As I’ve mentioned before, I love all things pumpkin spice. So I couldn’t resist sharing this darling swaddle-and-hat set for a future PSL aficionado.
This pumpkin spice swaddle and hat set would make a fun gift for a fall baby. It’s made from soft Lunaluxe bamboo viscose that’s gentle on baby’s skin. While you can obviously use it as a swaddle, it also works as a car seat / stroller cover, nursing wrap, and play mat.
Little Sleepies’ Pumpkin Spice Swaddle & Hat Set is $36.
P.S. If you like the print, check out the rest of the Pumpkin Spice line, including a blanket and women’s PJs.

Mine is still young and we don’t have any diagnosis (yet?) but I liked The Spirited Child. Not so much for the actual parenting techniques, although some were helpful, but more just because the author come across as very empathetic to parents. At least for me, a lot of parenting books read as if the author blames you if their techniques don’t work for your kid, and I thought The Spirited Child did a way better job than most at recognizing that it just takes a lot of trial and error and what works for one kid won’t necessarily work for others (especially spirited/neurodiverse kids).
Moms with kids with ADHD, ASD, or otherwise neurodiverse issues, are there any forums, blogs, books or other resources you’ve found particularly helpful in navigating this? I’m finding parenting media aimed at neurotypical kids increasingly stressful because it doesn’t really fit our family’s situation. Thanks!
Anyone have parenting book or resource (insta accounts etc) recs for early elementary? Girls in particular if that matters. Now that my oldest is 7 and younger is 5, there’s just a lot more mental and emotional stuff to navigate, esp with the older one. I get annoyed with Dr Becky but have taken bits and pieces from her. My oldest has clearly inherited my anxiety and I also have but have not yet read “anxious kids, anxious parents”, planning to dive into that soon.
If you have a nanny and 2+ kids that the nanny is caring for, how much do you pay (specify on or off books), how many hours/week, and where are you located(ish)?
someone tell me what coats my kids need this year. i have twins in K. we live in Houston. the past 2 years we haven’t gone back east in the winter so have gotten away with a hooded north face denali fleece and layer with a thick sweatshirt underneath + hat + gloves for our handful of super cold days. i usually buy our fleeces big so they last at least two yearsthis year we are going to the DMV area for Thanksgiving (weather could be 30-60) and then on a ski trip to Utah in January. trying to borrow stuff, but we don’t live in a place where people own a lot of winter gear. i would like to purchase the fewest coats possible, especially since i have to buy double and don’t have siblings to pass them down to. would like a 3 in 1 jacket from Target be good for this purpose? do i need something better quality?
Is there a place to get somewhat warm and not too expensive socks for toddlers? We have been doing the cheap cotton ones from Old Navy for my 13 month old, but it’s starting to get cold here in Canada and her daycare takes them out almost every day. We will get her boots of course, but I’ve found that good socks really help with cold feet.
This is so cute!
Novel post:
I’ve been posting re Kid #2’s speech delay. They turn 3 in a few months and aren’t quite putting sentences together yet, and have some issues with articulation. Thanks to all who have shared in response.
Initially we did EI which wasn’t great – the therapist was lovely but she was virtual due to staffing issues, and she suggested that if we can swing it, private/in-person would be better for kid’s needs and that kid would probably “graduate” out in ~6-9 months, and she suggested that that kid wouldn’t probably continue to qualify for EI due to the level of the delay (mild), plus we only had a handful of months until kid turned 3, and it just didn’t sound like the school-based eval/programs post-EI were a fit at this point for us, which the ST agreed with.
Through our healthcare provider we were going to start 2x/month in-person speech therapy this week. But after reading everyone’s posts, I looked into a speech therapist that could meet with kid at school 1x/ weekly. I guess we got lucky because I found someone quickly, that is nearby, well-reviewed and has availability, and kid starts this week. First session at home, and then the therapist will go to Kid #2’s daycare.
I’ve found myself…increasingly anxious about all of this. Initially I was like oh this is a minor delay, they’ll be fine. I’m not sure if it’s because they turn 3 in a few months, but all of a sudden I’m worried about all kinds of development – potty training (we’ve started sitting on the potty – that’s it; kid tells me when they’ve gone), switching to a bed, etc.
No concerns from ped, and when I read the broad milestone checklists for age 3, kid is headed towards all of those goals or is there.
This is my second kid so I feel like I should know better by now…
I just have to vent a little…
My 5 year old was flagged for speech therapy by a pre-K teacher last year, and as part of that they did hearing testing several times and said she had pretty significant hearing loss due to chronic fluid in her ear that had persisted over many months. We saw an ENT who said we needed to have surgery (tubes and adenoids) to fix it. We asked about non-surgical options, but he said there were none. Literally three days before the surgery was supposed to take place, I happened to mention it to another mom, who said her kid had the exact same issue and it was fixed by a month of Flonase. I asked the doctor about delaying the surgery to try Flonase and he was so dismissive and rude. He basically treated me like I was one of those “ivermectin cures Covid” loonies and told us it would never work and we were wasting our time with something that wasn’t evidence-based, but I decided there was little downside to delaying a month so we did.
Welllllll we just had our follow up appointment after one month of Flonase and guess what? Ear fluid is GONE. Hearing is much improved and in the normal range in both ears. Which is great, obviously, but gahhhh. My kid would have had completely unnecessary surgery if I hadn’t happened to casually mention this to a mom friend. Why is our healthcare like this!?
my 4 year old has a may 31st birthday, he was due June 4th. our state has a September 1st cutoff and I’m not sure whether I should hold him back or send him. academically, I worry he might be bored and get in trouble but I also think he has ADD which has been manageable at home and in prek so far, but im not sure if hell get in trouble more next year in a larger public school envt. Is it ever weird in the later years to be a full year older than some if your peers? I wish my kids had fall birthdays so this would be a non issue!
