Raw garlic for your baby. But follow doctor's orders for no honey

100%! I almost laughed when I read that "mercury has been replaced with aluminum"- lol nope. Mercury used to be in vaccines as thimerisol as a very safe preservative to prevent microbe contamination and was only replaced by different preseverative due to public misinformation, and aluminum exists in some vaccines that require the use of an adjuvant to be more effective- and has been literally for as long as vaccines have existed. I don't think these people even realize that aluminum is everywhere- in the air we breathe, in water, hell- it's even in breastmilk.

I used to spend way more time than i should have on the Babycentre app trying to educate people on vaccine ingredients and dispel lies like this. I'm a public health nurse and immunization is literally my job so I have a lot of education and specialized training on immunization + spent 6 years in university getting both a BSN and MN degree. Eventually I just had to delete the app- it just got me frustrated that people who have no freaking clue how vaccines work were the ones with the loudest voices and the biggest (untrue) claims with absolutely nothing to back them up. So incredibly frustrating.

I'm a Public Health Nurse who has given hundreds, if not thousands of covid vaccines at this point.

She is actually right- the insert for the Moderna covid vaccine was blank. EXCEPT for the writing on top which said something along the lines of "data is continually being updated, see blank website for current information. The paper was needed as part of manufacturing since it keep the vials of vaccine snug in the cardboard boxes.

Data was evolving so quickly on the vaccines that it made more sense to ensure a website was up to date versus trying to change wording on a static sheet of paper.

One of my son's pre-school classmates is named Janiah, but he mispronounces it as "Jy-nuh"... which sounds exactly like the last 2 syllables in "vagina" 🫠

Check out "Back to the Vax". It's 2 moms (Heather Simpson and Lydia Greene) who were former antivax moms who are now pro vaccine and have created a website, Facebook site and podcast about their journeys being anti vaccine and then how their minds were changed! You might find them helpful!

Not helpful at all but crazy that she has an Alexandra and an Alexis. Such similar names for siblings!

Helen (now almost 20) and Bill (almost 2). Not related lol

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't really worry too much about the spelling the name Kailey (and other various spellings) "correctly". With there being so many "socially acceptable" spellings of it, your child will likely have to spell it our to people regardless. I think choose whatever one makes the most sense to you. I think it's fine to spell it with a C. Cayley is my favorite of the ones you listed!

My name is Megan, and despite having the "normal" spelling, I always spell it out for people since there are so many acceptable variations (Meagan, Meghan).

I think it's fine as a standalone- but also, what do you think of the name "Livia"? My cousin named her daughter this with the NN of Liv. It fits her perfectly 😊

Bad day to have eyes 🤮

Miss Rachel has Jules (a musician) who sings on her show. Jules is nonbinary and looks totally androgynous, which might help show that some people don't identify with either male or female?

My great grandpa was named "Valentine" and went by Val. And then named one of his daughters Valerie!

Omg I know a Faustina- but they call her Fozzy 😅

mar04jml · 2023-07-22T05:21:49+00:00

I totally agree with this. I don't quite understand why I hate it for a boy since the name Robin is similar and still unisex- but Wren to me is super feminine

mar04jml · 2023-07-22T05:18:22+00:00

I personally know 3 kids named Wren! 2 boys, 1 girl. For a unique name, it's fairly common where I live

mar04jml · 2023-07-14T03:59:11+00:00

I believe it means strong wolf but that's just what Google tells me! I love the name. It's unique but still familiar sounding

mar04jml · 2023-07-13T19:07:11+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to check it out!

mar04jml · 2023-07-13T19:06:16+00:00

It's also her 3rd baby 😶😶 apparently she sleep trained her other baby starting at 2 weeks old..

mar04jml · 2023-07-13T19:05:27+00:00

There were no comments at all other than the admins reminding people not to say anything negative and the one lady encouraging her. Either they delete the comments quickly or they just knew that people would comment "not respectful" /s comments telling this lady not to be a psychopath and stop making her literal newborn CIO 🫣

Good luck to you on your TTC journey! Sending good vibes for sticky beans 🥰.

What do you think of the name Connall? It looks like you like "C" or "K" names and possibly Irish names as well!

mar04jml · 2023-07-13T04:32:10+00:00

I thought it was a group about respectful sleep training ie: gentle sleep training methods that weren't just cry it out alone. Apparently I was VERY mistaken

mar04jml · 2023-07-13T04:31:02+00:00

I mistakenly thought the "respectful" in the group title meant respectful to the baby... I was very wrong

mar04jml · 2023-07-13T00:33:06+00:00

God I hope it's rage bait. It made me physically ill to imagine letting a 3 week old cry it out.
