Diaper bag at BMO field?

Hiya TFC local fans! I am attending my first game at BMO field soon and plan to bring my 6month old. I know there are bag requirements for BMO, but looking to hear from those of you who have attended games with babies, how did you make a diaper bag work?!

travelling within canada with infant

Hello! I'm looking at booking a trip Halifax - Toronto, but am having difficulty figuring out if Flair does gate check for strollers or if they have to be checked in at the counter with checked bags only.

Do they get a allotted bag oon board too?

Interested to hear other experiences travelling Flair with infants!

Fit check ring sling

All feedback welcome! I’m very motivated to learn this thrifted kyte ring sling.

Two attempts:
- first one I wasn’t sure if the seat was good enough, also unsure about her leg comfort just based on what I see. She seemed to be comfy based on her demeanour.
- second attempt I was able to get more fabric under her but I was still unsure about her leg placement

Our current carrier is ergo embrace which she is starting to fuss in both because we are outgrowing it and because she wants to turn around to look at the world!

Help me choose!

Edit for visibility- help me choose linen ring sling vs 100% cotton!

My sweet chunky 10week old is quickly growing out of our ergobaby embrace and I’m on the hunt for our next carrier.

We were given the ergobaby omni 360 which I have heard is hot to wear.

Where I live is hot and humid , even in morning and evening, so I feel the omni might need to wait for fall?

I’m going to continue to avoid going out in the heat for walks in the heat of the day but would love a carrier that is more comfortable in the humidity got it early morning/night walks.

I have found the Kyte linen ring sling, and a 100% cotton ring sling on Facebook marketplace - which of these would you recommend?!

Any other favourite carriers for people in hot places?!

Vaccinated people near unvaccinated children

Wasn’t sure which tag to choose as I am struggling to find research myself- but would also love research links too!

In an emotionally tricky spot here regarding visiting family from overseas.

I am a parent to a soon to be 3month old.

My partner has family visiting from overseas this summer whose children are not vaccinated (a toddler and 10yr old). We agree that I nor our child will be near this family. I’ve never met them and have no problem just bluntly not seeing them at all. I also don’t have any friends or family who are unvaccinated so don’t really know how to approach the rest of these complications…

The family will be living with my partner’s parents for the duration of their visit (3weeks). My partner hasn’t seen this family in over a decade and understandably is sad to not be able to spend time with them, especially the 10yr who idolizes him.

We have agreed that no one living in that house during the time they are visiting will be in contact with the baby.

I am looking to understand :
- how long after the visit should we remain distanced from grandparents
- what the level of risk would be for my partner to for example spent a weekend doing outside activities with the 10yr old if I left for that weekend with the baby. And how many days after this contact is reasonable to remain then distanced from partner

We unfortunately know basically nothing about the family’s lifestyle or social circle in their home country other than that there is a reasonably large population of unvaccinated people. My understanding from conversations over the years is that the 10yr old has contracted some illnesses (?chicken pox, possibly measles, Covid).

Thank you!

Fitness classes while baby wearing

Would love any recommendations for fitness classes that are run with baby wearing in mind! I’m down for basically any type of exercise, I just have not had much success with classes that assume your baby will just happily chill on the floor while you work out 😅

Fit check- boppy wrap!

I thrifted this boppy comfort fit wrap and followed some YouTube videos.
Baby is 11lbs 6oz
Please give me some feedback. I found it difficult to adjust, couldn’t get baby sitting evenly but she seems to do this in other carriers too.

“You can’t over feed a BF baby”… but?

I am a first time mom with a beautiful healthy 5 week old baby girl who was back at birthweight by week 2. We have been on our ups and downs breast feeding journey but have been figuring it out :)

Over the last few weeks she has been spitting up large volumes immediately following a feed. Like soak her onesie , cover my shirt amounts of liquid. For her first 3 weeks she hardly spit up at all, so this has been a dramatic change! It doesn’t happen all the time but has happened at least one a day or two times a day for the last week or two.

I want to feed on demand and honour her feeding cures, but sometimes she seems to be looking for the boob an hour or less after a feed. But sometimes she just spots up that much anyways!

Would love any insight or thoughts before we see our doc next week!
