Nursing/Postpartum Monday: Baby Cashmere Gift Set

Here’s a totally impractical gift that I would have been thrilled to receive.
This baby cashmere gift set comes with a baby blanket, mittens, and beanie — all made from 100% cashmere (50% of which is recycled cashmere). Keep baby warm this winter with this soft and cozy set. And, perhaps it’s not as impractical as I first thought — like most cashmere, you can wash it for the inevitable messes.
This baby cashmere gift set is $200 at Banana Republic and comes in ecru or sable brown.

Anyone have experience with their son needing surgery to correct penile torsion?
I probably won’t get many responses but I wanted people’s thoughts. Basically, should I just go to therapy?
I have a rare condition in my tissue that is frequently associated with serious diseases and rarely random. Despite multiple reassurances from experts that my case was random, I worried that I was going to find out any day that I had a serious disease. I finally got a genetic test which confirmed that I am not at risk for anything serious. It has been a huge relief.
However, my older daughter (6) went to the dentist and has an uncommon tooth condition. I am now worried because it is sometimes associated with more serious conditions. She doesn’t seem to have anything – she’s developed normally otherwise and is doing well in school.
I thought getting the genetic test would cure me of my anxiety around this, but I am wondering if I am just going to flail looking for something else. Maybe the stress wasn’t about my condition but something else? Or maybe I am just in a pattern of looking for something worse? Regardless, I want to stop being like this. I successfully got myself out of worrying too much in the past, but it took a pretty hefty amount of reframing effort on my part. I don’t know if I have the capacity to do that on my own with work and kids and life. Do I just need someone to coach me through it?
Thanks for all the excellent advice on Friday about bribery-based potty training! Unfortunately, DD seems to like the idea of chocolate chips more than the reality, because this weekend has been a resounding failure. We have been making her sit on the potty every 20 minutes and she’ll pee some of the time, but save #2 for her pants a minute or two later. We told her she can have a diaper to poop in but she will not (cannot?) tell us beforehand. Is it time to back off and try again in a couple of months? Will it make a difference if we use pull-ups vs diapers, or those absorbent cotton training underwear? Help!
Todays one of those rare days my husband and I both have work off and daycares open. Made sure to do all our chores yesterday so we could be couch potatoes today.
2.5 yo has not been sleeping great lately but still bouncing off the walls so this is a welcome day of rest.
I’m recovering from my second miscarriage of 2022, which happened on Christmas Eve. This time around, I took plenty of time off and am easing back into a routine. Sidebar: miscarriage is the effing worst.
I had wanted to host a low key Valentines Day playdate for my 3yo at home (and still do) but I’m worried one of the families might bring their newborn-ish baby along. It’s kind of an ‘all or nothing’ group of friends, too. WWYD?
Music rec: My 5-year-old started taking ukulele group lessons and loves it! He mastered the finger placement for the chords after a day or two of practice, and comes out of lessons beaming. The teacher is young, and super casual. Bonus: it’s easier on parental ears than some other instruments.
To the person who posted on the weekend thread about immersion programs – I posted a long response there.
I have an 8 month old daughter and work full time at a flexible job. When I’m home with her I want to focus on her and enjoy that time, but I’m constantly running through my checklist for the day and moving on to the next thing I need to do. So instead of reading to her, she’s in the high chair with snacks while I wash bottles or something. I have an involved husband, biweekly cleaners, etc. but this is just day to day stuff that needs to get done for our house to be functional at a basic level. Any tips on how to manage this better? I feel like she’s already growing up too fast!
Would anyone recommend the nugget couch? Appropriate for a first birthday? Thanks!
Cashmere is so itchy that I can’t imagine a baby wearing it.
