Why not use Australian words? Nappies/poo?
@@ChumpyChicken2 My audience is from all over the world, so I try to use words that everyone understands / can relate to. Australians and Kiwi's know what nappies means, but when I use those terms there are lots of Americans, Europeans, and others who have no idea what it means. On the other hand, the vast majority, including Australians, understand the term diaper etc. so I use those to make my videos easier to consume for that global audience 🙂
I have to say, with no help to learn from family or friends due to distance, Emma helped me and my Husband so much. You Emma, are a life saver thank you so much! don't stop making videos!
Hey, in the same boat! Live far from family. You're not alone!!!
As a new father of a 6 week old baby gir, I want to thank you for all the great information. Your "flex and hold" trick, which we saw in the other video, has at times been the only way to sooth her apart from breastfeeding.
Firstly congratulations on the arrival of your little one! And it’s so nice to hear you have found these videos a little helpful! My 3 also loved the flex and hold position!
Which video is this?
@@grantgormann678 I believe it's this one I saw it in. Still works with ours. Good luck with your little one. th-cam.com/video/JePLWMMw3z0/w-d-xo.html
@@grantgormann678 It’s also in this video. Tip #7
Thank you so much Adell I really needed to hear it. It takes the guilt and feeling of selfishness out of my shoulders… I’m sure my son will grow strong and healthy no matter which feeding option I choose.
I don’t want to give up on breastfeeding that quick (he’s 3wo) although I think my mental health is also very important for his good development.
You are a calm resource for parents in a new and often bewildering life change in caring for a newborn! I love to recommend your videos to parents I work with.
❤️
Genius!! Thank you so much. Your videos are super helpful for this first time mom 😊
One of the most useful advices someone gave me about babies is to buy sleepsuits with zipper and avoid buttons. It can be very hard to button the sleepsuits because babies tend to move a lot . It's even harder in the middle of the night if you have to change their diapper and you are half asleeped
This is great advice! I avoid button or press stud onesies for this reason😂
Me too. The buttons are very small as well so adult size fingers have a harder time grabbing them to hold them in place.
th-cam.com/video/rMQPSsFQOlw/w-d-xo.html
Buttons and snaps are the worst!
I personally like the buttons. Everyone has their own preferences
omg the shoulder flap tip is had no idea about. thank you!
I used a wipe as a “peepee teepee.” Did the trick! I lift the legs, wipe bottom, wipe front, slide new diaper on. Done. I never liked layering the new diaper underneath because I was more likely to dirty it by accident.
Thank you so much. All helpful advice. Especially the wrist tilt. My little boy always grabs the hair at the nape. Ouch!
a great tip we used at the beginning when our baby was younger and cried during bathtimes, was wrapping him in a light cloth which if I understand correctly helps him regulate the changes of sensations and cope with it more easily. Nowadays at almost 10 months, bath time is one of the highlights of his day! :)
Thanks so much for sharing this tip!
@@EmmaHubbard my pleasure :)
Perhaps you have any tips for cutting the nails of a 10 month old who doesn't like it?
Yep I used a hand towel til about 8 months
@yaacovyoung
The buffers, the things that don't cut, but sort of file - quickly Baby fingernails are a godsend. I even bought one for our dog! 😂 No sharp blade, they are sold online.
Thanks for this video. I also use a size bigger for night that’s a good idea. Also, better do not close pamper too tight, for air circulation I always keep 1 centimetre extra before closing it.👍
As a fresh .. well 1,5 year now i still watch these
The wipe across the belly has worked for me so far! Thanks for that tip!
No worries at all
These videos make me so happy that my child is 10! Everyone said I’d miss the baby stage; still haven’t missed it a decade later!❤
😂
@@EmmaHubbard It’s great advice!
Why are u here then
aw 🥰
Please log of the internet. @@skf1882
Totally didn’t realize that’s what the overlaps were for on the onesies! I thought it was just to get their head through easier. We’re far from the constant blowout stage now but I’ll definitely do that with the next one!
It took me a while to realise too!
My babe gets his diaper changed right before bed, and I don't have to change him until morning. He doesn't get diaper rash either from that, and he always gets some naked time in the morning after the night diaper is removed. Gotta air him out, lol
😂😂😂
Mine has used around 5 diaper every night
Glad I found this video! My exact question was how to prevent diaper rash when they sleep through the night. My 9 month old is finally sleeping through the night, but she has some diaper irritation. Thanks for the tip!
A really good tip my partner found for our new boy was to use Q tips to clean in between toes in the bath. Really cuts down alot time trying to open toes to begin with.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for these helpful insights
Thank you..i love it ❤
Thanks for this. I need to be prepared for March❤
Cant wait for baby's next bath!! we're definitely getting between those lil fingers and toes!! also the sliding down the onesie for blow outs is clutch!! all great tips!!
Yay! Thank you!
I slide noises down for blowouts😂i am not getting 💩 on my princesses face or hair, nope, uhhhuhhhhh....😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
th-cam.com/video/rMQPSsFQOlw/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tidbit about the sleeves and pulling them down! My child just had a blowout on my lap while we watched this (haha!) and that was mighty helpful. It seems she's soon to outgrow the NB size because getting down those shoulders was harder than anticipated. Thank you, Emma!
You are so welcome!
Another trick is button all your ones and dress the baby from legs up. Instead of over the head. Makes it easier to wear and baby wouldn't be so fussy. I wash my lil girl clothes and when I fold I make sure all her ones are button up so when to dress her its just legs in and slide up.
@jynp4499 OMW! THANK YOU. I think this might be the greatest tip for dressing them up. Makes so much sense!
th-cam.com/video/rMQPSsFQOlw/w-d-xo.html
Us too. My wife was always afraid of covering our daughter's face. Even for a second.
Your tips are very helpful. Thanks for sharing these tips.😊
I am not good in English
Please write important tips in the video in the comments and google will translate
Do you recommend nappy changes before feeds if soiled after waking? Or feed then change
Very interesting 👌 thanks 🙏
All of your videos give me confidence. Thank you so much
I'm so glad!
Literally gasping in awe at the sliding down their onesie tip. Those shoulder flaps were staring us in the face the whole time and we had no idea 😮. Having to resort to all sorts of interesting ways to not get poop on our little bean’s head is no more 😂.
😂 don’t worry with my first I also had no idea. 😂
I wish all baby clothes manufacturers WROTE this on packaging to teach new parents.
my son was potty trained by 10 or 11 months old he did everything super early we knew he was blessed
Could you please tell us step by step on How you potty train him so fast and effectively? Thank you
@@firstnamelastname9661look into Elimination Communication.
@@firstnamelastname9661 I'm pretty sure they're exaggerating
Yes would love to know the how of this
@@SalA-es1dtit's called Elimination Communication. The responsibility is 100% on the adult, never put pressure on the baby!
I never thought to pull the onesie down from the shoulders. I've noticed those shoulder flaps but just thought it was to easily get it over the head and through the arms. Thanks for all the tips!
You are so welcome!

@@jynp4499Yes! I do this. All buttons snapped closed first, then put onto LEGS FIRST AND UPWARD TO SHOULDERS 😁
Hi Emma ❤😊, I just bumped on you video and. I couldn't waist time I subscribed emidately .I found it interesting as Iam about to give birth in 2weeks time as a new Mom ,I guess I needed to see such video as I have being warried on how am I going to manage to raise and take care of my coming baby, foe some one who have no mother we would be expecting the parenting Journey with my husband for the first time and we both know nothing about Baby..this video was formative.
This is a great learning video!
Useful vlog thank you for the tips
Wow thanks for this information
Thanks for the content
❤❤️💯👍. Thanks for sharing with us .
Great video. Thanks for your efforts
My pleasure!
Great insights
The palmar reflex had me thinking my baby was really being affectionate, holding my hand during feedings, at night, and such 😓
Some babies are haha don't feel bad. My lil 3 month old girl when she is drinking her bottle she looks for my hand and she hold my pinky and look at me all in love.. Captivating me with her eyes and when I start kissing her all in love she gets tired and pushes me away hahaha... So don't feel so bad 😆
I’ve shared your channel with so many friends 😋 thank you so much for the wonderful videos 🙌🏻❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
My preemie-boy peed into the nicu-bed of the baby next to him 😅🙈🙈🙈
While I tried to helplessly catch the pee with my bare hands 🤣
I have learned!
😂 Their aim is so unpredictable. Nothing you could have done to stop that one!
Oh my goodness, I can't imagine what this must have been like for you! 😂 Glad you were able to contain some of it! 😆
@@Derlet30 I'll remember it to the day I die! 😂
Thanks for the video ❤
You're welcome 😊
What do you recommend to babies that are cloth diapered? - I still change my baby's diaper at least once per night because unlike diapers with chemical super absorbers, it gets really wet.
I needed all these tips😂❤
I hope they help!
Awww Emma has a baby!!! ❤
Another amazing video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How can one correct the spine of a baby when the back is arched due to changing the daiper wrongly?
"This will help you avoid smearing poop all over your baby's body and head"... Well... I never even considered that😂 I'm due with my first this week and so glad I'm watching this!!!😂
Hope your little one arrives safely and soon! It’s so exciting and nerve racking waiting❤️
Same I’m due in may and just thought to myself what nuclear bomb am I going to be dealing w 😅😂😂😂
Learning a lot from watching your videos
Thank you!
You're welcome!
very nice, thank you!
Glad you like it!
Thankyou so much for these great tips! I'm a new mum with a 3 month old and have been struggling with getting in between his fingers and toes. Wondering if you have any tips for cleaning around the neck?
Hopefully these tips make it easier to clean between those fingers and toes.
To clean under the neck I find the easiest way is to flip them onto their tummy. They will automatically try and lift their head which makes it easier to clean their neck. I hope that helps!
@@EmmaHubbard I'm happy to say my baby boy has easily cleaned fingers, toes and neck now. My husband who has a beard, that someone likes playing with, also thanks you, we can now get him to let go when he starts pulling 😅
That’s awesome to hear!
use a Q-tip between the toes :-)
Full body sleepers are a staple for me. Wasted so much money buying one year worth of onesies (everyone swore on) and my baby CANNOT stand getting his arms through them, even the double sleeve ones with stretch. He will scream and fight now matter how gentle you are, and is unhappy until you take them off. Hope this spares a mom.
I'm trying to find if baby powder necessary for babies. Has Emma ever talked about this before?
Please give some tips to clean the neck area during bathing as its quite difficult to expose that area
Agree!
Facts
Haha. Every parent heartache haha. I tilt my lil girl neck to the back or I play with her jaw which helps her open her mouth and somehow she tilts her neck backwards and I get in there or when she turns her head from side to side. But every baby different and it still ain't always easy hahah
I hold a toy that she likes high up above her head, when she looks up at it (which she does everytime) I then clean her exposed neck area 😊 works great!
Can you just do a bathing guide in general? We tried our first last night and it was like we were tearing away her hopes and dreams in life.
A better way to calm you baby down in the bath is using a blanket or towel as a means to drape them in the bath to provide some form of comfort
Reusable diapers don't seem to work the same way and baby wakes up and cries after wetting at night. Doubling up the liner helps, but we eventually switched to disposables at night because then he sleeps through.
This video was so helpful for first time

So glad you think so!
Thank you
Welcome!
Love it
I'm a little concerned about the position you suggest at the end... wouldn't their head go back and forth and be unsupported in some cases?

Please write important tips in the video in the comments and google will translate☺️
the tricks to prevent getting peed on are so good to know if we have another boy.
It works so well! And so much nicer for us parents!

Thank you sooo much mam
Most welcome 😊
We do #2 with our daughter too. She likes to wee mid-change sometimes. Lol
😂
My little girl would do that all the time too, when she was a newborn 😅
Made the mistake of getting a month off coterie and they leak like a seive when it comes to the pee. Gotta keep up with the changing bc if lil one pees again, he'll need new everything changed
Can someone recommend a good barrier cream?
thanks for this import things how To clean our baby infant
This seems great. Can you make a video with advice for American babies? Thank you!
Aren't all babies the same 😂
Please do one for toddlers
Thanks for the suggestion!
Please suggest a cream which helps to avoid rashes while wearing diaper
Do not feed baby acidic foods like apple, change diaper more often. Best to use natural methods, instead of chemicals
1:28 girls go with cold air getting down there, a quick open, blow, close and wait until the nappy is nolong being filled again.
5:08 my 7 week old absolutely hates any type of dummy and will gag and spit it out if u put it in her mouth, any advice to help this?
Hi Jessie! You could try different dummies but for some children they just don't like the dummy and will refuse to take it. Which is ok - it just makes travelling in the car a little more tricky if they are awake and screaming! My little one refused the dummy- no matter how much I tried.
thank you...
No worries!
2:53 unless it exploded all up her back and missed the nappy completely... to this day i still dont know how she managed it, her entire back but nothing in the nappy...
How to calm an 11 month old baby while bathing? My baby boy loves to move around since he knows how to stand & keep playing around.....
That can be tricky. Swapping up the bath toys regularly can help to keep them in the bath. Otherwise I recommend telling him what to do rather than no what to do. So you would sat "Sit down" and then help him sit down and praise him when he does.
@@EmmaHubbard He won't sit down if he had an objective about I'm going to do something. I even force him into a sitting position but he quickly stands up. I did put ducky for him to play but he would definitely put it into his mouth. Since the bath water is not safe to drink. So I don't do that anymore. I keep telling him don't drink the water it is not safe to drink every single time he showers but he seems like don't understand and keeps drinking 😓 any tips?
Great video, my baby loves bath time,
That's great!
Hello mam, my son is 5 months old, his weight is 7 kgs still he didn't try to roll over. I tried many times to turn him on one side but he didn't co-operate and I tried to give tummy time. During tummy time as soon I put him down suddenly he started crying. Can you please suggest any ideas to roll over him fast
I would suggest taking him to the doctor. It seems like something is causing pain for him. Maybe something is dislocated or a pinched nerve. It's not normal behavior for a baby to cry suddenly whenever you put him down on his tummy.
@jo here all babies are different, but if your baby is suddenly crying when you put him on his stomach, it's probably something that you should talk to a doctor about.
Dont do tummy time, i didnt, and my adult girl is perfect, x
reading to them helps too lol
Tip #2 applies to baby girls too. They don’t arc as much, but my girl peed on the changing mat or directly into the fresh diaper so many times before I started doing this.
Wish I would have seen this
Great😊
Hopefully it was helpful!
Good information
Thanks
Any tips on how to get my 2 yr old and my 7 month old to stop drinking the water when they are in the bath? I keep telling them that it's nasty and it's not healthy and whatnot. Mainly my 2 yr old refuses to stop 😮💨 she normally listens though, but idk why bath water is so enticing to them
Yup mine boy too. How to teach them to hold the breath while running water comes down from the head???
@@ritsuko7027 search Tessa Rhodes infant swim, she has some good videos that teaches 5+ mo olds how to hold their breath. Also ISR (Infant swim Resource) but that’s a whole course to teach them to swim in 6 weeks in case of an accident with a pool then they will know how to survive in water
My little 2yr old too! Not sure what it is about the bath water, but apparently they MUST drink it. 😂
My 2 y.o. also. I guess if it bothers you just warn them bathtime will be done and take them out if.
Maybe try something more enticing? Fun colored juice that's purely bath time treat? Adam Regusea has a soda recipe but you could always change it to just non bubbly water.
awesome
If we don’t use diaper overnight and the baby pee is it okay if we accidentally continue to sleep ?!
Barrier cream? New father here, lol
Congratulations on the arrival of your little one!
Barrier cream is a thick cream that protects a baby’s skin delicate skin. It helps to prevent nappy rash. In Australia a barrier cream is Sudocrem or Bepanthen.
I hope that helps!
@@EmmaHubbard ahhhhh thanks so much!
Or i change them everytime but without moving him around, he sleeps and I don't get hit.
Thanks for sharing!
my first had extremely bad vomiting. she would bottle feed and everything would come up. no one taught me how to bottle feed. I made the holes in the bottle nipple big because I thought she was not getting enough feeding. she is 8 now but I just figured this out recently as I now am a 2nd time mom
I feel so bad
I can relate to the pee pee one.
My 3 week old boy has blessed everyone with his pee.. goes straight into the air😂😂
Even poop explosions
A&D ointment, oh my gosh I cannot suggest it enough. Especially when they just come out of the room. Let me tell you that tar poop is like nothing when you have that barrier of A&d ointment.
Hi hon, I just looked up that ointment and there’s a warning on it that says the original a & d ointment for babies bottoms may cause cancer birth defects and reproductive issues because of a chemical that is in it. There may be more than one chemical in it that does that but just the warning, please don’t use this. When you look it up online, the warning is right on the info about it.

My baby didn't get the memo on number 1. She has decided diapers need to change ASAP!
Every child is so different! They definitely keep us on our toes!
Mine too 😥
Some babies are really sensitive. I learned about elimination communication after my daughter was born. It was really helpful. Andrea Olson has great information.
@@jazzminlott2865
I also practice EC. Andrea Olsen is a good resource.
My baby just turned 8 months, we used diapers the first 3 months. Then we tried elemination comunication, it was successful about 90% of the time. Still used diapers on nights tho, but now about 2 weeks she's butt naked in the night aswell. We also cosleep. I just wish i tried earlier, we both sleep better now.
