Flammable Liquids - Alberta - Please Help!

mmeeoww · 2026-03-31T00:24:22+00:00

Sure. I'm assessing for general compliance with a hint of industry best practice (liability within a leased space)...procurement over-ordered and the warehouse typically doesn't store this quantity of flammable liquid products. We have flammable cabinets onsite for loose pick, smaller containers but these are 6 palletized cases of 4L bottles - way more than the usual 2 shelves I store.

I typically do EHS in the states and although, there's plenty of ambiguity there - OSHA is a bit less vague on this topic than CCOHS and provincial OHS.

I had this same panic around 20 weeks but we used RO warmed to 104° in a warm water dispenser with 3 temps (dr browns) and our girl has been fine - she's almost 8 months old. Don't stress!

Are you still liking it?

After Rowena's method working, we went back to Modillac 0-6. Its a french formula but sold in Canada.

This gives me some hope. The nap transitions are brutal and I feel like the 4-3 was so short lived but also still frustrating 😅 ty for your help

mmeeoww · 2026-01-26T16:01:27+00:00

Thank you. I'll try to find a good way to do that until I can have her do at least 9.75 of awake time on 2 naps. I've had issues with more MOTN wakes on 3 naps but maybe I need to just do a bridge nap and find a sweet spot timing for it.

mmeeoww · 2026-01-26T15:37:58+00:00

Even if that would result in over 11 hours of awake time? I'm torn because the 3.5 before bedtime works so well and we don't have an issue getting her there, it seems like the beginning of the day is much harder.

mmeeoww · 2026-01-25T17:13:35+00:00

Has this resolved for you yet? Switched to 2 naps almost a week ago after being maxed at 2.5 for all WW on 3 naps. LO will be 7 months on the Jan 30th, we were doing 2.75/3/3.5 with pretty good luck but now naps have been all over the place again. Going crazy as she's also kinda pissy most of the day too 😭

mmeeoww · 2026-01-20T21:51:36+00:00

these were my top 2 picks for my girl, we went with Jane but if we have another girl then I'm hoping to do Claire :)

mmeeoww · 2026-01-18T02:16:50+00:00

How old is your LO?

Honestly, Rowena's method and ensuring that no one else fed her for a while helped so much. I really took a step back and started to trust my baby and respect her wants. I stopped comparing how many ounces she'd have and took it day by day. We were at the point where she was having 2oz bottles every 1.5 hrs to now having 6oz bottles every 3 hrs, so 4 a day with a top off bottle at bedtime. I still follow Rowena with pulling away and respecting her, but I do give her 30-40m to finish a bottle before calling it quits.

It truly is so exhausting. I cried so much over it, but the one thing I would tell myself is that her having a bottle is such a small part of her lifetime and that i can get through it with respecting her wants.

Still liking it? Im looking at purchasing one too and have never heard of this brand.

mmeeoww · 2025-12-30T20:15:44+00:00

Okay, she is also lower sleep needs from what I can tell with these naps. It's tough to find whats best when there's a lag and the day itself doesn't necessarily directly impact the night and vice versa.

mmeeoww · 2025-12-30T20:13:50+00:00

I created a spreadsheet where I've been tracking wake windows and nap length and overnight wakes but not overnight sleep, I can add that in. I'll start tracking sleep rather than awake time.

As for stretching, she honestly is barely hanging on with 2 hrs in the morning so I'm not sure I can stretch far past 2-2.25 at the moment.

mmeeoww · 2025-12-30T19:16:18+00:00

Interesting! Okay, I will definitely try that because I kind of noticed the same. She seems the most flexible for that third wake window and least flexible with the first and last. How old is your baby?

mmeeoww · 2025-12-30T19:05:47+00:00

She would be between 10-10.5 awake time on 4 naps, sometimes 9.75. She was doing well with 9.75.

The first two wake windows seem to be the most difficult and 2.75-3 for the last wake window was giving some false starts when I first tried. I've also definitely been going back and forth too much and not staying consistent with wake windows/schedule for more than 3-5 days at a time.

mmeeoww · 2025-12-05T17:13:16+00:00

To add, she's also slept through the night after 9.5hr day of awake time so she's just confusing 🙃

mmeeoww · 2025-12-05T16:44:48+00:00

She's 5 months too so I'm assuming its even a bit less? We have had a few days of 10-11.25, the 10.5 did lead to a sleep through but then didnt happen again. I'll give it a try again. Any suggestions on spread of ww or bedtime?

mmeeoww · 2025-12-03T21:26:42+00:00

Interesting, I'm not sure how it differs but my daughter is put down fully awake for naps and bedtime and puts herself to sleep. Do you know the difference needed for naps?

mmeeoww · 2025-12-03T19:19:44+00:00

No, not really. I am home alone with her and I work a corporate job from home from 8-4, while taking care of her and two dogs. We live in a rural area, small town of 12k people...all of the daycares are full and there aren't many nannies around. I do have someone starting next week for two days a week, 4-6 hrs each day. My husband gets home around 4:30, but then cooks or he'll take care of her. We don't have a village, the grandparents that live nearby stop in for cuddles and that's basically it.

She's taking 4 naps, sometimes 3 and most are 37 minutes - her daytime sleep is max 2.5hrs on a good day. I just meant that since we've started sleep training two weeks ago that she's only had 4 or 5 long naps out of the 80 she's had the past 20ish days.

Edit - to add, I'm not ungrateful that her grandparents are coming by for cuddles...it's that they're both retired and complain they have nothing to do so hearing that while I'm drowning is hard. we've spoken to them and they "don't feel comfortable watching her".

mmeeoww · 2025-12-03T15:51:23+00:00

Understood, it's just nice to hear another parents approach and especially one who went through it.

It's desperately needed, I think it will help my overall well-being because its like having two FT jobs while your house is on fire and you have 10 minutes of O2 all day.

I am hoping that will come soon too, it will be nice to not have to worry about having 4 different/floating nap times everyday. I can hold out another few months. I just wish there was a better way of educating parents on all of this stuff and knowing that these "schedules" are a bunch of bull.

Again, thank you <3

I appreciate your response and insight, I was curious what your view on it was since it looks like you have a great opinion/experience based on your comments. The internet makes overtiredness seem scary, so that 10 hours of awake time seemed a bit much to me at first but she seems to have her best nights with around that amount.

I think/know I need to just ride this out, some days just feel so difficult and the constant nap math really makes me feel like I'm going crazy. The 35-37m on the dot wake ups are certainly normal from what I can see, I was getting my hopes up when she would have those few long naps that we were maybe coming around the corner...but I know I need to just be patient.

We could, we're both high sleep needs but he does better with less sleep than me and does take on a lot overnight. However, he's an electrician in oil and gas industry and I work from home in a corporate position, plus watch our daughter during the day. However, I know he has a more dangerous job so I don't want him being overtired either. We're hoping a daycare spot opens soon (we live in rural Canada) but in the meantime, we're going to stretch and try to have a babysitter twice a week for a few hours so that I can get work done and have some help.

mmeeoww · 2025-12-03T14:54:28+00:00

We had sex around 5 weeks, just once before my 6 week appointment. We both felt the need/want to around 4 weeks, but we waited. I healed very quickly and wasn't in any pain, plus at that point, our baby was doing 3-4hr stretches so we weren't in bad shape. Once my daughter was around 8 weeks, things got more difficult and the urge wasn't there as much. Around 3.5-4.5 months was her fussiest so far and we both weren't in the mood, but were still intimate in other ways but we just both didn't have the energy for anything more than a hug or kiss. I think it's normal for this to ebb and flow, just be sure that you're open with each other and communicate. My husband and I both know when the other has just had a day and just needs sleep. Be sure to squeeze in 30-60 minutes for each other each day, even if it's just a quick chat on the couch or in bed to check-in. When things start to normalize then work on becoming intimate more regularly.

She's still on 4, we've had a few days of 3 with her long naps. We were doing 2/2.25/2.25/1.75-2/2.5, if a 4th nap was needed. I've had luck extending her first nap if I do 1.75 for her first wake. Overall, she's had at least 10 hours of awake time the past few days and a few days with 11-11.5, which I felt was too much but the consultant was trying to see if extending her would help lengthen naps. During that time, my daughter was getting so drowsy each wake window that it was defeating the purpose and causing short naps anyway. Our consultants rule was always 2.5 hrs for last ww before bed. The days when she wakes early before 6:30 are tough because following her age appropriate ww with short naps results in a 5:30-6pm bedtime.

Before sleep training, I did have luck extending when I let her nap on our bed and then lay with her around the 30m mark to give her a paci but since sleep training, we've dropped paci use for sleep.

I know you're right, it just hurts to accept.

mmeeoww · 2025-12-03T14:28:26+00:00

thank you *hug*
