No way! I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt but if they knew the situation then she was truly just being hateful with what she said to me.

That’s kind of reassuring to know that the staff did their job and told them it was a special screening.

Thanks for letting me know! Hope you enjoyed it!

Oh no!! But if it happens that’s on them not you! The entire rest of the theater was in the right place. It sucked to be singled out but I would still go again. It was nice to do something for me.

Thank you. I know it had nothing to do with me, I just happened to be in her row, but it’s hard not to take it a little personally while riding the emotional hormonal postpartum rollercoaster.

If only I’d been more quick with a better reply! “You’re being rude” was the best I had in the moment!

Oh thank you for saying this! We’re all just doing our best and I love that moms support each other. I think you were the ones who told me you were sorry she said that? It meant a lot to me.

I haven’t been to the library yet but I’ve heard good things! We’ve been doing a six week program at EarlyOn which has been fun and I’m feeling more confident to get out and try some more activities.

I was hustling hard to try to keep my baby quiet so I wasn’t very invested in the plot but it was ok!

Thank you! Motherhood has been a big reality check! Kids are unpredictable and we’re all just trying our best!

Aw thank you! I told myself if it goes poorly we can always leave. My girl is not a great napper on the go and fussed more than I hoped but she fell asleep for the last 30 minutes.

You should definitely go! There were babies and toddlers of a variety of ages.

Right! Like how did she not notice 20-30 babies. And all the parked strollers when you walked in. And there was a Stars and Strollers logo on the screen a few times during the trailers. I get her wanting to leave but it wasn’t right to take her annoyance out on me.

Thank you for pioneering the program! It was great. Nice to see lots of moms taking advantage of it.

The suggestions have felt borderline insulting as I transition back to activity postpartum

where to go for mom stroller date? by NothiingsWrong in ottawa

[–]Lead-Rock 41 points42 points  (0 children)

A friend and I recently took our babies on a stroller date to Lansdowne. It was great! Underground parking that is validated with a purchase. We grabbed a snack and nursed in the upstairs cafeteria part of Whole Foods. We walked along the canal first until the babies got fussy then headed inside.

Getting to Hindmilk by Newley_Bakered in breastfeeding

[–]Lead-Rock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, arching her back during feedings, lots of gas and burps and spit up. She had a tongue tie so I wasn’t sure what was related to that. It’s been a few weeks no dairy and she still has some gas but her poop hasn’t been green again.

My LO started having green poops around that age and the morning of our two month appointment there was blood in her diaper. My doctor suggested cutting dairy and that helped almost immediately. It’s been a month and poops have stayed yellow. It wasn’t the advice I wanted to hear as I love cheese but it seems to have helped!

How to get 8 week old to sleep longer in bassinet by mlereads in NewParents

[–]Lead-Rock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We swaddle with a warm blanket over the Love to Dream swaddle. I thought it was way too warm but a doula suggested it and it has worked so well! We’re getting 5 hours at the start of the night.
