![How We Sleep Trained Our Babies - [Tips for sleep training]](/img/1.gif)
Can’t believe we are almost at 40,000 subscribers!! Thank you guys so much for the support, we hope you enjoy this video 🤍
We enjoy your channel because it's so real. The good and the bad, Ying and Yang and we can see a lot of the twins.
Yes we love youre chanel
Y not u both are great and the boys😘u make it interesting for all ages I’m a young 65 with 6 kids and 8 grand kids and just love u all 💞😘
It’s my favourite you tube channel!! I look forward to it every week🥰xxx
I actually would enjoy you guys getting a job and STOP exploiting kids on youtube for cash, thanks!
Love to watch this young family, I am in my 70’s and really enjoy how they cope with bringing up two little boys, reminds me of our time with our three children, and Fab is a lovely man, always there for Ellen and the boys as it should be ... 💛
My little boy had eczema when he was 2-7 months old, all cleared up now. I was told to only bath him twice a week as water dries his skin out which we have carried on doing now even with him in nursery and just give a wash with a flannel other days. That helped so much alongside a steriod cream the Dr gave us and hasn't come back since! The less baths was a gane changer!
Infantile excema goes hand in hand with asthma or other chesty complaints. It runs in our family.
Irritating while it lasts but thankfully outgrows.
Topical steroids best. They thin the skin if overused but infantile excema is usually outgrown. Can go hand in hand with croup or asthma though but also outgrows.
Yes definitely don’t bath your baby every day this drys out there skin by removing the oils from there skin hence resulting in dry flaky skin cetraben cream is good as it forms a barrier on the skin hope this helps from a dermatology nurse xx
To begin with yous popped up on RUclips and I’d watch your videos unsubscribed (I’m sorry) and when yous put up your video of getting pregnant with your twins I remember crying so much with happiness but also craving that moment I seen a positive test. Then your fertility journey, it hit me so much. Myself and my partner had been struggling for 3 years. When you uploaded your fertility journey I cried my eyes out with happiness for a couple I barely knew because I knew how much it meant to yous both. I watched that video multiple times to take in the emotions and happiness within yous. Little did I know that I was also pregnant 🥹 I had my little boy last month, your videos throughout your pregnancy helped me so much. Your journey was very similar to ours. I have never commented on your videos until now but I can honestly say every inch of emotion yous both felt within your journey myself and my partner felt it too , we’ve watched your videos and it’s helped us a lot! Yous are amazing parents and yous are a great team. Much love from Scotland ❤️
As a mom of big twin boys 7.7 & 8.5 at birth- they were hungry… but I was so tired. At the same age as yours are now I needed to make a change.I didn’t have help with the feedings and knew I needed the sleep more than they needed a night feed. So 2 nights in a row that got boiled water(cooled of course) they were not interested in that so they trained themselves not to wake in the night. So their last feed was 10:30 and they woke up very hungry at around 5:30 am -7 hours
straight sleep was a miracle.
I am glad to see you found something that works for you.
Fab and Ell,, your boys are just adorable and your such amazing parents. You work together as a team and this will pay off more and more as the boys grow. We'll done!❤
Thank you Shirley 🫶
Silent watcher here! After Fabs comments at the end of the video I had to comment 😆 So lovely to see the boys getting so big and growing up, and so proud of you guys for almost being at 40k!!! This is my comfort channel, always look forward to settling down with a cuppa to catch up x
Thank you so much for commenting and saying hi! Thank you for supporting us ❤️ x
We also use a white noise machine and she has slept with the same blankie/lovie since we moved her to her crib in her room. I found from 6 months to 1 years old- she slept from 7 pm to 7 am and then took a 1.5 hr nap at 10 am and a 1.5-2hr nap at 1 pm.
The babies are adorable. There is nothing wrong with sleep training. ❤❤❤❤
My dream is to visit England! My ancestors are from West Country. My Nan and Pop still had an intact dialect that resembled that area…with just a bit of an Irish accent mixed in due to our heritage. The people of my Nan and Pop’s age were actually labelled British or Irish…with nationality being British due to having not joined Canada by that point.
When I think back to my childhood, we were very “old fashioned,” and so much of the culture was intact. It has changed now, but I just love my heritage so much. I hope I get there before I die!!
silent watcher here! been watching since your boys were born and they are so big now. You guys are doing such a good job with your boys. I am a mom of a 4 year old boy and a 19 month girl.
Silent watcher here,all the way in Corfu Greece🇬🇷 I have been subscribed since I found out I was pregnant in May last year and I came across your channel. It was so nice watching your videos whilst being pregnant at the same time and now that our little boys are here(I also had a boy), it’s very helpful seeing all your recommendations and also I get to see what my little boy will be doing soon as they have two months age difference. Thank you for your lovely videos x
Great video, the boys are getting so big and are developing their own personalities.
Their routine is obviously working for you all ,very happy boys and happy mum and dad . Xx
Your boys are beautiful, those smiles are infectious, love watching them grow (so fast 😱)
You both are lovely caring parents, the boys are so lucky to have you as their mummy and daddy.
Thank you so much 🤍
Love watching you all, come on peeps, lets get this lovely family up to 100k xx
Babies don’t need to cry much. Years ago with mine that was the only way they said. I never did it though. Always we rocked them til asleep. We let them fuss but not scream like they said to do. You are great parents. You technique is great. 👏👏🫶🫶🫶💙💙💙💙💙
#teamFabsMom… she’s great, so adorable how she is with the those two cutie pies! With her mom phone case too! ❤
The boys are not only gorgeous but they are such happy babies, you two are doing a great job. My second baby had eczema behind his ears and Sudcreme worked really well as it was such an angry red raw rash and the cream really helped calm it all down x
I absolutely love you guys best parents caring people the world would be a better place if more were like you both x
Wait each week for you to come on with the boys. I enjoyed it very much because all my grandchildren are grown and it’s nice to see two young adults taking such good care of their babies. Love to you all and have a great spring. I know you guys like to walk. ❤ ❤❤❤
Seeing what you make up for the night reminds me of our routine for our son 42yrs ago I'd warm several bottles and wrap in rolled towels and leave in our washroom counter to keep warm during the night and handy when he woke up. Which was often. Glad you found a way to get them to sleep thru.
Fab and Ellen, you two are smashing it as twin parents! I'm so happy that the sleep training is working so well for you! I had a much tougher time with my twin boys( who are your age now.) It was just me caring for them, as their dad didn't help me. It was total chaos at night, as I would go from one to the other, and not getting much sleep at all myself. Their older brother was 4, and daytimes were spent driving him to and from pre-school. Luckily I only worked weekends( I'm a registered nurse,) and I'm grateful that most nights I was able to be home with my boys. Anyway, I love watching Noah and Ari grow, they are such handsome little boys! Sending my love from across the pond.❤️🇺🇸
your boys are so adorable and i’m telling my daughter about the sleep schedule, love you guys❤
I’ve been subscribed and watching since y’all were trying to conceive. I just rolled up on your channel back then and have been watching ever since. I love how happy Noah and Ari are. I have 7 grandsons. The youngest is 5 years old now. No twins but my daughter had her 4 boys very close together and my second son has 3 that are close together. The white noise is great for sleep training. Y’all are doing amazing with your precious boys. Can’t wait until they are crawling and walking. That’s a whole new ballgame! Lol. Have a great weekend. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida.😎🦩🌞🦩😎
Hello the boys are growing so fast and they are so cute not babies long enjoy every moment ❤️👍😊 you are doing a marvellous job of looking after and caring for your boys xxxx
The boys really look like Fabs brother and dad in those clips.❤❤ let's get you to 40k🎉🎉
Aww the boys are growing so beautifully&adorable🙌🏼💚💚🦋🦋
Credits to the beautiful Ell and FAb💚💚💚
Love, Light&Blessings
Thanks for sharing🙏
Sleep Training was the best thing we ever did! My child sleeps better than any kid I know- She is 5 years old and has slept 10-12 hours a night since she was 6 months old! We transitioned her to her own room with a monitor at 6 month old- definitely was great to have our own space back.
You two are the best parents!! Everything your doing for them is brilliant. LOVE how you went to sleep studies for the boys. I wish I had that knowledge back in the dark ages... Great Job, here's to 50,000.
I started watching you two when you had the boys because I have a 5 month old baby born right around the same time. It's so nice to watch people who are going through the same things as me (bottles, nappies, wake windows and sleep...or lack of 😅). Keep up the amazing work with these videos guys, baby Eve and I love watching 😊
You have a beautiful family. I love watching your videos. The boys are adorable.❤❤
Awwww aren't the boys just so beautiful?
We have to agree with you there 😅 (not biased at all) 👀
@@fabandell Awww just a tad 😂
I love Thursdays, I always wait for your video. Love to see you playing with boys, that's just priceless!
Never comment enough, but I absolutely love your channel and your videos. My fav RUclipsrs! I’m 21 at uni, but I find all your content about your engagement, kids and the house so enjoyable to watch regardless! Keep doing what you’re doing ❤
Thank you so much for saying hey and thank you for your lovely words xx
My toddler has eczema since he was born. It’s extreme eczema and so we’ve spent a lot of money on private care and spent time in hospital. I can’t stress enough that genuine off the shelf creams won’t help at all for genuine eczema. You need to have a petroleum based ointment (we use Fifty:50). Either get your dr to refer you to a dermatologist or pay for a private session, ours literally helped overnight. It never clears up but you can manage it with creams and by avoiding things like wool and overheating. All the best ❤❤ xx
You guys really have this parenting thing down. Congratulations!
That’s very kind of you ❤️
Hi ell try using a pair of tights on the taps in the bath and fill them with porridge oats let the water run into the tights so the goodness is in the water. I hope this works for you I have psoriasis so I no all about skin conditions ❤❤❤❤
Porridge looks delicious I am so obsessed with it!! I use peanut butter and honey with fruit 🍌
Working as a team, bloody love you guys, you’re smashing it 😍😍xx
Fab and Ell, you are great parents. You're doing a fantastic job in raising your two boys. I love what you have done with their sleeping schedules. Babies have an innate sense to know what works for them, as well as for Moms and dads. Also, keeping the boys with you, in your bedroom, does make them feel safe. I also love the fact you did your homework, in finding out, what works best for you, and your babies. That is the most important aspect of your parenting. If it works for your family... you have done a fantastic job. Sending you much Love and Blessings your way. Cheers👏👌👍🙏
use the oatmeal Aveeno bar to bathe them and the Aveeno cream.. use draft unscented. My kids were very sensitive to many things
You are both such committed parents. I babysat 2 babies and helped my sister with r or her 5 kids ( the 5th child was born after I moved several provinces away) I also raised a daughter 33 and a son 30. It is not an easy job but you two are so honest with what your life is like. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It is always a joy to see Fab helping as much as he does. I have had share of bedtimes to deal with. My son hated to sleep so he was a chore but my daught slept through the night - 12 hours with no bottle. She was a gem as an infant.Keep doing what you are doing. The boys are thriving
Oatmeal baths helps a lot. I try to make sure that my daughter gets one a week, unless she has a break out. Then I will have her do that until it starts to clear.
I just love this family!
My little girl started suffering with Eczema when she turned 1. The doctor gave us some Hydrocortisone cream for the worst areas to use for a few weeks and Aqueous cream for everywhere else. When it was really bad we put the Aqueous on her 3 times a day; first thing in the morning, midday and then last thing before bed. We also used Oilatum in the bath and only bathed her 3 times a week - too much can sometimes make it worse. It was a slow process but definitely worked. She has flare ups now and again so we just increase the cream and use the oilatum in the bath again. You can also get Oilatum lotion which we now use after every bath to try and keep on top of it. When it was really bad in the summer we also gave her piriton which helped reduce the itching. Good luck 👍 xx
I couldn’t help but giggle when Ell mentioned the Cheeries! Damn things! 😂😂😂 x
I’m in Canada and we order this balm from the UK for our little guys eczema! Works so well! There’s a cream as well, but the balm is 100x better!
It’s called Thunderbird Skin Rescue Balm!
Your boys are growing so fast!
The boys are adorable. I love watching your videos You guys are amazing parents
7:23 aveeno works great or if you can’t get your hands on it, Superdrug does the same thing but their own brand for 1/2 the price. My boys both use it (nothing worked for my eldest but the aveeno creams and he uses the Superdrug one now - he’s 14) xx
Congratulations you had a hit a milestone you guys can sleep at night with the twins
Your boys are adorable! Ive got a 3 year old girl who had a problem with reflux and we tried everything! Instead of shaking the bottle try rubbing it between your hands. I love watching your videos! X
Thank you for sharing, you’ve given me the confidence to investigate and try sleep,training with my 5 month old bubba. Thanks fam
This is the best day of the week. I love watching y'all's videos..
🤍🤍
When my kids had baby eczema now 9 and 15 yrs old they both had aveeno oatmeal moisturiser and to bathe in oilatum but just becarful getting them out as it can make them slippery ❤❤
You guys are ace and a comfort to watch. Your family is adorable. X
Loved this video the boys are at a lovely age now . Keep doing what your do guys your smashing it 😍😍💜💜
Hi fab and Ell, love your videos. Also just wanted to say thank you for showing the picture you had made by your friend in your nursery. Had my own done as a gift for my Auntie. Thanks for the great videos x
Silent watcher here all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 My babies are all teenagers now but I love watching you guys keep it real about raising twins and it takes me back to when mine were babies especially the sleep training- definitely worth it. Keep being awesome parents, very inspiring and encouraging to any new parents out there and entertaining to ones like me who have been though it!
Awww thank you so much for the support!!
Hi to your beautiful family of four from Australia. I have been watching you guys before the little angels were born and cannot get over how quickly they have grown They have the most gorgeous little faces and their laughter and giggles are something else.
You two are doing a magnificent job - while trying to plan a wedding and renovate. Enjoy your life and every minute ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey✨ I use a thin layer of Bepanthen on my 5 month old baby’s eczema 2/3 times a day. I noticed it gets worse after baths, maybe try bathing 2/3 times a week and see if that helps 💕 best of luck and congrats on almost 40k, your boys are adorable 💕 hope this helps x
You guys are incredible and a credit to each other and your two boys 💙
Love following your family ❤ well done with the sleep training! Xx
They're getting so big! You guys have a beautiful family. I found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching your videos. Just subbed as well. 😊
You are all so likeable, relatable and watchable ❤
My brother and nephew had really bad eczema as babies and they were told to use goat milk instead of cows milk and made a massive difference to their outbreaks
I’m a massive fan of the sleep training used it with both of my boys, another brilliant video you two, love seeing the gorgeous boys 💙💙
I commented earlier on how you are smashing this twin life. What amazing parents you are, and what an amazing partnership. Your boys are amazing. The previous comment went into someone else’s vlog, totally unrelated, I bet they had a laugh, it was about fish and chips in Blackpool!!!!!xx
Hey y'all I love seeing the boys they are precious
You certainly have got the boys trained with sleeping. My grandchildren were quite good at sleeping but used to cry during the day when you put them in their cots but they never had pacifiers my daughter didn’t believe in them.❤️❤️❤️
Our baby's eczema wasn't severe but Aveeno Dermexa (Morrisons have it!) and bathing him less cleared it right up.
The dark blue aveeno ! It’s amazing
Love watching your videos! The sleep training is so important. My 16 month old sleeps well and is so good at soothing himself for naps and bedtime. It really paid off! Happy baby, happy Parent! Keep doing what you're doing!
I’m a silent watcher but I’ve subscribed. it’s a shame you don’t have Twitter as I’m over there most of the time. I watch your video’s every week & love them - can’t believe how quickly your little loves are growing up! Beautiful family ❤️
Thank you so much! We’re not really into twitter unfortunately! Thank you for watching and supporting us xx
You guys are amazing parents ❤!
I did the Ferber method on my 11.5 month daughter and it was so so hard, but now she sleeps through the night. I wish I did it sooner at 5-6 months like you guys !
Avoid soap products some ‘soap free’ actually still contain soap products (sodium Laureth sulfate). Stay away from fragranced products. Use sensitive products to wash clothes/ bedding/ towels the only one that works for us is Omo sensitive. I’m not sure if you have it there but QV wash is super gentle and if you need to put a lotion on they have a lotion too.
Your doing a fantastic job with your beautiful boys, love your videos, I still got covid, plus I was born in somerset came to Australia many years ago but just love it here big hug to your beautiful boys xx
Asked a couple of times,is Ell going back to teaching? The boys are so handsome! When you two are doing a project together you crack me up!
I am yeah, in September x
It's the baby giggles for me ❤❤
Aww the little twins are gorgeous and growing so fast. Those cute baby smiles 🥰 I remember the midwife feeding my first son the way you showed feeding yours and when I asked her about it she said it was so they and the babies didn’t bond. She told me they examine their mothers face while feeding so thats why they did it that way and I was told not to feed like that (I was breast feeding so couldn’t anyway) It’s strange how over the years ideas on how to look after your baby keeps changing. My Mum laughs at me and says it’s a wonder any of us survived as she laid us on our tummies and used blankets 😂😂 ps not saying your babies are not bonding with you because you feed them that way (they clearly love you both) just saying that was the midwives response to my question ❤ you guys are fab parents.
Followed you guys for a while now!! Love the videos 😊!! Love them even more so now that we’re expecting our little boy in September!! All the tips on feeding, sleeping and must haves are just so so helpful! Definitely going to be re watching and re watching haha! Ps your boys are gorgeous 🤗💙 xxx
Oh my word, congratulations!! 🫶 biggest thing is to work as a team and support each other through the early days especially. Try your best to take in every day, even when you’re sleep deprived because it goes by in a flash ❤️
My twin boys had eczema few months ago was told to bath in aqueous cream and then use the steroid cream after the bath. Was told to do that once a day for a week. Then go down to a few baths a week and only use the steroid when needed but to never use moisturiser on their skins by rubbing it in as that can aggravate their skin more by the rubbing. Hasn't been back since then.
Child’s farm gives my twins a rash too and one twin in particular has eczema. I found the Aveeno EMOLLIENT moisturiser the best at clearing the eczema. But if I miss a day it comes back.
Hello guys! You are amazing - looking so fresh and lovely (in Ell’s case) - must be the extra sleep you’ve been getting recently!!
Joking apart, you seem to have a lot of energy. Those boys seem to be growing fast too. Love them, love your family. Xxx
Love watching ur vlogs. Love watching the twins. Have a great week. I'm watching from Maine USA
‘Avène Tolerance Extreme texture Rich Cream’ is my absolute best cure for my face eczema and I feel like a tried every other eczema and sensitive skin potion out there . Nothing compares. Loving the videos x
Loved the video the boys are growing fast so cute , gland the sleeping is getting better sounds great what you are doing xx
Hi again, love your videos 👌
I used Oilatum in my babies baths. It's fabulous stuff!
I just wanted to say that I've had five babies and sleep trained them all. Always, always teach them to fall asleep or go back to sleep on their own. I taught them that I'm around, not far away (I'd even hoover the landing) but Mummy is no fun when they're supposed to be sleeping. If I had to go to them I wouldn't talk, not make eye contact but lay them down if they were sitting or standing and stroke their heads until they were calm. Then I'd immediately leave the room. You're right, it really does work. Blackout blinds or curtains are a must too. White noise, again yes, my younger daughter loved the hoover. I'd switch it on outside the bedroom and she'd be fast on in a couple of minutes 😂
My twelve year old still rocks his head to go to sleep 🥰
You're doing everything right, spot on 🥰
I've continued to watch your videos since I had my miscarriage nearly a year ago and they're honestly so comforting and warming to watch. I really enjoy all you content, makes me so excited to fall pregnant again hopefully soon!
Aww Rachel it makes us so happy that you find comfort in them! We are here if you ever need to chat and we will be just as excited as you when you fall pregnant 🤍
@@fabandell Thankyou so much! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this month 🤞🏻 have a great day! 💗
Aquaphor worked for my boys. Love your channel! Family is beautiful ❤
Thank you for the advice! 🤍
Love watching your videos. I can't believe how big Noah and Ari are getting. They are so cute. As a mum of 8 can I suggest that when you put the boys down for their sleep through the day time you start putting them in their cots this will help get them used to sleeping in there before you are ready to go in their when you are ready to put them in their at night time. I wish someone had told me this as it really does make a huge difference. My boys had really bad excema I used ego brand in the sensitive I used the body wash and cream it really helped a lot. And I used lux flakes for their clothes when I washed made a big difference. I hope people start liking your vlogs and subscribe to help you out. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful family with me and everyone else 😊
We will put them in their when they are 6 months old 😁. Thank you so much x
Hi Fab and Ell, just to say regarding the Eczema that my son really suffered from it as well when he was a baby and I would highly recommend Aveeno (not only their moisturiser but also their body wash). I noticed that, for my son, his Eczema was actually been triggered by the other body washes I was using and even today (he is 7 now) he can only ever use Aveeno body wash or Sanex 0% otherwise the Eczema returns. Hope that helps 🙂
Of all the nights to end up in A&E and it was my favourite twins night so I’m late watching!! They are the most gorgeous , happy, giggly boys ever and I would love to have a chance to meet them one day!
You are so organised and really are excellent parents working together , we all know it’s never easy so I’m in awe of u both having 2 scrummy babies. Lotsa love Lucy in Weymouth xxx💖💙💙💙
Hope you are ok? Thank you so
Much for watching xx
You are doing well for your boys list from your heart ❤ 🎉😊
U both doing great guys xx boys are so cute and happy xx
Well hello there yeah I'm the senior I'm just seeing you guys again on the video you got the cutest little twins that are denicol I can't tell them apart other than that and you can have a blessed day and enjoy your weekend today for me it's Thursday have a blessed day
Gold bond eczema relief is something that I have used. Also it's called Butt Paste. That really worked well for my youngest.
I saw you said about eczema. Both my babies were delivered via csection. I was told theyd be prone to eczema and asthma, both boys got both. My oldest is 6 now and he has 'simple' bath products, even shampoo and conditioner irritates his skin so he can only use simple. All childrens bath products have flavours and things in and every single one irritates his skin. My 1 year old has allergies and hes actually allergic to aveno, and the aveeno with oats seems loads worse. He can only have simple products and childs farm. Also, my kids only have baths 2 or 3 times a week, it was reccomended to us and helps loads so that they dont have many flare ups xx
My grandson had eczema so we put porridge oats in Muslim bag and put in bath water when bathing him
Love watching your videos the boys are gorgeous. ❤❤❤
