Everyone Thursday: One Button Soft Blazer

Banana Republic has a number of soft blazers in stock right now, but this soft blazer looks like it has promise to be that great basic black blazer to go with everything. It’s available in regular, tall and petite sizes, and is full price at $150 — but with code BRSOME it comes down to $112.50 (through 2/8). Nice! BR One Button Soft Blazer
Psst: Note that sister site Gap is having the biggest little kids and baby sale (up to 40% off, plus an extra 10% off if you spend $100+), and Old Navy also has all kids on sale, up to 50% off (plus free shipping with $25+).
P.P.S.: if you’re on the hunt for a classic Missoni knit blazer, this one is deeply discounted.
UPDATE: OK, one more link to share: Figure 8 Maternity is having a 5-day sale on Bravado bras. Buy 3 get 1 free — not bad.

Does anyone have any recommendations for pumping at work when you don’t have an office? I have a demanding job (I am in-house counsel) and I am worried about the time commitment of pumping and my productivity. Any tips for getting work done when you have to pump away from your workspace?
Morning. I don’t have any pumping experience (pregnant with my first), but I am also IHC. Can you bring a document to read? Or answer simple/administrative emails (the ones that clutter the inbox, but don’t require a ton of research or documentation to answer) while you pump to clear those things off the plate? Or possibly make this your “mental break” of the day — the time you read cor*or*tte, check email, order your groceries, write back to your friend who has checked in on you, pay your electric bill, etc? I tend to do those things in 15ish minute breaks scattered throughout the day when I just need a moment to step away from work, or when I am transitioning from one thing to another.
I reiterate – I have NO pumping experience. So, if experienced pumpers are reading this thinking, “isn’t she in for a shock when her time comes around,” please step right up to educate me! :)
Just found out that there is a lice outbreak in my daughter’s day care. I don’t think my daughter has any (will find out later as everyone is being checked); assuming she does not, any tips on how to make sure she stays that way? If she does, any tried and true remedies to recommend? Daughter is all over the place in our house — her bed, my bed, couches, rugs — so afraid containment will be a logistical nightmare. Thanks
Random TJ — what’s the best baby / kid item you own *right now*? Not the best thing ever, just that random thing that is making the difference to save your sanity or get through the current phase.
For us, it’s a box of hand-me-down burp cloths that I thought I’d never use, but baby has suddenly become a spitter and it turns out I’d rather not have to spend money on something specifically to get thrown up on.
Anyone have a subtle “Do not Disturb” sign for pumping?
I have decided that I’m finished pumping. Its been a year +. Is it a terrible idea to just go cold turkey? I didn’t pump at all yesterday, and I was pretty full when I got home, but after a couple nursing sessions last night, I was fine. I’m thinking I can continue like this until my body figures out to stop making so much milk during the day. I’m not planning on stopping breastfeeding, just pumping.
Hi ladies. Desperate for some calming words here. Had a dentist appointment today. Told dentist when I booked that I was pregnant and she told me to book in second trimester, because that’s the safest, but that I really should take care of the cavity ASAP because teeth are soft in pregnancy, it will only get worse, blah, blah. Went today and reminded her that I was pregnant. For some reason the Novocaine was not working, so she had to shoot me up quite a few times. I freaked out on my drive back to work (like, mentally went to a place of “i killed my baby” in about 5 seconds flat), and emailed them to ask what they used. They told me Lidocaine & Mepivacaine. I looked them up and Mepivacaine is a class c drug — risks to fetus cannot be ruled out.
Please someone tell me that you got work done during pregnancy and everything was A-OK. I am kicking myself for not calling my regular doctor, but I thought by asking my dentist TWO DIFFERENT TIMES, she would be the right expert on the drugs she administers.
Am I just going to be stressed for the next 5 months? Sigh. Probably.
first time mom question- where can I use a change pad for baby- can I use any table or chair in a public space as long as I am fast and neat or do I need to go find a bathroom?
My 5 month old daughter has really dry skin – red, chapped cheeks – and the doctor recommended using baby Aquaphor by Eucerine. I have been using it and it has been working, but I would really love a more natural solution. I have tried coconut oil, but that has not been effective. So, first, am I being ridiculous? (If the Aquaphor is working, why not keep using it.) If not ridiculous, does anyone have any recommendations for natural alternatives?
