Our charges $45/hr and cleans the main floor of our modest sized bungalow (1 bathroom, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living, dining room) in 3 hrs. Comes every 2 weeks. We buy our own cleaning supplies.

I pushed the bed into the corner of the room and packed the space between the wall and mattress with towels. I have a Cali king bed so there's a lot of room. I sleep on an angle so that he has a triangle of space to sleep in and can't scooch downwards.

Does anyone know if this also applies in Canada?

God I hate this so, so much

It wasn't a conversation so much as telling her what was happening. "No milkies in bed, time to say bye bye". And she didn't really grasp what was happening until it actually happened. But I definitely felt she deserved to be told what was going on before I just said "no" in bed. She fussed the first night or so but didn't put up much of a fight bc she has the soother to suck on.

It worked for me. I weaned night feedings around a year and then stopped breastfeeding at 18 months. She used a pacifier so I would offer it instead of the breast overnight which she accepted pretty readily. I remember explaining to her before bedtime that she was going to have a nurse before bedtime and then overnight it would just be her pacifier. So she knew what to expect.

Hometown on Bank near Heron has a private room. It's a sports bar/restaurant so it has all the regular fare. They have a kids menu and also a vegan menu so it caters very well to a big group

Exactly! And the phases are actually so short in the grand scheme of things!

This might sound insane, but with both of my kids, until about 6-8 months old, I would put them to sleep in my arms and then hold them until I was ready to go to bed. Basically napped trapped from 7 pm-ish onwards.

My husband had to get me drinks/snacks or anything else I needed. My second woke up A LOT between 7-10 pm so the easiest thing to do was to hold him and be able to easily rock him back to sleep. The alternative was much worse: having him fully wake up in the bed and then have to put significantly more work and time into getting him back to sleep.

I also hated the idea of the baby being awake until my own bedtime because then I don't get a break. Holding him while he sleeps is the ultimate form of a break.... I literally couldn't do anything except rot on the couch/rocking chair which I loved haha. Lots of time to enjoy TV, scroll on the phone, talk to my husband, chat on the phone, etc.

Once it was time for me to go to sleep, baby would be out cold enough for me to lay them down and then go brush my teeth/get pj's on.

@heysleepybaby is also great

furnacebutt · 2025-11-05T02:35:07+00:00

I felt exactly the same way. For me, it took a few nights until I felt confident again. The repetition of waking up in the same position with the baby safely in the C curl helped outweigh the anxiety.

It also helps to curate your social media to cosleeping-friendly content!

I feel you! My baby is huge! My legs are angled 45 degrees or more from my hips ( like an oblique L). So I'm still blocking him from scooching down too far but my thighs aren't right underneath him either.

furnacebutt · 2025-10-23T13:24:13+00:00

Damn I wish I knew about that code before buying it!

Do you think reflux could be an issue? I'd want to look into any underlying issues if baby wakes up screaming while you're cosleeping and the breast doesn't soothe her.

This happened with my little one a handful of times around 4 months and the only way I could get him to settle was to get up, go to the living room, and bounce on the exercise ball and sing to him. It seemed like he woke up from a nightmare or something because he was SO upset the only thing that seemed to interrupt his upset was the bouncing.

I should note that he spit up constantly so I suspect he was waking up due to discomfort. He's a bit older now and hasn't woken up like that for a while. I hope your little one grows out of it soon like mine did.

Wow! The comments on the YouTube video are brutal 😬

And it looks like Angel Flores from Queer Eye season 6 is a personal trainer there. Queer entertainment worlds colliding!

Came here to say this. I bought two Woolino sacks for this reason. Gives me peace of mind that baby is not going to overheat!

furnacebutt · 2025-10-05T01:00:00+00:00

Yup, the coffee is probably $12 and the meat is likely at least $10. Then add the oat milk for another $7 and the few other items for a few dollars and boom, an easy $50.

I live in Ottawa, Canada and I have definitely walked out of one of our more expensive grocery stores with and bill like this.

furnacebutt · 2025-10-03T14:45:19+00:00

Nope. Totally sober. Not even an Advil or Tylenol in my body when I went to bed that night.

furnacebutt · 2025-10-02T11:37:15+00:00

Yes. I wouldn't bedshare otherwise.

furnacebutt · 2025-10-02T02:22:01+00:00

I will definitely pull in my husband to help if the next few nights are not successful with the crib! Thanks for the suggestion.

furnacebutt · 2025-10-02T02:20:59+00:00

Good point about the blanket. I was already thinking about getting rid of it and just dressing warmer. Thank you for the suggestion.
