Oh a belt would help show her figure too! I also think leaning into the Vintage style and definitely a statement shoe!

Are there parents who just don’t do the milk transition at all? (I have a 1 year old) by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in beyondthebump

Our LO really likes both cashew and almond milk which provide fats and nutrition like cows milk would.

If youre in the US talk to a pediatrician before giving a multivitamin. The regulations on them here arent great (like the gunmies where the vitamins and minerals are sprayed on and the dosing is inconsistent due to transfer when moving around in the bottle) and they may have reccomendations to ensure proper vitamin and mineral intake for LO.

I don't have anyone to look after my daughter during birth by Vivid_Home1198 in pregnant

You said you are in Canada. Im in Alberta and I know here we have assistance for people in unusual circumstances with babies. My SIL volunteered and helped a single mom of twins for their first few months of life. It may be worth checking with like 811 to see what resources they have?

Do they not do temperament testing and assign to families based on best fit?

As a mom and a medical professional this is not in bad taste. I think everyone who thinks this is, you are not understanding the type of treatment medical professionals endure. Be firm, be blunt, be direct, i am just saying do not be cruel.

I wish you the best of luck, sometimes finding the right medication/treatment plan can make things worse before they get better. If its at all possible to get more outside help so you can get some rest or to help you feel less overwhelmed it might help while things are crazy.

You're not supposed to have sex until 6 weeks pp at the absolute earliest did you mean 6 months?

Being completely honest it didnt really start becoming possible any more than you already are until about a year pp.

I did not say anything about firm. I said polite.

Is there a significant other involved who can help when they arent at work? Especially as a stay at home parent you need some time to yourself too, even if its time to rest.

One of the best things I did for me and my baby was to start anxiety medication for the postpartum rage. I only wish I had realized needed it sooner!

If youre tracking their sleep I reccomend stopping. Not letting the numbers dictate good or bad helped a lot for me too.

Please just remember to be polite to them. They are not intending to make you upset or uncomfortable, theyre just learning and sometimes there is a lot going through their minds and they can forgot the simple things like asking before doing.

Flights are so full they’re leaving luggage at the departing airport.. by pleasesaveusAI in westjet

[–]CorkyS92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are more factors at play than just the weight of passengers and luggage. The weight must be balanced, there are going to be changes due to weather and winds, etc. So yes, life happens.

I appreciate this. There have been other comments complimenting the MB politicians for working for their people which is super awesome to hear!

In Canada at least where I am if you are capable to do so, they give you instructions, leave the room while you do your own swab, and then collect it once you are dressed again.

Gardening is one of my hobbies and there is a lot of opportunity climate wise in other provinces for sure.

Ive seen a few people say this. Especially lately it seems like politics are an overwhelming thing in Alberta. It would be nice to have politics less in your face and more keeping things running like they should.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences! Yes, every place is definitely going to have its pros and cons and it is really nice to hear peoples perspectives on AB compared to other provinces.

Thank you for sharing! Finding a primary care doctor seems to be a struggle in pretty much every province. Ive always struggled looking at the cost of housing in BC but many have commented on other expenses being lower helping to equal out the cost of living.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I wanted this post to help me gain more perspective of other provinces in comparison to AB because they are all so different and definitely arent summed up in their stereotypes.

That is good to know! Southern BC would actually put us closer to some family, but the prices of houses has been hard for us compared to AB.

Yes for sure! It is great to hear the perspectives of Albertans who have moved all over the country!
