washable work dressJCP has a number of colors for this washable, affordable dress, but I like it in the teal — we featured a splurge teal dress for work on Corporette on Monday, and I was struck by how MANY teal dresses are out right now. High, low, and in-between, it seems like everyone thinks a working woman needs a teal dress. For $39.99, this one looks great – and I like that it comes in sizes 4-18.

Grr…sometimes I just want to ask old white male opposing counsel whether they are being sexist a**holes on purpose, or whether it’s just part of what makes them special snowflakes.

Did anyone have anxiety about breastfeeding? I’m five months pregnant with my first and i just can’t stand the idea of it. I also feel an immense pressure to at least try from family, friends, midwives and Internet strangers, which makes me feel worse. Any thoughts?

Thoughts on a pump bag? I can get the PIS bag for 60, but is it worth it??

After exhausting every single option, we are now in the middle of CIO with our 8 month old. From 3.5 mo up until we started CIO, he was up every 45min to 1:15 hr, without fail, eventhough we were co-sleeping. His naps never lasted more than 45 min. He started developing bags under his eyes, waking up screaming at night and crying during the day. Ever since we started CIO, his bags have disappeared and he wakes up SO happy.

We’re now on day 4 of CIO and the initial crying has not decreased. We try to put him down “drowsy but awake” but as soon as we place him in the crib he is wide awake and crying. He cries for a half an hour straight every night. Will the crying decrease? How long will it take?

Also, if I want to move him back in bed with us (BigLaw associate here who never gets to spend time with her son during the week), will co-sleeping after sleep training work or will he just revert to waking up every 45min-1:!5min? I want to snuggle with him at night but we just cannot go back to waking up so often every night.
