 Thursday, August 6, 2009Crib Notes: Stuffed Animals and Band-Aids Don’t MixPutting bandages on your child’s favorite stuffed animal may seem like a good way to model first aid or prepare for a doctor’s visit. But test out a very small portion of the adhesive bandage on your furry friend before committing 100%. If you find it’s not removable, pull the bandage very taut and use a sharp razor blade to remove it with minimal mess or discoloration.

We are a group of colleagues, friends and working mothers who wanted to find a way to share our experiences as parents with others and to seek the advice of those who have encountered and successfully overcome some of the ordinary and not-so-ordinary challenges of working motherhood. Among ourselves we have 10 children: boys and girls, babies through school-agers, children who are adopted and not-adopted, have special needs and those who don’t, and each of whom is precious in their own right.
As professionals, our experiences range from child care to politics, writing to retail. In the interest of full disclosure, we all work for Bright Horizons, and some of us are beneficiaries of the company’s child care services. But this blog is meant to provide a community of support and discussion for all working mothers (fathers welcome too!), and you need no affiliation with Bright Horizons to be a part of the conversation.
We hope you enjoy and join the dialogue too.

lol - Was this learned the hard way?
You bet it was! I am happy to report that Curious George survived (and I have three clones I rotate in circulation in the event he didn't).
A fun and inexpensive gift idea for toddlers and preschoolers: Wrap up an assortment of band-aids, some kids just can't get enough of them! They also gain fine motor skills trying to open them with their little fingers.
@Anonymous, great idea. While you're at it, remember to buy some plain band-aids as a gift to yourself. I find it slightly more professional than sporting an Elmo bandage at work, which seems to be all we have around when I need a little first aid.
