If you have an easily distracted baby who keeps pulling away from you while you’re nursing — or you have a baby who likes to pull and gnaw at your jewelry while you’re carrying him or her — or (perhaps) you just enjoy large, chewable jewelry — then do consider a teething necklace. I had two with H — a longer one like this that I wore when he was nursing and fascinated by his older brother’s antics, and a shorter one that I wore when I wore him in our Boba baby carrier. I like the muted colors of this one, and the fact that it’s only $18 and eligible for Prime. Organic Silicone Teething Necklace

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Mom: Who cuts this grass?
Me: the HOA hires someone
Mom: It’s really long.
Me: They’ll do it soon.
Mom: Well when it gets long like this it can mess up the lawnmower. (okay? what am I supposed to do?)
Mom: It’s too bad you can’t keep your living room cleaner.
Me: The kids (both under 3) just scatter the toys. Ana (au pair) tries but they just go and dump them out as soon as she puts them away.
Mom: Well it’s too bad. It looks terrible like this. (uh, thanks)
Mom: When are you going to walk the dog?
Me: After the kids are in bed.
Mom: He needs a walk.
Me: I know. I’m going to take him, but after the kids are in bed.
Mom: He’s in this house all day.
Me: Well, we can only take him when we’re at home. He’s a good boy.
Mom: He’s not good. He’s bored! (good, so dog guilt on top of mom guilt. awesome.)
Mom: More cheese? Didn’t the kids eat cheese for breakfast?
Mom: Are you going to clean that rug some time? It’s so dirty.
Am I the only one or are all mom visits like this? My husband can’t figure out why they stress me out so much.
How many blowouts is too many blowouts? Trying to decide if I need to buy another pack of size 1s or a pack of size 2s on the wha home today. Baby had a major blow out on Sunday and another today, but has also had a bit of a stomach bug. Not sure if it’s the nature of the poop or the size of the diaper.
Sad working mom guilt – yesterday at pick-up, my son’s daycare teacher told me that lately, during outdoor play time in the afternoon, he has been sitting on a little hill that overlooks the parking lot crying, asking for me, and asking his teachers when I am going to come pick him up. She said this starts around 3 p.m. And yesterday, two of his little friends sat with him to comfort him. She said this has been going on for a couple of weeks now.
I feel so, so sad about this! It’s getting close to 3 p.m. now and the thought of him sitting there crying and waiting for me just breaks my heart. The teachers try to comfort him but they said he just cries and cries and won’t play. Any wisdom/advice/been-there stories?
I walked into my son’s room this morning, and he handed me something from his crib… it was his diaper, and he had peed all over the mattress, stuffed animals, blankets, etc. What is a good resource for figuring out how to potty train? As in, the logistics of when/how/etc.?
If you had to choose between an infant spot in two equally high-quality daycares–one that was literally on your way to work but you have to bring all lunch/snacks once they start eating solids, and one that was a little bit out of the way (potentially adding 10-15 minutes to AM commute) but that provided all food, which would you pick? I recognize that there’s some individual preference here, but as our kid isn’t born yet, I am not yet sure whether getting out the door a few minutes early or getting out the door later but with lunch packed is going to be a bigger hurdle. The prices are the same–more than our monthly mortgage payment, but the same. Thanks!
FWIW, I had a very similar grey silicone necklace strung on knotted ribbon. Baby wasn’t that interested, but I felt safe wearing it and I’ve never gotten more compliments on a necklace. Like from strangers on the street. No matter what shmata I was wearing it with.
Clif’s notes on the 2 year old sleep regression, please? I am sleep-deprived, bleary-eyed, and cannot find my Weissbluth book. DD has woken up 1-3 times every night for the last week. She has been an excellent and consistent sleeper for the past year after some CIO. Now she wakes up and is afraid of monsters, asks for food, asks for books, and last night she was so stressed out she couldn’t even speak she just cried and flapped her arms. After giving in to her demands, mainly just to get her to calm down, we ultimately let her CIO and she fell asleep.
