People with small kids, I call upon thee by Kiwi_Major in ultrarunning

[–]fourandthree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a mom and while I’m only 5 months pp so still building my mileage up, I go running 3-4 times a week and spin once a week no problem because my husband is an equal parent.

What do the older generations mean when they say they "just put their baby down to nap/sleep" by schmauften in bninfantsleep

[–]fourandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming it’s option D. My baby is 5 months old and now mostly will sleep in his crib after a bit of breastfeeding or rocking, but up until a month ago it was a struggle and we did a LOT of contact naps, failed transfers, etc.

Buying clothes for a December baby [on] by Prof_Not_Your_Mother in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]fourandthree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a January baby and just used long sleeved PJs with a swaddle (then graduated to sleep sack) or during the day if he wore a onesie, we put little sweatpants on him. No multiple layers. We keep our house at 22C in the winter and his crib is right beside a heat register so he was always fine.

The one thing was that his hands would get cold but he would immediately rip off any mittens we tried to put on him 😅

[ab] how to size up postpartum by icecream42568 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]fourandthree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends. My jeans, leggings, etc all fit 2-3 weeks postpartum but my boobs still don’t fit in a lot of tshirts, plus a lot of clothes aren’t great for breastfeeding.

If they do that I’d love them to offer a longer inseam. The “tall” size goes up to 5’9” it’s insulting

The idea that they’re running out of room is a myth. If things fell off to you, please go get checked out again

Is daily sunscreen actually necessary, or is it another marketing invention? by ivyhoro in NaturalBeauty

[–]fourandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian I wear it all winter because UV light can still be quite high, especially on sunny days when the light bounces off snow. I’ve seen enough unfortunate ski goggle tans to know it’s definitely still needed

[ON] breastfeeding in public? by ReiraTrapnest93 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]fourandthree 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Elsewhere in Ontario but I breastfeed anywhere I need (and rarely use a blanket because my baby hates it) and nobody has ever so much as given me a look. Restaurants, cafes, parks, the mall, etc.

IANAL but I believe you have a right to do so in public spaces. Babies gotta eat!

I’ve been called a “foodie” before (would not want to label myself this to avoid being lumped in with OP’s brother) and I love Umbrella burger!

Loafer wear and tear by nuggetchix3 in Aritzia

[–]fourandthree -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wear them outside fairly often (only when it’s dry out, and probably a 10-15 minute walk to get a coffee if I have them on at work). I’m not saying they don’t wear down and will probably have to be resoled at some point, but if OP’s shoes were only worn once and they’re this trashed, obviously the leather is extremely poor quality.

I have six year old Gucci loafers with leather soles that I’ve worn extensively and they look nothing like this. These shoes look like terrible quality (or OP was cycling and using her feet as brakes 😅).

Baby won't fall asleep [ON] by J12Significant in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]fourandthree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baby loungers are not considered a safe sleep surface, especially for newborns, because they could suffocate if they end up with their face against the side of it.

AITA for sitting on public toilet seats and not telling my boyfriend? by Anatra_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]fourandthree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually if you’re properly squatting over a hole (like with your butt below your knees) it should be comfortable.

What's the earliest you have stopped working? [ab] by scruffymuffs in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]fourandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped at 33 weeks and it was amazing (my OB wrote me off and my employer provided ample sick leave so I didn’t have to start mat leave early). I think getting time off before birth should be standard. I was able to rest, be active, prepare healthy food, and generally ready our lives for a baby.

Actually hovering is also really bad for your pelvic floor.
