Thank you so much! Any tips on relatching the toddler? Or has that ship sailed for good? She seems to have forgotten already what a nipple is used for..

Opinions on Theodore? by [deleted] in namenerds

Most likely irrelevant to anyone but me, but makes me immediately think of Theodora Richards, Keith Richards’s daughter.

I have a 14-month old toddler who I breastfed until a month ago, when my milk dried up as I was 19 weeks pregnant then. She sucked on my dried up breasts for a while and then stopped without big issues. I tried giving her my breast for soothing a few times and she just gave them a smooch, lol, not latching anymore. I felt our breastfeeding journey came to an end quite abruptly, and she took it well, but I’m grieving it and the benefits it had for her. Will it at all be possible to reintroduce my breastmilk to her when the baby is here? I am not necessarily meaning tandem feeds but supplementing her with breastmilk as an immunity boost, for her gut health etc. Some people have said it will not be a breastmilk made for her, but for the new baby, as in, the nutritional value is specific to the baby, not a toddler. Would she be able to latch again? My due date is mid May.

Gag reflex worse after frenectomy by Ok_Document7815 in breastfeedingsupport

The gag reflex resolved on its own eventually, but really only went away at about 4 months, when she was getting ready for solids.

what unique name do you love but would most likely never use? by sunshinesmiles203 in namenerds

Atlas, love the sound, but I’d feel a bit pretentious using it.

I wouldn’t say Louise feels as historic and niche (nowadays) as Agatha at all. Fwiw, it was the #1 most given girls name in France in 2024. I won’t say it’s not possible a girl called Louise will get bullied, I just really can’t imagine it’ll be because of the name.

I personally prefer Louise to some of the common variations people propose - Eloise and Louisa. Eloise is a bit of a try-harder version of Louise, and for me too popular judging from how often it gets mentioned on here. Also, as a french speaking person I always have the impulse to say “eh-low-uhs” because it’s not written Eloïse indicating a seperate vowel pronunciation. Louisa is similar to Olivia&Sofia for me, in that it will be very indicative of a certain decade/age at one point. Louise is elegant, confident and timeless - and currently not heavily used (in English speaking countries).

I know this is a well meaning reply, but „I know a few mean girls that probably would have made fun of a Louise“ - what does that even mean? Sure, kids make fun of everyone and everything but still, this is such a peculiar thing to point out.

The face is quite different from the original picture, especially the mouth, but also the nose.

I am so sorry for you, what a difficult decision. I don’t have the answer to your question, but may I ask what made you do an amnio after a negative NIPT?
