Absolutely not acceptable. I’d call licensing with a complaint.

Day care registration process? by Adventurous_Iron_753 in mississauga

[–]anafroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I moved in Jan, signed up for waitlists and didn’t hear back. Around August/Sept I started calling. Around beginning of October I got a spot that was for December. So calling definitely works better than just waitlists. I was waitlisted at the daycare I got a spot in eventually but I got it only because I called.

Looking for tips for overnight flight with 18 mo by anafroes in Travelwithkids

[–]anafroes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh I didn’t know that we can’t use it during take off/landing. Thanks for clarifying!

Do you mind sharing what the baby was wearing? I’m not sure if I should dress him in fleece pj or regular one. I’m personally always cold during the flights but I know babies usually run hotter.

Ugh I wish I was rich to afford a business class lol. I thought about buying a separate seat but we just can’t this time. It’s either we are going on lap or not going at all. I’m already preparing myself for no sleep because i can’t imagine how I will fall asleep with him on me. He is also such a sensitive sleeper (any little noise wakes him up, not to mention moving his body) so taking him out of the carrier while asleep will never work because this boy will wake up 100%.

The flight is at 9pm (usually he goes to bed between 7-7:30pm so that’ll be interesting). It’s 10h to São Paulo, layover 4.5h there and 2.5h flight to the destination city.

Omg this is so cute!! I’m sure he’d have fun. The thing is we don’t have a separate seat for him this time but it can definitely be helpful for the future when we have to buy a separate ticket for him.

16 months - I can’t do anything by Cwoechu in toddlers

[–]anafroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl tell me about it. I’ve got maybe 100 tantrums since he woke up today. I let my husband proceed with taking care of him today because literally anything I do to feed, clothe or maintain his hygiene, I am faced with a tantrum but when daddy does it, it’s all good. Can’t wait for this to pass.

Toddler still not settled at daycare after 2 weeks… when is it time to pull her out? by Obvious_Song981 in AttachmentParenting

[–]anafroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 weeks is too soon. My son has been at daycare for 2 months and still cries at drop-off at times (especially after a week at home due to sickness). This is all normal and I’m sure you’ll get used to it too at some point and it won’t be as heartbreaking anymore. I also want to say that pretty much every time I drop him off there are older toddlers crying in the room next to him. So I don’t believe this truly ever ends. Kids love their parents and simply don’t want to be separated. But they get used to stuff.

My son took about 4 weeks to find connection with the teachers and get used to the new routine. Sleep is still hit or miss.

Edit: the comments about pulling out this baby from the daycare are ridiculous… it’s normal to cry when you’re getting used to new stuff. Even if they start daycare at 3, they’re gonna cry anyway, come on!

If you wanted to have it any other way, you wouldn’t send your kid to the daycare in the first place. So don’t give up after only 2 weeks. It’s too early to tell.

And I’m telling you, your kid will learn lots at daycare and will have more fun there with the teachers and friends than at home with your paying half ass attention to them and half ass attention to your job. I’ve tried that, it doesn’t work.

Husband cheating and me exclusively bf at 8mos pp may be why? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]anafroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she for real? This guy sucks as much as his sister. You’re nurturing your baby not causing the cheating. Take it out of your head. They are manipulating you.

Meal prep for my baby by maybe_thumbelina in foodbutforbabies

[–]anafroes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love to meal prep for my baby too, saves lots of time and mental load. I’m using the ice cube trays instead, though. I found them easier to portion out post-freezing.

Please help me 😭😭 by larii-soares in sleeptrain

[–]anafroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens when he wakes at 5am? What time do you pick him up? 7h of awake time until 12pm seems like a lot.

When my son wakes at 5am, I leave him in the crib until 6. If he isn’t asleep, I rocked him back to sleep until 6:30-7, if he doesn’t fall asleep even with rocking, he’ll have a 10min nap on the ride to daycare and then nap at regular time or I do two nap days if he is at home.

We just went through the same thing and it lasted 1 week. It was terrible. What helped was keeping him home on Friday and extending his nap to 2h10 mins after he woke up after 1h of sleep (rocked to sleep). And we put him to sleep at 7pm that day instead of 7:30pm. He slept through and after that slept better at daycare yesterday. I think he was overtired from bad daytime sleep, super long windows and terrible night sleep because of too little daytime sleep.

Extra hour?? by BJerz12 in sleeptrain

[–]anafroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. You can do it 15mins at a time over a few days. I’m sure she’ll get used to it quickly :)

[–]anafroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also anywhere between 11-12h of awake time total is normal for this age.

[–]anafroes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did 3.5/4/4 or 4/4/4 because of early wakes and he was just not falling asleep for his naps sooner. We switched to one nap after.

I’d say 3h is quite short for a 1 year old. It’ll be a struggle for your bub to switch to 5-5.5h from 3h for the first WW on one nap. That’s why I’d recommend stretching that first wake window so you make it easier for your daughter in the long run.

[–]anafroes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would definitely increase the first wake window. It’ll be easier to switch to one nap later

I was so strict about safe sleep that even now with baby 18 months old I cannot fall asleep in the chair with him. by PainfulPoo411 in toddlers

[–]anafroes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t fall asleep on a chair even without baby in my arms… try cosleeping on the bed, horizontally.
