If you are looking for something to do over the Spring Break why not take in some cinema with the whole family? The Festival International du Film pour Enfants de Montreal is a yearly film festival for children 2 years and up (check the schedule for age appropriate showings). It's a great venue for first time movie-goers and with a vast selection of films there is sure to be something for everyone. My personal pick is La Boutique Des Pandas, 3 beautifully animated short stories from the prestigious Shanghaï Animation Studio. Reserve your tickets online or in person because this event is very popular.
When baby has a cold, doctors often recommend propping up their mattress to help with breathing. This was always a problem for us. Our crib mattresses aren’t sturdy enough to prop up (regular foam mattress from Ikea) and I never felt safe raising one side of the bed with books. Enter Baby Bed Blocks by Spacebabies. First introduced 17 years ago by a Swedish mom who’s baby had recurring ear infections, the bed blocks have seen tremendous success in Sweden and around the world. When not being used under a bed the blocks are great stacking toys for toddlers.
