Your vlogs are the only ones i actually take time and watch every time you upload them-because they are so relatable and i think huge part of it is because they’re not super edited. Thank you for sharing your struggles and this way we know we’re not alone 🙂
Relax girl. You’re not doing anything wrong. This is what my doctor said to me when i was complaining that my LO doesn’t nap the whole 2 hours, sometimes more sometimes less etc. she said they’re babies not robots. They will have good days, bad days, super good days so just be patient and really whenever i see inconsistencies i remind myself of that
Your videos are the only ones I actually stop what I’m doing and watch the whole thing in one sitting. Also the raw and uncut vlogs are the best it makes it feel like we’re actually friends hanging out lol! 💕
Here in Portugal, toodlers eat what their parents eat, and when we eat (at the same table). It feels so strange to me that you're making Riley special food and that she eats at different moments... :) For example, any portuguese toodler will eat vegetable soup for lunch (like most adults do), and then a tiny bit of whatever adults would eat: fish, meat, rice, potatoes, or whatever... + tiny bit of fruit. Anyway, she's a cutie pie :) I have 2 boys, but I always hoped for a girl and yours looks like a little princess :) And your baby boy looks like a handsome little guy :) (no more grumpy old men over there) Congrats on them both!
Your videos helped me so much. I'm a new mom again! I have 3 babies, oldest will be 17 in April, middle will be 13 in April, & my little is 16 days old. It had been so long since I went through pregnancy, birth, & having a newborn. So much has changed! Just wanted you to know how much your videos helped me! I watched a bunch during my pregnancy, & now during early days with a newborn ♥️
As a daycare worker I can tell you our kids take naps until like 3 years old. Children younger than that def need it! Good luck! Hope that the move will calm her down and get her back on schedule....
I just wanted to thank you for being so real about being a mom of a newborn. I have a 1 month old here at home, and I find your videos to be my favorite as they are so normal and help me normalize my expectations of my baby girl and myself at this point in our life.
Yes PLEASE review the stroller!! I have baby number 2 due in July and have been debating between those exact two strollers but I just can’t stomach the price tag on the uppababy and the evenflo already comes with the infant seat! It just seems like the same for much less so excited to hear what you think.
I prefer an uncut version any day just to see a mom I can relate to. I love your videos/ vlogs. Doesn’t bother me at all. I’ll watch anything you put out!
I was also debating between the Vista and Evenflo, and I ultimately chose the Evenflo, too, because the price of the Vista is so absurd. I can replace it multiple times, and it would still be cheaper than the Vista! Also, I like the raw/less edited videos! 😊
I’ve been watching your videos since I was about 9 weeks pregnant with my first following your journey with Jackson! Your vlog videos have helped ease me into motherhood & know that things can go unplanned but always work out in the end🖤
Oh my goodness Jackson gooing and gahhing at you and smiling. I'm done 😍 and Riley with her letters, she's so smart! You inspire me so much, you are rocking this mum life.
Nothing wrong with an unedited ditl...I love them regardless..very relatable. Just breath and try not to worry too much about life once you are gone from your family💜 my son will be 5 in 2 weeks and hasn't napped since a bit before he turned 3. I gave up on naps completely and only had them on "BAD" days.. You got this! Xx
You are an amazing mama!! It’s amazing to me how you get everything done. You are an inspiration to me. I have a son due in 2 months and I’m worried about keeping up with housework, dogs, and the baby. You show me that I can do it!!💕
Oh and my son dropped his nap at 3 but it got rough hit or miss at the same time as Riley. A lot of days he wouldn’t nap. Sounds like she’s growing out of them. It was emotionally stressful for me bc I would leave him in his crib for quiet time but just felt guilty. And her story when you got her from nap time was hilarious!
Here to say that I’ve been bingeing all of your videos from when Jackson was a newborn because I am currently in the thick of it… 2 year old and 3 week old! Thanks for making me feel not so alone
Love how updated you keep us even though you have so much going on. You are such a great mama. My daughter would nap till she was a little over 2. But at the sisters house she napped till she was a little over 3. Once they decide they don’t want to nap any more it’s over. I would just let her stay in the crib and do what I need to, then take her out cause I felt bad to just hear her telling me “mommy get me out no sleepy 😆
Kayla girl, I don't have kids but I really appreciate these videos. Having to figure out where new issues fit in during the day/night happens in many scenarios. I'm seeing that. I will join you on the struggle bus!
I usually watch your vlogs on youtube connected to the TV but sometimes i go on my phone so i can comment. Riley is so talkative (i mean to say that in a good way), she’s so smart! I’m so proud of her and im not even her mom! Haha Jackson so handsome i visit your instagram to see them whenever I’m having a bad day. Kayla you’re amazing. Thank you for making things so raw and real 🙌🏻
I think you should get you mama to make a day with granny video for all us to be granny’s I love how real your videos are and look forward to your uploads plus Riley is just to cute 😇
Ive heard about this course called takingcarababies and you pay $74 for the course and its called “will I ever sleep again?” The course is online and there have been moms of newborns getting their babies to sleep through the night.
I know I am a little late posting but I just wanted to say you're not doing anything wrong momma!! Babies that age don't really sleep through the night unless you're lucky.. You guys will get a routine down eventually! I swear the sleep industry puts so much pressure on us mom's to have an infant sleep through the night just so you while buy alllll the gadgets! A solid sleep routine is what helped us and you can even do a maniture version of your routine for naps to help him as well! Hang in there 💓
Omg when you started talking about him pooping at the beginning of the vlog, those facial expressions he was making! 🤣 such a cute baby. Happy Monday! 🤗
Toddlers often go through now regressions. My son is 3 and 1/2 now and he went through it at around 2 and didn't want a nap but we forced him and stuck through it. Even now he still takes naps and if he ever misses one, he is a nightmare at dinner time so we force it :)
You should watch the Netflix docuseries Babies, they explain babies growthspurts and why they are so fuzzy and why they can’t sleep during their growth spurts, I think it will help you💕
I thought for sure my (now 4 year old) was dropping naps around 3. He napped maybe 50% of the time no matter how worn out he was. Now, he will nap 2-4 hours a day (we usually have to wake him up) and about 12 hours a night. He is growing and his mind is working harder now. So don't lose hope! She may just be going through a phase. Kids need more sleep than they will ever admit. My son still whines that he hates naps and bed time but passes out in 5 minutes or less lol
Great video mine stopped napping at 2 years old but we still do quiet time and when she’s really Tired she naps but she refuses completely it’s exiting your moving soon so exited for you guys I love Riley Mat tray so big to fit her food ❤️💕
I would try to push through the napping strike. It’s very rare to drop nap after just turning 2. I would keep up nap time routine and leave her in crib for quiet time for as long a you can. My 3.5 yo daughter still naps-went through a nap strike at 2 and at 3 for a few weeks each time. We kept up usual nap time routine and she went back to napping like usual. Good luck!
I really love watching your vlogs as soon as i can see. You are really doing a good job 👏🏻 I have almost the same routine with my 2.5 year old and a 2 months old 🤦🏻♀️ struggle is real my 2 months old sleeps thru the day now a days and wakes up in between for a feed and then go back to sleep and then i put my toddler for a nap in the afternoon 😄 so that i can get my time to finish up all my chores 💁🏻♀️
That's so funny because here in Germany most kids go to a kindergarten when they turn 1 (some maybe 2) year(s) old, and nap till they are 5/6 (and when they don't want to take a nap, they have to lay down on the mattress and be quiet to calm down and let the others sleep (and sometimes they will fall asleep, even if they don't "need" it usually) XD
I love how he’s just chillen While you talk😂 I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now and love them! I have a 4 yr old named Jackson and just found out I’m having a baby girl! Thanks for your content it’s real and I love it!
I have a 2 1/2 year old and he’s steadily napping, and will continue to nap until he’s probably 3 or 4. Developmentally, they need naps until that age. She should not be dropping naps yet, not even close. My son did go through a period of fighting naps though so don’t lose hope! It’ll get better!
Omg my baby girl is exactly the same with sleeping!! Every night is different, just when I think she’s getting better and doing 3/4 hour stretches, the next night I get an hour if I’m lucky!! And she’s 6 months.. the struggle is real 😂
I have twins and they stopped napping at 4 years old. And my oldest he still nap after school so around 6 years old. But I did let them cry it out and they learn to soothe themselves to sleep. So it came to the point that they took their blankets and put themselves to sleep.
Your amazing! Your doing nothing wrong, my baby was the same way she still kinda is shes 5 months but shes getting better its just who she is lol. It makes me feel better like i am not going insane because your going though similar things it will get better!
My son dropped naps for good at 2 years, 9 months. He was also hit or miss with the naps for a good 6 months prior to that. Oh man, was he a terror at first when he stopped napping. He is now 3 years, 5 months and is up from 7am to 7pm. Does really well with that schedule now.
We got the pivot Xpand as well and it’s already very wobbly/unstable (4 months) I would recommend the City Select version as it’s sturdier but I’m lusting after the Vista!
Everything you’re saying I’m agreeing to and nodding too it’s like I’m talking to my best friend I have a two month old and 2 year old so I could so relate to you in every aspect of the way!!!😅 it’s tough mama hang in there! Some days are better then others!
My sister has the Uppa Baby Vista with her three kids and she loved it because it's pretty adaptable for each stage of the babies life. It is quite pricey initially, which is a bit of a let down. I've never heard of the Evenflo stroller, so now I'm curious!!
We have the evenflo that turns into a double!!! Love it so far (only have one so far though..) one meh i have and it may just be ours.. is the car seat sticks alittle when i try to take it off the stroller.
I love your videos!! I’ve been watching since I was 10 weeks. I’m due in 2 weeks. You’re a real raw mama! Go girl !💙 Edit: my son is almost 3 and we take naps for like a hour now but he is starting to fight them lol
Raw vlogging is good too!!! Not your top priority at all! We just started the 12 week leap and going thru 3 month growth spurt (just and FYI). Babies change every day! We got this :)
Love your videos! You inspire the rest of us with how honest you are about motherhood. You are doing an awesome job with your kiddos. What video do you do the identifying of animals in her bin? Hammerhead shark? etc. i want to show my hubby how impressive she is! we are purchasing the toys you showed in Riley toys video for our baby boy (who is 2 weeks younger than Jackson btw!)
Riley is so cute, so is Jackson. Im sure when Jackson gets into a routine he'll be fine. Not all babies are good sleepers. My son never seemed to sleep, i was exhausted and when he could i couldn't, so bad.
the only thing I don't like about the vista is the rumble seat.only supports 35lbs if u got a bigger kid obviously the kid will need seat and usually the other baby will have it and u can't use the rumble up top so I just wish the Vista had a bigger weight capacity on the rumble
My kids still took naps until they were 4 going on 5. Once they started kindergarten is when they stopped napping for the most part. Even if she doesn’t sleep, I would leave her in her crib regardless, unless she’s screaming for a while, for a couple hours bc more than likely she’ll fall asleep. If you get in the habit of putting her down and going to get her after 20-30 min, you probably won’t get her to nap much at all anymore bc she then she’ll know that you’ll come and get her if she won’t sleep. My sisters daughter would do the same thing Riley is doing and she would let her out of her crib after 20 minutes if she was still awake and she stopped napping at 2 years old. She was a nightmare for the rest of the day too. Once they realize you’re not going to come and get them, more often than not they’ll fall asleep.
Try the new halo Halo bassinet! It rocks now ! And super affordable if your have the money ! The snooz might not work for your because it’s really low u would have to get out of bed more !
My boy was the same way he fought he’s nap for like a month he would take a nap around 1 so I just put him down around 2 and he would just cry for a few minutes but he got better . Good luck
My son is three and i am almost 37 weeks w a newborn and stressed about life with a newborn and toddler. My son fights his naps too but he will just lay in his bed and get up to check when he can play again lol
I'm a mom of 4, question how are you and other moms handling this coronavirus pandemic? Idk if I have postpartum anxiety because of this or if it's normal to be so afraid of this..
I love your video it show how difficult is to deal with two kids under two my baby is 3 month and my baby girl is 18 month i feel i go crazy some days 😂 and i really love your videos ❤️
Uppababy is so worth it ONLY IF you’re willing to spend the money. It’s honestly the best quality ive ever seen in a stroller, and it will definitely last a life time. I have the Evenflo Sibby (the single version of the pivot) for my parents house and they love it bc its simple and easy to use as a travel system, but i keep my Uppababy for myself. I love it a bit more because we dont have any carseats that work with the uppababy, and its nice to be able to put my lil guy in the toddler seat (you cant do that with 90% of regular strollers since they dont recline) without spending the extra $400 on a matching carseat. I only have the Cruz (since i dont plan on another for the next 5+ years) but i still think its so worth it.
I swear my son and Jackson should be best friends. Both spend half of their day trying to poop and wake up hourly at night despite our efforts to make them sleep 🙃
I love your vlogs I feel better watching them because I feel like I'm failing sometimes. I'm still trying to figure everything out and trying to get it all done. Sometimes I can't clean or do all my errands and its frustrating. Especially when Dad is saying if he stayed home. He'd have the house clean with breakfast, lunch, and dinner done everyday. 😠 I love how you keep it real. Thanks for sharing your life with us mommas.
My first child stopped naps at 2 years old and my second child stopped naps at 3 and my 3rd child is going to be 2 in july and only takes one nap currently.
Hi there, I also have a 2-month old boy - love of my life - but like Jackson, he doesnt sleep (and poop) well and wasnt a happy baby. I have no routine cos sometimes he naps for half an hour and dont sleep for 3-4 hours... So we are pretty much relatable and i keep watching your vlogs to see if you have any tips. I just bought the snoo recently but my baby hasnt adapted to it as effective as a newborn. It has been 2 weeks and he just starts to settle in snoo at nighttime (daytime is still a disaster). So if you decide to rent the snoo, do it as early as you can :)
My daughter stopped naps around 1 i had converted her bed into toddler bed after tht naps barely ever happen only once in a while unless we having a car ride we also have 2 much light coming in the room because we have a skylight
I have the single evenflo stroller that came with the infant seat and bassinet and loved it. Now debating whether I should get the double stroller evenflo too for baby 2 due in July!! Tell us how you like it please.
I know you talk about how he has some pooping problems. My son is 2 months old and I had the same problems with him. So I had to put him on enfamil Reguline. It was my last hope and it really works great with his poop it’s not hard and it’s not painful when he passes it. 😊 p.s. I love your videos your such a good mom!!!

We don’t care about the editing, we just enjoy them it is nice that Jackson is settling a little, keep going this time will pass🤣😂😂😂
Relax girl. You’re not doing anything wrong. This is what my doctor said to me when i was complaining that my LO doesn’t nap the whole 2 hours, sometimes more sometimes less etc. she said they’re babies not robots. They will have good days, bad days, super good days so just be patient and really whenever i see inconsistencies i remind myself of that

Yay love new content to start my week off. Hope everyone has a fab week ❤️
GG Girl yay!!! Thank you so much for watching!! Hope you have a great week too! ❤️
I love how real you are about everything. You’re a strong mama ❤️

And your baby boy looks like a handsome little guy :) (no more grumpy old men over there)
Congrats on them both!
celia same here!! In our culture kids eat whatever we eAt its just the market availability and consumerism honestly.
Your videos helped me so much. I'm a new mom again! I have 3 babies, oldest will be 17 in April, middle will be 13 in April, & my little is 16 days old. It had been so long since I went through pregnancy, birth, & having a newborn. So much has changed! Just wanted you to know how much your videos helped me!

I'm in the same boat. I have a 20yr old son,15yr old daughter, and 9week old baby boy. It's been a little rough lol.
As a daycare worker I can tell you our kids take naps until like 3 years old. Children younger than that def need it! Good luck! Hope that the move will calm her down and get her back on schedule....

I love day in the life’s they are my favourite to watch and film. It’s so nice to have the memories to look back on. Lots of love xxxx
Laura Cullen thanks Laura! Yea I definitely watch these back and love to see what the kiddos were up to!
Kayla Buell it really is lovely, your little ones are so sweet! 🥰💕 Xxx

You’re such a great mom! Love starting off my week drinking a cup of coffee and watching your videos 💖
You can also do quiet time in her room for nap time fo she doesnt want to sleep. She can stay in her room and play until nap time is over.
So happy when your blog comes up in my feed! Love Riley’s tent!
I have a 3 week old and we get excited when he poops. Haha Motherhood changes you!
Yes, I’d love to see a review of the double stroller! I’m looking for one myself and could use the help.
Oh my goodness Jackson gooing and gahhing at you and smiling. I'm done 😍 and Riley with her letters, she's so smart! You inspire me so much, you are rocking this mum life.

I think you should get you mama to make a day with granny video for all us to be granny’s I love how real your videos are and look forward to your uploads plus Riley is just to cute 😇
I actually love this kind of videos better than the cut and prepared to the T bc it’s more real.

I have the evenflo stroller and carseat and i love them! they're so easy to use and the stroller is really easy to maneuver!
Toddlers often go through now regressions. My son is 3 and 1/2 now and he went through it at around 2 and didn't want a nap but we forced him and stuck through it. Even now he still takes naps and if he ever misses one, he is a nightmare at dinner time so we force it :)

Wow Riley is so incredibly smart! 😊
She’s so good at letters!
Omg Riley is adorable and soo smart.
I remember my oldest son still napped at 4yo but can't remember the other two kids.🇨🇦
I have twins and they stopped napping at 4 years old. And my oldest he still nap after school so around 6 years old. But I did let them cry it out and they learn to soothe themselves to sleep. So it came to the point that they took their blankets and put themselves to sleep.

Maybe try to put a story on for Riley during nap time. They have them on Spotify!
I recently started watching ur videos n i love them. Love the way u talk n u r so nice. Lots of love for u n ur entire family ❤️❤️❤️
Everything you’re saying I’m agreeing to and nodding too it’s like I’m talking to my best friend I have a two month old and 2 year old so I could so relate to you in every aspect of the way!!!😅 it’s tough mama hang in there! Some days are better then others!
My sister has the Uppa Baby Vista with her three kids and she loved it because it's pretty adaptable for each stage of the babies life. It is quite pricey initially, which is a bit of a let down. I've never heard of the Evenflo stroller, so now I'm curious!!
We have the evenflo that turns into a double!!! Love it so far (only have one so far though..) one meh i have and it may just be ours.. is the car seat sticks alittle when i try to take it off the stroller.
I love your videos!! I’ve been watching since I was 10 weeks. I’m due in 2 weeks. You’re a real raw mama! Go girl !💙
Edit: my son is almost 3 and we take naps for like a hour now but he is starting to fight them lol
Riley has the most beautiful hair 😍😍
Raw vlogging is good too!!! Not your top priority at all! We just started the 12 week leap and going thru 3 month growth spurt (just and FYI). Babies change every day! We got this :)
Riley is so smart!
Try the Frida Baby Windi gas passer. When my littles dont poop, i use that and hold it in for few mins until they do.
I love the raw videos!!
Love your videos! You inspire the rest of us with how honest you are about motherhood. You are doing an awesome job with your kiddos. What video do you do the identifying of animals in her bin? Hammerhead shark? etc. i want to show my hubby how impressive she is! we are purchasing the toys you showed in Riley toys video for our baby boy (who is 2 weeks younger than Jackson btw!)
Riley is so cute, so is Jackson. Im sure when Jackson gets into a routine he'll be fine. Not all babies are good sleepers. My son never seemed to sleep, i was exhausted and when he could i couldn't, so bad.
I love your vlogs so much!! I can relate so so much! I have a one year old and expecting my second baby.
I was just watching your baby registry must haves. Congrats mama
Can u do a video on educational activities for toddlers? Including which games Riley uses on her tablet? Would love suggestions
the only thing I don't like about the vista is the rumble seat.only supports 35lbs if u got a bigger kid obviously the kid will need seat and usually the other baby will have it and u can't use the rumble up top so I just wish the Vista had a bigger weight capacity on the rumble
Pooping is no joke! Love how real you are!! Can't wait to see you guys settling in your new home!
Maybe you can tell Riley her toys need a nap, and have her put them down in their boxes?
You doing a great job momma😊🙌
My kids still took naps until they were 4 going on 5. Once they started kindergarten is when they stopped napping for the most part. Even if she doesn’t sleep, I would leave her in her crib regardless, unless she’s screaming for a while, for a couple hours bc more than likely she’ll fall asleep. If you get in the habit of putting her down and going to get her after 20-30 min, you probably won’t get her to nap much at all anymore bc she then she’ll know that you’ll come and get her if she won’t sleep. My sisters daughter would do the same thing Riley is doing and she would let her out of her crib after 20 minutes if she was still awake and she stopped napping at 2 years old. She was a nightmare for the rest of the day too. Once they realize you’re not going to come and get them, more often than not they’ll fall asleep.
I have the evenflo for my 3 boys and I love it!
Try the new halo Halo bassinet! It rocks now ! And super affordable if your have the money ! The snooz might not work for your because it’s really low u would have to get out of bed more !
Just gotta love Riley! 💜 Tantrums and all, just love her 💜😘💕
My boy was the same way he fought he’s nap for like a month he would take a nap around 1 so I just put him down around 2 and he would just cry for a few minutes but he got better . Good luck
My son is three and i am almost 37 weeks w a newborn and stressed about life with a newborn and toddler. My son fights his naps too but he will just lay in his bed and get up to check when he can play again lol
I'm a mom of 4, question how are you and other moms handling this coronavirus pandemic? Idk if I have postpartum anxiety because of this or if it's normal to be so afraid of this..
I love your video it show how difficult is to deal with two kids under two my baby is 3 month and my baby girl is 18 month i feel i go crazy some days 😂 and i really love your videos ❤️
Uppababy is so worth it ONLY IF you’re willing to spend the money. It’s honestly the best quality ive ever seen in a stroller, and it will definitely last a life time. I have the Evenflo Sibby (the single version of the pivot) for my parents house and they love it bc its simple and easy to use as a travel system, but i keep my Uppababy for myself. I love it a bit more because we dont have any carseats that work with the uppababy, and its nice to be able to put my lil guy in the toddler seat (you cant do that with 90% of regular strollers since they dont recline) without spending the extra $400 on a matching carseat. I only have the Cruz (since i dont plan on another for the next 5+ years) but i still think its so worth it.
I swear my son and Jackson should be best friends. Both spend half of their day trying to poop and wake up hourly at night despite our efforts to make them sleep 🙃
I love your vlogs I feel better watching them because I feel like I'm failing sometimes. I'm still trying to figure everything out and trying to get it all done. Sometimes I can't clean or do all my errands and its frustrating. Especially when Dad is saying if he stayed home. He'd have the house clean with breakfast, lunch, and dinner done everyday. 😠 I love how you keep it real. Thanks for sharing your life with us mommas.
My first child stopped naps at 2 years old and my second child stopped naps at 3 and my 3rd child is going to be 2 in july and only takes one nap currently.
Hi there, I also have a 2-month old boy - love of my life - but like Jackson, he doesnt sleep (and poop) well and wasnt a happy baby. I have no routine cos sometimes he naps for half an hour and dont sleep for 3-4 hours... So we are pretty much relatable and i keep watching your vlogs to see if you have any tips. I just bought the snoo recently but my baby hasnt adapted to it as effective as a newborn. It has been 2 weeks and he just starts to settle in snoo at nighttime (daytime is still a disaster). So if you decide to rent the snoo, do it as early as you can :)
My daughter stopped naps around 1 i had converted her bed into toddler bed after tht naps barely ever happen only once in a while unless we having a car ride we also have 2 much light coming in the room because we have a skylight
I have the single evenflo stroller that came with the infant seat and bassinet and loved it. Now debating whether I should get the double stroller evenflo too for baby 2 due in July!! Tell us how you like it please.
Let us know how the Evenflo is! Trying to decide myself but this mama on a budget 😬
I know you talk about how he has some pooping problems. My son is 2 months old and I had the same problems with him. So I had to put him on enfamil Reguline. It was my last hope and it really works great with his poop it’s not hard and it’s not painful when he passes it. 😊 p.s. I love your videos your such a good mom!!!
Love this!!!!
I love this! You are doing a great job. And no worries. Every mom with a little had all conversations revolve around poop lol
