Has anyone tried the top featured in the post? It looks pretty great, but I have no experience because I’m pregnant with my first.

How old is too old for rompers on a boy? I’m a little obsessed with them but don’t want to dress him like a baby too long (actually I want to dress him like a baby FOREVER, but well…)

I’d love to hear what you smart ladies think about this new lawsuit against the au-pair system. http://www.litigationdaily.com/id=1202753960934/Au-Pairs-in-the-Crosshairs-Boies-Schiller-Suit-May-Upend-the-Program?mcode=1202619274852&curindex=2

Has anyone brought a baby to an airshow before? I mentioned to my dad that we were planning to bring the 10 month old to one in a couple of weeks, and he was concerned about her hearing. I had not even thought of this. I’ve been to air shows in the past, but it’s been a while, and I don’t really remember the noise being that big of a problem, but maybe I don’t really remember. I looked online and they do make baby earmuffs, but it seems silly to spend $30 on something that would get so little use (and baby would hate and immediately remove, most likely). I could try to shove some foam plugs into her ears during the particularly loud parts, but I’m not sure that would work, either. Or I can just try to cover her ears with my hands. Any thoughts?

Hi Ladies, can you tell me about the difficulty/ease of switching ob-gyns (specifically from Capital Women’s Care, because I don’t want to deliver at Sibley, to GW)? I’m coming to the end of my first trimester. Any recommendations for GW obs-gyns? Thanks!

That’s too bad that you can’t try them out first–there is a giant range of comfort on gliders. Some people love the kind where you sink down 5 inches when you sit, for example, and the comment about the correct seat length and back height is key. I bought a glider from Best Chairs for my first and second, and it was a lifesaver–I slept more nights in it than I could have ever anticipated, and it was our most important piece of furniture for about 2 years. It was well-made and is still going, ten years on (but in a friend’s house now). For my third, I’ve shopped them out and think we’re going for a Little Castle, which are expensive, but when you order, you can request that it come as a convertible so that it can become a regular chair when you don’t need the glider function anymore. They look a little less like nursery furniture, too, which is appealing to me.
I see tons of used Dutelier gliders free or for not too much around here (those are the ones that have the wood exposed, with pads for the back and seat).). Good luck!

Has anyone used an au pair for their young school age children? My son will be starting ‘full time’ school next fall, and I feel totally blindsided by how we’re going to arrange for after school care and the cost! His school doesn’t offer after care until 1st grade, so we’ve got two more years of dealing with the hours between 2:30-5:30 on our own. No local family that could help, and no sitters seem to only want 15 hours/wk….or they want like $20/hr, which is not feasible for us.
I work in big consulting, husband in big finance, and we both have sporadic travel (me more than him obv.) I feel like a au pair would also help solve the ‘who’s parents can come up or who can leave early’ scramble during work travel.
Is there another solution I’m not thinking of? Both sets of moms and most of our family/neighbors are teachers, stay at home moms, or work part time, so they’re not much good for advice with two parents working 50/60 hour weeks.

I have procrastinated a bit in setting up a nursery for my first and I am now scrambling to get things in place! Anyone have any advice on gliders? I love the look of some of the Land of Nod gliders but I can’t decide if they are worth the money and I don’t live near any of those stores so I can’t try them out before ordering. TIA!
