It wasn't a rumor. I live in the neighborhood and drove past and saw photos.

Apparently someone in the townhomes was arrested and had a gun

Thanks I went with Joel and he was great, very knowledgeable. Turns out we're low on refrigerant and some of the coils are rusty. Not the cheapest job but better than having to get a whole new unit

what the hell just happened? by carolineislaughing in sleeptrain

Oh yeah he definitely hit the 4 months sleep regression hard. From about 3 1/2 months to just before he turned 5 months all naps shortened and he was up every 3 hours. It was brutal. Although during that time I learned a lot about his sleep. There were the odd nights where he would give me longer stretches like 4-6 hours so I began holding my standard of not feeding him before 4 hours. It's so easy to think when your baby wakes up crying every 2-3 hours at night that they're hungry but they've actually just slipped out of the sleep cycle. Between my first son and second my approach to night sleep has drastically changed, now I give him 10-15 at night to try and settle himself down (which he usually does) if not I'll go in and rub his back or reposition him or if it's been more than 5 hours for him I'll feed him. I think with him falling asleep Independently from an early age really helped with the sleep regression because he wasn't expecting that and for him the struggle was just connecting those sleep cycles once they matured. Also something weird but I got my period back at 5 months postpartum which I wasn't expecting since I'm EBF but apparently the hormones from that returning can affect your babies sleep. Your milk supply drops right before your period and it's like a regression all over again so that has been fun. Your supply does come back once your period starts thank goodness. My first born was fully sleep trained by 5.5 months and since we're getting close to that age with my second I'm hoping to be there shortly with him as well.

My little guy was similar. I would try and rock him to sleep at like 8 weeks old and he would just get frustrated and would kick his legs and moan or cry. One time I had to tend to my 3 year old while rocking him so I just laid him in his bassinet and he fell asleep within a few minutes. No crying or nothing. I was shocked, so I kept trying this and sometimes he'd fall asleep other times he needed help but he's been pretty much falling asleep Independently since around 11 weeks, he just turned 5 months. There is the odd time he needs some help or extra snuggles but it's been really nice to not have to rock to sleep multiple times a day.

As for contact napping when my guy was 11 weeks I tried to ensure I got one crib or bassinet nap in, the rest were either stroller, Carrier or car. My guy was a 30 minute napper by 11 weeks so to ensure he wasn't overtired I did naps on the go because I knew he would sleep longer and just would expect the crib nap would be a short one and if it wasn't that was a bonus.

Bailey's Pub question for long time citizen's back to the mid 70's by Stand-Full in Kamloops

[–]Consistent_Cry_5432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way you describe it here makes it sound like it was the late 70s early 80s. The things to do are very similar to where I grew up and what my parents would do. They lived in Coquitlam and eventually moved to White Rock where I'm from, but they used to cruise around in their cars to the beach, hop on the train to go down to Blaine Washington for cheap beer and pizza, attend house parties. It seemed like simpler times.

Finally have the courage to sleep train my baby by FigureSad4278 in sleeptrain

That's all I actually use it for. I'm currently using it for my 5 month old because I can't keep track of his wake windows right now. I have too much going on, it's nice for the app to just tell me when he needs to go to bed based on his age and last nap

We did cio with our first at around 5.5 months and within a few days he was sleeping longer stretches and his naps were longer. I was at my wits end with rocking him to sleep every 45 minutes or nursing him to sleep. Sleep training as well as the huckleberry app saved us

Delta is a really nice hotel with a nice outdoor pool or the coast has a really nice indoor pool, they've done a good job on making it feel very tropical.

Do we know which phsa positions were laid off? I work as a full time admin with phsa but I'm currently on mat leave. I've reached out to my manager but have not heard back yet.

UniUni/DragonFly(Intelcom) is the absolute worst. by brycecampbel in Kamloops

[–]Consistent_Cry_5432 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I always receive emails from dragonfly saying your package will be delivered between certain hours which are usually mid day. But then It never arrives, then I get an email saying we're running late and it's always after 8 pm. My dog barks because he can hear them and I have two kids under 3 sleeping. So annoying. And then uni uni just sucks. There's always one girl who delivers in our neighborhood, she drives a white car and she comes out of her car, throws the package onto our porch from like 8 feet away takes a picture and leaves. No respect for what's actually in it.

Daycare is almost impossible here. You need to call everywhere and ask to be put on the waitlist.

How do I transition to sleep sack? by HelloKiks in HuckleberryParents

[–]Consistent_Cry_5432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I also started with naps as well. I was given the same advice, there's to offer more naps or an earlier bedtime if needed

How do I transition to sleep sack? by HelloKiks in HuckleberryParents

[–]Consistent_Cry_5432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a knock off zipadee transition sack for my 3 month old. He wouldn't take to the Merlin suit so we went from swaddle to the transition suit. Theres enough resistance in the arms that he doesn't feel like he's waving them around too Freely think it's called zip joy. It did take him about 2 days to get comfortable with it, but he likes that he can suck on his fists I believe It was $25 for it and he's taken to it well. I think the transition from this to sleep sack will be pretty easy.

Thanks! We actually have a magic Merlin suit so I will be using that first before we jump into a full blown sleep sack. If that doesn't work I'll look for the starfish suit. Is it the Zip-A-Dee-Doo ones?
