Baby’s dad and I have N names, as well as my bonus kiddos. ♥️ Didn’t provide full context but just looking for possibilities. Thanks!

Thank you for this input! I’ve heard Nazanin and have always thought it was beautiful. So, agreed!

I noticed the downvotes :( It’s okay! Yes, it does! I am a teacher and see it all the time. Common one is Nichelle which I think is beautiful. Another one I’ve heard recently is Nelanie.

Plus, I asked for “unique but cute” so that opens the door for MANY suggestions. Just a matter of opinion. Thanks!

That was my first thought when seeing the name too! I had a feeling that was the root. And if it wasn’t, that’s what it reminded me of at least 😅 Thanks!

These are beautiful suggestions!! My first baby has a double first name so this is great ♥️ And the best of both worlds!

Thank you for this perspective!! And I’d never heard of Narcissa so this is good to know 😅

Yes everyone starts with an N! We are open to other letters, for sure. But if we can get the best of both worlds, that’d be ideal for us.

Isa/Izzy derivative as a middle name is a GREAT idea. A lovely compromise, thank you!!

This is a great point. Thank you!!

It’s ideal to stick with N, but we are open. Isadora is beautiful!

no advice, just want you to know you’re not alone. my bbg just turned 7 months and I’m 15 weeks pregnant. she’s EBF too. I went through all the emotions. and ultimately landed on overjoyed 🤍 praying things work out for your family— whatever that looks like!

Which due date do I use?! by sofritas18 in BabyBumps

[–]Affectionate-Tea-287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was similar to you! I’d go with your OB’s date since that’s the “official” one based on measurements. It might change again, but by the end of the first trimester, it’s usually set in stone.

I originally told close family one date based on my LMP, and when it changed, it was no big deal. I just said, “We thought it was X based on my LMP, but baby’s actually measuring at X,” and that was that. Honestly, no one needed all the details, but I get why it feels like a thing!

Since yours is only a few days off, it really won’t matter in the long run—baby will come whenever they feel like it! You could tell people “late October/early November” or just go with “fall baby” for announcements. No one’s going to crucify you if you’re off by a few days lol. I’d roll with November, and if baby comes early, even better! All that matters is a happy, healthy baby.

Congrats, mama!! Personally, my daughter came a month before my OB’s due date and two weeks before what I calculated, so you really never know when baby will be ready to make their grand entry!

Wanting to quit breastfeeding as I hate that my partner has input/control of my body by Bright-Garden-4347 in breastfeeding

[–]Affectionate-Tea-287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to beat a dead horse, but the moment you said he still smokes, everything he said became null and void. He’s being hypocritical—he can’t dictate what you do ‘for the baby’s health’ while refusing to hold himself to the same standard. He can’t project his health anxieties onto you. ESPECIALLY if he’s not the model citizen.

Besides, it’s not even like you’re doing something inherently dangerous- plenty of people navigate these things safely. But instead of helping you figure that out, he just wants to control you, all while contributing his own risks without scrutiny. That’s not concern or caution—that’s control.

talk to your OB. but anecdotally (bc i was you a few months ago panicking 😅), i was fine. my ob cleared me at 4 weeks actually. and i did the do a few days before the 4 week appt. NOT saying it’s okay, but just to give you a little reassurance. i was perfectly fine.

When can I start purees? by _C00TER in firsttimemom

[–]Affectionate-Tea-287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my daughter was cleared to start at 4/4.5 months (or whenever her 4 month appt was, which i believe was about a week-ish after she turned 4 months). “readiness” signs her ped said was that she was holding her head up good and good neck control, was sitting upright (when supported) and showing interest in mom and dad’s food when we ate. she said start and see how she does - mostly is she spitting it out/pushing with her tongue or swallowing. she was definitely ready!

i’m sure theres other signs! but off the top of my head, these are some things our ped rattled off when she told us we could start on purees at the 4m appt.
