When I was little, I'd stand on a kitchen chair by the counter as my father poured flour into the mixer. I stopped baking during those early parenting years because I was living with undiagnosed multiple sclerosis (MS). When my younger son was a toddler, I couldn't stand long enough to cook dinner, let alone bake. AdvertisementAs my legs begged for rest, I'd slowly sink downward into a sitting position until I reached the kitchen floor. By the time my second son was born, I'd already exhausted doctors in every specialty without receiving a diagnosis.

Every year, starting in early fall, photo editors at The New York Times begin sifting through the year’s work in an effort to pick out the most startling, most moving, most memorable pictures. But 2022 undoubtedly belongs to the war in Ukraine, a conflict now settling into a worryingly predictable rhythm. Erin Schaff/The New York Times “When you’re standing on the ground, you can’t visualize the scope of the destruction. Jim Huylebroek for The New York Times Kyiv, Ukraine, Feb. 25. We see the same images over and over, and it’s really hard to make anything different.” Kyiv, Ukraine, Feb 26.

☆ These Parents Use Baby Monitors to Track Older Children—Even Teens
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-17 | by ( Julie Jargon | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

The desire to check on your baby at night is natural, and baby monitors allow parents to do so without having to tiptoe into the nursery and risk waking their infant. But what about watching an 8-year-old sleep? Or listening in on a teenager? While many parents say that’s a violation of the child’s privacy, there is another camp of those who admit that they still monitor their kids’ bedrooms way beyond infancy and toddlerhood.

Some 83 percent of babies in the United States start out on breast milk, but by 6 months, just 56 percent are breastfed — and at that stage, only a quarter drink breast milk exclusively, as the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends. To find out what it takes to breastfeed a baby, The New York Times followed four mothers for a day as they nursed, pumped and supplemented their milk with formula. Dr. Ma returned to work four weeks after her oldest daughter’s birth and two weeks after her second arrived. While performing long operations, she leaked breast milk under her surgical gown. Now her hours are more reasonable, and she has an office with a door that locks — but Dr. Ma still feels relentless pressure to keep up.
