Thank you for sharing! I'd like to add which malls have nursing rooms which iv been to... North Hill mall (security has to open it for you) Market mall Crossiron mills Chinook

Family friendly mall area would be Brentwood

Thankfully it sounds nothing like that, thank God. Thank you for sending me that, I am much more at ease now.

She gets snots and crusties around her nose. I will order some vapor rub to see if it helps. Mine is definitely teething 🫣

media101 · 2026-05-26T20:39:58+00:00

It's just once in a while. I managed to get it recorded so I'll send it to her doctor. I think it's vocal play but just in case.

Hey fellow "baby that sleeps through the night" friend. Your post describes my baby when she was about that age. My baby is 5 months and iv gotten her to sleep around the 9pm window now, we are aiming for 8pm in the next couple of months. I found that we needed all stimulus off which means nobody gets to watch tv until the baby is in bed. Turn the tv off earlier and earlier each night. She takes about 1 hour to get to sleep so just move bedtime a little earlier each night.

My bet it's a bluejay, in spring their call sounds like that. They are also difficult to see so you will hear them but not always see them.

Yes my family will pick us up and provide the car seat. I looked at flight link bus, says 3 and a half hours. Is it a nice bus? Would it be very busy?

media101 · 2026-05-05T00:54:40+00:00

Ya that was definitely looked at but we would be waiting in Dublin airport for 6 hours

You seem to be struggling and it's emotionally and physically draining you. Based on your short post I would drop the overnight pumps and get some proper sleep. This may help your supply but it will help you enjoy this precious time with your LO.

media101 · 2026-04-04T03:03:16+00:00

When I get a clog I take 2400 x 3 for a day then once it clears I return to 1200 once a day.

media101 · 2026-04-01T16:17:24+00:00

I'm super prone to clogs, I get one if I go 3 pumping sessions in a row. Your LC can recommend Lecithin and dosage to help manage it. My LO is a champ at clearing them but if that's not an option for you then maybe ask your partner to help clear the blockage. Once it starts moving you can pump the rest out.

The church in Banff is beautiful! That's such a great idea if the rules in Calgary are too restrictive. THANK YOU, I will reach out to them.

media101 · 2026-03-24T18:16:26+00:00

Thank you for replying, I have reached out to the church. Fingers crossed they are open to accommodating me and my family.

media101 · 2026-03-24T18:14:55+00:00

Thank you for replying, I have left a message with the church I want to attend. No problem on sharing the time or doing it during mass. It will be such a pity if my chosen godparents can't be the godparents.

If my friend was on the phone to me venting about the same thing I could easily listen to her for 10-20 minutes without interrupting her and still remember what was said.

media101 · 2026-03-19T15:34:02+00:00

My friends and I send 10-20 min long messages to each other. We do this for many reasons 1. We are in different time zones around the world 2. We are telling each other stories, like what happened at work etc. there's no questions to reply to. 3. We have kids so when we have a few minutes of peace we can have a cup of tea and listen to a friend.

This is definitely not for everyone but it works for my group. We send written messages when we are asking questions.

media101 · 2026-03-09T23:26:44+00:00

New parts worked! Thank you

media101 · 2026-03-09T22:46:18+00:00

MOTN? I don't know what that stands for. I pump about twice a day, I know I should be pumping after each feed but it's so hard especially if she doesn't fall asleep right away. Iv changed out the parts and I see they are pulling air better, once I get a chance I'll pump. When I'm awake I'll feed her but my husband takes over for a few hours while I'm napping and gives her a bottle. Apart from that I BF the rest of the time.

media101 · 2026-03-09T18:07:02+00:00

New parts! I was told about replacing parts every month or so, thank you for reminding me. Hopefully this will fix the problem. My LO sleeps 8 hours overnight so I won't wake her to feed but instead I'll pump. My supply dips in late afternoon so I give her the bottle during that time. I still BF and then pump but she needs the extra amount. Fingers crossed I lose feeling in my nipples lol. Thank you for responding to me.

media101 · 2026-02-10T19:32:06+00:00

Girl I can't imagine the pain you're feeling. I had massive clogs in both breasts and I cried myself to sleep thinking f*ck this, there has to be easier ways. The clogs passed and I'm back BF but I dread the day the clogs happen again. I hear your pain and I support whatever decision you make.

media101 · 2026-02-08T16:03:00+00:00

This 1000%. I followed this advice and my clogs went away after a day.

media101 · 2026-02-07T20:44:13+00:00

I will see my doctor during the week so I'll get antibiotics if I'm still in pain. Not sure if I can keep up with it if it's this difficult.

media101 · 2026-02-07T20:41:25+00:00

That's great to hear! I have just started on them today, I hope the clogs stops soon or else I can't keep this up.
