I haven’t heard of the brand Nurture-Elle before, and although some of their pictures are kind of bizarre (at least at Nordstrom), this one looks like a good top. I like that there’s a strip of fabric at the top that you can push up as well as pull down so it leaves you less exposed. It seems like a nice top for pregnancy as well as nursing, and it’s made from stretch jersey and is machine washable. It’s $49 at Nordstrom in XS-XXL. Cowl Neck Short Sleeve Nursing Top

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?
So, launching off the gun conversation above, what would you do in this situation? My in-laws have had a cavalier attitude toward baby-proofing (“It’s amazing any of our kids survived, isn’t it?”), and they have an unfenced pool. For Mother’s Day, we’re supposed to go over to their house for a large family gathering (10 adults, 3 kids, and 3-7 dogs), which will be indoor/outdoor. My concerns are that there’s absolutely no barrier between where we’ll be and the pool, it’s a very chaotic environment, and Kiddo loves water and tends to run into any water he sees.
My husband just asked his father about fencing the pool. He also sent an article from the AAP’s website, which my FIL (who’s a pediatric specialist) generally respects. Would you insist on the fence before attending the large family event? I don’t usually like ultimatums, but is this a place for one?
What would you do? I’m flying with my husband, four-year-old, and sixteen-month-old, and we’re trying to figure out whether to buy a seat for the little one. It’ll be an hour-and-a-half flight. He’s incredibly active and really doesn’t take well to being held sitting down (he was sick a couple weeks back and I had to pace around the house holding him because he’d wail when I would sit down). If we have him on our laps, we’ll be able to sit together in one row; if we buy him a seat, we can put him in the car seat and he might “get” that he’ll have to be still for a while. Thoughts??
Can anyone speak to their experience with IM progesterone, mainly how bad/not bad the shots are? I’ve done IVF before (successfully) and didn’t need any IMs then, but now have been prescribed IM prog for an FET. I did fine with self-administering SC shots in the past, but am apparently a huge wuss about IM shots… Also, any luck self-administering IM? There’s a chance I’ll need to travel while taking the meds.
Ugh. Making a baby the non-traditional way is no fun, especially knowing how fun the alternative is.
Does anyone have recommendations for sun protection suit (not sure what these things are called) for a baby? We have a three month old and are gearing up for beach season. Any other tips for taking a baby to the beach (i.e. Do I just need to commit on staying indoors with him during peak sun hours?)
Fun question – What would you treat yourself to with $100-200?
I need some gift ideas for myself. I have a birthday and mother’s day coming up and need ideas to pass along to DH. I have a toddler and am 6 months pregnant. We already have spa day covered.
I have loved reading the answers to this question in the past, and am I excited that I get to ask it this time!
Anyone else crying over Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue last night?
I’m curious how other parents navigate the gun issue with play dates, and specifically if you would want other parents to offer up the information that they had guns in the home even if you didn’t ask? We live in an area where gun ownership is prevalent (I would guess 50% or more of the population owns guns). We own guns, both rifles and handguns. They are stored, unloaded, in a locked safe and the ammunition is stored in a separate, locked container in another part of the house. We have one handgun that is loaded in a fingerprint accessible safe in our bedroom. I would offer all this information if asked, and respect if the parents decided they didn’t want their kid at our house, but do I offer it even if the parents don’t ask?
I checked out more from this brand because I’m tired of the high prices at milk nursingwear and bored of their clothes and let me just say, FINALLY, a maternity and nursing crop top! -_-
You are right. I remember several mother’s day celebrations where my mom nicely feigned interest in the bowl of cold cereal on a tray with some mauled flowers we pulled out of the yard while trying to keep the dog’s nose out of the orange juice.
Kiddo’s biggest complaint from her first day of her new school was that she didn’t get to eat all of her lunch (which was admittedly too big because I assumed she would pick and choose what she wanted to eat, and wanted to give her some options). I consider that a huge success. Also – today’s lunch is smaller and simpler. Lesson learned.
Would it make me a horrible person to be totally selfish about Mother’s day this year? My family doesn’t have a strong mother’s day tradition (not really part of our culture), but my husband’s family does, and last year (the first year of our baby’s life) our Mother’s day was pretty much all about my MIL. My MIL is amazing and incredible and an amazing support to me, and I don’t want to take the day away from her, but I would like to start our own little family tradition. To complicate things my own mom passed away six months ago and so the advertising barrage around Mother’s day is difficult this year. For father’s day last year (husband’s dad is not in the picture) we had a walk and brunch just us and baby and I gave him a little baby craft-y gift and photo. I sort of want that for myself. But I guess I just don’t know how to navigate it. Advice?
Update: Daughter did not have a concussion. The center director and I spoke, and my daughter will no longer switch between the Toddler 1 & Toddler 2 rooms. Those rooms have different chairs (one with arms, ones without), and I think my daughter is not processing they are different yet. Also, the center will consider getting new chairs for the Toddler 2 classroom because the director does not care for those chairs anyway. I feel better.
Thanks for the feedback yesterday.
