  • Today's video shows you what 24 hours in a day can look like with a newborn (we are first time parents!). Please note that so far every day has looked different and it's not an easy journey. First few months have been so hard but worth every single day with this precious bundle of joy.
    Sending lots of love to everyone, you've got this!

    I think you are doing a phenomenal job. I am 1 month PP as well and barely able to keep up with 10% of what you do. Between pumping and breastfeeding (I do double feeding) we barely have time to do anything. I’m very impressed with your time management, how clean your house is and also, the amount you pumped! I would love any tips on the above!

    • @melslifestyle
      @melslifestyle  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you so much for your kind words it truly means so much to me! I often feel like I’m barely making it and I wonder how others do it and make it look so easy, it’s HARD work .. I’m so exhausted by the end of every day 🥲

    • @melslifestyle
      @melslifestyle  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Honestly the carrier is what has helped me the most! I can’t imagine doing anything without it because my baby is definitely a Velcro baby and has to be carried all the time 😅😅 I use that time to cook and clean and do anything else I need to get done like laundry and stuff! To workout and shower I HAVE to have help from my husband, that’s a tough one cause she will cry as soon as I put her down 😅

    • @sshyam2903

    Hey girl! I love this video and your baby is absolutely adorable. Just one small critique, personally I prefer videos where there’s no voiceovers because I just love hearing all of the babies little sounds and squeaks I think that’s what makes so adorable. So if you’re up to it Id love a vlog where it’s just you talking. But great video and your baby is so adorable.

    When I had my son he was fine at the hospital after being born he was eating ok no issues but when he came home issues started happening I decided to take him to the hospital he was diagnosed w reflux at Children’s hospital Los Angeles, because he was spitting up his formula i didn’t breastfeed being a single parent I bottle feed him and my mom watched him for me, while I was at work he was extremely fussy had a lot of gas so the hospital Dr checked him out and advised me how feed him sitting up only on my lap or his infant set and while sitting on my lap how to burp him and especially special formula was ordered technically it’s for colic babies it’s called nutramigen he wasn’t allergic but was extremely gassy no matter how well I burped him plus I was told to add Gerbers rice cereal a half teaspoon in the formula because since he was spitting up he was eating enough so that made him more fussy so I did plus I had to at that time the nipples opening weren’t big so I made them bigger for the rice cereal to go through it helped so much no gas or spitting up plus I was advised also to wait after he burped to sit him on my lap for at least 20 minutes for everything to settle down, I tell you it was nite and day no more fussy baby other than he just being fussy like normal but he slept and ate and to be honest it helped a lot he got off the bottle at like 9 months since he never slept with it or walked around with it ever so that was a plus all the way around so you both are doing an awesome and amazing job she is precious ❤congratulations be safe just forwarding my own experience take care I know being a first time parent is so overwhelming but you too are great job kiddos to you both !!!

      It’s developmentally normal for babies to want to be with their moms constantly. It’s not spoiling them to provide comfort for them. If it doesn’t work for you that’s your life but if it works then keep doing it. They learn to regulate by first coregulating from their mom and learning their needs will be met. This momma is doing an amazing job!!
