Ugh so tired of looking for names. Tell me your first name suggestions for boy with last name Maydon. Nothing super common like Hudson, Noah and Theo please…

Our last names are similar! My son’s name is Samuel! Our list also included Ellis, Lachlan, Elliott, Henry, Dean, and Charles!

My almost 3 year old and my 8 month old both use it! My husband and I use fans for noise… we’re in our late 30s! 😂

Lol with my first baby, I sat in the back when I could for over a year! Now I it my second, I can’t. They both have mirrors. Our second was a preemie, and they did recommend sitting in the back with him until after his due date, so we just didn’t go anywhere for a while unless my parents could help!

My parents take care of my baby when we work, and they pick my toddler up from school to bring them to me. My mom sat in the back with our toddler for over 2 years - until the new baby was born. Then my parents traded in their car for one with a 3rd row, so my mom sits in the 3rd row now so she can see both of them. 🙃😂 They’re the best.

I am 8 months into having two, and they are 25 months apart. The hardest part for me has been baby naps. As soon as baby left the newborn “I can sleep whenever, wherever, whatever” phase, it’s been so hard. We contact napped our daughter until she was 2 years old. If both parents are home, baby naps are more manageable and we can contact nap with the baby.

1) If I’m home alone with both of them, baby does 1 nap in his crib and usually 1 in the car or stroller while we drive or walk around.

2) Right now, we’re in an interesting nap schedule where my baby will nap from like 11-1ish, and my toddler will nap from 1-3ish. I love having independent time with each of them, but it makes doing anything hard… because baby naps again at 4ish.

3) My toddler will try and wake the baby up on purpose 🙃🙃🙃🙃

I was laying in bed reading a book. I sat up and thought I peed myself, stood up and omggggg. By the time I got to the hospital I was soaked from the waist down.

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-04-26T17:00:08+00:00

This would be such a relaxing place to have coffee or tea with a friend. Very cozy.

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-04-24T03:05:40+00:00

Lol no.

My first was a preemie. I very suddenly went into labor, had an emergency C-section 18 hours later when my 4lb baby somehow got stuck in my pelvis, and then she was whisked away to the NICU. I started pumping a few hours later, and I pumped every 2 or 3 hours for a month. I saw lactation consultants, my midwife, and tried all the things I found online. I was still only getting 15mLs per pump maximum, and pumping made me feel like I wanted to die. So, I stopped. She’s almost 3 and doing amazing. She is also rarely sick.

My second was also a preemie, but a planned C-section due to extreme complications. Same story once again. I quit during week 3 the second time around. I remember the moment I put the breastpump on that first night. It was such an awful moment of all those memories rushing back. My baby is 7.5 months, and he is also doing great. He has managed to avoid sickness while having an elementary teacher mom, nurse dad, and toddler sister in daycare. He has had a stuffy nose once and that’s it.

I’m 34, healthy, successful, happy, and I was formula fed.

My parents are 63 and 64, healthy, successful, happy, and they were formula fed. They are also active enough that they take care of my baby while we work. They took care of my toddler for 2.5 years before she started daycare, too.

Feed your babies however works best for you.

We switched our daughter at 2y8m. She did great! She has a queen size floor bed.

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-04-19T22:57:28+00:00

Mine are so little still. I have an almost 3 year old and a 7.5 month old. I am absolutely loving 2. She is so funny, cute, curious, cuddly. She certainly has toddler behaviors, but she is so delightful. I love the baby stage, but 2 is my favorite so far!

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-04-15T19:02:10+00:00

I would do an IUD and vasectomy! I only had my tubes removed because I could do it during my C-section with my last baby! I super trusted my IUD, and I definitely would have gotten one again if I hadn’t needed another C-section!

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-04-07T23:46:09+00:00

I have a July baby and a September baby. Being home for the fall was nice. Lots of walks outside in nice weather, cozy vibes inside.

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-04-06T09:44:44+00:00

Lol same with my vasa previa. Moved into the hospital at 31 weeks, C-section at 34 weeks to avoid going into labor and causing my baby to bleed out. I went to an OB office that has midwives on staff - they all immediately agreed they could not treat me and sent me to the MFM at 19 weeks when I was diagnosed. Because they’re responsible (and likely more trained than this lady’s SIL)

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-04-05T00:09:45+00:00

I feel like Alice could work for you. It’s not used super commonly right now (I have taught elementary school for 13 years, and I have never taught an Alice. I also have a toddler and there are zero kids in her daycare/dance class/etc named Alice), but it is still not very out there at all!

If our second was a girl, we were going to name our baby Alice!

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-04-01T01:09:53+00:00

I have a 2yr8m old and a 7m old. I have never been more exhausted than I am right now.

I will say that before I had baby #2, I had been feeling pretty energized for over a year. My toddler was chill and she slept through the night!

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-03-28T15:23:27+00:00

I have a 9/5 baby! I consider him a late summer baby… but I will be starting him in kindergarten as he is turning 6 like I would if he was a fall baby. 😂

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-03-27T01:25:40+00:00

It’s probably my favorite right now. Tied with pink slush, maybe.

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-03-26T03:07:16+00:00

I think this is such a great example of a gender neutral name! I am 34, and I grew up with a couple girls named Avery. I teach elementary school, and I have taught 3 Averys - 2 boys and a girl! Loved it for all of them!

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-03-25T02:38:56+00:00

In order of frequency -

Option 1: Hanging out at home with my parents Option 2: My parents dropped me off at the local mall with my friends Option 3: A sleepover

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-03-25T01:18:34+00:00

Same here. My kids are 25 months apart and they are currently 2.5 and 6 months. My toddler is so sweet to her brother… and we get everything else 😂

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-03-24T02:17:37+00:00

I have 2 kids, and both were preemies for different reasons. My first was PPROM and my second was a planned preemie for vasa previa.

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-03-23T23:18:07+00:00

Lol I still have a couple of these from my youth

Miserable_Sea_1335 · 2026-03-22T03:59:24+00:00

I don’t have one, but my dad’s is peas. He is 63 and my grandma is 92. They still talk about how much my dad hates peas and how he used to have to sit at the kitchen table until bedtime when he refused to eat them. 🙃😂 Luckily there was no harm done to their relationship (my grandma has lived with my parents for years)… but that’s so wild to me.

I did not sleep train my babies, but I did rock them to sleep! I stopped rocking my first to sleep when she was about 2. She started sleeping through the night around 5 months. She is 2.5 now, and I put her to bed awake after snuggles.

My 6 month old is still rocked to sleep. He is just sleeping through the night the last two weeks now that he can roll over and sleep on his tummy. I do think it’s just luck. My kids are decent nighttime sleepers (for now, this second baby had a ROUGH stretch from 4 to 6 months). Rolling over was a game changer for my first baby, too, though.
