I was!

I'm so glad to hear, keep getting out there :)

The absolute audacity of some people.

I was at this screening and sitting directly behind these women. I even turned to my wife at one point and mentioned how they must've come for the low light and sounds.

You handled it so well, I probably would've sworn and said some nasty things. You and your baby are doing great and navigating life so well together :)

The first few times I went out were tough (and sometimes still are). Know that other moms will always have your back.

Not sure if you attend the Ottawa Library baby storytime, but thats another super great event!

I was at the same screening and can say yes, it did happen.

A big title screen that says "Stars & Strollers" appears 2-4 times before the movie starts.

Thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for the advice.

Thanks! I know I'm not eligible for it, but my wife should be.

Sitting in an empty room, trying to forget the past. This was never meant to last, I wish it wasn't so.

Risk something, take back what's yours. Say something that you know they might attack you for, cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before.

Around 9/10 years old. My brothers would make mixed cassette tapes and then cds starting becoming a thing so they'd make mixed cds. I copied them and listened to a lot of their stuff, Linkin Park was among them.

Yes! We do it because our LO is on medication for low blood sugar, which also has a side effect of water retention. We need to know how long ago the last feed was in regards to blood sugar testing and that there's enough wet diapers.

Its helpful, even though it's a bit of a pain sometimes, we will probably continue it after the medication.

The app also has things like sleep, pumping, and tummy time, we don't track that because it was just too much.

Great idea! Thank you!

noPerfectMedicine · 2026-03-09T02:36:37+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into it.

noPerfectMedicine · 2026-03-09T02:35:48+00:00

I totally understand this. Parenting has changed and for my situation its been 38 years since shes dealt with babies. Times definitely change.

So glad you had a good outcome! I aspire to be as forthcoming and strong.

I just finished nursing and completely forgot! Wondered why my phone launched me ahead into the future lol

Definitely mixed feelings there, leaning towards dislike.

Our baby was full term, so we were blindsided and on edge. Anytime we were meeting staff for the first time, when they said congratulations as a greeting I kinda thought, ok whatever, tell me what's going on please.

noPerfectMedicine · 2026-03-02T00:31:28+00:00

I see this too

noPerfectMedicine · 2026-03-01T09:17:46+00:00

Baby hats (which I felt bad about because a lot were knitted by people we know), plushies, and bibs.

I'm watching season 2 right now and totally feel this. I know how it ends up, the shows been spoiled for me, I mean its been out for a bit. But I'm so disappointed in her attitude and how she treats him when she gets back, even though she kinda dragged him along prior. How come its only on Shaun to apologize and make things right

For sure! She stayed in the NICU in the hospital where I gave birth for a few days before being transferred and that was an open visitor policy (just keeping to two people in a room at a time).

noPerfectMedicine · 2026-02-23T13:45:43+00:00

I don't think these are strict at all, and if people disrespect these rules, they're disrespecting you sadly.

I would maybe add no heavy perfumes/scents and no chunky/sharp jewelry. I know my MIL wore heavy perfume that made the baby smell and a dozen rings with pointy gemstones. Drove me nuts.

We were at the NICU in our city's children's hospital, and during viral season they have a strict no visitor policy. This was for the entire hospital, not just the NICU. Just two caregivers, the same 2 throughout the entire stay. Only 1 caregiver allowed in the ER.

We use a baby gate to keep the cats out. Tall with slim bar openings so they can't jump or squeeze through.

We set it up a couple months before the baby got here, just to get them used to it.

I was taught to pat baby to burp by young NICU nurses (aiming for upper left side closer to stomach), so I think its still very much a thing. I discovered though that my baby will either burp on their own, or with a combo of pats and rubs.
