That's not even factoring in the strangeness of pandemic teaching, from Zoom lessons to ever-shifting health guidelines, which has taken a toll. "I don't know how much longer we will have teachers who will put up with the pressures coming from all different angles," a middle school teacher from Austin, Texas, told CNET's Antonio Ruiz-Camacho. In a feature story this week, Ruiz-Camacho digs into how the teaching profession can hold it together and maybe not get rocked by the Great Resignation that's swept through other fields.

Giving birth and breastfeeding with COVID: Can COVID pass through breast milk? According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, you most likely won't need to change your birth plan if you test positive for COVID-19 before delivery, but talk with your OB-GYN or provider. Having COVID-19 also doesn't necessarily mean your doctor will recommend a c-section.

Really, the point here is to register for more burp clothes than you ever could have imagined. Our baby is a frequent spitter, and we have burp clothes strewn around the house at all times. These Hanna Andersson ones are nice and soft, and slightly larger than the Burt's Bees ones that I had on my registry, for about the same price.

Teaching is hard work. Don't believe me? You try keeping the attention of two dozen or more kids -- second graders, high school sophomores, doesn't matter -- and guiding them through the lesson plans you crafted and refined, through five or six classes a day, without much real break time, working pretty much solo. Oh yeah: The pay's lousy.

The Great Resignation Hasn't Hit School Teachers Yet. Here's Why It Still Might The pandemic may be the last straw for a profession mired in stagnant pay, compounding demands and endemic burnout. The situation has some people asking if the field of teaching needs a reset.

Magnificent Baby

If you take one piece of advice from this list, make it this: Invest in as many magnetic onesies as your budget allows. These are pricey, but in my experience, totally worth it. No zippers, no snaps - just little magnetic buttons that let you quickly and easily open and close your baby's PJs, perfect for those bleary-eyed middle-of-the-night changes. The fabric has a nice soft, almost silky feel, and there are lots of cute patterns to choose from. (My baby's Pop-pop also loves them, as they're easy to operate even with arthritic hands.) 

But the pandemic, like your growing belly, is changing by the day. It's hard to keep on top of the current booster guidance, as well as the emergence of new subvariants like omicron BA.2. (This is on top of other pregnancy news and guidance, including what foods you should avoid.)

Can you guys stop painting her out to be an amazing mom?' Alabama said online last May. 'Did your moms ask to see you on Mother's Day [because] mine didn't? I'm done keeping it a secret, reality shows.'

Some research shows that high fever, during the first trimester especially, could cause problems. If you develop a fever from COVID-19, your doctor may recommend you take acetaminophen or a fever-reducing medication. 

Take care of yourself and stay relaxed, first of all. While it's true COVID-19 does cause more severe disease in people who are pregnant compared to people of the same age who aren't, the risk of severe illness is still low overall, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Can COVID-19 pass through breast milk? It isn't likely, say the CDC and ACOG. But the ACOG recommends letting someone who isn't sick bottle feed your baby your breast milk, to avoid passing the infection to the infant.

Love To Dream

We brought our baby girl home from the hospital armed with several Halo sleepsack swaddles and swaddle blankets, only for her to either break out or generally hate all of them. She seemed to want to sleep with her hands up, so I ordered a Love to Dream swaddle. She immediately seemed more comfortable at nap time, and we stuck with these until she was ready to transition out (as you size up there are "transition" options that let you zip off the sleeves). These swaddles also offer the added bonus of making your little one look like a flying squirrel.
