March 2025 Babies 🇨🇦

Hi everyone! I’m brand new to this group (literally joined today) and thought I’d reach out. Anyone based in Markham here? I’m always looking to make new mom friends because none of my friends have had babies yet so I’ve been trying to make the effort to meet other moms where I can. The 8 month sleep regression is currently kicking my butt 😅 not to mention the past 8 months of sleep issues on top of that…

Been a rough month starting with a double ear infection and then two bottom teeth came out. This week baby also got her second round of shots. I do not know what she is fussy about anymore! 😅 My first baby had her first tooth much later, so I was not expecting this so early. Anyone else in the same boat? (I am not complaining, just looking to spark conversation 😊)

My son recently has been having an occasional cough I have found it’s worse now that it’s been so hot and with a heat warning that we are spending more time inside unless it’s a pool day or short walk. I have read that the dry air/AC can cause a cough… has anyone else had this happen?

I’m looking into a humidifier for his room so see if that helps but if anyone have any suggestions it would be appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Currently my baby is sleeping from 7:30pm-6:00am and fusses from 1am-5am usually. We’ve tried doing overnight feeds and dropping them and nothing seems to work.

She’s already gotten pretty good at self soothing and usually needs a tiny bit of help from me to fall asleep. After 7:30pm, she practically takes herself to sleep lol

We’re also having a problem with extending naps. She can go two hours after her first morning bottle if I let her, but every other nap is max 45 minutes. Her wake window right now is 1h, and she’s pretty miserable the whole time if she only sleeps 45 minutes. Trying to get her to 90 minutes is near impossible because she goes into hysterics. During her naps, by the time she’s stirring and I make it to her room, she’s already fully awake and won’t go back to sleep.

How have you all been extending naps and stopping overnight fussing? She does use a pacifier but she’s not obsessed with it.

Hi amazing moms! I’m a first-time mom here in Canada, and I’m so excited (and a bit overwhelmed!) about picking out toys for my little one. I’d love to hear your go-to toys, where you shop for them, and what you keep in mind when buying. Are you grabbing stuff from local Canadian brands, big stores, or online? Do you focus on things like durability, eco-friendliness, or maybe budget-friendly prices, subscription, Montessori focused etc etc? Any faves for different age groups or tips on what’s worth the splurge? I’m all ears for your advice – thank you so much for helping me navigate this! 😊
