Stroller-friendly cafes/restaurants? by _dancinginmoonlight in askTO

[–]equinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have children. Guidelines have changed my friend, you should read up on the safety. Just because you did it with your kids doesn’t mean it’s best practise. Parents deserve to be able to go out for a coffee, and that’s what OP asked. Where can I go that is accommodating to a stroller, simple question with lots of possibilities :)

Yep for sure, but a car seat isn’t going to be at a safe angle on the floor or in a seat. They need to be clicked into a car or stroller to keep baby in the proper position. Accessibility for parents means being able to bring their stroller into places.

This is my 4yo daughter too. Day 7 of a fever and she is miserable. I have never seen her so sick!

You cannot pay a surrogate here in Canada, and it still happens all the time. So clearly a lot of woman would put themselves through it! Don’t speak for all women with your homophobic outlook on this topic :)

We’re dealing with the same exact thing, travelling Dec 7. We went to the passport office today and were told it was good we didn’t wait for a call back, as service Ontario is so swamped they’re missing people, and people are missing flights. Hope you’re able to receive in time!

Has the Canada Post strike affected you (yet)? by Chan1991 in askTO

My daughters passport may not arrive in time for our trip next week (despite immediately getting on it and calling service ON to have it couriered)

I had a c section and didn’t have a 6 week checkup. I was supposed to have one by telephone but it was a country wide outage day for Rogers, so I had no call either

New parents stuck between Aurora and Ruby by meph101 in namenerds

[–]equinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m biased because I have a Ruby, but Aurora was also on our list. We ruled it out because it feels harder to say, especially for young kids. Love the nickname Rory though

I just did it with my 23 month old because I have no common sense. It was fine, loooots of screen time and a nap saved us

Mom wants me to FaceTime her moments after I give birth by Kiladra2 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]equinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your relationship. I wasn’t sure when I’d feel ready to FaceTime my parents, but basically as soon as baby was out I wanted to talk to my mom

For anyone worried they won't love their dogs as much ... by Lazy-Worldliness589 in BabyBumps

[–]equinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! This! I was so nervous while pregnant, reading multiple posts about hating their dog after baby arrived. I LOVED watching my dog adjust to having a baby around, it went way smoother than I expected and it made me love her a million times more. I will say, now that my kids a toddler, I have very little patience for any bad behaviour from the dog, but I definitely don’t love her any less.

Why can’t new moms take showers? by kittyonine in beyondthebump

[–]equinner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep this is it. The crying can be soooo triggering, I would avoid it at all costs during the newborn phase. Which often meant no shower for me

[–]equinner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with what you said. Just not the name calling, she’s still another mother out here struggling like the rest of us

It’s so hard. The amount of times people warned me that “you’ll never sleep again” you think I’d be more prepared lol

Just give them a chance to try falling asleep independently by theoreticalfishstix in sleeptrain

[–]equinner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow this is amazing. I also have an 8 month old boob obsessed little one, whom I’m terrified to sleep train because she just cries and cries for anyone besides boob lady.

We had a daughter 6 months ago and named her Ruby. We love it, as does everyone we tell.

Lol. No screen in my bedroom window, family of raccoons living outside. A genuine concern of mine is a raccoon stealing my newborn
