The demand for more qualified teachers was already there.

So when should you actually buy a nursing bra? Your breasts will often grow larger during pregnancy, but they'll change again once your milk comes in during the days after birth. That means the best time to buy nursing bras is when your baby is at least two weeks old, according to Chrisie Rosenthal, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant with the Lactation Network, a company connecting families with free lactation consultations.

The best way to figure out your size is to go to a maternity store and have an employee size you in person, Rosenthal said. If you can't do that, you can take your own measurements with a measuring tape at home. Most sellers provide a size chart to help you out.

"Teacher shortages will only continue to get worse until we fundamentally redesign our school staffing models," said Maddin. "We don't have just a teacher shortage problem. We have a workforce design problem."
'Then on this thread you have a husband you have a husband who has taken the initiative and sorted out a perfectly reasonable childcare solution and posters are saying he has been underhand and should have consulted his wife!'
In reality, said Goldhaber, there's not a single comprehensive national data set about teacher employment.
