Family Friday: Rash Guard Baby Swimsuit

Tea has the best prints, and this adorable baby rash guard is no exception.
This long-sleeved rash guard will protect your little one from the sun with UPF 40+ protection. The zipper closure has an interior guard for protection — and having zipped myself and my kids, this is a very welcome feature. It comes in a number of fun prints (I find the melon popsicles particularly cute) and you can find matching swimwear for big brother or sister in Tea’s Sibling Shop.
Tea’s Rash Guard Baby Swimsuit is on sale for $24 (that’s half off!). Most prints are available in sizes 3–6M to 4T. While you’re at it, check out Tea’s Rewear site where you can buy, sell, or trade preloved items.

Paging OctoberMoms – I missed your comment yesterday but would love to hear how other expecting moms on this board are doing!
Yesterday was my 20 week ultrasound (I’m actually 22 weeks) and the first one that took place at the hospital instead of my friendly OBGYN office. I’m signed up at this hospital because my doctor is affiliated with them, it’s brand new and supposedly one of the best in our city, and not far from our home. But… I didn’t love it? First, hospitals in general give me anxiety. Second, they were running more than an hour late. And third, I found everyone to be polite enough but not exactly warm. I get it, they do it a million times a day, but at the previous ultrasound the tech was so friendly and happy and it was such a moving experience, this time she just kind of robotically was like here are the feet, here are the kidneys, OK I’ll go get the doctor now. The baby is looking good, but apparently my placenta is low. The radiologist was like “well, it’ll probably resolve on its own, otherwise you’ll get a C-section. Bye!”. Of course this led me down a spiral of googling all kinds of horrible things and freaking out. I’m a little calmer today, but I can totally understand how people choose not to give birth in hospitals – I’m a firm believer in western medicine, but hospitals are just not happy places. Hoping this was just radiology and the actual maternity ward is friendlier.
I’m looking for a new diaper backpack. The only requirement is that it has good back support and must be light. It seems like I need to just look for an actual backpack, rather than one marketed for holding diapers.
Any recs for either backpacks to use as a diaper bag or actual diaper bag? Budget is $200max.
I also don’t care if it’s ugly! Function > looks
I need some beach tips/recommendations/tricks. As part of an immigrant fam with limited resources, I did not grow up really ever going to the beach (maybe once with some friends, but after sand-castle age). We live on the east coast and I want to do lots of beach trips, as it seems to be the one place my neurodiverse 3.5 year old is focused and relatively calm. What do we need for us to “be prepared” and to have fun on beach day trips (other than essentials, towel, sunscreen, swimsuits)? Do we get a wagon or a cooler?
I don’t know that we’ve had this post in a minute – apologies if we had – talk to me about mealplanning for quick meals with kids. How you structure your week and any favorite go to dishes? Easy recipes? I need help! Trying to get out of a rut. My kids have no allergies and eat most things, so the problem is us, not them!
We’re going for potty training our 2.5 yo this weekend. Husband has covid so seems a good a time as any since he’s stuck in our guest room and its super hot out anyway. Its’ been about 4.5 years since we did this with my older one. I know we used the Oh Crap method but are fuzzy on the details. Can anyone remind me of the general idea? No pants the first day, underwear thereafter?
Disneyland (not world) thoughts and tips, please. Going for a few days in late June. Has anyone gone recently? Our child is 4.
Thanks!
Does anyone have a very young kid who has difficulty regulating emotions? My 15 month old foster has BIG feelings, especially when he doesn’t get his way: screaming, holding his breath, head butting, etc. I’m a foster mom so I’ve seen some…stuff, but this one looks like he will be staying so I’m looking for strategies to keep him safe and help him regulate his emotions. Just wondering if you have advice. TIA
Your favorite toddler friendly resorts in the Caribbean or Cabo? Planning our first trip and would love to hear recs from the group. Ideally one with large-ish rooms (suites are a bonus). what was your favorite features/activities for the toddler? And if you used babysitting service how was that. Budget is up to $1200 a night
What do you do when your kids are driving you up the wall insane. We’ve been stuck at home for 4/5 past weekends and are currently in the midst of a Covid quarantine (we all had Covid). I kind of feel like if i hear “mommy” one more time I’m going to explode and completely lose it. They’ve watched so much TV that even that doesn’t do much. Currently playing outside with water and it’s still bickering with each other and mommy, mommy, mommy. Help!!!!
I had an egg retrieval yesterday and just found out only 3 eggs fertilized (of 5 retrieved). This is after having a cycle cancelled due to poor response. I’m 41 with diminished ovarian reserve, so none of this is really unexpected, but it’s really hard. I know the odds I end up with a genetically normal embryo at the end of this are basically zero.
To make it even more fun, I have a highly problematic employee (currently in a formal disciplinary process – we’re not in the US and due to local laws that is a very extended process that extends over months) who just told me she’s pregnant again at 44. Dealing with the issues she has caused is already literally the worst and most stressful part of my job right now, and now I have to figure out how to cover another mat leave for her (she just returned from leave for her second child 3 months ago) and deal with the increased liability associated with disciplinary action against an employee who happens to be pregnant and be an appropriately supportive boss, all while I’m wrecked over my own infertility.
Also consider a very large fanny pack (belt bag? idk what the term is these days). I have a pretty sizeable one from camelbak that I used to use for day hikes when I had a lot of neck pain. It held a water bladder and epipens and snacks so was pretty legit space wise, and all the weight was on my hips!
nesting fail!
Not sure if anybody will see this, but ProPublica is collecting information about prenantal genetic testing and issues with billing. I know people were discussing this issue the other day, you can share info in the link I’ll post below!
