I am a very visual person, so for me when things are out of sight they are truly out of mind. If I have any hope of doing something or wearing something, it has to be right in front of my face. Knowing this is one of my mental limitations, I bought an open jewelry organizer like this one to display in my bedroom. It keeps all of my favorite jewelry out in the open right where I can see it. Doing this has made me change my jewelry so much more frequently than if it were hidden away in a box. Also, I have a few delicate necklaces, and having them hang on the bar keeps them from getting tangled. This organizer is $48.99 on Overstock.com with free shipping.

Hi all – how do you get your toddler back to their normal self after a holiday? Granted, son is only 2, so his ‘normal self’ is constantly changing – but his latest new thing is wanting to nurse at all times, forever, like 4 hours non-stop. I tried to plan ahead for any post-travel blues by having a couple days of pure chill-with-baby time in between visiting grandparents and going back to daycare, but maybe those days gave him a taste for that much time together? (I love him, but have no desire to quit my job to enable this.) He just saw the dentist (unrelatedly), and it’s not teething. I know that weaning is the obvious solution to this, but I’d been operating so long under the assumption that he’d wean on his own, especially since I’ve never exclusively nursed and he’s always been a good eater and substituted with more food happily when I’ve been gone overnight. I’m just crunchy enough to actually let him nurse for a few hours while I read a book, etc., but this is obvious madness. Is there any way to get him back to the previous routine (20 minutes before work, 20 minutes after, 20 minutes at night) or do I just need to wear turtlenecks and let him scream?
How did you deal with pregnancy exhaustion in BigLaw? By 5:30 or so I’m really dragging these days. Any advice?
I feel so seen/personally attacked by this article. https://www.thecut.com/2019/01/why-do-new-moms-want-to-ignore-advice-from-seasoned-moms.html
I’m working from home today and discovered that our new-ish nanny doesn’t wash her hands before prepping the baby’s food. My husband says I’m a bit of a control freak, so I’m trying not to micro-manage. I think she’s already kind of uncomfortable with me working at home so I don’t want her to feel like I’m spying on her and trying to “catch” her doing something wrong. But also…eww, right? Would you say something?
I’m the poster who asked yesterday about going from 0 to 1 to 1 to 2. Just wanted to thank everyone for their candid responses!
My 3 1/2 year old is scared of the dark. Before, bedtime was easy. Stories and we could leave the room. He would read or play for awhile and then fall asleep on his own. Now, he is scared to be in his room alone. He has always slept with a lamp on. Now, even if we leave the overhead light on, he will be too upset to sleep. He is fighting falling asleep bc he is scared. WeI have tried several things, including staying with him till he falls asleep. When I do so, all that happens is he wakes up alone and is still upset. I have run out of ideas. We have no problems with nap times. Any suggestions?
Kiddo has straight and very fine hair. We’re ready to move beyond Aveeno Baby shampoo/wash combo. What shampoo/conditioner recommendations do you suggest?
For those who have managed to do the breastfeeding and pumping at work thing, what is/was your pumping schedule like? I’ve been pumping whenever the baby takes a bottle, which is around 9:30, 11:30, 2:00, 4:30 — and it’s wearing me out. Am I doing this wrong somehow? Help!
I am about to start a new job. My employer (Fortune 100 company) requires you to be there 1 year before you can be eligible for their very generous paid leave (20 weeks). There’s also short term disability leave (6 or 8 weeks depending on method of delivery) on top of that. Due to a variety of factors (my age, husband’s job, age gap btw kid 1 (just turned 4) and kid to be) I want to have a second child sooner rather than later. If I’m 2-3 months short of the 1 year mark would short term disability cover my leave? Has anyone been successful at getting fully paid leave from their employer before 1 year on the job (assuming that’s your company’s policy)? I’m not pregnant yet but plan to start trying soon.
Hi all – can anyone offer me encouragement for a low-lying placenta and bleeding? I rushed to the doctors yesterday at 13 weeks pregnant due to a massive, sudden, bleed. No cramps. They did an ultrasound and baby was fine. They just said my placenta attached low (I don’t think it’s covering the cervix) and that hopefully it moves up with time. Bleeding has stopped for now. Their advice was pelvic rest, no exercise, and to “take it easy.” They know I have a toddler and they didn’t tell me not to lift her or anything.
Basically im just struggling to find information on whether I’ll continue to get bleeds, if I’m more at a risk of miscarriage, etc… I have another ultrasound next Friday to check on things again. I just didn’t have my wits about me yesterday to ask the right questions.
Our heater broke!!! Will take a few weeks to repair it. Ideas on how to keep baby warm at night? I don’t like space heaters bc of safety hazard. I was thinking of using a fleece bunting. I live in the south so it’s not terribly cold, but baby has been waking up earlier than usual and my guess is that it is bc he is cold.
I’m a first time mom, have a 3 week old, and I’m trying to start pumping to build a supply but it’s fairly overwhelming! For those of you who breastfed and pumped, how did you manage to find the time and also keep the kiddo fed? Right now I can manage a good pumping in the morning which is supposed to be there best time but with cluster feeding and its unpredictability, I can’t seem to add any other pumping sessions. Will it get easier to do this? I’m getting paranoid about socking in milk even at this stage. Going back to work with the crazy schedule I have in consulting worries me too since we really don’t want to use formula.
also – your milk changes as your baby ages. Baby is getting the type of milk he/she needs now at 3 wks old. That milk is going to be different than what you produce when baby is 6 months old. This fact might relieve you from feeling like you should be building a stash now.
