Pregnancy boobs: They exist, and — when they’re not tender or painful — most women I know thought their new additions were pretty fabulous. But they can be a bit distracting at the office (or at least feel a bit distracting), and that’s where a nice big statement necklace comes into play — it draws the attention upward, back toward your face.

I just saw the posts from Friday about a babies hitting the home button on an iPad/iPhone.
You can use the Guided Access mode to block a LO from hitting the home key and exiting or hitting certain parts of the touch screen. It’s made a world of difference for us (if only it would stop a LO from throwing or dropping it, though…). Links to how to do it to follow.
Also Little Baby Bum videos are like baby crack. Freaky and disturbing for adults, but awesome for the under-two set.

Is there a way for babies to scroll through pictures while using Guided Access and NOT delete photos?
My little kid has a knack for somehow still deleting photos/videos whilst using GA.

Tried to post links, but they didn’t (haven’t?) come through…
I haven’t tried it for photos, but you can circle parts of the screen you don’t want to be sensitive to touch, so you could circle the trashcan, I suppose.

Wow! Thank you! I had no idea this existed!

Me neither! THANK YOU! My husband and I have been saying for awhile “how come phones don’t have ‘baby mode’?” Well I guess they do! This is amazing.
Edna Mazur says
No joke about Little Baby Bum. Freaky as heck but my kiddo would watch for hours if we let him.
AIMS says
Not looking for medical advice just curious in terms of reference: how long did it take for your kids’ teeth to break on average each time?
Baby AIMS seems to be in the middle of some horrible teething and she’s had a mild fever since Thursday night. It’s the top front teeth. Doctor’s office said not to bring her in unless she’s got a fever of 104 for more than 24 hrs. She doesn’t. But she has been between 99 and 101.5 for a few days now. Motrin and Tylenol (we’ve tried both at this point) only help somewhat. No other symptoms. Just wondering what’s “normal” for this. All my real life friends with kids a bit older seem to have suppressed all memories of this period and their only feedback is “yeah, teething sucks!”
Anon in NYC says
I don’t remember precisely, but I want to say that it took a while. Like, I thought it would be 5 days, tops, and it was actually more like 2 weeks from when I noticed more obvious symptoms (irritability, chewing on her hands) to actual teeth. My LO is in the process of getting new teeth right now and she’s been super cranky for about a week, but nothing yet.
AnonMN says
I think this one of those kid dependent things. My sons are in a serious amount of pain (based on the symptoms) for 2-3 days and then BAM teeth, symptoms gone. My nieces barely have symptoms other than some irritability and drooling, but their teeth take months to come in. I’m sure there are in betweens though.
CLMom says
Prior to first tooth – sporadic 2-3 spurts where you could tell her mouth was bugging her
Tooth 1 (bottom front left) – again, a two day uncomfortable spell
Tooth 2 (bottom front right) – no noticeable fussiness, however I did notice she tried teething on her arm
After first two teeth – again a sporadic fussy spell where we could tell she was just uncomfortable
MDMom says
My kid has not had a fever associated with teething (3 teeth so far, so we’ll see.). When a tooth is imminent there is a very obvious bulge and I can kinda feel the tooth when I push down on gum with my finger. Then you can see what looks like a cut on the gum. From then, it still takes a few days (up to maybe 5) for the actual tooth to break through the skin. My kid is a very slow teether I think (first tooth at 11.5 months, takes 4-6 weeks for tooth to come in fully after it breaks skin). Maybe others come in faster.
My two cents is that the fever is not due to teething directly. At most, the teething has knocked down kid’s immune system making her more susceptible to virus. But fever is probably caused by virus. If she has no other symptoms, I’d try not to worry about it too much (easier said than done, I know). Ask doctors office if they’d want you to bring her in at some point if it continues like this (probably 7 days?).
Katala says
This is similar to the first 4-8 teeth for DS, the further they get from center the longer they’re taking to break through. So, longer cranky/uncomfortable period. I can’t really remember how long for the tooth to fully come in.. probably a couple of weeks, though the molar was at least a month. He’s working on a canine now and I’ve been able to feel the bulge for a couple weeks and it hasn’t cut at all but does seem to be uncomfortable. Poor guy’s been teething pretty much nonstop since Christmas. He does sometimes seem warm when the tooth is cutting, but I realized the one time he had a fever >102, he felt SO hot so I try not to stress unless it’s past the hmm, I think he’s a little warm level. Good luck!
AIMS says
Thanks all. Appreciate all the anecdata.
I always thought fever was a teething myth but doctor’s office and medical research apparently supports the notion that teething can cause a low grade fever in some kids.
hoola hoopa says
I feel like the worst of the pain proceeded visible tooth by 7-30 days. (One of my kids was a month, almost to the day. Her adult teeth seem to be growing in about a month after her baby teeth fall out, too).

Favorite maternity jeans? That’s it. Pretend cost doesn’t matter… Also, has anyone tried the new Madewell line?

Maddie Ross says
Paige Skyline. Got mine from Nordstrom. They rock.
(was) due in june says
Me too, with the side panels. I wore one pair almost my entire pregnancy (I was anti pants for the final couple months), and then a friend wore that pair through her pregnancy. They’re still holding their shape, albeit a bit faded. Worth every single penny.
Carrie M says
Following closely. I’ve liked the JCrew matchstick jeans so far, but as I go into my third tri, I’m looking for more of a band instead of just the side panels. Just got a pair of Loft full panel jeans and they’re awful.
Maddie Ross says
FWIW, I hated all the full panel ones the first time around, too, though they totally became necessary late in the third tri esp. I ended up with the Old Navy ones (the rockstar legging, I think), just because they were cheap, stretchy and the least awful. I splurged on a pair of full panel AGs and was so disappointed.
CHJ says
My favorites were from the Gap – a dark wash, demi panel skinny jean. They are still one of my favorite pairs of jeans ever – I wish I could find an equivalent in non-maternity! I’ll post a link in a moment of the current version.

Momata says
I really disproportionately loved my Old Navy dark wash full panel skinny jeans. They didn’t get stretched out in the knees and I always felt sharp and tailored in them. (I wear Sevens and Habitual when I’m not incubating a human.) And you can’t beat the price!
Closet Redux says
I borrowed these from a friend during my first pregnancy and loved them / lived in them. I really want another pair but can’t pull the trigger on that price tag! Why are maternity jeans so expensive?

Old Navy. Surprised because I haven’t been impressed with their regular stuff lately but loved their maternity jeans.

+1 on Old Navy demi panel/”low panel.” I would not be caught dead in their non-maternity jeans, but loved the maternity ones. I had to size down from my pre-pregnancy size.
JEB says
I loved my full-panel maternity jeans from Loft. I was actually sad to give them up. I also had a demi-panel pair from Loft. I loved the fit of those as well, but the panel folded after washing, and I could never smooth it back out.
PhilanthropyGirl says
The Kohl’s OhBaby dark wash jeans I had were the best. If work dress code would have allowed, I would have lived in them.
GCA says
H&M full panel skinnies – could never do demi-panel which felt like they were constantly falling off!
Betty says
Au Pair Update: Our au pair is so homesick that she is going home after one week with us. Oof. Its the right call for her (worried that there may be underlying depression) and us, but that doesn’t make it any easier. Ugh. And, I have different internal clients all telling me that their project is the most important ever and must be handled today — while I try and figure out back up childcare and get in touch with potential au pairs. Happy Monday?
CHJ says
Ughhhhhh sorry to hear this. Having your childcare arrangement fall through is so, so stressful. Hang in there.
Anonymous says
Maybe try reaching out to local high school or university students – they may not be started back yet and might be able to pick up a week of work to bridge you to when the new au pair arrives
Anonymous says
That’s rough, I’m sorry! I hope you’re able to get a new au pair soon, but meanwhile the high school/university student suggestion is a good one. Good luck with all the demanding clients… they always seem to have a sixth sense about being extra pushy when you have non-work stress, amirite?
Jen says
What’s your SO doing?
GCA says
+1 can SO help sort out backup childcare / substitute au pair?
Betty says
He’s an elementary school principal, and school starts next week. So this is his crunch time, and it is near impossible for him to be away from school.
We are going to try and tap a high school student or two from church (for this week — school starts next week) and lean heavily on family where we can.

Yikes! Sorry you’ve been having such lousy childcare luck. Will you try rematching in country? If you post an anonymous email I can connect you with a great host family support group I’m on via Facebook

TBK says
How would you have handled this? Yesterday morning, we dropped our kids (2.5 yo twins) off in the church nursery. One of the usual women was there to watch them, and she had her own toddler there (probably 18-24 mo old). The little girl had a snack plate at one of the tables in the room and one of my boys went over and swiped one of the things off of her plate. When I swooped in to take it back and tell him not to take food from people, I realized what he had was a grape — a whole grape. Maybe I’m extra sensitive because I almost choked to death on a whole grape when I was almost exactly 2.5 yo, but I was shocked that there were whole grapes in the room. It’s possible this little girl was fine eating them, but I feel like it was careless to have them where other children could get to them. I was on the one hand embarrassed that my child had stolen food from her child, but on the other upset that he’d almost gotten a whole grape. I didn’t want to say anything to the woman about giving grapes to her own child, but I was kind of upset my kid had been able to get one, but then he’d only done it by stealing, but then again he’s two and two year olds steal from each other. What would you do if you’d been in my position?
Jen says
Your kids are 2.5? Check the handbook. Grapes are allowed in our daycare after a certain age, and required to be cut under a certain age. Same with hot dogs.
Re: your reaction, maybe just ask the teachers of grapes are supposed to be cut up and explain why you’re extra concerned.
TBK says
What handbook? Do you mean for the nursery? I’m pretty sure most church nurseries don’t have handbooks (this is a nursery, not nursery school — it’s where a couple of ladies from the church watch the really little kids during church services). So they’re not teachers, just other moms at the church. Also the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that grapes be cut in half lengthwise for kids under 4 years old. Kids in our church are encouraged to attend services with the parents so it’s only really little kids (under 3 or so) who are in the nursery.
Anonymous says
This is one of the reasons I didn’t use the church nursery. It is not subject to the same standards and quality controls as day care. I used to sit in the back with the kid and run her out to the lobby if she got noisy. Cheerios, books, and crayons to color on the bulletin were helpful, but it was still stressful and horrible.
layered bob says
yep, we don’t use church nurseries either. I take my turn volunteering in ours but our daughter has never attended. I just don’t feel comfortable with it and don’t feel I have the same control/recourse that I do with a standard day care or nanny. Fortunately our church is pretty keen on kids being in the service and tolerant of thrown/dropped toys and baby noises.
TK says
My kid got pink eye 2 of the 3 times he went to a church nursery (with grandparents) so no more nursery for him – grandparents can entertain him at the pew or come up with some other plan.
PhilanthropyGirl says
So, I haven’t dealt with this because our church nursery has a list of allergen-friendly, baby safe approved snacks. As an occasional volunteer, I would never dream of offering my kid his/her own snack when other children were around. First, because it’s rude to eat in front of other people if you don’t intend to share, and second for the very reason you mention – food swiping. Two year olds have zero sense of other people owning things. No embarrassment on the two-year-old-thief front – mine pickpocketed our pastor’s cell phone the other day.
If it would have been me, I probably would have said “You know Philanthropy Baby is a food thief, and he can’t manage whole grapes just yet. Is there a way we can keep him from getting into your child’s snack?” Hopefully that would have managed the situation for the moment.
I’d also probably contact the pastor or lay person who oversees the nursery and asked about establishing a policy on safe snacks both to benefit children with allergies and to keep kids safe.
Maddie Ross says
I think I must go to a similar church as you, Philanthropy Girl, as our church childcare program is super rigorous in its standards and snacks (peanut free, gluten free options, etc.). That said, in this situation, I think I would assess first whether this was a snack meant to be shared among the students, or whether she was just giving her child an individual snack. If she brought them from home? Well, to each their own. We haven’t cut up grapes or other fruit since our LO was about 1.5 (though we do always watch her). I would probably just apologize for him taking some of it and move on. If it was a snack provided by the church for all, then I would say something to her about your personal concerns and maybe reference the AAP standards, gently, about cutting them up.
TBK says
I think I did say something like that to the mom. Maybe it’s worth asking about safe snacks. Love the stealing the cell phone! My kids can smell electronics a mile away. No smartphone is safe near them.
Spirgograph says
There’s no way I would have the presence of mind to think of this in the moment, but I like this response.
Closet Redux says
I wouldn’t have even noticed. I’m all for an ounce of prevention, but I feel like a relatively small number of terrible, very sad incidents has been blown way out of proportion and is now feeding a paralyzing culture of fear we have around children’s safety. While I recognize the potential hazard, I just feel like it’s yet another thing we’re supposed to be terrified of, and I just can’t go there. Sorry, AAP, I’m spending all my fear points on car accidents, pedophiles, and plastics in my water source.
Momata says
Same here. I do cut my 1yo’s grapes but not my 2.5yo’s.
Anonymous says
How do you prevent the 1 yo from getting the older child’s grapes? Is that only for when in high chairs and cut all when at playground/backyard snacking?
Signed, twins under 2 + older sister and cutting all grapes and would love not to
Momata says
Yes, just for “formal dining” in high chairs.
NewMomAnon says
I wouldn’t treat a grape as panic-worthy, although I wouldn’t leave my kiddo in the nursery with a bowl of grapes sitting out. It’s not a guarantee that a toddler will choke on a grape – it’s a risk. My daughter is about the same age as your little guys, and I’ve been in situations where another parent is offering snacks that are on the “unsafe” list for toddlers – popcorn, grapes, fruit snacks. I let my kiddo share in the snack, and just make sure I’m present and paying attention in case there is a problem. I also make sure that she is sitting down while eating, and that she eats one piece at a time. No disasters yet, knock on wood.
ChiLaw says
I was pretty shocked to see uncut grapes at my kiddo’s very rules-heavy (nut free, etc.) daycare. The teacher just breezily said, “we’re right here with them when they eat them.” We still cut grapes for our kid (18 months).
Anonymous says
I would be uncomfortable with this attitude. One of the reasons grapes and nuts are such a problem is that they are heavier foods so it can be hard to generate enough force to Heimlich them out properly if baby does start to choke.
TBK says
My dad was sitting right next to me when I almost choked to death on a grape. Luckily (?) he’d broken his arm and so he threw me over his cast and whacked me on the back, and the hard cast helped leverage the grape out of my windpipe. Being “right there” isn’t a solution.
Lurker says
At 19, I choked on a large grape w/ a seed on an international flight to France. It was terrifying and embarrassing at the same time. I managed to cough it up eventually but I’ve been so careful eating grapes since – even as an adult.

after working for the better part of a decade in biglaw, i have my first interview coming up this week with the ftc, my dream job. any advice? i havent been to a job interview since law school and i’m rusty.
sfg says
Prepare your answer for “why do you want to change jobs?”
Anon in NYC says
Also, if you mention wanting to go into public service, find some way to weave in public service-y things that you have done (like pro bono).
pockets says
I had to interview after being at the place I’d worked at for almost 6 years. I found that it was much easier to interview at that time than it was right out of law school. You have a lot of experience to talk about and you know what you want out of a job and what you’d bring to the table. I would have prepared replies to why you want to change jobs, why you want this particular job, and what skills you’re bringing with you. And brush up on a few matters that you can talk about – particularly interesting legal issues, cases on which you had a of responsibility, or a story about you using a skill that would be important to the new job.
One common theme on my job interviews at that time was the employer trying to grill me to make sure I had the experience I said I had. I’m a personal injury defense attorney, so I was asked what medical experts I liked to use, which plaintiff’s firms I liked and didn’t like, etc. I assume it wasn’t to gather field-specific intel, but to ensure that I had the litigation experience I claimed to have.
Anonymous says
Prepare, prepare, prepare. My husband is a great interviewer and helped coach me in preparation; not sure what I would have done without him. Prepare specific examples of things you worked on that you will want to use as examples of certain skills/times you took initiative/times you figured x out… Prepare for the question of whether you are prepared for the huge pay cut. On the other hand, try not to sound like a robot — a lot of it is about fit. There was an interesting article, I think in NY Mag, about how interviewers tend to like folks who reflect their personality…

ETex says
Random question – I’m buying a gift off an amazon registry for a baby shower – do I send it to my house and wrap it and bring it to the shower, or do I send it straight there a la wedding gifts? Never been to a shower before! (I had better figure it out since I am also preg, but that’s another story!)
S says
Unless it’s very big and bulky bring it to the shower.
mascot says
+1. A large portion of the shower will be dedicated to the opening of gifts and everyone cooing over tiny socks.
Jen says
Bring it, unless for some reason (a stroller you’d have to schlep on a flight) doing so is unreasonable. Baby showers are like bridal showers- half the party is present opening.

Kindergarten questions!
1) Our preschool used to microwave lunches sent from home, so I used to send pasta in a glass bowl like pyrex, with lid. Our kindergarten (maybe all kindergartens?) doesn’t, and the glass bowl is heavy for my kid to carry in his backpack, so I’m looking to get a BPA-free plastic lunchbox that isn’t too heavy. Any recommendations?
2) Good kid-friendly yet healthy lunches that can be eaten cold or at room temperature? My kid is not too into eating, and the few things he eats well are pasta, noodles with stir-fried tofu, and mac and cheese. He isn’t fond of peanut butter. He doesn’t eat a lot of meat other than grilled chicken. I could do cut up fruit and maybe a cheese sandwich but looking for options with good protein.
3) Water bottle solution? If the water bottle goes into the backpack, it rolls around and leaks. Should I look into getting another water bottle with a strap that can be carried separately? Or another backpack that has an outside compartment for water bottle?
NewMomAnon says
For high protein lunches that can be eaten cold – hard boiled eggs, yogurt pouches, cold quesadillas. You could also send the Barilla Plus pasta (cooked and cooled) – it has a pretty high protein content.
Anon in NYC says
Hummus + cut up veggies are a high-protein option. What about black bean + cheese quesadillas, where you mash or puree the beans (if he’s picky about that stuff)? Also, can you send a thermos? I’ve started using the Foogo thermos for my LO and I think it does a pretty decent job of keeping things warm. I don’t think a 5 year old would have a difficult time opening it.
CHJ says
+1 to the Foogo. I send hot food in the Foogo all the time to daycare. Ideas: pasta, chili, teriyaki meatballs (from Costco), chicken fingers, quesadillas…
For water bottles, check out Avex-brand bottles. They are the most leak-proof that I’ve found.
hoola hoopa says
(1) I doubt any grade school reheats food. They also must be able to open everything themselves. I like the glad stuff for lunches. They seal well, the kids can open them, they wash up well in the dishwasher, and inexpensive enough to not care if they don’t come home (even though they nearly always come back).
(2) Sunbutter sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, and yogurt are the main proteins we pack. Deli meat roll-ups, chicken skewers, hummus or soft cheese with bagels/crackers, and homemade ‘lunchables’ are popular with some of my friends’ kids, who sound more like your kiddo. I know a lot of kids will eat things like mac and cheese or chicken nuggets at room temp. If you want a heated option, I know people use the funtainers.
(3) Wildkins lunchboxes (amazon) have a strap that holds the bottle. I’m a huge fan.
hoola hoopa says
(3) Thermos funtainers don’t leak if they roll around. Try a contigo autoseal if kiddo has a hard time remembering to close.
mascot says
1) Amazon or HomeGoods/big box store have a dizzying array of plastic storage options. We liked some of the bento style ones with removable sections.
2) Greek yogurt, individual hummus/guacamole with veggies for dipping, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, cold chicken strips, pizza, etc. My kid likes things on skewers (tomato/mozzarella balls/cucumber skewers were a bog hit this summer), things he can dip, and things to assemble like cheese and crackers stacks. But, if you find a few lunches that he really likes and meet your criteria, I’d just send those and work on variety at other meals.
3) Get a different waterbottle? we’ve got a camelback podium big chill and it doesn’t leak.
jlg says
If you want lightweight w/ minimal plastic, look for stainless containers.
anon says
We are using Easy Lunchboxes plastic divided trays for the preschooler – easy to open, but not entirely watertight (e.g. bad for yogurt). To add to the protein ideas for picky eaters, I suggest turkey pepperoni. And my son eats his pasta cold (prefers it that way actually). The only water bottle we have that doesn’t leak is the Nalgene Grip N Gulp. Also easy to clean – no straws.
re: variety – I personally ate PBJ just about every single day from Kindergarten through 8th grade, except for 1st grade, when I ate grilled american cheese all year. I was horribly picky, but apparently well-nourished enough.
shortperson says
i eschew plastic and love planetbox. it’s pricey but very high quality. they sell water bottles that fit in their lunchboxes as well. i cant speak to those since we dont use those for the toddler.
Ally McBeal says
I adore planetbox. We’ve had ours for 2.5 years and it is still in perfect shape.
