Names from other countries… 🌍

What are people’s thoughts on using names from other countries/cultures when you don’t personally have ties to them?

I’ve fallen INLOVE with the name Rocco for our little boy, but we have absolutely no connection to Italy, where the name originates. My boyfriend’s dark features make him look Italian, but we very much aren’t. We are British. 🤣
I’m currently telling myself that if there are millions of little Luca’s around at the moment, why not Rocco? 😅

Rocco is actually really cute!! And honestly my name Tiffany is Greek and I'm most definitely not Greecian! Lol I sent think anytime really is from the origin of their name. I know most people have a special meaning to their names or maybe name after their ancestors but if you wanna do Rocco then you do Rocco!! I personally love that name too; it's to cute!!

Rocco also has old German roots! Also despite not being a super common name, its definitely a name that has become popularized outside of Italy so I don't see why not! Its definitely not a name I see someone getting teased for either, so if you love it I'd say lock it in 🥰

Rolling yet?

My LO is 16 weeks and not rolling yet. We have done a couple from front to back. But not back to front. She likes to sleep on her side and gets angry she can’t get there herself.

My oldest didn’t roll until he was a lot older but I wondered what everyone else’s January babies are doing.

What week did yours start to roll?

Small opening

I’m 8 week PP and there’s still a small bit of my wound that will not fully heal! It’s only surface level but one day it looks like it healing well then the next it’s open again. It’s only a tiny area and I’ve had antibiotics already. I’ll see the doctor about it when they open again next week but has anyone else had this and can give me any tips on helping it heal? Previous advise was let it open to air but that’s really hard while caring for a baby!

nasal congestion every night

My baby is 7 weeks old, and since the 3rd week, their nose has been stuffy in the early mornings. They're not sick, and there's nothing wrong during the day, but their nose gets stuffy around 5 am. Has anyone else experienced this?
