A woman wearing  The Work Stripe Nursing Shirt from the MADRI COLLECTION
This top from Madri Collection is a little bit on the pricier side, but if you’ve committed to pumping at work, I can see this design being worth investing in. I think this shirt does a good job at hiding the zippers so it does not seem like an obvious nursing top. With a button-down shirt you can just unbutton the top few buttons, but this may be helpful if you’re trying to avoid being exposed from the waist up during your pumping sessions. I think this shirt can even be worn after you’re done pumping or nursing, because it looks like a great cut regardless of its hidden function. This top comes in white and two  prints, is machine washable, and is available for $148 at MadriCollection.com in XS–L. The Work Shirt in White This maternity/nursing-friendly top from Storq goes up to 3XL and is $98.

Question. Are these “pumping friendly” tops worth it? Am I the only one who takes off her whole shirt and bra, puts on a pumping bra and zip up hoodie sweatshirt (bc my office is always cold), and pumps that way? Because this shirt looks really nice but does it actually make things easier?

I’m struggling. My baby is almost 3 weeks old and it’s our first day completely alone. I had a rough labor (4 hours of pushing!) and she was in the NICU for a week. BFing was going well but over the past few days it’s been painful and she’s so fussy. At the pediatrician yesterday, her weight wasn’t great so I got my lactation consultant back in. I’m having a hard time actually doing the things she showed me yesterday, and am basically just sitting here with sore nips and a screaming baby. She is just constantly wanting to feed.

On top of all of this, my second degree tear hasn’t healed well. I finally got it looked at yesterday and it turns out my stitches have fallen out! Likely due to all of the back-and-forth to the NICU. It’s TBD whether I need to be re-stitched or if I’ll heal on my own. But I basically am back to square one of healing and am not supposed to do any activity but keep my legs glued shut. I’m scared things will never be normal down there.

Basically just feeling totally overwhelmed. Outsourcing what I can and not worrying about anything but feeding the baby and trying to sleep. It will get better, right? It has to…

Favorite places to buy trendy/unique baby boy clothes? Currently shopping at Carter’s, Hanna, Monica & Andy, Zara, Gymboree, Gap, and Old Navy, but looking to branch out a little.

I’m ready to get kiddo (just turned 3) a table and chairs for the playroom. I really prefer the look of the PB Kids ones, but I want to make sure they’re worth it. Typically this is the type of thing I’d turn to Ikea for, but I really don’t like the look of what they have right now. Is this worth paying for? Other brands I should consider?

Thanks so much in advance!

Does anyone have one of those little toddler trampolines with the handlebars? I saw one on a list of “best toddler toys” that someone here posted and am intrigued…it is VERY snowy where I live and my 2.5-year-old could definitely use some indoor toys to get her energy out this winter. But it also takes up valuable floor real estate and I worry about buying something that won’t ever be used.

Similar to lawsuited’s comment — I have been meaning to thank whoever recommended Dr Jart’s color correcting face cream, which is sort of a combination sun screen and tinted moisturizer, but with a little more coverage than tinted moisturizer. I work from home, and it’s perfect for helping me feel a little more put together in the morning for school drop off, running errands, etc. Thanks, C-mom community!

I started using an okay to wake clock with my 18 month old this weekend based on comments here. I always thought they were intended for toddlers but after reading from one commenter that she used it for her 9 month old, I figured I’d give it a try. LO is waking up at 6:15-6:30am instead of 5:15-5:30am! It feels like magic! So grateful for this community – I learn a lot here.
