So when should you actually buy a nursing bra? Your breasts will often grow larger during pregnancy, but they’ll change again once your milk comes in during the days after birth. That means the best time to buy nursing bras is when your baby is at least two weeks old, according to Chrisie Rosenthal, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with the Lactation Network, a company connecting families with free lactation consultations.
As we were driving out of the cemetery, we heard on the radio that Liverpool Football Club had opened up Anfield for people to pay their respects.
We agreed that we’d like to go and place flowers on the spot where Sarah and Vicki had always stood to watch Liverpool play.
All of the reported cases of illness have stemmed from powdered formula produced in Abbott Nutrition’s facility in Sturgis, Michigan. The company has found evidence of Cronobacter sakazakii in that facility, but not Salmonella Newport, though the investigation is ongoing, according to the FDA.
Here’s how to tell if your baby formula has been recalled. Abbott said all formula products are tested for bacteria before being released, and that retained samples of the recalled formula batches have tested negative for Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella.

Beyond the TikTok viral videos and the agonizing news headlines, there seemed to be enough evidence to express real concern about a looming tsunami of teacher shortages and resignations threatening to disrupt the school year even further than the numerous waves of coronavirus variants already had.
It’s tricky because, despite all its problems, teaching can also be rewarding. When I asked the teachers about their reasons to stay, all of them replied with their own version of, “I don’t think I will find a more meaningful job than this one” (as Austin teacher J.J. put it in an email).
“Teacher resignations pose an incredible challenge to public schools,” said Anne Claire Tejtel Nornhold, a former middle school teacher who’s now in charge of implementing a new classroom structure at Baltimore City Schools, known as Opportunity Culture, in an effort to increase teacher retention.
Over time, as a country, and particularly at the state level, we’ve also tightened up the rules for entering the teaching profession, according to Chad Aldeman, policy director of Edunomics, a center at Georgetown University focused on the study of education finance. “It’s been all with good intentions, raising the bar to become a teacher,” Aldeman said over email. “But that means there are more subspecialty areas to earn licenses, more requirements to become a teacher than there used to be.”
Now the Great Resignation has many fearing a mass exodus out of the teaching ranks. Experts argue, however, that there isn’t yet empirical evidence that teachers are quitting in record numbers. Still, even the most skeptical admit that the possibility of seeing an unprecedented wave of teacher resignations before this school year ends or the next one starts has never felt more real. And the potential consequences for students, schools, families and the country as a whole couldn’t be more serious.
In reality, said Goldhaber, there’s not a single comprehensive national data set about teacher employment. Besides surveys from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the other source of the best information about teacher attrition is states’ administrative databases. “We would only know if people are resigning en masse in the ’21-’22 school year next fall,” he said over Zoom.
I’ve always had this feeling – even now – that I should have insisted a doctor was brought to see Sarah.
She should not have been as warm as she was, especially as it was now after nine o’clock at night – more than six hours after the horrific events at the game had unfolded.
“People are ignoring the news that is making headlines already,” said J.J., another middle school teacher from Austin, who’s been teaching Spanish at the high school and middle school levels since 2006 and recently began to consider leaving the profession. (She too asked that CNET withhold her full name.) “Teacher burnout has become even more real since the pandemic began.”

Kindred Bravely maternity products aren’t cheap, but in my experience they’re worth the investment. This combo nursing and pumping bra was my go-to during an intense time of triple-feeding in order to increase my supply (for the uninitiated, that’s a grueling process of nursing/pumping/hand-expressing all day and night). It’s easy to throw on over your head without any clasps, and the hooks to access the layer for pumping and then nursing were easy to use — a major benefit for nighttime feeding and nursing sessions. The pumping portion holds the flanges in place so you can pump hands-free. Despite the extra layer of fabric for pumping, this bra was more comfortable and less lumpy under my clothes than other pumping bras I tried. Kindred Bravely also offers a similar, non-sports bra option, the Sublime Hands-free Pumping & Nursing Bra.
