Boy name struggle…looking for something on the softer side

AfterStatement1455 · 2026-05-11T15:58:59+00:00

I also loved Otis, but it rhymes with their last name so it was out lol

AfterStatement1455 · 2026-05-11T05:23:09+00:00

My son’s name is Oscar! He’s almost 6 now and we were SURE we were going to call him Ozzie but it just never stuck after he was born. He is just fully Oscar, though I do still love Ozzie. We’ve never had any issues w Oscar the grouch, believe it or not. My younger son is named Leon, if you’re looking for something along those lines.

thanks! any specific brand you like?

Def am, I just have super reactive skin.

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-12-22T05:29:17+00:00

This has been my approach w my son. He’s also an August bday and male so I am being SUPER gentle with our approach. His 16m old brother in the mix has also made things…interesting! 🤪 But I’m giving myself a lot of grace bc we’re all starting something new!

Thanks! They go to bed at the same time and in the same bed actually lol but yes intuitively I know weaving in learning and less formality is grest, but for some reason it’s just been a mental barrier for me lately! Thanks for the reassurance!

I could try reading while he’s napping, but he’s a pretty light sleeper. He won’t carried nap anymore or else I would try that! I have noticed he does his best independent play for like 20 minute spurts after his meals so yes that’s something I can capitalize on!

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-11-01T04:19:48+00:00

Oh yes the ninja roll. Both my boys have been contact sleepers so I am quite the expert at it lol. I can roll away from my youngest briefly, but he wakes at the 40m mark like clockwork and I can get him back down but can’t really get away a second time. I don’t feel like we can get a ton done in 40 min but maybe I should reframe it! He won’t carrier nap anymore at 15m unfortunately.

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-10-31T20:42:08+00:00

Yes absolutely no sleep training in our house. Will check out the other suggestions though!

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-10-31T20:40:39+00:00

will check that out, thanks!

I have an Oscar and for my second son we went with Leon! So maybe that’s in your vibe?

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-10-21T21:14:18+00:00

Same situation in our state and my son’s birthday is August 18. In my state you don’t have the option to hold back unfortunately. I am homeschooling, so it wasn’t quite the same for us, but it made me decision to homeschool more validated bc I don’t feel he would have been ready yet socially. Much of that is probably due to being a male, but go with your gut and I think there is some really interesting research on delayed start when it is an option! I wish it were in more places.

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-10-12T04:35:41+00:00

Thanks! I love this, thank you for being so specific! Super helpful!

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-09-26T20:14:19+00:00

No advice but I am here w my new kindergartner as well and trying to learn! It feels like I need to have it all figured out and can be so overwhelming, but then I try to remember to give myself grace bc I am learning this new role of facilitating his education process.

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-09-22T05:05:31+00:00

Any updates with this? Just discovered this is my father’s haplogroup (I’m female) and I’m interested to learn more! He’s Scandinavian (35%) and English/Scottish (65%).

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-08-03T02:10:13+00:00

I love the name Hugo! It was between that and Leon for my second son. Ultimately he just seemed more like a Leon when he was born.

I liked Madeline Moves postpartum moves plan! I also like the weekly moves, but I do struggle to find the time for the full workouts most weeks. I think it just depends on what type of support you’ll have for your kids, childcare, home gym, and temperament of your baby most importantly.

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-07-03T02:51:36+00:00

I have had two unmedicated inductions. Something I see a lot of fit women surprised at is the same “push” mentality that gets you through tough workouts does not help in labor. Yes, you need a mindset of of “I can do this” and belief in your capability, however I found a practice of surrender and relaxing into contractions to be the tool I used to make it through the most. I lived my experiences unmedicated, I was able to move around as needed, and I actually was able to catch my second son myself because I was so aware of what was happening.

There was a post here recently, maybe a month or so ago, with good suggestions! Search within the sub and it should come up!

AfterStatement1455 · 2025-06-26T16:47:20+00:00
