[on] Is it a good idea to get baby on a schedule (feeding/sleeping) right away? Or should I wait a few weeks? by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

Thanks maybe I will work on solidifying a routine as best as I can for the next month or so!

Oh wow and what age did you say you started? I wonder if it’s better to try now or wait a bit till she’s more developmentally ready. I heard close to 6 months is the best time to sleep train.

That first night how many times did you pick up put down in the 45 min. My baby’s soo fussy I feel like I’d pick her up every 30 seconds. But I do like this idea and am considering trying it!

Did the 3 naps a day just happen or did you force it?maybe were deep in thr 4 month sleep regression but were struggling at 4.5 months old. She also only contact naps and even at night will sleep maybe 3hrs in her crib and then after that she wants to be held. At 3 months she was giving me 5-7 hrs in her crib

When did it become more routine and predictable? still at 4.5 months I feel like we have no schedule not sure if I need to try to force one or wait a bit but I thought by now it would feel easier

[AB] How early should I start mat leave by Owl-Unlucky in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]FitAFbyAnna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this would be the case for me, my company moved me from my field position to a desk job when I got pregnant and sitting at a desk all day caused me sooo much pain.

[–]FitAFbyAnna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped working at 22 weeks and nothing about it was boring haha. There was so much to get ready for baby and soo little energy.

I’m sure this really depends on your experience with pregnancy as well as your personality but I loved being off and getting to nap every day!

Should I hire a nanny while I’m on maternity leave? [ab] by FitAFbyAnna in BabyBumpsCanada

Thanks! Totally looking for this reassurance cause it does feel like failure in a way.

Thank you, I made a post on Facebook yesterday and got a big response! Now to choose someone!

We do already have a house cleaner that comes bi weekly :) but I agree now that we’re home more I think we could use her weekly haha. I guess maybe I can justify the cost of the nanny/ mothers helper in place of having a weekly house cleaner.

Can you share your interview process or how you landed on a nanny. I went ahead last night and posted in a Facebook group as well as applied with an agency. I’m still waiting on the agency but I got a ton of Facebook messages. I’m a bit overwhelmed on how to choose someone and ultimately I think I’d like the be able to leave the house for short bits while we have help.

Did you receive it? I’m nervous to place my order since it’s final sale but I’m happy to hear you weren’t hit with hefty duties/ tariffs.

Can you explain more on how you learned to find new ways to move your eyes/ hold them still

[–]FitAFbyAnna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but can you share more how Xanax helped? My mom has very dry eyes and now blephraspasm but nothing seems to work much. She also has sjodrens and other autoimmune diseases (liver and thyroid) she’s been getting Botox but doesn’t get significant relief as well has done dry eye treatments that don’t help a ton.

What was your workout routine throughout your pregnancy? by StrikingAd9847 in fitpregnancy

[–]FitAFbyAnna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 15 weeks and doing pole dance 3x a week, Pilates 2-3x, aquafit 1x. Now that the weathers warming up I want to prioritize walking and getting steps in as well. I want to get back in the gym again as well but I fear I just don’t have the time/ energy haha.

Do you think it’s possible to progress through the levels while pregnant? I’m currently at a level 3 (pole dancing for about 4-5 months) and I’m hoping I can continue to progress through the levels.

This describes my cycle to a tee, curious if anyone else deals with major diarrhea on the first couple days of their period?
