Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: 3-in-1 Maternity Hoodie

One of my regrets in new motherhood is that I didn’t try to wear my son more while out and about. I defaulted to using the stroller with the car seat adapter and used the stroller for walking around. However, I did find that wearing him during the “witching hour” really did soothe him, and maybe he would have liked being in a carrier more frequently. For those of you who are getting a lot of mileage out of your sling/carrier, this hoodie looks adorable. It has a panel to add to fit the carrier inside of it, and it has an opening for the top of your baby’s head. It looks super comfy, I love the length, and I would 100% wear this even without the carrier insert beyond the pregnancy/baby stage. It is $89 at Seraphine.com. 3-in-1 Maternity Hoodie

I had a knockoff version of this and it was amazing! I wore it everyday for the first winter and into the second with my son. Mine didn’t have the zip out carrier bit so wasn’t useful beyond that, but I passed it along to another mom who wears it regularly.
Good morning,
I have some career questions for lawyer moms. I am looking to switch from private practice to a government job. I know it will be hard but I want to try at least. I saw an appellate research attorney position and I was wondering if any of know any online resources or forums for the job application process:resume suggestions, cover letter, process etc. Thank you.
I saw your post late last night and your desperation was so familiar and so palpable that I wanted to reach out. My firstborn nursed every 1-1.5 hours through the night and not much less frequently during the day for the first many weeks. I have never felt so tired and sad and desperate. So, I have these things to say:
1. The early days as a first time mom are the worst. I promise you, better days are coming and they are coming soon.
2. A lot of problems with babies can only be solved with time. See above.
3. Do whatever you need/want to in order to cope. Do not let any other person tell you what routine/sleep surface/sleeps aids/whatever makes sense for you. Sure, if some mom out there had a relatively easy sleeper or a spouse who could help out a lot or whatever then she may have come to the conclusion that the risk involved in using a Dock-a-Tot wasn’t worth it, but you can make a different decision based on your own circumstances and still be right.
4. You can do it! You ARE doing it! You are a strong, caring mom and your baby is very lucky to have you.
I’ve been eyeing this hoodie for a while since I baby wear when going out 95% of the time. I’m torn between all of Seraphine’s baby wearing things- specifically, the jacket, the puffer vest, and this hoode. (I’ve decided I wouldn’t get enough use out of the winter coat given our weather this year). Anyone have thoughts or feedback on the practicality and long term use of any of these options? We live in DC and my kid is 3 months old. Or also- can anyone share links to other options?
Thanks!
Any feedback on Freemie cups from the well-endowed? I’m an h-cup while nursing, and I just can’t tell from photos how well the system will stay in place. Also, any opinions on how useful they are? I will be pumping in a private locked office, so I’m not worried about being walked in on. But maybe the cups are better anyway to get the horns out of the way so I can continue to type, etc.?
Hello! Can anyone recommend ponte pants for work? I used to love the Sloan from BR but my size has changed since 2 kids. I bought Pixie Pants from Old Navy but don’t love them. I also tried the Brass ponte pant and hated the constricted waste band. Help!!
When are kids able to carry their own bag/suitcase at the airport? We have a trip planned in a month when LO is 2.5 years old. Am I crazy in thinking we could get one of those smaller suitcases and have him roll it at the airport along with us? Thanks!
I over Marie Kondo-ed my closet and got rid of all maternity clothes because I was so done with them. Now, going back to work, I officially have very few items that fit. Can anyone help with a capsule I can go out and buy to get me over the hump at work? It also doesn’t help that in the 4 months I have been out, things have gotten more casual. Like from business casual (no jeans) to jeans every day. I have a handful of shells that will work and a couple of blazers, but likely need to run out to buy jeans and a couple cardigans tonight. Anything else I should include in my quick shopping spree as a must have?
Has anyone used one of the car services in NYC that offers car seats? I’m headed to NYC with my two kiddos in February, and I really would rather avoid the bus to subway situation. I’m used to taking a cab into the city, and this is the first time I’m bringing my kids with me.
My two year old is having more episodes of what seems like night terror or super tantrum during nap & sleep times. Last ty time it happened at nap time, I left him in his crib and closed the door. It was a disaster. At nighttime, it usually happens when he wakes up after a few hours. It’s really bad where he cries non stop for 30-40 minutes, goes into the closet and cries, runs angrily, hits/bites me, doesn’t want to be held, says no papa, no mama, constantly cries out for mama, doesn’t want pacifier, even turning on light doesn’t help. He even carried a big diaper pail from one side to another side of the room. Last night he calmed down after some time once I started talking about balloons. I have no idea what’s going on. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any strategies for preventing or coping with this? Thanks!
Anyone else have a kiddo who hits milestones in an unusual order? DS rolled back-to-front at barely three months, then didn’t roll front-to-back for months, until he was nearly sitting up. Now we are starting to suspect he is going to skip crawling entirely, or maybe just do it for a very brief period. We’re not worried about him, and neither is the ped — it’s just a little wild, wondering what he will do in what order.
What are your favorite kids’ rain boots? It’s not cold here, but it will rain almost every day from now until mid-April. Day care has suggested that I send kiddo to school in a rain boots, with a pair of dry shoes to change into after they play outside. Am I overthinking this? All his shoes are washable, so I could just send two pairs. I already send him in a rain coat with a hood, in case that wasn’t obvious.
Thank you to those who responded yesterday with support for my news that I am having twins. I am still quite shocked but getting more excited. Thank you for the advice to just accept and prepare for what’s happening. I checked out Lucies list which was cute/helpful and twinversity which seemed spammy, but did others find it useful?
Will be back here with more questions I am sure!
