Weekend & Family Friday: Ascot Slipper

I bought my husband these slippers a few years ago, and they always come in handy during these cold weather months. For suburban dwellers like us, they’re great to keep his feet warm during the basement tinkering that he does (whatever he does down there is still unknown to me), and when taking the garbage out to the curb. For city slickers, I can imagine they’re sturdy enough for an emergency trip to the corner Duane Reade if the weather is dry enough. Even though they’re slippers, they still have a full rubber sole, so they can be worn outside too, if necessary. Also, now that we have a child, we are trying not to wear shoes all the time inside the house, so I see these being a comfortable indoor shoe. They are $109 with free shipping at Zappos and are available in several colors as well as leather, wide sizes, etc. Ascot Slipper

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Two random questions of an almost new mom! Baby is due in a month:
– We live in a small one bedroom apartment. Baby will be sleeping in the room with us in the beginning. Middle of the night diaper changes….did you have a night light? How did you handle seeing when you needed to but not simply switch on the real huge light.
– Spouse alarm. My husband will be going back to work two weeks after the baby is born. He will be setting an alarm. Did you just set your phone on vibrate and put it under the pillow? If the baby is sleeping it would be nice for him to be able to get up and not wake the baby up.
Supposed to get genetic testing results today… and have a ton of work to do. Nervous!
What do you do when cry it out (CIO) isn’t working? We have been sleep training our 17-month-old for months and months. There are good nights when he goes down easily and sleeps till 4 or 5 am and bad nights where cries/screams at bedtime and throughout the night. It just never feels like we are making progress, every night is a crapshoot. The only thing I can count on is that he will wake up and scream. Is the shutdown keeping him up?! What is going on?
I’ll admit that we have not always been consistent, sometimes we give up and I hold him and nurse him for hours in my bed. I am tired. I barely see him throughout the day (he’s in daycare), he cries at drop off and then cries throughout the night, I fell like I only see him crying on weekdays. I cannot take it anymore. He is otherwise a content little guy, not a fussy kid, i just cannot figure out this sleep thing. I would be open to co-sleeping with him if that worked, but he stays awake, gets up an plays, or has multiple screaming wakings.
I have the women’s version of these Ugg slippers (Ainsley, I think?) and they are one of my absolute favourite items. So good if you are spending hours standing while rocking or wearing a newborn…or running outside to put the recycling out because the garbage truck driving down your street reminded you it’s garbage day.
Breastfeeding leggings – ie highwaisted leggings so you don’t show off your stomach while breastfeeding. What are your favorites?
Ugh, another sleep question. For those of you whose kids share a room due to preference or lack of other space, how early did you move the younger kid in with the bigger kid? We’ve got our 3 month old in our room still and would like to move him to his 2.5 year old brother’s room but baby is not sleeping through the night. In fact, he’s gotten worse in the last few days due to who knows what but could be a combination of hearing us at night, breaking out of the swaddle, growth spurt, etc. etc. We’ve been trying to do a dream feed at around 10, but then he’s still been waking up twice more before toddler is up. Is it too early to move him over? Should we wait and sleep train him first?
Obviously will be checking with pediatrician, but thoughts on flying (2 hours) with baby for dear friend’s wedding approximately two months after due date?
All the talk about pumping yesterday got my curious if I’m doing it wrong. My baby is 4 months old and I started pumping when she was about 4 weeks old. I have a pretty large freezer stash (around 700 oz). I’m back at work now and pump enough for her bottles the next day but I’ve been giving her the frozen milk from the stash and freezing what I bring home from work. My thought was to use up the older milk first. Should I be giving her the fresh milk? I have a few trips coming up in February and March and I’m not sure I’ll being pumped milk home so that’s the reason for the stash.
