Nursing/Postpartum Tuesday: Lace Trim Soft Nursing Bra

This looks like a really comfortable nursing bra for those first few days or weeks when you’re mostly hanging in the house with your newborn. I really like that this is a racerback style, as I find that style keeps straps from slipping down my shoulders. I also like that this is a push-aside style with soft material. For those first crazy and recovering days, the simpler and softer things touching my body were, the better. The bra is $32 at ASOS and is available in sizes S/M, M/L, and L/XL.

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?
How do I transport my daughters blanket and pillow to daycare? Bag? Some kind of tie? Dumb question, but it’s kind of a thicker quilt comforter type. She’s 2 and it’s our first time doing daycare. They provide nap mats apparently.
Can I put in a request for not having pictures of women in l!ngerie displayed? It’s NSFW for some of us, and I work in a shared office space and don’t expect a picture like this to pop up when I load this page. Thanks!
Agreed with all the recommendations here. Also, if you’re not already using white noise machine, I recommend that for night time sleeping only while you get him used to sleeping more at night. It made a huge difference for my daughter and once she was sleeping longer stretches at night we started using it for daytime naps as well.
And this is super super normal, so don’t worry too much about him having his days and nights turned around. To some extent, it’s just a waiting game. I read somewhere that very young babies like yours actually prefer to wake more at night because all the commotion of daytime (noise, lights, people) makes them a little overwhelmed and they cope by sleeping. This is normal for 6-8 weeks. It will get better– I know it’s so very, very hard waking up so much at night at this age. Hugs!
Tried to search but can’t really search the comments – crowdsourcing pump recommendations!
Pregnant with #2 and wondering what everyone’s recommendation is for pumps nowadays. I had a pump-in-style for #1 which was fine, but perhaps there have been some advancements in the last 4 years. I’m not committed to any bottle brand/system either – recommendations welcome there too. (Did Medela last time, thinking about trying a glass bottle set this time.)
Anyone willing to disclose how long it took them to get pregnant? I feel like all I ever read and hear from friends is it took months to years.. Trying to frame my expectations so my period isn’t such a bummer every month.
Hope I’m not too late for this – my doctor recommended maternity spanx to me based on an increase in pelvic pressure lately (not first kid, this is common, not a health issue, thanks!). Does anyone have these or had success with anything other than the belt? I don’t want to be readjusting all day. thanks.
My 4.5 year old loves chapter books with some pictures. She’s obsessed with Betsy Tacy and has also enjoyed Ivy and Bean, Princess in Black, and recently Junie B Jones. Betsy Tacy and Princess in Black were great, but after reading Ivy and Bean with her I found myself having to explain what “dork” meant and talk about why she’d play tricks on her sister. I love that she’s loving reading these but any recs for other early chapter books (she prefers aimed at girls stuff) where the main characters are well behaved? I feel like such a prude even writing this. Or maybe I just embrace the real world?
Separate question – she’s not showing interest in learning to read herself. Should I be pushing easier (non-chapter) books as more helpful in that regard? I think she likes the more involved multi-day storylines with chapter books and that’s why those have been winning recently, if that makes sense.
This is a total first world problem and I know I’m lucky to have a child who sleeps so well overall. But I need a lot of sleep myself and am really struggling now that my almost 2 year old is down to only sleeping ~11 hours at night instead of 12-13. I need a minimum of 9 hours of sleep, which really means closer to 10 hours of rest, counting my own bedtime routine and the time it takes to fall asleep. And I need to get up before my kid to get ready myself so when she’s awake I can focus on getting her ready. I’m going to bed within an hour of her bedtime (which means that after doing necessary post-bedtime chores, I have no time to myself) and I still don’t feel like I’m getting enough rest. I never thought I would be way more sleep-deprived with a toddler than I was with an infant, but I guess in some ways it makes sense – they get older and sleep less and parents have less time to sleep too. Does anyone have advice? Or just assurances that this will get better when she’s older (maybe I can knock out the chores pre-bedtime once she can play more independently?) But also she’ll sleep even less as she gets older, right? Ugh.
I’m finding it unwieldy to do daycare drop-off with my sort-of walker (she wants to walk but isn’t very stable) and my giant work tote bag. I’m thinking about getting a smaller cross body bag so I could be hands-free and able to bend over without the bag swinging around wildly. Any recs? It needs to be big enough to hold a 3 oz tube of sunscreen, since I like to reapply sunscreen to her hands after washing her hands at school. I also need to have my access card ready to swipe in and out and frequently wear work clothes without pockets so a separate pocket for that would be a big plus (I hate having to dig around in a big bag looking for it).
Would you take a double-stroller to Disney World in November for a 6.5 and 4 year old? They haven’t used strollers in ages (even when they were babies, we only used them occasionally). But I’m thinking that it would be much easier to use to hold stuff (particularly since the weather might be unpredictable), and if we use a single, the kids would probably fight over it (also, our single is almost as big). Plus, we expect to be out and about at pretty much all hours. But I just keep thinking that they seem old for a stroller.
stuck in limbo on the mainpage, reposting here
A member of my team (I am this person’s direct supervisor) has been out for a few days taking care of a spouse who needed emergent, major surgery.
I have already given blanket okay to take whatever time is necessary, leave with no notice and just text me when they can to let me know they’re gone for the day/an hour/whatever, and offered linkages to our employee benefits people for anything else that’s needed.
Thinking of sending a Panera Gift card? I don’t know that flowers would be needed or appreciated and I can send the Panera card via email. FWIW, I don’t really know the spouse and this is a staffer who is my parents’ age.
Guys, I’m in a total funk these days and I am trying to snap out of it and be productive at work. Does anyone have a pandora or spotify playlist that is fun and will help me get motivated?! Other tips to un-funk myself are welcome :)
Do you ever feel like momming must be easier for everyone else than it is for you? I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old and just feel like I’m drowning every day. It feels like a miracle I survive. And I’d say it’s because I have a demanding job, which is true, but honestly I find it harder to make it through the weekend! I dream of a weekend day without my family, which makes me feel horribly guilty. I love them but the majority of the time I find it a real struggle to get through the day with my patience and sanity intact. Sometimes even making it through the morning before my nanny arrives is a challenge and I find myself counting down the minutes. But clearly other people have it easier, lots of people stay home every day and even plan on having more kids. what am I doing wrong? did I just wait to have kids until I was too old and set in my ways? How do I improve my attitude?
It seems like I’m in perma mod around here and it’s so frustrating. My posts go up almost instantly on the other page. What gives.
If this sees the light of day faster than my other post, how do I travel with a 15 month old in a convertible car seat? Is it just a giant PITA and we should just stay at the resort? We won’t have a car (flying to FL). TIA.
Ugh LO is about 2 months old and I’m already dreading going back to work (which is at least a month away!). As a Fed, i was able to take more time with #1, but I burned up so much leave that I have less paid time now. And I feel like my baby and I are just bonding more now with smiling, etc. And I know I won’t get this time back. :( I know I wouldn’t be happy staying at home permanently, but this is sooo hard.
