother’s helper — younger but responsible kid) who can watch the kid/s for a few hours on the weekend while you take time for yourself? This needs to be seen as an investment in your mental health, not an added cost or frivolous line item in the family budget. I know we all love our kids and want to be around them on weekends (well, sometimes!) but I firmly believe I’m a better parent if I take care of myself first. I’m not above hiring a sitting for a few hours on Saturday so I can knock out a few errands in peace, then get a pedicure. If you have enough PTO, I second the idea of taking a day off here and there while kid/s are in school/daycare.
The other thing is that there’s a lot of pressure (I think) to prep healthy, whole-30-compliant meals, exercise, look like a rockstar and create individual crafts every night with your child. I say pick one of those things (or even none! Survival is good enough). So if you’re spending a lot of time food prepping, consider replacing those homemade meals with some ready-made but still good-for-you stuff from the grocery store. Yes, you’ll pay a little more for convenience but you’ll end up with more time, which is the goal right now.
Chin up. I promise, it gets better — there are seasons to everything.
Anonyc says
I think we are the same person, except DH works more than I do. Not much advice, just an offer of solidarity. I keep telling myself there will be a time when my kids are tweens/teens and want nothing to do with me, and I’ll look back on this wistfully.
I get so little sleep and can barely get up in the morning, so the whole waking up early thing is just risible for me. (Also–already up early with the baby many o’ mornings and it stinks–not once have I said, man, I should use this time at 5 am for me! For sure I go back to sleep; I’m barely functioning as it is and need that 1.5 hours more of shut eye.) What I have done is take a class–last year, pre-baby, I took an intro to religion class that was once a week and very low commitment. I asked our babysitter before I signed up and she was cool staying later on those days. This year I am in a book group that meets about once every month and a half, and it’s lovely. Right now, however, that is about all I can muster.
Meg Murry says
If your husband golfs semi-regularly, it is not out of line for you to have a similar amount of time “off” – whether that means leaving the kids with dad or a sitter.
For our family, what work best is for me to pick a class or group activity, so that I can say “Tuesdays at 6 I go to yoga/book club/pottery class/whatever”. Having a standing 1-2x a week evening off makes the logistics off it much easier, and then my husband and kid have developed their own “boy’s night” rituals.
I’ve also found taking half day vacation days to do something frivolous very refreshing. Or scheduling a doctors appointment or dental cleaning early in the morning, and then taking the rest of the day off to get lunch out, take a walk, window shop, etc.
Remember, family time is more about quality than quantity. I’d rather spend one hour actively doing something with my kids and one hour doing something for me than 2 hours at home with them while they just play with toys and I am cleaning or sitting on the couch with my phone or otherwise near them but not really doing something with them.
Spirograph says
Are you me? Major commiseration. I’ve started taking a regularish day off work every 2-3 weeks. I still wish I had an hour or two more frequently, but it helps a lot. I do swim a couple times per week once baby is in bed (DH wants to veg and play video games anyway so he doesn’t mind staying home). I used to like higher energy and group exercise, but the silence and repetitiveness of swimming laps is more welcome in my life right now. The fact that it’s exercise is a bonus.
Jen says
Dh and I trade off. We have one little one, and one of us takes her on errand runs on saturday morning while the other can do what they want. We also signed LO up for sunday AM swim class, so whichiever one of us is swimming gets to bond with the kiddo and the other gets “me” time. We will be trading off.
For DH, it’s usually work on a project in the yard/basement/garage. Sometimes it’s a “honeydo” but mostly it’s a “honey wants to do.” For me, it’s either get chores done that are driving me bananas undone, OR (and/or) get a pedicure, take a nap, get some babyfree shopping done, etc.
Jen says
Oh, and I travel for work a few times each month so I try and enjoy any airplane rides that don’t have wifi. No wifi = excuse to nap, listen to podcasts, read magazines/books, etc.
Katarina says
I have very little me time, and running errands at least halfway counts for me. Sleep is also a high priority for me. I really miss reading (adult) books. I guess I don’t have advice, just commiseration.
Anonyc says
So sorry you’re getting this kind of needless flack. One less confrontational way may be to say that *your* pediatrician specifically said that *you* should continue nursing. I wouldn’t be surprised if, upon hearing about this situation, your ped would be happy to provide some kind of support, orally or written (that it is beneficial and recommended across the board; that it makes no difference in sleeping/eating/motor skills/etc.). Another point to make is that given the tumultuous events you and DD are experiencing, maintaining this key bonding activity is all the more important to you and her.
I’m less sensitive and more blunt, so I’d probably go direct. This tactic depends on your relationship with your folks, generally and now that you’re living with them. But I would address it directly–next time they give you grief about nursing, I’d bust out something like, “I know you think I should stop nursing because you keep bringing it up. I do not agree, and I will continue nursing as long as DD and I want to and her pediatrician approves. Please stop badgering me about this topic; this is the last I want to discuss it.”
This seems like such a bizarre and irrational critique to make. I’ve never heard of a similar complaint, and I can’t believe it bothers your parents so much. It’s not like they’re the ones pumping, prepping bottles, and so forth. (And if you were to switch to formula, there would *still* be bottles to prep!) I could maaaaybe tolerate a complaint if there was some parenting choice that caused more work for them (like washing out cloth diapers), but I just don’t see it here. Also: TOTALLY a parenting call that involves no one else. Ugh. This would really chap my a-s-s if I were in your shoes.
Anonyc says
Argh–meant for (former) preg 3L. Posting fail.
Newly pregnant says
I haven’t been in the OPs shoes yet, but I agree about making the point that given all that has changed in your and DD’s life in the past few months that this is something you are not willing to change at this time.
(former) preg 3L – This is one of those areas where you need to assert boundaries with them, and I think the above script (with the addition of the recent upheaval in your lives) is the route that I would take.
(former) preg 3L says
Thanks both, this is helpful.
Sophia says
I’ve been back at work for four weeks, following an 8 week maternity leave. Yesterday my bosses informed me they were dissolving the partnership and, as of the end of the year, I’ll be out of a job. One partner is going solo, but the other partner is keeping the three junior associates, so it’s only me getting the boot. Aside from being furious that they’d denied my requests for an extension of my leave because they couldn’t spare me (clearly that wasn’t true) and that I hired a nanny because my hours didn’t allow for daycare pickup, I’m terrified at the thought of having to find a new job while working full time and horribly sleep deprived with a three month-old who refuses to fall asleep before 11:30 pm. I am also pumping and don’t know how to bring that up to any prospective employer (despite knowing my rights), but don’t feel ready to wean my baby yet. I’ve been debating setting up a solo practice, but the thought of losing a guaranteed salary when I have childcare costs is holding me back.
I don’t know what kind of advice I’m asking for, but I’m so angry and depressed and terrified right now that it’s all I can do to get through the day.
Pogo says
I don’t know what to say really except ((hugs)). That is terrible they would only let you take 8 weeks and then just lay you off. This is incredibly unprofessional, but knowing you’re getting laid off in a month anyway I’d completely phone it in the rest of the time, come in late, leave early, whatever you need to do. I know that’s petty, but I think the way they treated you justifies it, in my mind.
I’m inclined to say if your finances allow to keep the nanny and aggressively job search. It might seem like a good idea to cut costs since you might be home with the baby anyway after the layoff, but I think job hunting with an infant around might be hard.
As for pumping with prospective employers, it’s none of their business and shouldn’t affect anything. No one brings up “hey, I need a 30 min smoke break every two hours” to their employer, and seem to get away with that all the time, no problem.
(former) preg 3L says
Yes, yes, yes. Phone it in. Keep the nanny if you can. No need to bring up pumping. You’re an attorney, I assume, so as long as you’ll have an office with a door, you can make that work for your private pumping space (that is to say, you may need to have your office install a lock on the door and put a shade in the window, but it’s all doable). You’ll find out what you need to know re: pumping space by a simple tour of the office where you’ll be working. If it appears there is no pumping space (everyone’s in a cube or an open-concept office with all-glass walls), ask if they have a “Wellness Room.” And don’t wean until you’re good and ready! :) Major hugs.
pockets says
Totally phone it in. If you feel like yo have to show up for face time, use that time at the office to find a new job. I would even make up an illness (yours or baby) to get a few days extra off.
Once you’re officially out of a job, could you cut back on nanny days? Maybe only get the nanny 3 days a week and spend those days working on getting a new job.
The developmental change from 3 to 4 months is huge – your baby isn’t sleeping well now, but by the end of the year s/he might be sleeping through the night. A 5 month old also has a more predictable nap schedule so you could get things done in the 3-4 hrs a day s/he naps.
Don’t mention pumping to any prospective employer until you have an offer.
Sophia says
Thanks. I forget that in most places pumping wouldn’t be anybody’s business. I share an office at my current job, so every time I pump I have to go around asking whose office I can use. It’s made the whole thing horribly embarrassing. And believe it or not, I’m an employment attorney at an employment law firm.
(former) preg 3L says
Are you in NY? I work for in employment law and we have a few empty offices right now.
Sophia says
I am in NYC. What a small world, and now I’m wondering if we know each other. It’s good to know there are openings around. It’s been years since I was in the market for a job and had even stopped looking at the postings that popped up in my inbox once I got pregnant.
NewMomAnon says
Hugs. I can only imagine the chaos you must feel right. I guess if it was me, I would probably say f* the partnership, make job-searching your full-time job (and maybe do some of that from home while cuddling your little one). What are they going to do – fire you?
But seriously – take some time to breathe deeply, take a day to dream of what your perfect job would look like, and then start submitting resumes. It will be ok. It may not be the world you had envisioned, but you will find a way to make it work.
Msj says
Not a lawyer, so no advice on the job front but huge sympathies. I can see why you are livid. Regarding pumping, I wouldn’t think you have to bring it up until you are on the job/about to start barring any 3+ hour interview.
Good luck and hugs!
Jen says
ughhhhh. The only thought I have for ya is to ignore completely the concept of pumping. You will get job, they will figure out how to deal after you accept the offer. Do not make that an issue of any kind- it will just stress you out.
hoola hoopa says
I was in a nearly identical situation with my first child.
For job hunting, I arranged for baby-free time. My mind literally can’t care for a baby and think about professional cover letters. I needed me or baby out of the house completely.
When I had an interview, DH took the baby all night armed with bottles and I slept with earplugs. Was it fun for anyone? No. But I had a marginally normal amount of sleep and felt well enough to interview.
As for pumping, it’s a non-issue. Seriously. You don’t need to mention it. After accepting offer etc, ask about arrangements. My hiring manager was male so I thought it would be super awkward, but it wasn’t and he had me a key to the office pumping room on my first day without issue. If you have an office, you’ll just need to find out about the window situation.
General advice is to not mention that you just had a baby during interviews etc. Aside from ending an interview for a position that turned out to have hours/expectations that I would have found completely incompatible with my family life by explaining that I had a newborn and wasn’t right for the position, I never mentioned it and stand by that. Again, no issues once I was hired.
HM says
What do you feed a 9-month old?
DD loves to eat, but has recently taken to rejecting baby food and only wanting what is on my (or her papa’s or her grandparents’) plate. So, no to soft bananas, anything labeled “Gerber” (even stage 3 chunky foods), rice cereal, etc. Yes to yogurt, fish, bits of bread, soft veggies. I would just feed her what we eat, but my husband and I eat sort of “paleo”, meaning lots of meat and salad or roasted veggies that aren’t really soft enough for her.
She’s got her bottom front teeth and is cutting her uppers. She does great at mashing food with her jaw. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
NewMomAnon says
I’ve been making liberal use of my crock pot – I’ll poach chicken in some stock (lowest sodium I can find), and then it’s easy to shred. We put it in pasta, salads, sandwiches, tacos, etc; I make a pot of it on Sunday night and we use it through Wednesday. My kiddo loves it and it’s the perfect texture for a 9 month old. I’ve done the same thing with ham, beef, and turkey. We also make stews, and then I just shred the meat for her and cut up the veggies into small bits.
I also keep frozen veggies on hand and cook those until soft.
Also, have you tried the squeezy pouches of baby food? My kiddo discovered that she can suck the goo out of them directly (no spoon! independence!), and now they are fun again.
hoola hoopa says
Google baby lead weaning. There are a ton of resources out there.
Same experience with pouches. My table-food-or-nothing child loved them. Cost us a small fortune, but worth it.
It feels challenging at first, but in the end I think it’s a lot easier than a puree-or-nothing child (I had one of those, too).
There’s a learning curve, but in a month or so she’ll probably be ready to eat what you’re already eating. Canned beans and frozen peas are easy additions to a meal if what you’re eating that night doesn’t seem appropriate.
Carrie M says
We’re in the same boat and have been feeding her a lot of what you said. Breakfast favorites: yogurt, scrambled eggs, pieces of pancake, avocado, orange slice (she sucks the juice), half a banana (she feeds herself but we watch closely so we can pull out any big chunks), cheerios with a little bit of breastmilk on them to make them easier for her to mush. Lunch/dinner: small pieces of chicken, ground beef, turkey, salmon, grilled cheese, potatoes, butternut squash, corn, quinoa or rice, kidney beans or black beans, avocado, peas, pickle spears (sucks the juice), stew or soup.
We basically give her a mini version of whatever we’re eating (or leftovers), and for dinner, we try to include a protein and a veggie. So last night she ate quinoa and some beef stew cut into small pieces she could pick up. Night before she had quinoa, peas, and chunks of grilled chicken. Last week she had some salmon and butternut squash soup I had made (we spoon fed that!). Sometimes she’ll let us spoon feed her if she already has some food in her hand or on her high chair. But mostly we cut it up small enough for her to feed herself. We’re also trying to teach her to use the spoon. It’s messy, but she is starting to get it though she prefers to hold the spoon part and not the handle!
I have the Baby Led Weaning Cookbook, which gave me the confidence to give her table food. To be honest, I’ve only made one of the recipes from that book. It’s just easier to give her what we’re making for ourselves.
Jen says
My 14 month old still only has 2 bottom teeth. She didn’t’ get those until she was 12 months.
At 9 months, she was eating pretty much everything DH and I did, just small pieces. I didn’t’ give her honey or ground beef, and for things like chicken I cut it into REALLY tiny pieces.
Katarina says
When my son was 9 months, he had no teeth, and could still eat almost everything I ate cut into small pieces. The only things I avoided were honey, nuts (but creamy nut butters are fine), dried fruit, steak, and some raw vegetables (cucumbers are okay). Some foods that were/are especially popular are roasted or baked sweet potato, banana, strawberries, cheese, yogurt, nut butter on toast. My son also seems to like all in one meal with lots of sauce, such as pasta or curry.
Maddie Ross says
It may be too late in the day, so I may repost again tomorrow, but has anyone used a sleep coach with their child? We have created a monster – totally inadvertently. We started by bringing our daughter in with us in the morning at around 10 months old to get an extra hour or so of sleep when she’d wake at 5. Over the last 9 months, this has slipped gradually earlier and earlier, until now it’s midnight some nights when she gets in bed with us. For a long time, this worked really well actually. But now that she’s older, some nights are just awful – she’ll sit in bed between us and just play, or demand water, attention, etc. I’m at the end of my rope. Has anyone hired anyone like this with any luck? Am I dreaming to think that there’s someone out there that can help me fix the mess I made? (Am I getting a bit overly dramatic due to lack of sleep???)
