Thank you so much! I’m 12, so obviously no where near being a mom, but my mom is expecting and I want to be as prepared as possible to help :D
You're going to be the best big sibling! My sister was 12 when I was born, and I felt like she was a second mum to me!
@@KateLate____ unfortunately my little sibling’s heart didn’t develop correctly (likely because my mom is in her mid 30s and my family has a history of issues with childbirth) but she and my stepdad are planning on adopting soon so I’m still researching so that I do everything right
@@BeanKally oh I'm so sorry, your poor family.
You're going to be the best big sister ever ❤
@@BeanKallyi’m so so sorry. it’s very possible to get pregnant at an older age i hope she doesn’t feel discouraged now:( i’m an only child, my mom had me at 39, labor was 30 hours and i was born breeched a few weeks early but i was perfectly healthy with no issues to me her, good luck to ur family u guys are so incredibly strong❤
I really appreciate the fact that even an obgyn is nervous and can feel overwhelmed preparing for a baby. It reassures me that I’m going to be just fine 🥰
I had six boys. They're now 26 to 15, including a set of twins. You'll get it and go with what baby tells you. I nursed mine all the time for at least a year, but it was easy for me. You can never love a baby too much. Trust your instincts and medical knowledge in your cases. Don't overthink it. Each baby is who they are and will need different things. Enjoy their tinyness; it goes by way too fast.
SIX BOYS! You must legit be superwoman! Teach me everything lol. We are working so hard to enjoy her tinyness and it is wonderful.
Having trouble with back sleeping with a 1 month old, and no sleep for mommy because I am constantly up watching her out of fear of her choking. Any advice?
Why are watch this video?
Thank you
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman ko lang
I have never ever heard anyone suggest just putting the baby down and letting them cry for 5 minutes while you recoup. That is the best advice on the planet, I'm so happy this was mentioned. I think sometimes people just need a second, just in that moment, to relax and breath and get themselves together before they lose it. Thank you so much for this suggestion. I think it will be a life saver for me when I decide to start my family. Sometimes you just need to breathe and being told it's ok to just set them down for a minute in a safe place while you just collect yourself is such a simple thing that definitely needs to be said.
This is my advice for my friends as they consider having children. If you’re noticing you’re losing control of your own emotions, if you’re feeling extremely frustrated and just need a moment, put the baby down in a safe place like their crib, and walk away for a moment. Breathe and calm down, take a few sips of your maybe lukewarm coffee and come back. Baby will be okay and you’re taking note of your own emotional state in order to keep you both healthy. It has to be talked about more!
There was a more toxic version on this tip circulating not that long ago. With the belief that attending to babies spoil them so you need to ignore them entirely.
If you do it to long kids get reactive attachment disorders
@@whoknows322 Well yeah, you’re just meant to put them down to collect yourself so you don’t get so frustrated that you end up doing something you can’t take back, either to yourself or the baby. If you find you’re setting them down more often than holding them and things are too overwhelming most of the time, it definitely could be postpartum depression or it could just be exhaustion and you need a real break. My family has just begun, we haven’t hit the 2 week purple crying phase yet, I don’t imagine I’ll have to use this, but I certainly will if necessary. I have help right now, but my husband has to go back to work sometime.
One of my friends told me that there’s no shame in wearing earplugs. So I wear them! Even to bed. They’re not good enough to cover baby’s cries, but they cover the little coos and make the cries not as awful to hear. Anything that allows you to safely and properly care for your child while maintaining sanity is a win!
I love how he continues to look at his wife whom is going through pregnancy, while explaining what to expect after pregnancy ❤❤
I’m 36 weeks pregnant and realizing how much i don’t know about taking care of babies. So, i’ve been reading and watching so much about the first year of a baby’s life. Thanks for this.
Just in case anyone is worried about this: your doctor will not take away your baby if you tell them you might have post partum depression. You calling and asking for help is a sign you are a *good* mother, because taking care of mom = taking care of baby. Your doctors won't judge you, they will be happy they can help you.
And if they do judge you, get another doctor. 😉
but why takes chances though? in western nordic European countries they do though, ANY sign of anything... the baby is gone!!
@@marceldeac1876
That's not true.
There would have to be something severely going wrong for the state to get involved and take away your baby. And if they do, they're probably giving it back to you as soon as possible.
@@saschamayer4050 yes but base on my experience from last week- just delivered ( this is my husbands account) at Jamaica hospital , in shitty NYC after refusing stupid Vitamin K shot we were threatened that the baby will not be discharged if we don’t accept it, they harassed us many times about that crap, such a ugly bad experience for our long waited rainbow baby. I will never use that hospital again- NY 😈👎
Why did you refuse the vitamin k shot? It's quite an important one....
Day 3 of having the baby and the hardest part is the lack of sleep. Wife was contracting for four days before going into labor. In the hospital so far the amount of doctors and nurses coming in/Baby feeding/crying we’ve less than 6 hours of sleep in like 5-6 days
I am 37yo. and 13 weeks with my 1st baby. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤
Another thing about the car seat. Check with your local firestation. If they have a certified person on their staff they can often do a car seat check to make sure it's secured properly and to ensure the baby has the correct seat for their size (meaning you can get checked again as the baby grows)
Funny story about the car seat extra fabric issue. The 1st injury I ever experienced in life was whiplash because someone rear-ended my mom, I was in a snow suit because it was late November in Michigan and I just
Slipped
She made a point of telling new parents about this so they didn't do that to their baby
At 10:20 I stepped away from my computer but kept the sound going. I heard "You're supposed to boil these fuckers for five minutes before you actually use them!" I was like - wow! She's knowledgable AND funny! And then I rewound it and you said "suckers." LMAO
We try to keep it reasonable for RUclips... but feel free to read between the lines. 🤣
We think we're pretty funny too, but don't always get to show it.
This is such a life saver!! Thank you for all the details and going in depth in things I hadn’t even considered!
You have no idea how encouraging this is ❤️❤️❤️ I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant, with a little boy. We are beyond excited but completely clueless. Thankyou so much for these videos !!!! 💕💕💕💕
Get allllllll the sleep you can while pregnant!! Second week in my baby feeds every 1.5-2 hrs for most of the day it’s crazy
@@summerviator5966 and this includes overnight. I promise you wont sleep for 2-3 hours inbetween it doesn’t work. Be strong and enjoy!
How is your 1 year old doing was anything harder than you thought? I’m about to be a dad for the first time 😅
I am 4 weeks pregnant and am already binge watching every single video of your channel!!! great content!
Thank you so much for making these videos! It really helps to have a credible source of information online. Also very comforting to know that as a new parent, you aren't going to have all the answers right away. :)
I’m grateful for your channel
I’m Speechless, thanks for all the great information
Thank you for the video. I am a new grandma and will be helping to watch the baby. This refresher is extremely helpful.
I’m a postpartum doula and NCS and with you is a plus, I’ve learned more and videos are interactive, thank you!
As a first time dad (girl dad). This video gave me a lot of information. So glad I found it!
Great video...parenting is tough and it helps to hear these types of videos! Only thing I always worry about is him sleeping, feel like I’m ALWAYS checking up on him to make sure he is ok.
Just had a baby girl, and this video answered all of my immediate pressing questions. Thank you and congratulations!
Great info and so well presented without all the drama. Thanks so much!!
Thanks for these videos guys. Really helps a lot to prepare for a newborn.
Thank you for taking the time to help new moms! Best wishes for a healthy happy little pink bundle!💖💖
You’re so very welcome! It has been so wonderful to get such positive feedback like this on our videos.
Thank you for sharing!
Just went for my 22week scan today! 1st baby! Absolutely love the content you create. Puts my mind at ease knowing that the information you are sharing is coming from trained professionals.
Congrats! It was so much fun seeing all of baby's little parts at our anatomy scan just weeks ago.
Thanks for letting us know that our journey is helping you on yours!
Hey
Get sleep!!!
Good job Asscurls.
@@TheDoctorsBjorkman DR if baby is a new born how to make baby drink water? so she doesnt dehydrate
really great video, if there is any must-watch baby videos for first time parents, THIS IS THE ONE.
Can there be a more in depth video on the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression? Love these videos, so informative!
Yes! I think a video on baby blues and PPD would be great!
I think it has to do with a time frame? If it lasts longer than X amount of weeks it's more serious
If it’s a problem you need to see a therapists that can hear you in person to tailor to your unique situation
I had baby blues 3 days post partum, but then things weren't getting better as weeks went by and turned into months, i found out i had post natal depression. That was with my first baby in 2016. I recovered and am now 30 weeks pregnant with 3rd baby.
Mama Doctor Jones had one on RUclips ^^
Currently 21st weeks pregnant. Thank you for these videos, I’ve learnt so much from watching them!
Thank God for these two!!!
Hello,
New to this channel and I am loving it. Thank you for giving such great information to the public
This was so helpful!! Expecting my first child in a matter of weeks! Thanks so much ☺️
this video.. thankyou! im expected in august and my general practitioner (also pediatritician) has been un available for 2+ weeks due to extreemly bussy scheduel... i LOVe finding these kind of vids on here from actual doctors with details and needed info o-o its been amazing to lissen to and note down things to look out for. thankyou so much!
First time mum here at 38.5 weeks this video helped me a lot! You know how the saying goes you don’t know what you need to know
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE VIDEOS. The professional information is reassuring, instead of hearing it from the opinion/beliefs of a blogger(although im sure they have good knowledge/tips too).
I learned things! Awesome! Thanks for these baby series!
Thank you soo much for this video! I unfortunately lost my mother 4 years ago and this is my first experience as a parent. I'm excited but also very nervous cause I literally feel as if I don't know anything. Thank you for reassuring us that its okay and theres alot of space for us mom-to-be(s) to learn and grow. ❤ Wishing you a safe pregnancy journey too!
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! Currently 24 weeks with little boy
Thank you so much for all the tips and advice!
Loving your videos! A tip that I love seeing is when the temp is on Celsius on the screen for us internationals 😁
Thanks for mentioning that! It’s funny that at the hospital we almost exclusively use Celsius but then switch to the US Standard system when talking to patients.
If newborn baby has a temp above 38c, give your pediatrician a call!
I have been preparing and trying to do a lot of research before I have my little one in 2 weeks. I have been watching you guys and I’ve been learning a lot! Thank you so much for answering all of our questions! 🙌🏽
You are so welcome! Sending you smooth labor vibes. Can’t wait for you to meet your little one so soon!! Good luck mama!
Thank you so much for all of these tips, definitely good to be able to watch these videos before the baby actually arrives (in my case in roughly months, yey :) as I have a feeling there won't be much time to sit down and put RUclips on once the little one is there..! ;) Best of luck everyone xxx
This has been so informational and life saving. Thank you so much! Expecting baby boy in January. I’m less nervous watching your videos. Binge watching all of them
Having a boy in January as well!
Questions:
Carseats:
1. If you get a hand-me-down infant carseat (the kind that is not convertible, clicks into your stroller, and is only usable for baby's first 5-6 mos) from someone who got it brand new in the last 2-3 years, is that okay to use as long as it is not past its manufacturer expiration date? Asking because carseats are one of the pricier newborn items (for good reason) and an expense that some new parents may need to weigh in relation to other baby necessities. So getting a good condition, non-expired, infant seat second hand might give a little breathing room to cash strapped parents who could use a little time to save up for a convertible infant-to-toddler size seat.
2. What if you don't drive or have a car? Like, you're literally going to walk out of the hospital directly to public transit to take your baby home? Still can't leave the hospital without a carseat?? This has been very different (in my experience) from country to country. For example, in many Asian countries its expected that most people will use public transit and carseats are not required by law when riding in taxis, so they're more of a suggestion than a necessity (unless you do have your own car, which is not so common in most places in Japan or HK, for instance). What say you?
Safe Sleep: What about babies that bedshare? Can you please outline the Safe Sleep Seven & give guidance on Safe bedsharing practices? Even parents who have no intention of bedsharing will inevitably bring their baby into their bed for a nighttime feed & then fall asleep: or fall asleep feeding/holding baby in a chair or in the sofa. What can parents do to set up a safe shared sleeping environment to be prepared for the event that they may unintentionally fall asleep with baby in their bed or in their arms elsewhere?
I will be a first time mom in a few days. Thank you guys for this video! 😊
best wishes!
Check in!
How's it going?
Same!
Just a note: I’m from Ontario, Canada and we actually do have to bring everything for our babies to the hospital. Diaper, wipes, etc. included. You can buy these supplies at the hospital if you absolutely need them but it’s at a hugely inflated price and the hospital actually tells people to bring it themselves.
Yeah, also beverages and snacks are way overpriced at clinics! Better bring them yourself. 😉👍
Same thing in the Caribbean. I'm in Jamaica and you have to bring it all with you
Same in Ireland - bring everything you need for the baby!
I'm in BC and we get all of that included during the stay :)
From Alberta and they provided everything as well (come on Ontario get it together lol) We brought a few things to have but hospital was awesome and took care of everything while we were there.
My baby is due February 2022 so this was VERY needed. I'm worried I'll do everything wrong but the advice and information in this is vital, thank you!!
Are you and baby doing good? Congrats 🎉
This channel is so helpful. Thank you so much!
Glad you think so! Thanks!!
It's also alright to deny a lot of visitors in the first few weeks, if you don't want them to come.
Take your time, the health of the mom, the baby and their bonding are paramount. 🙂👍
If they persist, send them a couple of photos and a date in the future where you might be fine with a visit. Also, anybody who come to visit in the first few months should bring food for themselves and for the family. They shouldn't expect to be catered or entertained in any way, duh. 🤪

THANK YOU!!! This is saving my life haha I’m 23 weeks myself I needed to know all of this! I don’t really have anyone to ask about all of this 🥰🥰
After watching sooo many videos an searching on Google.. I actually feel better, I have been doing nothing but stress over what I need to know. Being a first time mom is definitely scary.. you may not see this but I just wanna say thank you . I'm currently 37 weeks so I'm trying to make sure I got everything down packed an this helped out alot!
Thank you so much for letting us know this was helpful for you. You are most certainly not alone being anxious about caring for you little one that is on its way- we were nervous too!
You’re going to do great and learn so much along the way. Good luck and congratulations!
Such a useful video! Thanks so much
this should have 2000000000 likes, well done, appreciate the help
Thanks for the reply on another video! Your videos are amazing and so informative, I just got my BFP on Sat and had my first hcg blood draw today ❤️
CONGRATS!!!!! Such fun and amazing news! 🎉
I’m one day away from 37 weeks pregnant with our first, a girl. She’s due on Christmas 🎄🤰🏼 so just about 2-3 weeks to go
How's it going? :)
@@panicstation7 pretty good, lost my mucus plug right at 38 weeks a few days ago. So she’ll probably come any day now :)
@@thehumblepeach9018 good luck!! I'm 35w 4d. No contractions or anything yet... I suppose that's a good thing 😅
This was very helpful!
such a great video. makes me feel a bit less freaked out! FTM due in 3ish weeks!
Thank you! My husband and I are expecting our first child, a son! Thank you for the advice! We will continue to watch all of your videos!
Good luck!!
Thank you dr’s ❤️🙏🏼
I'm currently 27 weeks and expecting a boy in March. I have a feeling my husband is going to be so adorable with him and all this info really really helps!
Your just amazing. Thank you!
Always love your videos - please can you elaborate on the third trimester vaccination for mom.
I cant imagine how anyone can let their baby boy be harmed with circumcision... it makes no sense
This is so informative and helpful! When do you think it’s safe to bring the baby around larger groups of people?
Super helpful video thank you!
Thank you! So glad you think so 🙂
4 months until she's here I can't wait 🎉
You guys are amazing 🤩 this is the most helpful advice wow thank you
QUESTION? What is your opinion on baby swings? Looking forward to being a grandmother soon. I love watching your videos and now my expecting daughter watches too.
My baby graduated from the nicu today and I’m terrified! Thank you for the info.
Wow interesting insights, thanks
Very helpful video
I am 29 weeks pregnant . And your videos are very helpful ❤
Got your Baby? ❤
Yall are amazing. Love yall. Have you written any books??
Great video!
thank you.
👍🏻🙏🏻 thank you so informative
can you put up a video of how early to take appointments with pediatricians for your baby? If you set up with a pediatrician after the child is born, will they see them quick enough for day 3 of life visit etc?
If I were a newborn and I had the chance to pick my parents, these two would definitely be on the top of that list :D
I had whooping cough few years ago - that was super rough. And my doctors didn’t diagnose it until two months later because I was still sick. Nasty stuff. If not for current meds I wouldn’t have survive it.
Thank you‼️
Thank you!!!!
You’re welcome!
Thank you 😢 my girlfriend is having our first I'm so nervous. Thanks for your tips
Thank you ... home will be 🙂
Your crib in the background is beautiful!! Do you happen to remember where you got it or the brand?
So much time spent feeding! I tracked feeds from weeks 2-3 and spent 6.5hrs average each day just breastfeeding over 10-12 feeds. Add in burping time and thats a full time job!
