Chadwicks has a line of travel knits that are machine washable, packable (which I read as “wrinkle resistant”), and very affordable. There are skirts, pants, even knit blazers in the line, but my favorite is this faux wrap top with side ruching — it looks like something I’d wear the heck out of on the weekend or to work, with pants, a pencil skirt, jeans… whatever. It’s on sale from $19-$29, and available in six colors, sizes S-XL. Chadwicks Travel Knit Cap Sleeve Wrap Top

Speaking of venting… I am so sick of people who tell me “just wait” whenever I express the slightest bit of happiness or gratitude about my baby. Seriously. If someone asks how it’s going and I say anything positive, I get “oh, well [insert horrifying warning of what’s to come here]”. Yeah, I know that in two years she’ll be a tantruming nightmare and in twelve years she’ll be injecting heroin into her eyeballs and screaming that she hates me before trying to burn down the house, but can people just not let me be happy and be happy for me? Grumble. /end rant.
Ever have those days when you’re working long hours for a crazy client, tired and then your child is being extra whiny and annoying and you’re running late, and then you feel guilty because the child is being annoying because of lack of attention because you’re too busy? (And I’m getting sick from child’s school germs, and 7 months pregnant too.) That is all – just venting.
Would any of you accept a used car seat? I’ve read that you should never get a used car seat, and my husband is not in favor of it due to safety concerns (I understand his concern and share it). I’m just wondering if I’m buying too much into first-time-parent fears. My friend has generously offered to give us a bunch of baby stuff that she has from her two kids. Some of it is great (pack n play, clothes) and some of it I won’t take or have doubts about (really old crib that doesn’t conform to current safety standards, used car seat). The car seat has never been in an accident, is known for its safety ratings, and is about 3 years old.
I have been struggling with breastfeeding ever since my son was born in October. At this point, I am still pumping primarily. Even when he does latch on and suckle (which I find to be more painful than pumping), he seems just as hungry when he is done as when he started, so I still have to give him a full bottle. Has anyone dealt with something like this? Did things ultimately improve? Did you make any adjustments to make your life easier? How did you know if / when to throw in the towel, and did that mean (for you) pumping exclusively or formula feeding exclusively? I am totally drained and feeling like a failure. Thanks in advance.
Best organization methods for a toddler and an infant? We have had the cube cubbys from Target and they worked but they don’t anymore. (Or I need a better system). The amount of toys is just insane and are strung everywhere. I have no idea how to function in my house, or even to walk across it in low light without endangering life and limb.
seraphine, a pea in the pod have great selections. Nordstrom has good things too
My sister is pregnant and I’d like to get her a gift card to a store that sells maternity clothes as a “congratulations! you’re having a baby!” gift. However…she’s the first person I know who’s having a baby, so I’m totally clueless as to where she might even purchase maternity clothes.
Does anyone have any recommendations for stores (online or brick and mortar) that sell trendier maternity clothes? I know she’ll need the basics too, but I’d like to give her a little leeway to buy something fun as she’s young and very trendy/stylish.
