I am generally a big fan of Three Dots, and this washable blazer looks like that great hybrid between a cardigan and blazer, and should be friendly in pregnancy, while nursing, and beyond. It’s available in sizes XS-XL at Bloomingdale’s for $238. Three Dots Open Front Blazer
Psst: here’s a similar, budget-friendly option in red, and a plus-size option.

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?
I had a fisher price cradle n swing (snug a bunny) and it was great. I intentionally did not get a rock n play, although I know a lot of people like them.
We’re going to be having another child after being out of the baby gear loop for a while, so I’m wondering what’s new. I know there are a lot of first time moms out there (which is when I was most familiar with current baby gear options), so I’m hoping people can share their favorite items.
We have pack-and-play, bouncer, and ergo.
We plan to get a swing. Fisher Price used to make the best one – still true?
I’ve been hearing about a rock-and-play bassinet that seems popular. There seems to be a couple of versions – which is best? How long can baby use it?
Any other great products that have come out in the last ~5 years?
Any pumping/BFing moms want to share when they started weaning ? Or stopped pumping (if that’s different)?
I’ve been BFing/Pumping for almost 7 months (baby came early, and is now 5 months adjusted). We introduced formula 2 months ago to supplement the BMilk. She’s been eating rice cereal for about a month (now 2x per day), and the switch really flipped this past week with the whole eating thing. I’m sure in the next month we will be stepping it up with the solids. I’m thinking about going down to nursing first thing in the morning and at night, and pump any excess then, but step away from pumping at work, and am looking for some support/advice. It seems most of my google results “demand” I breastfeed exclusively for 9 months to a year…
If you and your husband both had the day off on Columbus Day, but your 5 month old baby’s day care was open, what would you do with your day? If the baby goes to day care she must be dropped off by 9am, but can be picked up any time.
