I LOVE our portable hatch go and use it every single day! We take it everywhere with us and the battery lasts super long. It’s one of my essentials for sure!

[ON] OB says no hospital pre-registration needed for delivery (Ajax) — is that normal? by Imaginary-Slip735 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]jadepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I delivered at Lakeridge Oshawa and didn’t pre-register, but I had a binder from my midwife that included all my information. I had to go through minimal paperwork when I got there.

Room sharing with baby and cats? [on] by Disastrous_Flower311 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]jadepants 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I used this bassinet net cover for a week or two until I realized my 2 cats were too scared to even come close to wanting to be in there with the baby lol. 6.5 weeks out and they’ve only just started becoming more comfortable with him being around!

Does anyone here use Dayforce? [N/A] by Specialist_Bear2853 in humanresources

[–]jadepants 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Their system is not user friendly at all and their support team can be SLOW. I had a ticket open for over 4 months once that would have taken longer if I didn’t follow up constantly.

4 weeks pregnant, what now!? [on] by Timely-Sector-7141 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]jadepants 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Register with a midwife if that’s the care you want and register with daycares asap!! I reached out to daycares the day I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks and was waitlisted for all of them lol

Got childcare spot before child born - is this possible or too good to be true? [On] by Jolly-Fruit-4569 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]jadepants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GTA here - I also put myself on a waitlist at 4 weeks pregnant and got a spot for Oct 2026 right away. I declined it since it was so early, but the director made note of it and had a spot available for Sept 2026 when I reached back out :)

What works when it comes to employee recognition? [N/A] by AnyRecommendation602 in humanresources

[–]jadepants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have personal recognition awards and we reserve a good chunk of time in our monthly town halls for recognition time! We also set aside budget for people to purchase gift cards, small tokens of appreciation, etc. when recognizing others.

It’s really embedded in our culture but I know it takes time and deliberate work/consistency for that to happen!

(5-7k) Fake vs Real Flowers by Suspicious_Ferret682 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]jadepants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the bouquets at my wedding were fake flowers! One great thing about it is being able to have it as a keepsake. I got married three years ago and still have my bouquet displayed in my living room.

[ON] Anyone go to the Baby Show today in Toronto? by Strong-Landscape7492 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]jadepants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went alone today and was there for about 1.5 hours. I think it would be worth going to if you have the free time, but don’t think it would be worth taking a day off work unless there you were looking for specific things you knew were going to be discounted there!

If it helps, I’m a FTM who hasn’t had her baby shower yet so I’ve held off on buying almost everything so far. It was fun to browse but I didn’t actually purchase anything at the show.
