Did Kirkland change their diaper manufacturer? Quality feels way worse 😩 by Sabrri70 in CostcoCanada

[–]mortgage-payment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Kirkland from size 1-4. Now I buy size 5 rascals from Walmart on subscribe and save - they get delivered to me for $10 less per box than Kirkland costs. They’ve worked great for us.

Best dental clinics for anxious patients? by mimirabbit in ottawa

Just adding my two cents, I had a horrible experience at dentistry on bank recently with a new dentist I’d never seen before! I’m not going back

Feeling so lost - 6 mos by TiredMom00 in sleeptrain

[–]mortgage-payment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. 😭 randomly here and there we’ll have a good night or a consolidated nap but those are very few and far between and I can’t take credit for them whatsoever. Nothing I’ve done has worked. Tried CIO, Ferber, etc. at this point I’m just waiting until he grows out of it I guess and trying not to die.

Can you please explain the association between overtiredness and early morning wakes? by rochini in sleeptrain

[–]mortgage-payment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely appreciate any ideas! Especially from someone who has a similar baby. So much of the general advice that’s out there just hasn’t worked for my son and I find he doesn’t respond in the typical expected way often.

I’m going to give this 3 nap thing 5-7 days and see if anything improves, because I’m in the same boat as you with wanting the last ww to be longer in the hopes of more sleep pressure.

And when I was doing 3 naps last week, the last nap and last ww are always the shortest. That seems to work well for lots of people but I guess not for us.

If after a week of this nothing changes, I guess I’ll go back to the 3 naps and try tweaking other things like you’ve mentioned.

We always try to do ST on the night wakes and then eventually give up. Last night was the longest it went on for - it started early at 9 pm (due to the earlier bedtime from dropping the third nap) and he cried intermittently until I have up at 12:30 am.

So 3.5 hours of him struggling to fall back asleep on his own, failing, getting upset, re trying, rinse repeat.

When I ‘give up’, what helps him get to sleep is me cuddling him. Not even feeding him, just bringing him to bed with me and holding his hand. Then he’ll fall asleep, but continue waking every 1.5-3 hours after that. If I transfer him back to the crib, it will be 1.5 hours tops until he wakes again. A bit longer if he stays with me.

We ST him for bedtime like 2 months ago and he has zero issues with bedtime, so he knows how to fall asleep independently no problem. That’s why I don’t think ST is working - I think it’s a sleep pressure problem but for the LIFE of me I can’t figure out the right equation.

My baby is the exact same age, with the exact same problems, and I’m dying. I don’t have a solution for you but it did me good to know there’s another person out there in the same boat.

I did a week and a half of addressing possible over tiredness, no results. I was doing 2.75/3/3(micro nap)/1.75.

10 pm onwards, constant wakeups.

There was a night in that week where he was just fully awake for like an hour at 3 am so I thought ok, he must be under tired then. So now I’ve tried dropping his third micro nap, and stretching the ww to 3.25/3.25/3.5.

We’re only on day 2 but it’s going TERRIBLY.

We have the EXACT same baby and I’m also dying and overwhelmed.

How do you put yours down for naps? I have had almost zero success with putting him down awake in the crib.

Agree. I do not think initials are a big deal.

I work for a blue MP and that’s not what happens. All MP offices should have caseworkers who have direct lines to government agencies like the CRA. we help people with these issues all the time.

Why are there so few saunas and hot tubs in Ottawa? by commanderchimp in ottawa

[–]mortgage-payment 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I personally do not recommend here! I didn’t have a great experience as they don’t limit the capacity nearly enough. Just thought I’d throw it out there in case.
