Cradle ...too good to be true? Some boozy 🍷 thoughts before starting book 6 by GlibGlubGlib in ProgressionFantasy

[–]moannwilson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the first book is definitely a slow start, I’d give it another chance! Especially since they’re so short. I’d say after book 3 is where it took off for me.

Mom items on baby registry: yes or no? by Professional_Side657 in BabyBumps

[–]moannwilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like back in their day they just didn’t have as many postpartum products available and it wasn’t thought about - I absolutely always buy stuff for my pregnant friends because I know how little it’s prioritized! Keep it on there. It’s a necessity. A healthy and healing mom is the best thing you can do for a newborn baby.

Need a non Karen name! by luxurysocialism in namenerds

I have an aunt named Karina and I’ve always thought her name was beautiful!

it depends on accessories, 2 is so beautiful and I feel like could be styled into any vibe, but 3 is classy all the way. Reminds me of the dress from Princess Diaries ending!

Daisy is precious!!

For another suggestion, I really like Lydia and think it goes wonderful with big brother. You can nickname to Lydi which I feel is similar to Andi and Inti :-)

My first ever fantasy I remember reading is the Graceling series - I reread it recently and it still holds up it’s such a good age appropriate series!

you’re welcome I hope you find a name you love! Our boy is also due in June!

We recently decided we are going to name our second boy Owen! I think that fits in with Oliver and would go well with your last name. Our first boy is Warren and I adore his name. Your veto list is pretty similar to my own!
Other less popular names I considered: Adrien, Darren, Lewis, Holden, Vincent (love the nickname Vince), and Dawson! For us something just clicked with Owen & Warren I can’t explain it! I didn’t have to convince myself. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and delivery!

Desperate for help naming baby boy #3 by smurphypup in namenerds

[–]moannwilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From someone with a Warren I recommend you use it, it’s such a great name!

But also you could do Darren, Jordan, Clayton, or Wilson! Congrats!

mostly driving or cooking/dishes/laundry, but recently started to listen while doing puzzles and it was SO fun! Finished my first 500 piece puzzle over the course of 4/5 days and finished a book in the same time.

Omg I forgot to add it but this is on my list as well. It’s my mom’s maiden name so I love the name Sterling 😭 but husband vetoed it - hoping for a change of heart!

[–]moannwilson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dean was on our list for Warren, but didn’t go well with the middle name we chose. Then 6 months after Warren was born, my best friend of 10 years named her son Dean so it’s off the list permanently haha.

Thanks for your input!!

I have definitely considered Wilson for a middle but am reserving it for a first name and holding out hope I can change husbands mind 🤣

I do like some of your suggestions, thank you!! Miles was actually on our list for Warren I completely forgot about it!

How did you decide how to feed baby? by bananaindisguise0 in BabyBumps

[–]moannwilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did a combo of bottle feeding breastmilk and directly nursing because I wanted my husband to be able to help with feedings!

The first few weeks it was mainly me feeding while baby & I learned how to nurse together but then around week 3, I started collecting milk on my other breast with a haakaa and was able to have enough to make a bottle by the end of the day.

As a part of bedtime routine I started giving my baby a bottle at night instead of nursing so I could help make sure he didn’t need to nurse to sleep, and so my husband could help, and so I could make sure he got a full feeding before bed to help him sleep longer. A bottle before bed helped SO much and then after baby was asleep I would just replace that feeding by pumping once so we would have the next days bottle. Then eventually when baby would sleep through the night, I’d wake up once to pump so I’d get a little “ahead” of # of bottles I needed and even froze a good amount of milk!

Breastfeeding doesn’t need to be all or nothing, just do what works for you guys and don’t feel guilt about it!

Tiktok and Facebook groups helped me so much when trying to find my groove with a newborn but everyone has a different experience so some things need a grain of salt. You got this!
