Maternity Monday: Striped Cotton Maternity & Nursing Tunic

This is a really cute maternity/nursing top that I would wear right this moment — not pregnant and not nursing. I like the super long length and the tie waist to break it up a little bit. The boatneck plays well with the nautical blue stripes.
As you have seen from my prior picks, I am a fan of the statement button, and this top not only has them, but they are functional too. If you’re wearing this as a nursing top, you can unbutton the sides all the way for access. It’s also fully long sleeved, which is nice.
The top is $59 at Seraphine and is available in sizes 2–14. Striped Cotton Maternity & Nursing Tunic

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?
As we start wearing gloves and hats, I am struggling with how to organize them. I want my kids to be able to grab their own stuff. We have a coat closet but no real entryway or mud room. Anyone have any recommendations?
My 4-month-old was successfully sleep trained for falling asleep and night wakings in his bassinet, so we moved him to his crib. Where he now seems to have discovered the joy/frustration of trying to roll over. For the last two nights, I’ve been awakened at 2 AM by a baby who can roll onto his side, but not all the way to his tummy, periodically yelling in frustration. I’ve watched him on the baby monitor, and he gets halfway over and then is desperately flailing his arms and legs to try to get to his tummy, but can’t do it yet. And man, he is MAD about that situation. It is simultaneously hilarious and deeply exhausting (he did this on and off for two hours last night, before finally giving up and falling asleep on this back just in time for his 4:30 AM feeding, and I don’t feel like I can turn the sound off on the baby monitor because what if something else happens and I don’t hear it?). Anybody else experienced the Angry Rolling Baby?
This weekend my two year old went on a swing for the first time since March at a socially distant play date at a friend’s house. He was hysterical when it was time to get off and all he talked about all weekend. So much mom guilt for living in an apartment
Suggestions for jackets for 3 year and 1 year old for Southern weather? 50 degrees or so. Not sure what’s a reasonably priced but warm jacket.
TIA
Recommendations for best odor-preventing diaper disposal system (using for an adult)? Foot pedal, drop in, plastic bag lined. (Yes, bad for environment but cloth diapers on adult is not possible.) Thanks
I got a positive pregnancy test last night. Well, five positive tests actually because I couldn’t actually believe it. I already have a toddler and we were planning to start trying in a few months but I feel totally blindsided. I can’t quite pinpoint why I feel so shocked except that we weren’t actively trying. I just thought I had a few more months. We want this kid for sure but I just…am going to miss having my body to myself so much. I had a miserable pregnancy last time with a lot of morning sickness and then the newborn stage feels like torture to me with all the sleep deprivation and hormones. I love my kid like crazy now of course but I feel like it was such a long haul to get to the good stuff. Probably PPD related but I wish I could just hit fast forward.
Ugh, I am due with my second in two days, and I just want him out already. I’m not sure what he’s doing in there, but it’s putting so much pressure on my hipbones that it literally feels like an adult human is pushing on them full force. Never had that with my first! My first was also early so I’ve never been THIS pregnant before. Just miserable, ugh! Anyone else out there close to the end?
Regardless of whether you are going trick-or-treating, doing an alternative activity, or just hanging out spookily at home, what are your kids dressing up as? My 4yo is going to be a T-rex and my 2yo wants to be a penguin.
Also, any ideas for easy Halloween crafts? We cut some bats out of construction paper yesterday and the kids went NUTS for it so I’m thinking I should find more activities…
Thanks everybody for your potty training suggestions (particularly the push to use Miralax). It made a HUGE difference and I really think was the issue we were missing- it’s going great now and I would consider potty training complete, or as complete as it can be for a little kid.
