@musicoceanview34 Did your medical team give you the all clear before you resumed having sex? You say you missed the first month so just want to be sure you were prioritizing your health and do so moving forward. Regardless, please stop taking Plan B as a regular form of extra birth control...

@trinity15 Baby is too small - starts at 12lbs

@joojaa Haha ok, that explains it! Ford is leading us down the same path, fingers crossed things turn around over there!

@joojaa Oof what province are you? I’m in Ontario and thought it was rough for my not yet 4yo to start full day kinder last September (anyone turning 4 in the calendar year starts junior kinder, those turning 5 start senior) but I could not imagine trying to juggle 1/2 days.

@mystichaze For all that is holy and sacred and of any value in this world, DO NOT WAKE THE BABY TO FEED!!! At 5 months, he will absolutely wake when he’s hungry (ie during growth spurts), so do NOT feel bad! ~ signed, mom of a 3.5 YEAR OLD who rarely sleeps 10 hours but was only sleeping 1-2...

@jamesmic This one and this one. Just links to resources. ETA: this one too

@umaid Assuming you’re I Canada based on departing location so: The CPSTs on Safe Seats for Kids Discussion Group on FB can offer some excellent resources on why this is completely unsafe for a baby. If you cannot get anything here, I highly recommend you join the group and post there. Good luck!

@dependingonhisgrace For sure! This one and this one. Just links to resources. ETA: this one too

@crossbearer007 Totally depends on the country. Health Canada recently updated their regulations for playards and manufacturers didn’t all upgrade the products to meet the requirements. They’ve also recently started to include notes about if they are used for sleeping, how to use them. If the...

@trojie Hot damn BroMo, my heart breaks for you. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Your son is an angel that may be done from this world but he lives in and is not forgotten. Please, you are one of us, never doubt that. Keep reaching out when you need, holy hell I cannot fathom your loss.

@bubba8099 My daughter was born December 2018, was just over a year old when there pandemic hit. I always wanted two or more but…. L&D complications and partner issues also made me realize it just CAN’T happen for my own health. I grieved the idea of the family I grew up thinking I’d have but...

@ajay004 Not scientific but an overview of the differences between US and Canadian midwives Based on that, Canadian midwives have a higher degree of education and are more equivalent to American certified nurse midwives which delivery typically in hospitals. My concern with comparing outcomes...

@kjv4me I am pretty sure the requirements to be one a Canadian midwife vs a US midwife are very different as well so something to keep in mind when comparing to US outcomes.

@moonlightlaura Agree and that is definitely on the reader. I personally liked the article as it pooled links to articles that I was able to read myself (my Googling skills for studies and research papers is ballz haha) but it seems many don’t go beyond the summary which was never intended to...

@moonlightlaura I clearly stated that I was not referring to just this thread. I’ve seen this topic pop up a lot on this sub and have seen comments from the author on this, the OG mod even had to ban people for what they were saying to the author if I recall perfectly (it may have just been a...

@monchito But the author did not intend for it to. They literally wrote it as a DM to someone asking info on the sub when they messaged and then kept getting asked to send it to others. It became easier to put it on a website and link it. The author is in no way responsible for how often it...

@monchito The author is not going to doxx themselves on Reddit, especially given the hate that is often spewed over an article (not just talking this thread, there have been many of these). Edit: typo Eta: since people are either downvoting because someone on Reddit doesn’t want to doxx...

@nathandavis For me, being one and done is more than just the pregnancy and about parenting in general which lasts a life time. So, if your case, no, you are not one and done as you have two kids. Think there is a two and done sub though.

@glbpellum Any option to maybe have grandma come to where the wedding is and watch your girl during the wedding festivities but still have her with you at night? Grandma can order in takeout and enjoy some bonding time with grand baby without worrying about having to clean up after anything, and...
