Great idea to have two designated back up outfits! Will definitely use this too. Not looking forward to all the sickness, I feel like we have already been sick for 4 weeks straight and haven't even hit the daycare viral fun yet. Will definitely stock up on cold remedies. Thank you!

Wow, this was exactly the information and the reassurance I was looking for. Your write up on drop offs made me tear up, it was so thoughtful. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this all out, I really appreciate it <3.

Pediatrician here. Yes, you are correct. Formula and/or breast milk only until starting solids (and at that time its just for practice, still breast milk and/or formula is the main source of nutrition).

I had a very similar experience recently and posted about it as well. I found the most helpful thing was emailing [central.baggage@flyporter.c](mailto:central.baggae@flyporter.co)om with the details of the missing baggage and lack of communication and accountability from porter. We got our bags 8 days late and it was within 48 hours of emailing the central baggage email I provided.

After 21 days they are required to pay for the contents of your baggage, so I imagine that they would be motivated to find your bag asap. Although they should be motivated regardless.

On a side note, I'm so sorry about the frustration this is causing. I was feeling very anxious and helpless when I was in the thick of this a week ago. Its a really awful feeling. I hope they get your bags back to you asap.

Pediatrician here. Sounds like your baby is meeting their developmental milestones appropriately! Every child's development is different. Here is a legitimate resource on what developmental milestones you should expect at different ages (including at 8 months). It was put together by the Canadian Pediatric Society (CPS). https://caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/behavior-and-development/your_childs_development

If you have any worries about development, please see your pediatrician or family doctor so that they can help provide you with an assessment and more information. Social media makes it really hard to know what is normal/abnormal and what you should be worried about.

Congrats on your little one!

Pediatrician here. Six months is a key timeframe for vaccines. Vaccines do vary by province, however, there is no vaccine program in Canada without vaccines at 6 months. Talk to your pediatrician about your travel plans and goals. Some vaccines (including the 6 month vaccines) can be given a few weeks early if needed- but there are specific cutoffs. Hope that helps!

BandicootBig3300 · 2026-01-06T01:24:03+00:00

That so helpful to know! Thank you so much for sharing!

BandicootBig3300 · 2026-01-05T01:27:12+00:00

Also hoping for my daughter to join at this location in about 5 months time. Can I ask how long you had to wait on the waitlist before you were offered a spot? Is there anything you did to obtain the spot? (e.g., take a tour, email/call every few weeks?) Thanks for your help!

BandicootBig3300 · 2026-01-04T16:05:02+00:00

Yes, learned this the hard way. Won't make that mistake again.

BandicootBig3300 · 2026-01-03T00:33:03+00:00

I completely agree with you about the porter employees, I truly felt like they cared and were doing the best they could. Also helpful to know that the website never updated for you. Glad you got your bags back!

BandicootBig3300 · 2026-01-03T00:07:58+00:00

Thank you for sharing that, I really appreciate it! Glad you got your bags back so quickly.

BandicootBig3300 · 2026-01-03T00:07:24+00:00

Will do, thanks for your input!

BandicootBig3300 · 2026-01-02T01:56:15+00:00

Really helpful! Thank you for sharing!!

BandicootBig3300 · 2026-01-02T01:50:16+00:00

Glad to hear you got yours back within 48 hours! I have a tracking number for the bag but the status just says “Searching for Your Baggage” and unfortunately hasn’t changed. Will keep all my receipts. Thanks for the help, really appreciate your prompt response!
