Happy Thursday, ladies! I really like the look of these short-sleeved wrap dresses at Old Navy. Not only are they machine washable and cute, they’re also great to wear if your weight is fluctuating (particularly in early pregnancy or postpartum), and they’re good for nursing. The same print also comes in a maternity dress for when you really need it; if you’re not a fan of the print the wrap dress also comes in a solid purple and black. (It seems like it came in a lot of other colors and prints at one point too, but they’re mostly sold out. Lots of plus size options still left though.) The pictured dress is $29.50, and available in regular, tall and petite sizes. Wrap-Front Jersey Dress

I got positive results today from amnio! I’m so relieved. Pregnancy is just one waiting game after another.
OK: poop question. My near-4 year old has peeing down, but still poops in his underpants because he says he can’t “feel it.” At first I worried it was a constipation problem so we added a regular serving of dried fruit to his morning routine (and are generally trying to add in more fibery food too). Then we worried it was a power struggle thing, so we’ve tried all manners of bribery (an extra 30 minutes of tv time! a cookie!). The other morning has me scratching my head, though — we encouraged him to sit on the potty. After 30 minutes he pooped. Yaaaay! Happy dances all around. He got up… and 5 minutes later went in his undies again, saying he didn’t feel it coming.
Has anyone been through this — does it sound like a problem you had? Really at a loss for how to help him here.
Experienced Moms, can you tell me about transitioning from bottles of formula to cups of milk? My baby is turning one soon, and her daycare expects her to make this transition by 13 months. I also think she needs to cut down on the amount of milk/formula she’s getting and get on a better meal/snack schedule. Currently she’s getting formula in a bottle at approximately 4am, 7am, 9:30am, 1:30pm, 4:30pm, and 6:30pm (bedtime). She eats finger foods for three meals plus an afternoon snack each day. I would love to see her eating three meals and one or two snacks a day accompanied milk in a cup. But how on earth do we get from here to there? For some reason this seems like a very daunting undertaking.
