Any recs for a coat for a toddler boy in the Midwest? I’m too paranoid to let him wear it in his carseat, so need something that comes on and off fairly easily.
I feel like I am searching for a sippy cup that does not exist and would appreciate any wisdom or recommendations! My 14 month old currently uses the nuk active sippy cup for his milk and water at daycare. We send in water and milk daily in a lunchbox. I’d love to move him to a straw cup or better sippy cup for water, but everything I find either leaks or is super bulky and I can’t fit it in his lunchbox with his lunch. My first went to a daycare where they provided milk with open cups in the toddler room, which was great, but our new daycare has you provide everything so I’m stumped on how to send his milk in for lunch in once we are done with the nuk soft sippy cup. Any suggestions?
What’s entertaining you right now about your kid(s)?
My three year old is potty-training and has started clapping for me after I pee if we’re in the bathroom at the same time.
My 13 year old plays “20 Questions” solely about obscure characters from The Office with my husband every day right now. I can’t participate because I have barely watched the show but I find it hilarious.
Wise hive, I need some help!
I’ve been brea$tfeeding/ pumping for one year and I am ready to stop. But how do I stop? There seems to be very limited resources on this issue.
Current feeding schedule:
– Wakeup – nurse at home (occurs between 6 – 7:30 am)
– Pump 1 at work – around 10:30 am
– Pump 2 at work – around 2:30 pm
– After daycare nurse – around 5:30/6 pm (sometimes, not always)
– Before bed nurse – around 7/7:30 pm
I tried to go from 2 pumps to 1 at work (occurring around noon) which is mostly working. Do I then start decreasing the amount of time I pump? What next?
Also, she has stopped taking her bottles of pumped milk at daycare (maybe she drinks 3 oz, with lots of food and water). I’ve been giving her the second bottle on the way home to keep her full (and prevent the after daycare nursing). If she doesn’t drink this second bottle, she inevitably wakes up in the night hungry and wanting to nurse.
And to make life more fun, she’s allergic to dairy so we have to use a milk alternative.
Suggestions??
Anyone feel strongly about their high chair? We are in the market. Our 7 week old is our third and last baby (thought we were done with 2, gave away our old one), so I don’t feel the need to invest in the top of the line. Looking for the mvp to get the job done.
Thanks for your recommendations!
Suggestions for what undergarments to wear for moderate exercise while bre@stfeeding? I am 5 weeks pp and just starting to take vigorous walks and light jogs. I am extremely top heavy at the moment — probably an H cup. And my nursing bras are not nearly supportive enough. Will I cause myself problems if I cram into my pre-delivery sports bra? No underwire, but it is quite tight.
I’m trying to decide what kind of stroller to buy and could use your input. I have a three month old and we’ve just been using the stroller frame that goes with the Chicco car seat for now. We will use it primarily for a walking commute to daycare, and may occasionally use it on metro. I was pretty set on the city mini GT, but now am considering the Mockingbird because you can reverse the seat to do rear-facing. Will the desire to do rear-facing go away relatively soon? Will it be annoying that you can’t collapse the stroller while the seat is rear-facing? Thanks so much!
Best tips for making mom friends? My son is in preschool so I am on a first name basis with the other moms in his class but struggling to move to the next step with any of them (or with other moms I see around with similarly aged kids). What’s worked for you?
Need recommendations for a new kids’ table. We’ve been using the IKEA LACK side table and little stools for the last two years, but with three kids trying to use it, I think we need to upgrade. Kids are 4 (but small) and two (big) 16 month olds. I have my eye on the nesting table/chairs from Crate and Barrel, but it’s spendy. I want something with decent surface area, so I think the other IKEA tables are too small. Suggestions?
Tips for surviving croup? None of us slept more than an hour straight last night.
I know this was discussed before but please share your tips for a smooth morning routine. I am becoming extremely stressed out to get son and I out the door, drop off at preschool, then commute to work for an hour. The best option for our family is to find a job closer to home and cut my 2.5 hour commute. Until then I need to survive. Any miracle beauty product that makes you look fresh without spending more than 5 min doing makeup? I also have to pack my breakfast and son’s breakfast. I’ve been doing sandwiches but these take time prepping.
Also, do you have any podcasts or book recommendations on how to stay calm in all the daily chaos? Thanks ladies! ?
