Another spot with a great sale going on: Figure8, which specializes in maternity and beyond — including one of the widest selections of nursing and maternity brands that I know of. This nursing top from Everly Gray looks great — machine washable, functional, loose, and flattering (that ruching will hide a multitude of postpartum body issues).

Hi! I finally scheduled an appointment at a fertility clinic and am excited to get started. Question for anyone that has gone this route: How involved was your husband? I kind of want to go to first two appointments (consult and then testing for me) by myself and let him join for his testing and then the fourth visit which I think is when a plan is finally developed. I think he wants to go for everything – but only because he thinks he’s supposed to. For whatever reason I feel weird about him joining….
Thanks!
What is everyone’s go to for baby pajamas? We have Hanna Anderson and do enjoy them, but I also just love plain old Carters terry cloth snap up PJs and much to my dismay now that my son is size 12months, they don’t make the cotton or terry cloth sleep and play PJs in his size. When you go up to 12 months they are a different kind of PJ, more narrow and skinny (I understand that this is for suffocation safety but his little turkey thighs don’t fit well in these) and they all zip, whereas I kind of like snaps. Anyone know of size 12 month or bigger snap up PJs, plus if they aren’t also super skinny?!

Hi friends – another Bellefit corset user reporting back. After reading Kat’s review and the comments on her post about this, I took the plunge and bought one. I’ve been wearing it for about a week, roughly 4-5 out of 7 days (this is because I’m short-waisted so the corset boning stabs me in my sides, right above my ribs). I’ve now decided — because of the stabbing, and because it’s freaking HOT where I live — that I’m going to wear it every other day.
Other than the stabbiness, I have to say that I do like this product! (Well, “like” is a strong word, but I think it performs as advertised). I had terrible diastatis recti after my last baby and am hopeful this will help prevent that from happening again — everything feels more pulled-together, less loosey-goosey than before. And while I tend to always carry extra weight in my tummy, my pooch is definitely smaller at 3 weeks postpartum this time around than it was with my last two kids. Hope this is helpful to someone!
Sleep question! Thanks in advance for any tips or commiseration.
For the past many months, bedtime has been very easy with my 22 month old. Some milk, a few books, and that’s it. I put her in her crib sleepy or wide awake, and within a few minutes of rolling around or happy babbling, she goes to sleep. In other ways she can be very challenging, so I really value this easy, peaceful part of our day.
Two nights ago, I put her in her crib like always. Ten seconds later, hysterical sobbing. Tried to let her cry it out, but after 30 min she was still going strong and getting more and more upset. After an hour of in-and-out of the room, soothing her, etc., husband finally rocked her to sleep. At 4 am she woke up, screaming commenced, and she could be soothed only by husband sleeping on the floor next to her crib. The same thing happened last night (except I rocked her to sleep right away, minus the hour of back-and-forth). Again, at 4 am exactly she started screaming, but was content to be in her crib as long as I lay beside her on the floor. She’d even pop her head up to check that I was still there.
So it seems this is sudden, intense separation anxiety that is hitting only at night. Any recommendations to sooth her, without us having to be present? Nightlight? Or do we just need to ride out this phase?
Could someone give a quick lesson in what triggers moderation? I seem to always get stuck. Thanks!
Coming off a very frustrating parenting weekend. My guys are 16 months and are getting ALL the teeth. I think they’re working on a total of 9 between the two of them, including many, many molars. One of them basically spent Saturday sobbing (we gave him baby Tylenol, but he was just a mess from the pain, not eating much because of the pain, not sleeping much because of the pain — if his brother just looked at him funny, he completely melted down). Sunday was better, but we were deep into “let’s test all of mommy’s boundaries” territory all day. I think I said nothing but “no” or “that was NOT a nice pet!” or “we don’t play in the dog’s water bowl.” Please tell me 16 months is just a tough age. And that 16 months x 2 is super tough. Lots of movement. No self-preservation. Minimal language. Lots of feelings…and frustration…and whining.
Any recommendations for how-to books on potty training? I was doing some research on Amazon, but of course the reviewers seem to have very, very strong opinions (good and bad) on the various books and strategies. Any books or websites that have worked well for your families?
