Best parenting advice you've ever gotten or given? Please share below ⬇
Dont buy mittens get babygrows with built in mittens
I hope to be a husband and a father one of these days. I'm only 32 I've got plenty of time...
Do what your feelings say as mother instincts
Do not buy many clothes they will outgrow them..and enjoy this time as much as possible....😊
Sleep when the baby sleeps and if a task/chore takes less than one minute to finish, do it immediately. The last one isn't really parenting advice, but helped make the end of the day clean up quicker, so you can get in bed sooner.
Also don't be quiet when she's napping and she will learn to sleep through anything.
Best parenting advice I got was to sleep when I could and don’t worry about getting chores done. Get your sleep 🥰
Best advice ever!!!!!
It must be intense having to balance life with a newborn baby + making quality content for us. We appreciate it so much Julia! I'm not a mom yet but I'm so thankful that I have someone like you to look up to! I actually learned quite a few things from your instagram stories! 💖
That's so kind of you! Thank you so much for being here ☺☺☺
You guys are naturals... Honor seems so content & you guys seem so chill, incorporating such a big change into your lives. So happy for you & your adorable little family! 💖
Thank you, Erica!! ❤❤❤❤
I think Julia asked us not to use name in the comments
@@shanandananscoo I thought that was for the previous video only, because she asked followers to guess the name. That was my interpretation, anyway- but if I'm wrong, I apologize.
Cosleeping was the best choice for us sleep-wise and nothing anyone can say will make me change my mind about how helpful it is haha.
You're doing an incredible job!
You're doing a great job! I love seeing brand new parents figuring it out in what looks like a pretty smooth process.
This brings back so many magical memories. Yes it is tiring, yes you do have 'whose the most exhausted' competitions with your partner but it passes, you get into a routine and they sleep longer at night and you get back to normal. Enjoy it because these are the memories you will treasure in old age.
lol the "most exhausted competitions".........those are definitely a thing 😂😂😂
Thought this was a funny comment, I don't recall every having that contest. Ha! I knew that I was more exhausted than any other parent I knew (friends/family/coworkers), but I didn't try to convince anyone of that LOL.
I definitely never had those with my partner-- Maybe that is one blessing of having a one stay at home parent. Since I was going to work, my sleep during the night got a lot of priority. (Although I was still night nursing for 2 years LOL)
I’m a senior in hs now and have followed you since seventh or eighth grade 😭🤣 so happy for you and I adore your little babe - I was legit tearing up babies just get to me ❤️ ty for sharing with us
Best advice I've ever seen is there was a poor poor mom on TikTok who was having a rough go with a colicky baby. She was a mess. Basically having a breakdown. You just wanted to hug her through the screen. Several people recommended something called "Windy" or "Windi". She made a video a few days later and the difference was INTENSE. She was happier, baby was happier, it was amazing. So if colic becomes something really bad, that's my best advice.
Congratulations!!!! She’s beautiful! The baby skin issues typically go away on its own. I wouldn’t worry. I have 3 babies and we never treated their skin we just let it heal on it’s own. So happy for you and your family. ❤
My daughter would not sleep in any sort of crib or Bassinett I was so exhausted I co slept with precautions and saftey and wow game changer! Whatever works for you and Baby 😊 happy mum happy baby!
GAME CHANGER for us too (and way less scary than the internet makes it out to be)!
This made me miss the newborn stage so much. And I agree 100% with what you said in the beginning. When I was pregnant I swore I wouldn't do this or that, especially cosleeping. My daughter was about 2ish months old when I finally caved and started cosleeping. She would never sleep more than 30 minutes in her bassinet, and at night if she did sleep longer than that *I* wouldn't sleep at all because I'd constantly be up and watching her breathe. One night I tried it and it was the first night since I had had her that I got more than a cat nap in, plus being able to just lay on my side in the middle of the night and feeding her I feel genuinely saved my sanity. You guys are doing amazing, and motherhood looks beautiful on you. 💗
omgosh so adorable watching nick feed her what a little doll
I gave up dairy for the first few months of breastfeeding as well, and was able to reintroduce it slowly back into my diet at about 6 months. My firstborn is now 20 and he has no food allergies. I also raised 2 kids without ever owning a crib: we practiced safe cosleeping and learning to nurse laying down was literally life changing!!! We all got sooooo much more sleep! Funny that you had such incredible thirst - I don’t remember feeling that, although I did drink a lot to remain hydrated. For me, the *instant my son would latch on, I would be overcome with the need to sleep! Enjoy your sweet Honor and congratulations again. You and Nick both look so happy!!!
I have watched your ASMR videos for years. Only recently have I become familiar with your day to day life. Congratulations to you and Nick. Sending my very best to you and your lovely family.
Awww... It is so touching to see you and Nick being such thoughtful, loving parents (not just to Honor, but to the kitties as well!)💗 I just loved seeing Nick on snot-sucking duty!!🐽 OMG. I never ever knew this was a thing! I had to actually pause your video to go watch the Nose Frida tutorial because I was like What the...??😳 But then I came back to your video and re-watched Nick sucking snot and was like, Wow. Now that's LOVE!! You two are the sweetest parents and I'm totally loving watching you guys as you figure out parenthood. You're killing it!💘💗💞
God bless you and your sweet family! I can see the happiness you and Nick are experiencing in your faces and how in love with Honor you both are. So happy for you!
Thank you so much, Amy!!!
Julia, I've watched many of your videos during the past years and I wish you all the best and congrats to the baby! You are the perfect mom I’m sure, so kind hearted and spiritually mature and a beautiful soul. My all heart goes out to (both of) you:

this is definitely one of the most beautiful video I have seen here on youtube - thankyou for sharing it , wish u and your baby and Nick all the best !
Baby aquaphor and baby aveeno for eczema has helped my baby for eczema or even random skin dryness. The aquaphor worked amazing for rashes and redness
Bless her little heart such an Angel ❤
Rules go out the window with a newborn. We were exactly like you and Nick just finding our way and seeing what works best for us. Our son also despised the bassinet. Babies are such funny little creatures 😂 You’re doing great.
Both of my kids had the acne/eczema and it went away. They never seemed a bit bothered by it (they also weren’t breastfed so I don’t think that matters to prevent it/stop it).
Thank you so much! I've read that baby acne usually goes away after a few weeks but was worried about the eczema (and hoped I hadn't passed my skin genes to here since I get it as an adult). I'm glad to read this.
Take heart, colic does go away on its own and the time varies with the baby. The first month or two are the hardest and it gets easier and the baby miraculously turns into a little person with an endearing personality. Nothing compares to having a child.
I support whatever you want to do in your house with your baby as long as it’s mindful which hello, we know how much you research and consider things before acting. Please just enjoy this time, it goes so fast. You be the best mom you know how to be ❤ we are here to lift you up and love you through it.
And with that squeal in Nick’s arms, Honour has sealed the Princess title 🤣👍
Thanks for the memories! We walked every evening from 6-8pm because it soothed her during her fussy hour. Blessings
Another favorite bit of advice: Attend a few La Leche League meetings. For many its an amazing way to meet likeminded parents and share mother-to-mother support. Granted if you prefer "Ferber" to "attachment", then this would not be a useful tip.
So glad you're enjoying mommy-hood! Best thing I got for baby was a Boppy. I noticed you had pillows scrunched under you (Nick too). Boppy changed everything for me. Made feeding and holding baby 1000% easier and more comfy. But you do what's right for you. That's the real and best advice I can give. Best to you.
You might not drink it ☕️ but you make the absolute shit outta it ❤😂👌
I'm due in a few months and I really needed this video. Especially the sleep part since I'm doing this on my own.
I was just thinking about you earlier today. Glad you're all doing well. Beautiful baby.
I have the same snuggle me in the same color!! I also said I would never use it and never co sleep but ended up loving both!! You know what’s best for you and your baby!! I love the Babo organic healing ointment for eczema it helped my little guy so much. Being a mom is the best feeling in the world, congratulations she is beautiful!!! ❤
Not for infants but later on…Some babies and toddlers can get Cradle cap which looks like yellow hard crust. I eventually add a good coconut oil mask to soften it and then I gently comb it out. Works like a charm!
Julia! You are radiating in this vlog! I am so happy for you guys and glad to hear that everything is going better than you even expected! ❤
Bravo on the kitchen island 😂 wishing you three so much wellness & love ❤
I'm so happy for you girl ! Don't let ppl bad mouth co sleeping ....my daughter slept with me on and off till she was 6....theybwill eventually not want to and it will be ok....now she's 17 and I wish she'd sleep with me every once in a while...lol..enjoy that closeness while u can. ❤️
“Out of a huge boob, that’s the dream” 🤣 nick is so funny when he talks on camera
When the baby sleeps.....you go to sleep too.....
Congratulations on your baby!!!
😻😻😻😻I feel so happy for you!!!! Congratulations 😘
Congratulations to you both! She is so adorable! 😍 I have a three year old and she's amazing! This reminded me of her newborn stages.. my tips...
1. Keep a kit in the car (wipes, outfit, socks, burp cloths) I do this now and she's 3 just in case I forget to restock her diaper bag due to mommy brain lol
2. Buy the reusable bib with the pocket to catch food
3. Keep your boobs and body hydrated. I had trouble breastfeeding due to thyroid issues but it's less painful if your skin isn't dry
4. Keep taking prenatal vitamins to help with hair loss
5. Pick your favorite thing to do alone and make sure you do it weekly.... to preserve your sanity. It's easy to get swept up into being everything to your little one and neglecting yourself. You're at your best for them when you take time to take care of you. 😘
We hard the hardest time with GERD with our daughter. Klaire Labs Infant Therbiotic was and still is life changing. Oh we still cosleep and they’re not babies anymore. Cosleeping is the only way we were able to get some sleep and I just love Cosleeping with my little ones
I have had 3 children. I cut out sugar whilst breastfeeding and my baby slept through and no digestive issues. Very happy child x
She’s so cute 😭 Enjoy every minute. My son just turned 4 and I have NO idea how it happened. Also, the Snuggle Me Organic was a life saver for me. I even bought the toddler size when my son grew out of the smaller one ❤
Very impressed with your one-handed drink making skills! I love that you are using products that work for you, and that are popular in other countries, despite US guidelines (based on the lower common denominator of parental skills.) I love looking at all the Nordic and Danish baby products, they are so cool!
I just want to say congrats!!! You guys are a beautiful family! ❤️❤️❤️
your skin looks incredibleeeeeee
I had a baby 7 months ago, and I’m remembering the early days as you go through them! For the baby acne or eczema you describe-if it’s baby acne, I found that Tubby Todd all over ointment helped. However, my son had the cow’s milk sensitivity too, so his face rash/bumps were a reaction to that. After a few weeks of me going dairy free in my diet (and switching any formula supplementations to hypoallergenic formula), his skin cleared. Good luck, you’re doing great!
Our baby was very colicky for a couple of months but bouncing him in our arms on a yoga ball helped so much! That was the only thing that actually soothed him and helped him fall asleep
Congrats, Love your channel, Keep up the good work, God bless!!!
The best advice I have is to wash any baby clothes stained with breastmilk or baby poo in hot water (to break down the fats) and then skip the dryer & line dry in direct sun. The sun oxidizes the stains & it's seriously like magic watching the them disappear! I wish I would have learned this way earlier on. This process saved so many of my favorite outfits and I was then able to pass them on to other new mothers in great condition. 😊
I just happen to be listening to a Stephen King's The Stand right now and I'm just.. I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS BOOK lol. It's been YEARS since I've listened to a book that has gripped me this much and I've been an Audible member almost since their beginning (I actually just recently canceled and this is one of the books I got when I was trying to use up all my credits).. I'm not a horror fan so I never listened thought to listen to a Stephen King book before. I am a sci-fi fan though and when I googled a list of the best sci-fi books of all time, The Stand was one of them.. IT'S.SO.GOOD.
Also, this part;
Julia: "I want to be a baby again.."
Nick: "I think we can arrange something.."
Who doesn't love a man with a quick wit? 😂
You literally have a post pregnancy glow! ❤
Loving these videos of ur family of 3 ❤
Oats are heavily sprayed with glyphosate so make sure you’re eating organic. Costco has organic sprouted oats. 👍 Glyphosate goes through the breast milk to baby.
Bottle-feeding tip, make sure the nipple is always full (fully tilted) so they’re not swallowing air, helps with gas
My baby is 15 months old now,and we started to sleep as always when he was three months old. The Best advice? Don't listen any advice and trust your gut. ;) I always say Thank you, and then my hubby and I do whatever we want. :D
Loved this vlog! You’re such a great mom and Honor is so beautiful!
you are doing so great momma!! ❤️❤️
Body Armor water was a recommendation my nieces got. It helped with the feeling dehydrated while breast feeding.
Glad you are both getting more sleep it's so important. She is so darn cute !
How are the cat's taking to the baby ?
You and your partner get a free pass on things you might say from 9pm to 9am. Sleep deprivation can make even the kindest hearts mean. Once the baby sleeps for 8 hours plus in a row for a couple weeks you can go back to being accountable for kindness all the time. You’re doing a great job. ❤
My son was the most cranky in the evening. Look up “witching hour” for breastfed babies. And breast milk baths for the eczema.
Where’d you get your nursing chair?? I’m obsessed!
It's BabyLetto! Added both of them in the description, hope that helps!
HL rolling over near the baby hand 😚
Now I can see her face she looks a lot like Nick!!
Congratulations!!!
Julia, for baby acne I used Mustela micellar water for my baby and it went away in two days
This is hella off topic but I just wanted to say your beauty is unreal 😭❤️
Congratulations!
Oh Julia, I'm sure you know this already but I thought i'd throw it out there in case you didn't. You might be missing electrolytes when you are thirsty. You can make your own with a combo of cal-mag and sea salt I think? You can look it up. But it does seem to work well to quench that thirst that is hard to quench.
You might want to try caraway seed Oil! In Germany the doctors recommend this for our babies if there's a problem with gas
Love audible too!!! Already paying the fee on my android.
Best app! I had to upgrade to 2 audiobooks/month to sustain my habits 😂
She a beautiful
Rock your baby in the sun. It forces them to close their eyes 🤭😂
I’m not a mom but a couple of my friends are and they always swear by putting the breast milk on the skin for baby acne/ cradle crap/ generic dry skin. apparently breast milk just works wonders!!
I had to give up dairy with my daughter too! She outgrew it around four months. Hang in there!
Also, she’s seven and still thinks that sleepovers in my bed are the most fun ever- but also feels so safe and secure in her own because she had a cozy place in ours when she needed it. You all need sleep, however you can get it!
Congratulations, she's precious! What is her name?
your babygirl is so cute!!!! 😍👼♀️🍼💕
Share sleep with your baby and nurse as long as your child wants/needs to-but don’t share with people who are not like minded. Find other women who wear their baby close, co-sleep and feed their baby breastfeeding, and who won’t judge you. We all are experts on our own babies, and my baby girl was gassy all the time. She outgrew it as she grew. It’s temporary! Cuddle and snuggle and enjoy. They grow up way too fast! Nap with your baby every day! Makes everyone happier. My kids are in college now and still
Love the memories, and jump in bed with me when they need to talk to their mom! It’s the best investment in parenting I ever made. Sleep will come - don’t stress over it. Precious babies.💖
Lovely. Thanks for sharing🌸
Where did you get the coffee machine
Are you planning on making a comeback to ASMR?
Didnt this used to be an ASMR channel?
Congratulations !
As advices, i'll give you some from my Mom : to help your daughter with gazes , massage her belly with olive oil (that's how moms in Algeria do as ancestral method) but respect the direction of her colon from right to left , down to up then up to down .
And fun fact, in my culture, we don't go outside with the baby After sunset, they Say that Bad spirits are out night lol does other cultures Say that? I'm curious lol
Congratulations
breast milk on baby acne works so well!
I'm so happy for you!
Congratulazioni
Earth Mama’s Diaper Balm was my literal go to for everything skin related. So gentle and worked wonders. That and breast milk. I’d put breast milk all over my daughter😂
I have their nipple cream and it's my fav! Def going to try the diaper balm!!
Congratulations I’m 24 weeks atm I’m not a first time mama this is actually my 4th but it’s been over 5 years since I’ve had a newborn plus this is my first son so it’s all new. She is absolutely gorgeous your doing amazing mama ❤
When you’re doing ASMR videos again, could you please make a “pour over coffee/barista” ASMR? That sh*t was relaxing to watch.
I like that idea 💗
my mom had to drink soymilk when i was a baby because of my tummy problems- fixed me right up!!!
Julia: "Imagine sitting by a fire... drinking warm milk..."
Nick: "Out of a huge boob? Yeah, it's the dream" 😂
🍒🍼🔥⛺️
Honestly a lot of the things people say about pregnancy/birth/parenthood can be SO discouraging! So I’ve made it a point to say all the amazing things to new moms!
This is awesome and SAME!!!
but thats not reality...the reality is that its the hardest stressful most amazing blessing/gift we can be given. The hard work and stress never ends but your life becomes magical with a new baby. Its not easy at the same time would never go back. life is complete with our children.
Hi Julia. Don't worry about what people think. You do what's best for you and your daughter.
Thank you for the reminder ❤🙏🏻
I love the cut from ✨just a few ✨ blackberries to 👹so many👹 blackberries
The blackberry lord giveth and the blackberry lord taketh away
You and Nick are simply thriving as parents. You can see on your faces how much joy it brings you. If I could change anything about the newborn era with my kids, I wish I had documented it more. Especially when the second child came along. I hardly have any picture of him because life was a blur with two kids. These blogs will be such a treasure for you to look back on 💙💙💙💙
I’ve been so busy with my pregnancy life I didn’t even realize you were pregnant 😯🥰 congratulations momma 😊
Big congrats to you!! Hope you are enjoying your pregnancy ❤️
@@itsblitzzz thank you, it’s been rough but my due date is next week so I’m hoping to hold my baby soon! The third trimester is rough.
