Nursing Tuesday: Nursing Top with Wrap Overlay
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.
ASOS has a number of tops like this, but this particular one is my favorite because the bottom layer is the same color, which makes the top feel more modern and sleek to me, whether you’re pregnant or nursing — the other ones feel like a cami beneath a crop top, or some such. The top looks functional (so many nursing tops fail to both let your baby nurse and keep your bits under wraps!), and at $45 it’s affordable. It’s available in both “khaki” (pictured) and orange, sizes 2-16. ASOS Maternity NURSING Top With Wrap Overlay In Texture

I just recently moved into a residence without a security system.
I’m sitting with one of my 13 week old twins in the picu at Children’s Hospital right now. We’re on day 4. He got RSV and went downhill so quickly! He is doing much better now, I’ve never felt such relief. Hoping his twin doesn’t come down with it too.
Respiratory season should be about over but just wanted to warn everyone of the symptoms of RSV and bronchiolitis as it took me by surprise. I thought, oh it’s just a cold, he’s coughing a little but he’s okay. The telltale sign of bronchiolitis is how they’re breathing. Watch for labored and/or fast breathing. Signs of labored breathing include, flared nostrils, chest sucking in near ribs, chest sucking in near collarbone.
Why are all nursing tops modeled on pregnant women?!!
A few weeks back someone posted a link to a mom’s blog with activities to do with toddlers during the day. Anyone remember the blog (or have a similar blog post they could share)?
ETA: the reason I need this is because I am trying to find activities/crafts for the nanny to do with my 16 month old during the day. So, if anyone has any activity ideas, I would also appreciate that.
I am winning today. I decided that a new pair of pants I’d ordered were a little too small but didn’t want to mail them back to the Gap and do an exchange that way, so I brought them back to the store. At the store, the clerk said they were even cheaper on the website now, so it would be best to return them and buy them online again. When I went to the website, they were cheaper but not eligible for free shipping unless I added something – and then I noticed that they had a promo code for 40% off T-shirts and 30% off everything else.
Long story short – I ordered the pants and a t-shirt, got free shipping and a discount, and paid less for both items than I had originally spent on the pants. Win.
Any advice on how we can manage to take our 1 year old to the beach without carrying 101 bags (toys, towels, clothes, diaper supplies, etc.). And any recommendations on beach bags??
What did you all do to get your affairs in order before/when you had your first kid?
Our situation is pretty straightforward–we’re married, no real assets other than joint emergency fund/future downpayment fund, plus our respective retirement funds (we are each others’ beneficiaries). We both work, both have student loans. We are thrilled to be having our first kid, but honestly, $$ will be quite tight (HCOL area, daycare is expensive, will need to buy a car, OMG what was I thinking!). Still, I figure now is the best time to think about contingency plans. I’m wondering what those of you in similar situations (i.e., not tons of $$ to spend) have done in terms of:
1. Life insurance? Disability insurance?
2. Will/advance directive (esp. in terms of guardianship of child)?
3. Medical directives, powers of attorney?
I’d love to hear any recommendations as to books or other resources as well. I’m just trying to figure out how to go about this research (and hoping, besides insurance, I can use online services for some of this).
Thanks!
Ideas for keeping a toddler busy on a plane? I learned from this list or another that a box of bandaids will entertain a toddler for some time (open box, take out wrapped bandaids, unwrap, peel, stick, unstick, etc.). Other ideas?
