    A tip for shifts- you have the right idea for baby #2! We have found it works really well for me to get up with the babies to breastfeed and let my husband sleep.. because him being well rested makes him so helpful during the day. I got to nap while baby napped, he would make me food, do things around the house, and then help with our older boy when we had baby #2. Then he would do some skin to skin for bonding. I know many people feel like the night time shifts should be shared, but this worked out really well for us!

      Completely agree! And if there are couples who share night time duty and it works, that's great, but at most I'll ask my husband to do a middle of the night diaper change. He's still getting plenty of uninterrupted hours, especially since we go to bed earlier now.

    • @nicolemartel8661

      Same for us! The first few weeks he would get up to help me since I was still figuring stuff out and was healing from a tear and all that, but once I got the hang of it he would sleep through the night. Then in the morning he would take her after I fed her for a few hours so I could sleep, come back for me to feed her then take her again. So we both got a good amount of rest!

    26 year old mom of 3 here 👋 my biggest tip for doing feeding shifts is to either have hubby take baby for first shift of the night, immediately following a feed (usually around 8-9pm) and go to bed early for a couple/few hours, he can stay up with baby until 10/11 and then bring baby to you. Alternately, if you prefer to sleep in he can take baby immediately after a feed early in the morning, around 5/6 and you can sleep in a couple more hours! This makes it so you get a few good quality hours of sleep every night but you don’t have to pump! And he gets to sleep through the night while you handle feeds. That’s what has worked for us! Best of luck 🫶❤

      No baby here but I am curious to understand better, in the late night shift or early morning baby is not sleeping at all after the feed? Or is it helpful that the dad does it because the baby care like changing/ rocking can be long and make you feel you have no rest between feeds?

    I definitely recommend the owlet.. when pregnant I didn’t really think about it and thought it was unnecessary but our little girl ended up being born premature so I asked around and the NICU nurses told us they are quite accurate.. once we did finally get to bring baby girl home it gave me such peace of mind, and honestly the ability to sleep well between feeds knowing that if something sinister were to occur, we would be notified immediately.. used for 10months and only alarmed once when she had RSV which we ended up needing hospital for anyway..

    So exciting!! I remember when I was planning everything for my daughter, who's just 2 months younger than yours, and seeing you go though this again is reminding me of that time! :) I can 100% recommend a carrier: Boba bliss. Suuuuuper easy to use, and COMFORTABLE!! it's like a hybrid carrier, easy to put on and off like the more sturdy ones, but super comfy like the elastic cloth ones. Everyone I know that's used it has loved it and recommends it!

    Yes, yes yes to baby wearing! I didn’t start wearing my baby till she was about a month old and I wish I had done it sooner. Like you said, I also struggled in the beginning with trying to get things done around the house and Caring For baby when her naps were so short, it wasn’t until I started wearing her, that I started to get more peace of mind and want so overwhelmed with trying to get chores done. It can be intimidating at first. I just watched a lot of videos and tried it around the house. I started out with the wrap which is great but can be a little annoying having to tie it and making sure it’s not too tight or too loose I tried the ring sling and I found those were so much easier to use in public. You can Quickly put them on and adjust while baby is in. Now that I’m pregnant with baby number two, I got a another carrier that allows me to carry my baby on the back now that the bumps in the way . My first will only be 13 months when I have my baby in August, so I’m sure I’ll be baby wearing a lot.

    The owlet raised my anxiety even more because of false alarms when the sock would shift in their sleep. But we also had a nicu baby so the false alarms were extra triggering for me. Totally support people who enjoyed it and want to use it, just personally didn’t have a good experience with it.

    @KaileyAnderson-oi4tn 22 дня назад +7

    In my opinion, shifts don’t work unless your husband does not stay in the room. Mine took first shift and gave baby breastmilk bottles of milk that I had pumped during the day and usually one bottle of formula. I would go to sleep around 8-9 and pump right before going to sleep and then he would stay in the living room with the baby. Then he would roll her in around 1-2am and I would get up with her the rest of the night. He is a light sleeper so he went and slept in the other room so he could get uninterrupted sleep as well. It worked seamlessly for us. My baby did not have a good latch so I would pump after feeding her a bottle when she woke up the first time. I knew I did not want to have to pump through the night so I wouldn’t pump unless I woke up and needed to before she came in but I don’t think it even happened. I also pumped first thing in the morning. But if you breastfeed then you wouldn’t have to worry about the pumping and it would be even easier!

    I use the mobi wrap with my little one. She is 6 weeks old and I have been baby wearing since the first week. Putting her in the wrap infront of a mirror is what really helped me because I could see where to put her legs etc. Also, get Gabe to help you the first few times if you are nervous about manouvering the baby into the wrap. My husband helped me the first 4 times until I was confident enough to do it myself. I have just ordered the ergobaby omni 360, so excited to try that. Don't be intimidated by baby wearing! It really is so helpful and I love her being so close to me. You look amazing btw!! ❤

    Baby wear recommendations from a mama of 4 ❤
    I loved the Solly wrap for the newborn days for when you need to get things done around the house. It'll take a few times to get used to the the long fabric and ties, but I really love how cozy and comfortable it was for baby and I.
    We loved the baby bjorn carrier for when we are out and about. Super easy and fast to put on, only 4 clips 🥳
    When you had your first babe, I had my 4th around the same time. So sweet to see you go through it again with baby #2. Congrats and so happy for you guys ❤

It’s honestly so inspiring, especially because you were able to acknowledge the small things to fix for baby number 2. Taking care of a baby is a bit scary especially with all the unknown but the fact that she is who is she is, is because of all your love and support and attention to the finer details ! You are such an amazing mom, you really inspire me and I can’t wait to be a mom because of you! ♥️

You don't have to worry about waking the baby to check on breathing. I have also found it useful now that the baby is in the nursery, because an alarm will go off if the baby is moving too much. I honestly don't know how I would sleep without it.

I had a baby bjorn carrier I loved, the boba and moby wrap were both great and so comfy, and then an ergobaby one which wasn’t as comfy or supportive as the baby bjorn! I really want the artipoppe carrier for my next baby because we baby wore ALL THE TIME!

    Solly baby wrap is awesome for the newborn stage when it’s warm out. Or the ergo baby. Love both! Definitely put them on a few times before you baby wear and then it’s easy and second nature!

    We’ve been doing baby wearing nonstop for almost a year now! I’ve tried over a dozen carriers. My favorites:
    - Newborn: Solly wrap (because you can tuck baby’s head in and still use both hands)
    - When baby has more head control: Boppy comfort chic and ergo baby embrace
    - When my baby outgrew the boppy and ergo baby embrace: Wild bird aerial (good for up to 45lbs)
    Carriers are awesome for contact naps because baby can be napping on you while you get house work done!

    I had my son a week after your first & I’m pregnant now as well! 💗 The Baby Bjorn Mini is the easiest to use until they grow out of it, afterwards I would look for a soft structured carrier (currently on the hunt for one as well) because the structured Ergo Baby that I had was not as comfy or easy to use on your own!

    I struggled with finding a baby carrier as well! Mostly in finding one my baby liked. The one I ended up liking the most was the Ergobaby Embrace carrier. It was comfy for both of us and not too difficult to figure out!

    We have the ergo baby carrier and I LOVE it. It is a little pricey but they have deals. My son is almost 18 months and I still use it sometimes. You can sidewear, backwear, and frontwear (forward-facing and front-facing). I found it had plenty of padding so it was super comfortable. It has a hood on it to protect against the sun or if he was asleep to keep the sun out of his eyes. It also has a carrier pack on it for things like a wipe and diaper or anything else you can fit in there. :) It also has different widths for legs depending on age so it doesn't hurt their hip or joints.

    Jess, idk if you’ve looked into Silverettes for nipple pain while breastfeeding, but after breastfeeding/pumping for a year, I can say these were 1,000% worth it and made a world of difference! I started using them day 2 in the hospital, and they healed my nipples so much faster than nipple cream. It was also nice to have a barrier to protect my nipples, since it was painful when anything rubbed against them. I wore them for an entire year, and I would recommend them to anyone!

    I had my first a month after you had Makaiah and I feel the exact same with everything you pointed out for the second baby.
    You realise that buying all of the things recommended by everyone can actually be overwhelming - having to figure out how to use everything and store it and clean it! I’d like to go as minimal and simple as possible for my second because it’s less work!
    Regarding carriers, I personally like the wrap carrier for a tiny baby. Once my girl got to around 8 months, it wasn’t as comfortable any more and I felt the same way as you with the big bulky carriers, they’re pretty uncomfortable especially for at home. I didn’t end up continuing with baby wearing so don’t have any recommendations unfortunately.

    Late for this so i doubt youll see this, but in case you do... just remember that this baby might not like the movement of the mamaroo but would love a traditional swing or something else. Same thing with the different types of slings or baby wear systems, some the baby just doesn't jive with but then loves another type. IT'S SOMETIMES TRIAL AND ERROR and that's PERFECTLY NORMAL and FINE!
    Just don't give up on wanting to have a "swing seat" or "baby wearing" or whatever the thing is just bc one or even a few of the products don't fit for either YOU or BABY!

    As a soon to be mom of two, I love my Ergobaby Embrace. It is so soft, folds up small to fit in a diaper bag, and has stretch so you can "bounce" the baby while you walk. After trying a few different carriers, this was a favourite! It is also easy for me to get on and off on my own, which was a big plus. I hated the bigger wraps, I could never figure them out on my own.

    I love my solly wrap so much, i got a second so i still have one when the other needs washed haha. It does take a little practice learning to put it on, but honestly after a few times i was a pro! It is so cozy for my little one (3 months now 🥺) and comfy for me. I put it on before i leave the house so i can just stick her in to walk around haha.
    Also i highly recommend taking a look at the safe sleep seven, and even the book that it originates from, Sweet Sleep, even though it sounds like you have a plan for sleep! Especially in those first weeks where baby just wants to be in your arms and that can mean less sleep for you, Knowing how to make your bed safe to share with baby can mean a lot less sleep deprivation for everyone. I was totally against cosleeping until about day 5 of barely sleeping because she didn't want to be put down 😂😭 And that book also talks a lot about breastfeeding and hormones and research, it's great! It's on Spotify premium for audiobook 😄
