Soph is absolutely glowing rn!!! She is so amazing and an amazing mom to MM!!!! I just became a new dad at 19 and I love my new little girl soooo much and wouldn’t trade it for the world!! God is great
I agree 1000%
Yes God is Great everyday!
We got pregnant with our second when our first was 6 months old. They're both little girls and their relationship is the absolute BESTrhintbin the world to watch.
LC and mom of two here! Wake her after 3 hours during the day to increase her calories during the day so she may give you some longer stretches at night! Also nipple shield can inhibit some milk transfer which might be why you have mastitis. With all this being said. You are doing amazing and as a mom myself, do what works for you and don’t stress!!
I can’t really express my feelings so I’m going to try my best --- I have lost partum depression. I had my first baby 3/14/23 (his due date was 7/1/23) he wasn’t planned. I was married not even a month. When I got married I was 19, & I moved SO fast with this man after a relationship where I was truly in love. At 10 weeks we found out he had gastroschisis (his intestines were outside of his body) the doctors said I could potentially deliver early. Fast forward I ended up being very high risk & had to deliver at a hospital an hour away. We were home, I was in labor in the car for 45 minutes going through traffic. I gave birth 2 min after I got into the delivery room. Everything happened i fast, i wasn’t able to see my son or even hold him until he was 2 months old. He was born at 28 weeks weighing 2lb 14oz. But this is my story.
Im so happy for you and Taylor. You guys are such amazing parents & inspire me SO much. We love you Jesus! Thank you for miracles like my now, healthy 9month old baby boy ❤️
You're not alone with the HARDNESS of breastfeeding, babe. It's THE HARDEST part of newborn/ babying! None of my 4 kids ever took my milk (or any milk) from a bottle by the way! It's exhausting, but you'll live! Keep going Mumma, you're doing so great! Xoxo
We started out with a nipple shield and we were able to wean from that after a couple months! My son barely ever took a bottle and never took one past 2 months. We made it 15 months exclusively nursing until I weaned him because I was 16 weeks pregnant!! Keep up the hard work, mama. It’s not easy but you can do it ❤
You are always so positive and try to downplay the negative stuff, which is so admirable for an first time mommy who is still so young ❤😅
Continued prayers for Soph, Taylor, and baby
The Christmas pj’s are a 10 out of 10
I used a shield for 9 months and made it 9 more after that - BF is definitely the hardest part! And not having expectations is the key to parenthood - you don’t set yourself up for disappointment 👌🏻
thank you for this video! I am so appreciative for your honesty and positive outlook!!
I can see in your eyes how happy and glowing you are. Bless your family my loves.
I am so happy that Mary-Merin is doing well! Love y'alls family and wishing you the best of luck in the future! Love from Texas ❤
Soph you look amazing and glowing. She’s is absolutely beautiful baby girl. Congratulations love you guys. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas
God bless you both and your baby daughter❤ cherish each day, and each month, time goes really fast! You both are super loving parents💛
Continued prayers on yall parenting journey ❤🙏
My Doctor kept me on pre-natal vitamins for 2 years after my son was born. Having a baby is hard on even your hair for sure. Talk to your Dr about it, if you notice extra loss in the shower or when brushing. 😊❤
so glad to hear from your experiences!! can’t believe she’s already one month old!!!
It’s so amazing to see Malakai talking and being so grown up! Been here since before you got pregnant with Fox, you have evolved so beautifully! ❤
I’m so glad you are so open with what you’re going through! ❤ we love you 🥰
Enjoy this daughter time flys ❤❤ you all are best
Y’all are wonderful young parents Sophie and Taylor my late wife had severe postpartum depression after she had my daughter some days were tough battle but we got through it
Yess finally needed this video ❤😅
Such a beautiful momma ❤️
You are so amazing. It makes me feel more comfortable, and making my feelings feel validated. Thank you so much! 💓💓
I went through a similar experience nursing my baby.
My doctor said keep putting her to the boob when she’s hungry, that she can be exclusively breast fed again.
With the bottle the milk comes out quicker than nipple.
We had a long wonderful breastfeeding journey after that.
You do what is best for you and your family 💖
Get a scale and weight her before and after feeds!! This is how I was able to breast feed my second baby longer than my first. It was a life saver. Your body will provide!!! You are doing amazing Mama!!
Hi Soph! Firstly you’re doing great! You’re such a lovely person and mamma! Just a tip I had to start supplementing around 6 months and the only bottle my previously exclusively breastfed baby would take is como tomo brand it’s very close to the breast and I swear she didn’t know the difference I hope you’re breastfeeding/ bottle feeding journey goes well ❤
I was worried at first that you had the baby blues, thats what I call it. Those are normal with your hormones on hyperdrive! So glad you're doing well. I had mastitis too, not a fun thing 😕 My youngest was born at 36 weeks so it was hard for him being in the NICU and me stuck in bed from pre-eclampsia. We had to supplement with formula which I was not happy about but, pumping really helped. I was kinda sad about it because my first latched so well and I nursed exclusively until I returned to work. Pumping provided him with all he needed after that. I think the mastitis came on because of the huge supply I had with him, very different for my second. Warm compresses work for the discomfort and believe it or not keeping a nursing bra on even while sleeping. And, as for tearing, those silly sitz baths really help soothe, along with a donut pillow. The cold pads are great, wish I had those! You look wonderful Soph, keep up the great mommying, you and Taylor are blessed. Mary Mahryn is beautiful and thriving! Don't rush for baby 2 just yet 😉 ❤ and 🙏 's
Hi! Love y’all so much thank you for being so real with us! ✝️🩷🎄
Hi 36 weeks here being induced in a few days due to gestational hypertension! Im 24 this is my first & having a boy! My fiance and i have been together since sophomore year hs! Were are ecstatic just a little nervous because i had a normal pregnancy until the 34 week high blood pressure diagnosis 😅 thank you for your videos 🫶
My boys are teenagers now, but I had to use the nipple shield on my first. To transition him off, I nursed him with it on for about 4 minutes, then I unlatched him, quickly took the shield off, and was able to get him to latch back on without the shield. I think doing it when he was not as frustrated and hungry helped, and after he got my milk supply flowing. He eventually got used to just my skin again, and I no longer needed the shield. Every baby responds differently, so not sure if this will help MM, but is may be worth a try if you want to try to transition from using the shield.
Some moms use the shield the entire time of nursing and it works well, so definitely no pressure to transition from using it, if that is what you feel is working best for you.
You are doing an amazing job as a Momma! 💕
Wish I had known or thought of freezing a pad. Witch hazel was my 1st go to. It felt the best to me
Love you both!!
So excited for you both!!
Merry Christmas!🙏🏻🙏🏻🎄🎄♥️♥️♥️
I really feel like it’s because you’re so young that postpartum issues won’t really be a problem for you! So have them while you’re young!!
Wow soph your a trooper
love your channel!brings me so much joy! god loves you!❤️🫶🏼✝️
Still so happy for you guys! She so gorgeous ❤
You are an amazing Mom
Also for the mastitis try to nurse her while she is laying down on her back and you like go on your hands and knees above her and she might be able to help guess it out
If you find that when you are breastfeeding that the baby is still hungry after a feed. That may mean you need to be eating more protein in your diet to give to her. I went through that when i was breastfeeding my baby. I wasnt eating as much as i shouldve. But once you up your veggies, meats and starches. The baby gets more full after a feed from you. Along with continuing the postnatal/prenatal vitamins. 🥰❤️❤️
Feel free to reach out to me. I had trouble breastfeeding as well straight out of the gate and had to use shields. I had to change to pumping for a month and once my baby boy was about 3 months he started breastfeeding again and all I did was try to latch him a couple times a day without the cover on and then do a bottle once a week to make sure he takes bottles. So don’t give up even if you ever need donor milk the bond you make is so special. I am also not an overproduced I use a cup on the other side while feeding and get about 2-3 ounces and save that and have been able to build a freezer stash. You got this girl!
A thing that adds to ppd that a lot of women don’t know about is, folic acid is probably one of the highest suggested prenatal med right? Well, it adds to the hormones changes, and basically boost your mood really high. When you go off of the prenatal vitamins/ meds, it brings your emotions and hormones back down and that can cause the ppd to be even worse.
I honestly think that doing your own research, what’s in medications of all sorts, and then deciding what’s best for you
You are a great mom, you look so beautiful
Happy one month birthday Mary Mahryn❤
I used the nipple shield for the first few months every time I nursed and around month 4 slowly started to not use it and now never have to!
I had a very successful breastfeeding relationship with my daughter, down to one feed at 18 months, and my main advise is pump as little as you can and nurse as much as you can. I had to pump for over a month during an extreme nursing strike and I must say it’s way harder than nursing. If you’re home with your baby, try to primarily nurse.
I had baby blues which was so depressing and sad but from my understanding its the difference between the time that it and PPD last that determine which is witch ofc with some other signs and things.
I’m glad your feeling okay and everything is going well, god bless y’all 🙏
TMI but they cut me with my first baby and the recovery was horrendous. I had my husband tell them not to cut me with my second and third. I had no issues and healed much faster. I feel like they over estimate when they cut you and mess you up worse than a tear.
Hey mama! I had the same issue with my baby and had to wear the nipple shield up to 5/6 months and then she started latching naturally! My baby would not take any bottles besides the Lanisoh bottles. The nipple is very similar to the nipple shield! Hope this helps and you’re doing great! 🫶🏻
Keep introducing the breast, also drink plenty of water, staying hydrated is so important. Keep up with the lactation specialist if you have to. Babies will take both. Hot compresses on the breasts. I had that but I'm 63 yrs old now, mine came because did not get a breast pump ahead of time, gotta keep that milk flowing and get every last drop. Bless your heart, take it one second at a time, such a blessing growing your baby and having her and caring for her now, enjoy the process! 😊❤
Dont rush having your babies too close together. I already saw a comment talking about how medically, you're supposed to wait 18 months to get pregnant because of the full healing process. I don't agree with that. I am currently pregnant with number 4 (my first 3 are 3, 2, and 1). I was 6 months postpartum, 5 months postpartum, and then 6 months postpartum and for us, that was right. I felt good and I was mentally and emotionally ready for another baby. If y'all decide to have another baby before she's 1 or before she's 2, don't let anyone discourage you from it. Do what feels right for you and your family. When you're both ready, you'll know and God's timing will be perfect above all else. ❤
Happy to you’re doing well!! ❤❤❤
U and Taylor I'm sure are really great parents to your darling little baby girl . She's Gorgeous 😍 ❤❤❤ 1:50
Yay!! ❤
Go Soph 🥳 happy to see you well 🤍
I’m 15 weeks pregnant with my first baby !!! I love watching y’all’s videos when you have time can you make videos explaining breast milk and newborn stuff ? I wanna try to breast feed and i see some people put there milk in the freezer do you have to freeze it ? Or can you put it in the fridge ..
What’s the diy pads steps with alo and witch hazel?
They did this to me with my 1st breastfed baby. Took 3 months of ALOT of hardwork,one day i nursed while pumping the other side(it makes your milk come out fatser so he didnt have to work so hard for it. After a couple days he never had a bottle again an nursed until 2+
My baby girl never latched straight away and only ate from the bottle whil in the hospital. Tried a nipple shield and for the first 2 months that was the only way i could breastfeed. She now occasionally latches without it but often prefers to have it.
My hair only started falling out around 4 months postpartum. My baby girl is now 5 months old.
My mom would tell me I sleep when the baby sleeps. Now i have a toddler. Where did the year go?!😢
First!!!
I remember feeling my stomach right after birth it was soooo soft and shocked me 😂😂
Our girls are exactly the same age!
Soph you are beautiful. Amazing mom
Hey sweet girl!! ☺️
Who else agrees that Soph looks amazing as always? God is good all the time God is good!!!😊
This is so sweet. Thank you!🥹❤️
My 3 month old has a feed at 7pm wakes at 5am since he was 9 weeks old.
It’s not so much the confusion it’s more easier from the bottle because it’s more work to eat from the breast. But you’re doing a great job! ❤
Ok, I used nipple shield for a couple months because there was some damage to heal from first latches that weren’t deep enough… and then baby was bigger and stronger and latched well after. And for the bottle, I found they will take it if they’re hungry enough and they aren’t given the breast as a plan B. So if someone’s watching her, she most likely will give in and take the bottle when she has no other options! Just some experience of mine!
SOPH I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW YOU ARE AN AMAZING MOM🫶🫶💖💖💖💖
You got this! If you can freeze milk - go for it. I never produced enough to have extra with my 3 boys. I. At the end of the day you are feeding her anyway you can. ❤ honest
ADORE YOU MAMA ❤❤❤❤❤❤ SO INSPIRED BY YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ MAYBE GOING TO TRY IN 2024 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
13 months between my two older brothers but 11 years between me and the oldest.
You will be ok
Hairloss came for me around 6wks to 11wks different through my 3 pregnancy.
If you take your prenatals until you are healed, it helps with hair loss and regulates hormones! ❤️
When you feel like working out again start with some core and pelvic floor workouts. I also would advise you to not get pregnant again for atleast a year…Women do it, not intentionally all of the time. 2 under 2 is tough. Let your body heal. You are gonna wreck havoc on your body and mind if you go through it all again too soon. Give your sweet baby your undivided attention for as long as you can! ❤ just my opinion though do you but my sister has two under two and it’s not for the weak!
Do you have a job that you took maternity leave from? I'm thinking yes because school and new baby.
Hey y’all, how has Taylor adjusted to all of this change, his IG story’s are priceless 😂
cold cabbage leaf's on breasts helped with the gorging , inflammation and pain from when i got mastitis
What are your symptoms from your heart condition
It takes approx 18 months for your body to fully recover from pregnancy/childbirth. That includes your hormones. As someone who didnt wait, I would Highly recommend allowing yourself atleast 18 months before trying to get pregnant again. ♡
I didn’t wait and would strongly recommend having kids close together haha
my older two are 13 months apart. It’s soo much easier than everyone says it is.
To add I was 18 haha
@teeandkids937 it's not about the kids, its about her body and the toll it will take on her body for bot allowing it to heal. I had 4 kids. My first 3 were less than 2.5 years apart. 3 under 2.5 and my body took a long time to recover. And some parts of me never recovered properly. My 2 middle children are the same age for 1 whole month. My 3rd and 4th are nearly 4 years apart and I tell myself often I wish I'd spaced my older three out better. They are very close in age, and they are like best friends but they also fight so much. Two girls going through puberty at the same time has been awful. Though I'm sure it could be worse, I still think for my body's sake, they first 3 should have been spaced out. I nearly lost my 3rd bc the lining of uterus was dangerously thin. It's due to not waiting after having baby number 2. My hormones also were really bad. I was told that medically it takes 18 months for a woman's body to fully recover after pregnancy/childbirth. So I recommend it to every momma. Bc I would hope their experiences are better than mine. The mental aspect of having 3 that young so so close together was awful. I was constantly pulled in every direction. I can't even remember alot of their infancy bc I literally was in survival mode.
I fell like Soph carried in her face…and it’s already gone back almost to normal
Women don’t “carry” their pregnancy in their face.🤦♀️
@@dearleah7299 The weight from her pregnancy
I lost my baby weight when my son was 14 years old 😂
What is Taylor in school for?
❤❤❤
I had my ablation last year and it has helped me if u have any questions bout it u can ask me I also have heart problems as well I’m a 7 year heart survivor
My bf got pregnant while breastfeeding so be careful it’s not a full proof, birth control. I know you’re for it but let your body heal ❤ glad you’re feeling so good! You look amazing too xo 😘
Hi❤
I’m 4 months postpartum now and my hair is falling out 😢
You have a great hisband
My kids Pediatrician said the comment of "Growing in their sleep", is real. We can see they are growing because they sleep more and eat more.
To relieve a little more stress from not knowing how much she's getting I was told after I was done breastfeeding sadly but anyways I can pass the info on.
Get a baby scale, weigh her before she breastfeeds then again right after
Have you had her checked for tongue and or lip tie? That can also not allow her to eat all the way!
Keep doing the nipple shield if you need to Sophia!! When she's older she will go without the shield. My baby is 5 months and she still needs the nipple shield sometimes and it's great. She's getting the breastmilk!
But use the haakaa
We are going threw postpartum together
What an amazing gift God has given you and Taylor. May your family have a Merry Christmas. JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
Hey Sophia and Taylor ❤ one month already. Time flies.
Look into Chinese belly binding and do it for 30 days, and your stomach and everything will go back to normal
