This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
I nursed/pumped for both of my kids and wore nursing camis like these nearly every day.
Layer these camis under your favorite tops to make them nursing friendly. (I even wore them alone as pajama tops.) These camis feature a scoop neck, light-support shelf bra, and adjustable spaghetti straps with detachable clips for nursing/pumping.
Old Navy’s nursing cami is $13.79 on sale (marked down from $22.99) and comes in sizes XS-XXL. It’s available in four neutral colors.
Psst: Looking for info about nursing clothes for working moms or tips for pumping at the office? We’ve got them both…

What would be your dream work schedule if money/career advancement weren’t concerns and what age of kid(s) do you have? I have a toddler and I think working 25-30 hours a week would be perfect, something like a 4 day work week of 7 hour shifts. Plenty of time to get real focused work and feel like an adult, but also not be drowning in household management or feeling like an absent mother.
(Please stay in fantasy land with me, not our downer real life where this is only possible for the top 1%)
Do you compost? If so, any recommended counter-top tools? We are just starting and using any old paper bag I find and putting it in the bin nightly. Our goal is just to reduce food waste into the garbage and our city collects compost bins with our trash weekly (we aren’t trying to backyard compost at this point).
Twin Cities folks, how are you all doing? I have close family there and nearby and am beside myself. I am incensed that the media is not covering what is happening. I am planning to stop by the bookstore at lunchtime to pick up some Bonhoeffer, but I think it will only make me angrier.
What would you do: school nurse calls at 9:45 am saying your elementary school kid is coughing and has a temp of 99.7. She says she can send him back to class, but he’s complaining he doesn’t feel good so it’s up to us whether to take him home. My work no longer allows situational telework, so I’d have to take PTO to hang out with him.
Building off yesterday’s convo, what’s your favorite way to add veggies to your plate at mealtimes? I feel like we often just don’t have the right stuff in the fridge so putting more vegetables on the table becomes a whole prep/cooking process. So I need inspiration!
Thinking of the discussion about that friend’s “the baby has a dirty diaper” comment at a shared dinner table and a recent chat on the main page about how unsolicited advice comes off as criticism, I think that’s the key to a lot of these little comments that maybe don’t sound like much to outsiders but feel annoying to the recipient. People on the outside who feel very free to give unsolicited advice sometimes hit a sore spot, ruin the first nice moment at the dinner table you’ve had since your baby was born, insert themselves when it’s something you’ve been conscientiously working on handling on your own, and more. It’s no wonder these small comments can feel upsetting, especially but not limited to infancy. In a time when many women struggle to feel confident and often feel like they don’t know what they’re doing, any little critique feels like a mosquito bite – nothing that’s going to kill you but something that bothers you. Just my two cents.
