Ooh: this looks like a great nursing top from H&M. I like that in addition to the wrap there’s a bit of fabric on top that keeps you feeling covered. It’s available in red (pictured), as well as a lovely black melange and a powder beige; all shirts are $24 and available in XS-XL. It’s machine washable too. MAMA Nursing Top

No to wine with this discussion. Inhibitions may be lowered and things may be said that are impossible to un-say.
Seeking advice… I am 36, have a 3 year old daughter, and would love to have one more child soon. The problem my husband is decidedly in the “one and done” camp. I had a difficult delivery and these early years have been hard on him- he is a great father, but has a demanding job and gets very stressed by parenting and all that it entails. I work full-time as an academic, but recently got tenure and will have considerable time/flexibility to devote to parenting.
He has refused couples counseling and won’t talk to me about the topic of another child. I recently wrote him a letter to simply start a conversation about the topic so that we can move forward. Now he is barely speaking to me and is basically shut down. I don’t know how to proceed. I think he is processing his feelings, but I am just so sad by the entire situation. Advice?
It’s way too early for me to be worried about this, but I’m going to worry anyway – one of the preschool classrooms at my daycare has a raised loft area. A few years ago, there was an incident on the raised loft that resulted in a teacher being fired and allegations of child abuse that were reported to the state. Within the last couple weeks, the state issued another citation to the school regarding lack of supervision of two children on the raised loft area. The state also recommended that the school follow through with a change to secure that area which the school proposed a year ago, but hasn’t done.
My kiddo is still in toddlers, but this is the next classroom she would be in….and it worries me. The teachers have stayed fairly constant in the problem classroom, and I think I like them, but how does the school not correct something like that even after two major state investigations? I wouldn’t pull her out right now because we love (love love love) the toddler teachers, but this makes me question whether she’ll be attending the preschool.
anyone have a favorite backpack they use as a diaper bag? I’m looking for something we can take on a day hike that will be comfortable with some formula bottles and water bottle and snacks for adults.
I’m trying to help a friend sort out childcare in the DC/Falls Church area and was hoping some of you brilliant ladies could weigh in: She and her husband both work in DC, and they need to figure out child care for their 2.5 month old baby that can start in 3-5 weeks (!!). They’re considering au pair and nanny options, but budget will probably be an impediment – anyone want to chime in with advice and experience? I don’t have kids so I’m not sure where to start, but this is the one thing they said they could really use my help with. Thanks in advance! :)
Some of our favorites that include diversity (although sometimes the diversity is diverse animals…):
Snail and the Whale
Room on the Broom
Three Ninja Pigs
Airport (Priddy Books)
Any recommendations for favorite kids books, esp ones that will introduce kids to other cultures? I’m soon to deliver my first and was looking at some of my old favorites and was a bit horrified by some of the racism, sexism, etc (albeit sometimes subtle) that I see in some kids books reading them as an adult. Would love to have a collection of books that’s not culturally narrow. I’m white American. We speak Spanish as well as English, so books in either language work.
A close friend of mine has started to shave her 4yo’s legs and arms for hair. I am struggling to find the best way to bring this up with her without sounding too preachy. She has always struggled with body image like most of us to a certain degree but she’s always had this hang-up about body hair. Now I see that she’s redirecting some of this to her daughter where it really isn’t warranted. Should I mind my own business or try to talk to her about it?
