A baby drinking from a Nursh Reusable Silicone Pouch Baby Bottles

I haven’t been in the market for bottles since having my son almost three and a half years ago, and since then, these bottles have hit the market.

These replicate the bottles with the disposable insert but are more environmentally friendly with a reusable silicone insert. As your baby drinks, the silicone insert collapses to avoid air from getting into formula or milk.

I really like this idea and design, and they seem to get good reviews — they look like a good alternative to the ubiquitous Dr. Brown’s. A three-pack is on sale for $19.99 at Walmart. Nursh Reusable Silicone Pouch Baby Bottles

Advice needed – my husband has serious depression and anxiety. He is working with a therapist and a psychiatrist, but it has been really bad since the COVID pandemic began and even worse in last week with ongoing police brutality and response. He has no energy or bandwidth to do any caregiving of our child or home. I don’t know how to handle this – I am unhappy with the environment in our home and worry about its impact on our child but don’t feel like I, or he, have any ability to change the situation other then hoping with time his medication and therapy work will help him.

My 13-year-old is so bored that she has taken it upon herself to KonMari her room. Now if I could just figure out how to convince her that she does not need to include me in the “sparks joy” decision for every. single. item.

I know some other posters have made the decision to send their children to daycare/preschool/camps when they open. I’m curious if any of those programs are requiring masks on the kids, and if so, what are your feelings about that requirement? We just got an email from our sons’ preschool/aftercare/camp program that says all students over the age of 3 will be “encouraged” to wear masks once it reopens on June 30. This program has limited outdoor space, so most of the programming will be inside the building. For some reason I can’t pinpoint, the idea of asking either my 3 year old or 6 year old to wear a mask most of the day really bothers me, and I feel like it would undo many of the socialization benefits that are the main reason we are considering sending them once it reopens. Thoughts?

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and noticed a chip in one of my front teeth this morning (the chip hasn’t fallen out yet but it is cracked all the way around and it’s just a matter of time). No idea how this happened as I don’t really bite into hard/crunchy things with my front teeth (applies, crunchy bread, etc) due to dental work on adjoining teeth.

I have an appointment with a new dentist for a consult on Thursday (new b/c we moved in the past 6 months and I hadn’t found a new one yet). I’m nervous b/c of the pregnancy and b/c of Covid. Any words of wisdom? Guessing I’ll need a filling at least, and possibly a cap/crown.

Our preschooler is home for the summer and was the rare kid that actually loved zoom pre-k. We’re looking for a 30 minute class in the AM at 9 or 9:30 EST. We’re trying outschool, and its fine, but I wonder if there are other better options. Spanish immersion would be great, because that is what she was doing, but anything that is engaging, upbeat, and manageable would be great.

Does anyone use a nanny payroll service that is not HomePay? I’ve come across a few like Poppins Payroll but they don’t operate in my state (PA).

Many thanks to whomever recommended drawstring linen shorts instead of my usual Lands’ End Chino shorts! I am loving the pair I got from A*azon Essentials today, especially because it’s going to be in the upper 80s here for the first time this year.

If you have a favorite pair, please let me know what it is! I’m WFH for the rest of the summer and with all of the after-work playing outside I’m planning to do, I’m determined to overhaul my short selection.

Looking for first shoe recommendations for a just-walking toddler (14 months ish). We keep him barefoot as much as possible at home but think he needs something on his feet to walk around the grass at the park, etc. Generally I want to buy shoes in person, but online might be useful right now (if you strongly feel in person is the right answer, though, I’m open to hearing that). In San Francisco, if you have a local(ish) in person recommendation.

what would you do? we live far from our families (at minimum a 21+ hour drive each way) and have two toddlers so us flying to them seems like a bad idea as does driving for anyone since it is so far, which leaves flying. my mom passed away at the end of 2019 and my dad is 70, but otherwise healthy, but is a doctor and sees patients 3x per week, though now everyone is wearing a mask and he takes social distancing very seriously. In-laws live in a hot spot, NJ, outside of NYC. FIL is also a doctor and is now seeing patients 5 days a week. Neither are seeing covid patients. My in-laws have been kind of cavalier about covid and social distancing. MIL goes to the supermarket multiple times a week, had friends over for dinner well before it was permitted in their state, she had her hair dresser come to the house, own a second home and have gone back and forth, and my twenty something BIL who has temporarily moved home has been seeing his girlfriend who lives in long island. my thought is to ask everyone to quarantine for a week before coming, since most cases show up in 2-5 days, to obviously wear a mask on the plane and then to wear a mask indoors while visiting us and adults will stay 6+ feet apart. we live in an apartment building and they would probably stay in another apartment in the building. the problem is my MIL keeps talking about how she wants to come visit us and eat in a restaurant, get a manicure, etc. even though those things are allowed where we live, we aren’t doing any of them. i generally trust my in-laws to watch my kids and they are very good grandparents, but are also definitely the type who think that what the parents don’t know won’t hurt them, so i honestly don’t know if i trust them to quarantine before coming and to not galavant around town while visiting, but i also don’t see how i can let my dad come and not let them come?

I would like to get peoples opinions/information on this. I’m not trying to spark an intense debate, I guess I just need educated on this issue. I’m
a white lady in the DC suburbs (Maryland). I’ve been reading that one way white people perpetuate racism is by where they lives/what schools their kids go to/what vacations they take. Like obviously I know that. We currently live in a VERY diverse neighborhood. DDs will be elementary school is only 5% white. Even though our county has a great school district compared to the rest of the country there’s obviously a difference in the schools based on where you live in the county. Historically and currently the more white areas have better schools (obviously this is an issue across the US). Our current school path is ok but not great and we’d like to move up the property ladder in 7-8 years, presumably to a more valuable property and “better” school district. But what is my obligation as a white person to not support this de facto segregation? Do I send MY kids to worse schools and give them less academic opportunities in the fight against racism? I would say the value of being exposed to a diverse student population and group of friends trumps the small academic gains made at another middle/high school. But being realistic I know that what school you go to matters. And the people my kids may meet and eventually use as connections matter. I know this all sounds awful of me but I’m genuinely confused in what’s the right answer. FWIW I am supporting boundary analysis in our school districts, vote for minority candidates, do my due diligence of elected officials etc…
