As Russia’s defence ministry said its forces were ‘tightening the noose’ around the city, a woman called Svitlana gave a harrowing account of her flight from the city – and the horrors faced by those who have chosen, or been forced, to stay.
‘A few are: Previous breast surgery, imbalance of crucial hormones, thyroid problems, PCOS, diabetes, depression and/or anxiety, prescription drugs, chemotherapy, insufficient glandular tissue, inefficient latch, premature birth. The list goes on.
‘For those that have ever glanced at a woman feeding a newborn with a bottle and questioned it in their head, there are several reasons why mums might not be able to breast feed besides being in intensive care.
Ukrainian MP Dmytro Gorin, whose parents are trapped in the city, said the Russians have dropped hundreds of bombs on the city and that conditions are medieval, adding: ‘People are out of food and, more importantly, out of water.’
Shelling has hampered efforts to rescue hundreds of civilians, including women and children, who are believed trapped in the bombed ruins of the Drama Theatre, destroyed by a Russian air strike on Wednesday despite the word ‘Children’ being clearly written on the square outside to alert pilots.
Officials say 2,500 have perished since Russian forces poured across the Ukrainian border on February 24. About 35,000 people are believed to have escaped in recent days, many on foot and under Russian fire, but 300,000 remain.
I bought that white jacket when I was about 30 because I suddenly thought, this is ridiculous, I’ve got to sometimes buy new clothes.
The first time I wore the jacket was for the wrap party of the TV series I’d been doing. A colleague fell over and cut her wrist on a glass and I took her to hospital. She was fine, but there was a lot of blood and my jacket was ruined. I took that incident as a sign that I shouldn’t have bought it.
It was a stretch for us at the time. Obviously, it is worth a lot more now, but I have no idea how much. I don’t even want to think about it. It’s the best money decision I have ever made because it has meant my husband and I have had a secure family home in which to bring up our kids.
We’ll probably end up being taken out of there feet first.
When you start shopping for a car seat, it’s easy to get overwhelmed at first. There are dozens upon dozens to choose from and a handful of different types — infant, convertible, slim-fit, all-in-one, booster and beyond. Where do you even start?
The upholstered and cushioned portion of the Coral XP’s seat can be detached with the push of a button and lifted out of the outer carrier shell by the large straps on the sides. A heavy-duty shoulder belt with quick release clips is included and is intended to be worn cross-body. The inner carrier weighs about 5 pounds, so carrying your baby this way is pretty comfortable. This method is best used for newborns, but I was able to carry my 1-year-old daughter for a few minutes before my back and shoulder started aching. This feature definitely would have come in handy when she was younger, especially for the frequent visits to her doctor on the second floor of an elevator-less medical building.
The modern car seat landscape is indeed overwhelming for the uninitiated, but the wealth of choices out there means there’s a car seat for just about every need. Once you get an idea of what’s available and narrow down the best car seats for what you want, you’ll be able to choose the perfect seat for your little one. To help you on your car seat journey, I rotated my kids’ butts through eight of the best seats available today. Keep reading to find out which ones should be on your radar.
“There are many aspects of a car seat system that relate to safety,” says Herring. “The cover or padding on a car seat must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards that relate to flame retardancy. This means it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning. A load leg limits the downward rotation in a collision and acts to help the car seat absorb crash impacts to reduce the forces that the child might experience in a crash. An anti-rebound bar is also a feature on some car seats that acts to help reduce motion of a rear-facing seat in a crash.”
The convertible seat accommodates children ranging in weight from 5 pounds all the way up to 100 pounds through its three convertible modes: rear-facing, forward-facing and high-back booster mode. The DriveOn Three-in-One’s LATCH system straps are nothing fancy, with simple clip-style hooks instead of button-release connectors, but they work. The lower anchor strap is easy to tighten and the low profile of the buckle on the tether strap makes it easy to pass underneath a headrest and secure it to the tether anchor.
