This dress looks great for maternity, nursing, and even pumping. I like the dark, sedate colors, as well as the mostly glowing reviews. It’s $99-$109 at Amazon in sizes S-XL. Dote Women’s Maternity and Nursing Twinkle Dress

- 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?
Can someone suggest some nursing clothing that someone in their 20s would wear? Also is it really comfortable or practical to wear nursing clothing over a nursing bra? I would like clothing that doesn’t make me feel old and frumpy (I hate the dress in his post). At some point I feel like it’s just be easier to take the clothing off altogether (lol). I’d like one brand I could get all my basics from at a reasonable price point. Willing to spend a reasonable amount since I will be wearing these longer than my mat stuff. Relied on topshop for mat clothing, really sad they don’t sell nursing stuff.
The husband and I both work and have good incomes. We were both raised by people of modest means (his first home was a trailer, my dad declared bankrupcy when I was young). So we could afford to buy a new playpen or whatever but we would prefer to buy used for the sake of the environment and because of our values (we only intend on the one kid).
We live in an area where people tend to have many kids (meaning they don’t sell their stuff) and where people often want close to the new price for used items. I figure a used item should cost 50% of what it would cost new, tops, the stuff listed on Kijiji indicates people don’t agree with me.
At what point does it become not worth our time to try and get deals and to go to second hand kids stores? Kind of wondering about this on a going forward basis as well.
Just wondering what you guys do – for example if you are looking to buy your baby a swing how much time would you put into finding a used one before just buying the thing on amazon and having it shipped to your house? Or do you just wait for it to go on sale and then buy it online?
Do you ladies have any recommendations for infant car seat covers- ones you leave on the seat during use and can take out easily for washing?
Exciting and happy news– CPA baby arrived on Thursday morning! She stayed breech, I ended up having the c-section, and so far the recovery is going really smoothly.
I am wearing a great top today that is coincidentally nursing-friendly: Nordstrom item #699793. It’s machine washable, too! (Who knew I would find this so exciting.)
I wish more companies made nursing dresses that aren’t also maternity.
Not loving this dress. It has a bit of a nightgown vibe. I’d love to get something in that colour though to take me through the fall at work and then to wear while nursing over the holidays. Any suggestions for maternity/nursing dresses in similar colours?
Thanks to everyone for answering my question yesterday about stocking up on diapers. I also found a pretty good guide online from a couponing blog:

I really like that she walks you through the math of how much/fast baby grows, and what’s a good price for a diaper based on size. Thought someone else here might find it useful too.
