My oldest is in her romper phase, so she’d want this one in all three patterns.
This relaxed romper has a soft, gauzy texture perfect for hot days ahead. Made from 100% cotton, this sleeveless romper has a button front, elastic waist, and pockets for summer’s treasures.

Our baby had a delayed reaction to peanuts – she got hives about 6 hours after exposure. We’re going to see an allergist soon, but does anyone have experience with this? I had read delayed reactions were very rare but I guess we got unlucky :(
Just wanted to share a “hooray” moment before the weekend! My nephew has been in the NICU for a few months and he is going home today! I never had a NICU experience with my kids, I have so much respect for parents who are going through it.
My young daughter is friends with another girl whose mom I find hard to socialize with. For reasons I don’t want to get into it’s very important for me that the girls grow into being good friends and hopefully a support system for each other in the future.
I walk away from every interaction with the mom feeling like she doesn’t like me and is judging me. I try very hard to keep the conversation light and ask questions about her job, interests and family. She doesn’t respond with much and it’s hard to keep our conversations going.
I just texted her to say that family that was visiting us was leaving and we were excited to be back on our normal schedule soon. Before I could send my second text about hoping to schedule something with the girls, she responded that I already told her I had family in town. That was the entirety of her text.
Does anyone have tips on how to keep this going when every interaction with the mom is excruciating? I need to find a the right perspective maybe to make this work. Her little girl is wonderful btw.
Speaking of kids wanting what they don’t have… we’ve been planning a big international trip for months. My 7 year old has been very excited for it. But now summer is here and she doesn’t want to leave her friends. Last night she sat us down and asked us to exclude her from all our future travel plans and leave her with her local grandparents whenever we travel because she’d rather spend time with her friends than go on vacations with us. This is obviously not happening and I know she’ll have a great time once we’re actually on the trip, but it made me think of the discussion yesterday about how kids always complain and want what they don’t have.
I would like some opinions because I’m not sure how much to be worried about this or even if it’s common such that switching daycares wouldn’t eliminate the issue.
My daycare recently lost two teachers. Over the last week, there have been multiple days when the daycare isn’t in ratios when I do drop off. I know there are some teachers who start like 15 minutes after my normal drop off time, and when I was running about 20 minutes late one day, they were there when I dropped off. But even if you assume they are always on time, that means at least 15 to 20 minutes when they are out of ratio after I drop off (and I assume it’s some period of time before I drop off too). I do know they are in the process of hiring, so hopefully this gets resolved soon.
Would you look to switch daycares over this?
Other first-time (or one and done) parents, what’s something you’ve learned so far that’s either different from what you expected or what people told you? I’ve learned two main things: that it’s ok to express certain hopes and desires for your kid (eg, no screen time, lots of outdoor time) and it doesn’t make you a clueless first-time mom to have plans, even if they don’t work out – it’s on you and your family to figure out what works for you over time. The second is not to dread the things people tell you to dread. The 4-month sleep regression was a two-day blip for us, if that, while other major challenges popped up that I had never heard anyone talk about and I was glad I didn’t also dread them in advance.
I guess both of these have a common thread – trust yourself and tune out negative voices and opinions.
