Our Favorite Summer Pajamas for Kids
Petite Plume
We love Petite Plume's Kid's Twill Pajama Set and Kid's Flannel Nightgown for their soft feel and timeless look. Petite Plume makes a shortie version of the twill pajama set and several charming sleeveless twill nightgowns.
The Kid's Twill Short Set is made with tightly woven cotton-modacrylic fabric that has a crisp, airy feel, reminiscent of clean cotton sheets drying on a line. It's offered in several patterns and striped colors, and it's finished with contrast piping and a sweet little pocket on the short-sleeved button top, just like the long-sleeved version. The shorts fit like boxers, and the top is pleasantly roomy. The shorts shrank a little in the wash, but we didn't miss the lost length. We found them to be true to size.

We also like the Twill Amelie Nightgown, which is just as nostalgic as its winter cousin, the flannel nightgown. It features the same smooth twill fabric as the shorts set, has sweet details like ruffle trim on the shoulders, and comes in several summery prints, such as sailboats, bumblebees, and stripes. Three buttons on the back placket require some assistance from a parent or caregiver — if your child prizes independence, they may be better off with the Girl's Twill Clara Nightgown. The least expensive children's nightgown in Petite Plume's top-dollar heirloom collection, this ruffly, white nightgown has cleverly hidden elastic in its top seam that allows kids to dress themselves with ease.
These pajamas are pricey, but all signs point to them earning hand-me-down status. Petite Plume's pajama sizing starts at 6/12 months, whereas most of our recommendations start at 2 years.

Omada Health IPO signals healthier market, avoids ‘down-round' trend
The IPO market is starting to feel healthier. Omada Health, a 14-year-old company providing virtual care for chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension between office visits, closed its first trading day on Friday at $23 a share, a 21% jump from the IPO price of $19. The IPO valued the company just above $1 billion (excluding employee options), a figure that's nearly identical to Omada's last private valuation of $1 billion set in its previous VC round. The debut is one of the first among recent IPOs that was not a so-called down-round. Many of the latest public listings, including Hinge, ServiceTitan, and Reddit, priced below their private market highs, though have faired well as public companies. For founder and CEO Sean Duffy, the successful public offering validates his decision to start a company that he believed the market desperately needed. In 2011, he dropped out of Harvard Medical School after realizing that chronic illness patients required more continuous support than the existing healthcare system delivered. Before the offering, he owned 4.1% of the company, according to Omada's offering document. Other significant shareholders included Revelation Partners (10.9%), US Venture Partners (9.9%), Andreessen Horowitz (9.6%), and FMR (9.3%). Duffy told TechCrunch that over his 14-year journey as a founder, he had many harrowing moments. 'I didn't think our series A was going to come together because we were working on this commercial deal that didn't materialize, and that spooked one investor,' he said.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW 'As a young business, something tries to kill you every month,' he continued. 'And then as the business grows, it turns into like every quarter or six months, year, two years.' One of the recent challenges for many digital health businesses is navigating the 'collapse' of the market post-COVID boom. Omada navigated the turbulent times by seeking new, rising markets. It recently expanded its offerings to include diet management support for GLP-1 patients.

Feds schedule open-mic month on ESA habitat conservation plans
The Fish and Wildlife Service is inviting fresh ideas for administering habitat conservation plans and other agreements intended to resolve Endangered Species Act issues. The agency is billing the move as a big opportunity for developers, loggers, the energy industry and environmental advocates to help update how the ESA works. A 30-day public comment period starting Monday will open up for consideration Section 10(a) of the landmark environmental law. The section authorizes the issuance of permits that allow for the unintentional killing or harming — called incidental take — of species listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA. Advertisement 'The Service is dedicated to strengthening the section 10(a) program to more effectively support conservation efforts while addressing the needs of landowners, industry and local communities — ultimately improving the program's overall efficiency and impact,' the agency stated Friday.
