I always forget about Uniqlo for affordable clothes for moms and kids, but that needs to change — we’ve loved all of the Heattech clothes we’ve gotten in the winter, and I’m intrigued by their new “airism” line. This simple jersey blazer looks great, and at $59 it’s a steal. It’s available in sizes XS-XL in black, navy, and gray. Uniqlo Soft Jersey Jacket

Hi gang — going back to work from maternity leave in 3.5 weeks, and thanks to the good advice of the hive here I’ve decided to ease in by starting part-time, 2.5 days/week, for the first month.
Help me remember: what should I try to do/pay attention to before I head back? I don’t mean house projects and the like — I mean things I should make sure are as buttoned up as possible before we descend into the craziness of three kids — 2 at daycare and 1 at school — combined with two working parents. So far all I can think of is making sure I have go-to outfits in my wardrobe and some meals on standby…
Can we talk about dentists? The pediatrician is recommending dental check ups starting at a year, and using flouride toothpaste at a year. My kiddo is 18 months old and I’m lucky if I get 15 seconds to brush her teeth, and she doesn’t know how to spit so I’m worried about flouride toothpaste. My dentist (who isn’t a children’s dentist, just a regular dentist) says he doesn’t do first visits until 2.5 years to 3 years old.
On the other hand, I’m hearing horror stories about toddlers with cavities that lead to infections because everyone assumes the dental pain is “teething.” Any insights would be appreciated! Also, do you use a children’s dentist or does everyone in the family go to the same regular dentist?
If you were building from scratch a fall/winter wardrobe for an infant, what would you buy and in what quantity? I realized that while I have a lot of footie pjs and short sleeve onesies, I don’t have much else in the 3-6 or 6-12 month range. She’ll be starting daycare in mid-September and we do laundry about 1x a week, so I know I’ll need more clothing on hand. Is 10-15 long-sleeve onesies and leggings too many or too few? Same with cardigans/sweaters? Some days she goes through 5 outfit changes and other days she manages to stay in the same onesie all day.
Thanks to everyone who posted stroller recommendations yesterday. Looking forward to trying them all out!
FYI for Kat. For a few days now, it’s been difficult to access this page on my phone (on Safari). I have to do some combination of clicking on the link and then refreshing. No problems with the main page or any other website.
I’m wondering about hormone changes when weaning. I’m in the process of reducing my pumping sessions at work now that my daughter is 1. She’s about to transition to the toddler room, so no more bottles. Problem? I feel like I’m losing my mind. In the last week, I’ve lost my cell phone and work badge. I am totally scatterbrained. I guess it could be from lack of sleep, but that’s nothing new. How did the hormonal changes from weaning/partial weaning make you all feel? I had a major thyroid problem when I was weaning my first so I don’t really know what “normal” weaning feels like!
Any blogs that you all use for weeknight recipes? I’m not the biggest fan of All Recipes and would love to find some new bookmarks for easy, healthy, fast meals that are tasty.
