Is anyone traveling from Canada to Cancún today or tomorrow? need medication for my baby [on]

Hi everyone,
Is anyone traveling from Canada to Cancún today or tomorrow?
Our baby is under 1 year old and has a bad cold. Unfortunately, during airport security we lost the pouch that had all of his nasal care supplies, including HydraSense saline drops/spray and our nasal aspirator (suction).
If anyone is coming from Canada and would be willing to bring these items, we would be incredibly grateful. We are staying at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Cancún and can meet you at the hotel or another convenient location. Of course, I’ll reimburse the cost of the items.
Please send me a DM if you can help. Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! We’re celebrating my baby girl’s first birthday while staying in the Hotel Zone in Cancun. I’m planning to order a birthday cake locally.
Any recommendations for bakeries or hotels that make good custom cakes? Also, any tips or things I should watch out for when ordering (delivery, payment, timing, etc.)?
Thanks in advance!

how to travel without checkin bag with a month old ? [On]

I made a mistake by not reading it's a code share flight and we cannot pre-purchase any baggage and if you have to buy for the airport, it's hundred dollars one way

We’re flying to Mexico with Air Transat and our fare doesn’t include a carry-on or checked bag for baby(only diaper bag) We’ll only have personal items and our carry ons and are travelling with an infant.🥲🥲

Any tips for fitting baby essentials into such a small space? Also, what baby items can easily be bought in the Hotel Zone instead of packing them from Canada? Things like diapers, wipes, baby snacks, formula, etc.

Thanks!

booked a last-minute stay at Blue Mountain Village and heading there with my 11-month-old. Tips? [On]

Hey everyone, booked a last-minute stay at Blue Mountain Village and heading there with my 11-month-old.

Bringing a mini instant pot to make some simple meals, but I’d love any practical tips for lunch/dinner while we’re there—what worked for your little ones?

Also any baby-friendly food spots in the village or easy grocery options nearby would be really helpful. And if there are any must-do’s or things to avoid with a baby around that ag

Good straw cups for milk and smoothies? Free flow[on]

Hey everyone, my 11-month-old baby's doctor has advised us to switch from bottle teats to straw or sippy cups. I've tried the Munchkin cups, but the X valve makes it super hard to suck - I even tried it myself and couldn't get a single drop out lol, poor baby!
Can anyone recommend free-flow straw cups that can hold milk and water?
Like thick straw easy flow (slit valve)

Vacation on baby's first birthday? [on]

Thinking of taking our baby on her first birthday trip this summer and trying to decide what kind of vacation makes the most sense with a little one 😅

We’re debating between an all-inclusive resort vs a more city-style vacation. Main goal is honestly to relax a bit while still making some nice memories as a family.

I know summer isn’t considered the best season for the Caribbean because of heat/rain/hurricane season, but the convenience of an all-inclusive with a baby sounds really tempting.

For parents who’ve travelled with babies around 1 year old:
- Did you prefer all-inclusives or regular hotels/city trips?
- Which destinations felt easiest with a baby?
- Any places that were surprisingly stressful?
- Was the Caribbean still worth it in summer?
- Any resorts/destinations you’d especially recommend for a first family trip?
Thinking of taking Costco packages

Would love honest advice before we book something 🙏

I’m honestly fed up at this point. My dishwasher keeps leaving food particles on dishes even after I’ve cleaned it multiple times. Using afresh tablets

MODEL NO:
MODEL / MODÈLE : LDS5040WW
D1435WB.ABWEECI

I checked the bottom area (attached pic), but I can’t clearly figure out where the filter is or how to remove it. I’ve tried wiping around and cleaning what I can see, but it’s still not fixing the issue. CAN SOMEONE ANNOTATE FOR ME FOR FILTER PLS

Has anyone dealt with this before?
Where exactly is the filter in this type of dishwasher and how do I take it out properly?

Any help would be really appreciated 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m a new mom to a 10-month-old and currently working as a graphic designer in Canada, with experience collaborating with major brands. My husband is a Chartered Accountant from India and is currently working in real estate credit lending.

We are Canadian citizens and considering a move to Dubai. At this stage, schools are not a concern since our baby is still very young. We’re mainly trying to understand the practical side of relocating with an infant.

For those who have made a similar move:
MOST IMP QUES- Are schools reimbursed by your employer? if yes what positions?
- Was it worth relocating with a young baby, especially to avoid the Canadian winters?
- Did you secure a job before moving, or did you move first and then search?
- Would you recommend that one partner (my husband) move first and settle in before the family joins?
- Is work culture v toxic ?
-

We are also thinking about whether it makes sense to sell everything here before moving or take a more gradual approach.

Any insights, experiences, or advice would be really helpful. Thank you!
