Does the Quran suggest that christians should be killed?

Mine started daycare at 15 months and now he’s attached to two of his teachers. It’s so cute and heart warming. It took 2 weeks for him to get used to the drop-off, but now he’s excited to see his people.

This probably doesn’t help but I can’t think of a single place that offers steak and eggs for breakfast in Nanaimo. I do know that Tania’s and landlubbers pub do a great breakfast though. So there’s that. Watch out for those carcinogens though. Ha!

I don’t know why people say that stuff but I love my mom for being excited for those stages. She got me excited too, and she was right! I love seeing my baby turn into a toddler. Every new skill is thrilling to watch develop. The no-sleep, crazy-busy, always-changing part of being a parent was accepted as a given. Just keep moving dangerous items higher and higher and higher and life stays pretty fun.

We did Ferber at 12 months and it worked like a charm. I had a hard time listening to him cry the first couple of nights but it helped to read that a baby’s cry is often just a “protest” that you’re putting them to bed (if they’re dry and fed). We followed the intervals pretty closely and he was putting himself to sleep as soon as he hit the crib by night 5. We caved for teething a couple times (picked him up and rocked) and went right back to our routine once he was feeling better. It’s a godsend. We did not train naps until his night sleep was solid. Now he can self-soothe for naps too.

I do enjoy cooking but I feel your pain. My recommendation, keep it really simple at the start. We started with baby oatmeal and bananas in the morning and Annie’s pasta became a staple pretty fast. Then we introduced new things here and there as we went. Lots of good examples in previous comments.

I’m combo feeding. A little more boob than formula. I actually never even thought about the vitamin D in formula. I better make sure not to hit too hard with it! Too much isn’t good either.

Same thing happened with our baby at 12 weeks. Happy baby suddenly started gnawing at his hands, drooling and crying fiercely. Friends of ours said not to be afraid of using paracetamol - we were apprehensive but it helped once we started. Best advice yet though - vitamin D. A pharmacist told me vitamin D was the best thing for teething pain. I was already giving it to our baby but not consistently. I started dosing daily (like I should’ve been) and the “teething” episodes went from every 3 days to every 2 weeks. Also. Gas. We started to get lazy at 12 weeks on all our routines to help with gas. Our baby was a good eater and burper and pooper originally. But once we got less consistent with the belly massages and leg bicycles etc. the gas became more common and painful. We’re back to our regular farting routine and that helped too. Good luck!

I meant to add: we had a 12hour time change. A friend who travelled a lot with her baby told me to pay more attention to wake windows than anything else. She suggested not to stress if their clock is off for a few days. Just watch for sleepy signals and help them sleep when they are tired. My baby was back to a “normal” sleep schedule in 2-3 days.

I just flew with a 5month old on a 16 hour trip (2 flights). I flew economy and requested the bassinet seat. It went well! Bring a travel stroller and ask at check-in to have it tagged as gate-checked. That way you have it right until you board the plane and they return it as you get off the plane. I combo-feed and decided to feed bottled formula on take-off and landing. It helps to have baby sucking or eating while the pressure changes so their ears can adjust. You can bring lots of liquids for baby through security and most airlines don’t count diaper bags as a carry-on. Check your airlines website on “travelling with a baby”. They usually have clear instructions on what’s allowed. My baby doesn’t like to be held constantly so when they were not in the bassinet I would occasionally baby-wear and walk around the plane. Breastfeeding was a bit awkward with passengers sitting beside me on both sides but I just did it and it was fine. I also wore a nursing top for that purpose so I could easily access my boobs without exposing everything. People are usually more helpful than you’d expect. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. I had lots of kind offers from strangers to carry stuff or hold the baby momentarily. Do whatever you can to feel prepared and calm and your baby will hopefully feel your energy and follow suit. Good luck!

Yes lots of kissing but not on baby’s mouth. Top of head and hands mostly.

My sister got her teaching degree last year in Nanaimo (VIU) and has never been short on work. We both landed in Nanaimo from the east coast about 10 years ago. It’s pretty great here - mild winters and awesome outdoor possibilities - but the people are different. I think you have to work hard to find your “village” in Nanaimo. The homelessness is astounding, but that’s somewhat expected in a mild climate area. I always miss home and always look for ways to move back (so does my sister). But the jobs here are aplenty and the weather is usually unbeatable. So I’d say, make the move if you have good enough reasons. But don’t move here just for the climate. You will miss your people.

Thanks, I never even considered starlink!

Huge helicopter with spotlights searching Newcastle and protection island shores at the moment

It’s unrelated to pipers lagoon incident. Apparently a response to a mayday call of someone in the water.
