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?
I need some breast milk storage help – I’m at the tail end of my first overnight trip away from my 8 month old and have filled all of the breast milk storage I brought with me (a lesson for next time). Does it seem nuts to empty a sealed plastic water bottle (without drinking directly from the bottle) to use for breast milk overflow and then just transfer the milk to a breast milk storage bag when I get home this evening? Any other suggestions if this seems like a bad idea?
I so dislike that Ivanka Trump usually doesn’t go above a size 10.
Does anyone have a good system for winter gear logistics? Hauling a winter jacket, snow pants, and boots to school every day is a pain, and I’m worried that we’ll leave it at school some Friday and have to go through the entire weekend without it. Do you just buy a second set and leave it at school all winter? Or haul it back and forth every week or every night?
And how do people navigate the “no winter coats in car seats” rule when you know you’ll need a full winter coat on arrival? We have to do daycare drop off and pickup in an outdoor parking lot, and it feels wrong to carry her out to the car with no coat, so she has been wearing a fleece jacket for the car ride and I carry her winter coat for playground time. The winter coat is pretty big so I know it’s not safe in the car seat. It’s just so much stuff…..
We are due with #2 this summer (yay!). Our carseat/ travel system for #1 was a hand-me-down and now, the carseat has expired and the stroller is a PITA. I’m trying to figure out what to get that won’ t be a massive expense and still be useful.
Also, i will have a 3 y/o and an infant. Any good double strollers or sit/stand strollers that work with the infant buckets? I may go that route vs a new travel system.
Help! My kiddo (13m) starts transitioning to his next daycare classroom next week, and he needs shoes. Currently, he doesn’t hardly ever wear socks, much less shoes. He is also on the verge of walking, but not there yet. I know the brands people here seems to like (Robeez, See Kai Run, Stride Rite) but I am at a loss for exactly what type of shoes to buy. Can someone please link me to a few suggestions? Also, does he wear socks with these things? For some reason, the whole shoe game really stresses me out (probably because it means my baby will look more toddler than baby… booo.) The only baby store I have in my town is a Caters, so something I can order online (and quickly) would be great. Thank you!!
Anyone have any organization tips for baby stuff? We are in the process of putting together the nursery (FTM) and I am overwhelmed by ALL THE STUFF (and we actually went fairly minimal on the baby gear due to my hatred of clutter). I am normally super organized and can’t figure out where to put all the stuff (like the bazillion pacifiers). Anyone have any suggestions, including specific organization products that worked well? Also open to tips on organizing baby clothes for the future and as he grows out of them – are storage tubs the best way to go?
Looking for some advice/commiseration. My almost 6 month old is a generally happy baby with no sign yet of stranger anxiety. She for the most part will happily be held with/play with anyone. With one exception- my mother in law. My LO will be happily playing with me or her dad and when my MIl arrives will burst into tears. This is literally the only time she cries with tears. I can tell my MIL is getting upset by it but trying not to show it- because what can you do, she is just a baby! In laws live 10 minutes away and see LO at least once a week. We are trying to increase visits to see if that helps. Any advice?
Where can I take my 6 month old for mommy and me classes in NoVa/DC? I looked up gymboree but they only offer classes on Friday afternoon during work hours for infant. Other suggestions?
