Have any of you ever had name regret that you used on your child? Like it’s been a year and a half, and I’ve decided I like a different name or different variation that name works way better and I wish I had thought of it back then. Unfortunately, it’s too close to my existing child’s name so I can’t use it on the next child, so I’m just stuck feeling guilty that I gave her a name that isn’t as versatile as the one I thought of years later lol. Oh well but wondering if anyone can relate

My daughter will be 19.5 months this summer when we fly to Italy (as a lap infant) where we will be staying for ~3 months. We will be flying out at ~3:30pm, 10h flight to Paris landing at ~1pm (idk if that counts as an overnight?), 2h layover then 2h flight to our final destination. How would you adjust the sleep schedule? I know we are lucky that we have plenty of time there for her to adjust to the jet lag, but any tips for adjusting sleep? Sh LIKES her schedule. Asks for night night when it’s around nap time. She’s never been a stroller napper. I’m bringing a baby carrier because she used to nap in that/on me when she was tiny. She normally has a very set one nap a day at home from 1-3pm at home but that of course won’t be doable on the flight day. She’s a pretty sensitive toddler and gets overstimulated easily! Any advice welcome, thanks!

What are we doing with our toddlers in lap for long flights? We will have a 10 hour flight on Air France in a few months when my toddler will be 19.5 months old. She is already 11kg/23lbs so she is/will be over the height and weight limit for the airline's bassinets. We do have bulkhead seats but do your toddlers easily sleep on you at this age? We haven't flown since she was ~9 months old and she still contact napped back then but hasn't since about that age. Just curious if anyone has any tips for sleep or flying in general with them at this age and size in your lap! (She gets overstimulated and fussy easily, so we don't do screens) TIA!

My 16mo likes to make a liar out of me whenever I think “she’s finally poop trained!” (we had gone over a month without a poop miss after almost a year of 2-3 poop misses at most a month). Well she was having some diaper free time at home as she doesn’t wear any 99% of the time during the day and she climbed into my empty suitcase while playing with her keyboard. I am turned around folding laundry and look over to see little poop nuggets falling into the brand new never used suitcase 🤦‍♀️
