200901140642.jpgWhile searching far, wide and near for today’s roundup of links I’ve been reminded of the terrible stress of putting your kid in daycare for the first time.  There is a universal maternal (and paternal!) tension around this topic.  After the jump is a personal recommendation for my peeps in Brooklyn.  Also: exploring the fear of getting separated from your kids on the subway, a new tool for measuring the alcohol content in your breast milk, and listen sister – let’s make sure you’re not smearing one of the eleven worst facial moisturizers on your mug, OK?

Putting Junior into daycare is one of the hardest steps to take as a new mom.  One message board based in Brooklyn is looking to give you advice, written by parents, for parents.  My own recommendation for a great new place for the Brooklyn Babies is here, but make sure to explore the whole board for a lot of great resources on many different topics. [Park Slope Parents]

Wondering where to spend your green in the interest ofbeinggreen in NYC? Check out this guide to Eco-Friendly New York. [Gridskipper]

What’s your plan when you get separated from your kids on the subway?  Help a mama out.  [Pistols and Popcorn]

Go look in the cabinet and double check that your moisturizer isn't on this list -The eleven worst facial moisturizers.   [Shine!]

Are you full of guilt about breast-feeding after that glass of wine with dinner?  What about after a few cocktails at the birthday party?  A new product will help measure how much alcohol is being passed through your breast milk. [Milkscreen Moms]

And if serving your baby breast milk has become too mundane, have you ever considered giving them a momsicle? Yes, that's a popsicle made from breast milk. While I want to mock, I'm guessing it's great for teething babies. Would you, could you, momsicle? [Mother 2 Mother]
