This is such a cute top! I have a very small bust, so I probably would have had to safety pin it closed while pregnant, but I love the pattern and the cut!
GCA says
As a fellow small-busted person, I automatically sew a metal press stud / snap fastener into my wrap tops so the top part doesn’t droop open!
Cb says
Does anyone have an IKEA sniglar crib? Can it be turned into a toddler bed? Pinterest suggests the side will come off but can’t see structurally how that would work. My plan is to keep baby CB contained for as long as possible and we have a daybed to use as a big kid bed but it feels awfully high for a little one.
Anonymous says
We don’t have that crib, but I think the fact that the base attaches to all 4 corners keeps it stable enough without the 4th side.
AwayEmily says
We have two! the sniglar comes with a bed rail that you attach when you take the fourth side off. If you download the instructions from the ikea website you can see the details of how to do it.
Cb says
So strange, the US IKEA website has instructions for it and says that the side comes off but the UK site doesn’t have it. Wonder if it is some sort of UK or EU safety regulation. The bed was a hand-me-down so we don’t have the original instructions.
rosie says
Same here. Ours (bought new in US) came with a bed rail.
#2 accidents says
Has anyone dealt with a school aged child who has frequent #2 accidents? My almost 7 year old was never a potty training champ but it’s happening daily. For a while I thought it was mostly poor wiping technique, but it’s become obvious its beyond that. The doctor said it might actually be due to chronic constipation, which didn’t seem like it fit but I thought could be possible, so we tried miralax. He’s been on it for a week and I think it made it worse. I stopped the miralax last night and have a call in to the doctor but in the meantime, I’m freaking out. Tell me we will get beyond this?
Anonymous says
Of course you will! It’s gross and miserable but it will not last forever. In the meantime, talk about wiping, lots of fiber, tons of water, and maybe pull-ups if it’s that big of a concern.
Anonanonanon says
You will get beyond this, of course, but in the meantime I would definitely press the doctor for a quick response/recommendation. It is kind of a big deal to have a 7-year old going #2 in their pants at school etc. Kids can be mean, and elementary school cohorts have long memories. I think sometimes doctors forget the social implications of issues like this, so it may be helpful to put it in the context of “he is going #2 in his pants in the 1st-grade classroom, this is something we have to address and fix as soon as possible. Until the root cause is identified and sorted, what do you recommend?”
Anon says
+1 to the social aspects. I still remember how awful it felt being called out by my teacher for audibly (and accidentally, fwiw) farting in class in first or second grade. I can’t imagine how embarrassing it would have been to have an accident.
rosie says
Is there some anxiety about using the toilet? Flushing the toilet? Is he going to the bathroom whenever he feels the urge to do so?
Anon says
Yes, and it is an extremely difficult thing to go through. We struggled for years, seeing specialists (GI, behavioral psychologist) with only moderate improvement. What was a game changer for us is that my son was diagnosed with ADHD and went on medication. It was like someone flipped a switch, and we never had an issue again (it’s been 2 years now). Our pediatrician was surprised by the complete turnaround, so I don’t think it works for everyone, but it’s another thing to evaluate if you think that’s a possible issue. My son was a late diagnosis (age 9) because he also has gifted traits that masked the ADHD, and I hate thinking that we could have sought assistance sooner.
Dolly says
Sorry you are going through this! My niece had this issue, but it was related to her parents’ very difficult divorce: it flared up when they separated (kindergarten), came back when the divorce was finalized (first grade), and then recurred again when her dad got remarried (second grade). May not be your issue, but just in case — you might want to consider whether there is anything going on emotionally that could be triggering this.
anon says
I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. We’re having this issue with my daughter, but she’s younger. But I completely hear you on the frustration, the grossness of the cleanups, and the stress of not knowing when it might happen. Miralax definitely made things worse for us for awhile — you may need to play around with the dose a bit. I don’t have many concrete suggestions because I’m right there with you.
# 2 accidents says
Thanks everyone. My son is weirdly unconcerned about it (or so he claims, although he doesn’t like that it bothers us), but the doctor is the one who brought up the potential for bullying, etc., so she’s definitely on board with that. They want him to come in for an exam as step 1. The funny thing is I remember this being an issue for me in about 2nd grade, although I think it may have been more minor – like constant skid marks. I guess I eventually grew out of it? (I mean, I’m here to tell you that I did, thank god, but I don’t remember it stopping as a result of any specific intervention). I think I just always waited a little too long to go when I needed to. So I had been assuming this was fairly normal.
Easter says
For those that celebrate Easter, at what age did you start doing Easter baskets? My LO is not even a year old so I’m wondering if it’s even necessary. For those that do, what sort of things do you put in them?
Anonymous says
We don’t really. I hide eggs and chocolate bunnies that they collect in a basket, and I usually do a stuffed bunny or chick or something. I didn’t start until I think 2.5?
Anonymous says
At this age there is a big difference between necessary and fun :) My daughter is 1.5 and we haven’t done a basket but she got one from daycare/grandparents/wherever last year and this year already too. Some ideas from those….
– Books, either regular or Easter-themed. We got a Pete the Cat one and a farm lift-the-flap one.
– Depending on age, regular smallish toys like an O-ball or a car/truck.
– If you want themed toys, there is an Infantino carrot teether that is cute, and the Tomy eggs are popular.
– Gma gave my daughter bunny ears on a headband which she likes to make us wear.
– Small stuffed toys like a bunny or lamb.
Anonymous says
From her first Easter (about 6 months). Age appropriate treats and small toys, and often a book. When she was six months, the Easter bunny brought her some oatmeal, Sophie the Giraffe, a book, and a cute little bowl for feeding with some baby animals on it.
At 1, I’d do some yogurt and/or fruit and veggie melt type treats (Gerber, etc.), some bubbles, and a board book or two.
Anonymous says
We skipped a basket the first Easter (3 months) and had the Easter Bunny hide plastic eggs the second Easter (15 months). The egg hunt was a huge hit and was repeated many times over the next few days.
HSAL says
I think Easter baskets are a good way to give them stuff they’re going to need soon anyway, especially summer stuff. For my older daughter’s first, she got a pair of Robeez with bunnies on them, sunglasses, a hair, an Easter book, a new sippy and some bubbles. For my twins’ first this year, they’re getting books, sippies, bowls, sunglasses, and hats for summer. I definitely don’t think you have to do it though.
Lana Del Raygun says
My LO is 5 months so we’re not making her one, but my family never did prepared Easter baskets anyway. We had an egg hunt instead, with candy in the eggs, not toys. My husband’s family does an Easter basket hunt, which I personally think is strange lol. We’re probably just going to do candy in either eggs or a basket, because the non-candy stuff we’ve gotten from his parents has usually been useless stuff like silly string and 2″x3″ notebooks.
Redux says
Same! We only ever did egg hunts, plus usually a new outfit (down to the ruffled socks). My husband’s family always got easter baskets which I realize now is quite common but when I first learned of it I thought it was strange.
I started easter baskets with my kids when the oldest was 4 because it is often still snow-covered and winter where we are for easter and the egg hunt can be a bit sad for that reason. The baskets have mostly non-edibles in them– socks, books, crayons, chalk, bubbles, etc., plus a chocolate bunny.
Anon says
We did for her first Easter (8 months) and put in a couple of board books (touch and feel bunny, llama llama easter egg), an oball car and stuffed animal bunny rabbit. She totally didn’t get it, but loved her new toys, and we had fun. For her second easter (20 months) we are doing some playdoh (for the first time ever), some stainless steel toddler cups (so she stops trying to steal the stainless wineglasses and whiskey glasses), a little stuffed animal duck, and I think I got her another book or two (something about Elmo and Easter, since we LOVE sesame street). I generally try to avoid the candy because DH and I are trying to cut down on sugar and we’re the ones who end up eating it.
Pogo says
We did it when LO was 8mo, but only because his cousins were getting baskets/eggs and we wanted it to be equitable/Easter Bunny gifted everyone. We put Mum-mums (baby rice husks) in there because that was his favorite treat at the time.
Spirograph says
My oldest has a spring birthday, so he got a basket his first Easter. Once we were doing a basket for one kid, doing one for subsequent babies (not with candy, though, obviously! I think we put squeeze pouches in, instead) wasn’t a big step. We do not do very elaborate baskets, a couple eggs with candies (we do an egg hunt in our yard, so only one or two show up in the basket in the morning), a chocolate bunny, and a small toy like play dough, a ball, stuffed animal, etc. The big highlight of the Easter baskets is that we let the kids decorate their baskets. My daughter especially gets a huge kick out of going to the craft store and picking out ribbons, pipe cleaners, etc.
Also, pro tip: Use fabric or some wide, gauzy ribbon instead of easter grass or those awful crinkly paper strips. Much less mess!
Anon says
We started at a little over 2 years old. We decorated hard-boiled eggs and left them out the night before for the Easter Bunny to hide. Basket included Lindt chocolate hazelnut carrots, play dough eggs, and The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
This year (a little over 3 years old), same with the decorating eggs, basket will include Lindt chocolate hazelnut carrots and a chocolate bunny, small gardening equipment, and The Tale of Benjamin Bunny.
Mom to be weekend says
Hello! I am looking for suggestions for a spa resort type place for moms-to-be. My sister and I are both pregnant and want to have a girls weekend. Preferably continental US, even better if it is convenient to a beach. We plan to go in June.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions! :)
Anon says
If looking in the DC-area, not convenient to a beach, but I personally thought the Homestead was lovely (and the spa has a private spa outdoor pool which is just aaahhhh). I have also heard fantastic things about Salamander resort but have never personally been. If flying is something you’re up for pregnant (I was not), I would probably consider something in Palm Springs or Phoenix-area (Scottsdale probably). The only other caveat is to call and make sure the spa is willing to treat you while pregnant – some of them don’t (likely liability reasons).
Anonymous says
I love Homestead as well! You can also look at Bedford Springs in PA which is 2.5hrs from DC and also run by Omni, but no outdoor pool. We’ve been to both and i would say Homestead has a more impressive/fancier ambience but the rooms could use a little TLC (definitely stay in the OLD part of the resort it’s nicer). Bedford springs still has amazing food and it was completely gutted/renovated so it’s so nice. Get a room with a porch so you can sit out on rocking chairs. But really, being able to swim outside in the mineral pool in October is one of me and DHs favorite memories (it’s not like a hot tub so it’s not too hot for pregnancy)
SC says
Ritz Carlton at Key Biscayne? It has a spa and is on the beach, and I remember it being amazing.
You should check whether the spa offers services to pregnant women, but I got a prenatal massage at the Ritz in my home city while I was pregnant.

Could someone please tell me the name of the sleep book that tells parents how to deal with their own night wakings after they sleep trained their baby (ok, toddler)? We maybe, finally(?), for the 3rd or 4th time post-illness, have got our LO sleeping through the night. My husband and I however, are still waking up. Sometimes she legitimately is calling out in her sleep but other times I just wake up for no reason. I’ve seen a book recommended on this site that talks about it but I can’t seem to find it! TIA!
rosie says
Hah I did not know this was a thing, but have often wished for it. Interested to see responses…
Anonymous says
I ultimately had to go back on medication for depression (something I had dealt with multiple times in the past) but if that is not the underlying issue, I find that if I get awakened briefly it helps me get back to sleep if I can remember what I was dreaming right when I woke up. If I then try to get back into the dream that seems to help me keep my brain return to sleep. But I would love to hear other recommendations.
FWIW it is completely normal to wake up a little bit periodically throughout the night between sleep cycles–this is theoretically why kids that don’t know how to fall asleep on their own need soothing back to sleep periodically–but if you go back to sleep quickly you forget it, so we don’t realize we do it.
Anon says
+1. Super normal to wake-up at the end of a sleep cycle, you just don’t know you do it. I’d also add that it’s likely that the baby is waking you, even if you don’t realize it. Our daughter often yells out “AHHH” for literally one second and then gets completely silent again. It’s very possible that a noise from her wakes you up but by the time you realize you’re awake, she’s gone back to sleep. If you’re still using a monitor, it might help to turn the volume down or even ditch it completely, assuming you would hear sustained crying through your door.
Anonymous says
The No Cry Sleep Solution by Pantley has a chapter at the end about how to fix your own sleep once baby is sleeping.

How does ASOS sizing run? I’m 8 months now and I have a wedding to go to at about 2 months postpartum and was looking at this dress because it would be easy to nurse in, and is an attractive price. I’m typically about an Ann Taylor 12 on the bottom in a curvy fit or 14 in a straight fit, and an 8-10 on top, always have to take the waist in for anything to fit correctly. Any thoughts on what size I should get?

I ordered some Asos stuff when I was pregnant, and I found the sizing to be pretty inconsistent. I’d order multiple sizes and return what didn’t fit.

When I was growing up, my mom and a lot of the moms I knew stayed home and identified as stay at home moms. Now, I’m one of just a couple moms in my daughter’s kindergarten class that works 9-5, but I’d say almost nobody identifies as or introduces themselves as a stay at home mom. Some of the women definitely work, just with different schedules (teachers, nurses) but there are a lot of fitness instructors, freelancer writers, photographers, artists, realtors and, yes, quite a few people who are “in sales” (aka MLMs). I’ll admit I judge the MLMs but otherwise I’m not trying to disparage these professions – I have friends that work full-time and earn a living at selling houses or photography. But from talking to these women and looking at some of their business pages I’m skeptical they’re really working in the sense most working people use that term – they are stay at home moms who have a side gig that brings in a little money. Which is fine! I think staying home with your kids is a perfectly valid choice, if you want to do it (and most of these women have kids younger than 5, so I can’t imagine anyone would think they’re sitting around doing nothing all day). But it seems like they can’t just admit to being stay at home moms, they have to insist they have Real Careers. I’ve heard more than a couple disparaging comments about the handful of women who actually cop to being stay at home moms (many of whom do a ton of volunteer work and/or have other major responsibilities like caring for an elderly parent). And of course, they’re judgy of working moms too, because other people are “raising their kids.” It feels like the only “right” way to be a mom these days is to be home every afternoon after school with your kids but also have some kind of paying side gig so you’re not a “load” on your husband. Has anyone else noticed this? It just all feels so much more competitive and exhausting than when we were kids.
Lana Del Raygun says
I disagree. I think it’s partly just that “SAHM” can be a bit of a dead-end answer to “what do you do,” and this is a way around that, and more broadly that they don’t identify as SAHMs, because they are doing other stuff and it’s presumably meaningful to them. That’s fine, and doesn’t necessarily indicate that they’re somehow in denial.
But if fewer mothers feel comfortable identifying as SAHMS, I suspect that has to do with its evolution into such an intense all-consuming vocation, at least in MC/UMC circles.
mascot says
I think everyone overlays their own insecurities onto this. As much as working moms think that SAHMs are judging them for not raising their kids, plenty of SAHMs feel judged by working moms that they aren’t living up to their potential or that whatever their part time gig is doesn’t qualify as “real” work. We can all find common ground on the fact that raising kids is hard and expensive and time consuming and that none of us feel like we are doing it right 100% of the time.
Anonymous says
Idk, I work 10-15 hours/week doing consulting in the industry I worked in for over a decade. My kids are in childcare so I can work, about 15 hours/week.
“What do you do”?
“I do (industry) consulting part time, and runna shuttle service for my kids, haha.”
My daughter has classmates with a mom in real estate (mom) who is the primary breadwinner and they live in a million dollar house. Dad is the head tennis instructor at a fancy club in town.
Another classmate’s mom does MLM and makes $250k/year (she was in a “real” sales role prior and is so much more a sales professional vs typical MLM. I have never once been invited to any kind of party purveying her wares). Dad is in finance. They are *loaded* and it’s both of them.
The moms that stay home with no gig whatsoever struggle to talk about what they do- we live in a really expensive town so saying “well I put the kids in preschool and basically bum around and do yoga and crossfit” doesn’t happen. Some moms are interior designers or landscape architects or writers but they do it part time.
Anonymous says
They are working! They are not stay at home moms! Stop being so judgy!

I say good for them for finding a balance that works for their lives. Who are you to say whether or not they have real jobs? Starting your own side business takes creativity and drive too, even if you don’t do it full-time.

Does either one of formula and breastmilk make babies snottier? LO has a cold and we’re combo-feeding anyway so I’m wondering if one of them makes things better or worse.
Anon says
I think the lactation consultants will tell you b-milk is the cure for everything. But anecdotally, I mostly combo fed and at various times did 100% b-milk and almost 100% formula and never noticed any difference in how often she got sick or how uncomfortable she seemed while sick.
Lana Del Raygun says
I wasn’t thinking that breastmilk would cure anything. I’ve noticed I produce a lot more mucus myself when I’m drinking a lot of milk, so I wondered if one kind of baby milk would have the same effect.
Anon says
Well, they’re both milk, so that doesn’t really make any sense.
Lana Del Raygun says
I don’t know what it is in milk that does it, so theoretically it might be something that’s more present in one or the other, that’s all. (It might also be one of those folk myths, come to think of it. Oh dear.)
GCA says
I mean, cow’s milk protein is definitely different from what’s in human breastmilk, my daughter is allergic to the one but not the other. (Hence the pricey European hypoallergenic formula with the proteins extra-broken-down. Grr.) However, the mucus thing is an old wives’ tale bandied about but there is basically no evidence for it: https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2017/02/24/do-dairy-foods-cause-mucus-production/
Lana Del Raygun says
“In one study, researchers infected 60 Australians with the common cold and then had them live communally for 10 days. Participants tracked their dairy intake and collected their used tissues in sealed bags for later weighing by a research assistant.”

I always tried to feed more from the breast when DD was sick rather than pumping cause of the whole creating custom antibodies for them thing. But no both are probably fine! We found that steaming up the bathroom and a warm bath helps.
NYCer says
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how is feeding from the breast vs pumping any different? If you pump milk and then give it in a bottle, it has different antibodies than straight up breast feeding? Or do you mean giving milk that was pumped on a different day vs. breastfeeding the day the baby is sick?
(I am not being judgmental, I am genuinely curious!)
Anon says
I think it’s generally believed that the antibodies break down in the fridge and especially in the freezer.
Anonymous says
Yes – you can look up the studies, but if you feed from the breast there is two way transmission from the babies saliva into the nip*le. Mom’s body then makes custom antibodies to fight that particular infection. Of course babies still get antibodies from pumped milk, and working moms have to pump. But I was usually the one to stay home with DD so I’d feed from the breast rather than bottles when possible.
rosie says
I have read about this but never from what I would consider a definitive source. I more just thought it was because mom + baby were generally exposed to the same things, so if she had something, I had it too (or was fighting it) so bm, even pumped, would be somewhat tailored to the particular infection.
Lana Del Raygun says
She definitely got this cold from me, sigh. I’m not pumping anymore though, so the breastmilk she’s getting while I’m gone is what I froze over the last month or two.
Anonymous says
Not the poster above but it was my understanding that the antibodies may not survive refridgeration so you’d have to pump and feed the bottle immediately to get the benefit and that case it’s usually just as easy to nurse.
Edna Mazur says
I read an article about this (not scholarly, I’m not a scientist). Apparently, when the baby is nursing, they create a vacuum and some of their saliva gets sucked back into the mom’s n***le (don’t know what causes moderation). So the milk when the baby is sick is different looking and calibrated towards that. Or something along those lines….
Brir says
Ok this milk vacuum thing is so stupid!! It is like the biggest internet myth about bfing and it is just a theory, there is no scientific proof. Someone just hypothesized that maybe it works that way, no study at all was done ( and it would be crazy difficult to do, because you would have to have mom bfing in a hazmat suit basically to prove that they werent being exposed from other means). Moms have antibodies in their milk to whatever their baby has because of close contact not because of saliva backwashing through the nipple (??). Your baby might get sick less often because of being breast fed but the milk is not going to heal them faster once they are actually sick! And their is no “ reverse vaccum antibody factory” from direct nursing.
GCA says
I doubt it, or if there’s any effect, it’s marginal at best. (Also at home dealing with a baby who was feverish enough last night to be kept home today, but is now going wild and being snotty all over the house.) Like prev poster I try to direct latch more for all the antibodies, but we also combo feed a bit and I’ve not seen any difference. Besides steam and warm bath, definitely use saline, nosefrida and boogie wipes.
Lana Del Raygun says
Why is “maternity and nursing” such a huge category? Aren’t most pregnant women done nursing their previous children?
ElisaR says
I agree, once I was nursing I really didn’t want to wear anything maternity. I did have one shirt from Nordstrom that was from that category (I wore for both mat and nursing) that I loved but for the most part….. no thanks.
Anon says
It means either/or, not necessarily both at the same time.
Lana Del Raygun says
Most of ASOS’s (and other retailers’) nursing clothes seem to be designed for pregnancy, with extra fabric in front (either ruched on the sides or long and flowy).
Anonymous says
Double duty?
Anon says
Yeah, the idea is that you wear it while pregnant and then you can continue to wear it while nursing, so you get more mileage out of it than you otherwise would. I also think in this context “nursing” is a bit of a euphemism for that awkward postpartum time where you don’t fit into your real clothes. “Maternity and nursing” sounds better than “maternity and fat postpartum period.”
ElisaR says
those genius marketers!!
Working Mom Sites says
I think we’ve discussed before but couldn’t find the discussion. Anyone have a favorite working mom blog/site/podcast to recommend? Here’s what’s currently on my list:
– Best of Both Worlds Podcast
– Laura Vanderkam’s blog (of BOBW)
– Gretchen Rubin (not specifically mom)
– Sarah Hart-Unger’s blog (of BOBW)
– The Mom Hour Podcast (general mom)
I’m sure there are more out there! Or not? Anything awesome I missed?

I adore The Mom Hour and have listened since the first episode, even though their work situations are so different from my own. I love the down-to-earth, concrete advice.
I have conflicted feelings about Best of Both Worlds, but I won’t get into that again! I appreciate they address the working moms specifically, because so many parenting podcasts DON’T, but I also don’t find them especially relatable.

Ha! Yeah, I remember that discussion and agree with the mixed feelings about BOBW. We don’t need to go down that road again. :)
