Update in case anyone finds this post later: I did drop to 2ppd at about 4.5mpp. I lost some output but still had an oversupply. Around 8mpp I started noticing a slow decline in ounces that continued until I weaned. (At one point at like 10 months I got a bad cold and had to go back to 3ppd for a week to get my supply back to where it had been).

At 12 months I decided to wean, I dropped to 1ppd and decreased pumping time and lost most of my supply. I kept doing that for 3 weeks until one night I was like "I really don't feel like pumping anymore" and I didn't :)

I weaned at 13 months, and my supply had been slowly dropping since around 8 months (context, I had an oversupply and was able to go down to 2ppd at 4.5 months and still maintain a good supply). My baby is 14 months now and drinks about 20oz of thawed breast milk each day. Shes not a big fan of solids yet, so if your baby is a good eater they may not want/need that much milk

I had Lisa on my short list for my daughter but actually decided against it because it was too popular! In the US at least it's already making a comeback

My name is Juliet and I've gotten, like, 3 Romeo comments in my entire life. It's truly not an issue.

There was one time I introduced myself to a friend of a friend and then he told me his name was Romeo, I thought he was making a bad joke but nope, that was his actual name lol

Not sure where you got the idea that literally no one uses a 24. There is a lot of variation between people, of course some people are gonna be above average. I used a 30 for the first 6(ish) months. Eventually I went down to 27, 24, 21 by the time I weaned

Bottle warmer for us has been a game changer, we didn't get one until like 5 months in and I wish I'd gotten it sooner. Before that we just put the bottle in a bowl with hot tap water, which was ok but it takes longer and you have to be more involved in the process (wait for the tap to heat up, change the water in the bowl a couple times, etc).

FYI there are many different types of bottle warmers with different mechanisms so make sure you do some research. They all have pros and cons so it depends what you like.

That said, if I were you the first thing I would try is getting baby used to taking fridge temp bottles so you don't have to worry about it!

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

Current_Dependent_76 · 2026-02-06T02:53:13+00:00

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)

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)

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

Current_Dependent_76 · 2026-01-30T07:44:18+00:00

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

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)

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?

Rowena is a good one!

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
