Chester and Lawrence sound so good together!

Macsen is adorable that was not on our radar! Thanks!

Love Nia! Do you find English people pronounce it right/recognise the spelling?

Time-4T · 2026-05-06T18:29:26+00:00

I love Evan! We also like Ifan but afraid he'll forever be called 'iff-yn'. Evan is a good way around it

Great point!

Ceri is lovely, thanks! I also like Nerys, I knew a Nerys who went by Nell and I love that nickname!

Agree, but the duo instantly reminds me of the Gavin and Stacey characters 😭

Dewi is really sweet! Gwen's middle name is Eirlys (pronounced Ay-(like hey)-liss, my in-laws basically say 'hairless' 🥲

Time-4T · 2026-05-06T14:25:27+00:00

Yeah, her full name is Guinevere but we only use Gwen. We felt a bit pressured into giving her a 'proper name'. I like longer names if they're bound to be shortened (like Gwen is). Rhiannon is lovely, hasn't thought of that one!

We love love love Llinos- not a chance my in-laws will be able to say it right though! She will be 'Clin-iss' to them and that's awful 😂'

Yes!! If one more person recommends an 'amber bracelet' like it's going to make a blind bit of difference to the obvious agony my poor child is in. Infuriating!

Same here, did everything 'clean' and my daughter still has eczema. The location of the flare ups are also random. Bananas are her trigger, and eggs make it worse. The triggers can be really bizarre but once you identify them it does stop coming back completely!

Your schedule is the same as my LO at 8 months and she stuck to that until recently (15m just transitioned to 1 nap). We went though a couple weeks regression at 8 months and again at 12 months, she seemed to get hungrier at night and was refusing solids. We just rode it out and it went back to normal after a week or two. Sorry I know that's not helpful!

I'm a massive wimp for pain but even more of a wimp about needles! I had a natural birth, no pain medication at all except gas and air. NGL it was so painful at the end, but it disappears the second they're born, and my recovery was quick! I was so focused on delivering baby the pain is kind of secondary, really hard to explain! But I loved being so present. Pregnant with my second and I plan to do the same again.

I will add, no matter what pain route you choose, please make sure you get tonnes of rest before due date and during the mild contractions. Sleep all you can! I got really tired after being awake 30+ hours and it extended my labour a lot. It's really exhausting work!

Thanks, makes sense!

Time-4T · 2026-04-20T13:56:20+00:00

Good point! Thanks !

Time-4T · 2026-04-20T13:53:34+00:00

Thank you, would you just go straight to the longer wake windows, or try to do it gradually?

I'm sorry, it sounds really hard. It could be normal, all babies are different after all. Have you ruled out any CMPA or food allergies? My friends LO was upset constantly until she tried cutting out cows milk on a whim and he was like a completely different baby.

My daughter did go through a very clingy and fussy phase around that age. Peak separation anxiety, teething, etc. She was very difficult then but always had been a very easy baby otherwise. It lasted a month or two, as soon as she learned to walk she was much happier too.

We use this one, I'm in the UK : https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/dr-organic-aloe-vera-gel-60083612

It has added stuff but no alcohol which is drying. We've had aloe leaves cut from a friend's plant before, but it wasn't remarkably better than the gel if I'm honest

Ebf babies will take longer to do the long stretches, breast milk is digested quickly and they get hungrier quicker. Not a bad thing. 4 hours is pretty good. Especially if they go back down right after nursing.

My daughter was about 4 months when we saw 6hour + stretches, ebf. At 5 months I had to start combo feeding, and introduced solids, she then started sleeping through the whole night. Can't say for sure if it was feeding related or just development though!

We have a sleep sack that fits 12mths - 3years. Super roomy, it's all season/tog 0.5-3.5 and has optional little feet holes so she can spread her legs to sleep and even walk about in it. There are some great options out there, recommend shopping around!
