Hey ladies, we will be formula feeding (save me the lecture...) and I'm looking for some advice re: bottles....
I'm a first time mom and know NOTHING about feeding a baby (like seriously, I've never done it). Can you recommend a brand of bottles that worked for you?
Also, how many bottles will I need? (plus how many 5oz, 9oz, etc.)
I've been looking at the Tommee Tippee line, but I'm not sold on it....
Help a clueless mommy-to-be out! Thanks!

"Working from home" while on mat leave/EI

Hi ladies,
Hoping that some of you can shed some light on this for me, as I am hopelessly clueless when it comes to this stuff.
My employer does not offer a maternity leave top up. I will be entitled to the max EI benefits ($485/week).
An opportunity has arisen where my employer would allow me to complete some work from home (a couple of hours a week, all online) while Im on leave, and they will pay me a top-up (amount TBD).
Has anyone done this? I have no clue how this would work, if the employer topping me up a bit will screw with my EI, or if its even worth it for me to explore this opportunity.
I want to educate myself more on how this would work before talking with my boss and HR.
ANY advice you ladies can offer would be greatly appreciated!!!!
TIA!

I sold my gold through Birks Gold Exchange, I figured Birks is pretty reputable and it all seemed on the up and up.
I got over $350 for some broken necklaces, two plain rings and a bunch of charms and earrings.
Here's the site:
Birks Gold Exchange You register for a "kit" online: basically they mail you a return envelope and a bunch of fine print. You put your gold in the envelope and take it to any post office (postage paid by Birks and packaged is insured).
Birks then evaluates your gold, emails you the value and if you agree, they send you a cheque.
I was very happy with the service and the amount I got. I figured I'd get more from a reputable place like Birks than from a pawn shop or something....

ms_taken - Peter is Leanne's husband. He and Carla are now having an affair.
Corrie - Tracy had a miscarriage the night she went to the hotel to find Steve when he and Becky had a Street Cars meeting there. She didn't find him and started freaking out, then was on the ground in pain. They took her to the hospital and Deirdre came, the doctor told her she miscarried.
She didn't want to tell Steve b/c she thinks he's only with her b/c on the babies.
So, she went to confront Becky, they got in to an argument and Becky told her she won, Steve loves her. Tracy went to leave and threw herself down the stairs, Becky called an ambulance and when they arrived, she told them that Becky pushed her down the stairs.
Deirdre knows the truth and is keeping her mouth shut.
Soooooo much drama!!!

Our cottage is on Lake Erie, so I can't really help with the Kawarthas, but I do know that the Spring Cottage Life show open this weekend.
They have a big real estate area and I'd bet you'd find tons of agents from the Kawarthas that know all the lakes and could give you some good advice.
Plus, the Cottage Life show is a ton of fun and has some great exhibitors.

I read an article a few moths ago (in the Globe, I think..) about the French parenting style and what North Americans can learn from it.
I just noticed on the Chapters home page that one of their "New and Hot" books is: Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers The Wisdom Of French Parenting
Link I'm very interested in picking it up and wondered if any of your moms have read it and what your thoughts are.

Hey ladies,
Tried to find the answer on Google, but no dice, I'm certain one of our Optimum gurus will know the answer...
I have over 100,000 points, so enough for $170 (or $200 if I wait until bonus redemption day, which I will).
Can I redeem my 100K points to purchase a $200 Shopper's gift card?

I'm not "allowed" to watch Marley and Me...
I read it on our honeymoon and was a blubbering mess for a few hours
A few years later, DH and I watched the movie one night, the next day his parent's dog that he had grown up with for 15 years passed. He was inconsolable.
I've watched it twice since when it's been on TV and end up hysterically crying and hugging my dog. And then ending up with a headache from crying.
So I've decided that it's for the best that I stay away, FAR AWAY from Marley and Me.

Hey ladies,
Posting here too in hopes some of you new moms might be able to help....
I'm seriously considering the iCandy Apple stroller, have been to look at it a few times and taken one for a "test drive" and loved it. I'm not finding a ton of user reviews as the iCandy line is still relatively new to Canada (very popular in the UK).
Just wondering if any BB'ers have the iCandy and what your opinion of it is...
