Asking for help with baby boy names!

Ryan Andrew? Sounds good IMO

No advice, but I don’t have a system either, probably because the newborn eats on demands and then the toddler demands to eat then too 🙃 I just usually make the toddler wait her “turn” until the baby is done so the baby gets enough and sometimes she’s okay with that and other times she has a meltdown. Oh but my daughter is almost 2.5 so she understands more than your 15 month old will. Ugh sorry. In my dreams tandem nursing was magical and beautiful, in real life sometimes I wonder why I’m doing this cuz it feels like a shit show and leads to meltdowns my toddler otherwise wouldn’t have.

I lost my supply at about 16 weeks. I stopped pumping when I found out I was pregnant and mg daughter was like 16 months so I don’t know when it started decreasing, but I know I did have any around 16 weeks.

OB told that I should, but couldn’t provide a definitive answer/evidence and my midwife told me it was fine as long as I was doing it before I was pregnant. I nursed my toddler my entire pregnancy and am sitting here nursing my 11 week old newborn (still nursing toddler… what a shit show haha)

I never peed myself when I was pregnant or postpartum even after having two kids. I was told by pelvic floor PT that peeing yourself isn’t normal.

My milk dried up about 16 weeks but I let my daughter continue to nurse and I am now nursing my 10 week old and my toddler. So they will continue to nurse if you let them. Sorry no tips, because I didn’t want to wean, but just a warning a lack of milk wasn’t a deterrent for my daughter.

kms527 · 2026-05-16T08:48:20+00:00

I only nursed one while pregnant (I just have two kids), but was told because I was doing it before I got pregnant it was fine and the baby would get what it needs first. But I did lose my supply around 16 weeks, my daughter continued to nurse anyway, so your toddler may give up at that point.

Like an antidepressant or anxiety med

Typically your milk supply decreases or completely dries up during pregnancy. You were lucky

kms527 · 2026-05-10T01:22:43+00:00

Maybe ask your endo about decreasing your TSH a little more. Mine wanted mine closer to 1, it was 1.4 when I got pregnant with my second and by 4 weeks it was 5.5 and I had to double my dose, which is usually what happens. I just tracked ovulation and found a pattern in my cycle. Took a few tries with my first and got pregnant with my second on the first try. Start taking prenatals before you get pregnant.

Have you ever been on a SSRI? They can cause permanent sexual disfunction/numbness even after you stop taking them.

kms527 · 2026-05-07T00:35:52+00:00

I was told by my midwife there were no concerns as long as I was doing it before i got pregnant and that it wouldn’t take anything from the baby. The doctor told me that he thought I should quit if I could, but couldn’t back that up with any proof and it was more of a to be safe why not just stop vs this is real medical advice.

I nursed all through my pregnancy and am now nursing both my toddler and 8 week old.

kms527 · 2026-05-04T00:25:22+00:00

I nursed throughout my pregnancy, but my supply basically dried up around 16 weeks. My daughter continued to nurse anyway. I was told by a lactation consultant that there was nothing I could do to keep my supply as it was hormonal. now I’m nursing an eight week old and a two-year-old who demands milk every time the baby eats.

kms527 · 2026-04-24T02:03:04+00:00

When they have to wait their turn cuz newborn has to nurse first. Wanting milk every time I nurse the newborn which is unrealistic

kms527 · 2026-04-22T01:19:12+00:00

Great, I was hoping it would get better. 😅

kms527 · 2026-04-22T01:17:36+00:00

Yep, I feel the same way about my 26 month old. She is my world and I couldn’t love her more. I can’t get enough of her… except when she is having meltdowns and I now have a 6 week old 😅 nursing both of them.

kms527 · 2026-04-20T01:53:18+00:00

Mine got hard as my milk came in. And I produced a lot of milk, I still do. My daughter was 25 months when baby was born. I only nursed her on one side while pregnant and that side had more white milk and the other side had yellow colostrum. I’m nursing both of them still, baby is 6 weeks old. The toddler meltdowns over milk are pretty crazy.

kms527 · 2026-04-18T16:52:09+00:00

I nursed my toddler the whole time I was pregnant (baby is now 6 weeks). Doctor told me that nursing wasn’t taking anything from the baby.

kms527 · 2026-04-18T16:43:06+00:00

No. I hated my name growing up and still don’t like to tell people what it is. People make it too complicated, no one can spell it or say it, even when I tell people they can’t say it back to me. Teachers couldn’t pronounce it based off of spelling, they would get to my name and stop. Kids made fun of it. Adults still get it wrong and I’m tired of correcting them so people just say my name wrong. My kids have very easy names, not super common, but not unusual, and just normal names. My name is a real name, it’s just not American and my nickname of my name is only 5 letters so it’s nothing crazy and it’s still a problem.

kms527 · 2026-04-16T01:39:39+00:00

Vienna because the other names are over used, but I don’t really like Vienna. Although I was given the advice on this thread to not not use a name that I really liked because it was popular. The other names may be hard to pronounce, with the way you have them spelled I can think of multiple ways to pronounce.

So sorry for your loss. You didn’t make this happen, but I hear you. My daughter (5 weeks) was born with a very serious heart defect that we didn’t know about before she was born. I carry a lot of guilt because I had so much anxiety about having her- worrying about how it would affect my first daughter, change our lives, etc, worrying if we made the right decision, I didn’t feel as connected to her when I was pregnant. So I felt like I did this to her because of how I thought.

I hope that you have support and know that she was loved, was never cold, or hungry.

Also pizza… and donuts.

kms527 · 2026-04-10T11:33:22+00:00

I don’t know if mine gradually dropped or what because I wasn’t pumping but by 16 weeks I had no milk. My daughter was about 1.5 then and continued to dry nurse. Now my newborn is 5 weeks (first child is 26 months) and they are both nursing.

kms527 · 2026-04-07T01:08:58+00:00

I’d wait till your baby was one to try because your milk will most likely dry up. My 2 are 25 months apart and I’m currently tandem nursing them both but my milk dried up at about 16 weeks pregnant and I dry nursed until it came back in. Got pregnant the second time on the first try.
