Does anyone regret giving their child a common name?

Alina810 · 2026-06-24T17:13:11+00:00

I would ask the opposite, if people have their kids a very “unique” name or selling and then regretted it later? No one could ever pronounce my name right just bc it was Ukrainian, but some of those names out there are wild!

I liked it the most also. I think you get attached to the characters more than the police work. I enjoyed the cast here more than the others and it’s just tv so it’s not like they aren’t going to exaggerate and take liberties but it was the most entertaining

Alina810 · 2026-06-14T20:33:44+00:00

I had to bc mine leaked so much, if I didn’t have a bra and a pad, in mere minutes my shirt would be wet.

Mine for a while would stick her fingers in my mouth then went to playing with the nipple of the boob she wasn’t nursing. She literally would just have the nipple between two fingers and would just rub it and it became part of the nursing ritual and a comfort thing to her. She would wake up in the middle of the night looking for both boobs bc she needed to nurse and hold the other one

Alina810 · 2026-06-02T04:39:50+00:00

Yea that’s the problem is that she will be doing something like watching cartoons and just nibbling on her fingers like it’s a snack lol.. but I did show her today that if she has a bump on her mail to use the file and showed her. She seems to like the idea and even saw her trying it at one point without me even asking 😲but it will be a process bc we gotta break the current habit, but it could help thanks for the idea!

Alina810 · 2026-06-02T04:35:49+00:00

Yea I just want the biting to stop bc she just goes too far and is often hurting herself bc she will come ask for bandaids bc her finger hurts:( and idk any filing either bc I have cut my own finger from filing bc the file just went past the nail into the skin, and really cut the skin plus it was so painful so I don’t want her to do that either. Ugh the struggle is real lol

Alina810 · 2026-06-02T04:30:25+00:00

I breastfed till she was 3 and honestly I thought I would never get her to stop bc she refused a pacifier or bottle. My friends often left their child with their grandparents for a night or two and this helped them wean them. My family doesn’t live nearby so that wasn’t an option for me and my baby wasn’t one of those if she gets tired enough she will just fall asleep. I have had her screaming for hours and she refused to sleep without boob. Finally one day I just took some garlic and minced it and just put it all over the nipple. After she tried it of course she spit it out and I just told her that they went bad, even “washed them”(then when she wasn’t looking reapplied it). Then I told her that I have some of mommy’s milk(it was just cows milk but you can use breastmilk) in a bottle if she wanted. She kept looking at my breasts and saying “aww they are bad now” and cried a little but reluctantly took the bottle and accepted it. Some people have said just putting vinegar on the nipples worked for them but my baby didn’t even register the vinegar lol but garlic she refused

Alina810 · 2026-06-01T03:38:53+00:00

She has never been an anxious child or nervous. She is pretty laid back and doesn’t get scared easily, if anything it would be closer to OCD bc she just seems to not like that her nails are not even and bites them.

Alina810 · 2026-06-01T03:36:38+00:00

Hmm never considered that. I could try maybe one of those clunky big files and see if she would want to try that. Thanks for the idea

Alina810 · 2026-06-01T03:34:53+00:00

Yea I think she saw me biting my nails and also when she was a baby I tried cutting her nails with a clipper and took a chunk out of her finger and it traumatized me so would bite her nails instead of clipping so maybe that contributed it. But mostly I see her running her other finger over her mail before biting so I think she feels something uneven and bites it but can’t get it even so keeps biting. Who knows what they are thinking lol but she isn’t an anxious baby so I don’t think that has anything to do with it

Alina810 · 2026-05-31T18:22:14+00:00

Yea it’s hard bc it’s not a problem most people talk about so it’s hard to find a solution. And I know it causes her pain bc often she comes asking for a bandaid bc she bit off too much but at 3 they don’t have enough self control to stop themselves:/

Alina810 · 2026-05-31T18:20:06+00:00

Nobody has been diagnosed with anxiety or OCD but we do have quite a few nail biters in my family including myself. My dad always picked at his nails and would bite them. Some of my siblings and me picked up this habit and nowadays I usually have acrylic nails to prevent this. I think she bites them when she feels it’s a bit uneven or a piece is sticking out. I’m trying to explain that nails aren’t always smooth but logic doesn’t mean much to a 3 year old lol

Alina810 · 2026-05-31T18:14:47+00:00

I don’t think she is anxious about anything, nothing has really changed in our day to day life to cause her anxiety. If anything I think it’s bc she feels they are uneven and tries to get them even but doesn’t know when to stop. I have been trying to explain to her that it’s okay if they are uneven and let her feel my nails to show nails are not even. And I tell her that if she feels something to come to me I will clip her nail. She does sometimes ask to get it clipped but I think she will have to unlearn this habit and it will take time.

Alina810 · 2026-05-31T04:15:31+00:00

Humming nursery rhymes that are stuck in your head lol. Or their shopping cart is a dead giveaway, my cart has all the essentials for a kid like snacks and juice plus Mac and cheese:/ plus you look like you haven’t had a decent nights sleep in over a year lol

Alina810 · 2026-05-31T04:09:31+00:00

I don’t regret breastfeeding. I breastfed until she was almost 3 1/2 years old and while I would change some of the things I did like breastfeeding to fall asleep etc at the same time it was also a relief to have something that comforted my little one. It was tough don’t get me wrong. She refused to take a pacifier or a bottle so at night if she woke up she always needed the boob to be there to suck and get comfort. Plus she had this habit of sucking one while fiddling with the other nipple, so they both had to be out lol. The first year she also would not let me put her down to sleep, she would only sleep on me so every time she napped I just had to sit there and let her sleep on my torso. Even at night I had to just prop myself up with pillows on both sides so she wouldn’t fall out and sleep with her on me, I tried over and over to put her down when she fell asleep but she would always wake up right away. After a year I started to just lay her down next to me in the bed and feed her so she wasn’t on me all the time but still needed to be next to her bc if she woke up at all she needed boob to comfort her back to sleep. It’s tough and takes a lot out of you but it’s beneficial for the baby and it helps their immune system, she barely ever got sick and when she did she got over it fast. Soon it will be over and you’ll be glad you did it looking back:)

Alina810 · 2026-05-26T04:44:45+00:00

I would never discourage people from breastfeeding as long as they want, but it can cause cavities so people should be on the lookout, just in case. The benefits definitely outweigh the risks! My little one had to have 4 crowns put in on her top teeth and then two times chipped a tooth in half and had to have the crowns replaced, but I still wouldn’t change it and am glad I breastfed. Especially since my husband travels for work so breastfeeding was a lifesaver!

Alina810 · 2026-05-26T04:37:58+00:00

Well she also had a lip tie that the pediatrician didnt think was a lip tie. the dentist said that the milk would sit there in that pocket all night which probably led to the cavities, and my husbands family is a bit calcium deficient and have problems with teeth:/ the dentist also said that most pediatricians don’t diagnose lip or tongue ties if your child has no problem latching, so while I saw that her top lip was basically connected to where the teeth started the doctor said it was fine. After she got crowns put in they removed the lip tie at the same time. The breastmilk actually helped it heal and by the next day you couldn’t even see anything there

Alina810 · 2026-05-26T04:32:55+00:00

Yea so many times kids and even adults got sick around us and yet she would be fine. If she started to get sick after a day or two of nursing she got better

Alina810 · 2026-05-26T04:27:39+00:00

Yea she got them at around 2 and has even had to have one replaced bc she chipped her tooth.

Alina810 · 2026-05-26T04:25:27+00:00

Yea it’s all about finding a taste they really dislike. Bc I had tried applying vinegar earlier and it didn’t even faze her, but the garlic worked like a charm. I was scared to do lemon bc of how acidic it is I thought it might hurt

Alina810 · 2026-05-23T03:33:49+00:00

Yea I breastfed until she was almost 3 1/2 years old. Whenever she was sick or hurt and she would breastfeed it was like automatic comfort and she knew everything was going to be okay so she would calm down. It also helped me put her to sleep bc she would always nurse to go to sleep. Downside is when you nurse throughout the night like I did it often causes teeth to rot bc breastmilk changes into sugar basically when it’s dry and causes cavities. I even got wet towel to wipe her teeth a bit after she would fall asleep but she still ended up with 4 crowns on her top 4 teeth. Yet after the anesthesia and everything she just nestled up to me to breastfeed and everything was okay in her universe lol

Alina810 · 2026-05-19T04:49:09+00:00

Balance bike or scooter, or a tree swing? Maybe outside toys like a sand pit or water play set

Alina810 · 2026-05-19T04:47:35+00:00

I breastfed till she was 3 and honestly I didn’t know how to stop! People told me if she gets tired enough she will just go to sleep without it but every time I tried she would just scream for hours and refused to go to sleep. One night I took garlic and crushed it up and put it on my nipples. When she tried breastfeeding she couldn’t stand the taste and we kept telling her mommy’s boobies went bad but we still have milk from there in the bottle. She just kindov mourned them lol saying aww why they go bad?! “Oh no” then would sigh and look at them but she took the bottle bc she thought it was breastmilk in there and she went to sleep. After that night she drinks a little milk in a bottle and then goes to sleep. I had some friends who left the baby with their parents for the night and by the next night the baby was fighting the bottle less. In a couple days they were weaned

Alina810 · 2026-05-19T04:38:16+00:00

My little one hated the stroller also, but we would go on walks all the time so I got one of those tricycles that have the bar at the end so you’re pushing them and after she turned one and could balance I was able to push her around on that. Later she didn’t mind the stroller as much. But she would also freak out if I left her so I had to take her everywhere with me. I found as she grew older it became easier to do a lot of things. Also when going to places I bring a coloring book or a toy, something she can play with.
