If the weather this week is any indication, it’s going to be a c-o-l-d winter, ladies. While cashmere can seem tough to care for around kiddos, there’s no reason you can’t keep a luxe cashmere cardigan at the office or for after the kids go to bed (or, hey, just machine wash in Woolite if sticky little hands do get ahold of it). I like the look of this big, cozy cardigan from Lord & Taylor, available in four colors, sizes XS-XL (also in plus sizes and, allegedly, petites, although I can’t seem to grab a direct link…). L&T was mentioned by readers as being some of the best cashmere in previous discussions over at Corporette, and they’re having a big cashmere sale now. The cardigan was $268, but is now marked to $160. Lord & Taylor Cashmere CardiganSales of note for 9.10.24

It may be too late in the day, so I may repost again tomorrow, but has anyone used a sleep coach with their child? We have created a monster – totally inadvertently. We started by bringing our daughter in with us in the morning at around 10 months old to get an extra hour or so of sleep when she’d wake at 5. Over the last 9 months, this has slipped gradually earlier and earlier, until now it’s midnight some nights when she gets in bed with us. For a long time, this worked really well actually. But now that she’s older, some nights are just awful – she’ll sit in bed between us and just play, or demand water, attention, etc. I’m at the end of my rope. Has anyone hired anyone like this with any luck? Am I dreaming to think that there’s someone out there that can help me fix the mess I made? (Am I getting a bit overly dramatic due to lack of sleep???)
What do you feed a 9-month old?
DD loves to eat, but has recently taken to rejecting baby food and only wanting what is on my (or her papa’s or her grandparents’) plate. So, no to soft bananas, anything labeled “Gerber” (even stage 3 chunky foods), rice cereal, etc. Yes to yogurt, fish, bits of bread, soft veggies. I would just feed her what we eat, but my husband and I eat sort of “paleo”, meaning lots of meat and salad or roasted veggies that aren’t really soft enough for her.
She’s got her bottom front teeth and is cutting her uppers. She does great at mashing food with her jaw. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve been back at work for four weeks, following an 8 week maternity leave. Yesterday my bosses informed me they were dissolving the partnership and, as of the end of the year, I’ll be out of a job. One partner is going solo, but the other partner is keeping the three junior associates, so it’s only me getting the boot. Aside from being furious that they’d denied my requests for an extension of my leave because they couldn’t spare me (clearly that wasn’t true) and that I hired a nanny because my hours didn’t allow for daycare pickup, I’m terrified at the thought of having to find a new job while working full time and horribly sleep deprived with a three month-old who refuses to fall asleep before 11:30 pm. I am also pumping and don’t know how to bring that up to any prospective employer (despite knowing my rights), but don’t feel ready to wean my baby yet. I’ve been debating setting up a solo practice, but the thought of losing a guaranteed salary when I have childcare costs is holding me back.
I don’t know what kind of advice I’m asking for, but I’m so angry and depressed and terrified right now that it’s all I can do to get through the day.
So sorry you’re getting this kind of needless flack. One less confrontational way may be to say that *your* pediatrician specifically said that *you* should continue nursing. I wouldn’t be surprised if, upon hearing about this situation, your ped would be happy to provide some kind of support, orally or written (that it is beneficial and recommended across the board; that it makes no difference in sleeping/eating/motor skills/etc.). Another point to make is that given the tumultuous events you and DD are experiencing, maintaining this key bonding activity is all the more important to you and her.
I’m less sensitive and more blunt, so I’d probably go direct. This tactic depends on your relationship with your folks, generally and now that you’re living with them. But I would address it directly–next time they give you grief about nursing, I’d bust out something like, “I know you think I should stop nursing because you keep bringing it up. I do not agree, and I will continue nursing as long as DD and I want to and her pediatrician approves. Please stop badgering me about this topic; this is the last I want to discuss it.”
This seems like such a bizarre and irrational critique to make. I’ve never heard of a similar complaint, and I can’t believe it bothers your parents so much. It’s not like they’re the ones pumping, prepping bottles, and so forth. (And if you were to switch to formula, there would *still* be bottles to prep!) I could maaaaybe tolerate a complaint if there was some parenting choice that caused more work for them (like washing out cloth diapers), but I just don’t see it here. Also: TOTALLY a parenting call that involves no one else. Ugh. This would really chap my a-s-s if I were in your shoes.
I am really struggling lately with the fact that I have no time to myself. Mornings are a rush to get out of the house, I work all day, and evenings are a rush to do dinner, bath time and bed time. On weekdays, my husband and I usually relax/unwind in front of the TV (we love our shows!) for about an hour before going to bed. On weekends, it’s errands, grocery store, prepping meals, etc., and family time. I essentially get no “me” time, and am really disheartened by suggestions/blogs that moms need to wake up at 5am to exercise or do whatever before everyone else gets up in order to get alone time. (I really need my sleep). I am talking about real, regular alone time to engage in a hobby (like an outdoor activity, not just exercise) or do things other than run family errands alone. My husband has more work events than I do and plays golf semi-regularly, which leaves even less family time and makes it more difficult for me to take alone time.
How you get alone time, when/how often, and what do you do? How do you balance alone time and family time when you don’t get enough of either?
[This was meant to be a reply to (formerly) preg 3L.]
I would just politely and directly tell them that’s its your decision, none of their business, and the constant discussion of the topic/criticism is wearing on you, then ask them not to bring it up again. Hopefully they’re not overly sensitive types who will be offended.
As most of you know, I live with my parents right now. They think I should stop nursing. DD is 9.5 months. I don’t want to stop nursing and I don’t see any reason to — my milk production is fine, pumping at work is no problem, and DD climbs all over me wanting to nurse on the weekends and in the mornings. My parents ask me almost daily when I’m going to stop, they call me a “mad scientist” when I prep DD’s bottles for the next day (jokingly, of course, and would say I’m being too sensitive if I mentioned it bothers me), and they occasionally make comments about how the baby would be doing ____ better (e.g., sleeping, napping, crawling, talking) if she were NOT still nursing. Any advice on how to respond? I’ve tried calmly saying I have no plans to stop nursing, I’ve tried saying the WHO recommends nursing until 2 years or until the baby self-weans, I’ve tried saying the pediatrician recommends nursing for the first year, I’ve tried joking that I keep it up because I enjoy eating so much… I guess I’m mostly looking for encouragement/commiseration!
