Something about this machine washable, ottoman zip top really strikes me as Audrey-like. I like that it has a thick fabric, and the seams and the zips all strike me as distinctive and interesting. It’s available in steel blue, navy, black, white, and a yellowy chartreuse — and it’s marked down to $70.20. (A longer version is here for $79) Boden Ottoman Zip Top

Hi Kat,
Can you consider making CorporetteMoms searchable? I was looking for the baby carrier post from a few months ago and it’s hard to find.
Love the helpfulness and readability of comments on here – thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences!
I need some advice on how to lose 5 pounds of belly weight. I’ve always been slim and my stomach has been reasonably flat (I usually carry weight in my hips, not my stomach). After my first child, my body bounced back. Now after my second child (8 months PP), I have a noticeable pooch. Any strategies for getting rid of it? I normally wear pretty tailored outfits and I can’t fit into most of my work clothes, which is frustrating.
Speaking of pumping … Any recommendations for cooler bags for traveling with breastmilk? I’m going on a 4-day trip (without baby) so hopefully will be bringing back 80-100oz. I was looking at the Polar 12-can cooler bag on Amazon, has anyone used that or have other recommendations?
Guys, I’m still not getting email notifications that someone responds here, even though I clicked the “notify me of follow up comments by email” Anyone else have the same issue?
Does anyone know of any resources or have any personal tips on what I should know in advance if I want to pump almost exclusively? I don’t get the impression that this is something lactation consultants are particularly helpful with, and feel totally clueless about the process. I am particularly looking for information about when to start and how to navigate the first week or two.
Good morning ladies, question about pumping at work. I’m going back to work on Monday and I plan to pump. Do I tell people right off the bat (i.e. When I pick up a deal should I let the partner know, hey FYI I’ll be pumping….) or do I only bring it up if I need to?
