Adding whimsy to strollers (using bags, seat liners & more) is having a moment!

CHAIR FOR LIFE

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH STOKKE

This classic high chair grows with baby, comes in tons of colors & lasts forever—literally.

From first feeds to family dinners, the Tripp Trapp Chair is a longtime favorite because it’s easy to clean & gives little ones a seat right at the table. Plus, it has a dishwasher-safe tray & converts into a chair for big kids & grownups, too.

LAST WEEK'S POLL RESULTS

Here’s what no one tells you about returning to work after a baby.

The topic you brought up the most was pumping at work (& the fact it can feel like its own full-time job)...the mental load of scheduling, logistics, supply drops & hauling equipment came up more than anything else. Several called out coworkers & employers specifically: "no one cares about your pumping schedule." (We thought these photos giving inside looks at America’s lactation rooms were so interesting.) 

From knowing your rights to cleaning pump parts, we have advice.
