We have 4 under 4 and we love it!! Honestly the hardest time was having less kids.. I know it doesn’t make sense, but once we had a routine with 2, the third and fourth were “easy” so to speak! They love each other and do everything together, it’s SUCH a joy and a blessing!!!
I have Irish twins, my kids are 11 months 2 weeks and 4 days apart. It’s a lot easier than what people say. I’m glad I had my kids close together. They will be 17 and 18 this year.
Soph is a natural Mom! She appears to do everything with such ease and is very organized. Taylor is such a sweet guy and so supportive of everything his family needs. What great couple. Any baby they have will be very lucky to be born into this lovely family. The details they share about what their experiences have been with pregnancy and a newborn must be so helpful for other young couples. Wish I had seen something like this when I was a new Mom many years ago.
Another helpful tip I learned while breastfeeding feeding was , don’t lay on your chest because that also stops the flow of your milk , and warm showers/baths are good to help any clumps of milk out , warm wash cloths and massages for your chest will do wonders. I definitely recommend having your babies close in age , I had 4 children within 6 years and they helped each other through their milestones helped each other walk, talk , eat, sing, dance, POTTY TRAIN! It was absolutely wonderful, yes there will definitely be hard times but it was so worth it. I am truly blessed and thankful for the way my family came out. I pray for you all to have many more blessings coming your way.
1:23 so very kind of you! My husband was the one to get the baby, change, and hand to me while I get ready/move to the couch to do night time breast feeds. Everyone has their own routine and what works best for them but I SO appreciate his help to get up and help me
Me and my husband are in our 40s and we always talk about how we wish we had way more kids when we were younger. I say go for it. It's alot easier to take care of them when your younger. Only you know what you can handle.
I enjoy your videos so much. I’m old enough to be your grandmother but it’s nice to see young adults having a wonderful marriage and so much love for your growing family. If you can afford your babies go for it. You two are very loving parents. ❤️
As a new dad myself, I understand the sleep issues and stuff. I’ve been battling anxiety recently it’s been up and down but I’m handling it. My partner is doing well and the baby AnnaGrace is doing good as well
Y’all, my daughter was 5 months old when I got pregnant with my son. It had its challenges but I don’t know any different now. They are BEST friends too which is so sweet. Y’all totally got this! ❤️
Babies pick up on stress, you guys seem to have a good partnership in the parenting and have your routine worked out. You're relaxed, she'll be relaxed. I was not relaxed, and my daughter felt it.
This is y’alls story and if yall want kids close in age go for it. Don’t listen to the nay sayers because in reality they are just jealous of what yall have. Love watching your videos!❤
It's tough the first year, but it will fly by so quick, so don't blink! Lol Y'all got this and we all have been through it, and y'all are doing a great job! Hang in there and enjoy every minute of this! Congratulations guys❤️👏🥰
I agree should be up to y’all what y’all want to do. So I agree with you 100% Soph. Your body, home, what you want. God Bless! Have a fantastic day. Prayers always.
You two are doing an amazing job for first time parents. My baby girl would only sleep in the car or on a plane. I was blessed. I love you both so much! Keep up the good job.
Yall are the sweetest parents! Yall do what works for yall and don't think twice about what others say! Mom of 4 boys😅 and it drives family insane that we do things our way. Our families like things done their way. I got tired of it. We have a family of six for the moment but honestly we are all so happy! We're not weird lol we just do things differently as a big family! Yall are doing an amazing job!! Baby girl is precious and I can't wait to keep watching as yalls family grows! As always so much love and prayers from our family to yours!
Soph you are so sweet and encouraging. Your genuineness, kindness and love for life is beautiful. I love how you know what you want and you go for it. I hope that never changes. How is everything with your heart? Love from Minnesota
Shes growing so fast even though she was born in Nov.😭😭😭I want her to stay littleeee but I can't wait for the joy and excitement that she has already brought and what she will bring!!! I love y'all!!!!!!!
What a sweet family❤. I had 4 under the age of 4.5 years. All singles. That’s all I knew so I loved it. The downside is they all leave home one right after the other and that’s sad. Then you get loads of grands, which is where we’re at now🥰
Very natural in the early days to have a lot more milk than baby eats. Your supply will even out according to the feeding schedule as stimulation helps to produce more. 9 pounds is about the birth weight of my first child who is now 21 years old! it's awesome that she is cruisy and loves to sleep. It's great because there will be periods in her first year where sleep will be the last thing she wants to do! My first two children were not good at sleeping through the night but my youngest child was theist at feeding and sleeping. You have got skills for first time parents! You are doing so well.
I totally get the baby fever right after having a newborn!! the only thing I’d caution is my ob said to wait until at least 3 months postpartum to let the wound caused by your placenta to heal!!
Girl, GOOO FOR IT. I don’t understand either why people care so much what others do. You guys are amazing parents and would be great with another baby too!! It comes natural to you it seems. Your family is beautiful and I’m excited to watch it continue to grow ❤
You go girl!!! Get those nasty sayers off your back. They can keep their own opinions. God will watch over & keep you as long as you keep your eyes on Him!! ❤❤❤
I had twins in June 2018. My son is March 2020 and our other daughter November 2021. Pregnant with number 5. This will be the biggest age gap between any of our kids. The only downside I find with them being so close in age is as you have to deal with behavioral stages back to back as you enter a new one lol and it's harder on the body. I feel like I've had my butt handed to me lol but all that is really temporary. My girls are 5 now and love taking care of our 2 year old. Our son is 3 about to be 4 and is excited for a baby brother in April and wants to teach him about trucks and all his tools lol
The same thing happened to me after my first! I didn’t think I’d want them so close in age, but I had baby fever again within the first month or two. Lol We ended up getting pregnant 7 months postpartum, due in May 2024 (it is good to wait at least 6 months from studies I saw). It is irritating to me how people will constantly tell you all the negative things about having kids, like you mentioned. The lack of sleep, the sleep regressions, once they start crawling/walking/getting into everything. Of course there’s challenges with every new phase, but overall I see the joy in it. Frustrating that people seem to only see the negatives and want to warn you about them or something. Looking forward to the next pregnancy announcement! 😁♥️
I was a young mother I had my first baby at the age of 18, our baby girl was so happy and she slept through the night around 2 months my husband and I were both thinking wow this is awesome. I found out I was pregnant with our 2nd baby when our daughter was only 8 months old 🤦🏻♀️ (FYI I was on BC with all 3 of my babies, it didn’t work) had our second baby he was early and born at 32 weeks and from the get go he was completely different. They are 14 months apart and boy did I have my hands full. Our son was and is something else lol I don’t know what it is about that middle child but lord have mercy. We swore we weren’t having any more, then we had our son. I had all 3 before I was 21. My kids are 19,18,17 now. Looking back it was crazy. Would I have done it different, IDK but I don’t regret anything. ❤ Yall are still young, cherish the time you have with your baby girl because they grow up fast. Enjoy your lil baby girl and enjoy each other. ❤ Love you guys!! Hope y’all are having a blessed day.
I just discovered you guys and I am already in love !! Y'all are the sweetest couple and you LOVE JESUS and aren't afraid of telling everyone 😍 I can't wait to catch up on all of your videos 😊 Thanks for sharing y'all's life with us !!
Wow! I had my last at 35. She can do this. Tell her to take it just one day at a time. For me thinking too much into the future drove me a little crazy. 😊
First I wanna start by saying congrats on the beautiful little girl! She's so adorable! 2nd I wanna say. I totally know how you feel about wanting another little one so soon 🥰 you are soo so sooo not alone! In fact I got pregnant with our second when I was 9 months post partum. ! One thing I will say is, I do wish I would have waited at least a full year so that my body could fully heal. Physically it's been alot more painful towards the end of the pregnancy. But, sickness wise it's been alot better. Of course you guys do what's best for you and your little family ❤️🥰 but I do recommend at least giving yourself a year. It's alot harder being pregnant with a toddler. My son has begun to realize now that something is about to change and it's caused him to act out just a little lol preferring dad before me lol but he's coming around again and wanting momma snuggles. It's not easy and I'm sure you're already aware. But as much as I am excited to have our second. I am still a little nervous. But, by God's grace I know everything will be OK if I lean and trust in him! And the same will be for you! God bles you and your sweet family!
Lecithin supplements help prevent mastitis. You guys are young but seem quite mature. So if you want to have children close in age then that's entirely up to you. Your little baby girl seems so calm & quiet. Such a big blessing.
Honestly when I found out I was having a second one before my daughter was turning one it truly scared me. My daughters dad wanted them close in age but I didn’t really want one yet. It’s honestly is hard because my little is not 7 months and I’m at the point in pregnancy where I am struggling to breath and I get light headed. I have to tend to her through the night almost every hour. Sometimes it’s just her crying from a dream where her eyes are closed. Then adding in December she started having seizures so it all is very difficult. I love both kids and I’m trying to enjoy the pregnancy but it’s definitely not like my first pregnancy. 😅 When y’all do decide when just remember that it is difficult and keeping in mind that as long as y’all communicate& work together y’all will get through it.
Y’all are the sweetest and God loving people I have seen. I have 4 siblings and i love having a big family! I have 2 brothers who are a year apart and are best friends! Y’all are such good parents and a child would be blessed to be apart of your family!!! Love y’all
Have as many babies as you LIKE when YOU feel its right!! Youvare AMAZING together and amazing parents!! As a mama ofSIX kiddos (successfully raised) i WISH i could have just one more!! I'm 48 now, so have them NOW, and enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!! Love you both SO much!!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉😂😂😂
Sophia do what’s best for you!!! I also want to have a handful of kids close in age when I get married! You are such an inspiration to me and I want to thank you for always bringing a bit of joy into my life❤❤❤
My two are 17m apart (so I caught when my first was 8m old) and the only thing I’d change if I could go back would be to make the gap even smaller! Honestly! I love the small gap and there are so many little perks that come with it like both children still napping giving you a little down time in the chaos and both children also never knowing a life without eachother. Still having all the baby things and hand me downs too. The pregnancy was a bit more difficult than the first because having baby to look after whilst pregnant obviously doesn’t allow you much time to feel sorry for yourself or rest but it’s such a short time in the grand scheme of things vs the reward at the end and so long as you have good support you can absolutely do it. I say go for it guys, if you know you want more than one child in the long run then there is no right or wrong age gap. All have their own pros and cons and if you feel young enough and feel you have the energy for a young family then do it! ❤️
Honey, y'all do y'all. Don't let the people who disagree or don't understand affect you. Y'all know yourselves better than anyone else, and you know what you can handle. You have another baby when you're ready. This is y'alls choice.
I started having babies really early. It was hard. I wish they were closer together. 4 yrs apart is too long. Our baby is 18 now and graduating highschool. I'm going on 43, and while it is hard facing an "empty nest" and the next season I am happy that I am doing it now and not still going my family. Do whatbis right for y'all. Super adorable family and in my prayers.
Don't worry about what other people say my girls are close in age and I wouldn't change a thing so if you want to have more kids and have them close in age do it just don't listen to the idiots that try to tell you you should wait
Maybe what worked for you doesn't work for everyone. I paused the video because someone was talking to me, so I don't know what was said yet. I have seen a lot of comments like this though, both sides should be talked about. Every child is unique, and you sound like you should know what I'm talking about. Like if they have another baby now and the kids are a year apart, it can come with challenges. Especially if the first born excels at everything and does everything early. You have two babies with very different schedules. And if you are breast feeding both, depending on when you stop breast feeding the first, some people do it longer. Or if you need to cook breakfast and feed one while breast feeding the other, and you have to pee. 😂. Might not seem like a big deal but a womans bladder sometimes isn't able to wait as long after having a baby... I don't think it hurts to give them all the possible info so they don't go into it expecting it to be easy , because it's not always easy. What if they do and he ends up working lots or something and she has to do it all on her own, moms do it but it's hard even when it's easy. You know?
When you talked about other kids sleeping different, that definitely happened with us. Our son, first born, was great and our daughter, second born, didn't sleep through the night until she was like 2yr old. They are 18 months apart and I love that age gap
So sweet!!! Typically the more pumping you do the more you produce. More output tells your body it needs to make more. Eventually your body will get used to only producing as much as she eats but you have to let it self regulate. This advice is coming from a mom of 3. Hopefully you can figure out a smooth system for you and her. :)
No reason not to be pumping and freezing your excess and Dad's can share in the bonding experience of bottle feeding. If you don't have use for all of your breast milk, you can donate it. Call the hospital and ask if they have a need. 😊❤
Baby girls is getting so big!! Love you guys and your openness about the struggles. As a mom of 3, i can tell you the first 4 months are rough! Everyone is running on minimal sleep. Its survivial mode at first . You both are rockin it and taking on the roles so evenly. Its a learning curve binging a baby into the world and learning how to breastfeed all at the same time
I love your enthusiasm about having a big family. I am 19 and also wanna be pregnant and have a bunch of kids. Problem is even though I am engaged and in a long lasting relationship we cant afford to have babies now. We both have to finish school and be stable. My only advice would be to wait six months so your body can heal before getting pregnant again, so you can get pregnant many many times without any issues. Because if you had back to back pregnancies over a long period of time your body might give out. Doctors say to wait a year but I feel you, a year feels way too long. So i believe six months will do😂 Wish you the best ❤
I’m pregnant with our first. Everyone has been super nice when finding out we’re expecting, but I absolutely hate the back-handed comments. "Awwwww, congratulations! But just WAIT until…" and they always bring up something negative.
I must say I have enjoyed following the two of you!! With the faith you have and love for each other you will be blessed and enjoy your future!! I’m proud of you two wonderful parents such a beautiful little princess you have!!
I had 3 kids in 5 years of marriage. Don't let anyone to make you feel pressured by anyone. I wanted kids my whole life. I got pregnant on my honeymoon and my boys are 30 months and then my daughters 33 months later. God decided I was done. I never used birth control after any of my children except for one month after my second son. I had allergic responses to everything. God knows what he wants us to have. I specifically Prayed that IF I wasn't to have a daughter please do not allow me to become pregnant. I was expecting 3 weeks after that prayer and I have the most beautiful Family with a daughter who is Beautiful. She will be 30 this year! God is so Phenomenally So Good! We are Blessed 3 times in less than 5 years!!! God bless you!
My daughter drank breast milk until she was almost 4. I froze so much. I also donated to the neocare at the hospital. Our Pediatrician asked me to help because my milk was incredible.
I'm not telling you how or when yo have your next child I'm just suggesting you discuss it with your doctor and make sure your all healed up and also make sure your heart is fixed and no other complications love yo yall and good luck
My husband is the same way. He sleeps so deeply at night, and honestly, I'm glad because during the day he's rested and can take care of our other children and with our first he took care of our son when I wasn't breastfeeding. We both can't be sleep deprived. It's not good for our marriage or our children.
Our daughter was easy until 3.5 months or so and then a switch flipped! She lulled us into a false sense of security for sure. We've flown with her twice and never regretted not bringing the stroller. We just wear her and it's never been a big deal.
When the baby stares at your eyes that means she wants to bond so she needs lotta long-term eye contact and soft love language. This will be very beneficial for her for the rest of her life and for your relationship with her through those toddler years and teen years. I really think that the Lord will be coming to get his bride fairly soon, but it’s still wonderful to bond with the baby and let the baby bond with you ~it’s a love story in its purest form.
Just be very careful traveling especially this time of year, there is all kinds Of Flues going around, lung issues lots of sickness. Try to keep her face covered as much as possible on the plane especially. God bless, stay safe🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Yall are so cute!! Take advatage of every moment and charish every memory becauae i remember all those feelings and moments with my only daughter like it was last week and ahe just turned 13.
I’m one of five daughters and my oldest sister is 11 months older than me and then my sister next to me is 17 months younger than me so we’re all very very close. I think it’s great to have children close together so that they are not alone.
Awwe the cutest little family right there. Go make all the babies you want .. ❤it's your life ❤ you couldn't be more right when saying , you having or not having babies Doesn't EFFECT ANY OF OUR LIVES. Don't let the trolls get ya .
Have all the kids! My husband and I were married at 21 and 22.. Got pregnant 5 months later. We had 4 kids in 6 years. We were military so we chose to not have any more. My only regret is not leaving it to God and not having more. Biggest advice, don't let people dictate your family. You'll get comments but its between the 2 of you and God, no one else.
You guys live in Athens during school & haven't heard about Dr. Denmark? Dr. Denmark was an AWESOME pediatrician & helped deveop the whooping cough vaccine. Hawthorne Pharmacy has Denmark's baby book.
from one mom to another, go through the toddler stage and then decide if you would like another, thats when things get wild haha we have a 2 yo and are having a newborn in a few weeks so we will see how that goes, hoping having a newborn with a toddler is easier than being pregnant with a toddler
Don't listen to the negative just waits, the positive just waits are way better and more of what you remember. Just wait for the first smile, the first belly laugh, the baby gaze, the first roll, the way they interact with you and eventually their sibling. Sit back and watch your kids play together and laugh together, it is seriously the best thing in the world
Love that you two have an easier baby. I think God does it on purpose so that we have more children and get use to becoming a parent. He goes easy on us but at the time it felt like a lot. My first baby was a boy, he is two now and was soooo easy compared to my daughter who is now 5 months. Enjoy it, happy for you two! & love the videos. Hope you guys see this comment. ♥️
It’s crazy something in Soph’s voice has changed. I love seeing y’all be parents and watching the journey 🥰 that’s a blessed baby!
Y’all are too sweet. I’ve raised two girls and I’ll never forget the first few weeks of being a mommy! They are 28 and 32 now
Sophia, you were meant to be a mom! The looks you give her of pure love are incredible.
Agreed, she is✨️ GLOWING✨️
Mother of 5 sons
Not a SINGLE regret…. Keep going!! You two are so refreshing! How wonderful to bring your joy into the world! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🤍🤍⚔️🫵⚔️🤍🤍
You guys are the sweetest 😍
I was married and 3 kids by 21. I have 5 now. I love love love my big family ❤️❤️❤️ GO FOR IT!!!!!
We have 4 under 4 and we love it!! Honestly the hardest time was having less kids.. I know it doesn’t make sense, but once we had a routine with 2, the third and fourth were “easy” so to speak! They love each other and do everything together, it’s SUCH a joy and a blessing!!!

I was a young mother I had my first baby at the age of 18, our baby girl was so happy and she slept through the night around 2 months my husband and I were both thinking wow this is awesome. I found out I was pregnant with our 2nd baby when our daughter was only 8 months old 🤦🏻♀️ (FYI I was on BC with all 3 of my babies, it didn’t work) had our second baby he was early and born at 32 weeks and from the get go he was completely different.

Yall are still young, cherish the time you have with your baby girl because they grow up fast.
Enjoy your lil baby girl and enjoy each other. ❤ Love you guys!! Hope y’all are having a blessed day.
I had my baby in October of 2023 and I am on the same boat. I want to have my second already! Like you said it’s not easy but I love being a mom ❤️
I just discovered you guys and I am already in love !! Y'all are the sweetest couple and you LOVE JESUS and aren't afraid of telling everyone 😍 I can't wait to catch up on all of your videos 😊 Thanks for sharing y'all's life with us !!
Be fruitful and multiply girl!!! Don’t let negative comments scare you about having more kids!
Y’all are amazing! My aunt is having her first baby at 40! And she’s going through it rn!
Wow! I had my last at 35. She can do this. Tell her to take it just one day at a time. For me thinking too much into the future drove me a little crazy. 😊
First I wanna start by saying congrats on the beautiful little girl! She's so adorable!
2nd I wanna say. I totally know how you feel about wanting another little one so soon 🥰 you are soo so sooo not alone! In fact I got pregnant with our second when I was 9 months post partum. ! One thing I will say is, I do wish I would have waited at least a full year so that my body could fully heal. Physically it's been alot more painful towards the end of the pregnancy. But, sickness wise it's been alot better. Of course you guys do what's best for you and your little family ❤️🥰 but I do recommend at least giving yourself a year. It's alot harder being pregnant with a toddler. My son has begun to realize now that something is about to change and it's caused him to act out just a little lol preferring dad before me lol but he's coming around again and wanting momma snuggles. It's not easy and I'm sure you're already aware. But as much as I am excited to have our second. I am still a little nervous. But, by God's grace I know everything will be OK if I lean and trust in him! And the same will be for you! God bles you and your sweet family!
Soph you were born to be a mom you look so happy!!
Lecithin supplements help prevent mastitis. You guys are young but seem quite mature. So if you want to have children close in age then that's entirely up to you. Your little baby girl seems so calm & quiet. Such a big blessing.
Honestly when I found out I was having a second one before my daughter was turning one it truly scared me. My daughters dad wanted them close in age but I didn’t really want one yet. It’s honestly is hard because my little is not 7 months and I’m at the point in pregnancy where I am struggling to breath and I get light headed. I have to tend to her through the night almost every hour. Sometimes it’s just her crying from a dream where her eyes are closed. Then adding in December she started having seizures so it all is very difficult. I love both kids and I’m trying to enjoy the pregnancy but it’s definitely not like my first pregnancy. 😅
When y’all do decide when just remember that it is difficult and keeping in mind that as long as y’all communicate& work together y’all will get through it.
Y’all are the sweetest and God loving people I have seen. I have 4 siblings and i love having a big family! I have 2 brothers who are a year apart and are best friends! Y’all are such good parents and a child would be blessed to be apart of your family!!! Love y’all
Have as many babies as you LIKE when YOU feel its right!! Youvare AMAZING together and amazing parents!! As a mama ofSIX kiddos (successfully raised) i WISH i could have just one more!! I'm 48 now, so have them NOW, and enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!! Love you both SO much!!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉😂😂😂
Sophia do what’s best for you!!! I also want to have a handful of kids close in age when I get married! You are such an inspiration to me and I want to thank you for always bringing a bit of joy into my life❤❤❤
My two are 17m apart (so I caught when my first was 8m old) and the only thing I’d change if I could go back would be to make the gap even smaller! Honestly! I love the small gap and there are so many little perks that come with it like both children still napping giving you a little down time in the chaos and both children also never knowing a life without eachother. Still having all the baby things and hand me downs too. The pregnancy was a bit more difficult than the first because having baby to look after whilst pregnant obviously doesn’t allow you much time to feel sorry for yourself or rest but it’s such a short time in the grand scheme of things vs the reward at the end and so long as you have good support you can absolutely do it. I say go for it guys, if you know you want more than one child in the long run then there is no right or wrong age gap. All have their own pros and cons and if you feel young enough and feel you have the energy for a young family then do it! ❤️
The original song is from the civil war. And its original name was “when Johnny comes marching home.”
Just take care of your heart. We want you both happy and healthy ❤
Soph looks so happy I love this!
You guys are going to continue to do great!!!!! I love your little family!!!!
Honey, y'all do y'all. Don't let the people who disagree or don't understand affect you. Y'all know yourselves better than anyone else, and you know what you can handle. You have another baby when you're ready. This is y'alls choice.
I started having babies really early. It was hard. I wish they were closer together. 4 yrs apart is too long. Our baby is 18 now and graduating highschool. I'm going on 43, and while it is hard facing an "empty nest" and the next season I am happy that I am doing it now and not still going my family. Do whatbis right for y'all. Super adorable family and in my prayers.
She’s so sweet she’s growing so fast just wait till she starts walking then y’all will be on y’all’s toes every second
Don't worry about what other people say my girls are close in age and I wouldn't change a thing so if you want to have more kids and have them close in age do it just don't listen to the idiots that try to tell you you should wait
Maybe what worked for you doesn't work for everyone. I paused the video because someone was talking to me, so I don't know what was said yet.
I have seen a lot of comments like this though, both sides should be talked about. Every child is unique, and you sound like you should know what I'm talking about.
Like if they have another baby now and the kids are a year apart, it can come with challenges. Especially if the first born excels at everything and does everything early.
You have two babies with very different schedules. And if you are breast feeding both, depending on when you stop breast feeding the first, some people do it longer. Or if you need to cook breakfast and feed one while breast feeding the other, and you have to pee. 😂. Might not seem like a big deal but a womans bladder sometimes isn't able to wait as long after having a baby... I don't think it hurts to give them all the possible info so they don't go into it expecting it to be easy , because it's not always easy.
What if they do and he ends up working lots or something and she has to do it all on her own, moms do it but it's hard even when it's easy. You know?
Loved this!!!! ❤❤❤❤ sending so many prayers and love to yall and all the beautiful healthy babies!!!! ❤❤❤❤
When you talked about other kids sleeping different, that definitely happened with us. Our son, first born, was great and our daughter, second born, didn't sleep through the night until she was like 2yr old. They are 18 months apart and I love that age gap
Girl you do you. If you want a kid that’s your choice don’t let anyone change your mind or upset you. It’s your life your body your family
So sweet!!!
Typically the more pumping you do the more you produce. More output tells your body it needs to make more. Eventually your body will get used to only producing as much as she eats but you have to let it self regulate. This advice is coming from a mom of 3. Hopefully you can figure out a smooth system for you and her. :)
No reason not to be pumping and freezing your excess and Dad's can share in the bonding experience of bottle feeding. If you don't have use for all of your breast milk, you can donate it. Call the hospital and ask if they have a need. 😊❤
thanks so much for the update! Glad yall are doing well!
Baby girls is getting so big!! Love you guys and your openness about the struggles. As a mom of 3, i can tell you the first 4 months are rough! Everyone is running on minimal sleep. Its survivial mode at first . You both are rockin it and taking on the roles so evenly. Its a learning curve binging a baby into the world and learning how to breastfeed all at the same time
I love your enthusiasm about having a big family. I am 19 and also wanna be pregnant and have a bunch of kids. Problem is even though I am engaged and in a long lasting relationship we cant afford to have babies now. We both have to finish school and be stable. My only advice would be to wait six months so your body can heal before getting pregnant again, so you can get pregnant many many times without any issues. Because if you had back to back pregnancies over a long period of time your body might give out. Doctors say to wait a year but I feel you, a year feels way too long. So i believe six months will do😂 Wish you the best ❤
Y’all are sooo sweet and inspiring ❤ and I’m sorry Taylor but I have to say I see a lot of Soph in MM
I have 3 under 3 and I got all the same comments. It’s so annoying but you guys should do what you want!! You’re great parents ❤️
I’m pregnant with our first. Everyone has been super nice when finding out we’re expecting, but I absolutely hate the back-handed comments. "Awwwww, congratulations! But just WAIT until…" and they always bring up something negative.
I must say I have enjoyed following the two of you!! With the faith you have and love for each other you will be blessed and enjoy your future!! I’m proud of you two wonderful parents such a beautiful little princess you have!!
Ultimately it is up to God, so no one else matters.
The newborn stage is the besttttt. Two year olds are another story!
I had 3 kids in 5 years of marriage. Don't let anyone to make you feel pressured by anyone. I wanted kids my whole life. I got pregnant on my honeymoon and my boys are 30 months and then my daughters 33 months later. God decided I was done. I never used birth control after any of my children except for one month after my second son. I had allergic responses to everything. God knows what he wants us to have. I specifically Prayed that IF I wasn't to have a daughter please do not allow me to become pregnant. I was expecting 3 weeks after that prayer and I have the most beautiful Family with a daughter who is Beautiful. She will be 30 this year! God is so Phenomenally So Good! We are Blessed 3 times in less than 5 years!!! God bless you!
My daughter drank breast milk until she was almost 4. I froze so much. I also donated to the neocare at the hospital. Our Pediatrician asked me to help because my milk was incredible.
I love you guys so much!! Glad things are going well! ❤
Omg❤ she is so precious she was watching soph for a few mins in the video and then went back to sleep
I'm not telling you how or when yo have your next child I'm just suggesting you discuss it with your doctor and make sure your all healed up and also make sure your heart is fixed and no other complications love yo yall and good luck
If she wanted your advice, she’d ask for it.
@dearleah7299 Wow, so rude.
@@09happinessalways I don’t care what you think of me. You are obsessed with me, and that if the truth. You have been reported for bullying.
My doctor always told me don't wake up a kid to feed them they will wake up if they are hungry enough!
It’s nobody’s business how many children you wanna have if you can support them and you love them go for it
This looks meant to be! You guys are so blessed 🥹
My husband is the same way. He sleeps so deeply at night, and honestly, I'm glad because during the day he's rested and can take care of our other children and with our first he took care of our son when I wasn't breastfeeding. We both can't be sleep deprived. It's not good for our marriage or our children.
Our daughter was easy until 3.5 months or so and then a switch flipped! She lulled us into a false sense of security for sure.
We've flown with her twice and never regretted not bringing the stroller. We just wear her and it's never been a big deal.
So good to see you again. And that everyone is doing well.
When the baby stares at your eyes that means she wants to bond so she needs lotta long-term eye contact and soft love language. This will be very beneficial for her for the rest of her life and for your relationship with her through those toddler years and teen years. I really think that the Lord will be coming to get his bride fairly soon, but it’s still wonderful to bond with the baby and let the baby bond with you ~it’s a love story in its purest form.
Y’all are the best!!! Love your Chanel!!!! ❤❤❤
Just be very careful traveling especially this time of year, there is all kinds
Of Flues going around, lung issues lots of sickness. Try to keep her face covered
as much as possible on the plane especially.
God bless, stay safe🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Yall are so cute!! Take advatage of every moment and charish every memory becauae i remember all those feelings and moments with my only daughter like it was last week and ahe just turned 13.
I’m one of five daughters and my oldest sister is 11 months older than me and then my sister next to me is 17 months younger than me so we’re all very very close. I think it’s great to have children close together so that they are not alone.
She sounds happy and healthy! Thank God for that supply! With my third unfortunately i did not have a good supply.
Pray for them🙏🏼💓
SUPERPARENTS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ SO INSPIRED BY YOU WE ARE GUNNA START TRYING THIS YEAR ❤❤❤❤❤ I HOPE TO DOCUMENT IT LIKE YOU GUYS DID!’ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I gotta say, I just love y’all so so much … and I say have those babies as close in age, and as many as you want. ❤❤
Awwe the cutest little family right there. Go make all the babies you want ..
❤it's your life ❤ you couldn't be more right when saying , you having or not having babies Doesn't EFFECT ANY OF OUR LIVES. Don't let the trolls get ya .
Have all the kids! My husband and I were married at 21 and 22.. Got pregnant 5 months later. We had 4 kids in 6 years. We were military so we chose to not have any more. My only regret is not leaving it to God and not having more. Biggest advice, don't let people dictate your family. You'll get comments but its between the 2 of you and God, no one else.
You guys live in Athens during school & haven't heard about Dr. Denmark? Dr. Denmark was an AWESOME pediatrician & helped deveop the whooping cough vaccine. Hawthorne Pharmacy has Denmark's baby book.
Such a Beautiful Family!!❤
from one mom to another, go through the toddler stage and then decide if you would like another, thats when things get wild haha we have a 2 yo and are having a newborn in a few weeks so we will see how that goes, hoping having a newborn with a toddler is easier than being pregnant with a toddler
Don't listen to the negative just waits, the positive just waits are way better and more of what you remember. Just wait for the first smile, the first belly laugh, the baby gaze, the first roll, the way they interact with you and eventually their sibling. Sit back and watch your kids play together and laugh together, it is seriously the best thing in the world
Awe!!! Im so happy for you!!!
Sophie you know your body & it’s your choice screw what others think, if your ready for baby 2 go for it❤
Love that you two have an easier baby. I think God does it on purpose so that we have more children and get use to becoming a parent. He goes easy on us but at the time it felt like a lot. My first baby was a boy, he is two now and was soooo easy compared to my daughter who is now 5 months. Enjoy it, happy for you two! & love the videos. Hope you guys see this comment. ♥️
Our first has been super challenging and we're still having another lol. They'll be about 1.5 years apart.
