My 3 year old is driving me crazy at bed time. He goes to bed SO late! He absolutely refuses to lay in bed until he can’t keep his eyes open. Or if I do get him to lay in bed, we read books endlessly, he jumps and climbs on me, and laughs. Don’t get me wrong, I love the play and book reading but last 2-3 nights I’m so tired I want to go to bed at 9 and I try to get him down but he won’t go to sleep. If I walk out of the room and try to leave in the room, he follows me out and tries to run to the toys and start playing. I think he’s ready to drop his nap but not quite there yet either. He hasn’t been able to make it past 4-5pm (yet.) Anyone experience this? Any advice?

My 2.5 year old boy is suddenly afraid of so many things. I understand it’s a normal stage. But out of nowhere today he freaks out from flies. He runs to me and wants to be held. I have a 9 month old as well both are home with me and I may not always be able to immediately comfort him and talk him through it. Any advice on how your babies got through this stage ? Things to say to help them understand flies are nothing to be afraid of? TIA !

My kids are 2 and 4 months. 4 month old sleeps pretty good most nights. Last night she went to bed at 8, woke up at 130 ate and went right back. Shortly after 2 year old woke up crying for mama. Go to his room. He goes back to sleep. Back to my room. 340am baby is tossing around (sleeping in the room with me) til 530. Finally kind of stopped. Husband wakes up for work 545. 🥲 thank god we have an espresso machine. I don’t know how to help my 2 year old stop waking up crying. It started about a month ago. It’s not every single night but pretty frequently. We think it’s because of the baby. Anyone go through this? How long did it last?

Currently in the market to buy. Glencoe is an option as job is in Strathroy. It is much more affordable for the family but wondering if anyone knows if it’s a good town? TIA!

Hi,

I haven’t had my hair done since July 2020 and am getting desperate. I do want to get it done but need some reassurance? Has anyone had theirs done? They said their dye does have small trace of ammonia and asked if I’m comfortable with it. I don’t know am I?? Should I not be ?? I didn’t do my hair during my first pregnancy which is why I’m going back and forth on it this time.

I want to do 1 full colour but they’d have to apply it twice because I had balayage done last time and it’s really grown out.

TIA!

Hi everyone ! I am new here and I am looking for advice. I had balayage done beginning of august. I was supposed to get my hair done by one of my friends but we just haven’t been able to meet up (currently in lockdown.) But half my hair is now virgin hair and the other half the bleached part. What will happen if I put in one single colour ? Like a medium brown? Dying for a change...

TIA :)

Not sure if this belongs here. My little dude is 13 months. Since I gave birth, my hips have been cracking and popping a lot. It’s gotten progressively worse and worse. I can be sitting down and if I lean forward it locks. I have to keep leaning forward until it “pops” and it feels better after. I will call my dr tomorrow just to see what he says but anyone else experiencing or experienced this PP?

Hello, my son is 11 months and has been on a 2 nap schedule since he was 6-7 months. I’ve struggled with an early bed time with him since the dawn of time. Usually he’s asleep 9-10pm. 9 most of the time but 10 sometimes if I don’t cut his naps short. I feel if I change him to one nap it’ll help with earlier bed time. However, yesterday he refused his morning nap on time and was awake 830-1215. Slept 1215-145 at my friends house. On our way home I was hopeful he’d take a cat nap in the car ride back to help him make it to 8. He didn’t. I put him down at 7pm. He woke up around 8 crying I cuddled him he fell asleep. He was tossing and turning til around 9. Then he woke up and refused to go back

Hello, my son will be 10 months in a week. He’s always napped well but night sleep has been a struggle. He did well 7-9 months and this past month has been all over the place. The last 3 nights have been VERY hard and I’m exhausted. He still sleeps with a pacifier. The last 3 nights I’ve gotten up to put it back like 300 times (exaggerating but it feels this way.) Has anyone else gone through this? Any advice?? Help?? TIA

I don’t know how to start this I’m just so incredibly sad and frustrated and my best friend is due in a couple of weeks so I don’t want to stress her out with my problems which is why I’m here.

My son is a chunkier boy. He’s always been. He’s extremely healthy. Never once did we have any health issues (knock on wood.) yesterday my husband came home and his parents were here. He made a comment that I should feed him less because he’s fat. He is 8 months so I snapped and said, “you did not just ask me to put an 8 month old baby on a diet.”

Anyway today his mom is here and I fed him some solids 1hr ago he didn’t eat much and he’s not drinking much of his formula. So I made 120ml for him bef

I am in search of a baby carrier. I’d like one that’s easy to put on alone. My son likes being carried in the back position. I have one but it’s impossible to put on alone which is why I’d like one that’s simple and easy to put on. TIA!!

I’m always sad and upset. The pregnancy was not planned and I was definitely in a shock at first but I love my little man and I can’t wait to meet him.

My partner is great but we all have our flaws that makes us us.. so far he’s seen this whole pregnancy as “baby is coming so time to get all my drinking and smoking out.” I went from going out almost every weekend having wine on weekdays after work to unwind etc. to not drinking or smoking the moment I found I was pregnant. It was fine at first but it’s getting harder the closer I get to the end of my pregnancy and I feel like a horrible human being for it. Anyways, the last 2 weekends he decided to drink and party (we were out together)

I have really bad pain in my lower back which is making it really hard for me to sleep. I toss and turn all night long plus waking up to pee in the middle of the night isn’t helping my situation either. I know I can’t help my bladder problem but is there anything that helps you sleep a little better ? Or do I just have to suffer and suck it up for the next few months?

I’ve known my SO for a few years. We started dating in April. He’s told me things from his past and I appreciate his honesty. He was seeing a girl that he knocked up and he told her that he didn’t love her and even if she kept the child, it wouldn’t make him fall in love with her but he’d be there for her for every step of the way. She decided to get an abortion however, she ended up having a miscarriage before she went to that appointment. He talks to her occasionally and I’m having a hard time accepting that someone from his past is still in his life. She asked him to hook up in may (a month after we started dating) but he told her he’s with me now.

I just don’t know how to let go and
