You guys are doing just fine. You love your son and you're taking great care of him. If he's burping a lot, something is making him gassy. Either the formula or something Mommy is eating, as it passes through to him via your breast milk. All babies go through their little pimple phase. It should pass. If you get too concerned, call his doctor. A lot of women aren't able to produce sufficient breast milk. Don't be hard on yourself. You're wonderful. The formula will still keep him healthy. He is adorable. Just the cutest little baby. In america, we have Christenings to bless our babies. Or some other form of blessing ceremonies. Very special times. Daddy, you're holding him just fine... Just keep him comfortable. You two are a great team and great parents. Thank you so much for sharing. Wolfie is so sweet and cute. ❤️🙂
No worries about the pimples, apparently it happens to almost every baby. It's the sebaceous glands getting bigger with the oil and then smaller and that basically causes inflammation, the baby gets it from mother's placenta. It happens around 1-2 week after the birth usually and will pass away, only that baby boys have it worse than baby girls :) Also thank you very much, you two are so nice and watching you taking care of Wolfie and sharing with us means so much ❤️
If he's fed and makes noise, but isn't crying, it's okay if he plays on his own, while you try and get some more rest. Sometimes keeping a journal of what Maiko eats, might help to figure out what causes him to be gassy. It'll help to know what foods to stay away from, so he doesn't have stomach problems. Just an idea. It's hard when a baby has colic.
@@mrashali5759, I saw on Google Store, a BabyBook Journal and Baby journal (Babyrepo). Not sure what they entail, though. I've never used them. I had to try and keep track the old fashioned way. Check them out and see if they are what you're looking for.
@@mrashali5759 I used FeedBaby, it has a free and paid version, but I sprung for the paid version because then it allows me to export the data onto a spreadsheet. I used it for the first year and it was really helpful keeping track of sleep and eat schedules.
Our son is currently 11 months old and he's just now starting to get used to a schedule. It helped me so much to go with the flow on the hard days. Never forget, you're doing awesome and Wolfie is blessed to have you all as parents! No parent is perfect and no baby is the same
New parenting is crazy hard! I can't even imagine. But you both love him so much and are doing everything you can for him. AKA you're doing everything right ❤️ much love from Texas, USA. You're wonderful parents and a beautiful couple. Keep making these awesome update vids
I love how Paolo adores his baby. Maiko you are a wonderful mother, take as rest if you can (sleep during the day if you can too). You guys are doing really really well ❤️
Even though you are first time parents you can clearly see that you care about him and you try to do the best you can/know. Just continue doing that :) You are an adorable family!
Your doing a great job with the baby. The 1st baby is a learning experience. All first time parents have had issues with one thing or the other with a baby. It will work out for you, ir just takes time.
Paolo, Maiko, you’re doing GREAT!! Be patient with yourselves as this is very new territory for you AND Wolfy. One. Day. At. A. Time. I was the same way with my firstborn, and by the time her brother, sister, and the grandkids came, I am a Rock Star Grandparent (according to my kids🤣)... if they only knew the process. Blessings!
My wife and I have been watching your channel for a couple of years now and were surprised when we found out that we pretty much had our sons at the same time. Anyways, it’s really nice to see someone we’ve “known” for a while going through the same new experiences and tribulations as we are. Love the videos you two, keep it up!
If you use formula it interrupts your breast milk, put Wolfie to your breast for every feed for a few days to get the production up. Pumping does not work until your breast feeding is fully established, and yours isn’t yet, I was part of a breast feeding advisory group and fed both my children
Yup.... In the first three months, pumping is not a measure of how much you produce. Feed every 2-3 hours round the clock to establish supply. Ditch the formula.
Hey guys! Doing super great, we were in your position only a year ago and things will get better! The sleep will get better as Wolfy develops his own rhythm. Its hard but try and enjoy these early days as much as you can because they are never this small again and its such a valuable and precious time. Gambate!!
You guys are doing great. He is so cute. For the burping, put him on his belly on your lap and rub his back,or pat his back harder. I had to do that when my son was born. You're so lucky with that sterilization gadget. I remember boiling the bottles and doing a lot on my own. You guys seriously are doing great.
Good job guys. You guys are looking great as parents who had little sleep. Video quality looks great, though no one would fault you if it slips a bit for the lack of sleep and little time. No book or advice can prepare you for being a parent. Just know you guys are doing great. I remembered at your current stage enjoying the moments of my daughter recognizing me with her opened eyes and smile. Enjoy these moments and record them for your self. Then have a program that shows you the photo each year on the same day. Keep up being you. Understand mistakes will occur. No parent is perfect. It's okay to feel down now and then. Sometimes tempers will flare. It okay for both of you sometimes want to be alone. It okay to cry for no reason. It's normal to have regrets. Just remember to talk to each other about all your feelings including the not so rosy one. We all had them. I had to constantly push my wife to go out with her friends during this stage of raising a baby, to let her get some relief. They have a term called postpartum depression. It hits hard and it's can hit any time. Just know it normal and it will pass. It can feel overwhelming. Dark thoughts will come. Just remember it quite common. And to share these thoughts with your partner no matter how silly it is. My heart goes out to you, as one parent to another parent. You guys are doing a great job.
You guys are doing just fine!! He's so lucky to have such attentive parents. The first 3 months is the hardest in terms of sleep, so just hold on :) Soon Wolfy will start to sleep longer and eventually through the night. My 9 month old sleeps 12 hrs overnight now and I honestly didn't know what to do with all the extra time I had haha. Just wait till those first smiles and giggles start, it's the best.
Our baby is about the same age as Wolfie, so we’ve been going thru a lot of the same things you guys have been. It can be tough and scary trying to figure things out, but you guys seem to be doing a great job. I was initially stressing out about producing enough milk and setting and schedules, etc. My husband convinced me to supplement with formula and to throw out the schedule and things got a lot easier to manage. My only complaint might be that the formula made him more gassy (from both ends 😆). I was also banned from googling baby info, because I was freaking myself out. If you're pumping after nursing, then there may not be much milk coming out since he may be drinking most of it. I thought I wasn't producing that much either until my in-laws took care of the baby for us one weekend. I was pumping so much more milk, I was so surprised! So don't get discouraged! But there's nothing wrong with formula either. My sister in law's baby was formula fed and he's perfectly healthy.
Hi, just for sharing, for the pigeon brand milk bottles that you are using, you need to remove the teat from the yellow ring(teat holder) for sterilisation and washing. Otherwise, mould will grow between the teat and yellow ring
Hey Paolo and Maiko! Honestly don't worry about making Wolfy fit to a schedule. It will change so much! With my daughter I put her to sleep when she was tired and fed her/changed her when she needed it. That's it! Now my daughter is one and sleeps approx 6:30pm to 6:30am. I never made this schedule, she just did this on her own! I moved our daughter to her own room at 2 months because any tiny noise or grunt in her sleep woke me 😅 Nurses suggest they sleep in your room until 6-12 months old but I couldn't do it.
If you are having trouble acquiring distilled water, inquire at a medical supply store or medical supply company. Distilled water is necessary for humidity chambers and other medical equipment so that mineral deposits don't build up on the components.
@@trtrhr I personally havent had any kids but I have taken care of newborns for years and, yes it's hard to suggest some things to new tired moms, but if at the end of the day, they need help and you see them struggling it's always best to be subtle and kind with the help you give! It's for the comfort of the little one after all c:
I have read some articles about cleaning infants bottles. Some cook the bottles in water for 5 minutes 1 - 2 times a week. The most important thing is mild dish detergent and clean and flush well with clean water. It is enough with the usual water, because today we use clean water when we use tap water. You do not need distilled water to clean the bottles
You Both work Great together and As for your Baby he's a Precious Blessing to Compliment You Both Thank you for taking time to shared keep it going❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys are doing just fine. One of the best pieces of advice I've heard is "Don't compare your insides to others' outsides." Other people may SEEM like they have it all together (baby schedule.. etc...) but we all have our own struggles. You are doing perfectly fine. And Maiko, that dang mother's instinct! It's such an adjustment! With my first born, even when my husband tended to the baby at night, I'd still hear EVERY little noise the baby made and it would keep me up anyway. We're expecting our second in February, a boy, so I can't stop watching these videos! They make me so happy! God bless the three of you, such a beautiful family :)
I breast fed both my boys and learned really quickly that in order to produce more milk I had to drink water around the clock. The more you drink the more breast milk your body makes. This was huge for me and wished someone would have told me that!
I agree with this. For me, I drank water WHILE breastfeeding and that actually helped to trigger more letdowns (when the milk flows quickly). Staying hydrated helps with milk production I think... at least it helped me a lot. I also bfd on demand in the initial weeks which seemed to help establish my supply. My SIL had a baby at around the same time but she didn't like drinking water and she also supplemented baby with formula and in the end her supply never really got established. All the best! You two are doing great! Being first time parents is a steep learning curve and a wild ride. You got this!
You guys are doing a wonderful job! And don’t worry about the way you are holding him; so long as you are supporting his head it’s all good! I know my husband would hold our son like that all the time when he was 3 weeks old so he could look at his face. (he just turned 4 months old today). It almost feels like a distant memory when my son was waking up every 3 hours to feed. The first two nights after returning from the hospital he was up every few hours, but after that he got into the routine of being fed every three hours which was nice to have some sort of schedule. However after he turned three weeks old it all changed. I had fed him at 12am and my body woke up at 3am for his next feeding, I had just warmed up the bottle, but he was still asleep; I figured any moment now he would wake up, so I just turned the tv on until I heard him cry. I ended up falling asleep on the couch and woke up again at 6am. I had not heard my son cry at all and I freaked out. I ran to his nursery in tears thinking I had killed my baby. I picked him up and put my head to his chest to hear his heart beat. He squirmed in my arms and gave me this glare like “what the hell mom? Why did you wake me up?” From that point on he started sleeping through the night. At first it was 7hrs, then 8 hrs, and then 9hrs....now he sleeps a solid 12 hours before waking up and wanting his bottle. I almost feel guilty at times for how well my son sleeps. Other moms try and joke with me about not getting enough sleep, meanwhile I’m just sitting there like “actually I got 7 hrs of sleep last night and my baby sleeps 12hrs.”
Have you guys heard of dream feeding? It's a feed you do while they are asleep but closer too a feed they are going too have so they can sleep through. I found that it takes around 4 months till they know day and night. Amazing work your doing guys. It's so great when the father can help out. My husband wasnt able to as he had to go back to work.
As long as his head is supported, he is comfortable and he can breathe you can hold him any way you want, i think you two are doing an awesome job being parents, he is a lucky little guy.
I just had a quick look at your instagram and at 5 months or so he is gorgeous, animated, just lovely - you have obviously been doing something right!! xxx
Look what love made! Wolfie is such a beautiful baby! Y’all are taking to parenting like a duck to water! It is exhausting, especially at first, but the most rewarding thing you’ll ever do.Thank you for sharing your sweet journey with us! 💜
Hi from a new subscriber, just discovered you guys! As someone with a bunch of nephews and a niece, I think you're doing great! Wolfy seems very content and you guys are trying to keep things chill, which is good for him AND you. I wish all of you health and good luck!
Every parent was new at some point. We’ve all made mistakes and done things others say is wrong. The important thing is your intention and learning. You guys seem like sweet parents that wolfie is lucky to have. Enjoy this time without worrying about us ❤️🙏
Hi guys, you're doing great! We've raised 6 kiddos and all on a schedule, sleeping through night by 6 weeks (and some earlier). The main advice I can give you is to think of each cycle as EAT, WAKE then SLEEP (always in that order!). For example: baby wakes - feed straight away - change nappy (or before feed if needs it) then the rest of this cycle is his WAKE time. That can be a short kick time on his back or in his little seat. This whole cycle from the time he gets out of bed to when he goes back to bed should only be about 45 - 60 mins long at his age of 3 weeks. At night feed it's just FEED change nappy then back to SLEEP. Soon his day/nights will become sorted and he'll sleep longer stretches at night. He can start on a predictable 3 hours from one feed to the next feed cycle. As he gets bigger he will stretch to 3.5hrs and 4hrs between feeds during the day. Nights will stretch out :-). One thing I know is, ENJOY the newborn moments you have with him - it's so tiring I know!!! But oh so precious. You are doing a great job :-)
Aww, he's growing, and so cute 😊💖 ...and at 0:58 seconds, the TV kind of scared me because I thought it was a reflection 😅 like "who is that in the corner?" 😅
This will be the best "most interesting" time of your lives... nothing will come close to being parents for the first time. Best wishes and much love for the "big 3 "
Just had my second child 5 months ago. You’re doing great! First time parenting is hard! You worry all the time about everything. In the beginning the baby doesn’t have a schedule - they sleep a lot and not very consistently. For each passing month your baby becomes more awake. Every baby is different - some get a schedule early and others get it very late. You can’t say that either is better than the other. The only thing you can do is go with your babies pattern and ride it out. And remember to hug and kiss and give love and attention! You can’t spoil a baby at this age - he needs his mom and dad. You both look like loving parents and for you to worry so much means you are on the right path!
You guys are doing just fine! there is no right or wrong in bringing up a baby. Believe me, you figure out as you go. He looks such a healthy, happy baby, just enjoy the moment because it flies by!
My two kids didn't burb a lot too. So don't worry. My husband and I usually take turn to take care of the baby at night. He was taking care of the baby before 2am. And I will take care after that no matter the baby woke up or not
I want to tell you that you are doing great and things will get easier and easier. Usually 3 weeks, then 6 weeks, 12 weeks and then at 3 months, 6 months etc. in 3 month cycles. Our daughter quit night time feedings at 10 weeks old and has since then slept the whole night! Now she's 7 months old and still sleeps great so hang in there you'll get to sleep again I promise ♥
Such a cutie! It's a journey and y'all seem like great parents. I highly recommend buying your own electric distiller. It's a life and money saver. I bought one online because I use distilled water in my cpap machine and it was the best $65 I've ever spent.
For destilled water: you can use the water that is produced in the tumbler. That is actually destilled water. But you have to filter it for fluff. Just pour it into a coffee filter and it‘s done.
Aww I'm just catching up with all the baby vlogs. You guys are too hard on yourself. You are, after all keeping a baby alive so far. You done great 👏🏼 He's so cute now and big (I've watched some of the recent vlogs). Looking forward to watching more xxx
Look at you both -- pros already! Such a lovely family ❤ thank you for continuing to share it. My baby will be 5 months tomorrow, so it's lovely to "look back" and relive everything via Wolfie xD It's a wonderful journey, but it's also the hardest work ever! Good job, mama and dada!
First time parenting can be scary with all the unknowns and learning curves but you're doing great and you'll pick up what works and what doesn't along the way :) Sleep training is tough but it definitely does get better and you guys are already getting to the other side of the hardest period. Around 6 months he should have a more reliable sleep schedule so hang in there just a bit longer! My husband and I love your channel in general but especially love the Wolfy updates and we're excited to see where the adventure of parenting takes you both. Best wishes from London xx
Predicting a newborn schedule is so hard! And once you think you have it nailed, they change it up on you 😅 I have a 2 1/2 year old, so this is all still fresh in my memory. Now she sleeps all night for 11-12 hours, but that first 18 months was filled with unpredictable patches of good and terrible sleeping. I cannot recommend getting him on a firm schedule with a good night routine right around the 3 month mark. The change in a baby's sleep around 3-4 months can seriously rock you. Just be kind to yourselves. You're doing great 😻
Yall have a beautiful family! God Bless you guys! And all you can do is try your best, yall are great parents and I love that you both are home with the baby all day. I am a stay at home mom of 2 under 2 and it can be tough on one person. I love seeing yall help each other out! That is what family is about, having each others backs! And Wolfy is going to be so smart and curious about the world! A lovely trait to get from a lovely pair like you both!
my dad held me the exact same way when I was a baby. My dad's arms are HUGE and long so I got held in that position for a long part of my infancy. Until recently he still held babies that way and my family is rather large so we have lots of babies running around.
You can try to gradually adjust his sleeping and feeding time to what you can accommodate more easily. They can be trained. E.g. Feed extra in the night, say 9, 10pm, so that he won't wake up in the night because of hunger.
Just a suggestion, try to wrap the new born baby. The baby will feel secure & sleep well, & you guys can sleep longer too . I’ve done it to my 2 kids before, it works pretty well. Hope it helps 🥰
You don't have to waste money on distilled water. All you need to do is boil the water that you typically drink, use a fresh cloth to filter as you pour it. I just kept a pitcher boiled fresh every morning so its fresh. Good luck. Also don't follow any books, just listen to your baby. He will tell you his needs it just takes time to get adjusted to understanding his cries and what they mean. That's really the hardest thing of having a newborn is learning their language because all babies have different ways of communicating they are much smarter than you may realize they listen, track you watching everything so you will know their sensitivities to certain things. Best blessings and warmest wishes go Taiga Wolverine you have a very masculine name indeed!
you guys are doing fab we are ALL fingers and thumbs with our 1st child. Those little spot are milk spot whatever you do ,do not squeeze them look forward to your next video x
Maiko, Paolo (We LOVE your Family) and we can’t help but mention that we had the same exact issue with our daughter. She had pimples like Wolfy. I was breastfeeding and supplementing with formula then. My doctor suggested that we switch her to hypoallergenic milk (vegetable based-Nutramigen) as the cow’s protein was a bit much for her to digest. In less than two weeks after the slow transition, her skin cleared out and she became less fussy. We were also advised to wash with just Ivory on all our clothes and linens and used cetaphil as her baby wash. The best decision ever. We hope this helps you too. Love watching all your vlogs!! Can’t wait ti visit Japan again!!
Pretty sure distilled water is 蒸留水！you can find it in drugstores. when my dad came to stay he needed distilled water for his c-pap machine and we were able to find it in our local drugstore no problem. :)
Nanit.com has a baby sleep schedule that worked pretty good for my 2 kids. You can put in the time when they typically wake for the day and it will give you a nap and feeding scedule for their age
Paolo thank you for being considerate in putting the link for TokyoZebra. I was wondering why I do not receive notifications for Tokyo Zebra. I discovered that the notif with the regular bell was not on. Silly me.
U guys are great parents and he’s so sweet! I have had two babies and had found that the feed wake sleep cycle helped me to direct times for them to sleep- the book baby wise gives some good guidelines and tips based on the baby’s age how to help them sleep and eat around times based on their circadian rhythm. Adjust things as needed to Baby and ur parenting . Hope it helps if u give it a go. Love both your channels thanks for sharing ur sweet family. U really are doing great 👍🥰 👶
He’s so little, he has developed enough to have a good sleep cycle. I know it can be hard but it will be easier the older he gets. Pumping will not show you how much baby is getting. Baby is much more effective at getting milk out xx You guys are doing great!! Enjoy this time it really is so short XX
Guys, you are doing great! I am no mother, so I have no experience, but Wolfy is healthy and you are keeping up and you care... I think that equals that you are amazin parents!
Fantastic team work! Your communication and loving support towards each will only continue to strengthen your bond and success as parents. ❤❤❤ Breastfeeding tip: increase the amount of water you are drinking (keeping water by the bed at night helps). Also exclusive breastfeeding along with regular Nighttime feedings at the beginning can increase your supply (about 20% of baby's total intake happens at night). This can help baby develop their Circadian rhythms faster. I did this with my first two and they both were sleeping 5-6 hours continuously at night by 8 weeks old. Again you both are doing fantastic 🥰 truly inspiring ❤❤ Keep at it! Things truly get easier with time and practice.
He’s your first and you will make mistakes. Bu he will be all right and so will you two. Don’t worry about making mistakes, just love him and enjoy him. They grow so fast.
Maiko and Paolo....you two are GREAT parents! You're filled with love and patience. I love watching your videos :) I'm a mom of 4, I think you're doing just fine xoxo Kisses to Wolfy! Love from Las Vegas.
We just got our son on 1st October. So we are now working on schedule our new born as well. Lol I was struggling with pumping as well, and it's hard. My nurse adviced to pump 8 times a day and at first you feed him with your milk and formular. It took me 8 days before I am now able to pump and feed him directly enough. So you need to work pretty hard to get there. Gambatte!
You guys are doing just fine. You love your son and you're taking great care of him. If he's burping a lot, something is making him gassy. Either the formula or something Mommy is eating, as it passes through to him via your breast milk. All babies go through their little pimple phase. It should pass. If you get too concerned, call his doctor. A lot of women aren't able to produce sufficient breast milk. Don't be hard on yourself. You're wonderful. The formula will still keep him healthy.
He is adorable. Just the cutest little baby.
In america, we have Christenings to bless our babies. Or some other form of blessing ceremonies. Very special times. Daddy, you're holding him just fine... Just keep him comfortable.
You two are a great team and great parents. Thank you so much for sharing. Wolfie is so sweet and cute. ❤️🙂
Beautiful comment
I have great news for you, once you have his routine down packed, it will change. I look forward to your 27 new schedule charts!
Fingers crossed!
A lesson they should tell parents from conception!
Yes their schedules will change as they grow. I have a 2.5 yr old so all of this is fresh in my memory. Good luck!
Haha.
LOL true story
No worries about the pimples, apparently it happens to almost every baby.

My baby had those pimples too on his 3rd week but it eventually disappear before his 2 month.

You're so lucky with that sterilization gadget. I remember boiling the bottles and doing a lot on my own. You guys seriously are doing great.
It makes me so happy to see how involved you are in Wolfy's life, as someone who was raised by a single mom. Love to you and your family from NYC!
0:57 Lol I literally thought that was a reflection and there's some guy just standing next to Maiko and watching you xDD
Me too lol! I was like "Who are these people?" XD
Me too. Looks like a priest
Hahah same!
Good job guys. You guys are looking great as parents who had little sleep. Video quality looks great, though no one would fault you if it slips a bit for the lack of sleep and little time.

Maiko: is there any holidays/celebrations for babies in US?
Paolo: Thanksgiving
Lol
if u think abt it, babies are kinda harvest too
😂 to celebrate this occasion, the baby passes a test where it captures it's first wild turkey!
You guys are doing just fine!! He's so lucky to have such attentive parents. The first 3 months is the hardest in terms of sleep, so just hold on :) Soon Wolfy will start to sleep longer and eventually through the night. My 9 month old sleeps 12 hrs overnight now and I honestly didn't know what to do with all the extra time I had haha. Just wait till those first smiles and giggles start, it's the best.
His eyes widened up when the machine started moving, and my heart just melted.
Our baby is about the same age as Wolfie, so we’ve been going thru a lot of the same things you guys have been. It can be tough and scary trying to figure things out, but you guys seem to be doing a great job. I was initially stressing out about producing enough milk and setting and schedules, etc. My husband convinced me to supplement with formula and to throw out the schedule and things got a lot easier to manage. My only complaint might be that the formula made him more gassy (from both ends 😆). I was also banned from googling baby info, because I was freaking myself out.
If you're pumping after nursing, then there may not be much milk coming out since he may be drinking most of it. I thought I wasn't producing that much either until my in-laws took care of the baby for us one weekend. I was pumping so much more milk, I was so surprised! So don't get discouraged! But there's nothing wrong with formula either. My sister in law's baby was formula fed and he's perfectly healthy.
Hi, just for sharing, for the pigeon brand milk bottles that you are using, you need to remove the teat from the yellow ring(teat holder) for sterilisation and washing. Otherwise, mould will grow between the teat and yellow ring
Wolfy in 18 years: "Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. You may have seen me from my parent's view, but let me show now from my perspective."😇
Thats to sweet, I look forward to seeing and liking his videos!
Hey Paolo and Maiko! Honestly don't worry about making Wolfy fit to a schedule. It will change so much!
With my daughter I put her to sleep when she was tired and fed her/changed her when she needed it. That's it!
Now my daughter is one and sleeps approx 6:30pm to 6:30am. I never made this schedule, she just did this on her own!
I moved our daughter to her own room at 2 months because any tiny noise or grunt in her sleep woke me 😅 Nurses suggest they sleep in your room until 6-12 months old but I couldn't do it.
Love watching your videos Paolo. Blessings to you and your family Stay safe 🙏🏼
Same to you!
If you are having trouble acquiring distilled water, inquire at a medical supply store or medical supply company. Distilled water is necessary for humidity chambers and other medical equipment so that mineral deposits don't build up on the components.
I love seeing videos about new parents trying it all out for the first time. I've had 2 kids so it's good to see others suffering too.
Might want to pat him a little bit harder while burping, or rubbing his back in the same way u would pat or rub a dog or cat. Not to hard of course!
@@trtrhr I personally havent had any kids but I have taken care of newborns for years and, yes it's hard to suggest some things to new tired moms, but if at the end of the day, they need help and you see them struggling it's always best to be subtle and kind with the help you give! It's for the comfort of the little one after all c:
@@sabbrinam and be nice to them of course because they have a really stressful time taking care of a baby,especially a new born
I have read some articles about cleaning infants bottles.
Some cook the bottles in water for 5 minutes 1 - 2 times a week.
The most important thing is mild dish detergent and clean and flush well with clean water.
It is enough with the usual water, because today we use clean water when we use tap water.
You do not need distilled water to clean the bottles
You Both work Great together and As for your Baby he's a Precious Blessing to Compliment You Both Thank you for taking time to shared keep it going❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys are doing just fine. One of the best pieces of advice I've heard is "Don't compare your insides to others' outsides." Other people may SEEM like they have it all together (baby schedule.. etc...) but we all have our own struggles. You are doing perfectly fine.
And Maiko, that dang mother's instinct! It's such an adjustment! With my first born, even when my husband tended to the baby at night, I'd still hear EVERY little noise the baby made and it would keep me up anyway. We're expecting our second in February, a boy, so I can't stop watching these videos! They make me so happy! God bless the three of you, such a beautiful family :)
Love you videos! It's keeping us sane through this whole pandemic.
I breast fed both my boys and learned really quickly that in order to produce more milk I had to drink water around the clock. The more you drink the more breast milk your body makes. This was huge for me and wished someone would have told me that!
I agree with this. For me, I drank water WHILE breastfeeding and that actually helped to trigger more letdowns (when the milk flows quickly). Staying hydrated helps with milk production I think... at least it helped me a lot. I also bfd on demand in the initial weeks which seemed to help establish my supply. My SIL had a baby at around the same time but she didn't like drinking water and she also supplemented baby with formula and in the end her supply never really got established. All the best! You two are doing great! Being first time parents is a steep learning curve and a wild ride. You got this!
I drink lots of beef, pork chicken soup and seashell soup they make me produce milk like crazy
You guys are doing a wonderful job! And don’t worry about the way you are holding him; so long as you are supporting his head it’s all good! I know my husband would hold our son like that all the time when he was 3 weeks old so he could look at his face. (he just turned 4 months old today).
It almost feels like a distant memory when my son was waking up every 3 hours to feed. The first two nights after returning from the hospital he was up every few hours, but after that he got into the routine of being fed every three hours which was nice to have some sort of schedule. However after he turned three weeks old it all changed. I had fed him at 12am and my body woke up at 3am for his next feeding, I had just warmed up the bottle, but he was still asleep; I figured any moment now he would wake up, so I just turned the tv on until I heard him cry. I ended up falling asleep on the couch and woke up again at 6am. I had not heard my son cry at all and I freaked out. I ran to his nursery in tears thinking I had killed my baby. I picked him up and put my head to his chest to hear his heart beat. He squirmed in my arms and gave me this glare like “what the hell mom? Why did you wake me up?”
From that point on he started sleeping through the night. At first it was 7hrs, then 8 hrs, and then 9hrs....now he sleeps a solid 12 hours before waking up and wanting his bottle. I almost feel guilty at times for how well my son sleeps. Other moms try and joke with me about not getting enough sleep, meanwhile I’m just sitting there like “actually I got 7 hrs of sleep last night and my baby sleeps 12hrs.”
how feel to have a newborn after both make me smile
Have you guys heard of dream feeding? It's a feed you do while they are asleep but closer too a feed they are going too have so they can sleep through.
I found that it takes around 4 months till they know day and night.
Amazing work your doing guys. It's so great when the father can help out. My husband wasnt able to as he had to go back to work.
When the content’s about a baby, I’ll watch from start to end!! ☺️❤️
As long as his head is supported, he is comfortable and he can breathe you can hold him any way you want, i think you two are doing an awesome job being parents, he is a lucky little guy.
You guys are doing an amazing job as new parents. Keep up the awesome work. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
You guys are the best. Thank you for trying very hard to nurse him
I just had a quick look at your instagram and at 5 months or so he is gorgeous, animated, just lovely - you have obviously been doing something right!! xxx
9:09 the face she makes when he said the baby has been “fairly”quiet 🤣
Look what love made! Wolfie is such a beautiful baby! Y’all are taking to parenting like a duck to water! It is exhausting, especially at first, but the most rewarding thing you’ll ever do.Thank you for sharing your sweet journey with us! 💜
Great job with the scheduling. A lot of parents have a hard time with it and each couple comes up with their own routine.
Hi from a new subscriber, just discovered you guys! As someone with a bunch of nephews and a niece, I think you're doing great! Wolfy seems very content and you guys are trying to keep things chill, which is good for him AND you. I wish all of you health and good luck!
Every parent was new at some point. We’ve all made mistakes and done things others say is wrong. The important thing is your intention and learning. You guys seem like sweet parents that wolfie is lucky to have. Enjoy this time without worrying about us ❤️🙏
Hi guys, you're doing great! We've raised 6 kiddos and all on a schedule, sleeping through night by 6 weeks (and some earlier). The main advice I can give you is to think of each cycle as EAT, WAKE then SLEEP (always in that order!). For example: baby wakes - feed straight away - change nappy (or before feed if needs it) then the rest of this cycle is his WAKE time. That can be a short kick time on his back or in his little seat. This whole cycle from the time he gets out of bed to when he goes back to bed should only be about 45 - 60 mins long at his age of 3 weeks. At night feed it's just FEED change nappy then back to SLEEP. Soon his day/nights will become sorted and he'll sleep longer stretches at night. He can start on a predictable 3 hours from one feed to the next feed cycle. As he gets bigger he will stretch to 3.5hrs and 4hrs between feeds during the day. Nights will stretch out :-). One thing I know is, ENJOY the newborn moments you have with him - it's so tiring I know!!! But oh so precious. You are doing a great job :-)
You're both doing a great job. He looks well and is growing and you'll learn how he likes to be held and so on. He's beautiful.
The moment Wolfy snuck in a quick smile 😍💗
CONGRATULAITIONS FOR HAVING A BABY I HOPE HE WILL GROW HEALTHY AND SURVIVE THIS PANDEMIC
Aww, he's growing, and so cute 😊💖 ...and at 0:58 seconds, the TV kind of scared me because I thought it was a reflection 😅 like "who is that in the corner?" 😅
It scare me too when I first saw it. lol.
0:58
So what was that reflection that looks like a priest?!
I'm glad he's growing up healthy and happy so far!
FYI, you can make your own distilled water by boiling the water, let it cool down and store in clean capped container.
You guys are doing great! Mom- you’re doing such a good job!
You guys are the cutest. So happy Wolfy is healthy and growing!
This will be the best "most interesting" time of your lives... nothing will come close to being parents for the first time. Best wishes and much love for the "big 3 "
Just had my second child 5 months ago.
You’re doing great! First time parenting is hard! You worry all the time about everything. In the beginning the baby doesn’t have a schedule - they sleep a lot and not very consistently. For each passing month your baby becomes more awake. Every baby is different - some get a schedule early and others get it very late. You can’t say that either is better than the other. The only thing you can do is go with your babies pattern and ride it out. And remember to hug and kiss and give love and attention! You can’t spoil a baby at this age - he needs his mom and dad. You both look like loving parents and for you to worry so much means you are on the right path!
You guys are doing just fine! there is no right or wrong in bringing up a baby. Believe me, you figure out as you go. He looks such a healthy, happy baby, just enjoy the moment because it flies by!
My two kids didn't burb a lot too. So don't worry. My husband and I usually take turn to take care of the baby at night. He was taking care of the baby before 2am. And I will take care after that no matter the baby woke up or not
I want to tell you that you are doing great and things will get easier and easier. Usually 3 weeks, then 6 weeks, 12 weeks and then at 3 months, 6 months etc. in 3 month cycles. Our daughter quit night time feedings at 10 weeks old and has since then slept the whole night! Now she's 7 months old and still sleeps great so hang in there you'll get to sleep again I promise ♥
he is growing and happy.. You are doing well don't worry about it.
Such a cutie! It's a journey and y'all seem like great parents. I highly recommend buying your own electric distiller. It's a life and money saver. I bought one online because I use distilled water in my cpap machine and it was the best $65 I've ever spent.
For destilled water: you can use the water that is produced in the tumbler. That is actually destilled water. But you have to filter it for fluff. Just pour it into a coffee filter and it‘s done.
Aww I'm just catching up with all the baby vlogs. You guys are too hard on yourself. You are, after all keeping a baby alive so far. You done great 👏🏼
He's so cute now and big (I've watched some of the recent vlogs). Looking forward to watching more xxx
Look at you both -- pros already! Such a lovely family ❤ thank you for continuing to share it. My baby will be 5 months tomorrow, so it's lovely to "look back" and relive everything via Wolfie xD It's a wonderful journey, but it's also the hardest work ever! Good job, mama and dada!
First time parenting can be scary with all the unknowns and learning curves but you're doing great and you'll pick up what works and what doesn't along the way :) Sleep training is tough but it definitely does get better and you guys are already getting to the other side of the hardest period. Around 6 months he should have a more reliable sleep schedule so hang in there just a bit longer! My husband and I love your channel in general but especially love the Wolfy updates and we're excited to see where the adventure of parenting takes you both. Best wishes from London xx
Predicting a newborn schedule is so hard! And once you think you have it nailed, they change it up on you 😅 I have a 2 1/2 year old, so this is all still fresh in my memory. Now she sleeps all night for 11-12 hours, but that first 18 months was filled with unpredictable patches of good and terrible sleeping. I cannot recommend getting him on a firm schedule with a good night routine right around the 3 month mark. The change in a baby's sleep around 3-4 months can seriously rock you. Just be kind to yourselves. You're doing great 😻
Yall have a beautiful family! God Bless you guys! And all you can do is try your best, yall are great parents and I love that you both are home with the baby all day. I am a stay at home mom of 2 under 2 and it can be tough on one person. I love seeing yall help each other out! That is what family is about, having each others backs! And Wolfy is going to be so smart and curious about the world! A lovely trait to get from a lovely pair like you both!
1:45 that is the cutest schedule EVER
You both are doing a great job of being new parents. What a beautiful family!
You are so kind
my dad held me the exact same way when I was a baby. My dad's arms are HUGE and long so I got held in that position for a long part of my infancy. Until recently he still held babies that way and my family is rather large so we have lots of babies running around.
You can try to gradually adjust his sleeping and feeding time to what you can accommodate more easily. They can be trained. E.g. Feed extra in the night, say 9, 10pm, so that he won't wake up in the night because of hunger.
I think you both are simply amazing as parents!!!
For the water you can boil any water and cool it down and it should be fine
Just a suggestion, try to wrap the new born baby. The baby will feel secure & sleep well, & you guys can sleep longer too . I’ve done it to my 2 kids before, it works pretty well. Hope it helps 🥰
100% recommend baby white noise sound machine it might help him sleep longer
You don't have to waste money on distilled water. All you need to do is boil the water that you typically drink, use a fresh cloth to filter as you pour it. I just kept a pitcher boiled fresh every morning so its fresh. Good luck. Also don't follow any books, just listen to your baby. He will tell you his needs it just takes time to get adjusted to understanding his cries and what they mean. That's really the hardest thing of having a newborn is learning their language because all babies have different ways of communicating they are much smarter than you may realize they listen, track you watching everything so you will know their sensitivities to certain things. Best blessings and warmest wishes go Taiga Wolverine you have a very masculine name indeed!
You two will be wonderful parents!!!
you guys are doing fab we are ALL fingers and thumbs with our 1st child. Those little spot are milk spot whatever you do ,do not squeeze them look forward to your next video x
Maiko, Paolo (We LOVE your Family) and we can’t help but mention that we had the same exact issue with our daughter. She had pimples like Wolfy. I was breastfeeding and supplementing with formula then. My doctor suggested that we switch her to hypoallergenic milk (vegetable based-Nutramigen) as the cow’s protein was a bit much for her to digest. In less than two weeks after the slow transition, her skin cleared out and she became less fussy. We were also advised to wash with just Ivory on all our clothes and linens and used cetaphil as her baby wash. The best decision ever. We hope this helps you too. Love watching all your vlogs!! Can’t wait ti visit Japan again!!
Get the Wonder Weeks book, especially know that he’s 4 months old. The book was almost on point with my sons development milestones and moods.
Pretty sure distilled water is 蒸留水！you can find it in drugstores. when my dad came to stay he needed distilled water for his c-pap machine and we were able to find it in our local drugstore no problem. :)
nice smile.. his angel is watching over him.
You guys are doing great.
I know you are nervous as any parents would be.
You’re doing everything right.
Don’t doubt yourself’s keep up the work 🥰
Nanit.com has a baby sleep schedule that worked pretty good for my 2 kids. You can put in the time when they typically wake for the day and it will give you a nap and feeding scedule for their age
You are holding him fine. You did well!
Paolo thank you for being considerate in putting the link for TokyoZebra. I was wondering why I do not receive notifications for Tokyo Zebra. I discovered that the notif with the regular bell was not on. Silly me.
U guys are great parents and he’s so sweet! I have had two babies and had found that the feed wake sleep cycle helped me to direct times for them to sleep- the book baby wise gives some good guidelines and tips based on the baby’s age how to help them sleep and eat around times based on their circadian rhythm. Adjust things as needed to Baby and ur parenting . Hope it helps if u give it a go.
Love both your channels thanks for sharing ur sweet family. U really are doing great 👍🥰 👶
He’s so little, he has developed enough to have a good sleep cycle. I know it can be hard but it will be easier the older he gets.
Pumping will not show you how much baby is getting. Baby is much more effective at getting milk out xx
You guys are doing great!! Enjoy this time it really is so short XX
Look how cute Wolfie is💕💕 He is getting so big.
He is just so precious.
Guys, you are doing great! I am no mother, so I have no experience, but Wolfy is healthy and you are keeping up and you care... I think that equals that you are amazin parents!
Fantastic team work! Your communication and loving support towards each will only continue to strengthen your bond and success as parents. ❤❤❤ Breastfeeding tip: increase the amount of water you are drinking (keeping water by the bed at night helps). Also exclusive breastfeeding along with regular Nighttime feedings at the beginning can increase your supply (about 20% of baby's total intake happens at night). This can help baby develop their Circadian rhythms faster. I did this with my first two and they both were sleeping 5-6 hours continuously at night by 8 weeks old.
Again you both are doing fantastic 🥰 truly inspiring ❤❤ Keep at it! Things truly get easier with time and practice.
He’s your first and you will make mistakes. Bu he will be all right and so will you two. Don’t worry about making mistakes, just love him and enjoy him. They grow so fast.
Maiko and Paolo....you two are GREAT parents! You're filled with love and patience. I love watching your videos :) I'm a mom of 4, I think you're doing just fine xoxo Kisses to Wolfy! Love from Las Vegas.
Thank you so much!!
My baby is turning one next week. The time goes by so fast, I miss when my little was THIS little🥺 congratulations!!
We just got our son on 1st October. So we are now working on schedule our new born as well. Lol I was struggling with pumping as well, and it's hard. My nurse adviced to pump 8 times a day and at first you feed him with your milk and formular. It took me 8 days before I am now able to pump and feed him directly enough. So you need to work pretty hard to get there. Gambatte!
