  • Thank you for watching. This episode I share an update on our rustic Italian kitchen, bathroom and the nursery for our newborn baby. I make a quick and easy chocolate cookie recipe and chat about how it feels to be a new mother.

    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.

      I would recommend that you take a vitamin & mineral deficiency test right away so you know what you are deficient in and dont end up with the baby blues. Take care. 🇮🇹💚 ps your parents are AMAZING!!!! 🥂🍾

    My biggest piece of advice for times when baby cries for long periods is to swaddle them a bit firmer than you’d think. Like a burrito. It makes them feel snug like in the womb. My baby boys immediately calmed ❤️

      My grandson was like this and my daughter was breast-feeding and she found out it was garlic that was giving him colic. Everything you eat and drink because your breast-feeding will affect the baby her naturopathic doctor told her.That’s might be something you can look at. Eating onions or garlic and spicy food is not good for babies when breast feeding. After she stopped after a week or so the colic started to lesson quite a lot. I hope this helps you and your baby.
      He is so beautiful. So happy to see you are both doing well.
      Your place is coming along lovely. Thank goodness for your loving and caring parents. God bless you all.

    My son had colic and screamed for hours on end. Then, just as the doctor predicted, at 3 months it stopped. I tried all the things you're told to do, i.e the hot water bottle, the chamomile teas, cutting out dairy, but the thing which helped the most was bundling him really tightly in a blanket and keeping his room dim and quiet or just with a background noise like a fan. I've read lots about it since then, and most experts think it's an underdeveloped nervous system, which is why less talking, not too much light and the tight wrappings help. They shouldn't be overstimulated. I wish I had known more at the time.

      @@meganblasco2 Yes, yes, yes - anything too spicy or gassy goes straight to the baby's brand new digestive system. This means no cauliflower, broccoli, onion, garlic, shallot, cabbage or brussel sprouts, even beans. Kylie cooks with onion, garlic, likes legumes - the baby could be reacting to all of these. So, to avoid this vicious cycle, with continuous feedings, which could then be setting off the gas all over again, she should definitely go on a more bland diet. Not terribly delicious, but more accepting to the little baby. There's a direct connection between the feeding, the gas, and the colic. I hope she forgets her flavorful meals for a while, it's a shame, but that's the way it is. My midwife gave me that advice, not the obstetrician, nor the pediatrician. No gassy foods.

    What a treat to see you with your son! No need to feel you must keep us filled in all the time Kylie as it is most important to develop your rest and daytime ritual patterns both for you and the baby. As a homeopathic RN and someone who has done cranial sacral technique I have found over the years that both these methods work wonders for the colicky baby. Suggest finding someone who can work with you and your baby to relieve these stresses for you both and reestablish the proper rhythm yet again so that it will end these distresses immediately. Yes, trying to cut out the dairy is important as well plus all those triggers which a baby’s digestion cannot handle yet….garlic, onions, beans, lentils, spices of any kind…..choose the nutritious broths, fish, avocados, real butter, electrolytes in lemon water, homemade soups with broth and no pulses, coconut milk and oil, olive oil so soothing, fresh farm eggs (duck eggs even better!). Absolutely the burping and not feeding again until those bubbles come up….and best of all massaging that wonderful baby to help direct the flow around the abdomen and out as the trapped gas releases. Another hint is that the gas will get trapped up into and under the shoulder blades which sends the babe into screaming…..a gentle massage there will help! You will be amazed! The cranial bones need only a slight adjustment and many times comes from the birth experiencing a slight shift of those bones. When you are able to start again on milk, choose from a local farmer who can provide the best Jersey cows fresh from their herds….it has all the proper enzymes and fats for your own milk production straight to that adorable bundle in your arms…..and you are wise to wait on that for yourself until the babe can get sorted out with the homeopathic remedies and some cranial-sacral gentle technique. Ask around for the wise women in the community for the best homeopathic person as well as a masseuse to teach you how to massage the baby. It is such a life-long skill which establishes the most amazing bond and balancing start for growth and development. I massaged my babies every day for at least two years just as part of the morning ritual……singing and playing with hands and feet along the way. The babe loves to hear your voice which is a great comfort to them and the gentle rocking motion will emulate the proper cranial rhythm which calms & puts the baby to sleep immediately. Bless all in your family for taking great care. ❤

    So happy for you that everything is ok now, and your both home safe, happy and tranquil. Isn't it the utmost surreal feeling of being able to feed, love and connect with your baby by nursing? Reminding me of the best days and nights of my life, even now how I felt my whole world changed and my my thinking of it in the first moment I nursed my son. I so love your nursery, even though it will seem after a while the whole home becomes a nursery. The colic would be from two reasons, whatever the mom has, the baby has, so no cow milk. This helped me as well, I had the same issue. Also whatever the hospital gave you would be going into your son's system, which may take time to get out of both of your systems. I refused anything extra, different situation though, I dropped my boiling tea on myself and was told if they gave me any medication I should stop breastfeeding as all medications goes to your baby. I just suffered through it even though I was in great pain of 3rd degree burns. Ahh what we do for our children but I wouldn't do it any other way. Great mother's make great men. :)

    Kylie, you’ve still got a few months before he sleeps through the night, all of us who have been through it are sending best wishes and support! It’s a difficult time for you, but baby’s tummies are so small, maybe the size of a ping pong ball at this time, so they need to be fed pretty frequently. The first 4 months are often the most difficult, things usually start to settle after 4 months. Make sure you’re taking in enough calories, and drink enough fluids. Your baby might be going through a growth spurt, so during those times , he’ll be nursing a lot! As long as the baby is growing and gaining weight, the reflux shouldn’t be a long term problem and should resolve itself. Perhaps keeping the baby in a somewhat upright position when feeding and even having the mattress of the bassinet slightly tilted so baby isn’t lying completely flat on his back can help. You look amazing even when sleep deprived, hang in there, things will get easier.

    A baby chiropractor helped both of our children. One had very strong reflux and I nursed constantly to keep up and they needed a couple gentle spine adjustments along the stomach points (she used two fingers along the spine) and the other had a neck spasm on one side. The birth canal is a tight journey. Many blessings to your new family.

    • @gnarbeljo8980
      @gnarbeljo8980 ปีที่แล้ว

      This baby was C section, no tight birth canal, but also results in less resilience as they aren't exposed to the same surge of good bacteria during delivery. It's fantastic you got the help you did, but I'd not trust a chiropractor with my new born unless they were close family, too many quacks and too much at stake. You're lucky you had a good practitioner.

    You are doing so well. Good work momma! I am happy to hear your parents are there and it warmed my heart to hear you speak of how lovely your mom is helping and being a genuine support to you. This is so important. Our daughter who is twenty now had colic and reflux and cried in the evenings for 3 hours for her first 3 months. My husband's grandfather gave us an article from the newspaper called "The five S's" for infants- Swaddling, Shushing, Swaying and Sucking. Doing all of these together helped our Anna tremendously. She did not want a pacifier any other time but when we did this to soothe her in the evenings. White noise helped calm her as well or the exhaust fan in the kitchen or bathroom. I have heard that 1 drop of Roman Chamomile, lavender, and geranium eo with 2TBSP almond or olive oil over the stomach and back helps fussiness and prolonged crying as well. I hope this helps. Thank you for the recipe and new video. So happy for you and Guido!

    Hiya Kylie, a medical professional told me that as my son was born by C section, he could be more prone to digestive issues until his system matures , as he hadnt gone through the birth canal. It only took a few months but felt like a lifetime. Don't beat yourself up, lots of us go through this with our newborns. Please take care of yourself, it gets easier every day honestly and it's all so new for the three of you.

    What a wonderful surprise to see you this morning. To watch you with your son is so magical. I can't believe you are already baking, cooking, posting, decorating and taking care of your sweet baby. Years ago when I was studying child development we learned that baby girls are born with their nervous systems intact while baby boys nervous systems completely develop after they are born. This explains why baby girls have better motor skills, verbal skills and less colic.......baby boys do seem to have more digestive issues and it takes a while for their nervous systems to completely mature, along with their motor skills and verbal skills.I'm not a Dr but my years working with children bear out these observations. The gift of time is a wonderful thing. On another note Gianfranc's wordrobe is out of this world. You are an amazing person and we are so happy you have your beautiful family . Thank you for posting today.

    I'll chime in that when my babies fussed through the night they always inevitably had a sensitivity to my drinking milk. I know there can be lots of reasons for babies to cry but for my babies it always made a dramatic difference!
    Glad you are on the mend. I relate to getting back to the cooking rythym being grounding! 😄

    I called it the witching hour when my son cried around 5pm every day for about 2hrs. Take turns if you can for your own sanity but the both of you will get through it. You’re family is beautiful & so lucky to have each other!
    Hugs from Calfornia ❤

    You are such a beautiful humble woman. It can take up to a year for your body to go back to normal. As your baby grows you need to rest when the baby sleeps and as the baby gets older she will stay awake more and more. Your recovery is in connection with the babies first 3 month of sleeping and eating and growing. Yum those biscuits look fabulous. God bless you and your baby, keep you all safe and give you the joy of motherhood as you bond with your little one.

    Hello from Florida, USA! You seem so much better since the last video & look so calm & happy. The baby is beautiful! Bravo! Looks like things are coming along nicely there. Take your time to heal, it gets easier, I promise! I have a big boy, nursing every 2 hours also. When he was 5 months old I was pregnant already with my daughter! They are such a blessing, and it's so wonderful to have parents around to help! God bless you my dear, take good care💕😊

    I hope his pain decreases soon. Doctors told me that my son was 'just colicky' however he cried for months. 4 weeks(2w for mom, 2 w for babe) after I went off gluten, dairy, soy and yeast, he was better. Sending all of you love

    Kylie, you look wonderful. The nursery is a dream. G’s wardrobe is beautiful. For Christmas content, just whatever you are doing this year, and maybe Guido can talk about the traditions his family does, or you can relay them. You be the princess this season, and let others do things for you too!

    My son and I had a very traumatic and long birth as well and he had pretty severe colic but grew out of it at about 3months old. Gosh, I remember we were driving him around in the car at all times of night just to get him settled. The swaddling really helps and all the other things the mother's on your channel have suggested. Please, please focus on you and your baby - rest as much as you need and don't push yourself. I'm saying this with some personal experience. This is the most important time for you and your family. Ps my son is now a healthy 20yr old. May our heavenly Father bless you x

    Kylie I love your holy family print! Lovely to see Mary and her baby Jesus watching over your son:)
    If you need more light in the kitchen (inside the plate cabinet?) look at remote controlled puck lights. I’ve seen them used in all kinds of applications, inside lamps/sconces in place of screw in bulbs to the kind that are inset in a ceiling replacing ‘canned’ lights. Bless you all🌻

    In the U.S. there is a product called Gripe Water. Can be used for colic or discomfort with babies, works very well. Love all the renovations, especially the tiles.

  • @therealdonnawagner

    My daughter was colicky and it was really rough to hear her constantly crying but not being able to help in a meaningful way other than to hold her. I pray your little one is able to calm and rest so you can get some rest, too. Just remember when you're worn out and he's fussy, that stage will pass (probably sooner than you think, in the moment it feels like it might never end) and you'll all be having happier days. 😊

    My youngest boy had colic...it is very challenging and i certainly had times that I felt like a total failure...but, as with anything, it does get better and i did learn to do some gentle exercises for him...bringing his bent legs up to his chest seemed to be the most comforting to him. I did end up having to get some medication for him, and it worked, thank goodness. You look beautiful btw, and please continue to take care of yourself so that you can heal properly.

    I never had children, but I was told long ago that putting a small pillow stuffed with dried dill in their bassinet was soothing for a colicky baby.
    If nothing else, it would smell wonderful. ❤

    Hi, from Spain. My name is Carolina. My son cried when I ate certain things such as onions or walnuts. He was also very uneasy from seven to nine p. m. My husband got home at nine and he wanted to give him a bath and spend some time with him, but we noticed that he was much better if I gave him a bath at seven. Massaging his stomach also helped a lot. He was very sensitive. He didn't like noise or loud music, strong wind or rain. But he enjoyed opera. Routine helped a lot, but a day without routine was always a challenge. My second son was completly different. Obserb yours and see what works with him. You never know. I hope he gets better. You seem a wonderful person and mother.

    My heart goes out to you. I remember when my infant daughter had her first fit of crying and I didn't know what to do or how to soothe her. I held her and cried with her because I felt so helpless. I learned later that she had colic. Like clockwork, in the evening, the crying would start and I would walk the floor with her back and forth, back and forth, stroking her back. I learned to adjust to it. I remember walking with her outside on the porch so that it wouldn't wake my husband who had to go to work in the morning. I can't remember how many months it went on. I want to say three months. Please take care of yourself and know that you are one of thousands of moms who have gone through the same thing. We know and understand. Your son is blessed to have you and your husband.

    Of course we would wait, Kylie for you to post a video and we anxiously wait and are happy to wait for you to have the time to create new content, but more importantly is you being a mother tending to your baby boy’s needs and trying to soothe him. By the way, happy birthday to Guido turning 40! The house is looking amazing and progressing and then in due time it will be all completed and something in the past. The baby gifts from your best friend are absolutely precious and I know they mean a lot to you! Your parents are gems, precious gems and so trustworthy and so blessed to have them there with you during these beginning stages. Things will iron out as they have already. Please take care of yourself and keep gaining your strength. I know you love to be creative in the kitchen and cook your gourmet meals but please don’t overdo it. Everyone in the family understands. God bless you and your little family and can’t wait to see you whenever you decide to post! Ciao for now, your friends Chuck and 🐞🇮🇹Vita Maria from California

    Beautiful rooms, esp. the baby’s room. So happy you’re taking good care of yourself. A long time ago a friend told me, “you have to rest to heal”. Also years ago my daughter used Colic Calm which is homeopathic and it helped a lot. There seems to be a lot of different versions of it these days, some with 5 star ratings. God bless you and your sweet family!

    Oh, the weather does look inviting in Tuscany! Here, in Delaware, eastern, mid-Atlantic USA, we too are having a quite mild November. Many of the trees still haven't dropped their leaves! Your kitchen, bath, nursery, etc. are all so stunning! One day visitors may assume your home always and effortlessly looked so stunning. Your collection of videos documenting the progress in your Tuscan home tell the true sacrifice. Give the babe a hug and kiss, and do continue to make your health a priority!
