Our collection of Thermos bottles gets year-round usage. In the summer, we use them to keep milk and water cold on hot days, particularly if we’re doing something like going to a museum or some other longish outing. In the winter, though, they shine as well because with the occasional hot cocoa, as well as all the broth they can drink when they’re sick. (I also make a concoction we call “sick tea” — hot water with honey and lemon — which H can finally have now that he’s over a year.) Because both of my boys are still so small, nothing is piping hot — rather, I stir everything with an ice cube until it comes down to a lukewarm temperature. The Thermos comes in because it keeps it that wonderful lukewarm temperature, even if my boys get distracted by something shiny and forget about it for a while. ANYWAY: this Thermos bottle is Harry’s; you can get one for yourself at Amazon for $17ish (eligible for Prime). THERMOS FOOGO Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel 10-Ounce Straw Bottle

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?
Any books or other recommendations for the SHARING and IT’S MINE issue between a 2.5 year old boy and his 11-month old brother (and who they will become over the next year or ten)? We were both only children and have no idea how to handle this and it has suddenly become overwhelming.
Thanks!
So I was just reading the post from last week on diaper bags, and was wondering…does anyone here not give their kid snacks? My in-laws just give their kids 4 meals a day, I think, and rarely snacks (other than breastmilk/formula), and I was thinking about doing the same. Is this crazy? Has anyone else tried it?
Keep your fingers crossed for me. I just got out of an interview to do the accounting version of going in house. I’d work less and get paid more…. Whew. Glad that’s over. Now we wait.
Can anyone recommend a favorite nursing tank available on Amazon? I want to send a care package to my stepsister. TIA!
FYI great sale on rosie pope maternity clothing on gilt today
Moms with nannies- do you ever feel guilty that the baby seems more attached to the nanny? Or that she is better at taking care of your child than you?
Point of reference- I work FT and have a live-in nanny. We love her. She is awesome! But lately I feel like my 10 month old baby has gotten TOO used to her. Are these normal feelings to have? TIA!
Guys, I have a PSA. I was at Costco this weekend and took a chance on a pair of $15 skinny ponte pants with pockets, zipper, etc. (so, work-appropriate for my office). WOW. They’re amazing! The rise is higher — not super-duper high, but not muffin-top-inducing, either. Perfect for my post-baby pooch, and at $15 I need to go back and buy more. You’re welcome :)
Advice re: grandparents?
My baby (nine months) does not like her grandpa, my dad. She loves my mom, is friendly (smiles and interacting) with strangers, but my dad just makes her cry. Very early on I think he held her kind of funny (not super supportive, and I think she was uncomfortable) but it’s been six months since that happened, and I can’t think of what’s going on. She basically *never* cries but sometimes she cries when he just talks to her, even if I’m holding her. He loves kids and is very good with them, generally, so I’m just at a loss. Of course it hurts his feelings, too. Any idea what should we do?
