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 feel like I ask this constantly but have yet to find a good resource. Anyone have a gentle parenting book that’s worked well for three to four year olds? I’m not a fan of time outs or counting but find myself flailing and using those things (and more) with little effectiveness. My almost-four-year-old will not listen! Help!
My 2 year old got invited to her first birthday party. Invite says no gifts and if compelled, donate to [X] charity.
I really feel odd about showing up empty handed, especially since this is hosted at a fancy kid party place. Do you think it’s OK to at least get the kid a fun card (like the kind that are animated/play music)? My kid loves those and it’s not a “thing.” But it is something to give/open.
I’m 14 months pp, LO self-weaned at 13 months. I stopped pumping about 3 weeks ago, and simultaneously went back on the pill (had been on the mini-pill). I have not had a pp period, and was expecting AF this week. Still no sign of her. Have been taking pregnancy tests, and they’re negative so far – so my question for the hive is whether anyone else experienced this. Planning to call my OB/GYN if I don’t see her by tomorrow to see what I should do about starting the next pack of BC (if I am pregnant, which is not outside the realm, I’d imagine it would not be good to be taking the pill…). Thanks in advance everyone!
Does formula really go bad after one month?
I had a hard time with BF’ing at first and bought a canister of organic formula as “insurance.” We opened it and made two bottles when my baby was 2 weeks old. The canister has sat (in a cool dry place) unopened since then. Now the baby is 15 weeks old and I am going back to work soon. I’d like to continue to have formula on hand just in case. Do I have to throw out the formula we have and buy a sealed container? It just feels so wasteful if it’s not actually going to spoil so quickly.
Why am I pumping so little recently? I do 2 pumping sessions at work and another overnight so I have enough for day care. My output has really tanked in the past couple weeks. Down to basically one ounce per side per session—not nearly enough for the daily bottles. Have had to deplete the freezer stash.
FWIW, my son is 11+ months and is eating solids well but still takes 12-15 oz breastmilk at daycare (if I have it!). Do I scale that back? Also I don’t think it’s a pump problem…I have different pumps at home & work.
I was planning to cut out pumping entirely in a couple weeks after he turns 1 and we get the green light from the pediatrician to do cow’s milk. But it seems like my milk is just shutting off on me; it’s really stressful, and none of my usual resources seem to have an explanation that makes sense.
I actually joked with my sister about this earlier today but…my new favorite non-work pants are the Lands End starfish skinny pants. I guess I just bypassed mom jeans entirely.
Two questions. Has anyone done nap training with an 8 week old? I’m seeing the pediatrician tomorrow, but it feels to me like I will need to do some modified version of nap training to get my daughter to sleep during the day. She hates swings, and will only sleep in the car seat for more than 30 minutes during the day.
Also, has anyone used the new contented little baby book? I’ve been relying on it since last week to get my daughter on a schedule, out of our bed, and to stop feeding every hour and a half at night. Some of her techniques are harsh though, and while I am not following them all, I wondered if anyone has any good or bad thoughts on the book. So far, it has really really helped with nighttime sleep.
