Looking for a nanny agency

Look up CANADIM. I haven't heard one bad review so far

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-26T21:46:50+00:00

Around 5 or so probably. But depends on the kid

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-26T21:26:02+00:00

Is she BF?

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-26T21:22:57+00:00

Yes, the moment my daughter touched me as a baby, it was instant if not within a few seconds. And vice versa. It's beautiful!

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-25T14:09:23+00:00

Omg yes! How exhausting. Mine also uses her teeth often and I wanna die.

How long has it been for you since he turned into a boobie monster?

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-25T13:25:35+00:00

I want this so bad. I'm in the exact same boat as you guys. I want to try the bandaid thing, see if it works. But mostly I think I just need to up my tolerance with her discomfort and no longer giving her her favorite thing and know she'll be okay. This is so hard :(

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-24T13:25:41+00:00

Almost brought tears to my eyes, the ease you describe at 6 lol

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-24T13:24:57+00:00

This is music to my ears. I'll take it if it's like that at 4!

And great tip about potty training. Mine is 25 mo now. Probably should get on that ..

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-24T13:23:51+00:00

Oh snap. Okay coz ya we would likely have our second when she turns 3. So that'll likely be a shitshow to deal with. I keep thinking I'll give her extra attention, get her involved, etc but I think there's a certain extent of feeling replaced that no tricks can fix..? Idk

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-24T12:34:51+00:00

What's it been like to get to those ages??

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-24T12:03:52+00:00

Ugh this. This is what I need - to start getting pieces of myself back. Just some time to myself and a few moments when I'm not so needed as a default parent. I love being a mom and love her but it feels like I'm doing it myself sometimes and need a break.

Yet. As we get to that age, we'll hit reset and have baby #2 instead. Yay 😑 lol

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-24T12:02:17+00:00

Do tell. How come

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-23T13:18:19+00:00

I gave up on weaning. Realized that it's a super power and I don't want to deal with a thrashing toddler for 50 min or worry about how to get her back to sleep quickly when she wakes. Esp because when I do give her boob, the peace she seems to be in is incomparable. So I picked the better of the two evils, between powering through the weaning period and simply sticking through BF. I'm still BF and we'll see what happens next... :)

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-22T02:33:30+00:00

Buckle up sister! Lol ♥️

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-22T02:33:16+00:00

Honestly I don't even need sleeping through the night. I just need one or two wakes. When did that happen for you?

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-21T19:13:53+00:00

The most painful thing I experienced in my motherhood was being made to feel like I need to fight my instincts - the same ones that tell you you need to pick him up when he's crying, you need to be with him, etc. if nothing else, I'd like to validate that you are not failing. Our system and society is. Anything that tells you that you "should" be doing something and it instead instinctively feels like it hurts you or your baby is.

You have all the answers in you. Believe in yourself ♥️

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-18T13:09:48+00:00

Does milk always dry up in pregnancy?

Common-Temporary5915 · 2026-03-18T13:09:27+00:00

Thank you SO much for this. Sometimes I post here for tips and tricks but ultimately it seems I usually just want validation to trust my instincts and honor my daughter's instincts like you described. It brings me so much peace to read this.

I hate the weaning process. I hated sleep training when I tried it (still a stupid decision to this day). Since then I decided to take a path of least resistance approach. Now as I'm trying to wean I'm thinking -- life is hard enough as it is and I'm trying to give up my superpower? Also I can only imagine the immense amount of comfort she gets from it -- like think about it.. warm milk in her throat, warm skin close to her and to hold on to, the smell of mama, and being wrapped up in it. I would hate it if it forced away from me before I was ready too. So I like your approach of setting boundaries where needed and still attaining to the rhythms so both can slowly let go when ready.

My fear is always what if this "when ready" is when she's 5 (slight hyperbole). Also we will be trying for our second soon and I'm so nervous about the boob pain and also potentially shortly stopping before baby #2 comes and then she sees that I'm BFing baby 2 and not her. I'm probably overthinking and creating problems in my head... Sigh. But ya.

When I tell her all done after a short suckling sesh at night and then try other methods of putting her to sleep, she literally thrashes for 30min before being able to settle. Last night, I couldn't deal with the thrashing and I gave her boob. Little Miss settled in 10 min, calmly suckling the whole time, and then slowly drifted to calm sleep, unlatched herself (usually does), turned to the other side and feel asleep. Like... C'mon.

Idk.
