      auralite moon it takes a lot of strength to go through pregnancy, childbirth and becoming a new parent without having your own mother to confide and talk to. Good luck on your journey, I’m sure you’re a wonderful mother and she’ll be looking down on you with pride. ❤️

      auralite moon I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad two months before I got pregnant too, and this too after trying for 14 years. I feel like it’s my Dad’s prayers that are bringing this sweet angel into my arms after so long, and I think your Mom will live though you and this gift of your incoming angel. Lots of well wishes for you and your baby and my condolences for your Mom

    I LOVE that you say “that’s ok” for most things that moms usually stress about or get scared... it’s a whole new world for mom and baby, specially at the beginning when both are trying to figure out things, but it gets better and moms should know that it’s TOTALLY normal to mess up and to make mistakes and to cry when you feel overwhelmed... and also to hand the baby to someone else if you need to catch your breath. ❣️🙌🏻

    • @Latinhoodie
      @Latinhoodie 5 лет назад +11

      Yes! This is so accurate. I’m a first time mom, my baby is one month old and it was tough the first week home from the hospital...it will get better y’all...I’ve felt every emotion you can think of and the ultimate result is feeling more confident in what you’re doing and feeling more at ease. Always ask your pediatrician if you have ANY questions, that’s what they’re there for. Every friend or relative will give you their two cents so be ready for that...just take their advice and go on with your day, no need to debate or be rude with them and their opinions. Everything will feel overwhelming, but remember to breathe...walk away if you need to and if you have a support person either your significant other or a friend/relative have them take over for a while. It’ll help, trust!

    One important thing to note is that if you're getting things like carseats, swings, cribs, etc. secondhand to see if it's been recalled or not. Especially since carseats actually have an expiration date. Cute baby, by the way 🙂

    • @ashleyramirez6886
      @ashleyramirez6886 5 лет назад +15

      Also if it’s been in any accident. At least when my sister in law got in a car accident her insurance had to reimburse them for a new car seat cause it’s considered “damaged”.

    • @cleansocks
      @cleansocks 4 года назад +4

      I was going to say the same thing. Used car seats are pretty strongly discouraged because A) unless it belonged to your best friend or sibling, you can't know if it was in any car accidents, and if it was, then it may have structural damage and is considered unsafe. B) SO MANY baby products get recalled, so it's important to double check on this, and C) Car seats DO expire--typically they're considered expired 5-6 years from the manufacturing date, because safety technology advances so quickly.

      ramrodnj um....?! don’t tell people to “get off the pill”. it’s her choice, and it’s keeping her from getting pregnant. birth control pills are very safe. i mean sure, using the combination pill can slightly increase health problems but they are VERY rare. i’ve been on it for two years and all it has done has made my periods longer, but they were oddly short before. don’t go spreading this stuff

    15:55 I have never heard of anyone using breast milk as a healing agent before, but it actually does make sense scientifically. Breast milk carries the mother's antibodies (etc.) to help build the baby's immune system. :)

    The number of times you said “I’m not very good at this…” made me feel so sad because you are doing just perfectly amazing! Your baby looks so, so loved and happy and I hope you know you’ve helped a lot of women (and men, I’m sure) who haven’t had role models or any experience feel better about raising a tiny human.
    Your video is so sweet and authentic and you ARE very good at being a mother and doing absolutely everything your baby needs! 🥺🤍

    Wife is due in May. I'm watching this and alternating between genuine excitement and abject terror. I really wish there was a better way to get ready. (Not just a few hours at a parenting class, but like a whole semester's worth of studying and practicing.)
    It feels like I'm going in mostly blind to (arguably) one of the most important jobs in my life...

      My husband did all those things because I had unexpected emergency caesarean and septic shock. I was in emergency room unable to function and in pain, having morphine hallucinations for more than week during which I remember seeing kid only twice. Then slow recovery. Having supportive husband who knows how to do baby things is really helpful. He also get paid 3 months parental leave.

There is only so much you can do when it's covid and your nursery room stuff is coming in the mail. I'm due beginning July 2021 . I've been looking into child lock for later, hospital details, covid regulations, 24hour newborn vlogs and yours by far is the best I've seen for advice. It feels like your talking to me lol and I've had questions about where to put baby when I need to use the bathroom, take a shower etc. My mind has moved to making room in our kitchen for baby food and bowls and bottles when that time comes. Luckily I've been blessed with people around me whom I get plenty of advice from but I love your video.
