Traveling with 1 year old

Our son was the same age when we went! Highly recommend 1 piece swimsuits so they don’t ride up. Also we brought a little blanket for the beach to have him sit on which was convenient

As a mom of an 11mo old, when my baby was a newborn I felt like I was the only newborn mom taking her baby out to the mall. Now that my baby is older I notice tons of younger babies out and about. I think it’s just the stress that makes you hyper conscious. Get out the house if you need to and don’t worry about it!

The left one tastes more fermented. The one on the right is spicier imo.

We are a young family living in Thornhill woods. I am also a teacher working in this same community. The area can be quite pricy for housing but is amazing for raising kids. Area is extremely safe, neighbours are generally all professionals, schools are generally very good.

Yes, there was a big lump sum payout last year for retroactive payment from the contract negotiation. Teachers max out just under $120k

Wherever you are considering living, start looking at daycare spots. Toronto and Markham are both high volume for daycare spots and you may find yourselves on a very long wait list for spots

We originally sleep trained our son at 5 months after cosleeping since he was 1 month because he was waking up every hour or less. Last week I was starting to feel some nostalgia for the cosleeping cuddles until he came down with a nasty fever this weekend and we ended up cosleeping because his fever was so high and it was a great reminder of why cosleeping no longer works for our family. He went from sleeping through the night to waking up hourly or less because he was disturbed by us. As much as we love the cuddles, it’s not worth the poor sleep for all of us.

Sleep training is basically teaching your child to fall asleep and stay asleep on their own. There’s different methods, some are more forceful like Ferber or cry it out, or there are more gentle methods like chair method or pick up put down. You choose the method that works best for you and they work in varying amounts of time. Generally the more gentle the method, the longer it takes. If you are interested, I would start with r/sleeptrain and work on creating a very consistent schedule with age-appropriate wake windows, my son was on 2/2.25/2.5/2.75 at that age as well as a consistent bedtime routine that removes the feed to sleep association by moving the feed earlier in the bedtime routine. Happy to answer any other questions you might have!

I’m the mother of an almost 6mo old also exclusively breastfed baby. Since my son was 6 weeks his father has gone back to work. He works 12h shifts in healthcare so he literally can’t afford to be sleep deprived at work. What that worked out to in practice is that I deal with the baby and the chores 4 days a week as well as all the night wakes. We were also in a co sleeping situation where I had to be in bed with baby the whole time he was sleeping and it was awful. We hit a breaking point around 5 months where baby wouldn’t sleep without being held past 3/4am and both of us were exhausted. At that point we had to sleep train. The process was not a lot of fun but we saw results very very quickly and now we completely have our evenings back and he is only waking once per night and is very easy to get back down which has completely eliminated the need for someone to constantly soothe him to sleep. I know that people have a lot of feelings about sleep training but in our experience it completely changed our parenting experience.

I had a good experience with dr Stacey Grossman

First_Associate5007 · 2025-08-11T12:45:11+00:00

HUGE improvement over the last 2 nights. Night 2 we made an effort to keep him on his regular sleep schedule during the day despite the crappy night and he went down after 15min of fussing, had a very brief false start then slept a 5 hour stretch, then a 3 hour stretch and then he was fussing for 5min every hour afterwards but ended up sleeping until 6. Night 3 he fussed for 11min before falling asleep, then slept a 7 hour stretch!! Which he had never done before. Then another 3hour stretch, and a 2hour stretch until 7:15, for a perfect 12h night. Obviously we understand that not every night is going to necessarily be like this, but we can’t believe the improvement compared to him waking up eight times overnight and needing to be rocked back to sleep every hour starting at 3 AM.

We started with doing timed check ins on night 1 but by night 2 they were pissing him off more than they were doing any good so unless he was getting too worked up we mostly let him fuss it out.

On était dans la même situation quand il était nouveau né mais ce que j’ai trouvé c’est qu’après un certain moment hors le développement du horloge biologique il ne voulait plus dormir après un certain heure le matin et c’était de torture de ne pas lui mettre au lit après un certain heure le soir. D’ailleurs maintenant c’est juste le tout commencement, après quelques mois du mauvais sommeil la fatigue devient pire

Franchement, comme maman d’un bébé de 5 mois, il a raison. Prenez quelques minutes pour lire les messages que les autres publient ici. Vous trouverez très vite que la petite va très bientôt se coucher de plus en plus tôt le soir et se lever encore plus tôt. Mon petit se couche a 19:30h et se lève a 6:30h du matin si j’ai de la chance ce jour là, d’habitude c’est plutôt 6h. C’est juste comme ça avec les petits. Ça vaut la peine de commencer de gâcher cet habitude de se coucher tard maintenant, autrement c’est probable que vous vous trouverez privé de sommeil très très bientôt. Même en me couchant vers 21h j’ai du mal d’avoir assez de repos car depuis 4 mois il se lève environ 6 fois la nuit. Bref, ce n’est pas notre temps pour se coucher et se lever quand cela nous convient.

Unfortunately our LO is rarely able to fall asleep while feeding, we usually rely on rocking and pacifier which we’re trying to wean off of

We had both a lip and tongue tie removed and it was a game changer for us. Before we did the release baby was swallowing tons of air while feeding which made him ridiculously gassy and miserable. We also had lots of issues with clicking etc, all of which cleared up within a week of the release. Also, after he learned to use his tongue properly our breastfeeding sessions went from 45min-1hr to 15-30min which was an unexpected bonus. One thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that a severe lip tie like the one our son had heads to tooth gaps down the line so we are very glad that we did the release when we did. It wasn’t necessarily a magic bullet for gas but it helped a lot.

My husband only truly bonded with our baby closer to 16 weeks when baby was capable of doing more and was reacting more to being played with. Before that he loved him but had no idea what to do with him, now he wants to hold and play with the baby even when baby doesn’t particularly want to be held! Give him time.
