Let's spend the next 24 hours together as I share what our daily routine looks like as first time parents with a newborn. 🤍 Do you currently have a newborn or you've already been through this stage? I want to hear what your routine looks like or any lessons you've learned along the way! 🫶
Nice video brings back memories of my son (33) and how happy and contented we were, basically you’re taking care of your baby, I did nap when he napped in the beginning, do you try that.? You must take good care of all of you, I love that Christopher has his bottle with him first thing. Congratulations you are doing great.
Congratulations! I've been through newborn stage twice and watched a lot of baby content. Never have I ever seen a co-sleeper/crib on dad's side before. Curious how you came to this choice and what the pro's are!
Congratulations 🎉 m happy for u…. I have been on your journey and had similar heartbreaking experience 2 years back… but now blessed with baby boy who is 6 months old and have such a busy and lovely time with my boy…. Babies grow old soo fast… enjoy your journey ❤ lots of love to both of u 😊
I am 53 and my kids are 23, 32, and 34. My middle child had his first baby after several rounds of IVF with his wife. I am blessed enough to be trusted to care for my granddaughter while her parents work. She is now 11 months own and the absolute light of my life. I never thought it was possible to have love like this. I cant even describe how incredibly special it is. The time goes so very, very fast. The saying is so true that the days are long, but the years are short. Embrace each moment and each stage. Oliver is precious. I love his emotional support hand. 💚
I hope new moms don’t feel discouraged by this video. To me, it’s so unrealistic and unrelatable. I’m on leave with my 3rd baby and I’m so tired in the mornings I don’t even have a chance to shower or get myself ready, my husband works and can’t take the baby all morning let alone go for walks, I can barely get 5 oz in 30 mins pumping, and baby wakes up 3 times a night. Know everyone’s different but if anyone feels like me, please know you’re not alone.
Plus her baby doesn’t cry at all! Like, what does she want to do? Help other moms or show her day, because it’s perfect? I don’t think I can believe that her baby spends the whole day without crying. That’s the most difficult part, in my opinion: to tolerate the yelling and to understand the baby is just willing to communicate. It’s super stressful.
I love physical books, but since having a baby I’ve found that having a kindle makes reading so much easier! I can read while nursing and my hand doesn’t get tired at all!
Perfect video showing a day-in-the-life with Oliver. THIS is amazing content, perhaps one of your best videos ever! So nice to see how you & Christopher work together and also create your own individual customs with your son. Well done!
I know physical books are soooo appealing, but I bet you’d LOVE a kindle! One-handed reading will be so useful during the early days of round the clock breastfeeding and contact naps. You’re doing great! ❤
I can't watch the full video but it's not because of you. It's definitely just a sore spot for me since I didn't get much physical support and I felt like postpartum was the most dehumanizing experience because I rarely got to shower, eat, feel human, have 5 seconds alone, etc. I'm happy you guys were able to find something that works for you. We're expecting baby 2 and I am definitely not ready for the newborn phase again. I LOVED the newborn phase without the dehumanizing aspect where I could not do anything for myself 😅
I love watching baby videos. I can’t wait until the day I’m blessed with a baby. I know God is working on things and in the perfect timing everything will fall into place.
It makes me so happy to see yall. I’ve been watching you guys for years. And it’s so fun seeing you guys go through all the ups and downs and changes. Yall look so happy. And I’m so happy for you guys!
I never got out with my babies much, and it took a huge toll on my mental health. I also never took a moment for myself. It was a struggle but my babies and I made it. I have 9, 6, and 2 year olds. You're off to a great start and baby Oliver is just so so precious ❤ take care!!
I'm loving these slow morning videos with baby! I have two boys and it can be so hard to have a slow morning. But I love seeing how you are as a mother and just cherishing each moment without rushing. Cant wait to see more videos with you showing your routines in motherhood❤️
You guys are doing awesome! Glad you got over that nursing "hump". I remember it, around 6 weeks I was ready to give up, but then it got much better. The pumps are improved now too.
Ashlynne, thank you so much for sharing this video. It was so special to see you and Christopher working together as partners and parents. What you two have is truly an inspiration. I’ve been here many years now and today was the first time I’ve ever read a rude comment. I wanted to be defensive because I was offended for your little family. I don’t like conflict so I just kept my thoughts to myself and prayed. I want to send encouragement y’all’s way and say you’re doing such a great job! Also your purple flowers on your patio were so nice to admire. 🙏🏻💜
Yes the nursing can be so difficult! I shed many tears as well! I will say I do think some babies naturally nurse easily and others don’t. One of my sons and I really struggled. But my other son from moments after birth nursed like a champ.
I’m pregnant with baby #2 due in September. You’re doing so amazing! Breastfeeding is hard. I took it one week at a time and ended up breastfeeding for 13 months. When my daughter was about 10 weeks old, I started taking her to story time at the library. It was a nice free activity. They have baby times with songs. Lots of fun! She loved watching all the other kids. We still go to different story times at least once a week and she’s almost 2.
I found breastfeeding difficult too. I decided to pump everything. Until my son was about 12 weeks old. It's a whole story. I wish you all the best and much love. ❤❤❤
This video was so beautiful and relaxing to watch. Fellow new mama here- my baby girl is 6 weeks old today! Thanks for your encouraging words about breastfeeding- we’re still figuring it out but hoping we can reach this level of calm and routine soon!
Love this times a thousand! So glad you are taking time to enjoy this stage. I took lots of time, but looking back, I could have taken more and wish I would've. It goes so fast! Love seeing God's blessing on you and your husband and the sweetness of it all. Thanks for sharing!
What you said about underestimating breastfeeding is so common! I was the same way. It was such a huge learning curve but with my second baby I had that super easy/natural experience right off the bat since I knew so much more (and she was just better at it than my son). Between the two of them I’ve breastfed for 2 years now and it’s been such a beautiful experience!
What a beautiful video!! I know these are the good parts that you share and have some difficult times as well. But seriously you make it look so easy! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so much for making this and making it so detailed- I took notes. It really takes seeing it to understand what a day in the life looks like- I had no idea it was this many feedings/ changing/ naps....I was exhausted by the time you had breakfast lol- but really good to see how it can look and some ideas on how a dad can help even if he has to work during the day. 💕 I have 3 more months until I'm in your shoes- thank you!!
This was really nice to watch! I’m expecting my first baby (week 26) but I have no clue how the first time will or could be. So nice to see how your days look like. Hope to see more of this! Thanks!
Awww thanks for sharing. How beautiful ... I have just been blessed with a new granddaughter...three weeks early. And both Mummy and Baby are doing well. ..you look so happy and content with Oliver....so happy for you all..Make those memories xx
Wow! Oliver is such a good baby! My first daughter (she is now 25, a doctor and married) never slept a whole night until the age of 3 and she used to wake up 3 to 5 times a night. At first I used to breastfeed her exclusively but I got so exhausted that I finally gave it up when she was three months old. I used to blame myself, thinking I did not have enough milk and so she was hungry all the time. But it turns out she was an incredibly active and intelligent child. My second was better and started sleeping the night at around 6 months old. She is now 20.
I tracked everything with our two children as well. I had worked in childcare and was a nanny before having our children, so it was natural for me to write down diaper changes nap times feeding times et cetera Of course, This was in '97 and 2000, before cell phones/apps. I had made a zyrox copy for a baby binder and had made hundreds of copies, one for every day... I had included a little bit of art on each page... And filled out A. fresh page for each day to log down all of those details. The binders are a sweet memory to look back on! It is kind of surreal to think I could tell you rn, feeding times and amounts, diaper changes and naps....and then special things about the day when say our son was 3 months and 4 days old ha ha. I kept these binders up for each of our children until even-well much after- their first year.. Both of our children were big sleepers as well and I used to tell people they liked their sleep like me ha ha Our daughter slept through the night when she was born and I used to worry I should be waking her to feed her but she just would sleep and sleep. Our son would take three hour naps when he was a toddler! To this day, they still love their sleep❤❤ That is SOO wonderful you are able to succeed at breastfeeding, that you had such greatsupport. Our son never did successfully latch on well and our daughter was not an eager eater in the beginning so it was very hard for me. I dealt with a lot of guilt not breastfeeding them. It is so wonderful to see the support tht people have now and also, tht there is no judgment either way!! You are a wonderful mom and so much Of what you do reminds me of how I felt and what I used to do😊❤ God bless your your sweet family❤❤ P.S. Aren’t those bouncy seats wonderful? ( A staple that has stuck around for forever) I also love the new-to-me trend of baby wearing/carrier napping/contact napping. I think that was just beginning to become popular after our daughter was born in two thousand so I missed out on that!
Thank you so much for sharing. And breastfeeding/bottle is never something to feel guilty about. Sounds like you did what was best for your family. 🤍🤍 And yes!! Love our bouncer 🥰🥰
Every baby is so different!! I really just think we got lucky with a baby that loves sleep 🙈 But probably means we’re in for it whenever we have our next 😅
You’re doing great! I always talked to my children and that really helps with growth. I always liked taking them in the carriage fora walk ,fresh air was great for both of us! God bless you! Your husband also! You are the best parents! Oliver so cute!
Me recuerda mucho a mi hijo mayor ahora tiene 24 años y era muy bueno comía y dormía todo el día y casi toda la noche. Mi segundo hijo no fue igual dormía muy poco y además tenía que depender de los horarios del mayor para ir a llevarle al colegio y recogerle y todas las demás actividades. Os envío un abrazo ❤
Great video! And welcome to. Motherhood ❤️ I must admit I am a bit jealous my 12 week old boy only sleeps on me even at night 😅 enjoy all the free hands time you have! However I love having this little munchkin. Can't wait to watch your journey whilst I am experiencing the same ❤
I love this video but I’m super obsessed with the way you organized the nursery drawers with clothes and diapers and using labels. Do you have a video on how you did all that?
All the other commenters are impressed with the sleeping/breastfeeding and all I want to know is, what's your recipe for the burger bowls?? The one thing mentioned with no link! They look tasty!
He Ashlynne, it's so nice to see you with your baby, loved watching it! And also a not so related question, you quickly mentioned your hair. May I ask what your hair routine is, products etc. I just discovered I have wavy hair and am on a whole journey to figure out how to treat it and since I have fine hair like you, I thought you might have some tips :) Have a lovely rest of your day!
Awww, so sweet! I so remember those days! And reading while nursing was such a wonderful time for me. My daughter would sleep after nursing, so I got extra time with her sleeping on me while I read. I told the gals at the local bookstore that I read while nursing and they got really into it--suggested books for me, etc. It was really fun to kind of share the experience with my community!
So many judgy comments 😅 my first slept great like that too, and my next 3 were pretty good sleepers too! Also had sooo much milk, a blessing but not comfortable and can make nursing difficult, especially in the beginning! You’re doing so great! Oliver is so precious and I’m so happy for you guys! ❤❤
Ashlynne, so sweet to see how the three of you operate as a family on a typical day. I have a 12 week old boy, and was wondering at what point you got Oliver to sleep through the night without feeds? We have to wake up our son every 4-5 hours to eat otherwise he wakes up super cranky out of hunger. I also need to feed/pump that often to keep up my supply, and I don’t even have to output that you seem to (kind jelly, not gonna lie😅). Did you ever wake to pump/feed in the night, and if so, how did you transition Oliver to sleeping a straight 8 hrs (or was it just natural on his part?). Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work as a parent!
Wow I caught this early 🤣. I’ve been wanting to give some (unsolicited, sorry, ik 😅) parenting advice coming from a teenager, for when little Oliver grows up a bit, about any future school work. He’s gonna receive a lot of pressure to do well in school. Especially if he already pressures HIMSELF to do well, the last thing he needs is pressure from his parents. My dad always put pressure on me, while my mom was actually the one who would tell me to go outside and play 😅. It took a lot of habit-unlearning to unwind myself from that mindset of giving it my all in my schoolwork. I’d say a really good general rule is: give 90% of your total effort. You need energy for things that are important, and his life doesn’t need to be school. He needs energy to spend with his family and friends too :) just wanted to say that, because I know a lot of parents put a ton of pressure on their kids to do well in school, but i know you’ll do great :)))
...to think that in the 80s and before then, we had no apps, so phones like that, no owlets, no wraps- we used receiving blankets, no special nursing pillows, no vitamins for new borns, disposable diapers were just coming in and many of us used clothe diapers except for when going out. there were no special chairs for the babies. there was a swing that u had to wind up about every 5 minutes.
Some things were easier though. In the 80’s people also had outside for older kids. Now HOA’s throw a fit if you have a basketball hoop up and people call CPS if kids are out alone.
Hello Ashley I am very happy to see your video you are the best mom I just knew it from the start because of your personality and your husband is excellent also you both made the best parents for your special baby that has been blessed by God for you both God and you exactly where he was taking this beautiful baby of yours to a beautiful home a loving home a clean home and you took everything in full control everything was just so perfect it looked like you were made to be a mother and a wife and a person to clean your house and keep everything cozy and clean because you did everything perfectly you are so perfect in everything you do God bless you and your husband and your beautiful blessing baby God bless you and thank you for sharing your beautiful baby with us I know it makes us very happy to see what a beautiful baby that God has blessed you with thank you for sharing him God bless you and may God continue watching over you your husband and your baby at all times may God's eyes be on you all taken care of you and his arms around you keeping you all safe love you
Some really weird comments here! Lovely video Ashlynne, really nice to see what a typical day looks like for you now. I have two beautiful kids well past baby stage but what a wonderful time, i loved it. Enjoy ☺️ xx
You're doing great!! I don't think I brushed my teeth or made the bed for quite a while after our daughter was born. 😆 it looks like you're settling into motherhood so well!!!
Eggs and soldiers! Is that what you call them? We had them for the first time in New Zealand in 2018 and make them all the time now! Also, how sweet is Oliver?? Especially all bundled up. Omg brings back the new born memories 🥹❤
Such a nice calming routine. Especially the morning. You are a perfect team when it comes to caring for oliver.❤ I have three little ones right now (5 y, 3 y and 4 month) so our mornings are quite different (we started at 4.45 am today) and i can never get my baby (or even the older two) to go to sleep on their own.😅 Also we are out numberd with 3 kids and 2 adults. What i was missing is any advice on spending time with god. I love your inspiration on that topic, as i loved your bible study time before baby.
During the day, yes (and still do). But once Oliver regained his birthweight our doctor said we were able to let him sleep a longer stretch at night. So after the one-week mark (when he hit it), we were able to let him sleep for as long as he was able to one time and that’s gradually gotten longer so that now he sleeps 7-8 hours straight at night. 🤍
Hi there new mama. I am so happy for you. God bless your little family. I will have to ask you. Why do you use swaddling cloth? Isn’t this a little inconvenient for the baby? In Greece,where I come from, our grandmothers used to apply this method. Nowadays thought, all the child psychologists and physicians, forbid as from using swaddling cloth. Does your doctor agree with that?
@SippaOne1 right!? I'm over here eating f oatmeal and 2 eggs every morning and drinking coconut water and dealing with the 3 month milk reduction. Only getting 2 oz a time now when I was gettjng 4.
I just have a fast letdown 😅 Blessing and a curse though. Before Oliver was old enough to take a bottle we really struggled with feedings because the flow was way to fast for him 🤍
Let's spend the next 24 hours together as I share what our daily routine looks like as first time parents with a newborn. 🤍 Do you currently have a newborn or you've already been through this stage? I want to hear what your routine looks like or any lessons you've learned along the way! 🫶
Nice video brings back memories of my son (33) and how happy and contented we were, basically you’re taking care of your baby, I did nap when he napped in the beginning, do you try that.? You must take good care of all of you, I love that Christopher has his bottle with him first thing. Congratulations you are doing great.

Congratulations 🎉 m happy for u…. I have been on your journey and had similar heartbreaking experience 2 years back… but now blessed with baby boy who is 6 months old and have such a busy and lovely time with my boy…. Babies grow old soo fast… enjoy your journey ❤ lots of love to both of u 😊
I am 53 and my kids are 23, 32, and 34. My middle child had his first baby after several rounds of IVF with his wife.

Hi Ashlynne! Love the camera! You look even more amazing! Can you tell us how do you do it?
I hope new moms don’t feel discouraged by this video. To me, it’s so unrealistic and unrelatable. I’m on leave with my 3rd baby and I’m so tired in the mornings I don’t even have a chance to shower or get myself ready, my husband works and can’t take the baby all morning let alone go for walks, I can barely get 5 oz in 30 mins pumping, and baby wakes up 3 times a night.

thank you for this comment 💕
I can relate to this comment!😂
This comment is gold. ❤❤❤

That’s the most difficult part, in my opinion: to tolerate the yelling and to understand the baby is just willing to communicate. It’s super stressful.
@@jadenunes20 you’re right. She didn’t really show us 24 hours with a new born 😂😂😂 she showed us about an hour with perfect lighting and angles
I love physical books, but since having a baby I’ve found that having a kindle makes reading so much easier! I can read while nursing and my hand doesn’t get tired at all!
Same!! And I love that it's backlit so it's not too bright for my husband in the middle of the night
What a dream, and what a cooperative baby!! He looks incredibly alert already, how lovely!
He really is such a sweet and easy baby 🤍
Perfect video showing a day-in-the-life with Oliver. THIS is amazing content, perhaps one of your best videos ever! So nice to see how you & Christopher work together and also create your own individual customs with your son. Well done!
Gosh this is so lovely and peaceful ❤. My little boy screamed for pretty much every minute he was awake for the first two months 😅 x
Super grateful Oliver has been a really easy baby. But every baby is just to different 🤍🤍
I know physical books are soooo appealing, but I bet you’d LOVE a kindle! One-handed reading will be so useful during the early days of round the clock breastfeeding and contact naps. You’re doing great! ❤
I have a candle and it's been so convenient!! Use it whenever I don't already have the physical book 🤍🤍
Your newborn almost sleeps eight hours a night?! You guys have it so easy you have no idea!😊
I can't watch the full video but it's not because of you. It's definitely just a sore spot for me since I didn't get much physical support and I felt like postpartum was the most dehumanizing experience because I rarely got to shower, eat, feel human, have 5 seconds alone, etc. I'm happy you guys were able to find something that works for you. We're expecting baby 2 and I am definitely not ready for the newborn phase again. I LOVED the newborn phase without the dehumanizing aspect where I could not do anything for myself 😅

It makes me so happy to see yall. I’ve been watching you guys for years. And it’s so fun seeing you guys go through all the ups and downs and changes. Yall look so happy. And I’m so happy for you guys!
Aww thank you so much!! We truly are loving this stage 🤍🤍
Oh my Heart. You 3 had me in tears, such a sweet family. What a Blessing to see such a Loving family.
Motherhood suits you so well Ashlynne! You’re doing a fantastic job ❤️
I never got out with my babies much, and it took a huge toll on my mental health. I also never took a moment for myself. It was a struggle but my babies and I made it. I have 9, 6, and 2 year olds. You're off to a great start and baby Oliver is just so so precious ❤ take care!!
I'm loving these slow morning videos with baby! I have two boys and it can be so hard to have a slow morning. But I love seeing how you are as a mother and just cherishing each moment without rushing. Cant wait to see more videos with you showing your routines in motherhood❤️
your morning routine as a new mom looks so peaceful. Im happy that you have been able to enjoy your mornings!
When cooking remember to turn the pot handle in so when your child is older not as easily reached
Great tip!!
You guys are doing awesome! Glad you got over that nursing "hump". I remember it, around 6 weeks I was ready to give up, but then it got much better. The pumps are improved now too.
you holding him and rocking him...sooo sweet💖
Thank you both for sharing a bit of your precious family time. May God continue to bless you both.
Ashlynne, thank you so much for sharing this video. It was so special to see you and Christopher working together as partners and parents. What you two have is truly an inspiration. I’ve been here many years now and today was the first time I’ve ever read a rude comment. I wanted to be defensive because I was offended for your little family.

Yes the nursing can be so difficult! I shed many tears as well!
I will say I do think some babies naturally nurse easily and others don’t. One of my sons and I really struggled. But my other son from moments after birth nursed like a champ.
I’m pregnant with baby #2 due in September. You’re doing so amazing! Breastfeeding is hard. I took it one week at a time and ended up breastfeeding for 13 months.
When my daughter was about 10 weeks old, I started taking her to story time at the library. It was a nice free activity. They have baby times with songs. Lots of fun! She loved watching all the other kids. We still go to different story times at least once a week and she’s almost 2.
I found breastfeeding difficult too. I decided to pump everything. Until my son was about 12 weeks old. It's a whole story. I wish you all the best and much love. ❤❤❤
This video was so beautiful and relaxing to watch. Fellow new mama here- my baby girl is 6 weeks old today! Thanks for your encouraging words about breastfeeding- we’re still figuring it out but hoping we can reach this level of calm and routine soon!
I found out recently I’m pregnant! I’m 5 weeks pregnant so still very early but love videos like this!
Loved this. I’m due in October with my first. This made it look almost peaceful to be a mom once settled into a vague routine.
I see you're enjoying being a mom. What a gift😢❤🎉#Tears of joy!!!
Love this times a thousand! So glad you are taking time to enjoy this stage. I took lots of time, but looking back, I could have taken more and wish I would've. It goes so fast! Love seeing God's blessing on you and your husband and the sweetness of it all. Thanks for sharing!
What you said about underestimating breastfeeding is so common! I was the same way. It was such a huge learning curve but with my second baby I had that super easy/natural experience right off the bat since I knew so much more (and she was just better at it than my son). Between the two of them I’ve breastfed for 2 years now and it’s been such a beautiful experience!
Yes!! 🙌 It takes a while to get the hang of! Good to know it comes more easily the second time around 🥰
Oliver is so sweet and such a great baby! It looks like you settled in as mommy so well and you can tell you love it! 😊
What a beautiful video!! I know these are the good parts that you share and have some difficult times as well. But seriously you make it look so easy! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you so much for making this and making it so detailed- I took notes. It really takes seeing it to understand what a day in the life looks like- I had no idea it was this many feedings/ changing/ naps....I was exhausted by the time you had breakfast lol- but really good to see how it can look and some ideas on how a dad can help even if he has to work during the day. 💕 I have 3 more months until I'm in your shoes- thank you!!
12 ounces it 10 minutes is crazy!! good job mama 😍
I let my kids nap anywhere and everywhere as well. (Supervised). Sometimes it’s the only thing that works. Congrats on your new life changes!
Curly tip: try a denman brush! Changed everything for me
You have a very strong bonding ❤i love to see how you interact with your son ,Its all about that 🥰
This was really nice to watch! I’m expecting my first baby (week 26) but I have no clue how the first time will or could be. So nice to see how your days look like. Hope to see more of this! Thanks!
Doing a great job mom and dad. Isn't GOD amazing! Oliver is so sweet and handsome. What a beautiful family. Congratulations. ❤❤❤
What a beautiful season. Nothing like the newborn phase.
The eye contact and bonding during nursing is priceless, it makes you slow down with your baby.
Awww thanks for sharing. How beautiful ... I have just been blessed with a new granddaughter...three weeks early. And both Mummy and Baby are doing well. ..you look so happy and content with Oliver....so happy for you all..Make those memories xx
Wow! Oliver is such a good baby! My first daughter (she is now 25, a doctor and married) never slept a whole night until the age of 3 and she used to wake up 3 to 5 times a night.

His little hand out of the swaddle :') ❤❤
I know 😭😭
OMG! 'm 28 and considering to have one of my own. Thanks for this video, is so beatiful I almost cry!

You are doing great! Wonderful you take a bit of time for you even though it is probably only a few minutes! Congratulations again!
Love how u explain through out the videos❤
Thanks, guys, for sharing this with us. Really enjoyed seeing this. He is a gorgeous baby and has loving, great parents ❤
his little cry 🥹🥹🥹 i still don’t know how your baby sleeps for so long already!! i am trying to get mine but he is such a mover
Every baby is so different!! I really just think we got lucky with a baby that loves sleep 🙈 But probably means we’re in for it whenever we have our next 😅
Is he typically swaddled?
@@1027vvergara yeah
Thank you for sharing a little bit about your beautiful family with us, Oliver is absolutely precious and you are doing great mama! ❤
Awww thank you!! 🥰
You’re doing great! I always talked to my children and that really helps with growth. I always liked taking them in the carriage fora walk ,fresh air was great for both of us! God bless you! Your husband also! You are the best parents! Oliver so cute!
Love that!! We're a big fan of walks too!
Me recuerda mucho a mi hijo mayor ahora tiene 24 años y era muy bueno comía y dormía todo el día y casi toda la noche. Mi segundo hijo no fue igual dormía muy poco y además tenía que depender de los horarios del mayor para ir a llevarle al colegio y recogerle y todas las demás actividades. Os envío un abrazo ❤
I just stumbled on your account and love how honest and wholesome your content is 🥰 May I ask what camera you film with?
Great video! And welcome to. Motherhood ❤️ I must admit I am a bit jealous my 12 week old boy only sleeps on me even at night 😅 enjoy all the free hands time you have! However I love having this little munchkin. Can't wait to watch your journey whilst I am experiencing the same ❤
I love this video but I’m super obsessed with the way you organized the nursery drawers with clothes and diapers and using labels. Do you have a video on how you did all that?
I do!! Organized the dresser (and did some other baby prep) in this video: ruclips.net/video/Iaxr3SviGpA/видео.htmlsi=F_M5qBa4XmdcUwme
All the other commenters are impressed with the sleeping/breastfeeding and all I want to know is, what's your recipe for the burger bowls?? The one thing mentioned with no link! They look tasty!
He Ashlynne, it's so nice to see you with your baby, loved watching it! And also a not so related question, you quickly mentioned your hair. May I ask what your hair routine is, products etc. I just discovered I have wavy hair and am on a whole journey to figure out how to treat it and since I have fine hair like you, I thought you might have some tips :) Have a lovely rest of your day!
What a lovely day. Blessings to you and your fami!y.
Awww, so sweet! I so remember those days! And reading while nursing was such a wonderful time for me. My daughter would sleep after nursing, so I got extra time with her sleeping on me while I read. I told the gals at the local bookstore that I read while nursing and they got really into it--suggested books for me, etc. It was really fun to kind of share the experience with my community!
Aww that's so sweet! Love that it's something you were able to find community around too! 🫶
So many judgy comments 😅 my first slept great like that too, and my next 3 were pretty good sleepers too! Also had sooo much milk, a blessing but not comfortable and can make nursing difficult, especially in the beginning!
You’re doing so great! Oliver is so precious and I’m so happy for you guys! ❤❤
Lovely video, Ashlynne! Oliver seems like such a sweetheart! Makes me excited about my baby girl coming in September :)
Aww congratulations!! That is so sweet 🥰
This was such a lovely watch… Im so glad for you and yr little family. Much love and blessings. Xx
Ashlynne, my Philippine vacation is finally comes to an end!🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hope you enjoyed it!
Ashlynne Eaton, amazing video it was really entertaining
Ashlynne, so sweet to see how the three of you operate as a family on a typical day. I have a 12 week old boy, and was wondering at what point you got Oliver to sleep through the night without feeds? We have to wake up our son every 4-5 hours to eat otherwise he wakes up super cranky out of hunger. I also need to feed/pump that often to keep up my supply, and I don’t even have to output that you seem to (kind jelly, not gonna lie😅). Did you ever wake to pump/feed in the night, and if so, how did you transition Oliver to sleeping a straight 8 hrs (or was it just natural on his part?). Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work as a parent!
Yay glad to be watching this video ❤
Wow I caught this early 🤣. I’ve been wanting to give some (unsolicited, sorry, ik 😅) parenting advice coming from a teenager, for when little Oliver grows up a bit, about any future school work. He’s gonna receive a lot of pressure to do well in school. Especially if he already pressures HIMSELF to do well, the last thing he needs is pressure from his parents. My dad always put pressure on me, while my mom was actually the one who would tell me to go outside and play 😅. It took a lot of habit-unlearning to unwind myself from that mindset of giving it my all in my schoolwork. I’d say a really good general rule is: give 90% of your total effort. You need energy for things that are important, and his life doesn’t need to be school. He needs energy to spend with his family and friends too :) just wanted to say that, because I know a lot of parents put a ton of pressure on their kids to do well in school, but i know you’ll do great :)))
Thank you for sharing 🤍🤍
Lovely vlog, congratulations on baby Oliver💖💖
...to think that in the 80s and before then, we had no apps, so phones like that, no owlets, no wraps- we used receiving blankets, no special nursing pillows, no vitamins for new borns, disposable diapers were just coming in and many of us used clothe diapers except for when going out. there were no special chairs for the babies. there was a swing that u had to wind up about every 5 minutes.
Honestly hats off to all you who did that!! 🙌
Some things were easier though. In the 80’s people also had outside for older kids. Now HOA’s throw a fit if you have a basketball hoop up and people call CPS if kids are out alone.
What kind of plants do you have outside? 😍

Does the cold brew give u energy and does it wake u up?
My newborns name is Oliver, too! Love your video.
I am 23. And. I. Love babies
You guys are doing great! I think I'm seeing Christopher's face on little Olivers?
You are definitely right. Daddy’s mini me 🤍
Some really weird comments here!
Lovely video Ashlynne, really nice to see what a typical day looks like for you now. I have two beautiful kids well past baby stage but what a wonderful time, i loved it. Enjoy ☺️ xx
Thank you!!
Did you mention how many weeks he is? I have a 3 week newborn and curious what week your son is 🙏
You're doing great!! I don't think I brushed my teeth or made the bed for quite a while after our daughter was born. 😆 it looks like you're settling into motherhood so well!!!
how do you breastfeed when you are out & about? i struggle with that part
he is adorable. congratulations to both of you :-)
he is sooo cute!!
Eggs and soldiers! Is that what you call them? We had them for the first time in New Zealand in 2018 and make them all the time now! Also, how sweet is Oliver?? Especially all bundled up. Omg brings back the new born memories 🥹❤
What a fun name! I grew up calling them “dippy toast” because that’s what you do with the bread. But I think that was a family name 😂
Congratulations ✨ 🎉❤ Take care 😇
Woooooof here’s an unrealistic vlog of being a first time Mom 😅
Same thought😮
Gorgeous video x
I wish I get 10-12 ounces! I am lucky to get 2 ounces lol
Such a nice calming routine. Especially the morning. You are a perfect team when it comes to caring for oliver.❤ I have three little ones right now (5 y, 3 y and 4 month) so our mornings are quite different (we started at 4.45 am today) and i can never get my baby (or even the older two) to go to sleep on their own.😅 Also we are out numberd with 3 kids and 2 adults.
What i was missing is any advice on spending time with god. I love your inspiration on that topic, as i loved your bible study time before baby.
For the first 6 weeks did you feed baby every 2-3 hours? I’m dreading this :(
During the day, yes (and still do). But once Oliver regained his birthweight our doctor said we were able to let him sleep a longer stretch at night. So after the one-week mark (when he hit it), we were able to let him sleep for as long as he was able to one time and that’s gradually gotten longer so that now he sleeps 7-8 hours straight at night. 🤍
@@AshlynneEatonsounds like a dream! That’s awesome.
That’s a big newborn
His such a tall little man 🥰
Oliver? I'M NAMING MY FIRST SON OLIVER! He's due September ^_^
So u dont wake ur baby up and just let him sleep through the night ?! Is it safe ?!
Yes, that is totally normal
Whats your delivery type normal or c section
Hi there new mama. I am so happy for you. God bless your little family. I will have to ask you. Why do you use swaddling cloth? Isn’t this a little inconvenient for the baby? In Greece,where I come from, our grandmothers used to apply this method. Nowadays thought, all the child psychologists and physicians, forbid as from using swaddling cloth. Does your doctor agree with that?
No, actually physicians recommend it here in the US
Please do an updated what's on youuur phone video ❤
how in the world are you getting so much milk?
Did you say 10 oz in 10 minutes!?
@@thebarefoothobbitshe did say that which im surprised cuz later she stated she only ate a granola bar before lunch…
@SippaOne1 right!? I'm over here eating f oatmeal and 2 eggs every morning and drinking coconut water and dealing with the 3 month milk reduction. Only getting 2 oz a time now when I was gettjng 4.
I just have a fast letdown 😅 Blessing and a curse though. Before Oliver was old enough to take a bottle we really struggled with feedings because the flow was way to fast for him 🤍
Awww you're using oat milk. ♥️
Watching while I pump. You have a great supply going!
