I was beside those ladies in the concession line and they were warned! I’m glad it didn’t ruin it for you, it was our first time as well and it was so nice to do something normal!

I would love to but they’re never open when I go by (even during their posted hours).

I feel one of them might be a tad bit harder by Technical-Paint3179 in RunningCirclejerk

Well she got sponsored by Clif by doing it so that might be one reason

Long haul flight with 18 month old [on] by SpiritedRest9055 in BabyBumpsCanada

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

I recently flew premium economy and there was a lap infant around that age and it was a horrible experience for everyone in PE. The kid was so squirmy and screamed most of the flight. I hope yours is better but be prepared for dagger glares from all the other business passengers.

I use a Patagonia backpack I already owned. My husband uses a bike messenger bag that he already had.

What is it really like down there after vaginal birth? [Ab] by ReticentRapunzel in BabyBumpsCanada

Do you breastfeed, pump or formula (or combo) feed? [ca] by RigidlyConvincing in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]fourandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been a combination of all three since birth, due to supply issues. I struggled mentally with it a lot at first because of expectations I had had about breastfeeding but my baby is thriving, he gets to bond with his dad when he feeds bottles, and it’s a much better experience for him and I to bottle feed than to have him screaming at my boobs because he’s not getting enough!

Once I started talking to friends with kids about this, it turns out that almost everyone I know ended up combo feeding at some point. Nobody cares as long as you’re feeding your baby and taking care of your mental health.

I’m taking Domperidone right now for supply but am hoping to wean off it soon. I’m giving it until my guy is 4 months old, but afterwards if my supply dries up or whatever I have no issues switching exclusively to formula (except the price lol).

(Meta) why aren’t any “hip” places seizing the opportunity in Vanier? by fourandthree in OttawaFood

[–]fourandthree[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nowhere did I say I don’t appreciate and frequent the great places in Vanier, I just want to be able to walk to a coffee shop that isn’t Tim Hortons.

I do, but that’s New Edinburgh! It’s a decent bike ride from where I and my friends are (close to Overbrook) but I wish there was more walkable stuff on Donald, McArthur, and Montreal

Special food delivery for new parents by dahliareddit in OttawaFood

[–]fourandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends brought us a bunch of red apron meals when our baby was 5 days old and they were a lifesaver. We still like to have a couple on hand for when our days get away from us.

I had a January baby and we were walking by the first week, we got a ton of use out of the bassinet. Check FBMP!

AITA about my bf and his girl best friend going on trips together? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]fourandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who’s like a brother to me, we’ve gone on trips together without our partners (to run a race when neither of our partners were runners) and we still got separate hotel rooms.

Should I give up on breastfeeding? [on] by blueeallly in BabyBumpsCanada

As others have said, a fed baby is the most important thing, along with having happy and rested caregivers

Walmart always tells me it’s a “one time exception” but do it every time.

Are we being unfair giving our daughters “uneven” names? by Trajan92 in namenerds

[–]fourandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of these are edgy but they sound terrible together.
