I used to watch you 7 or 8 years ago. I was learning the use of cloth pads. Then I moved to a big city, then university, life problems, adulthood and mental health issues. Of course I never forgot you. Stress has made my periods irregular for months now and I had to switch to cloth pads. And to learn their use RUclips gave me your videos again. This you is brilliant (you have always been brilliant). For some reason I'm nostalgic and proud. The baby in your arms makes me want to have one of mine. (I rarely get this feeling. I was so scared to motherhood because I thought I wasn't worthy). So beautiful ❤️.
Omg that smile at the beginning…. My husband has just left the room because he knows I’m gonna be hella broody after this vid 😅
Makes me so happy that you have this little man. I hadn't watched your channel in a long time and was wondering how you were doing and was over the moon to see you'd had the baby you've wanted for so long. He's so handsome ❤️
I love the way you speak to your son, so sweet and moving, it's making me emotional❤ you are doing amazing mama!
I'm so glad the interventions have worked for his weight gain! I really enjoy these. Getting to see how your day goes with him at specific ages and the changes that have been made are really neat! Thanks for sharing!
The best thing you can do is not be quiet when you're putting little sweetheart down to sleep. It's so much easier when you can teach your baby to sleep through noise. I made that mistake with my first baby, and my second until my health visitor showed me how to teach little ones to sleep through noise. My next three babies slept through their older siblings making a racket/hoovering/general large family noise.
I've brought my five up on my own. Good for you, you're doing great 👍 👏
I'm going to be a solo mom by choice at 45. I'm currenlty 28 and in college trying to improve my life. I'm in america, and I refuse to raise a child as a single mother under the proverty line. Your joy as a mother is keeping me motivating and inspired to become a mother someday!
Omg congrats on the baby! I just wanted you to know you taught me everything about myself when I was growing up. And it felt so much more easy to grasp and relate to bc we were basically the same age. Thankyou for your passion, thankyou for the knowledge you spread. Yall are adorable and I hope you're doing well 😊
Mine just turned 6 months on the 3rd, it’s my second baby and this one seems to be flying by even faster, i feel like i had her a month ago!
I said that same thing! People say time flies with a child but no one ever said that it went even quicker the second time around!! My Son will be six months on the 10th and my daughter turns 2 on Christmas Eve. Life has never went quicker than it has since I've become a mom....🥹😭
Your counter top idea for the breakfast bar is genius! I haven't seen that done before and I really like it! What a great compromise!
So proud of you. Your relationship with your son is so lovely.
Not to frighten, but I work with special needs kids and am very attuned to noticing these things : Has anyone mentioned that his left eye (at least in the video it's the left eye, I don't know if your camera mirrors) wanders fairly significantly to the inside? Might just be focusing on the camera lens or something, but it does seem to be going quite independently of the other which looks to have more control.
Glad little boy is picking up weight and doing well though, hope your cruise was fun
He might just be a lazy eye that he can control. I have one and now I wear glasses to keep my eyeball in place lol, but I don’t have disabilities of any sort. Although, she might want to look into it when he’s older.
@@themagicalcupcakeunicorn5755 I wasn't implying he had a disability, just mentioning why I'm noticing but the quicker something like that gets seen the more likely it is to have good corrective results, that's all
I have Duane Syndrome which is an eye condition that restricts movement. It does not usually need any treatment. I was diagnosed around 6 months old, Its just something that people are born with and it cant be cured. If Orin has something like this it will be obvious to a doctor and it usually is not something to worry too much about.
You are doing amazing as a single mum.
Just a tip teach him to sleep even in loud situations like the vacuum cleaning, talking etc it will really help you in the future with sleeping.
Speaking from 25 years nannying experience I did this with the little ones I looked after and it completely changed everything for the parents when they slept better even in loud situations.
I had 6 kids, and if they can sleep through noise, it certainly helps!! I am not a quiet person, dear in one ear, and tend to talk loudly, so off the bat my children just slept through noise.
You probably already know this, but check your nipple/flange size again for the breast that doesn’t respond to the pump any more. And also check that all the part have been replaced. I was an exclusive pumper for a year and I had that problem before and I had to hand express after pumps. I replaced pump parts and it did help with emptying. Hope you find a solution so that you will respond to the pump again.
I had to look up the rockit... that's really cool! Obviously, I was able to infer what it did, but I wanted to see it in action to know for sure and I was able to watch a video that showed it! Really cool!
Have you though about a vinyl film cover over the counter top to change the colour but keep costs low? Look at renter friendly diy’s they are often low cost and low maintenance in the grand scheme of things.
Hi, I was just reminded of you when I saw a cloth pad shorts, and it somehow got me thinking"hey I know where I was first saw this!!", so I used different words to search you up, and I've found you, it's been so long since I last watched you, I was a big a fan of yours when I was 12-13 exploring my early adolescent, now I'm 18, when I was watching your videos, you gave periods a whole new vibe, It sounded exciting, feminine and not scary as it actually is😅, I do appreciate your educative video, thank you.❤❤❤
Oryn is absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤ I love your journey and being able to watch it, thank you for sharing these vlogs
Well done! You are doing so well!!!
I just wanted to say I don’t know how old you are but I feel like I’ve grown up with you ❤️ I’m so grateful for all the content you’ve created over the years congratulations on your new bundle of joy
I used to watch your channel back when you were making your own cloth pads. I got my inspiration from you. Since then I have lost my husband to cancer plus other bad things in my life which made me lose interest in everything. Recently I thought about how you were doing and was surprised to see that you are a mother. Congratulations. Oryn is so cute. You are a brilliant mother. I'm binge watching as much as I can now.
He is the spitting image of you, everything! He is such a darling!!
Absolutely love your videos and your story. So happy for you. I love listebing to you talk! Im sure we'd make great friends if we lived in UK too. I have a 1 year old daughter 😊
I hope you read this comment. Here is how to deal with your neighbor. Give him a gift card to a gaming type store. Tell him how cool his hobby is. Let him tell you about his current fav game. Then nicely ask if he can keep the noise down at a certain time. Maybe even let him know of times where he can be louder without disturbing your little one. I bet he would be happy to be considerate.
Sometimes people aren’t responsive. I was super kind to my neighbour and gave her cookies and wrote a nice letter. She was ok for about a month then stopped responding to texts (I gave her my number) and was inconsiderate again. I hope her neighbour is responsive and kind
I'm so glad that Ori is gaining weight! How was your trip?
i think it was around 6 months that a bouncy chair became priceless for me! my little girl was SQUIRMY and she'd happily bounce alongside anything i was doing 😂 was much easier to keep her satisfied when i was busy then.
edit: heyy, that's exactly the kind of breakfast bar i have! (the wooden bit)
I think my little man was out of his by then as he reached over for a toy one day and uptipped his bouncer😮. So watch out for it x
Oooh I’ve read that Human Kind book, it’s great!
I've always loved seeing how other moms do their day & what works for them & their baby. As a mom myself (and new grandmother) also fostered several years ago, it's fun to see what's trendy now and what's not. I've tried it all that's for sure! Baby led weaning & super early bedtimes never worked for me. But I love seeing all the options these day! I've been watching Briony since she first started, I love her voice how she speaks so professionally all the time, she's such a sweet well spoken young lady. And now a wonderful mummy!!!!!
Much love from across the pond!!!
My son is 2 months older than yours and i used to watch your videos while i was pregnant this is so cute 😢🎉
He’s adorable ❤
Love your videos Orin a beautiful baby does he have squint his left eye goes in a little bit it just reminds me of my nephew he had to have glasses
That arm muscle comment you made 😅 girl i feel you. Once i woke up with stabbing pain through my arm because we forgot the stroller so i had to carry my baby all day. It was so terrible. 😅
He is so adorable ❤
I’ve been watching your old period vlogs to try and get ahold of mine. In vlog 3 you mentioned a sloggi bra. What style did you wear and does it give support? I also have a chemo port and need support to keep it from hurting when being pulled by my breast tissue.
So adorable 🥰 your such a good mother ❤❤
We do the knock on your head thing as well. Not sure if it's just my part of the US (midwest) or just my family maybe or what.
Hey, honestly love these 24 hour videos I tend to watch them during night feeds to keep myself awake
I wondered we have the same nursing pillow and I wanted to know if I can get replacement covers for it and if so where? We use it for every feed and I really need to get a spare cover 😅
I truly don’t know how you do it by yourself. Without my husband I swear I wouldn’t be able to do it.
Oh man, he is so freaking adorable 🥰
He’s adorable he looks just like you :)
Hi I love your channel and vlogs. A video i’d love to know is
if you plan to move in the future or buy a house ? mayb not the plan but would be interested to hear your thoughts and plans ? 😃❤️
The starfish part!!! 😂
I had the same issue with breastfeeding/pumping, with it not really working...not so much with the breastfeeding.. anyway. Do you find it's fine when he feeds? Just not with the pump? I had to massage the breast while pumping and give it more time, I also upped the suction for a few sucks here and there and it seemed to help a lot
The only way I get to do anything is putting my baby on the ergobaby! Saves our lives... this is my 3rd baby and couldn't manage without it ;)
Totally relate to that mum alone time x
Each region has problem with different prescription formulas, I always had a nightmare with my daughters, but literally the next town along had loads of it so you can never win 😂
Do you have any book recommendations for new/prospective parents.. I know you've read a lot. Were there any that you thought "yes, everyone should read this!"
My gosh he's so cute❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Definitely get his squint checked out x
How cool you’re coming to Norway! What kind of trip are you planning?
I’ve been following you for years, and now your baby-related videos are so helpful since Im currently 6 months pregnant🙊
Greeting from here!🇳🇴
Have you tried a Medela pump?
Wow he looks just like his dad
Are you looking forward Orin first Halloween 🎃 and Christmas ⛄🎁
Have you tried different flange sizes might be something you have already tried xx
I found before working out my correct flange size it would be painful to pump and I really wasn’t getting much milk but now I have the right flange inserts my pumps are working better and I’m getting more milk. My baby girl has CHD. She has a large VSD (hole in heart) and DORV (it’s to do with the plumbing in the heart). Up until ten days she was fed completely off the breast but since then I have gone to exclusively pumping and she is now completely fed via NG tube and pump. We had medical people and health visitors coming out twice a week for weigh in and she is now getting weighed once a week and is having her open heart surgery on the 6th October but we have so many appointments and things to remember. We were on a high calorie formula but it didn’t agree with her so she is just on breast milk and finally gaining weight ahead of surgery xx
Unsure how to reply to your stories on FB without everyone and their dog seeing it from my friends list. But when you went on the cruise ship I really wanted to say SHOE ORGANIZER!! it's ideal for kids packing on holiday. I rolled all of baby's rompers, outfits to vests, babygrows, toys, toiletries, swimwear all into a £12 shoe organizer from Argos. I have a dyno label machine so tagged all the pockets with what's in them then when I arrived I just hung his shoe organizer from a door...boom...sorted 👌 and bought Lidl nappies when we arrived.
Sterilizing zippy bags are also great for travel. You just add a little water and pop the item in, whack it in the microwave and your done, each bag can be used I'm sure it's like 10 times
Oh and formula...if your flying order it to boots 'After Security' and it won't count towards your luggage allocation ☺️
You need to move the changing part over the cot as he'll start rolling all over soon and be down the end of the cot.
Most people your age and mine want to just party, have fun and know nothing about life purposes.... meanwhile, you found your purpose and tou have taken responsibility being a foster and a bio mum and have your own business. I admire you!! And your baby looks so much like you !
Nothing wrong with either. Life's different for everyone and that's how it's supposed to be.
They’re both valid choices. Your ‘purpose’ is different for everyone. Bryony has found hers which is amazing
there’s no single “purpose”. to assume others have no purpose in life because they don’t follow your life plans is narcissistic.
Nothing wrong with having fun and not having children. Not everyone wants or has a desire to kids and their lives and choices are still valid

He looks a lot like you
I highly recommend breast massagers if you’re having trouble with pumping and your boob isn’t responding.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
From my experience, mums who judge other mums.. aren’t good mums. Always
Intrigued to know why you decided to show babys face
Babies all look the same really until like a year or two… a lot of people are comfortable showing them this young and will stop showing them when the baby ‘features’ start to mature. Maybe this is her thought also.
@brionyhall4250 : I do remember her saying prior to Oryns arrival that she would show him up to a year old and then re assess this so you might be right 👍
That makes sense thanks both
Yeah, unfortunately it's true that baby and young child videos are v popular with predators. I hope she doesn't get tempted to keep showing him by the money.
What's wrong with his eye? It's tripping me out.
Bro, stop he's a baby!
How on Earth do you manage to teach Oryn to sleep through the night! My baby boy is 1y1m and he still wakes up like 3-5 times 🥲
