You are a great mom! Please please stop drinking energy drinks! From a baby nurse here, it is affecting Ryder and making him agitated and could very well be the reason for his reflux. I know it’s boring but you really should stick to water. No soda, coffee, energy drinks, juice etc… You are doing great though Maddie 💗💙
Y’all I finally looked it up and the current recommendation for breastfeeding is up to 300 mgs which means she can drink three of them a day if she wanted
Yes I have seen on Instagram that some of those energy drinks actually have yellow sludge powder in it..(waste scraped from a human sewage treatment plants, 🤮. Just saying this is what I have heard said). Now the question remains..why would they do something like this...hmmm? People need to research what has been put into American food and drinks.
One day at a time. I’m with you girl. Being a mom isn’t easy but it’s worth it. Some days you’ll feel like crap and you want to cry (and that is okay) but most days you’ll feel good and blessed. It’s all normal girl. Praying for you and that you have the strength and peace you need everyday to be the best mom to your beautiful children. You’ve got this! You’re so beautiful and doing amazing! Keep your head up high 🩷🌸
Here is a response and question for Everly; Hi Ev! My name is Maddy, just like your Mum’s, and I am 28 and from a country called Australia. We have have lots of native animals in Australia that you can’t find anywhere else in the world in the wild. Some of these animals are cute and cuddly, like kangaroos, possums, sugar gliders, wombats and koalas (by the way, koalas are not bears, but people in America and other similar countries mistakenly call them bears, they are actually marsupials, that means they give birth to teeny tiny hairless babies that can’t really survive yet outside of their mum’s bellies, so after they are born they crawl up into a pouch on their mummy’s tummy and love their drinking her milk 24/7 for months until they are big enough to survive. Koalas are actually most closely related to wombats, but have no relation to bears) and some are scary to some people, like lots of different kids of snakes, some venomous and some not, crocodiles, both salt and fresh water ones, lizards like the bearded dragon, frill neck lizard, goannas and horned devils, hundreds of different types of birds, like the famous emu (the way we say emu is actually eem-you, not ee-moo like a lot of people in other countries think, so now you will be one of the smart ones saying it the right way 🥰), and some cute but strange ones like echidnas and platypus. My question is, what is your favourite native Australian animal, and why is it your favourite? I hope you like my question and the facts I gave you about our cool animals ❤
USA checking in ✌ I know this was for Everly, but I enjoyed you sharing these fun facts here❤ That was so thoughtful and kind of you!!! I didn't know the proper way to say Emu!😂 I love learning and you just taught a lot of people!!! I visited Australia for a few weeks, 23 days was not enough😢!!!! We flew into Sydney on Qantas on a huge 747 jet, 21 hours and an 11 hour time difference😅we came in December and stayed until mid January, during our 3 hour daylight savings time. I was so blown away by 3 things in your awesome Country...the scenery, WOWWWWW, my eyes couldn't get enough and I took soooo manyyyy pictures 😁 😍 Next. The people!!!!! Everyone, and I mean...everyone, was the kindest, friendliest warm, helpful and beautiful hearted people I ever met in my life❤❤❤ Mind blown!!!! The food!!!! Wowwwww!!!! Absolutely amazinggggg!!!! Again, mind blown!!! I will be coming back for sure, but I would like to stay much longer, I want to see more!!! I thought it was so neat to see "Kangaroo" Crossing signs on the roadways, awwww!!! Your Country was....MAGICAL to me!!! I'm smiling so big typing this as I go back to my memories from there! Thanks again for sharing, you made my day great❤
You are going to be fine. 71 yr old grandma here. Take it or leave it, but I would cut out the energy drinks because they are full of junk and sugar and caffeine. A baby swing was a godsend for my kids. One would sleep up to 5 hours in it. Best of luck momma. ❤
@@annmarieries8672 not to mention I had my baby strapped in at 2 months and the tiny worm wiggled out and when I heard him fuss I came out of the kitchen, we have an open floor but the sink faces the wall, so he was head down, hanging out the swing was low because it already made me nervous, safe to say we have it in our basement and haven’t touched it since that day!
Yes, any surface that isn’t flat, like a baby swing, baby should NEVER sleep in. They can stop breathing at any time, and it’s a silent killer. It doesn’t matter if you’re staring at them or not. I am in the trenches too with my second, he’s 4 weeks old, and I love using bouncers or swings, but once it’s clear he’s close to falling to sleep, out he comes. Sometimes this wakes him up more, but that is just how it has to be.
Are the energy drinks not good for the baby? Because I know they aren't even good for adults - they might make him have that anxious feeling? He is so adorable
They have the same caffeine as a cup of coffee . If you wait a few hrs to breast feed none of it should pass through. I’ve known people who consumed high amounts of caffeine during pregnancy and even then their babies were fine and large compared to the low birth weight they claim it causes. The baby could possibly just be the 30% of those with colic who cry more for no reason
Gas drops, and I didn’t have to fully cut out dairy when I breastfed, but I cut back A LOT! Please please please sleep when he sleeps during the day, I know it’s not always possible, but please do it when you can! Stay strong mama! 💜
I know you probably know this already...bath time for Ryder at the end of the evening may just help him sleep longer at night.That seemed to do the trick for my babies. Breast feeding is the best but it takes a lot of your effort. We had a big family and bottle with formula made a huge difference when looking after the other young children. There are only so many hours in the day to tend to all the family. Everly is old enough to understand mom can do only so much and she is also a big help. Hard to believe you are also taking classes and graduating, Good for you Maddie! My husband is 80 and I'm 77 and our children are our best friends and greatest joy along with our darling grandchildren ! Warmest regards to You ,Randy ,Everly and Ryder.
Watching this video at 3am still up with my crying 2 week old baby as a new mom, I found this so comforting. You are not alone girl and thanks to your video now I know that neither am I 😭😭😭❤
The newborn phase is the toughest (mom of 2 grown daughters). Casual observers will tell you how fast it goes and they can’t believe the baby is already 6 weeks. 3 months or 1 year. To you the mom it is an overwhelming number of moments - hoping for a schedule and predictability and feeling like yourself. I was sure it must be time for college many times during that first year! You’re doing wonderfully! The days will pass even though it feels like a phase you’ll be stuck in forever. We’re all in support of you! ❤️
Girl you look amazing for just having a baby and in general. Ik looking at oneself u notice every little thing I'm the same way, but from the outside looking in YOU LOOK AMAZING I don't think u need to work on anything physically!
My first baby spat up a ton. I figured out is was caffeine and dairy. I switched to goat milk and oat milk and it really helped. Trader Joe’s has a really good goat milk. As an alternative to caffeine, an apple and an electrolyte drink really helped pick up my energy. My favorite electrolyte mix is from Just Ingredients. It’s a clean mix and tastes really good.
Maddie, you look so freaking amazing in those outfits! Stop being so hard on yourself. I had my first at 17 yrs old and my second at 19 yrs old…..they are now 27 and 25 and I’m a grandma to 2 little girls from my first born. I wish I had someone like you when I was first pregnant cause it would have made a world of difference for me. Remember, you are amazing, you are women and your truly incredible 😘xoxo
He sleeps better upright because when you lay him down especially after eating the acid in his stomach in coming up in his esophagus. Causing him so much pain and the projectile vomiting. The caffeine is sooooo bad on multiple levels when your baby is drinking your breast milk.If you need coffee feed him first, have one cup of caffeine to help your headache, and then you will be at least 3 to 4 hours post caffeine before his next feed.Avoid spicy food.
His eyes are so gorgeous I hope they stay that color with the special with the dark border around just gorgeous who do you think his eyes look the most like Maddie or Randy
Newborn stage is the hardest ❤ but your doing your best! Pass on energy drinks, mama of 5 here :) I do coffee still and my babies werent affected by it! Rest and relax the time flys by and the dishes and cleaning can wait! He’s only a newborn for a short time😢 One day at a time, praying for you as you transition and pace your self sweetie!
I know everyone on here has well meant suggestions and advice, however it's best to schedule a Pediatric check. Mention all of his symptoms and discuss your diet. That way you can rule out some concerns.
HEY MADDIE…. 😂 😂😂 not sure how I stumbled on your channel but I did….. ❤❤. I was a freshman in high school when I became a mother … That amazing little baby boy just turned 42 and has 3 children of his own!! You see Life will continue to throw challenges and curve balls at you as that’s called life….. You see it’s how you handle those challenges and curve balls that defines you!! Try to always remember that A heart filled with Joy, Love and Compassion doesn’t have time to be afraid or sad 😢 or angry 😤 Nothing happens by accident and there is no such thing as a coincidence… ❤So don’t worry about the little stuff and just Enjoy the ride!! Cause it gets better and better and better in every way!!!! ❤❤
Maddie you are such an amazing mom. My daughter is 5 months old now but I still feel like I cry or get emotional over the smallest of things. Deep in the trenches here with 3 kids , a 7 year old a 2 year old and a 5 month old. Us mamas gotta stick together. I love your channel and always look forward to watching your videos especially ones like these that are so relatable. Stay strong mama
Parenthood can be so hard. Lots of people these days act like it's only a blessing with no struggle, and that women should have large families (without considering any factors like age, physical and mental conditions, quality of support system, financial situation, stability of your relationship, professional demands , the mother's personality type for ex being introverted with little suppprt system meant I felt capable of having exactly ONE child.)
It will pass Maddie just try go with the flow and enjoy it as much as you can. I remember newborn as a fog 😅 never having a hot tea or eating a whole meal. Everything you eat and drink helps also gets.Try some herbal tea like peppermint and camomile. if it’s colic then get some advice. Love you lots ❤
My daughter had acid reflux sooooo bad her Dr put her on zantac for a while. It was sooo hard, she was in so much pain~ Okay i hate to suggest this, but when you nurse him let him have a little then burp him, then let him have a little more and burp again he's gonna be pissed, but it might help
i got pregnant really young after my 1st period from a lot of bad things that was happening to me since i was younger . i’m now 13 & have a 1 yr old daughter & is also 6 wks pregnant . i wasn’t able to breastfeed or anything w/ my daughter , my whole pregnancy was the worst from always being sick & had a very bad experience during labor / birth . i’m also going through this pregnancy without my new baby dad & is really scared & nervous again about giving birth .
Do you need anything? This is sickening the things u had to go through while being a baby yourself. I hope whoever did this to u is in jail or dead. So sad you became a mother before even becoming a teen and now doing it all over again when you’re barely a teen. Did CPS get involved giving you were a baby n still is? I feel really bad about this. I hope you and your daughter is ok and your pregnancy goes well❤ you’re amazing NEVER FORGET IT❤❤❤
One week cutting out caffeine will do wonders! Its a hard first few days, but by the end of the week you'll feel much better. And by week 2 a small cup of coffee mid day will be enough
Without reading all the comments to see if anyone else has mentioned it. Try elevating head of his crib/cot by folding some towels or similar and place under head of mattress. I certainly helps with reflux in babies. Ryder is gorgeous and you are doing so well but yeah the energy drinks would not be a great thing for baby via your milk. ❤❤
Both by girls were reflux babies but it affected them differently. First would just scream day in and day out. Second projectile vomited every feed and ended up losing weight because of it. Nexium literally saved both of them. My Insurance makes you try baby Pepcid first but it never worked for either of my girls. Once they fail that, they can try the Nexium :) I hope this helps! With my second, she vomited yellow after every single feed. Drs thought it was bile and she had to have all sorts of tests.. all turned out fine and all she needed was reflux meds. She was off them by the time she was around 6 months old.
Maddie you are an amazing mom and I am just a kid but I can see how much you love your children the way you care for Everleigh and Ryder warms my heart I’m so glad you found Randy and now have this handsome little boy and I can just see how much Everleigh loves him too your doing great
Please make sure you talk to your Dr. Post partum depression is very real. Even mild cases of it. Everything that you eat, Ryder is getting. I agree with you on the energy drinks they could be affecting him. I really don't think they would cause him to vomit, but they will act as a stimulant to him. After Ryder has eaten sit him up in a lounge chair instead of layinh him flat. That should help with his reflux or vomiting. Why not buy what you need to make your cold coffee's at home it is so much cheaper, and you would not have to go all the way to Starbucks to get one. We got our different coffee flavors for lattes at Sobeys.
You are so silly Everly 🩷🩷 I enjoy your questions so keep them coming. You are a wonderful big sister and keep helping mommy ok? You keep being amazing Everly 🩷 Kristina
Maddie you are a great mom! I've been watching you since Everly was a baby. My son did the same as your son did the same thing. I breast fed for a bit, when he got thrush I stopped. Because he kept throwing up my Dr put him on a special formula. Have you tried putting him in a swing? He may just be changing his sleeping habits too. Whatever it is, remember it will pass. Everly is so flipping cute!
My son had terrible reflux, I didn’t realise he was allergic to my milk 😢. Darling girl, it’s okay just to have a sleep during the day. If you’re tired, sleep. Don’t worry about the cleaning….. anyone can do that but only you can sleep to help with tiredness. You’re doing a brilliant job….. the first couple of months are really tough ❤
They said that about mine , too , without running an allergy test. The statistics for dairy allergy are so low it makes me wonder if it’s something else. Any time my son accidentally had milk like at daycare he was fine
@@Speedyskull15I would 100% get a different opinion and don't stop breastfeeding just yet , baby might be sensitive to something you're consuming I've never heard of a baby being allergic to breast milk itself 🤔
My 2nd child was allergic to so many foods. When I ate eggs her whole body broke out in a rash. I ended up switching to formula. It's good that I did. A few years later she had an allergy test for everything. She has outgrown m9st of the food allergies except crustaeas and she is 40 now. My word I missed nursing her so much. There was no way I could have figured out all of the foods she WAS sensitive to. APPLES, PEAS EGGS SHELLFISH and i don't remember the rest but a lot of other allergens as well. Aybe try adding a small amount of rice serial to see breast mik before bed. Both of my babies needed this at around 2 weeks of age. They slept much better because they were satisfied.
@@gabrielleburns1716 allergic to my breast milk. It was the lactose. I had to formula feed from 6 months because I had lost too much weight from trying to keep up. He would eat, vomit, poop…. But then be hungry so I fed him again. He didn’t sleep longer than 20 minute naps from birth but night he’d sleep up to 3 hours between a feed. He had bad wind, wanted cuddles. Switched to formula and it was obvious that lactose was the issue. A week after finding the right formula he started sleeping longer at night and having hour long naps during the day. 😂 when he was 3 weeks old, we were on a train and baby farted. The woman next to me told my husband off…. She thought he’d done it… it was stinky. I didn’t know that wasn’t normal. And it was over 25 years ago, I think doctors are much more aware now too.
Hang tough. Youre a great mom. Newborn struggles & postpartum depression are a big thing to deal with. Not to mention throwing in being a college student. Have you tried taking the baby to a chiropractor. Babies can get really out of whack going through the delivery process.
You may need to check what you are eating and drinking, chocolate, energy drinks will all go to your milk. I know chocolate chip cookies were horrible for my kids when I ate them while nursing. Coffee, tea… not good for baby. You are an amazing mom.
Aww Maddie ♥️ from one mommy 2 another don’t ever feel like you have to have it all together. It is hard being a mother and honestly sometimes you gotta fake it till you make it. Believe me I have had days where I would go to the bathroom cry it out then come back and feel relieved and so much better lol. The newborn stage is tough but you got this mama! Maybe baby ryder is colicky … that’s how my first son was and he wouldn’t sleep at all at night 😣 It was rough. It could also be what you are eating and then nursing him..certain foods can make baby throw up or be more sensitive on their tummy’s. It’s going to take awhile before you get on a rhythm and find your new routine with being a mother of 2 now 💛. anytime you have more and more babies it is always scary and terrifying to think how am I going to do this or make it through this but somehow us mommy’s always do! A mothers love is strong 💪. Just keep telling yourself one more day … one more day .. to get through it. Before you know it baby ryder will be 3-6 months then 6-9 .. then 1 and it flys by so incredibly fast you won’t even think about the rough nights and the exhaustion. You will be 2 busy enjoying the new stage of baby Ryder and all the things he is learning to do ♥️ maybe ask dad/husband if he can take baby Ryder for a little bit well you take a nice warm bath and rest for a little to regain your strength mentally and your energy. God bless you and your family Maddie 💛🙏
I would definitely cut any energy drinks and coffee out of your diet. I know it’s tough and you need the energy but I would try a healthy fruit smoothie and lots of water! Also there are green leafy foods that make baby fussy and gassy.
Maddie I always have a set of spare sheets. Also a suggestion get puppy pads. I use them as pee or puke pads. They are disposable and absorbing. But try eliminating caffeine and then maybe add back but check out if you are using dairy. But my daughter had bad acid reflux and needed medication
Newborn trenches ???? First time hearing that . Hope things gets better for you as Ryder is still a newborn. Congratulations again. You’re the best mom ever
Omg Maddie, the projectile baby vomit at 2:00am!!! I nursed my twins on this big foam ring thing, holding each under my arms like footballs. At right around 1.5 months...the lovely projectile vomiting at 2am ritual began. What a vivid memory. Sigh. My doctor put me on a bad baby tummy nursing diet. I don't remember all..I was restricted to like 6 things. The two I remember helping the most were tons of cranberry juice, and mashed potatoes with only salt & pepper, no butter. I remember these because they remained a staple for my breast milk even after stopping the other foods. Like you, I exclusively breastfed. (Oh and I have ADHD too and coffee was allowed!!!! Either black or with almond milk) 👬 Good luck ❤ - Holly & twins Eric & Lister
Hi there. My grandson had reflux really bad. The flap in the stomach wouldn’t open to the intestine which caused him to projectile vomit after feeds. They did this simple surgery and he’s been fine ever since.❤
I can’t believe you were a mother at 14 that is crazy we are always here for you and we always have time for you and just to let you know God told me that Everly loves you
There are people giving birth much younger. My sister was 12 n there is someone in the comments that was 11 n now is pregnant again & going to give birth at 13.
@@Den-hz2fi Please don’t try to normalise the fact giving birth at 11,12 & 13 is ok, because it ain’t. Whether it’s caused by systematic abuse or just plain ignorance & promiscuity. It’s just a diabolical notion. People are losing their moral compass while the world turns to shi#.
Hey girly! Mom of 2 boys i have a 2 year old and a 7 month old! I would check to see if he has a dairy protein allergy both of my boys had the same issues and sure enough it was dairy protein allergy! My heart goes out you because i still have my days where I’m in the baby trenches! Just know you are not alone and you’re an amazing momma!❤
Last year I got a kitten. My kitten would wake me up meowing at me every night at 1:30 AM because he wanted my attention and wouldn't let me go back to sleep. I know this is not even close to having a human baby.
Hi Ev I like your snails. I have great grandchildren your age. I subscribed a long time ago. I have been watching you grow up. I am glad your mom and dad made a baby brother for you. I have heard you reading on one of your videos. You’re an amazing reader. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your summer, then be ready for first grade in August. I like the video like you asked.
Remember he reacts to EVERTHING you eat. Onions, sugar, caffeine, but mostly and sugar-substitute. BTW, who cries for more reason. Tell DR. about eating habits too. ❤
You look soooo pretty. If you went out in public with Bub no one would assume you are in the throws of newborn time. You look stunning even when you feel like crap! ❤
I never ever comment but two things. 1-you’re going such a great job!! 2- I always thought you sounded like you’re severely intolerant to dairy (like literally sniffing every sentence but maybe you think it’s just your seasonal allergies ?) so with that in mind reflux and dairy intolerance tend to go hand in hand and whatever you consume goes directly into your baby via breast milk so he could very easily benefit from cutting dairy like my reflux baby did years ago 😊
I have a baby boy as well and when I stopped eating dairy and drinking coffee, he stopped being super fussy. Maybe try that --it was a GAME CHANGER. Good luck!
Don't like giving advice, and I am from Ukraine, where we have different way of rising babies, but nevertheless will dare to advice - try avoid energy drinks and coffee. Hope it will help. Remember my baby had bad stomach ache only because I ate cabbage. So guess mom's diet is interconnected with baby's state Love ❤
If you’re breast feeding, please don’t drink the energy drinks. I’m a mom of three and now a MiMi of 5 baby boys. Trust me when I tell you that it will affect the baby if you drink too much caffeine. My youngest son projectile vomited as a newborn because of what I was drinking and eating. It DOES affect them and also please take care of yourself also. I feel like you may have a bit of post pregnancy depression. You’re a great mom Maddie. ❤
Talk to your pediatrician and see if he needs some Zantac. It does sound like reflux. Also make sure you are doing okay and not having any postpartum depression. It is very normal if you are though. Ask for help and yes you can still breastfeed on medication. Your house will keep get rest. You are doing a great job and look fantastic. Do talk to your OB about postpartum depression I think talking someone would really help. Not the internet or family and friends but a professional therapist that deals with postpartum depression. I have been an OB nurse for many years and have 4 kids along with postpartum depression. I didn’t go on medication with my third and with my fourth I did and what a difference it made, totally regretted not doing this before. It was short term and I still nursed without any issues.
I love watching your sweet family video's and I would like to tell you when my son was a baby he had colic and also when loud sound he done slept good. My heart goes out to all the mother's my son and daughter in-law have a baby is almost 5 in July 26 and a baby is 2 months old, You all have a great day and God bless your sweet family.
I cut my hair to my shoulders after my son was born coz I was sick of having poke in it and I regret it so much, normally it grows very quickly, when I was 16 I had cancer for the second time and lost all my hair, it started grow8ng back in Jan the year I turned 17, so 2013, and I let it grow, cut about 3in off for trimming and a 5 years space of time and then in nov 2018 I cut it to my shoulders and donated 18inched of hair to hair we share, so it always used to grow FAST, but now after my son was born it is less than half the thickness it always was before (so thank go it was suuuupppppeeerrrr thick before) and grows about half the rate it used to, so it’s only at the bottom of my bra now after over 2 years of growth, closer to 2.5 (have had a couple of trims, maybe 4in off in that time)
So I just want to say, I love you're family so much. I also just recently had my baby in april. But I was just wondering if you guys were planning on having more kids or if you were 2 and done.
Hearing everly call him dad just makes my heart feel happy
it made me wonder how her bio dad feels about that.... if he's cool with it , great. It shows a level of trust and comfort that she has with Randy.
You are a great mom! Please please stop drinking energy drinks! From a baby nurse here, it is affecting Ryder and making him agitated and could very well be the reason for his reflux. I know it’s boring but you really should stick to water. No soda, coffee, energy drinks, juice etc… You are doing great though Maddie 💗💙
Y’all I finally looked it up and the current recommendation for breastfeeding is up to 300 mgs which means she can drink three of them a day if she wanted
Yes and it’s still important to take your prenatal vitamins months after giving birth

Here is a response and question for Everly;
Hi Ev! My name is Maddy, just like your Mum’s, and I am 28 and from a country called Australia. We have have lots of native animals in Australia that you can’t find anywhere else in the world in the wild. Some of these animals are cute and cuddly, like kangaroos, possums, sugar gliders, wombats and koalas (by the way, koalas are not bears, but people in America and other similar countries mistakenly call them bears, they are actually marsupials, that means they give birth to teeny tiny hairless babies that can’t really survive yet outside of their mum’s bellies, so after they are born they crawl up into a pouch on their mummy’s tummy and love their drinking her milk 24/7 for months until they are big enough to survive. Koalas are actually most closely related to wombats, but have no relation to bears) and some are scary to some people, like lots of different kids of snakes, some venomous and some not, crocodiles, both salt and fresh water ones, lizards like the bearded dragon, frill neck lizard, goannas and horned devils, hundreds of different types of birds, like the famous emu (the way we say emu is actually eem-you, not ee-moo like a lot of people in other countries think, so now you will be one of the smart ones saying it the right way 🥰), and some cute but strange ones like echidnas and platypus. My question is, what is your favourite native Australian animal, and why is it your favourite?
I hope you like my question and the facts I gave you about our cool animals ❤

@@maddyspinks you have lot of knowldege about animals
You are going to be fine. 71 yr old grandma here. Take it or leave it, but I would cut out the energy drinks because they are full of junk and sugar and caffeine. A baby swing was a godsend for my kids. One would sleep up to 5 hours in it. Best of luck momma. ❤
Absolutely energy drinks will ruin your heart, wreck your nervous system and abolish your gut health !
No sleeping in a swing. Look up positional asphyxiation.
@@annmarieries8672 not to mention I had my baby strapped in at 2 months and the tiny worm wiggled out and when I heard him fuss I came out of the kitchen, we have an open floor but the sink faces the wall, so he was head down, hanging out the swing was low because it already made me nervous, safe to say we have it in our basement and haven’t touched it since that day!
I always say use your best judgment if the benefits outweigh the risks . I used a swing for my colic baby and didn’t dare move her from it
Yes, any surface that isn’t flat, like a baby swing, baby should NEVER sleep in. They can stop breathing at any time, and it’s a silent killer. It doesn’t matter if you’re staring at them or not.
I am in the trenches too with my second, he’s 4 weeks old, and I love using bouncers or swings, but once it’s clear he’s close to falling to sleep, out he comes. Sometimes this wakes him up more, but that is just how it has to be.
I am extemely impressed with maddy's mothering and ability to choose a great man. we can't all be like that so young. darling baby!
So true! She's an impressive young lady.
Its the energy drinks. Everything you ingest, so does he. Please stop the energy drinks until you stop great feeding.
Agreed, especially if it has citric acid
that blue short set is sooo cute on you honestly
I think so to 😊
Are the energy drinks not good for the baby? Because I know they aren't even good for adults - they might make him have that anxious feeling? He is so adorable
They are deadly !
They have the same caffeine as a cup of coffee . If you wait a few hrs to breast feed none of it should pass through. I’ve known people who consumed high amounts of caffeine during pregnancy and even then their babies were fine and large compared to the low birth weight they claim it causes. The baby could possibly just be the 30% of those with colic who cry more for no reason
Gas drops, and I didn’t have to fully cut out dairy when I breastfed, but I cut back A LOT! Please please please sleep when he sleeps during the day, I know it’s not always possible, but please do it when you can! Stay strong mama! 💜
Praying for you, Randy and Everly, and Ryder. You’re a precious family! ☺️❤🙏🏼 ✝️
I know you probably know this already...bath time for Ryder at the end of the evening may just help him sleep longer at night.That seemed to do the trick for my babies. Breast feeding is the best but it takes a lot of your effort. We had a big family and bottle with formula made a huge difference when looking after the other young children. There are only so many hours in the day to tend to all the family. Everly is old enough to understand mom can do only so much and she is also a big help. Hard to believe you are also taking classes and graduating, Good for you Maddie! My husband is 80 and I'm 77 and our children are our best friends and greatest joy along with our darling grandchildren ! Warmest regards to You ,Randy ,Everly and Ryder.
Watching this video at 3am still up with my crying 2 week old baby as a new mom, I found this so comforting.
You are not alone girl and thanks to your video now I know that neither am I 😭😭😭❤
you're doing great mama ❤
The newborn phase is the toughest (mom of 2 grown daughters). Casual observers will tell you how fast it goes and they can’t believe the baby is already 6 weeks. 3 months or 1 year. To you the mom it is an overwhelming number of moments - hoping for a schedule and predictability and feeling like yourself. I was sure it must be time for college many times during that first year! You’re doing wonderfully! The days will pass even though it feels like a phase you’ll be stuck in forever. We’re all in support of you! ❤️
You put that perfectly.
Hang in there !! Really these are the best days!! You guys are still adjusting to each other and as a family of 4!!!
Girl you look amazing for just having a baby and in general. Ik looking at oneself u notice every little thing I'm the same way, but from the outside looking in YOU LOOK AMAZING I don't think u need to work on anything physically!
My first baby spat up a ton. I figured out is was caffeine and dairy. I switched to goat milk and oat milk and it really helped. Trader Joe’s has a really good goat milk. As an alternative to caffeine, an apple and an electrolyte drink really helped pick up my energy. My favorite electrolyte mix is from Just Ingredients. It’s a clean mix and tastes really good.
Ryder is sooooooooooooooooo adorable! And you are doing AMAZING, Maddy! Keep on trucking!!! You can do this
Maddie, you look so freaking amazing in those outfits! Stop being so hard on yourself. I had my first at 17 yrs old and my second at 19 yrs old…..they are now 27 and 25 and I’m a grandma to 2 little girls from my first born. I wish I had someone like you when I was first pregnant cause it would have made a world of difference for me. Remember, you are amazing, you are women and your truly incredible 😘xoxo
I'm sorry you don't feel good! Your baby is adorable
He sleeps better upright because when you lay him down especially after eating the acid in his stomach in coming up in his esophagus. Causing him so much pain and the projectile vomiting. The caffeine is sooooo bad on multiple levels when your baby is drinking your breast milk.If you need coffee feed him first, have one cup of caffeine to help your headache, and then you will be at least 3 to 4 hours post caffeine before his next feed.Avoid spicy food.
18:28 I LOVE when kids loose their 2 front teeth. Soooooo darn cute
Me too. She's sooooo cute!!
You have such wonderful children Maddie! You’re a great mom, I know it’s not easy but you’re doing a good job! Wish you the best! ❤😊
Hang in there! You're a wonderful mother! He's just adorable 💗💗
Ryder is so precious love his chubby cheeks❤
Everly is absolutely adorable
You are such a precious little family. Maddie, you are doing great and I know it's not easy so remember to be easy on yourself.
Your hair would look so cute short!
Your diet is super important during breastfeeding. I think it's upsetting his tummy.
His eyes are so gorgeous I hope they stay that color with the special with the dark border around just gorgeous who do you think his eyes look the most like Maddie or Randy
7:03 oh my gosh his whittle nose is the cutest baby nose I’ve ever seeeeeeeen 😝😝😝🥹
The baby is soo cute! You are going to be a great mother, (AGAIN)!
I love Ryder eyes he looks so
Cute in yellow
Newborn stage is the hardest ❤ but your doing your best! Pass on energy drinks, mama of 5 here :) I do coffee still and my babies werent affected by it! Rest and relax the time flys by and the dishes and cleaning can wait! He’s only a newborn for a short time😢
One day at a time, praying for you as you transition and pace your self sweetie!
What a beautiful baby. Best to your baby journey. I am sure he is all worth it. ❤
Little Ev the future youtuber
Energy drink is not good for your health. It's good to take a break from it's. Coffee is good. Your baby is cute. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I know everyone on here has well meant suggestions and advice, however it's best to schedule a Pediatric check. Mention all of his symptoms and discuss your diet. That way you can rule out some concerns.
HEY MADDIE…. 😂 😂😂 not sure how I stumbled on your channel but I did….. ❤❤.
I was a freshman in high school when I became a mother … That amazing little baby boy just turned 42 and has 3 children of his own!! You see Life will continue to throw challenges and curve balls at you as that’s called life….. You see it’s how you handle those challenges and curve balls that defines you!!
Try to always remember that A heart filled with Joy, Love and Compassion doesn’t have time to be afraid or sad 😢 or angry 😤
Nothing happens by accident and there is no such thing as a coincidence… ❤So don’t worry about the little stuff and just Enjoy the ride!! Cause it gets better and better and better in every way!!!! ❤❤
Maddie you are such an amazing mom. My daughter is 5 months old now but I still feel like I cry or get emotional over the smallest of things. Deep in the trenches here with 3 kids , a 7 year old a 2 year old and a 5 month old. Us mamas gotta stick together. I love your channel and always look forward to watching your videos especially ones like these that are so relatable. Stay strong mama
Parenthood can be so hard. Lots of people these days act like it's only a blessing with no struggle, and that women should have large families (without considering any factors like age, physical and mental conditions, quality of support system, financial situation, stability of your relationship, professional demands , the mother's personality type for ex being introverted with little suppprt system meant I felt capable of having exactly ONE child.)
I have a pet snail too Everly. Her name is Cepaea and she has lived with me for 3 years. Her favorite food is sweet potatoes.
It will pass Maddie just try go with the flow and enjoy it as much as you can. I remember newborn as a fog 😅 never having a hot tea or eating a whole meal. Everything you eat and drink helps also gets.Try some herbal tea like peppermint and camomile. if it’s colic then get some advice. Love you lots ❤
My daughter had acid reflux sooooo bad her Dr put her on zantac for a while. It was sooo hard, she was in so much pain~ Okay i hate to suggest this, but when you nurse him let him have a little then burp him, then let him have a little more and burp again he's gonna be pissed, but it might help
i got pregnant really young after my 1st period from a lot of bad things that was happening to me since i was younger . i’m now 13 & have a 1 yr old daughter & is also 6 wks pregnant . i wasn’t able to breastfeed or anything w/ my daughter , my whole pregnancy was the worst from always being sick & had a very bad experience during labor / birth . i’m also going through this pregnancy without my new baby dad & is really scared & nervous again about giving birth .
Do you need anything? This is sickening the things u had to go through while being a baby yourself. I hope whoever did this to u is in jail or dead. So sad you became a mother before even becoming a teen and now doing it all over again when you’re barely a teen. Did CPS get involved giving you were a baby n still is? I feel really bad about this. I hope you and your daughter is ok and your pregnancy goes well❤ you’re amazing NEVER FORGET IT❤❤❤
I hope they take away your kids. CPS will get involved for sure. This is insane
Don’t listen to the comment above^^. You got this mama! I’m rooting for you!
@user-sr7my8sq7e that person comments negative on each of these videos like it's her job. Ignore her.
@@Mrzposas14 wow you support that she was 10 year got pregnant and now 13 having another one. Wow you people are so sick.
One week cutting out caffeine will do wonders! Its a hard first few days, but by the end of the week you'll feel much better. And by week 2 a small cup of coffee mid day will be enough
LOL no. not for people with ADD especially if the spectrum is inattention and focusing.
Without reading all the comments to see if anyone else has mentioned it. Try elevating head of his crib/cot by folding some towels or similar and place under head of mattress. I certainly helps with reflux in babies. Ryder is gorgeous and you are doing so well but yeah the energy drinks would not be a great thing for baby via your milk. ❤❤
Both by girls were reflux babies but it affected them differently. First would just scream day in and day out. Second projectile vomited every feed and ended up losing weight because of it. Nexium literally saved both of them. My Insurance makes you try baby Pepcid first but it never worked for either of my girls. Once they fail that, they can try the Nexium :) I hope this helps! With my second, she vomited yellow after every single feed. Drs thought it was bile and she had to have all sorts of tests.. all turned out fine and all she needed was reflux meds. She was off them by the time she was around 6 months old.
Maddie you are an amazing mom and I am just a kid but I can see how much you love your children the way you care for Everleigh and Ryder warms my heart I’m so glad you found Randy and now have this handsome little boy and I can just see how much Everleigh loves him too your doing great
Is it the same place which had mould?
Hi I just started watching your videos and you and your family is awesome!You guys are so wholesome and are very social
Everly is SO cute. You are such a good mom.
And Ryder is absolutely adorable. You got this. It’s SO hard 😵💫😭❤️ I had 3 under 3 and my baby just turned 7 months.
Kinda sounds like lactose intolerant
Please make sure you talk to your Dr. Post partum depression is very real. Even mild cases of it. Everything that you eat, Ryder is getting. I agree with you on the energy drinks they could be affecting him. I really don't think they would cause him to vomit, but they will act as a stimulant to him. After Ryder has eaten sit him up in a lounge chair instead of layinh him flat. That should help with his reflux or vomiting. Why not buy what you need to make your cold coffee's at home it is so much cheaper, and you would not have to go all the way to Starbucks to get one. We got our different coffee flavors for lattes at Sobeys.
You are so silly Everly 🩷🩷 I enjoy your questions so keep them coming. You are a wonderful big sister and keep helping mommy ok? You keep being amazing Everly 🩷
Kristina
Maddie you are a great mom! I've been watching you since Everly was a baby. My son did the same as your son did the same thing. I breast fed for a bit, when he got thrush I stopped. Because he kept throwing up my Dr put him on a special formula. Have you tried putting him in a swing? He may just be changing his sleeping habits too. Whatever it is, remember it will pass. Everly is so flipping cute!
Idk how the sniffling doesn’t bother you when you edit these back lol
Right????? It drives me crazy…it’s constant. What in the world?!?
Oh, get over it….l
@@sherrieh2062 were u severely beat up in high school, cuz I’ll bet you were
My son had terrible reflux, I didn’t realise he was allergic to my milk 😢.
Darling girl, it’s okay just to have a sleep during the day. If you’re tired, sleep. Don’t worry about the cleaning….. anyone can do that but only you can sleep to help with tiredness. You’re doing a brilliant job….. the first couple of months are really tough ❤
They said that about mine , too , without running an allergy test. The statistics for dairy allergy are so low it makes me wonder if it’s something else. Any time my son accidentally had milk like at daycare he was fine
What about your milk was he allergic to ? Or do you mean he was allergic to something in your milk that you were consuming?
@@Speedyskull15I would 100% get a different opinion and don't stop breastfeeding just yet , baby might be sensitive to something you're consuming I've never heard of a baby being allergic to breast milk itself 🤔
My 2nd child was allergic to so many foods. When I ate eggs her whole body broke out in a rash. I ended up switching to formula. It's good that I did. A few years later she had an allergy test for everything. She has outgrown m9st of the food allergies except crustaeas and she is 40 now. My word I missed nursing her so much. There was no way I could have figured out all of the foods she WAS sensitive to. APPLES, PEAS EGGS SHELLFISH and i don't remember the rest but a lot of other allergens as well. Aybe try adding a small amount of rice serial to see breast mik before bed. Both of my babies needed this at around 2 weeks of age. They slept much better because they were satisfied.
@@gabrielleburns1716 allergic to my breast milk. It was the lactose. I had to formula feed from 6 months because I had lost too much weight from trying to keep up. He would eat, vomit, poop…. But then be hungry so I fed him again. He didn’t sleep longer than 20 minute naps from birth but night he’d sleep up to 3 hours between a feed. He had bad wind, wanted cuddles. Switched to formula and it was obvious that lactose was the issue. A week after finding the right formula he started sleeping longer at night and having hour long naps during the day.
😂 when he was 3 weeks old, we were on a train and baby farted. The woman next to me told my husband off…. She thought he’d done it… it was stinky. I didn’t know that wasn’t normal. And it was over 25 years ago, I think doctors are much more aware now too.
Hang tough. Youre a great mom. Newborn struggles & postpartum depression are a big thing to deal with. Not to mention throwing in being a college student. Have you tried taking the baby to a chiropractor. Babies can get really out of whack going through the delivery process.
Hang in there. You’re such a good mama. We’re all here to cheer you on ❤
You may need to check what you are eating and drinking, chocolate, energy drinks will all go to your milk. I know chocolate chip cookies were horrible for my kids when I ate them while nursing. Coffee, tea… not good for baby. You are an amazing mom.
Aww Maddie ♥️ from one mommy 2 another don’t ever feel like you have to have it all together. It is hard being a mother and honestly sometimes you gotta fake it till you make it. Believe me I have had days where I would go to the bathroom cry it out then come back and feel relieved and so much better lol. The newborn stage is tough but you got this mama! Maybe baby ryder is colicky … that’s how my first son was and he wouldn’t sleep at all at night 😣 It was rough. It could also be what you are eating and then nursing him..certain foods can make baby throw up or be more sensitive on their tummy’s. It’s going to take awhile before you get on a rhythm and find your new routine with being a mother of 2 now 💛. anytime you have more and more babies it is always scary and terrifying to think how am I going to do this or make it through this but somehow us mommy’s always do! A mothers love is strong 💪. Just keep telling yourself one more day … one more day .. to get through it. Before you know it baby ryder will be 3-6 months then 6-9 .. then 1 and it flys by so incredibly fast you won’t even think about the rough nights and the exhaustion. You will be 2 busy enjoying the new stage of baby Ryder and all the things he is learning to do ♥️ maybe ask dad/husband if he can take baby Ryder for a little bit well you take a nice warm bath and rest for a little to regain your strength mentally and your energy. God bless you and your family Maddie 💛🙏
I would definitely cut any energy drinks and coffee out of your diet. I know it’s tough and you need the energy but I would try a healthy fruit smoothie and lots of water! Also there are green leafy foods that make baby fussy and gassy.
my son was super fussy until I cut out dairy. He's still allergic to it now at 5!
❤❤❤❤are u teen mom
Been here since the beginning with ev and I just wanna say you have grown into the most amazing mother
Maddie I always have a set of spare sheets. Also a suggestion get puppy pads. I use them as pee or puke pads. They are disposable and absorbing.
But try eliminating caffeine and then maybe add back but check out if you are using dairy. But my daughter had bad acid reflux and needed medication
Newborn trenches ???? First time hearing that . Hope things gets better for you as Ryder is still a newborn. Congratulations again. You’re the best mom ever
Love your vlog. Everly is such a smart girl. I love the blue set on you
Omg Maddie, the projectile baby vomit at 2:00am!!! I nursed my twins on this big foam ring thing, holding each under my arms like footballs. At right around 1.5 months...the lovely projectile vomiting at 2am ritual began. What a vivid memory. Sigh.
My doctor put me on a bad baby tummy nursing diet. I don't remember all..I was restricted to like 6 things. The two I remember helping the most were tons of cranberry juice, and mashed potatoes with only salt & pepper, no butter. I remember these because they remained a staple for my breast milk even after stopping the other foods. Like you, I exclusively breastfed.
(Oh and I have ADHD too and coffee was allowed!!!! Either black or with almond milk)
👬 Good luck ❤ - Holly & twins Eric & Lister
Pls stop taking energy drink not good for the baby,may God give u the strength to take care of ur family I wish u all the best from Nigeria
Hi there. My grandson had reflux really bad. The flap in the stomach wouldn’t open to the intestine which caused him to projectile vomit after feeds. They did this simple surgery and he’s been fine ever since.❤
Caffeine will cause reflux , remember your baby gets what u drink/ eat thru breast milk,I had a very fussy baby,it ended up being what I was eating
Just a tip you shouldn’t thaw meat or fish in hot water. Let it sit in cold water even ice water.
She putt it in hot water wtheck that a no no
@@toniavasseur9574LOL
I can’t believe you were a mother at 14 that is crazy we are always here for you and we always have time for you and just to let you know God told me that Everly loves you
There are people giving birth much younger. My sister was 12 n there is someone in the comments that was 11 n now is pregnant again & going to give birth at 13.
@@Den-hz2fi Please don’t try to normalise the fact giving birth at 11,12 & 13 is ok, because it ain’t. Whether it’s caused by systematic abuse or just plain ignorance & promiscuity. It’s just a diabolical notion. People are losing their moral compass while the world turns to shi#.
Oh and changes can take 2 weeks plus to get out of the body so it takes time to take affect
Hey girly! Mom of 2 boys i have a 2 year old and a 7 month old! I would check to see if he has a dairy protein allergy both of my boys had the same issues and sure enough it was dairy protein allergy! My heart goes out you because i still have my days where I’m in the baby trenches! Just know you are not alone and you’re an amazing momma!❤
My son did the same thing as an infant. We were never able to resolve his issues. He ended up having GI problems his entire life.
Last year I got a kitten. My kitten would wake me up meowing at me every night at 1:30 AM because he wanted my attention and wouldn't let me go back to sleep. I know this is not even close to having a human baby.
Hi Ev I like your snails. I have great grandchildren your age. I subscribed a long time ago. I have been watching you grow up. I am glad your mom and dad made a baby brother for you. I have heard you reading on one of your videos. You’re an amazing reader. Keep up the good work. Enjoy your summer, then be ready for first grade in August. I like the video like you asked.
Somebody check on Maddie! She just seems like she's just overwhelmed. Just a hey want me to sit with the kids for an hour is a huge help!
Remember he reacts to EVERTHING you eat. Onions, sugar, caffeine, but mostly and sugar-substitute. BTW, who cries for more reason. Tell DR. about eating habits too. ❤
Looks like Eve! So handsome😘
You’re supposed to thaw meat and fish under cold water not hot. Hot water will start to cook the food, you don’t want that
You look soooo pretty. If you went out in public with Bub no one would assume you are in the throws of newborn time. You look stunning even when you feel like crap! ❤
I never ever comment but two things. 1-you’re going such a great job!! 2- I always thought you sounded like you’re severely intolerant to dairy (like literally sniffing every sentence but maybe you think it’s just your seasonal allergies ?) so with that in mind reflux and dairy intolerance tend to go hand in hand and whatever you consume goes directly into your baby via breast milk so he could very easily benefit from cutting dairy like my reflux baby did years ago 😊
I have a baby boy as well and when I stopped eating dairy and drinking coffee, he stopped being super fussy. Maybe try that --it was a GAME CHANGER. Good luck!
💕the baby is so calm and cute azure a great mother💕
Don't like giving advice, and I am from Ukraine, where we have different way of rising babies, but nevertheless will dare to advice - try avoid energy drinks and coffee. Hope it will help. Remember my baby had bad stomach ache only because I ate cabbage. So guess mom's diet is interconnected with baby's state
Love ❤
If you’re breast feeding, please don’t drink the energy drinks. I’m a mom of three and now a MiMi of 5 baby boys. Trust me when I tell you that it will affect the baby if you drink too much caffeine. My youngest son projectile vomited as a newborn because of what I was drinking and eating. It DOES affect them and also please take care of yourself also. I feel like you may have a bit of post pregnancy depression. You’re a great mom Maddie. ❤
The blue outfit looks great on you!! Seriously 👍
Both my kids had horrendous acid reflux and I put them on nutrimagen and probiotics and it was life changing
Also in their crib I put an acid reflux wedge. It kind of lifts them up a little bit so they aren’t laying flat and helps with acid reflux
Talk to your pediatrician and see if he needs some Zantac. It does sound like reflux. Also make sure you are doing okay and not having any postpartum depression. It is very normal if you are though. Ask for help and yes you can still breastfeed on medication. Your house will keep get rest. You are doing a great job and look fantastic. Do talk to your OB about postpartum depression I think talking someone would really help. Not the internet or family and friends but a professional therapist that deals with postpartum depression. I have been an OB nurse for many years and have 4 kids along with postpartum depression. I didn’t go on medication with my third and with my fourth I did and what a difference it made, totally regretted not doing this before. It was short term and I still nursed without any issues.
I love watching your sweet family video's and I would like to tell you when my son was a baby he had colic and also when loud sound he done slept good. My heart goes out to all the mother's my son and daughter in-law have a baby is almost 5 in July 26 and a baby is 2 months old, You all have a great day and God bless your sweet family.
Everly needs her own channel, Mommy supervised of course! She can get little followers! It would be so cute!
Love yall ❤
Momma you're doing a fantastic job!
try the white noise machine it worked for my grandsons they sleep all night!
I cut my hair to my shoulders after my son was born coz I was sick of having poke in it and I regret it so much, normally it grows very quickly, when I was 16 I had cancer for the second time and lost all my hair, it started grow8ng back in Jan the year I turned 17, so 2013, and I let it grow, cut about 3in off for trimming and a 5 years space of time and then in nov 2018 I cut it to my shoulders and donated 18inched of hair to hair we share, so it always used to grow FAST, but now after my son was born it is less than half the thickness it always was before (so thank go it was suuuupppppeeerrrr thick before) and grows about half the rate it used to, so it’s only at the bottom of my bra now after over 2 years of growth, closer to 2.5 (have had a couple of trims, maybe 4in off in that time)
So I just want to say, I love you're family so much. I also just recently had my baby in april. But I was just wondering if you guys were planning on having more kids or if you were 2 and done.
The short set looks awesome on you . ❤ I’m sure the green will to.
