Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Cotton Modal Yoga Wrap Sweater

A cardigan (well, ideally several!) is always a great option when you’re nursing, and while actual nursing cardigans exist, like this one at Nordstrom, a plain old cardigan works just fine (although some provide more coverage than others, of course). This one is from Core 10, one of Amazon’s activewear/loungewear brands.
It’s soft, comfortable, and machine washable — and it has thumbholes! It’s also getting great reviews. And if you’re not nursing, this looks like a nice, cozy cardigan in general.
The cardigan comes in three colors, is $51.40, and is eligible for Prime. It’s available in sizes XS–3X. Cotton Modal Yoga Wrap Sweater

- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Daycare told us two staff members tested positive, but no info beyond that. They say HIPAA prevents them from giving us any info about which classrooms they worked in or people they had contact with. That’s weird, right? We’re not asking for a name, just whether or not my daughter had close contact with the infected people. Either way, my daughter’s teacher has been out sick this week so I think we have to assume DD was exposed. Teachers are supposed to wear masks all the time and the kids wear masks except when sleeping and eating so I’m trying to remain optimistic, but it’s hard not to feel anxious.
Is a hoverboard OK for my 7 y/o? She has one on her list and says she’s used them at friends’ houses (all of which have older siblings- mine is the oldest). i’m inclined to get the one that is on sale this week at Target but I noticed it’s rated as a 12+. I can’t think of ANY kids that I’ve seen on these things that are 14– most of them are older elem school.
Thoughts?
My 3.5 yo is in a new daycare, a large chain so I thought they had the COVID precautions down. We got a notice that a child tested positive and was at daycare that day. So… child was exposed, parents got them tested and sent them to daycare while waiting for results?! I am pretty taken aback – who does that. What would you do? Email the director just to express concern? Do nothing (it wasn’t my kid’s class and we haven’t heard of further cases)? I’m upset but not sure there is anything to be done.
Yesterday someone posted about the transition to whole milk and if their toddler is getting enough nutrients. I had the same concerns and found two things really helpful – 1. following child nutritionists on instagram. This helped me recalibrate what an appropriate serving size for a toddler really is. 2. The ezpz plate. It’s expensive for a kid plate but again, the little sections help me give the correct (smaller than I would think
My dad wants to get my kids a monitor and microphone set up (?) for doing video calls (zoom?) with out of town grandparents. Basically something to make those more fun for them (which is sweet because he’s actually the in town grandparent). Kids actually already do pretty well on video calls with out of town grandparents but usually running around fighting over holding my phone, so I can see having some sort of setup would be good. Or something that encourages more frequent calls? Does anyone have an idea?
instead of his idea, i was thinking maybe the amazon video echo or something like that? Kids are 5, 4, and 1.
Weird Covid question – is there any reason to tell my employer I tested positive if I’m working remotely and feel fine? DH and kiddos are home for a scheduled break this week anyways, and work is slow. I’m not sure there’s any incentive for me to tell.
Do you have a Thanksgiving breakfast tradition or recommendation? Bonus points if it pairs well with mimosas, lol.
A nonprofit group I work with is doing a free online toddler parenting class, Home for the Holidays with a Toddler. It follows Hand-in-Hand parenting principles, if you have ever used their website. The idea is to give you tools to help with your toddler and avoid parental overwhelm.

Preschooler has symptoms and got tested yesterday so we’re hunkered down for the rest of the week minimum. He’s only exposed at school (though they’re masked, they are 3) so I’m still holding out hope it’s some other random illness. Still, it’s awful having to mask up around your own kid, especially when he’s sick and says things like “snuggle me mommy”.
Only blessing is it is a holiday week so work is light. Send good vibes!!!
already thinking of christmas gifts. what are some of your favorite toys for elementary school kids and toddlers?

what’s everyones plan for thanksgiving break? worried about keeping two small kids entertained for four days with COVID and shitty weather.
About how long after birth did you get your first period? And include if you nursed/when you stopped nursing.
I’m a little over 4 months postpartum and still nursing, though baby is combo fed, and I still haven’t gotten my first period. I’ve read it can vary widely from person to person, but we would like to start trying for #2 around baby’s first birthday. I’m wondering how far in advance I might need to cut back or stop nursing for that to occur. I realize you can still get pregnant before your first postpartum period, but I’d like to have some sort of baseline for when we do start TTC #2.
