I’d really appreciate some help with parenting books.
I was a massively scheduled kid while the husband was left to go free. We both like our child (around age 1) to be in activities like tot swim, baby music etc. We’ve focused on providing books in a variety of forms and open play type toys like soft toys, blocks etc. There is so much stuff out there like baby dance, baby massage therapy and baby sign language and it’s hard to know what is of any use, what is a waste of money and how much is too much.
I loved their fleece maternity tights, and got a lot of use from them. They were so comfortable that I never wanted to take them off. Not at all constricting, but also stayed up nicely. The sizing does run long–I have a 33″ inseam, bought the tall size, and probably should have gotten the regular ones (they tended to bunch up at my ankles). My only complaint was the the tights did start pilling in the knees relatively quickly. Next time, I’ll probably spring for the more expensive leggings, and hope that they are more durable.
Very helpful, thanks! I just reread my question and decided that “discipline” is too strong of a word for what I am intending. I was looking for advice on just what to do in these scenarios – exactly what you said: ignore, redirect.
Hi Mom pals! When and how did you start to discipline your kid? I have a 13 month old who is calm and mostly well-behaved, but is starting to throw food, hit me while nursing, and crawl into the washing machine. She throws her food when she is done eating/not hungry and I have tried to teach her the sign for “all done” but that has not worked, so instead she shakes her head and clears everything on her tray.
This is just a rant. I have a couple of pairs of maternity pants and jeans that fit perfectly/slightly snug in the store, but once they’ve been worn for about 20 minutes stretch so far beyond ridiculousness that they make me physically angry. I am now using binder clips to hold up the pants I put on for work this morning. BINDER CLIPS. And I’m annoyed that this appears to be a trend with my recent purchases. Are maternity suspenders a thing? I know an easy solution is to not take the tags off anything until I’ve worn them at least around the block, I’m just annoyed at my current wardrobe malfunction.
Regular poster on the main site. Can anyone recommend a ob gyn who is friendly to older mothers in DC or nearby? I happily have a bfp after a year of trying and now need to sort out next steps! I didn’t do ivf or ART and am older (nearing 43)–I don’t have a regular ob and didn’t love the practices I used for my 2 previous pregnancies. Do I go automatically to a high-risk ob, based solely on my age? Is there a standout on around here for regular old-mama pregnancies? Thanks!
I am going to a conference tomorrow and my kiddo will be spending some time with her dad, and then a night with my parents. Last night I realized that I’m totally anxious about it and started having really upsetting thoughts about my kiddo being inconsolable about me being gone, or me crying in my hotel room without her. I don’t think she will actually have a problem with it; she hasn’t had issues with separation anxiety before, and she is generally pumped about new situations (and there will be doggies at both houses, so there is that). Any tips for me to be comfortable being away from her? She is almost 2. Talk on the phone at night with her?
Also, we are still nursing in the morning and before bed, so there will be 3 nights and 3 mornings that we will skip. I thought I was OK with potentially losing what small supply I still had, but now I’m wondering if I should bring a manual pump just in case…..
What are some good brands for toddler shoes (size 6)? I’m looking especially for boots with flexible soles. I like the fit of Stide Rite but I find their styles a little garish. Other ideas?
Good morning ladies! I’ve posted occasionally before about my infertility struggles under a different name and I’m happy to announce that I’m now 4 weeks and 2 days pregnant. It’s still very early and I’m still under the care of my reproductive endocrinologist at NYU.
I originally selected my ob/gyn based on some factors that are no longer a consideration and am looking for a change. For those of you in NYC, where are the best places to deliver? Assume I’m looking for a hospital birth with an epidural, and a doctor willing to push the limits a bit in order to avoid a c-section unless it’s absolutely necessary. There’s a decent chance I’m carrying twins, but won’t know for sure until an ultrasound in 11 days.
Are there useful lists/resources you can point me toward? I’ve heard a lot of good and horrible anecdotes over the years (here and elsewhere) but all the hospitals seem to have blurred in my head. I live on the UWS and work in midtown west so bonus points for convenience! Thanks in advance!
