Reader M wrote in to nominate this cardigan, noting, “I bought one a few weeks ago and I have already gotten so much use out of it. I can nurse discreetly in public without a separate cover, the fabric is warm and cozy and the shape is flattering for postpartum lumps. The fleece (a nice sweatshirt material) is probably too casual for the office, although it’s fantastic for maternity leave. It comes in lots of colors, is machine washable, and is currently on sale. It also looks like there is a knit version that could be suitable for work.” Nice! It comes in 38 (!!!) colors, and has almost 2000 (!!!) positive reviews — and that is just the fleece version; there is also the drapey rayon version and a more summery poly blend. The pictured cardigan comes in sizes XS-XL, regular, petite, and plus size, and is marked down from $58 to $39.90. (Allegedly some colors are $19.90, but after adding about six of them to my cart I can’t for the life of me figure out which.) Bobeau Asymmetrical Fleece Wrap Cardigan

I just returned this cardigan. Loved the feel of it, but it was too short for my 5’10” frame and way too tight through the shoulders (not usually a problem for me since I’m wearing larges while I breastfeed. But if it fit, it would be a very useful piece.
I know the main corpore!!e page readers roll their eyes when we talk about Lands End as “fashion” but I just ordered 2 pairs of adorable flats from Lands End. I am SO excited about them (and I got 25% off plus free shipping). Thought I’d mention them here for pregnant ladies who are past high heels! Link to follow.
Hi ladies, does anyone have a recommendation for a great maternity coat? I live in Chicago so will definitely be needing a warm coat this winter. Thanks in advance!
I am starting to prepare for maternity leave. I am an in-house attorney and I do not see most of my clients in person. To date, if it hasn’t come up naturally in conversation, I have not mentioned that I am expecting. I was wondering what others have done in preparation for maternity leave. We have talked a lot about transition work, but I am wondering about the communication to clients. Did you communicate to your clients that you were expecting and would be out? Did you provide them guidance on who to contact in your absence? What did you do to prepare your clients before leave?
I love the collapse/expand option! Yay! Keep it!
I have this cardigan and it is AMAZING. It is like a fancy sweatshirt, basically.
Thanks for all the comments on the mittens! We’re going to try some stores in person and, if that fails, try ordering from Amazon.
“All made in China, none organic.”
Fin.
My sisters and mother live across the country. With first baby on the way we received and said thank you to them for a number of gifts. They weren’t what we asked for, many were not age appropriate, and we would rather have just gotten nothing to some extent. We still need basics so getting dozens of onesies (all made in China, none organic) in very small sizes is kind of annoying.
On top of it all they are using us as a dumping ground and mailing us used stuff, some of which is over 25 years old and in poor condition or stained. Basically any children’s clothing they have (any size up to stuff that could fit an 8 year old) they mail to us. I think the cost of shipping is worth more than the stuff they are sending. Presumably they want us to store this stuff for another 8 years and use it.
Since no one is home we have to go to the post office to pick up these packages and then deal with the package (no pick up recycling where we live).
They recently messaged my husband (who they have met two times) and asked what they could send. They’ve done this before but only ever with me. He suggested toys and pointed out some specific things we were planning to buy ourselves. Rather than buy them they told us they would rather just keep sending us whatever they like. Another package is at the post office for pickup.
I am really fed up. I don’t want this stuff or need it and I don’t want to go pick it up, I’m tired and it’s snowing. We don’t need gifts from anyone, (I refused to have a shower), we can buy our own baby stuff that we actually want. Suggestions?
