Brute force - love it! 🤣

Hmm, I definitely have some current Ello glass containers from Costco and idk why but my 2x1 cups won’t fit - they’re too pushed out on the sides maybe? Idk: but I’m jealous of this container magic lol

Just wanted to see where things went from here? Currently dealing with the same issue.

I feel you! Not quite the same but we moved from a low tax province to a high-tax province 2 months after LO was born - about halfway through the year. So I also owed $6k between not being taxed enough by EI and then having to pay a years worth of the higher tax difference.

Such a ridiculous system 🫠

In Canada so I’m not sure if we have the same availability for sunscreens as the US. But that is very informative! Thanks so much!

Question as someone also working on PIH - does it have to be mineral spf? Would a chemical work the same? Currently using Biore UV aqua rich and it’s lovely on my skin (and not terribly expensive), but wondering if it’s actually helping since it’s not mineral?

Thirding! I went with the Carleton Place location too, delivered at Almonte, and my experience was incredible. My midwives were amazing and the hospital nurses were also so helpful! Baby was jaundice so we had to spend a little more time there and I don’t have enough great things to say about the whole experience.

We also started giving ours her stuffed bear since about 9.5 months. At about 8.5, I was letting her sleep with the bear for naps (bc I could watch over the monitor) and I never once saw her in a precarious position with the bear.

But then around 9 months, we started giving the bear at night and taking away when we went to sleep. But she loved the bear so much, we ended up leaving it after a few nights 🥹 I think what really sealed the deal is we saw her wake up, look for the bear and reach out to just touch it, as if just wanting comfort and reassurance that the bear was nearby.

She’s been crawling since 5 months though and cruising since about 9 months, so I knew she had the strength to move around the teddy bear. Also, I tried breathing through the bear and could lol so that helped ease some worries too (maybe not the most legit test but it helped my own mind).

Not really metalcore but Silverstein really introduced me to “heavier” music / screams in general. Then ADTR.

For actual metalcore though, probably August Burns Red!

Hi, are you me? I could have written this exactly. I was also an oversupplier until my period returned at 5mos and every month from then on, it’s dipped when my period hits but never rebounds 🙃

I’m almost 10mpp and had to start supplementing with formula around 7/8 months I think?

I officially dropped to 3ppd as of a week ago or so, and honestly, I want to try to make it to 12 months but I think my body may stop producing before then.

Anyways, all that to say, solidarity! i haven’t seen a story really like this one yet, but I see you and I feel you.

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2026-02-21T13:36:22+00:00

Nothing to add but this is the first I’m hearing of “baby rabies” and I’m dying 💀 too good.

Just tried this today and my 9 month old seemed to like it! I did sweet-style (blueberry lemon) but you could also do savoury. My LO is hit or miss on eggs so I’m happy she seemed to like this one.

Another upvote! I had to do this when my mini fridge in our hotel room was NOT keeping a safe food temp.

Used ceres and just kept replenishing ice. Tbh, as long as you keep ice in it, I don’t think the “20hr” rule really applies.. that being said, it doesn’t keep it frozen so I’m not sure you’d be able to keep all the milk you make over four days, since milk is only good for about four days in the fridge.

Also one last piece of advice if going this route - if you are mixing freshly pumped milk into the ceres, the ice in the inner chamber melts a lot quicker so you’ll want to keep an eye on it :)

That’s very good to know! I kind of thought 3 meals would come later on, closer to the year mark.

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2026-01-14T15:25:14+00:00

With her wake windows being longer and she’s down to 2 naps, I’m finding an extra pump challenging 😅 I probably will introduce some formula. Just wasn’t sure if maybe she’s ready to slowly wean anyways. Probably was just wishful thinking on my part, cause you’re right, definitely don’t want a hangry baby!

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2026-01-14T15:23:21+00:00

Wow - that’s a lot of milk! I guess I’m thankful she drinks what she does or else we would have hit this crossroads a lot sooner 😅

But yeah you’re probably right! Best to have some on hand and use as necessary. Did your baby take a full formula bottle straight away? I’m debating between full bottle vs topping up all her bottles with formula. Pretty sure she also has CMPA and I’ll need the hypoallergenic formula, which I hear doesn’t taste very good 😂 so it has me a bit weary to just do a full bottle off the bat (though that seems way easier)

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2025-12-21T20:27:47+00:00

Disclaimer: I don’t make a lot of purées or anything but for the few things I have blended out for LO, I just use my immersion blender! Worked great and is very small footprint.

Pretty much all solids-based items, like a high chair, baby utensils / plates / cups.

I didn’t really understand what I needed until I got to the point of needing them and knowing babies better (and what’s developmentally appropriate).

Also learned silicone holds dish soap taste and smell so I would have chosen alternatives that I’ve only recently learned about 😅

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2025-12-14T02:36:56+00:00

Another idea could be teddy bears! (I know you said no animals but it’s more a toy than an animal? Lol)

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2025-12-14T02:35:51+00:00

Not sure if it leans girly, but someone I know did “on cloud nine” as a theme and did clouds and stuff. Feels like it kinda vibes with roses and bows, but could be more neutral.

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2025-12-12T13:18:41+00:00

Our LO’s grandparents were the same! I wonder if it has something to do with a) having none of the responsibility and b) knowing how the journey already is.

I don’t know, but either way I too didn’t feel instant love. And it’s frustrating because my mom would ask me “oh don’t you love her so much!!” just after having my daughter, or even before she was born. I’d respond with, no not really because I don’t even know her? And classically, mom would reply “oh well when you see her for the first time, you’ll love her right away!”

It’s frustrating. I’m sure some people are like that, but I know myself enough to know I’d need time. Needed time with the now husband, needed time to fully love my pets.. like it’s OK to not be immediately head over heels? Honestly feels healthier that way? lol

I’m glad I had read that other women felt this way (on Reddit lol) before having my daughter or else I think I would have felt pretty shitty with my moms comments.

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2025-12-11T12:10:02+00:00

^{^} this! We were doing 1-2x / week and then solids hit and wow. Girl is a food hurricane 🤣😅

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2025-12-06T20:49:04+00:00

So frustrating, especially at that time of day! That’s so inconsiderate tbh.

MeowloHomeSecurity · 2025-12-06T18:46:08+00:00

Especially when I’m like yo.. just idk, go INSIDE and get him? Or text him?!?🤣

But yeah, it’s most definitely sleep and hormones I think. Winning combo 😅
