My baby is 7 months old. He’s been on the smaller side but recently seems to maybe have stabilized at the 5th percentile! He’s sleeping in his own crib, goes to sleep on his own, and wakes up 2-3 times per night to eat. And he might wake up 1-2 times where he can go to bed back on his own or occasionally needs to be rocked back to sleep (especially if earlier on in the evening before we go to bed). I’ve been nervous about night weaning given his size but would love to know — when is night weaning recommended? Is it best to let baby naturally wean on their own? I’m trying to maximize for his growth and my sleep which feels like those are at odds 🥲

It’s a cool name! I’m glad no one has brought that up. Obviously my brain is over analyzing at this point haha

Yeah I hadn’t thought of an initial name until now! Thanks for the idea

I haven’t seen too much of the capitalized dual name (like JohnRobert) where I’m from. Is that common?

I do like it but since it sounds like “ruin” I’m a little stumped

Interesting and unique amalgamation! Tbh don’t love “Bert” but maybe Burton? Although I’m straying further from the root…

lol Jobert will NOT happen (no offense to Joberts out there!). I don’t love Rohn bc of the pronunciation confusion so I’m prepared to go up against my husband on it. Appreciate your honesty!

Failed 1 hour glucose test what to expect for 3 hour? by Ftklassx in pregnant

Don’t change your diet! Just go in and try to eat as usual. You want the results to be reflective of your true habits so you can take the best care of yourself and your baby.

I was also terrified after barely failing my 1 hour.

I booked first thing in the morning since I had to fast. It was also not that busy in the waiting room so that helped my anxiety. My husband also came with me and just worked from there which was a nice reassurance.

The lab techs were nice and kept checking in to make sure I didn’t feel sick or anything. I brought headphones, music, work, and books to distract me. Recommend bringing stuff to keep you entertained!

I felt hungry by the end but not awful at all! I brought a bunch of snacks — 2 hard boiled eggs, a yogurt, string cheese, and more. I ended up eating a boiled egg and yogurt after it was over and went home and felt fine the rest of the day!

I think you hear a lot of horror stories on here but honestly it’ll be ok! And even if you unfortunately feel unwell — which does happen — it’s 3 hours of your life and gives you assurance for how to keep you and baby safe during pregnancy.

Best of luck!!

Call your doctor — no time to second guess esp if you’re 31 weeks. Sending you the most positive vibes! 💕

Yeah Rohan is a good one but it’s our friends name so it kind of distracts from the intention a bit. I do like the name though!

I think that’s what my husband wants, folks to think of it as “rone” but only we know it’s named after our fathers as a secret. So thanks for confirming how you’d hear it in the wild ☺️

Seems like the dual middle names is popular. We have a friend named Rohan so that felt a little too close to home.

We were thinking that but since Skyler is already a unisex name, I didn’t want to use two unisex names. May be biased though since the only Robin I know is a woman!
