I don’t know about you guys, but the sweatshirt trend has coincided wonderfully with motherhood for me — including lovely, warm fleecey goodness like this one. After too many incidents where the boys got yogurt/snot/spit/lord knows what else on cashmere sweaters, I almost exclusively wear stuff like this on the weekends or on long mommy days. This one comes in a zillion colors, and is $48. Gibson ‘Yummy Fleece’ High/Low V-Neck Pullover
(If you happen to be a Costco member, this $11 one is also nice and soft.)

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?
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive white-noise machine, ideally cordless and that just plays neutral sounds like static or a fan? Our baby’s room is really an alcove off our room, and we’ve used a fan until now just to mask the noise we make moving around in our room. Baby is now mobile and so our box-fan-on-the-floor with an exposed cord (only plug is under the crib…) is no longer the safest option! But I can’t really imagine spending $40-50 on a white noise machine. We don’t want to use our phones. Thanks!
LOL at “Jaws.” I’m sorry this happened, and I understand why you would be both concerned and also defensive of your baby. How are you responding with your daughter?
I am dreading the day my 9.5MO son bites one of his daycare mates… I have tried to be proactive and tell his teachers that he’s using his rapidly-teething mouth to bite me, my husband, the cat (yes), and every object or piece of furniture he can. We’re of course trying to teach him not to bite, but he’s not quite getting the message yet, and I’m so scared he’ll get a piece of a kid at daycare. Not out of aggression, but I don’t think that matters to the bitten one!
My 13-month old kiddo bit another kid at daycare. According to her teacher, she was defending herself, as the other kid was bugging her (not that makes it okay, but it makes me feel a little better). She’s the youngest/smallest in her room and the only one who isn’t walking.
I know this is a normal part of development, and it doesn’t mean she’s going to be the Biter and get kicked out of daycare, but I’m concerned, embarrassed and even a little angry on her behalf, since it does sound like she was responding to another kid’s aggression (which is silly, because the other kid is still a one-year-old).
Went back to my bookshelf and it turns out the BF book I liked is called Breastfeeding Made Simple; my doula recommended it. I do have Womanly Art too but the other one was my go-to. [AEK here]
Hi everyone! My company is starting open season for health insurance. After ten months of not getting pregnant, my husband and I are considering the possibility of infertility treatments. BCBS, my current insurer, does not cover this. Kaiser HMO, another option, does. I am a little squeamish about going to Kaiser because I have an IBS disorder and was not thrilled with their treatment, and like my BCBS doctor. However, the cost savings of moving to Kaiser, and the fact that infertility would be covered, would be significant. Does anyone have any advice or experience with either? Paying out to pocket under BCBS to Shady Grove Fertility, where my doctor would refer me, or treatment under Kaiser? Thanks so much for any thoughts or advice!
The (way-too-generous) grandparents are starting to ask about Christmas presents, particularly for my baby girl (who will be 6 months then). Because we also have a toddler (and, like I said, crazy generous grandparents), we already have SOOO many toys and books, and all of the baby stuff that I can think of needing (and toddler has a birthday coming soon, so more toys!). I’m hesitant to suggest something experience-based, because I can’t think of much and I know that they’ll want to give things that can be unwrapped. Baby will need clothes and dishes, but other than that, I have no idea what to suggest. Any ideas for older-baby stuff that we might not have thought of that won’t just create more clutter?
