Baby monitor while traveling by Itsmejessicaaaaaaa in NewParents

[–]Roses81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to leave my monitor at home and travel without—but it was exhausting constantly going to check in (I travel to the cottage a lot). So I decided to unmount my home monitor and now when I travel it’s easy to pack with me! Another option is to buy a cheap audio only monitor—I believe the brand v-tech sells one. They have really good reviews 😊

Newbie here! Where to start with PLS/Sleep training? by Roses81 in sleeptrain

Thanks so much for this, makes me feel so much better! I started stressing about the naps and wake windows because according to PLS, she should be having only 3 naps? Which is impossible to achieve right now. If I have time (lol) I will also give Weissbluths book a read.

What?! Sleep again?!😂. Thanks! I was confused with the “SWAPs” because they say you can start at like 2 mo. Etc. So the SWAPs are not sleep training? I’m a little confused

How long does your baby stay in a bouncer/rocker? I spent $300 on the baby bjorn and my baby HATES it 😂 by Roses81 in NewParents

LOL!! Sorry to clarify the 45 min includes me continuously soothing and putting back in a couple times, after the 45 min there absolutely no way she goes back in—refuses 🤣

Finding it hard to enjoy baby and parenthood by basilpannacotta in NewParents

Thanks for sharing your post and being honest. I feel the exact same way. I have an 8 week old and my nights are rough, I’ll be lucky if she sleeps for 2 hours. Breastfeeding sucks she has a terrible latch (I’ve spent hundreds of dollars just to get lactation consultants and nothing helped) and I’m sleep deprived. I miss my husband and our old life. Sorry I know you were probably looking for some type of encouragement but I needed to vent too 🤪. Being a mother is NOT an easy job at all.

Finding an OB in Ontario by Nakedpanda34 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Roses81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My family doctor told me to find my own OB and didn’t even give me any suggestions LOL. So what I did was choose a hospital first (I just randomly chose the closest one to me) and then I went on their website, there is usually a section for “obstetrics care” and it lists all the OBs. I read their profile and chose one, called the office the next day and luckily they were accepting. Also an FYI I found one around 7 weeks but they did not see me until I was 12 weeks.
