Daycare Vaughan/ maple / Woodbridge

Hi mommies ❤️

We’ve recently relocated from Ottawa to Vaughan and are currently looking for daycare options for our 1.1-year-old baby girl.

We’re open to both centre-based and home-based daycare and would ideally like to start from next month (ASAP).

Would really appreciate any recommendations, experiences, or leads in the Vaughan/Maple/Woodbridge area 🙏
Also open to any tips on the process or waitlists!

Thank you so much in advance 💕

Baby in bedroom during intimate time

Hello, I really don't want this to be controversial. I understand that we can never know what goes on in a little humans brain or what they will remember.

That being said, I have a 16 month old. And we are trying for another baby. We live with my elderly mom but our bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house. To avoid her hearing us or knowing what's going on we shut the door. My baby has separation anxiety so she would cry the whole time if we locked her out or put her in her playpen. Telling my mom or asking her to watch my baby would be more awkward for us than having her in the room, and we cant exactly afford a hotel or a sitter so she is in there with us. We play a baby video for her and give her lots of toys to play with and she does. She ignores us. I wish I had a better solution.

Nursery during extreme weather

Has your nursery given you any indication of closing during this week’s predicted extreme weather (if you’re in an impacted area)?

Stuff to do with 8 month old

What do you do with your 8 month old?
My maternity is coming to an end in September and now the warmer weather is here and she’s a bit bigger I want to start doing more with her rather than walking cleaning etc. ideas please !

Help me- heat/MIL

What are we doing with our babies in this heat 😭
Baby girl is only 19days old.
I have my mother in law here to help as my partner is now back travelling for work. But she’s wanting to go out and do things/shopping walking etc and I feel like it’s way too hot to take my baby outside, finding it hard to settle her unless we’re sat on the bed with the fan blowing and I’m also sweating like a pig even more so when breastfeeding her. Spitting up after her feeds. Pooing loads so need access to baby changing facilities wherever we go.

Also keep being asked if I need her to do anything but there is quite literally nothing for her to do.. absolutely love my MIL but I’m stuck

Unsure about pregnancy

Found out at just over 3 weeks I was pregnant with our 2nd and am now 5. Spent the last of these few weeks questioning if I really want to go ahead with it. I’ve got none of the excitement and happiness I experienced with our 1st. And even though this is a planned pregnancy I’m questioning everything about it working out, finances etc. bought a 3 bed house this year and I’m not overly happy with it as it’s too small and I can’t imagine there being 4 of us in it. I love the little life we have and everything mostly runs smoothly. My 1yr old is like my little best friend and I’d feel so guilty for him and I worry how the impact would be on him. I’ve got no one I can talk too as I’m scared to tell my mum as despite having 3 of her own she keeps trying to put me off having another yet so I don’t think I’d get the right support from her. My husband is excited and said he’d be gutted if we didn’t but supports me no matter what. I’m definitely not done at 1 and I want my lo to have a sibling. I’m so torn and confused 😫
