- Thank you for tuning in again. This past week has been really tough as we've all been sick. As I'm sure many of you know, breastfeeding while sick and trying to work is quite a challenge. But there's plenty to show you with progress on our rustic Italian bathroom renovation, some traditional pasta preparation and the planting of olive trees. You can find my contact details, postal address, recipes and other info on my website:

Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use or find it using Shazam. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.
Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years.

#Italy #newborn #renovation
I'm a mother of 3 breast fed babies. The first was colicky. The advice and method that worked for us was changing what I ate. Definitely no garlic, tomatoes, onions, cruciferous veggies, dairy products, minimal acidic foods, obviously no alcoholic beverages. Best of luck and health.
Absolutely. What Mother’s eat directly affects the baby’s Delicate Gi system.
This worked for us as well, my breastfed daughter was terribly distraught with colic for the first few months until I figured out what to eliminate in my diet, when I removed these foods it completely turned things around for us. I ate a lot of rice that first year but babe thrived. 😂
I found keeping a food diary helpful. When my baby had a rough day I could look back to see what I ate and eliminate foods based on that.
Yep....try a bland diet of just a few items at a time....see if baby responds.
yes sometimes it's allergic reactions, my SIL stopped all dairy and it sorted everything out... my other SIL had to stop all dairy, egg etc and now her entire family are vegan and it has controlled the allergic reactions. my first baby was colicy, i just gave her colic relief medicine and made sure i burped her properly every time after she fed and she was fine... i never even thought of allergies. it turned out that she was a very sensitive child with lots of small allergies, skin problems, nose problems, but it's mild and passed naturally.
My son Dante was like this... sleep problems, pain... our pediatra gave us the best advice ever: feed the baby with goat milk. We took her advice and wow....what a difference! Dante was sleeping better, no gas, no pain, he had never catch a cold till kindergarden, good teeth and great health and development. He is 5 now eats everything! I really think that choosing the goat milk made the difference. Take good care of you!
I had a baby that cried the first 4 months of his life ... night and day. After sheer exhaustion, but with great hesitation, I took a French pediatricians advice and put the baby on the bottle. There was a drastic change and if I had it to do over again, I would have done it sooner. I'm glad I breastfed the first few months, but regret that I waited so long to give formula a try.
In agreement NO more breast milk
Make sure you’re taking care of yourself 💕🌸 we support all the time you need to relax and recharge. Thank you for sharing again with us
My first daughter was a pretty sick baby too. I started out doing what you’re doing & getting things done when she slept. It exhausted me to such a degree that I wasn’t capable of being good at anything. I hired a housekeeper and some people to handle my yard work. I started sleeping when she slept. I had never taken a nap in my life before this!! I know you don’t like the idea of doing this but for me it made all the difference!! I was a better mother & a better person to be around for everyone. Taking good care of yourself is critical for your baby. Maybe just give it a try?? 😊
My son had colic for 6 months and then it just stopped. I did not breast feed, so he was on formula, but after 6 months the colic was gone just like the doctor had said would happen. I was so grateful ! I pray that your son recovers soon! God bless!
I just finished watching this on our television, and you are such a hard worker! I got tired, watching you paint three colors, deal with sickness, a baby who didn't feel good, and a sick husband. I hope you are now all feeling better, and your final bathroom color was lovely. Kudos to you, Kylie, you are just amazing!!
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@KylieFlavell ❤
While you may have different theories or hypotheses on why your baby can’t sleep or cries , please ensure that you rule out any medical issues.A mother’s instinct usually is correct , so if something does not feel right please seek medical advice . ❤️🇨🇦 I found out after three months and when my baby came off breastfeeding (he had a high fever, and so did I ) that’s when he started sleeping. Yes we all like to get caught up with our work when the baby sleeping but you really need to get some rest when you can because as you know if you are sick that would not be good. Unfortunately germs will be constantly pass back-and-forth so you and Guido have to build up your strength. Your home and land are certainly becoming a paradise!
I got tired too! I couldn't do a thibg with my baby
@@alejandravalenzuela342 ❤
Good morning Kaylie. It's snowing here. Motherhood is a surprise. One cannot anticipate how upsetting and time-consuming and exhausting it can be. We are so emotional when we are exhausted! It just occurred to me, that considering all of the drama that you both had to endure in the hospital is it not just the way it began that troubles him? Perhaps, that might be it. In the meantime, I surely hope that you all can feel much better soon. Blue cheese is a natural cold remedy. Also to boost your energy with some lovely calves liver is a good idea, in my opinion. Your renovations are coming along. It's all very beautiful. The view from that window is classic! Thank you! Please take your time and do not feel one moment of guilt or pressure regarding this part of your life. We will patiently wait if you still wish to grace us with your company! Thank you! Please take care of yourselves!
I actually thought this as well. There was a lot of trauma that Kylie and baby had to unfortunately go through during the birthing process, which may be making the transition from womb to earth side just a bit harder for baby!
Please remove all cruciferous veggies including garlic and onion plus citrus from your eating plan for one day. I had a boy with colic for NINE months and I rocked, walked, nursed him all night so my husband could safely drive his semi truck; after eating only oatmeal and drinking water for one day, he started to have a little less colic. I believe the stomach pain caused baby ulcers. 😥 Coffee & tea are big triggers for colic along with sugar and chocolate. Best wishes, Julie mom of 7
Wow, Julie. Seven children - you certainly must know what you’re talking about. Thanks for the advice. 😘
You are wonderful
Don't worry about anything everyone can identify with your situation
You are simply the best mother
i hate giving people advice especially mothers but seeing as you mentioned that book. something i learnt from having a huge family and watching so many people bringing up babies and then having 2 of my own who were perfect sleepers from day one...
babies are just creatures of habit. whatever you get them used to is what they expect. so if you always rock them to sleep they will always expect that. if they are always held they won't want to be put down. etc etc. it's quick to make a new routine, but whatever you teach them is normal is what you have to keep doing. or you have to change your routine. but they just want a continuation because they want routine and habits.
i made a point of always putting my kids in those bouncy chairs so they kick and it bounces themselves... i also put them down for naps, 2 hrs after lunch... no one could understand why my babies slept through the night from the first weeks... they just did. i put them down. i didn't walk around with them rocking them. i just put them in their bed. i wasn't worried if they cried a bit sometimes. i had stuff to do. we have to eat and shower and do housework etc... we can't always pick them up.
The baby just has to get on with playing on a mat alone. that's normal baby life. you get those play mats with the dangly things and the baby looks, touches, gurgles, dozes, plays again, does a kaka, gurgles... etc. this is all my babies did. eat, play, laugh, sleep... and repeat. it's the easy part. toddler years are much harder :)
"Llorona", a beautiful way to remember this period. Tears exist to drain ourselves, and by consequence to keep us healthy. I'm sure you will get over this successfully as a family ✨
My second child had all the symptoms of your baby. Turned out he had pyloric stenosis and both of us suffered for months unnecessarily because he need a simple surgery to correct it. What you are describing is not simple colic. I have been there, albeit 50 years ago. Get a medical exam and opinion from a trusted pediatrician. Sorry this saga is on going for you. I am praying for all of you.
Video moving tree , pasta & soup to salivate over, baby snuggled & fed, music, ALL enjoyable. I want to reach through space and embrace all three of you in deep restful healing love. TY-lovely!
Kyle 5 hours of constant crying is not normal. Definitely see a GI specialist for infants. Any kind of cheese and milk products can cause extreme pain for infants as can other spices while you are breast feeding. Babies digestive system are too under developed to tolerate oil oil until the can start eating solid foods. You should try limiting these things from your diet to see if this will help John Franco. Another recommendation would be work with a Dietician, even online, for food recommendations. If you Dr. Is not willing to prescribe a low dose of a medication for John Franco, consider getting another Dr. A soy based formula is an excellent source for infants who have significant GI problems instead of breast feeding. The painting can wait, your physical and mental health are far more important.
Pharmaceuticals are what most likely caused the problem in the first place, they had her on antibiotics when she first was breast feeding him which then transfers to the baby and messes up their gut, not to mention if given any other medications or vaccines💉
More meds is the LAST thing they need 🤦🏼♀️
And soy baby formula? NO ✖️
You are truly amazing. I don’t know how you do it all, especially with an infant. I hope you find the key to helping Gianfranco feel better soon.
Kylie and Guido my heart goes out to you both and I am praying Gian Franco begins to get better and the crying becomes less and less for all of you. You are both amazing parents and in time this will pass my dear ones.
I always seem to get emotional when I see and watch your videos. When I see you holding your sweet baby, the little snippets of him brings tears to my eyes as I’m so touched by the tenderness and love. It brings back so many memories of my son and relatives with him as he grew into a remarkable man, husband and father.
The color of your bathroom is beautiful and when it’s totally finished you will be so very happy.
Sending you loads of love, softest hugs for Gian Franco, and you wonderfully parents.
I enjoyed seeing the pasta being made and it looked lovely being served at the end. Lovely music too. ❤❤❤❤
Aww… thank you. 🥰
It's a very touching post. You touch my heart 💓 with your souvenirs and appreciation. Thks.
The music in that post is very beautiful to. I adore this soft ambiance.
100%
Kylie you’re doing amazing❤. I didn’t have the strength you have when I became a 1st time mother to my only child who is now 29 yrs old. It will get better like your previous comments have said🫶🏼. My daughter cried so much due to the same issues Gian Franco is experiencing but I know you will figure it out sweet Kylie. The Lord bless you, guide you and gives you lots of wisdom and strength to help you navigate the beautiful blessings of motherhood 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
I’m glad you’re getting the baby to some specialist. I’m sure they will figure out what is going on. Because you’re right, it’s not normal. Hopefully it ends up being something simple and it can be addressed quickly.
I know breast feeding is wonderful and it’s usually the best thing for the baby. But, there does come a time when a decision has to be made to do what you have to, for your health. If you continue to get run down, you won’t be able to give him 100%. You may want to consider switching him to formula or something. He has had the first 4 months which is wonderful. But at this stage it might be better for you both to give formula a try.
I had a friend who was going through something similar with her baby and herself. At 4 1/2 months she had to switch to formula. And it ended up working out very well. She was able to get rest and get stronger and the baby even began to do better. They weren’t sure if there was something in her milk that was causing some issues or if the baby just wasn’t able to digest it normally or what. But he got significantly better once he went on formula. So, if you have to make that decision. Don’t be hard on yourself like you aren’t doing what’s best for him. Because actually, it can be the best thing for you both. Hang in there, this won’t last forever. I’m so sorry things have been hard. And now your parents are gone so there’s no extra help😢. Just get some rest whenever you can and get your strength back. I’m sending you lots of prayers and good energy.
Also, please don’t feel like you HAVE to post. I’m sure everyone will understand if you need to take time to get yourself and the baby (sorry, not sure of the spelling so I’m saying baby) healthy, we will totally understand ! Do whatever you need to, to get yourself back on track. We love you and we will understand. 🙏🏼❤️
That is what happened to me when I was a baby, no breast milk and had to go on formula. The milk gave me great pains and a lot of crying, once on the formula, I improved and no issues.
Absolutely! Completely agree with every word!
You Kylie are so beautiful and I am sure you are the best mother and wife. I love, love, your channel. Thanks so much for keeping it going!
The pasta session is magical
If only you had a KYLIE in your life...❤❤❤God bless you and your family...🙏🙏❤️
Beautiful vlog as always! I was so sad, though, to hear Gianfranco is still struggling with his tummy troubles. So difficult to listen to your little one screaming and feeling so helpless. My heart goes out to you, dear Kylie. There is much research being done about the body-mind connection. You and G both went through such a traumatic birth experience at that horrific torture chamber hospital. Hopefully time will heal all. You are an amazing, amazing mum! He is surrounded by loving dad, family, and friends. Holding him the way you do is perfect, and frankly, heroic. Love you all!
I so understand! Two of my babies had colic and gastric reflux . I discovered “Gripe Water “ which is all natural liquid drops that were originally from England . They worked rapidly, dissolving the gas pain in their tiny tummies , bringing us all relief !
Advice from a mother of 3 breast fed babies . Outside of seeing a specialist for him , also check your milk. What you eat goes directly to him. With my third child his older brother only 17 months older (toddler) I wasn’t getting enough sleep, I was stressed out , had anxiety happening and it directly effected my milk . My milk wasn’t producing high fat content. It’s like the difference between whole milk and skim. So my milk wasn’t keeping him full he was wanting to eat sooner , and it wasn’t filling him up. I had to used a supplement. But it was all due to being stressed and not enough sleep. So please keep that in mind . Truly you have to much going on, and you are trying to get back into your old self and routine. But it could be to soon for all that . Your body is still going through so many hormonal changes and adjustments still. That is why they sleep when the baby is sleeping.. your body need that rest to recoup . Sending prayers and good vibes your way.
Sleep training is a wonderful thing. It made such a difference when we started. The babies learn to self soothe, which is good for them and you. To put them in their crib and say goodnight and they go to sleep on their own is amazing.
You are an amazing woman in every sense of the word. Your little one is so fortunate to have such a dedicated mother and it will be the base for him in his future and your enjoyment will be multiplied because of your desire at doing whatever you are able to do in accomplishing that. Your love is shining through all your exhaustion regardless. Bless you and love will be with you in all you do. Thank you for sharing and being that steadfast strong and loving individual that you are.
Kylie, I am the mother of two grown children and the baby whispering nanny of 8 little ones from 2 weeks to 3 years old. I still have no idea what’s really ever happening but one thing that seemed to help with pain was to try nursing the baby in a more upright position. This kept the air bubbles at the top which burps more easily alleviated. I have a great deal of experience but don’t ever consider my self an expert on any child. Just a thought. You and Guido are incredible people and amazing parents. Keep the faith - With so much love!💞💕
Kylie - I was my mother’s first born & her stories of me included long hours & many months of my constant crying. Colic is hard for a new little body. My mother’s favorite story is how she had to lay me down in my crib, still crying, she could give no more & lay on her bed in utter exhaustion. She fell asleep & so did I! Much to come raising a human being. Bless you for doing such a great job!
so sweet that guido would film what he could for you. I pray for your baby and that he is healthy and blessed!
Listening to you talk about your babies sleep habits, unrest and need for consistent schedule brought me so far back in time. I remember trying everything to settle my sons tummy issues, being endlessly exhausted, weighing different options to bring about a more harmonious balance to our lives. So much worry and hours of research and contemplation. We absolutely want to do our best! It all worked out. It always does. The next time your out in public, look around you…most seem to have found a workable sleep schedule. They all appear to be potty trained. They all had different paths. I think more important then a strict schedule of wake/sleep is to help your child self sooth. He may not nap every day but he will have quiet time to himself. It’s okay for him to express discontent by crying. Not soul shattering sobs for hours but fussing for a half hour should be allowed. This is a phase that will work out in time. Obviously this is all assuming any medical condition has been ruled out. What I can tell you is that rough period did not indicate his temperament. Once we got thru that he was one of the most chill little kids. He’s 28 now, sleeps thru the night, potty trained, still chill and has a very successful life and career. Proud mama here. Lol
Thank you for the lovely and interesting video. So sorry that you have all been unwell. Very tough when you have a young baby and experiencing very little sleep. Your experience is almost a carbon copy of mine with your son. It’s so difficult to go through, as it’s easy to think it’s something you must be eating or doing wrong. Like John Franco my son was so happy and fine when he wasn’t experiencing the pain. As others have also said it’s so likely that he will grow out of this phase as his digestive system matures. I remember well it does feel as if it will never end when you are in the middle of it! All I ever wanted was a good nights sleep and many of my friends had babies who slept for hours with no problems. So hard! As things improve and there is no stomach pain, it will be so rewarding and amazing how you will see the happy and calm side of your child develop more and more. You are doing such an amazing job, especially with all the renovations going on around you, plus your own hard work painting etc. The bathroom is looking stunning and will be completely beautiful when finished. It’s always worth getting the colour right, how ever hard and irritating it may be. ❤
Hang in there Kylie. You’ve got this! My mother always used to tell me this to shall pass. While my son literally cried for the first year of his life I wouldn’t change anything. He always seemed hungry and unhappy but did eventually grow out of it. He went through stages where he would get a reprieve though. That gave me time to recoup. It was exhausting. I did go on to have two more beautiful boys and they are my world. They are now soon to be 38, 35, and 28. Two are married and the youngest recently got engaged. Boys seem to have a more sensitive tummy at least in our case that is so. They all still have digestive problems, but so does my husband. They grow up far to fast. You will treasure they days though. The bond you are making with him is unbreakable. So I say to you this to shall pass. You will get through this to. Best wishes always from the State of Ohio, USA!
You say you are always so tired but boy you never look it!.....you are a beautiful woman inside and out Kylie ❤ to you and your wee family
Kylie, you will of course do what you think is best, but with your pediatrician's advice you can choose a good formula and allow Guido to take two of the feedings. Give Guido a chance to bond with baby, too. You can still breast feed the other feedings and be able to take a much needed break. It will make for stronger more restful days. If you had been sicker last week, the adjustment would have had to be made with little practice.
“Good formula”? That doesn’t exist.
@@RinaValentina the mental and physical health of mother and baby must be taken into consideration. Yes, breast is best where possible but if it means baby and as a result Mom, will be happier with another option which includes formula, then I believe you should consider it. My very healthy 18 year old went onto formula after two weeks of breastfeeding hell and she was a different child.
@@RinaValentina I disagree....Both of mine were bottle fed. No colic ever--no endless crying or pain, and they both started sleeping solidly through the night when only a few weeks old. I got all the rest that I needed--and they thrived, and were (and are) very healthy. All accomplished on formula, from their day of birth.
@@dragonfly9209 totally agree. There are some very good formulas out there now.
I agree with this statement. As I am breastfeeding myself and tonight my almost 4 month old was screaming because my breast milk wasn’t enough, so I supplemented with formula. Breast milk supply isn’t always consistent. He is most likely staying hungry.
I'm catching up on your posts! Pleaseeeee like everyone says, put your health and your family always! You DON'T need to sacrifice your sleep and health even more to film and edit these videos! And I'm amazed at the quality of your videos in spite of all that you have to do! Please take care of yourself and your precious family!
Less than two days after our daughter's four month shots, she got a bad case of diarhhea and started throwing up. I was giving her a combination of breast pumped milk and formula since I didn't make enough. Although later I discovered that more sleep helped me produce more. Later, we realized she had all sorts of allergies but I always knew when it started. Toxic injections cause all sorts of problems including a compromised intestinal lining. Breastmilk is very helpful and a loving mom.
So true sadly
In agreement NO SHOTS 💉
They do indeed
kYLIE, take care of yourself. Seeing you I remember when I was breastfeeding my newborn son and working 9.5 hrs a day had me almost in tears needing to sleep. Hang in there, but dont force yourself. Lovely background music, I love that song.
What beautiful hands making the pasta, such love on display. Reminds me of my grandmother's hands making bread when I was young. Oh how I would love to hold those hands again. Thank you for those memories Kylie and for another beautiful video of your world. God bless your sweet baby and give you peaceful rest.
I feel the same way..... this made me think of my Italian Grandma Sadie ......always in the kitchen cooking. She was an amazing cook and I loved her so much
Dear Kylie, you are an amazing mother and wife. Just want to say, there is no shame at all in using formula. The mother’s health matters just as much as the baby’s health. It is not a failure to use formula, if even just to supplement so Guido can feed him at night so you can sleep 4-5 hours instead. There are some amazing formulas out there. I had some major problems with my back and neck with our fourth baby and was so depleted and exhausted. When I switched to formula I felt so much better - my body could finally recover and heal and my husband could help me so much more. Formula can be a life saver for both mother and baby. I wish you all the best - it’s such a hard situation!
Kylie... my daughter is a pediatrician in the US; she has a lot of babies who do this the first months. She says they have acid reflux and prescribes a pediatric dose of Prilosec (a proton pump inhibitor) and it helps immensely. She had one of her own like this. EXHAUSTING and very frustrating. Maybe you've already talked to your Dr about this but she told me to let you know. We feel so bad for you❤️❤️❤️
My eldest also had this issue.
There are so many expressing their warm feelings of support to you I am sure, that I do not join in that often. But watching this episode, I just felt compelled to share. To hear you say that this was the hardest experiences you have gone through yet, after hearing so many of the challenges that have faced you, is astounding, and just breaks my heart to hear it. The concept of "fair," it would seem, just does not exist in our universe. And I am not being funny when I say this.
The good thing to see is the buoyant good humor and inner strength that you and Guido share. And to hear you say again and again that your boy is a very happy baby, "except when he is terrible pain" is by turns good and also (again) heartbreaking. I know of young mothers whose little ones meet all sorts of challenges (food allergies, excema, etc.) in the first months of life, and nothing thereafter is ever as difficult as those early months. I hope that for you and Guido. But in the meantime, you know there is so much love and concern and support out here for you. If we could in any way spare you from one moment of distress (and one night of sleeplessness!), you know we would all do it. God bless. And thank you for sharing so much with us.
P.S. Regarding the colors for the bathroom walls. Certainly number 3 seemed to be the charm. What my wife and I did when we were choosing colors for painting rooms in our house was to buy small tester pots of as many as 6 different colors we thought we liked, paint a square of each color on the same wall (but far enough apart that they wouldn't influence each other), and then look at them over the course of at least a day before we chose which color to then invest purchasing several gallons of paints. Perhaps others have already shared this method, but this worked well for us.
Don't worry about the sweetheart he will eventually be fine
You are simply fantastic parents
Kylie you are a beautiful perfectionist
Beautiful video as usual. Kylie, I hope you can get some well needed rest. If anybody is looking for that beautiful song that plays at the end it's called La Llorona...I had to ask my Peruvian mother in law if she knew the name and she did. She told me her grandmother used to sing it all the time
Hi Kylie. I feel really sympathetic to the troubles you are having with your baby. My son was an absolute nightmare baby. From the day he was born he struggled to feed and wouldn’t sleep for more than 20 minutes every two hours. I thought I was going to die with exhaustion, especially as my daughter was only 14 months. She wasn’t a bad sleeper but was a very early riser, up by 5 am every day and neither of my kids would nap in the afternoon for very long. I felt so jealous of my friends whose babies were mostly sleeping through the night, only waking up around 7am and napping for several hours in the afternoon. I tried everything including medication but nothing helped and I didn’t feel comfortable with all of the stuff they expected me to give him. The thing that helped the most was when my son was around 5 months I took him to an osteopath for a few sessions. He did some gentle manipulation including holding him upside down by his feet. I also saw a Bowen therapist and she told me that my son was mostly likely suffering from PTSD from his birth experience and couldn’t move past it. She suggested we treat him homeopathically for shock and trauma the same as they would treat a car crash victim. So I started giving the remedies including Rescue Remedy and some others she mixed up for me. After two or three weeks I can honestly say that it made such a noticeable difference. He was definitely calmer and started sleeping for much longer periods and after two months he was sleeping through the night several times a week and by one year he was sleeping normally and also napping in the day. Please note that I was always very strict on routine from the start, always putting them down at 7pm, feeding on a regular schedule etc but it would all go pear shaped no matter what I did. I gave up on breastfeeding as he wouldn’t suckle well but formula didn’t help with the sleeping despite what the doctors said. Looking back, the one thing I would say is trust your natural instincts and be gentle on yourself. It will get better.
When we have uphill with our kids, just stay in the quiet place within, in gratitude and keep going with a smile in our heart ,this too will pass, even at 74 yrs old i have to remind myself of this ❤
The bathroom is looking LOVELY. Really enjoyed watching those olive trees go in, wow! Things are coming together so beautifully. I hope you are all able to heal and feel better very soon 💗
Babies are a blessing & a challenge all at once. You are doing all you can with love & good care. Once this baby age has passed....you will enjoy Motherhood even more. You are strong and creative in so many ways. Viewers look forward to your next vlog of daily life. By the way, the bathroom is gorgeous....perfect color & tile choices. ❤
I agree, baby probiotics can make a tremendous difference! Thank you for the video and the music, I love La Llorona!
You always have such a Positive attitude Kylie.......And your painting skills will be amazing by the time you have finished....... I wish the best for you all.... :-))) xxxx
I feel for you. My babies nursed every hour or two for a long time. None of them slept through the night till they were three. It was draining and exhausting. Add being sick and you have a nightmare.
I hope the specialist can give you some answers and solutions for GianFranco. You are amazing painting in the middle of all that. Take care of yourself! ❤
♥️♥️♥️ So sweet, Siobhan. Thank you.
My son was the same and didnt sleep through until 3 yrs also. I hope Kylie can find some solutions with Gianfranco, it may help other mums in the same situation.
💗💗💗
I am praying for you and the baby! May Jesus strengthen you and carry you through this. I’m praying Gianfranco will be healed and well as soon as possible. Sending you a great big hug Kylie! You will get through this.
You make watching paint dry fun. 🎨🖌️😘
Hello Kylie. I'm a new subscriber ( also named Kylie coincidentally 😊) I'm happy to have found your beautiful content. The beauty of the land and your home, the food, your wholesome family content. All just so lovely. Thankyou for sharing your life and the effort you go to at such a challenging time for you. As a mumma of boys close in age, both who I breastfed, I can remember both the difficulty and the joys when I look at you. You're doing amazingly. It will get easier. I know you know this. But sometimes it's comforting to hear it from someone who has done it. Xx
Thank you, Kylie
Wow - those olive trees near the pool are spectacular! It’s going to be a beautiful place to sit and relax a something to look forward to. You’re not a machine - take care of yourself - I had a nightmare experience with my son. Guido would love to help feed Gianfranco if you decide to give him a bottle. I was hesitant but once I realised I could have a sleep and someone else could feed my son it was such a relief. I did a mix of expressed milk and formula - it takes so much time to pump! Take care.
Hi Kylie, your bathroom paint looks to peachy to me..stay strong, your doing a fabulous job as other , wife and friend ..❤️🇨🇦❤️
I actually liked the first creamy paint color! My son is 28 years old now but I remember very vividly the struggles of lack of sleep and trying to do so much with a tiny new baby. I should have napped when he did because for months he slept 3 hour clips around the clock! Your home is coming along so beautifully. Thank you for sharing another beautiful video.💕
I was quite moved by your struggles with your babies comfort, I was reminded of my own parenting journey, my son did not have an easy transition into settling into earth side lol your plight as a mom brought up so much for me I really thought I had recconciled he is now 31yrs lol. You have had so much advice so I will just say "this too shall pass" if the Dr's are happy that all is well (fabulous) then it really is a tough wave for you to ride and I feel for you. I felt like all these other mothers had is so easy so what am I doing wrong? this thinking doesn't help, changing my son from breast to replacements didnt help, however in time he thrived once he grew into himself was up and mobile he was content. I thought it was me so all I'm going to say to you sweet heart is it is not you ok... he will grow through this!.... and please sleep when he does give yourself that!
Feeding on demand is absolutely correct but with my second and third child I learned to "delay" the feeding with a little "playtime" between mum and babe. Babies don't wake up only for food so distancing the meals and getting into a routine can normalise things. Every baby is unique. Best wishes Kylie.
Thank you for giving us this beautiful episode! It brings me peace this late night and gives strength to do what makes me happy. Good night!🌟
Four words, dear Kylie. This too shall pass. ❤
Pain starts with emotion, the body keeping count. It then becomes physical. Do work on yourself and it will heal him. Sending love ❤
It won't be like this forever m'dear. Sending heartfelt super healing, strength and love to you all....and to everyone else having a tough time too!💞
I feel so badly for you, I’m glad you’re going to see a specialist because something is definitely not right. It just sounds like he’s just uncomfortable too🙏 much of the time. Praying you get answers.
Mmmmm...fresh hand made ravioli!
My heart goes out to you young mother! An old naturopathic remedy is a castor oil pack or plaster. You can find directions online. Basically you soak a flannel cloth in caster oil, warm with your hands and place on babies belly, then keep warm with water bottle, heat pad, rice sock, or even your own skin.
I just wanted to put my 2 cents in. The baby is 4 months old and eats every 2 hours. It seems to me that he is hungry. My first child a boy was eating so much and I was nursing the his tummy was distended. My mother's neighbor suggested that he needs some food and to start with steamed puree carrots. It is easy to make. It does not introduce a dairy product and carrots are easy to digest. If he has longer times between meals it is easier for you and he might sleep better because he is not hungry. Or you can try a very loosely liquid rice with th carrots. But I would try one food at a time to check for allergies. Hope this helps I know how frustrating it can be when your new baby is fussy.
My heart goes out to you… being sick but having to care for the baby and your husband. Hope you get well soon and recover the energy to get on with your myriad of tasks. Praying for you and your baby.🙏💕💕💕🙏
Kylie, I am in such admiration for you. You've been unwell, sleep deprived and Gianfranco is having some issues and yet you still manage to do all that work in the bathroom and produce yet another amazing video. The trees are fab and I really hope you like the third colour. I do hope the appointment on Tuesday gives you some answers and maybe Gianfranco will do better when he can start having solids. I also hope some of the tips on this thread will work. Hopefully you all get some rest this week to help build up your immune systems and keep well. Thank you for posting; it really is appreciated!
Thank you, Ann. 😘😘
Oh Kylie as I watched this it was so relatable. I knew you would get a lot of advice from all the wonderful experienced mothers and grandmothers. I didn’t think I would add to it. But it was so difficult to watch you I of course am compelled to try to help you ,as a mother of 4 and a grandmother of 3 I’ve learned a lot from trial and error. I nursed all my children and my firstborn was very similar to what you are experiencing . So here goes. Keep hydrated water is best. Everything you eat he eats. So a bland diet for now. No alcohol. I’m sure you are doing baby massage ,warm baths etc. Yes when every one’s sick it’s so hard to take care of yourself , it’s all part of it. What can I say. I was the same , I always used nap time moments (and I say moments because one of my children only needed moments) to get things done. But in certain circumstances you need to let it all go and get at least a few hours sleep. I use to have to bring my son into the bathroom and sit him in his little seat just to take a shower and play peekaboo in between shampoo and rinse…. Desperate. I noticed when he nursed at the end of your vlog he was nursing well but he seemed a bit restless. But every baby is different . I’m sure he’s fine and as he starts moving more on his own this too shall pass. You will get through this. A few minutes of meditation for yourself can help . Spring is coming you can take nice walks with him in the fresh air and it will be lovely. Please don’t worry about your vlogs your family and your health comes first. How lovely of your neighbor to invite you as she made ravioli . ❤️
So glad to hear from you Kylie. Keep us all invigorated with your work! Thank you ❤
😘😘😘
I am so sorry all of you have been so ill. So stressful for all, such long constant crying. Trust all will improve.
Ohh Kylie, thank you for blessings us with another beautiful episode 🙌🏻 I hope that you and your family are all well. Be well and stay safe 😘
Thank you! You too! ♥️
I am so sorry you are still suffering, I will pray for you and your little one.
Kylie, and Guido, I think I am in good company when I say I think you two are doing a wonderful job of being mama and daddy, it's tough, and sometimes, especially. Brava!
Ps. For the life of me, I can't imagine how you do this without at least a loving bestie, coming to help, to take over the minestrone soup cooking when Jean Franco cries; to listen and hug you when you are absolutely whomped. Maybe you are too far out in the country? I'd be right there for you if I was your bestie and in the same country! I hope your lovely parents can return soon. We mamas (and papas) need our loving friends, our support crew. I wish that for you😍
Thank you so much. 😊😊😊
@@KylieFlavell 🌺 I added a PS. 😀
The point is, tooday is my birthday. So nice that we've met, in some kind of way. Take care :).
If you are nervous ( who wouldn't be with a crying baby) they can pick up on that and be upset. I had one that nursed and cried, The Dr. told me to give her a little baby rice cereal and it soothed her tummy and was so much better. Is he just on breast milk? Or do you have a baby bouncer or swing that would entertain him. I feel for you. I had four little ones under 6 years old. I will be praying for him and for you and Guido.
Everyone told me before my son was born to sleep every time he slept and I too thought this was crazy. I didn’t take the advice. Well, he was a very colicky baby and after he finally started sleeping through the night at 14 months- I was so burned out it took me napping every weekend for a few years to catch up on all the sleep I lost and to regain my sanity lol
Best of luck with Gianfranco's doctor's visit, Kylie. The bathroom is looking wonderful.
We love you Kylie!
You are an amazing mother, passionate and so hard working.
Your attitude towards life, is so positive even though you had no sleep.
Thank you for making time for the rest of us 🙏🏼
I’ve been watching you while running on the treadmill in the am! You make me feel so invigorated!!❤ ps I will never get tired of watching you and your beautiful family and content!!
Really? Thanks Michelle! You might love a video I’m working on sharing soon, which is all about running and healthy eating! 🏃♀️
Cannot wait! I’ve been on a Kylie binge!❤️ you said in your question and answer “ maybe you will get tired of my content “ and I thought ummm noooo never! Your videos take me to a whole other place!🙏🏻
Hang in there amica. This part is really hard and we promise, one day soon his cries stop and it all becomes a faint memory. You have many mamas out here in cyber land rooting for you.
Beautiful intro and ending song 🎼
Colour is stunning almost like a real plaster
Just my opinion but I think you need a darker warmer color on the walls to make that BEAUTIFUL s stone and terra cotta POP ! I would go a darker , almost a warm tan to compliment it all ! Just saying ❤️It really looks tooooo pink and toooo light , sooooo I hope you are all getting well ! So very hard with the baby ! Look at you4 diet ! Garlic and onions and broccoli could be the issue ? Take care and hang on 🌈❤️🌈❤️🌈👍👍👍♥️
There is a lady from Australia named Barbara O’Neill. She’s a nurse who went on to learn naturopathic remedies. She’s on RUclips and as a nurse I can tell you she’s spot on. Hope you get some sleep and the baby feels better.
Beautiful job. Get your rest, please 🌠💕 I love it, a rested mom helps everyone. A tired mom, that was me too, I remember how disappointed it was when my babies only took one nap a day!
I thought the same thing.....brought me back to my Italian grandma in the kitchen always cooking. She was a love and I miss her.
Sorry I replied to the wrong comment. 😂
My first baby cried in the way it sounds your baby is crying. Other mothers asked if I talked to the pediatrician. Yes of course, I tried everything I knew or was told. My best advice to you is to do what you think is best and doesn't go against what you think is right for you and him. The exhaustion is unexplainable but it won't last forever. The only time I've regretted anything I tried was when I followed advice that I felt was not right but I was desperate. I found co-sleeping for the first several months to be the easiest because I could sleep while baby nursed. I'm so sorry this is happening but it will get better soon xoxox
I bet things will improve in the next couple months.....you are doing an amazing job Kylie!
Kylie, you are incredible. Everyone of course has their own opinions, and you need to do what is best for you, Gianfranco and Guido. We can all offer suggestions and assumptions and presumptions but know everyone one of us who has subscribed, simply loves you for you. Gianfranco will get through this, hopefully sooner than later. I so appreciate when you post and allow us the privilege of having a peek see at your beautiful life. Hoping your Parents are well too. Hugs to you all. ♥️
I'm sure all remedies that are suggested are valid in their own right. So I am going to add my two cents. Make sure you are not taking vaccines, shots other meds because it's in your milk then into your baby. Not too many people will tell you this. Also changing to giving breast milk then alternating to maybe another milk like old fashion carnation and carol syrup. I started my daughter on this as an infant. She is 42 now. I heard goats milk was an alternative. The reason I suggest these things is because sometimes some babies do not take well to their mothers milk. This is just food for thought. Peace and Wellness to you all.
I agree, I really hope she isnt giving the poison to GF, but I dont know if they have a choice in Italy. Either way, she cant comment on it because of youtubes guidelines, but I imagine she knows as she researched so much and I think it was in a few of the books she reviewed. Yea, the Dtap/tdap scream is a real thing, except its with all of them because of how the aluminum adjuvants have an affinity for nerve tissue. Dr Exley and Dr Sherri Tenpenny ;)
Goats milk is mainly an A2 protein where as cows milk (at least in most countries) is the A1 protein. I just saw an A2 formula on the market last year here in the states, so they are starting to catch on to why the goats milk idea was working for so many.
@teresitastidem2846 - Have heard of several new mothers meeting with issues, their own and baby, both pre-during and post birth and due to something 'different'. It was a difficult scenario in Italy, and Kylie being very health conscious generally and throughout pregnancy and aware of good health in this regard. Hope that this beautiful family remained 'safe' and will recover their health soon.
Totally agree...you do your research on everything else...do your research on the vac cines. Stop getting them and try to clean the poison out of your system
In agreement with you❤
Love, love, love! The pinkish tiles above the sink …they are just perfect.
Seems to be going on longer than the colic mine had. It lasted four months with each child. I hope things get better soon
I'm glad you are taking the baby to a specialist, because you are right that it can't be colic at this point. The bath has transformed so far from what you started with!
I was supposed to have a surgery as a baby for something involving my acid reflux. I hope you find the answers because you are right, there must be something wrong
Kylie, I just wanted to send a little note of encouragement to say you seem like a wonderful caring mom and wife. I too had a first born that was a difficult sleeper that lasted a year plus. We tried everything, read books, sought advice from our pediatrician etc. All I can say is this too will pass. As the saying goes days are long but years are short when raising children. Sending prayers and hugs.
The baby could be bothered by construction fumes, dust, and you could have mold in the home you may need an air purifier in or near wear he sleeps.
Picolissimo!!! Sooo cute! You, your family, rennovations and films are simply BEAUTIFUL Kylie! They remind me of Italy life, my hubby is Sardinian and we have lived in Sardinia before (also Fiumicino on the continent etc) but now we are back in Australia (where I am from)...this reminds me of good memories though indeed :-) you are super mamma - doing SO well!
God bless and protect you and your family, in Jesus name
I was wondering if you were all ok ..glad you are all on the mend. Make sure you are looking after yourself and don't overdo things. Hope all goes well at the appointment for little Gianfranco.
Lovely video as always..Greetings from Lazio x
The trick for choosing paint is to paint samples on the wall and watch them evolve throughout the day.
Those red and white tiles are goreous!!
Have you considered a swing to use during the day? The weight of carrying him is going to wear you down and you need all this energy for milk. He is growing fabulously!!! 😘
Do you mean to leave him in or an adult swing for me to sit in and rock him? I do have a Bjorn bouncer chair thing, which I sometimes put him in.
@@KylieFlavell No Kylie, they have baby swings with four legs you put your baby inside of (Google "Baby Swing" ) and you can time it for how long you want to it run. It's portable as well so you can move it from room to room. It really helps soothes your baby as it's almost similar to riding in a car, so the baby is so content and often falls asleep. You really should consider getting one, this way it will free up some time for you to do other things instead of holding Gianfranco all of the time. Blessings from Virginia, USA
@@KylieFlavell a freestanding swing that has a machine that rocks him back and forth. It's like 4 feet tall and has a motorized mobile of butterflies spinning or whatever. There are some that aren't ugly. That's when you cook and shower. You also need to drive so the baby falls asleep in the car. I used to drive my baby to the park, so she could sleep and then I'd sleep in the car while she slept. The first time I heard you say breastfeed every two hours, I just pictured the pain of a baby eating a Thanksgiving dinner all day long. Please let him digest. I think it is 5 times a day at 4 months old. What are those evil Italian maternity nurses advising? Also, my brother was allergic to wool as a baby. I'm an American with an Italian husband, and those Italian baby clothes were fashionable and so uncomfortable. Regarding the sleep book, just like a kitten lost in a garage or a caveman baby left in the woods, babies are programmed to cry so you can find them and rescue them. My baby co-slept until after she was walking and right from the first day, she slept more than 20 hours a day. Sorry, advice from Internet strangers is the worst, but you keep suffering every week! We all love you and are just trying to make things better.
@@dianam9848 Very true words. Always beware of advice from internet strangers, but as a mom of 2 myself as well as a licensed nurse...feeding every two hours is what you do with premature or really small newborns. Not a 4 month old. Time to add some formula, no point in totally drain yourself, especially when the baby is not content.
@@KylieFlavell A baby cradle/swing. Our other baby boy had high metabolism and ate every 2 1/2 hours like clockwork. Like all my babies, he gained a pound a week.
Great job the color looks amazing. Hang in there mommy. As a grandmother l remember those times of endless feedings. But l loved the closeness it gave me and my babies. It gets better with every month.
