I may be the only person on the planet who considers simple t-shirts the perfect pumping/nursing attire, but — especially when paired with a nursing camisole to cover your belly — an easy care, affordable, polished tee is exactly what you need. A friend was just singing the praises of this shirt as being the perfect “nice” t-shirt you can layer beneath suits, and I like that it’s down to only $25. It’s available in several different colors over at White House | Black Market. WHBM Soft Touch Scoop Neck Tee
Here’s a cotton/modal plus-size option.

Question for a close friend, who is in the very early stages (9 weeks) of her first pregnancy.
She had a ultrasound at her last appointment that showed something that *could* be a cyst near the baby. She has a follow-up appointment next week to confirm whether or not it is, in fact, a cyst. Apparently if it is, it could mean her pregnancy is “high-risk.” She and her husband are worried, and I was hoping for anecdata, positive or negative, from anyone who has gone through something similar. I figure better to have anecdata from this community than from googling, which may be the alternative!
I know it varies for everyone by a wide margin, but out of curiosity, how long did it take you to get pregnant after going off of hormonal birth control? Did you experience any physical or emotional side effects from stopping birth control?I am (hopefully) going off hormonal BC by the end of this year to start TTC after 10+ years on it, and I’m curious what others’ experiences were like.
How unrealistic am I to think that my dreams of being a life-long, world-wide traveler won’t be affected that much by having kids? My husband and I love to talk about how we’ll keep doing all the same things, traveling, etc. but will just bring the kids along or be totally OK leaving them in someone else’s care (grandparents, etc). Are we crazy? Can anyone confirm that they’ve done this successfully?
Anybody have the maxi-cosi pria 70? We have a subcompact suv, so looking for a smaller seat, and also am drawn to the claim of a cooling fabric for my sweaty, sweaty little man. Deciding between this and the Chicco Nextfit. Part of me thinks its silly to not just buy the top-rated carseat…
I think the answer is probably “because he’s a toddler,” but why is my toddler angry all the time?? Our formerly laid-back and smiley baby seems to be just always upset. About the dinner menu, his car seat, the dog eating the food he dropped on the floor, his toy not working the way he wants, whatever. It’s constant whining / fussy / crying for mama but I’m usually not able to fix whatever it is. He’s 20 months and has some words and signs but often not enough to tell me what exactly the issue is. I’m just exhausted by all the yelling and unhappiness and could really use some tips on how to cope.
Has anyone done something besides a crib for their baby? Our son was sleeping in a pack and play (still is) but I think he’s starting to feel a bit like a caged animal. I’m reluctant to move him to a crib because of some head banging behavior, and I also feel like the crib is kind of a waste since we have to get a real bed at some point (he is almost 10 months).
I was considering a mattress on the floor with maybe some of those mesh side rails, but just wanted to see if anyone had done anything like this. A real bed now off the floor seems kind of dangerous to me. He’s not really crawling yet but will be any day now, I’m sure.
Sorry for the immediate thread jack but I am looking for some new baby advice from the hive. I’m home on maternity leave and so far..my baby’s sleep habits are not great (I know very few babies actually have “good” sleep habits). He really sleeps for more than two hours straight at night and I have lots of trouble getting him to take naps anywhere but on me. Will things get easier?! I am going back to work in a month and I am a bit overwhelmed at the idea of being this sleep deprived day after day at work. On a related note, does anyone have any infant sleep books they would recommend? And on an unrelated note, any recommendation for nursing tanks? I got a few at Target but find them pretty uncomfortable. TIA!
