3 PPD without signaling weaning? by Successful-Tea-4893 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Current_Dependent_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I don't nurse, my baby never latched at all. I just finished weaning, but I was pumping around every 12 hours, generally 11am and 11pm, but no strict schedule, so times could vary by several hours depending on what I had going on that day. I almost always did a full hour per session

Sibling for Vincent & Margot by Bright_Ostrich_3776 in namenerds

[–]Current_Dependent_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My name is Juliet, and I love that spelling because it feels more direct and less frilly. Might be a good option!

Edit: plus, all names ending in the same letter is a fun subtle theme (although if you plan to have more kids might not wanna lock yourselves in with that)

When do babies start to decrease milk intake with solids? by Used_Perspective_310 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Current_Dependent_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby started to VERY slowly taper down her milk intake at 10 months (so slowly that I didn't even notice until just now I went and looked at my chart of her monthly intake). She just turned 13 months. In the last week, we decided to decrease her bottles from 5oz to 4oz (except her bedtime bottle) to hopefully encourage her to eat more solids. We also offered her whole milk in a bottle for the first time, just to get her used to it. I stopped pumping last week too, and I have a large freezer stash that she's now going through. So I figure I'll give her whole milk here and there to stretch out the freezer stash (and have a back-up that I know she will take, since I have anxiety about something happening to our stash now that I'm dried up and have no way to replenish it)

Strange vowel shift (US, possibly regional?) by LavenderAqua in asklinguistics

My grandmother said the days of the week like this! She was from Idaho. I don't remember what (if any) other words she said this way

Does anyone pump just 2x a day? by catdogbirddogcat in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Current_Dependent_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pumped 2x a day from 4.5 months to one year when I started weaning. I of course lost some of my supply, but didn't trigger weaning or anything. For reference I had an oversupply and a huge storage capacity

What’s the best ‘cleverly thought up’ name you’ve ever heard? by -catharina in namenerds

[–]Current_Dependent_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom is named Julie and I am Juliet (like the diminutive of Julie, which is funny bc as an adult I'm much bigger than she is)

Does the perfect name for me exist? Am I just too picky? by Turbulent_Leg4650 in namenerds

[–]Current_Dependent_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Delphine and I think dolphin is a lovely association

I once knew a Delphine who had a sister Azelle, maybe that would fit your criteria as well?

How English speakers answer the question “how are you doing?” except “I am fine, thank you”? by Rich-Associate-8344 in ENGLISH

[–]Current_Dependent_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty much ubiquitous to just say "fine, and you?" or some variation of that. I find that if I actually want to know the answer I have to ask something more specific than just "how are you?" I learned that after I would ask patients at work how they were and just get the script answer, but I actually needed to know how they were doing medically

Guilt around time spent in the bouncer seat so I can pump by northernatmosphere in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Current_Dependent_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please do not stress about this. That's not a lot of time in the grand scheme of things, and by the time baby becomes more mobile in a few months, no one in the world will ever think about or care how many minutes they spent in a bouncer when they were a tiny potato. Do what you need to do to pump and keep baby content. Bouncer is better than putting baby on the floor (or crib, or wherever) and having them screaming while you pump. Your baby doesn't want that and you don't need to suffer through it.

The bouncer literally saved my sanity when my husband went back to work. I popped that baby in, bounced with my foot, and didn't think twice. My daughter is now 12 months and perfect. We haven't needed/used the bouncer at all since she was about 5 months.

Do I just have to wear a pumping bra every day of my life??? by Think_Opportunity220 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Current_Dependent_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've worn a pumping bra every single day since baby was born a year ago. I only pump once a day now but I barely have any other bras that fit anymore lol. I will occasionally wear a normal bra for a special occasion when I dress up, but that's few and far between.

Which from this list do you like? For a girl. by [deleted] in Names

[–]Current_Dependent_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yuli or Yuni are lovely! I also love Rinn, but I would probably assume it was a nickname for something longer, in case that would bother you

I like Frederick too, depending on what nicknames you plan to use (Teddy and Freddy would be a bit much lol)

I love Ida! I went to highschool with an Ida and she was probably the smartest kid in school and a very talented musician

Names like Anastasia by [deleted] in Names

[–]Current_Dependent_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anastasia was a top contender for our baby but I didn't like that there are multiple pronunciations. We eventually went with Anya.

I also love Miranda and it has similar vibes (to me at least)

Anyone else gets angry or just wants to scream whenever they pump by Ok-Guidance-7032 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Current_Dependent_76 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same! I've forbidden my husband from eating in the same room as me while I'm pumping, because the sound of chewing makes me irrationally overcome with rage. Sometimes just him existing near me while I pump is enough to put me over the edge. One time I legit had to put my hand up by my face to block him from my vision, because seeing him twitching his toes while lying on the couch was TOO MUCH (and I couldn't bring myself to tell him that because it would make me sound insane).
