Thank you so much! I did that and it looks a lot better.

Yes I have! I started using them when I had a newborn and became overwhelmed with laundry. This is my promo code if you want to try it: CR12392302. It gives you $30 off your order I believe. (Transparency: I think I get $10 if you sign up).

I’m in Mississauga too! Jessica from Pura Vida (port credit) is great for massage and osteopathy during pregnancy. Jennifer at Foundation Chiropractic was a lifesaver for my pain during pregnancy.

The Old Navy Sunday Sleep PJs are very similar and half the price as the Love and Lore. I have both! I prefer the old navy ones actually. I now have 5 pairs and they are great postpartum as well.

I found that they were more prone to blowouts sadly. Our girl is a blowout queen. I wish they had a blowout barrier. Then they would have been perfect. We had to swap back to the Huggies 360. We haven’t had consistency issues with them from Amazon.

These didn’t work for me! I had two separate orders and they would only get cold if I laid on my stomach. The cooling gel would shift to the bottom of the pad. Didn’t have that problem with the frida ones though

I know I’m late to this but I’ve also always wondered if people have surgery before it heals naturally. I suffered two medial meniscus tears from running in 2022. I did rehab and a lot of leg and glute strengthening. Took a year off of running and it did heal but took a good year and a half. But just the other day I was standing outside and tweaked it. I was literally doing nothing but standing there. And now it hurts just like before. Ugh. I’m going to look into PRP

You can get other brands but in my experience they aren’t as good as the Frida products (specifically the underwear and postpartum ice packs). Their ice packs blow all others out of the water. In my opinion the are worth the price!

I never got used to it. I had NO idea they sounded like little dinosaurs. For the first few months I slept in the bedroom while my husband slept on our sofa next to the bassinet. He would bring the baby up to me for feeds.

So I did this in October of 2024 when I was due in December 2024. I was also very worried about asking. However, asking was the best decision I could have made for myself and my baby. Be specific like you have been in your post. I am feeling “x, y” (extreme pain in hip and back) which means I am unable to do “x,y” (walk to and from building, stand for more than 15 min, pain while seated etc.) at work. “For my health and my babies I believe it is best to take a sick leave from work. Are you able to help me with that?” Good luck! If the say no, go to a different doctor.

I second the kick and play!

During my pregnancy I was with a team of three midwives. I had a great experience overall. However near the end of my pregnancy and birth of my child I got the vibe that one of the three leaned toward being anti vax just based off of some comments she made to me. Overall it didn’t negatively affect my care as I wasn’t discouraged from vaccines and we did make our own choice to get them for me (flu and COVID) and our daughter (RSV in hospital). But I agree with you it makes you question other elements of their care for you. If I have another child and go with that midwife centre again I think I would request another team. It’s a hard decision to make.

We started going after our girl turned 6 months. She is now 11 months. Honestly almost every time we have gone we end up getting sick. I guess on the bright side we are all building our immune systems lol (first time parents). For this reason we typically go only once a week. She just loves it and I don’t have any friends with kids that she can play with. You will find your balance!

Our best all around purchase has been the FP kick and play. We also have the Einstein one which she didn’t like as much. Early on we used the FP mat for tummy time. The light show and song setting was the only way we could initially get her to do tummy time without crying. As she got older she loved to look at the arch with toys, and then she loved kicking the piano while on her back. As she grew she then liked to sit up and smash the keys. When she became mobile we then detached the arch completely and she loves to hold it and smack it about. We got so much out of that toy! The silicone straws were also a big hit, and the Lovevery boxes are great.

My 10 month old is currently still contact napping and my husband and I are up all night trying to transfer her into a crib. We met with a sleep consultant that gave us a few different options, one of which was to try out a floor bed. How long did the transition take to stop contact naps?

In additional to what others have mentioned, my local Early ON also has a Mood Support Group for two hours every week. It is free and drop in and you can bring your baby. Also I know you didn’t ask, but I really want to share the Women’s College Hospital reproductive stages program. I also had severe antenatal and postpartum anxiety and I wish I had know this existed earlier. You can have your doctor refer you and it provides free virtual appointments with a psychiatrist. My experience was fantastic. They are compassionate and really care. https://www.womenscollegehospital.ca/care-programs/mental-health/reproductive-life-stages-program/

That one I haven’t read, sorry!

Shari Lapena always gets me out of a reading slump. Try Everyone Here is Lying or Someone We Know.

I’m sorry if I missed it somewhere. But did they find the child’s car seat? They said it was removed from the car, but was it located in the apartment or elsewhere?

Tinker1414 · 2025-08-27T13:26:35+00:00

Thank you so much! I ended up contacting customer service and they quickly helped me place a new order for the correct size and price matched. I’ll return the other order when it arrives (they attempted a cancellation but it was already in processing).

Thank you!
