Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Green Sprouts Stay-Dry Infant Bibs

After our oldest was born, we weren’t sure about having a second, so we gave away most of her clothes and other baby gear. One item I repurchased for our son is Green Sprouts’ bibs.
Both our kids were very drooly, and these bibs are the best. They come in a rainbow of colors (or all white), stay dry underneath due to a waterproof inner layer, and last wash after wash.
Our version has a velcro closure that’s stronger than other bibs — our son likes to yank off his bibs, and he can’t rip this one off. Looks like they’ve updated the new version with a hook and eye closure.
The bibs are available in “blue” and “pink” (which actually includes other colors), and in all white. They’re $17.59 at Target or $17.99 at Amazon.

Hello! I need weaning help for my 19mo toddler. I’d like to wean him just because I’m ready. I nursed his older sister to 14m and weaning was no big deal. She wasn’t as interested and my body had no trouble. He only nurses once a day in the morning for about 10-15 mins total. Yesterday he bit me on one side so I stopped the nursing on that side since I’m ready to wean anyways. Well I woke up last night engorged and in pain on that side. I nursed him this morning but it still is sore from getting engorged last night. Now I’m afraid when I stop nursing it’ll be really painful or I’ll get mastitis (which I’ve had before). I ordered some Pink Stork no flow tea to drink after our final nursing session (ideally, next week). I guess I’ll start using a timer to reduce the amount of time of our morning session. But any other tips/ideas? All my friends either didn’t EBF or do extended breastfeeding (2.5 years or more) where the child eventually self weans
tldr How should I celebrate being fully vaccinated while on bedrest?
I’m 30 weeks and am so so excited to be fully vaccinated at the beginning of April. I wanted to do a weekend trip nearby to celebrate but now I’m on modified bedrest and honestly get super wiped taking care of my toddler. I want to do something fun that I wouldn’t have done without the vaccine but I don’t know what to do that will feel fun and also not wear me out. It has been a rough rough road for the past year and I have this little happiness in my life and want to celebrate it. Any suggestions?
This morning after I came out of the nursery after feeding the baby my preschooler had broken into my office and loaded my breast pump onto one of his toy flatbed trucks and was “driving it away to the job site”. It was 6:15 a.m.
anyway how’s your day going?
12 months in, I still have no dedicated office space in our house. I’ve been making do pretty well with the dining room table when kiddo is at daycare and we don’t have visiting family (husband uses the basement – he is loud and in meetings all day so we can’t share the same space). But now we’re starting to have pretty frequent visits from (fully vaccinated) family members, and working in the dining room is untenable with our open floor plan for our kitchen/dining/living area. We only have three bedrooms, all of which are in use and none of which really have space for a proper desk. When family is here, I work in our master bedroom but I feel really weird about being on video calls there and I also feel like having my office be not only in my house but in my *bedroom* is blurring the lines between home and work even more than they have been, and making it hard to focus during the workday and hard to sleep at night. Anyone have any brilliant ideas for how to make this WFH thing more workable long-term, short of selling our house and buying one with a less open floorplan? So sad that this pandemic has made me hate my beautiful house that I used to adore. :(
PSA: target circle has a coupon for 25% off any toy. On that note, any favorite toy ideas for a 1.5 year old? We already have a play kitchen, which has been a huge hit.
Transitioning my almost 4 year old from her crib/toddler bed. Should I get a twin or just go with a full? We have the room for a full bed comfortably but twin would allow for more play space? Not sure if I need to upgrade the twin again.
I am looking for daycare for a 9month old in NoVA; specifically in the Chantilly/Centreville area. Any recommendations or places to stay away from? We are relocating from out of state and getting a sense of a place is difficult with virtual tours being the only option to see these places (though I appreciate the caution). I’ve looked at the state ratings and based on that, we are considering La Petite, Beantree, the Goddard School, Minnieland, and Willowbrook. We will be relocating again in the next two years so I am really only assessing the infant/toddler rooms and the two year old rooms as we will be out of the area before preschool age.
someone the other day commented about using an old phone to play audio books for their kid. this might be a dumb question – but do you have to pay for phone service to do that or can you connect to wifi and apps without paying to keep the phone in service?
Any book recommendations on raising boys? My son is 10yo and I am raising him as a single mother. I was raised in a house full of girls, and my ex is not a solid reference point, so I’m looking for guidance. Thanks!
Any apartment dwellers have recommendations for a small water table for a balcony? Or other ideas for playing on the balcony? I’d like to get my 2-year-old outside more once the weather warms up, and am trying to figure out ways we can use our balcony. Thanks!
