Thank you so much for making these videos Fleur. I was pregnant at the same time as you but sadly lost the baby in September 2017. I couldn't watch any of your baby videos for a long time. Then I fell pregnant again in January 2018 and finally I have a 3 week old baby girl. I've spent the past few months watching your videos and have found them very useful. We've bought loads of baby bits based on your views and recommendations. Some more high end and also lots of the little bits too. My baby girl was enjoying the black and white book again just yesterday. : ) Keep up the good work. xxx
My mother has this theory that leakages and explosions have to do with the shape of each baby/families of babies, so she started with pampers...except for some reason they gaped on all of us, as did every other brand she tried, and all we could fit and not explode out of was Huggies :P So we were Huggies babies, because that's what didn't explode.
You look so gorgeous! I love your hair :) I'm don't have a baby but I adore your videos and I'm really happy and grateful that you share your experience as a new mom. It's very interesting and exciting for me so please keep on uploading more videos dedicated to babies, your experience as a mom. It's exciting. xo
I NEEDED this video SO MUCH.! I’m so overwhelmed with all the random newborn lists. I have no idea what else besides pampers and bottles we will need. 🤦🏼♀️💕
Kate's Ordinary Life I have a 10 month old son & was EXACTLY the same. Overwhelmed. Now that we’re expecting our second, I can say that you don’t (REALLY) need much more than that. Plus sleepers & swaddles Or you’ll discover what you need as you go. You will be fine. Fun to plan & imagine though, isn’t it?!
So true! We are sticking with the basics and figure that anything we need we can always buy later. For now we have the basic baby room, bed, chair, changing table. And as for stuff we have clothes, loads of wash clothes, loads of muslin swaddle blankets in different sizes, the things for making the bed, sheets.... A blackout curtain. Basic bottles we got for free, and a brush to clean them. Just in case breast feeding goes badly. Some diapers and free sample products for the changing table. A bath tub and thermometer and bath stuff. A lot of the stuff we got from friends so it was nice to not have to chose one. We do still need a car seat and that has been stressful because there are so many kinds and combinations and prices. For us what has made it a lot less stressful was using a project management tool called trello to organize all the list so we both have the same list and can make notes about things on the list like what type or were to buy. We have a to do list for things like hanging the curtains. A shopping list for things we still need and a list of things we already have. When friends ask if we still need anything we have the list ready to go.
Girls, thank you so much for your support and tips. It REALLY helps. I think i need to relax and stop stressing over these things.You are absolutely right, we will see what we need as we go...I think all the "glam isntagram moms-to-be" who have it all super prepared and ready kinda made me feel miserable. Gotta stop following others and focus on "us" right now. phew xoxo
fleur!!! could you maybe do a video on what to get a new mother to look after herself with after having a baby? my sister is expecting and everyone (me included lmao) is getting her gifts for the baby but i also really want to get her a basket of goodies for herself too. like oils and hand creams and other nice things to treat her for when the baby comes. just looking for ideas on what she might want or need the most. 💕
As a new mum I'd say the best thing you can give her is your time! Sorry if that isn't quite what you are looking for but the friends who have come round with healthy and delicious lunch for me and then looked after baby while I had a nap/a shower are the best thing ever!
Thanks so much for doing this video. I’m nearly 12 weeks with my 1st and like you have already watched so many videos on RUclips BUT as I’ve followed your channel for years it feels like I’ve got advice from a friend in a similar place!
Here I am watching a video about essentials for a newborn while I’m a full-time uni student, a decade away from having any babies, who’s supposed to write an anatomy and physiology final tomorrow. Priorities.
I’m just under 7 weeks away from giving birth (hopefully) and am so not ready as far as buying everything goes but this video really helped with what was actually necessary so thank you Fleur xx
Love watching these types of videos. Even though I have a 10 yr. old n a 7 month old. Find these very interesting. N one tip I can give u for the cradle cap is to put some baby oil on her head n leave it on for a little while before u bathe her. N while the oil is on her head use her baby comb to comb through it. U will c the pieces coming off. Did that with my son n it worked.
You should try Ewan the dream sheep. We recently bought our son home who was born at 24 weeks pregnant. He was in the neonatal intensive care unit for 15 weeks so was used to the busy goings on. He was hard to settle if it was too quite when we bought him home. We tried the dream sheep and settled straight away. He also had colic so it distracted him from the pain x
Agree not going to have or ever will have a baby but I've loved watching your journey :) Yes immune system isn't as built up with C section vs natural birth unfortunately so it might take a bit of time to build up. Best wishes.
I love watching these videos and passing on the knowledge to my pregnant, non-RUclips watching friends! I look like the most wise future godmother ever 😂😂
So helpful! My baby is coming in 2 weeks so this couldn’t have come at a better time. Would love to see/hear about your c section experience and recovery and if you have any recommendations to do with that x
Pregnant with my second bubba and I’m so happy you made this video!!!! I love your reviews and trust your opinion. Thank you from one mom to another 💕👏🏻
I started out using Pampers and our daughter got a huge rash from them. We thought it was a diaper rash, but we were changing her every 30 minutes and it didn't get better. We switched to the natural diapers from Honest Company and she's 6 months old and hasn't had a rash since. It's a bonus that they get delivered to our door😂
Try the Aldi nappies - I found that they are the absolute best- my newborn sleeps 11 hrs and no nappy change and still intact in the morning! €2,99 for a box!! Ŵater wipes are the best also x
Hi Fleur, I had my first baby 2.5 weeks ago, I was in labour for 2 days, it ended in an emergency C - section. Obviously I can't exercise for another 3.5 weeks, I was wondering if you had an exercise routine for post cesarean you could share? Before I was pregnant I was a size 8, obviously my body now is looking VERY different, and I'm worried the c-section has created a 'mummy tummy' that I won't ever be able to get rid of, any tips would be appreciated!
Hi fleur, if little river has cradle cap then dentinox shampoo works great on getting rid of it, my little boys was gone after a few washes of using it x
Thank you for making this video Fleur! I am expecting this August. I m trying just to take notes from your baby/ pregnancy videos before I go out to spend close to my due date.
I’m done having babies, but enjoyed seeing what things were your favs. I’m glad you clip her nails instead of biting them too. There are so many germs in/on the mouth & baby likes to put their fingers in their mouths. It’s not the end of the world if necessary but we instruct patients to clip if possible. A C-section baby will have more mucus than a vaginal birth because it’s not being squeezed thru the birth canal. I agree with Mike thou, lol, I would have to get a bulb syringe. Hugs to you three! Summer xo
I love the Bonds Wondersuit! I'm a paediatric registrar, so have dressed and undressed alot of babies - and these are by far my favourite! Currently 16 weeks pregnant and planning on ordering a bunch!
Nipple shields saved me. I couldn’t have breastfed without them for 3 months as I had an infected nipple :( also using bottles early on was a godsend too. I knew people who held off using them and their babies never took a bottle, whereas mine was happy to take them and even from me or when I was in the room too. I found after that 3 month mark breastfeeding became super easy and I was glad that I didn’t have to sterilise bottles all the time or spend money on formula
Lovely video @fleurdeforce Very informative 👍🏼 Our 1st grandchild is due any day now 💕 Hope your all doing well. You look amazing btw. Love to baby River & hope @mikedeforce is feeling better 😍
Fleur, we got married the same year you and Mike did. I have watched all your pregnancy related videos and was so excited for you. I just found out last week that we are having a baby! I am so excited. Going to start watching all your pregnancy videos again, with not just a midwife mindset, but as a soon to be mummy. Thank you so much for helping us. xxxxxx
onesies that have buttons were invented by someone who has never had a baby and have to change a diaper in the dark in the middle of the night! lol zippers only!!!
I had the same issue with pampers too! We had pooplosions pretty often... I never tried natural but I love Huggies cause it traps the poop for going up my son's back lol
We have an 7 year old and now are 25 weeks pregnant, so much more is on the market now! I adore your reviews especially in this video very thorough. Loving your dedication to your upload schedule too, River has an amazing Mama x
I use NoseFrieda with Sterimar nasal spray ( sea water)for my baby girl since she was born. They make it in stronger version for more congested nose. She likes it and it helps to remove dried up boogies quicker ;) You can buy it in Boots.
Hey Fleur! When babies are born via c-section they don’t get that good squeeze! So they are often a bit more congested. It’s also why the abdominal incision they make looks way to small to fit a baby out of, they are trying to get a bit of that squeeze ☺️💜
Have your BONDS suits arrived now(I assume you prefilmed this), I just did a massive order in their 40% sale and wondered how long you ended up having to wait
i'm not pregnant nor trying to be any time soon, but i find the baby videos so entertaining! i have a question about the cybex carseat, i've heard it's super heavy, how do you manage to carry it around (or you just don't carry it more than absolutely necessary which is in and out of the car to pop onto the buggy wheels)?
I used the medela shields but then it was still painful. Turned out baby had a posterior tongue tie and i finally found someone to cut it and from 8 weeks on i could feed. Had to use pump and bottle a lot and we use the same bottles are you, they are amazing and the glass ones are AMAZING, same model too. good video! x
Not sure if you know of the brand the Honest Company, it's Jessica Alba's company which is available in the states but not sure of in England, but it would be online. All their products are natural and low chemicals with great diapers.
Would u mind updating us on ur delivery with the baby suits. My boy has talipes and they would be ideal for him. But ones on john lewis are really girly. Love ur baby videos xx
I am looking at getting the same car seat but wondering how do you keep her warm when out? Do you use blankets or can you get a foot muff for it (when using outside of the car) thanks xx
We will be using a mixture of Naty (mostly when we are out and about) and cloth nappies (at home). The amount of plastic nappies that pollute the environment is horrendous and I see no reason to add to it once my baby is here. Naty nappies are not only gentler on baby's skin but they're also 100% biodegradable. Not enough people care about the waste they create and though you only mentioned the other benefits of using Naty's nappies, I still find it refreshing to see someone on youtube using something other than pampers. Awesome.
So glad you said this. Our impact on the environment should be the number 1 reason to change from cheaper nappies. If we keep on ruining the environment with all this plastic and non biodegradable rubbish there will be no planet for our children to live on!! 🌼
Just keep in mind that diapers only biodegrade if you compost them or have a way of disposing of them so that they will be composted. If they are thrown in a trash can and/or wind up in a landfill, they likely will still sit around for many, many years like ordinary disposable diapers.
Hi Fleur! Can you talk a bit about your process of trying to get pregnant? Was it easy? Was it more difficult than you thought? How long were you off birth control? Etc etc. my husband and I are trying now (I’m like 2 months into more seriously trying like tracking my ovulating etc) and it’s hard not to let it make me crazy. It’s hard not to get disappointed every month when I get my period and it’s hard to just let nature take its course. Love your videos and watching your family grow, and would love to hear any thoughts you have on your process and your experience of waiting for your time to have your child. Thank you.
Marjorie Gidwitz we are two months into properly trying aswell. I kind thought I was last month and then I get my period. Was so disappointed. But just keep trying.
I’m in the exact same position! 5 months in of monthly disappointment haha I’m now not stressing about it and just going to take each month as it comes
Marjorie Gidwitz I know you didn’t ask me but it took me 4 YEARS to get pregnant this time around. First time was literally the next month. The main thing that helped me was eliminating stress and negative people in my life ! Stress is a killer ! Good luck hun 🌸💐
Sooooo many of these are also MY newborn essentials! And I live all the way over here in New Zealand. You are definitely a mega researcher like myself Fleur! We found all the same things. A kindred spirit. :)
pampers is getting worse and worse as the time pass .. It was a really bad experience when i used them for my baby .. it leaks horribly and it smells really bad ..
I agree! I live in Germany and every drugstore has their own brand of diapers. They are cheaper, don't leak, don't smell so horrible and they also have cute animals on them 😍 i'll never Go Back.
Australia is so behind in the way they do business and ship products. I live in Melbourne and I can generally buy from overseas and get it before I can get something locally (and they charge a fortune). Australia Post is a joke. I hope you get your order soon, Fleur. I don’t know why more companies don’t do the zips, they are so quick and convenient.
I love love love the bonds wondersuits the best investment I live in sydney Australia and they are sold pritty much every department store major supermarkets when they are on sale they are like $14 each don’t know what that is in ponds
The main thing that I’m nervous of with having a baby is, I have a springer spaniel and she’s 5 months at the moment. Obviously she’s my first born baby but I’m worried of how she will react to a baby as she is so energetic. I also don’t want her to feel left out. Anyone experienced this?
Esme Ervine Hi, from my experience health visiting, if the dog and baby are introduced slowly and gradually, like giving the dog a blanket with the baby’s smell on, then you holding the baby where the dog can see but not reach, then closer and so on, it tends to go pretty smoothly. Dogs recognise young children are a bit more delicate. Just go slower and teach your dog not to jump up before the baby arrives if they’re a bit excitable :) hope this helps.
Hello! I’m a vet, there’s a few things you can do to help 1) you need to get the dog used to a new routine now. No sitting on the couch, make sure she is sleeping somewhere that you’re going to be ok with when a baby arrives. 2) you will need to burn off that energy, so two or theee short walks a day will help- three 10 minutes walks will make her more tired than one 30 minute walk because they will get more mental stimulation out of it. 3) food toys like the kong wobbler are essential. They will keep her busy for hours. 4) you need to make sure that the dog understands she is the dog which is silly sounding, but trust me. Things like not being on the couch are essential here, and eating after everyone else in the house has eaten is important. This is even more important because when dogs hit about two years old they really try to figure out where they belong in the family and if they are the boss or not, when this hits your baby will be a year or so old and starting to walk around, so it’s important the dog realises the child is more important than there are, and this can prevent things like the dog growling at the child.
i dont have a child and im not expecting, but its still interesting to me haha :D
I feel the same way lol
Same!
Lucia Amis same
Everyone's pregnant or giving birth on RUclips, and I'm so obsessed with it hahha
Don't have a child but find these video SO interesting haha! x
so do i i love her little clothes she has there so cute x
Aren't they!! x
i'm so jealous why can't we as adults get pretty clothes like baby do x
Primrose Bigwood my husband and i are trying for a baby so i have started watching all these videos.
Best of luck to you guys! x
I'm 39 weeks and watching all of your baby videos on a birth ball! Thanks for the distraction and entertainment
As a baby nursery nurse the natural nappies always came out better than pampers or huggies. Totally agree about bottle brand...
I am just 22 years old. Nowhere close to having a baby but still your baby videos are so adorable! And I love watching them! ♥️
I don’t have a baby and I’m not pregnant but I still loved watching this. Saving all your baby related videos for future reference :-)
Becca8116 me too . Baby dust to u :)
Same!! X.
Not relevant but I LOVE your baby videos 💗
Loved how real this was. Love sleepsuits!
Thank you so much for making these videos Fleur. I was pregnant at the same time as you but sadly lost the baby in September 2017. I couldn't watch any of your baby videos for a long time. Then I fell pregnant again in January 2018 and finally I have a 3 week old baby girl. I've spent the past few months watching your videos and have found them very useful. We've bought loads of baby bits based on your views and recommendations. Some more high end and also lots of the little bits too. My baby girl was enjoying the black and white book again just yesterday. : ) Keep up the good work. xxx
My mother has this theory that leakages and explosions have to do with the shape of each baby/families of babies, so she started with pampers...except for some reason they gaped on all of us, as did every other brand she tried, and all we could fit and not explode out of was Huggies :P So we were Huggies babies, because that's what didn't explode.
You look so gorgeous! I love your hair :) I'm don't have a baby but I adore your videos and I'm really happy and grateful that you share your experience as a new mom. It's very interesting and exciting for me so please keep on uploading more videos dedicated to babies, your experience as a mom. It's exciting. xo

I NEEDED this video SO MUCH.! I’m so overwhelmed with all the random newborn lists. I have no idea what else besides pampers and bottles we will need. 🤦🏼♀️💕
Kate's Ordinary Life I have a 10 month old son & was EXACTLY the same. Overwhelmed. Now that we’re expecting our second, I can say that you don’t (REALLY) need much more than that. Plus sleepers & swaddles Or you’ll discover what you need as you go. You will be fine. Fun to plan & imagine though, isn’t it?!
So true! We are sticking with the basics and figure that anything we need we can always buy later. For now we have the basic baby room, bed, chair, changing table. And as for stuff we have clothes, loads of wash clothes, loads of muslin swaddle blankets in different sizes, the things for making the bed, sheets.... A blackout curtain. Basic bottles we got for free, and a brush to clean them. Just in case breast feeding goes badly. Some diapers and free sample products for the changing table. A bath tub and thermometer and bath stuff. A lot of the stuff we got from friends so it was nice to not have to chose one. We do still need a car seat and that has been stressful because there are so many kinds and combinations and prices. For us what has made it a lot less stressful was using a project management tool called trello to organize all the list so we both have the same list and can make notes about things on the list like what type or were to buy. We have a to do list for things like hanging the curtains. A shopping list for things we still need and a list of things we already have. When friends ask if we still need anything we have the list ready to go.

Thanks Fleur. I'm currently 40+1 and have just added a couple more items to my last minute shop list via your recommendations!!
Your videos are so helpful if you want to buy a present for a new mum.
Thanks so much for doing this video. I’m nearly 12 weeks with my 1st and like you have already watched so many videos on RUclips BUT as I’ve followed your channel for years it feels like I’ve got advice from a friend in a similar place!
Due in July!! Really appreciating all these baby videos!💙💙
Here I am watching a video about essentials for a newborn while I’m a full-time uni student, a decade away from having any babies, who’s supposed to write an anatomy and physiology final tomorrow. Priorities.
Sameeee. Glad to see other people in the same situation haha
lol same here these videos give me baby fever but I know I won't have one until like 10 years
Loved this Fleur! You look so good and confident!! Good Job!
I don't even plan on having kids for a few more years but I love watching these videos. So interesting!
I'm nowhere near ready to be having a child but I still love watching these pregnancy/baby videos :)
I’m just under 7 weeks away from giving birth (hopefully) and am so not ready as far as buying everything goes but this video really helped with what was actually necessary so thank you Fleur xx
Not pregnant. Not expecting. But I really want one of those light projectors
Hahah def get one! I don’t think they are specifically for babys! Xo
I loved these videos, totally agree, I watched these for the whole 9 months, I loved the nose frida, totally still useful, now 4 months later xx
I used the Medela nipple shield and it literally saved me and allowed me to breastfeed my son!
They are SO good! xo
I love that you are doing these types of videos. I’m due in April and I can’t get enough!
Yayyy congrats lovely 💕 xo
I love these videos! I’m due with my little guy in 2 months!
Love watching these types of videos. Even though I have a 10 yr. old n a 7 month old. Find these very interesting. N one tip I can give u for the cradle cap is to put some baby oil on her head n leave it on for a little while before u bathe her. N while the oil is on her head use her baby comb to comb through it.

Baby Gap do a great fleece pramsuit - with fleece inner ☺️
I'm 16 and definitely not going to have a child anytime soon... Still it's fleur i must watch

Coconut oil can get rid of cradle cap! Worked for us - massage on the scalp and let sit for an hour or two then shampoo as usual.
Try the mustela shampoo for cradle cap! Smells lovely too x
Yay thank goodness for this video. I'm due in 5 weeks and this is so helpful. Love from New Zealand
So helpful! My baby is coming in 2 weeks so this couldn’t have come at a better time. Would love to see/hear about your c section experience and recovery and if you have any recommendations to do with that x
Pregnant with my second bubba and I’m so happy you made this video!!!! I love your reviews and trust your opinion. Thank you from one mom to another 💕👏🏻
Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️
Watching this even though I’ve had my two babies xx
I started out using Pampers and our daughter got a huge rash from them. We thought it was a diaper rash, but we were changing her every 30 minutes and it didn't get better. We switched to the natural diapers from Honest Company and she's 6 months old and hasn't had a rash since. It's a bonus that they get delivered to our door😂
Yes to the baby videos!! 🙌🏼
definitely going to try out these recommendations as I'm due with my first little girl in 3 weeks and wanting to breastfeed as well! Thanks Fleur xx
My first granddaughter was born on 11/12/2017.so I am obsessed with all things baby.loved your video.

We use cloth diapers and we find them amazing! But if I had to use disposable ones, I would defo go for the natural ones xxx
I got that whale cup for the bath before my daughter was born and she will be 3 now this June... still use and love it!
Hi fleur, if little river has cradle cap then dentinox shampoo works great on getting rid of it, my little boys was gone after a few washes of using it x
Thank you for making this video Fleur! I am expecting this August. I m trying just to take notes from your baby/ pregnancy videos before I go out to spend close to my due date.
Congrats lovely 😊 hope they help! xo
I don't fall under any of those categories, having a baby or have a baby...BUT I love these baby videos anyways. Love you fleur & river!!

Alice Kelly They won an award too for one of the best nappies in the market
ellie troisi yep they did, it can be alot of snobbery towards them too
Nappy ceam is sooo good iuse this two years for my son, perfect,natural.
Yay to nipple shields they saved me with my son and I went on to feed him for a year 💪🏼 and didn’t need them second time round
I have the same pump, bottles etc and love it too! I have the double one so it saved me some time :)
Lovely video @fleurdeforce Very informative 👍🏼 Our 1st grandchild is due any day now 💕 Hope your all doing well. You look amazing btw. Love to baby River & hope @mikedeforce is feeling better 😍
Been there! It’s great you make this type of videos!!! 👌👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
38 weeks pregnant :) Thanks for the Video.
Looking forward to your New in For March. And hope you do another best and worst makeup products. Like to see Benefit and Bare minerals, Stila,
You should try the Oogie Bear to go with the nose frida! It seems a bit silly but is so great. Just use a bit of saline spray with it if needed.
Fleur, we got married the same year you and Mike did. I have watched all your pregnancy related videos and was so excited for you.
I just found out last week that we are having a baby! I am so excited. Going to start watching all your pregnancy videos again, with not just a midwife mindset, but as a soon to be mummy. Thank you so much for helping us. xxxxxx

Fleur, could you do a video on introducing your baby to your dogs?
This video isn't relevant to me, but I'm still enjoying all your baby videos regardless!
I live in Australia and Bonds is a essential for all babies here. My son live in them and he has the same suit as river.
Hey Fleur!
When babies are born via c-section they don’t get that good squeeze! So they are often a bit more congested. It’s also why the abdominal incision they make looks way to small to fit a baby out of, they are trying to get a bit of that squeeze ☺️💜
Have your BONDS suits arrived now(I assume you prefilmed this), I just did a massive order in their 40% sale and wondered how long you ended up having to wait
Try massaging some coconut oil on her cradle cap if you need a little help softening it up!
i'm not pregnant nor trying to be any time soon, but i find the baby videos so entertaining! i have a question about the cybex carseat, i've heard it's super heavy, how do you manage to carry it around (or you just don't carry it more than absolutely necessary which is in and out of the car to pop onto the buggy wheels)?
Omg loved this!!
I used the medela shields but then it was still painful. Turned out baby had a posterior tongue tie and i finally found someone to cut it and from 8 weeks on i could feed. Had to use pump and bottle a lot and we use the same bottles are you, they are amazing and the glass ones are AMAZING, same model too. good video! x
I love Anna Saccone!!! I'm so happy you like her too
I find pampers nappies rubbish. I’ve tried many and actually find Morrison’s own brand the best!
really informative video for a first time mum, im due in june
Just brought my daughter home from the NICU after 72 days! Thanks for the tips. I love all your mama/baby videos 💚
Not sure if you know of the brand the Honest Company, it's Jessica Alba's company which is available in the states but not sure of in England, but it would be online. All their products are natural and low chemicals with great diapers.
Would u mind updating us on ur delivery with the baby suits. My boy has talipes and they would be ideal for him. But ones on john lewis are really girly. Love ur baby videos xx
I am looking at getting the same car seat but wondering how do you keep her warm when out? Do you use blankets or can you get a foot muff for it (when using outside of the car) thanks xx
Water wipes caused nappy rash on my daughter, think it’s because they are so wet. Tesco pure 🙌🏼 xx
We will be using a mixture of Naty (mostly when we are out and about) and cloth nappies (at home). The amount of plastic nappies that pollute the environment is horrendous and I see no reason to add to it once my baby is here. Naty nappies are not only gentler on baby's skin but they're also 100% biodegradable. Not enough people care about the waste they create and though you only mentioned the other benefits of using Naty's nappies, I still find it refreshing to see someone on youtube using something other than pampers. Awesome.
So glad you said this. Our impact on the environment should be the number 1 reason to change from cheaper nappies. If we keep on ruining the environment with all this plastic and non biodegradable rubbish there will be no planet for our children to live on!! 🌼
Same here 🙂
Just keep in mind that diapers only biodegrade if you compost them or have a way of disposing of them so that they will be composted. If they are thrown in a trash can and/or wind up in a landfill, they likely will still sit around for many, many years like ordinary disposable diapers.
Unfortunately Naty diapers leaked on my son every single time.😖
Please consider going vegan if you care one iota about the environment
Where is all your rings from? That pink one is beautiful.
Kaitlyn Michelle thank you!
Hi Fleur! Can you talk a bit about your process of trying to get pregnant? Was it easy? Was it more difficult than you thought? How long were you off birth control? Etc etc. my husband and I are trying now (I’m like 2 months into more seriously trying like tracking my ovulating etc) and it’s hard not to let it make me crazy. It’s hard not to get disappointed every month when I get my period and it’s hard to just let nature take its course. Love your videos and watching your family grow, and would love to hear any thoughts you have on your process and your experience of waiting for your time to have your child. Thank you.
Marjorie Gidwitz we are two months into properly trying aswell. I kind thought I was last month and then I get my period. Was so disappointed. But just keep trying.
Katy Bednarski thank you for your comment. We will to. Best of luck on your journey!
I’m in the exact same position!
5 months in of monthly disappointment haha I’m now not stressing about it and just going to take each month as it comes
Fleur fell pregnant the first day basically. She explained it in her announcement vlog I think xx
Marjorie Gidwitz I know you didn’t ask me but it took me 4 YEARS to get pregnant this time around. First time was literally the next month. The main thing that helped me was eliminating stress and negative people in my life ! Stress is a killer ! Good luck hun 🌸💐
Love Water wipes but just a word of warning keep them away from the sun or to much heat as they can go bad.
You seem like such a great mom ❤️
Sooooo many of these are also MY newborn essentials! And I live all the way over here in New Zealand. You are definitely a mega researcher like myself Fleur! We found all the same things. A kindred spirit. :)
Hahah yay! The mega researching helped sooo much! xo
pampers is getting worse and worse as the time pass .. It was a really bad experience when i used them for my baby .. it leaks horribly and it smells really bad ..
mimi AlGhamdi yes! Theyve never worked on my boys and alot of my friends say they didnt work for their kids either
aimee trudgian 🤗
I agree! I live in Germany and every drugstore has their own brand of diapers. They are cheaper, don't leak, don't smell so horrible and they also have cute animals on them 😍 i'll never Go Back.
Australia is so behind in the way they do business and ship products. I live in Melbourne and I can generally buy from overseas and get it before I can get something locally (and they charge a fortune). Australia Post is a joke. I hope you get your order soon, Fleur. I don’t know why more companies don’t do the zips, they are so quick and convenient.
I love love love the bonds wondersuits the best investment I live in sydney Australia and they are sold pritty much every department store major supermarkets when they are on sale they are like $14 each don’t know what that is in ponds
I love them! Sooo excited for my order from Australia to arrive! xo
Oh wow really? They were still $29 at a discount outlet store today. So expensive and rough, thin fabric.
I don't have children nor plan to in the near future, but I love your channel, so I watch anyway.
Haha aw, thank you! ❤️❤️
Omg fleur I’ve been waiting for you to make this video. So excited you made it.
The main thing that I’m nervous of with having a baby is, I have a springer spaniel and she’s 5 months at the moment. Obviously she’s my first born baby but I’m worried of how she will react to a baby as she is so energetic. I also don’t want her to feel left out. Anyone experienced this?
Esme Ervine Hi, from my experience health visiting, if the dog and baby are introduced slowly and gradually, like giving the dog a blanket with the baby’s smell on, then you holding the baby where the dog can see but not reach, then closer and so on, it tends to go pretty smoothly. Dogs recognise young children are a bit more delicate. Just go slower and teach your dog not to jump up before the baby arrives if they’re a bit excitable :) hope this helps.
Hello! I’m a vet, there’s a few things you can do to help
1) you need to get the dog used to a new routine now. No sitting on the couch, make sure she is sleeping somewhere that you’re going to be ok with when a baby arrives.
2) you will need to burn off that energy, so two or theee short walks a day will help- three 10 minutes walks will make her more tired than one 30 minute walk because they will get more mental stimulation out of it.
3) food toys like the kong wobbler are essential. They will keep her busy for hours.
4) you need to make sure that the dog understands she is the dog which is silly sounding, but trust me. Things like not being on the couch are essential here, and eating after everyone else in the house has eaten is important. This is even more important because when dogs hit about two years old they really try to figure out where they belong in the family and if they are the boss or not, when this hits your baby will be a year or so old and starting to walk around, so it’s important the dog realises the child is more important than there are, and this can prevent things like the dog growling at the child.
Awesome! Thanks so much for your input girls! 💕 xo
Love your springer spaniel in the background ❤️ I grew up with a springer and she was the BEST!!!
