Knit shirts can be a bit hard to find, so I took notice when I saw this lovely Caslon blouse on sale at Nordstrom. The t-shirt material says to “hand wash,” and the buttons would be great if you’re nursing and/or pumping and prefer something blouse-like. I like the red best, but it also comes in four other colors. It was $58 but is now marked to $34 in regular and petite sizes. Caslon Long Sleeve Knit Shirt

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
I feel like this might have been asked recently but can’t find it. My daughter will be 6 months old in December. We have all of the baby gear we need right now but with Black Friday (now in Canada even though it’s not our thanksgiving!) I am thinking of doing some shopping for stuff we will need soon I.e. Baby gates. What other gear did you need in months 6-12? I have also already picked up our next stage car seat. Similarly, any Christmas gift ideas for this age range? Thanks!
WEejust went through this, also. The first couple of days, my daughter did not nap at all and two weeks later she walks over to her cot and goes to sleep by herself! I saw it with my own eyes! Amazing!
We just met with daycare to discuss my son’s transition to the “older” infant room (12-18 months). Apparently the expectation is that he can drink from a sippy cup and walk by a year old (he doesn’t) and learn to nap on a cot and eat with a plate, spoon, and open cup by 14 months (which seems unlikely). Also, my son apparently “nibbles” and headbuts the other kids. I’m suddenly panicking that he is delayed on meeting all these expectations (even though I never had concerns until now) and causing behavioral issues. Somebody please talk me down?
Toddler sleep question. My 20 mo old twins generally wake up around 6:30am, go down for nap around 12:30pm, look at books/”talk” for about 30 min, then nap until around 3:30, and bedtime is at 7:00. For the last several nights, they’ve had a really hard time settling down at bedtime. They didn’t go to sleep until 8:30 last night and the last few nights have been similar. Mostly they’re okay just playing with their stuffed animals, rolling around in their cribs, and chattering to each other, but after almost an hour of this, they get fussy and don’t want to be in bed anymore. (Last night I gave them their munchkin owl nightlights and a few boardbooks. They finally went to sleep, but I stupidly forgot to take the owls out of the cribs and so they were up and playing with the lights at 5:45 this morning.)
I’m wondering whether they’re napping too long during the day. I had heard that by 2 yrs old, most kids are taking a shorter afternoon nap, but mine still sleep as long as 3 hrs some days. I could push bedtime back, but it would really be better for us if their nap was just shorter. Plus it seems like it’s probably healthier to sleep more at night and less during the day. Should we just be waking them up from nap earlier? (One of mine would NOT take that well. He’s crabby for awhile after waking up from nap as it is.) Or should we just figure on a later bedtime?
Quick poll: Thinking of making a quick overnight trip to Canada for husband’s work Christmas party. We live in the states. Kids (16 months and 3.5) would stay with a family friend who is a graduate student. She was a nanny for 6+ years for a family with 6 kids, and she knows my kids well (but has never stayed overnight with them). Normally grandparents would be close by for backup but they’ll be out of town when the potential trip takes place. We do have some other families in the area who could probably serve as backup if there are any issues. Kids would go to daycare, she would pick them up and watch them overnight. Husband and I would be home sometime the next day. Thoughts? I’m nervous about going out of the country but I would like to go and I do trust the person who would be staying with the girls. What would you do?
Weird Q, but: what is your favorite fabric softener? I haven’t used one in years but just read it’s supposed to be great for extending the life of clothes. I’m leaning to the organic ones first — Mrs. Meyer’s, Ecover, Seventh Gen — anyone have any favorites in the bunch (or favorites in general)? TIA!
Can anyone recommend someplace to stay in Miami with a baby in January?
I’m hoping to do a long weekend somewhere warm/beachy with my 5 month old and husband prior to returning to work. A pool is a must, as is the availability of suites.
Open to other locations, but looking for beach weather and the shortest direct flight possible from NYC. We’ve done all inclusive in Jamaica (pre baby) and loved it, but looking for something a bit cheaper.
