My LO is George - I think (obviously) that it's a good strong name for a boy, nice and traditional.
I wouldnt worry about others with the same name - especially fictional characters - as the other shave said you will always find some association you dont like with any name!
Have you tried swaddling her?
Also does she get wind? My LO got awful wind for the first couple of weeks - he would only fall asleep upright on my chest and then I could put him down. If its wind try proping up the head end of her moses basket with books so her head is higher and wind can move...
Dont get on here much at all lately but I'm soooo happy to see this for you. Really wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy, fingers crossed for a sticky bean!
You could also try the "rugby ball hold" for LO when on you left - basically his body is curled around your side with your left arm over the top and then cupped under his head - means he is still lying on the same side even though its the other boob - may help. A feeding pillow or any pillows to...
I'm only just ready to do it now because I need help to attend courses to get more qualifications. She's lovely (if pretty full on and too much for me at times) but I just feel more comfortable with my own mum having LO as I think MIL fusses and worries so much that I'm not sure she would manage...
It's 3 jabs. My LO was fine that day but pretty out of sorts the next day - screamed when I tried to give him anything to eat and generally whingy (not teething i hasten to add) but then after a good nights sleep he was ok.
There is normally a growth spurt around 10 days and they will constantly suckle to increase the supply of milk. I know its super draining on your energy, My Lo is 14months now and I still remember those first few weeks where it was up and down a lot. Make sure you're drinking lots of water...
Everything Kbex sounds good. I flew with G at 12 weeks (an 8 hr flight) and I took my sling and then my car seat on the travel system base. Try to time your feeds so that you can be bf on take off and landing so LO is swallowing to equalise ears. The staff I'm sure will be lovely - they were...
It's your milk coming in! It's not a nice experience, mine also got really hot. For me cabbage leaves out of the fridge and hand expressing helped. It should settle down over the next few days as your body works out how much milk your LO needs. Also helps LO latch on if you hand express a bit -...
That is an interesting question -in the 'old' days when people lived as extended families/tribes they used to share the feeding of babies within the family so in that way there isn't anything 'wrong' with it. But I think for me personally I wouldnt be comfortable with anyone else bfing my LO or...
We're going through this at the moment. Can he lie himself back down? I tried staying in the room so he knew I was there but last night I resorted to lying him down, telling him 'sleep time' and then leaving for 5 mins - he howled but i could tell he was lying down every so often. I went back in...
Well we're just over the year mark and I am slowly stopping - have swapped out the night time feed for cows milk and some time in the new year I'll stop the morning feed - not sure when tbh, i'm thinking about 14months. We want to ttc next year so I wouldn't mind a break from feeding/growing...
