Riley waiting for her food & talking is so adorable!
Absolutely loving the vlogs, and so thankful you are so real, raw and relatable! I am literally just starting my journey to trying for a baby! So watching your vlogs really excites me for whats to come, even through the poop explosions and more lol! You are one amazing mamma, and cannot wait to see the baptism vlog too! xx
I love watching you! I’m due in April and I’m super super scared and nervous. I love how real your videos are. Watching your videos has helped me a bit lol and RILEY IS THE CUTEST THING!!! I hope Jackson gets better
It sounded like Riley said. "in the sea" when she threw Sebastian in the cup LoL so cute.
My baby turned 2 months today Feb 10! Also, they are the exact baby to a T. Same exact problems and hurdles to figure out. I just recently went back to nursing and only giving a formula bottle at night. It so comforting watching your videos knowing I'm not alone.
haha riley saying cheese in front of the camera is sooooo cuteeeee☺️☺️🥰😂
Riley's little voice.
I really love your videos, I recently found your channel I’m a first time mom of a 1 month old baby boy. Iam currently going through a similar situation with my baby who is very fussy due to reflux. He has to be held to sleep at all times, it’s difficult at times but your videos have helped me a lot ❤️
Feeding him will actually help him poop. It’s called a gastrocolic reflex which is very active in infants. It causes them to have a bowel movement during or immediately after feeding.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful insight into your world, you are doing great. Your family is so precious ❤️
Riley is such a bright little bean!! I adore her personality 😭💕 and of course baby Jackson is giving me the biggest baby fever although I have a wild little 8-month-old boy currently taking over my life, haha. Love love your vlogs as always! Now I’m contemplating more screen time for my baby so he can learn just like Riley. 😂
Your children are beautiful! You made me remember when I wasn't getting any sleep at night because of breastfeeding and pumping, I survived on 2 hours of sleep during the day when someone could watch my son.
I just love Riley’s little personality.
Your family is so precious! Jackson is one week older than my son & I love watching him grow! ❤️ you’re doing great mama!
Thanks for keeping it so real. I watch all of your videos. I’m having my first baby this June.
They are both just the cutest kids ever.
Both your little dude and little dude the are so lucky to have you for their mom. And we are so lucky to be able to watch your adorable babies being lucky to have you for a mom. If that makes sense.
Watching you be so productive while the baby napped in the wrap was amazing! You go mama!
My baby had the same thing with her belly button it went down by 1 or so. My doc said the same thing, it’s so common. When I first saw it I felt like I did something wrong. I’m happy that you’re letting other moms know cuz it can get big and freak out a first timer.
I feel your pain! My son was exactly like this. Some days were better than others...but then he just all of the sudden learned to poop and the grunting stopped. I believe it was around 10 weeks old he became so much happier and I became more sane. I hope things improve for you soon too! You’re doing an amazing job. Thanks for being so real.
If he's grunting for more than 5 or 10 minutes, feed him! It totally helps. My baby is going through all the same stuff 2 months ahead. At 2 months she couldn't poop for like 2 days. I realized she was going through a growth spurt and needed more milk... Like way more than I thought. Now every time she gets fussy about pooping I feed her and it totally fixed the all day grunting. She still has reflux and will sometimes spitup while trying to poop, but having more in her tummy helps so much. Also helps her sleep way better.
Your little family is so sweet 💕. You’re doing such a great job,lots of love 😚
Xxxx
Watching your videos really helps my stress levels and calms me down for some reason, I love them. I’m 35 weeks but being induced in 2 weeks because of preeclampsia, I’m so nervous. First baby, a sweet little boy! 💙
They are so sweet! It is hard to balance schedules with two little ones who are always changing. You're doing great!
What I do with my babies sleepers is take a lint roller to the inside of the feet after I wash them! Or if I remember I just wash them inside out and there’s usually no lint!
New to your channel. Riley is by far the most intelligent 2 year old I have ever seen!
I love how you mentioned that you let riley watch lots of tv yet shes still learning as well. I know tv is talked down on alot but there are educational shows out there for the little ones to watch.
Hey Kayla, just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and allowing us to follow your journey.. You are doing an amazing job as a mum! My wee boy is 6months old and he had all the same problems with reflux, being sick and constantly constipated! It was awful.. so i spoke to my health visitor and asked her what i could give him to help him go to the toliet. She said if he hasnt went in a 24 hr period and you can tell he is uncomfortable trying to push. She told me to put cold boil water in a bottle and two wee small drops of pure orange juice or prune juice in the cold boil water and give him 1 or 2 ounces of it and just allow his stomach to settle with it and it will help him and for my wee boy it differently did!
In the end i found out that he was lactose intolerant so i had to chance his milk to the prescription one similac alimentum milk and it has done him wonders.. he still has a slight touch of reflux but nothing to crazy! As before i had him on gripe water, infacol, gaviscon infant sachets and nothing was helping him
(Btw im from northern ireland belfast) so there are probably different techniques over here than to america)
Anyway i hope this helps and i hope you and your beautiful family keep well :) i love all your videos! Its thanks to you sharing rileys sleep training video i know get actual time to myself and sleep!
So thank you!
Riley and Jackson are so sweet! Happy 2 months, little man ❤ So happy things are starting to improve slowly, yay 😁
Hi Kayla, I totally remember having exactly the same situation with my two boys when they were little. I know how much difficult it can be. Happy if Jackson feels better!
You guys are seriously my fave family and idk how you don’t have a million subscribers you upload so much I love y’all 😂💗💗💗
What always worked with my little one was she would fall asleep in her swing and she would sleep through the night so the swing was my best friend up until 6 months and when she couldn’t poop some water with honey always did the trick just an oz
I feel like I am constantly picking lint out of my girls toes! So happy Jackson is looking so much happier:)
Also your advice on your nail trimmer, I got one today and it's an actual life saver! I could finally deal with my girls nails easily and quickly. So thank you.
Jackson looks so much like his dad and Riley looks like you
My three month old has an umbilical hernia.....completely freaked us out at first!!
Enjoy life today because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is never promised.
Have a great week Kayla!! ❤️ You’re killing this momma of two thing!
So happy he is doing better! The newborn phase is one of the hardest IMO but things change quickly too 💜 I got my 12/22 little one on reflux meds now and she’s been doing much better as well.
Love watching your gorgeous family. Despite all the lack of sleep your doing great. I'll continue to watch and wait for my first little one due in May 😊
I’m so invested in your vlogs I hate when they end lol
So excited for this video! I've been binge watching your videos! Your a great mama!!🥰🥰
I love 💕 these vlogs.
Riley and Jackson are soooo adorable.
You did a great job! Thank you for these videos!!
Did you try with the baby massage? I did that multiple times a day with my son, it helped him oftentimes. Always have to do circular motion to clock direction around his belly button and push it downward with finger on the right side from the belly button (his left your right) and then there is several motions with feet (stretch and push, do round motions, place your arm under is bottom and lightly lift it, then make round morions with his legs (clock direction) - sorry for my english, but i hope maybe any of these advices helps you
Hi kayla u r amazing mum and u have got the most beautiful kidsx
Happy Monday everyone, hope you have a nice week :)
First off Riley is adorable with her face all in the camera. My son has the same hernia. Nd it kinda terrifies me when it’s really pushed out, especially when he’s crying hysterically. Doctors told me the same thing, that it’ll go away on it’s own. But because he’s having surgery when he turns six’s months, they gave me the option to have it removed then too.
I also have a 2 year old born in December and a 5 week old so I can totallyyyy relate to you , everything your saying I’m nodding too like a bobble head! The milestones your 2 year old is making, the sleepless nights the struggles and joys. I love your Chanel I’m so glad I came across it 😻
Also, the struggle is real to pump with a newborn! I am an exclusive pumper since my little guy was not a good nurser and my husband works all day, so trying to get the baby down long enough to go pump sometimes is an issue. I think I am gonna order a single Elvie to try out after seeing your videos because it is hard to go and use my Spectra plugged into a wall some days
Kayla keep going your keeping it real and being the best you and your family can be cheers from Bunbury western Australia x x
Your little boy is so cute I think he’s one years old having two siblings are so good I know that for fact your boy is so cute oh my God
Who’s your first baby and feeding milk
When my boy was struggling with his poops the doctor recommended some Movicol which we just added to his bottle and it worked so well to just ease his poop and get it out. It’s so hard to see them struggling and feeling helpless 😣 it does get better though, hope you get some sleep soon! ❤️
Have you tried the Frida Windi? It helps them pass gas and frequently makes them poop.
We’re having our second baby girl in 9 weeks (our first is 19 mos now) and about 90% of our baby stuff we are reusing from our first to save money, and we already have 2 baby carriers, a baby bjorn and one of those looooong stretchy wrap carriers..... and I didn’t know this baby k’tan existed and that I needed it until I saw this video! I hate using the long stretch wraps because of all the extra fabric, but the k’tan looks like the 2.0 version and sooo easy to use!!! Maybe I’ll have to splurge lol.
My baby will insist on drinking her bottle while she’s pushing. She will cry if I take her bottle away...One time she pushed while she was swallowing and milk came out of her nose and mouth! I freaked out!!! Lol
Love the vlogs!! Please keep making them!
My daughter had an umbilical hernia. Both her pediatrician and a specialist agreed to wait until she was five before any surgery. It went away when she was four. You never would know she had it.
Happy 2 months old ❤️
I love watching your videos! The things Jackson is going through remind me so much of my baby 😭 Turns out mine is only two days older than yours 🥰
I had an umbilical hernia. I had to have surgery for it but as far as I know it wasn’t too invasive and my belly button has been unique ever since.
You're doing great momma. Our baby (Also named Jackson) is due in a few weeks! Just keep breathing!
You're doing so great mama!
So my aunts pediatrician told my aunt since her baby has times where she won’t poop for days to hold him upright when he strains to help that whole system since his muscles are super strong.
Giiiiirl, you don’t need a new boppy if he poops on it!! Wash on cold and dry on low with a tennis ball to keep its shape!!! (Cover is GREAT tho)
I had the same swing that you do and when my son was having issues pooping I would put him in it and turn on the vibration and he would poop. Worked every time. It sucks when babies can’t poop.
When my daughter was little I put a little of karo syrup in her bottle when she couldn't poop and it helped a lot. She did have blow outs but she was so happy and calm. I also put her stomach down on my lap and rubbed her back and she passed gas that way also. I hope this helps
I had the same poop issues with my baby, so what i did is that i put a pinch of fennel seeds and carom seeds in some water and boil it and give him one spoon and see how he does. I did it and my baby had 3 poops. Also you can give him a little in a syringe first
My little guy poops while eating most of the time! It is rare he poops other times 😆 also, I am constantly cleaning lint out of his fingers and toes at bath time. It has to be from the blankets and clothes and all of the clutching they do.
While your baby is laying on her back, gently rub her tummy in a clockwise motion and then pull your hands down the curve of the belly. Massaging in a clockwise direction helps to move gas along as that is the route the intestinal tract follows. Repeat several times to help move trapped gas.♥️❤
Currently baby wearing while making dinner & watching this😂❤️ And so much yes to the linty toes hahah she gets it in her hands too! I’m constantly wiping both with wet wipes
Lol poop cycles are even important for pet parents. My dog has a sensitive stomach and has been sick from different things on several occasions that caused her to have poop problems and we always get excited when she finally goes after being constipated for days lol.
Riley is adorable! I am inlove with her!
You're so brave changing his nappy in a white jumper! 😅
So happy he is doing better! Love Riley’s hair! Do you use anything special for her hair? My 15 month old is balding on the side with very thin hair.
i rilly want this baby carrier😔but its so expensive including the shipping fee to turkey😔there is no way i can afford it😔
Shipping fees + taxes here to portugal are super expensive too. Sometimes things cost just $10, but then the tax is +$6, and tge shipping cost +$15, which means that a cheap object ends up costing 3 times as much...
He's the cutest😍
Hey! I just had my little Jeremiah last month 01/07/2020💙👣
I was wondering if you could do like a baby boy amazon haul with like clothes, shoes, hats and toys he likes that would be awesome!
Definitely had all the same tummy issues with my son and I never thought before I became a parent that I would get excited for someone to poop.
When my little boy was very young he had bad reflux and even walking around bouncing him didn't work. I resorted to holding him while bouncing on an exercise ball and it worked miracles. He would fall asleep in minutes. Still works for him and hes now 6m
Omg I can’t stand how cute she is !!!!!
I remember seeing you bought the windi. Have you tried it yet? If yes, has it helped? I saw Jessica Ballinger said it had helped her babies poop!
I'm sorry, but I found it hilarious when you said only a mom would understand when waiting for a poop. I went to T-Mobile and one of the sales lady was oohing over my daughter. My daughter let out the nastiest fart/poop ever. The lady that was oohing over her celebrated when she pooped. The other sales people thought it was disgusting. One of the sales people asked why are you celebrating? This is disgusting.
My daughter always has lint in between her toes. Im always diligent about checking her toes. One time she had my hair wrapped around her toe. It started to cut off her circulation. Oops.
Get a hazelwood amber necklace it was a god send for my son!!
My baby is 12 weeks and she literally always has lint in her hand and feet creases. 😂 He’s so cute!
Have you tried the Windi? It might at least help with gas
I seen a Dr Paul Thomas video about the umbilical cord. He has really good videos about babies.
Jackson & Riley are precious....
It’s so funny because I wait for my baby’s poop too and I get so happy when he finally doesn’t it. Even my older children have a celebration. So I feel you girl. My baby also has reflux ☹️ I’m so glad Jackson is doing better.
i love the girl Because she’s so cute and adorable and I think she’s four years old I love us so much see you later
Love Riley soooo much!
Riley is adorable ❤️
My daughter was born a week before Jackson and she has the same umbilical hernia!
My daughter is going to be two months on the 20th! I was wondering why her belly button was sticking out like that! Nice to know it's okay and nothing bad. I'm really glad Jackson is doing better!
Riley is so cute that she always wants to kiss her brother. I hope my other future kids want to love on each other like that!
Omg, he already outgrew clothes already🥰. Can u say how many times u had to change his clothes & diaper per day. Also, is he still using newborn diaper. Am first time mom 🥰
The Burp Cloths I ordered at the Amazon DEFONO store are breathable, soft and comfortable. I always buy a few burp cloths for the diaper bag, but mostly we use cloth pre-fold diapers and receiving blankets.
Doing good mama❤️
My daughter is just like Riley(she is 26 months) ! She talks and talks and talks. Love that she always wants to give home kisses. My daughter is still alittle hesitant with my six month old
Love your Channel
So cute！！！love it！
A great trip for gas and upset stomach is dissolving some dessert mints in warm water until they dissolve and then have him drink it. It works wonders!!!!
My baby girl was born on December as well, I pick lint from in between her toes everyday as well
Praise God. Cutie pie is asleep in his swing. Has his doctor addressed the terrible difficulty for him to pass gas and especially poops? At what age can he begin with a tiny bit of prune in his bottle or do they have a medication to give him to help? It is so sad to have so much pain just to perform a normal function of life. It may be that he is always a bit on the constipated side, but when he gets older he can have a bit of prune in the morning and that will fix him up for the day. Right now I believe he's too young for the fruit. Find out. Poor baby. Oh yes, no one should awaken him once he's asleep. Kayla, you look fine. Tired, but fine. You are speaking in complete sentences. The fact that you can do that presently is a minor miracle of its own. It sounds like the formula is working. Don't mess with a winning formula. Go with it. Generally, colicky babies are that way for approximately two months. All babies are different. It could be that he is outgrowing it a bit. But you will have to get his bowel situation resolved, so that he does not continue in pain and develop bad habits based on his own fear of elimination pains. He is so beautiful. It must be the joy of your day to see him smile with you while awake or to see him sleep like a peaceful angel, not writhing and grunting from his belly miseries. Just make good notes for the doctor so that you do not miss anything important to tell him or so you do not exaggerate something out of your own exhaustion. Just remind Riley that no one awakens her when she needs her sleep, so Jackson has to have his sleep once it comes. He is on the boppy next to you now and his concentration and wiggling trying to get a poop out is at a normal level. What he went through before was not. Some babies do not poop more than once a day. But, again, it is the writing in pain and extreme discomfort and effort that were accompanying gas and poop eliminations that are the problem. All babies have a "poop face" when they are so focused on pushing it out, especially if they are lying down and not being aided by gravity, as they would be if they were upright. Put Riley's PJs on backward and it will be much harder for her to get them off, if at all. If Jackson's pooping that much all at once, he probably needs to be pooping more than once a day and just cannot get it out readily until it's a volcanic eruption. But, I understand how grateful you are, even for a blow-out at this point. It is true that umbilical hernias are pretty common. I wonder if it is causing any of his pain in that region. It makes sense that it would become enhanced by all the pushing through his bowels. His is so calm after the blow-out by comparison with what he has been, even though he still has some gas to get out. While you are pumping he is clearly hungry and uncomfortable in the swing again. You are literally flying by the seat of his pants. You are improvising all the time. Of course you have anxiety. Riley is old enough to play you for her own purposes; he is not. You have a problem to resolve here and it seems you are on the road, which will stand you in good stead when you head to the D.C. area. Toe lint is common due to all the movement they do with their feet covered. Oh sweetie, what a joy to see you be able to play with him a little bit in the boppy after he ate. Oh, and he's sleeping in the swing again. What a blessing that is!
