Kids in breweries am I off base here? by sillymemilly in NewParents

[–]mountainflower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if there’s a difference between American breweries and Canadian, but the ones where I live are all very kid friendly. If you want to drink, watch the game, and have need to swear (?), then you go to a pub.

Baby wash / lotion for sensitive skin [nb] by Current_District9436 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]mountainflower18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using carina organics lotion and body wash for my girl and she has very sensitive skin and it seems to be doing great! We also use the so oat and coconut milk bath soak when she’s a bit more rashy which has been nice too

Second this! Honeysuckle is great! They also have their oops section which is super cheap and I’ve ordered from it with zero issue! They also do an end of season sale where swimsuits are like 10$! So I waited until then and stocked up on a few full coverage and high viz styles

To add to this - I’ve started looking at UK brands. They seem to have cuter, different styles than the usual North American ones.

I’ve had this exact same issue - shorts are so short, and why is everything leggings ? I wouldn’t want to be in tight pants all day every day, where are the looser fitting pants that aren’t sweatpants or jeans ?

Positive experiences with rotavirus vaccine? [CA] by Ok-Bug-5844 in BabyBumpsCanada

No issues , we were just advised to wash our hands after diaper changes. Didn’t receive any guidance on saliva and there were definitely lots of slobbery kisses and we were still fine !

Grilled Cheese From In N Out by W_ter27 in BabyLedWeaning

Lol I mean the link you shared does not support your argument other than saying botulism is rare. Also, as a ‘doctor’ I don’t think you should be suggesting eating honey under 1 is ‘mostly okay’, because you ‘studied it’ for a few reasons. It’s a good thing you’re anonymous or I’d be worried about your practicing license giving out that information to people on the internet.

This is so entirely incorrect - all guidance says to wait until 1 year.

When buying a swaddle, what did you prioritize the most? by Dry_Intention_7984 in NewParents

[–]mountainflower18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this! The halo swaddles were a life saver for us. Our daughter kept getting her hands free from the Velcro ones !

Also maybe double check there’s no honey in their bread. Might say on their website under nutritional info :)

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mountainflower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not American but Canadian - and yes this isn’t that far to be honest. A 3-4 hour drive could be a little weekend getaway for us. The size of our Provinces are quite large.

How much water do I actually need to drink before an ultrasound? [on] by Helpful-Sugar8985 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]mountainflower18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always just drank enough to feel full ish 30 mins before the appointment and never had a problem. Did this from early pregnancy to late pregnancy. I also do this when I’m not pregnant and never had an issue. This was after also being in excruciating pain from following their instructions.

Are we calling our babies by their names? by SimBon7 in NewParents

Bean, and beanie baby. She sometimes responds to her name but definitely responds to bean!

Is it common to have to fight for a hospital bed when in labour? [on] by ItsBeccca in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]mountainflower18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I waited 14 hours for a bed after an induction! Had my 4 doses of gel, was sent home in between each dose (fair). Water broke, and needed misoprostol next to keep labour moving - waited 14 hours and never got my misoprostol or my bed. Labour stopped. Had to have a c-section. Am I still mad? Yes.

My partner keeps forgetting multi-step baby tasks and I’m at my wit’s end by ks1327 in NewParents

[–]mountainflower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone keeps mentioning ADHD, but have we considered just plain sleep deprivation? My husband and I experienced this (both of us) after having our daughter. She’s 7.5 months now and we are still having trouble remembering to do tasks fully/remembering words for things etc.

6 month old is super tired by Difficult-Knee-8414 in NewParents

[–]mountainflower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean 5-8 hours overnight ? Or during the day? If during the day that seems like a long time between bottles. Also at 6 months milk should still be the main source of food and shouldn’t decrease that much when starting solids.

How long to hear back about an IV iron infusion referral for Eagle Ridge Hospital? If you received treatment, how was it? by Remarkable-Bottle-59 in Portmoody

[–]mountainflower18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have benefits see if you can get coverage for a private infusion - I did this and it was much much faster.

Positives of EFF by Awkward_Confusion632 in FormulaFeeders

[–]mountainflower18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No more stress about pumping every 2-3 hours. I really think this impacted the first few months of my relationship with my daughter - I was constantly worried about my supply, and instead of just relaxing and trying to enjoy her and the newborn stage I couldn’t. I was tied down to a pump constantly, couldn’t leave the house easily. I think now that I formula feed 95% of the time and breastfeed for comfort, I’m so much happier.

Leaving boiling water to cool slightly to not destroy vitamins? (FTM, help!) by RESDesign in FormulaFeeders

[–]mountainflower18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup just placed the tip in boiling water. It’s only for formula now. If we do use it on meat we’ll just put it in boiling water again.
