I love this soft textured sweater jersey from Ann Taylor, which looks like a great basic for work or the weekend — and why yes, it is machine washable. It’s available exclusively online in green, light blue, red, burgundy, and black, sizes XXS-XXL in regular and petites. It’s $59 full price. Ann Taylor Sweater Jersey Wrap Top

Wait, didn’t mean to report. Meant to reply! Sorry!
Just looking for a reasonableness check. I have been having a great pregnancy for the first 32 weeks. Didn’t even announce until 20 weeks and felt really overall good for another 10+. Obviously worked full schedule. At 33/34, I’m starting to feel awful a lot of the time–can’t sleep, major back pain, headaches, etc. more worryingly, I’ve also been experiencing pre-term labor issues (eg, BH contractions spaced 5 minutes apart, cramping, spotting, etc) my doc says I must slow down. Last night, I worked until 2 am, just pushing through. Felt terrible and was terrified that I might be starting labor. This am, I went to see my doc and she was very concerned. Reiterated that I could bring baby too soon if I don’t sit more/ sleep more/ drink more water/ relax more.
I have a couple more very late, stressful, marathon meetings scheduled at 35 and 36 weeks, respectively. I asked this am to be covered by equally competent, on- level colleagues. I know I’m not sick but I’d never forgive myself if I bring this baby too soon over a meeting. I got some pushback when I raised the issue and my request has been elevated to my boss’ boss. Am I in the wrong? I mentioned my preterm labor symptoms (without specifics) and my doctor’s advice.
in the last few weeks, a few people have recommended a book called fourth trimester in various comments, when I look for it on amazon a few books have that title…. is that the one you ladies would recommend ? http://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Trimester-Understanding-Protecting-Nurturing-ebook/dp/B00AQDIP6M/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415202537&sr=1-1&keywords=fourth+trimester
thanks
Does anyone have experience with cloth highchairs like Totseat? We’re going on vacation over the holidays and will be staying in a townhouse without a highchair. Is it worth bringing something like Totseat, or should I just make do without? Baby will be 9 months old.
I LOVE this top. Love the cut, love the color. Do not love the high polyester content, but I’ll wait for the next sale and try it.
Is it true that AT has improved their quality? The last two items I bought there didn’t even survive one season, so I haven’t bought anything for about two years.
Morning ladies. My husband and I are in the midst of researching (a) cribs and (b) strollers for our first child. Would love to hear recommendations (or products to stay away from) for both.
Baby Sleep Question/Issue/Complaint.
I bought Ferber’s book, Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems, or whatever it’s called. We (my mom and I) have made amazing progress in the last week and now my almost-9-month-old daughter will fall asleep by herself in her crib with minimal crying (max. 7 minutes of crying, but usually 2-3 minutes of crying). Now, I’m trying to figure out the best plan for extending time between feedings, as the book explains, while also sending her to her father’s house this weekend. I’m thinking of letting her sleep stabilize where it is now, with bedtime at 5:30, first feeding around 10pm, second feeding around 1am, third feeding around 4:30am, and wake up around 6:30/7am (another feeding at that point).
For sending her to her father’s house this weekend: I think it would be best for her to have a consistent schedule, as much as we can, and to resume sleep training after she returns to my house. Thoughts?
For addressing the feeding schedule: She takes 20 oz of milk during the day from bottles and I nurse her for the overnight feedings (I don’t get home in time for bedtime so that’s a bottle too). She eats solids at daycare, mostly fruits and veggies, which they provide but she absolutely refuses to eat anything off of a spoon. Why does she need so many feedings overnight?!?
