So adorable! The only thing I don’t like about personalized items is you can’t use them for future children, but they are so cute! She has such a beautiful name!
Brittany Post I agree with and you can’t particularly sell or donate it to someone unless they have a baby with the same name. I get with stuffies and blankets because you might want to keep a few for keepsakes, but for furniture it’s hard unless you decide to repaint it.
Brittany Post exactly. At least with teddies they can keep them on display for years and then keep them somewhere for the rest of their life but with the nappy bag you’ll use it for a couple years then you’ll never use it again and it’s not something you’d keep as a keepsake
Agree, though I guess with the towels, basket, toys and toy chest River can use them in future years as a child. And the dandelion outfit is cute. I’d maybe not have personalised the nappy bag, changing mat and bibs, given they’re only used for a short time
I feel like you would be a great kids clothing designer as I faced the same issue shopping for my nieces. I hated super bright pink, cartoonish clothes. I just wanted some nice neutral, sweet clothes. And I especially didn't want some of those horrible "future princess pole dancer" bright monstrosities.
That name is absolutely beautiful, I love River alone but River Wren just flows so nicely, all the stuff is lovely too, I live neutral colours too, it just looks nicer than bright colours and florals to me
I love when babies are dressed like babies and allowed to be their sweet selves. River's clothes are so cute! Very similar styling to Luna Legend (whose clothes are also so adorable). And I LOVE the blazer!
Just read your blog over on My First Years web pages, thanks for sharing your experiences from those first few hours, days and weeks. I don't have children, but have loved seeing your journey, appreciated your honesty and been so happy when you first introduced River to the world. You are a very caring, loving and maternal women and River is very lucky to have you and Mike as parents. Keep this content coming - I have so many fears associated with becoming a mum and you show that those feelings are shared by others and things do can will work their way out. THANK YOU! x'
I'm 9 weeks pregnant and obviously haven't told anyone about the baby yet .. Apart from my husband haha! I'm binge watching all baby videos because I'm so excited. Love everything that you got 😘 xx
You are so beautiful! I'm glad to see that you are adjusting good, motherhood is a blessing, yet confusing, happy, with many mixed emotions, it's finding your balance. It's always an added bonus, when you can go out and do a little something nice for yourself. Now the baby, I can hear her jib jabbering, so dang cute! The clothes are so cute, adorable and look very comfy for her.
My god, such a lovely video and such a touching blog post. Thank you Fleur for being so honest and upfront. You’re a great inspiration to all new mums out there xx
Love the blazer and your ideas for styling it. You definitely strike me as having a smart (chic and classic) style that a blazer would slip nicely into
I’m loving all of the new baby content. I had my son 10 years ago now and have been told next time I have to have a c section. Absolutely terrified of the idea of it, I would love to hear your experience. You’re doing an amazing job so far ❤️
I'm far from having or even wanting a child, but I found myself enjoying all your baby and maternity videos just as much as I enjoy the rest of your content :)
Fleur I love your baby clothes, I really love black white and grey on babies. You look incredible I am still so big after my second child I would love to hear how you are getting back in shape as you look back to your old self already. Great video x
I love your taste in baby clothes Fleur, right up my street!! Your videos always make me smile. Blazers are the way to go! A black blazer, t-shirt and jeans! can’t go wrong! Xx
I have the same taste in baby clothes and I love primary.com. I love that I can get black and grey dresses with no logos on them...never thought that would be so hard to find in baby girl clothes.
Such a lovely video Fleur! It’s clear your so so happy being a mum and a very fashionable one at that 😊. Rivers clothes are adorable too! As a new mum too it’s nice to see other moms being open and honest about their experiences 😊 xx
Hey Fleur i loved this video! I'm also a massive fan of your Routine Videos and would love to see a video of your Routine as a new mom! Like how you and your baby get ready together, your hair and make up, your and babys food and a casual day in the life! Stay as you are and I send you and your family much love from Germany!!
You can wash changing mats I always washed up and dried on radiator nicely I had a very sickly baby boy and he was constantly needing the mat washing x congratulations ur doing fab yummy mummy xxxx
loved this video fleur! I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl on Friday and have just been on to my first years to order some of these lovely bits. Lots of love to your little family xx
So much cute stuff! I'm loving these baby video- I'm not a parent, and have no interest in being one, but I like these videos anyway. Love it when other people have babies!
I am loving the new baby content added in with your usual videos! Don't listen to the people complaining about the fact that you're talking about River and baby things more often. They don't understand the shift in focus that takes place when you become a parent. I am subscribed to many channels and I have noticed that youtubers who try to "people please" too much end up having a pretty rude, entitled bunch of subscribers who forget that they are literally watching a FREE video from their smartphone , tablet, or computer from a person they don't even know on the internet...lol! First world problems! They can skip videos they don't want to watch.
Everything is soooo cute! I especially love hooded towels for babies and the hooded cardigan is adorable 😍. I'm happy you were able to find some clothing for yourself too! I think you look great in stripes 😊
I agree with the jeans thing. Obviously people can do whatever. But I could never put a baby in jeans! The material is just so rough and irritating. Plus since it's so thick, it ends up being lumpy and baby is having to lay on that. I also have never seen a baby in jeans that actually fit. The waist is always too large and the legs and bottom are lumpy. Ok enough ranting about baby jeans. The things you got are all beautiful!
My baby boy is only wearing his first pair of jeans at 11 months! Can’t imagine jeans on a newborn 😂 he was just in gros for the first few months and then I felt like I could put him in trackies and tops after that in the day and he has worn shorts and t shirts over the summer lol
I love Black too, But since I'm studying fashion management and am learning about materials and such, I know that black color is the most toxic of all clothing colors, therefore I would recommend not giving a baby black clothes on, unfortunately, especially because a lot of the time some of the coloring or toxins can still remain in the clothes😔 I also think that may be why you don't see a whole lot of black baby clothes 😊 not to scare or say you can't, just to make you aware of it if you didn't know😊
Fleur you look absolutely beautiful. Not a bag under the eye to be seen. Love love love all the River Wren personalised things. I am so incredibly happy for you and Mike, strange because I’ve never met you but the joy I feel in my heart when I see you guys with little River (aka Miss Bugg) my heart feels like it’s going to explode. I also freaking love the antics of Piglet, she’s hilarious the way she photo bombs or gets on Rivers Play Mat. How are Spike and Lulu with their new Cousin?
I have no kids and will not have them. All my friends’ children are older. Yet I can NOT get enough of cute baby stuff!! I miss buying baby gifts for my friends!!
Blowing dandelions to tell time? Maybe it’s a cultural difference haha in the USA we make a wish and try to blow them away and if you blow off all the seeds your wish is supposed to come true. Kinda like birthday candles.
megan dye I'm in the UK and I have always known the same, make a wish and try to blow them all away, if you blow them all away the wish is supposed to come true.
Cute clothes and stuffs, but why everything is personalized? I don't get it...it's okey with few things like blanket but buckets and toys? It's not very useful with next children or donation. That's just my opinion ;) except that everything is very nice and your hair looks amazing!
Yay! A new baby video - always looking for inspiration for my little girl Toni ❤️ and I’m sure I’ll be online shopping right after watching this 😆 You are my favourite youtuber, such a gorgeous munter and a real inspiration. Thank you so much Fleur!!!
My children are not babies anymore and I'm not pregnant but I loved this video! And for some reason when I could hear River I had a flashback of the smell of a baby (my babies, but I guess they all smell similar) and it's probably the best smell in the world!! So thank you for that Fleur! Also, you look great and really happy!! PS: I can't believe you go to the boys section first! I only have boys and I love when I go shopping for my niece, the girl's section is always bigger (and pink, so that's why you don't go)!! xx
Try out some of the Danish baby/kids brands - Marmar Copenhagen specifically have a gorgeous range of 'modal' ribbed basics which are super quality, stretchy, and long-wearing. Their colour 'caviar' might suit you, and there's some awesome blush pink colours too, if you decide to go for a bit more colour. :) xxx
You're more than welcome! I'm like you in that I don't like to put my kids in the highly cartoonised, brightly coloured stuff that is so readily available, although blush is always ok, for everyone! LOL. Have fun xxx
Some lovely items Fleur. Please could you do a video on your experience of breastfeeding? My little girl is 8 months and much like you I thought I had a really chilled out attitude towards it when pregnant. However when she came along and it didn’t work for us it was really hard. I still beat myself up about it. Would be lovely to know what to did to make it work.
Adore this video! Please keep up loading baby/ mum content! Would love you to chat about post preg body/ style and body image! You have such a lovely fresh and normal approach, so relatable! Xx
@FleurDeForce The flowers on River’s sleep suit are dandelion seed, when I was a child my friends and I picked them and blow the seeds into the air and say, “he loves me, he love me not” until all the seeds had gone the last blow would determine if he loved you or not loll, not realising may I had we were spreading the dandelion seeds all over the place creating problems for garden lovers by spreading the weeds lol. Beautiful haul thank you for sharing Fleur ♥️ 👶🏻 xx ps I love the “boating” blazer xx
NunaFeedsTheDucks such a lovely story! We would do almost the same (in Austria), we would blow them and see whether there were any black little dots remaining or not, if not we called it "little angle/Engelchen", if so "little devil/Teufelchen", determining if we were a good or naughty girl/boy :)
A.S. It’s funny no matter where in the world we live our lives are very similar lol 😊 have a fabulous day or night depending on your hour of day, I live in Canada but I’m British born in Manchester and still consider it my real home 😊 take care, Margaret 🤗
NunaFeedsTheDucks that's so true 😊! I'm Austrian 🇦🇹 and live in the Alps. I did an au pair stay in England and have travelled quite a bit in the UK and Ireland. Haven't made it to Canada yet - that's where we would like to go next 😊. Have a great weekend and take care too 🤗
A.S. A.S. My sister was an au pair here in Canada many years ago, she married a Canadian and I came here to be part of her wedding that’s how I met my husband. We lived in Ottawa for five years then moved to my husbands both province St. John’s Newfoundland but in all honesty I would have much preferred to stay in Ottawa I love it there especially in the summer, there are some remarkable places here in Canada Calgary Montreal just to mention a few and the people here are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Have a fabulous weekend and you take care too 🤗
NunaFeedsTheDucks what a fantastic story how you met your husband 😊 I'm getting married this summer 😉😀. Doing au pair is great! I did an au pair stay in London and loved it. Both my fiancè and I love travelling we are looking forward to go to Canada, hopefully next year. We would like to do a round trip to see lots of places 😊 thanks for mentioning some places worth seeing! Saying hello from Austria to you, best Astrid 😊
you look beautiful fleur! love all the personalised items they’re so cute. can you do a video one day on your jewellery - you always wear nice pieces xx
Just a question how did you find the confidence to breastfeed in public when you were skiing or just in general? It took me a while to overcome the worry of it, and no way could I have gone on holiday doing it either! I admire that you went on holiday so soon with a little one with that in mind. It took me ages to be able to go out without a fear of being judged for breastfeeding or bringing out a bottle of expressed milk with me
I love dressing my son in black/white/grey as well! A lot of people comment that they’ve never seen him in colors 😂 Oh well! I’m not a fan of bright colors or cartoons either. Love all the items you were sent and you picked out for River! Especially the little cardicoat from M&S 😍
Totally agree, babies shouldn't be in jeans, especially little girls with so many other options! - Although the exception to this has to be dungarees, they ARE AMAZING! :) always! But, I would highly recommend sticking with next and higher end brands for baby clothes. Primark clothes shrink or fall to bits over time, and it just isn't cute. Next also retain their value, my son can wear jeans from them for a year and I can get what I paid in the sale back for them, or I have seen them lasting 4-5 kids. So either way you will more than get your money back for them! You won't get that with Primark :) If you need vests/socks - go to Asda & Tesco, they are the best by far for unseen, gonna get poop covered clothes :) I love what you picked though, so so cute, and loving all the stripes! :)
I could see the blazer working with your style because you love dark jeans and ankle boots, they'd look great with the blazer. You could also elevate the look with your Gianvito Rossi heels. You'd look fab 😍
I’m not a mom, nor am I planning on becoming one any time soon but I still love your videos and the blogpost! I am so genuinely happy for you guys and It’s really refreshing to read your honest take on being a mom! Also, I bought that exact bunny but with squeakers in it for my long hair mini dachshund last week at TJMaxx and she loves it! 😂
How do you find that chair for feeding? I really can’t make up my mind on what kind of chair to get - what will be too high, or too low or not supportive enough!
Stephanie Chitty I read your comment and wanted to give some advice from mum to mum :) don’t stress about your feeding chair just find one that’s comfortable for you, easy for you to stand up from (not to deep!) or you and sleeping baby may get stuck 😂 and arm rests at a comfortable height! Goodluck!
Always enjoy your videos so much! Have watched you for years and I’ve finally started my own channel after being inspired by lovely TH-camrs like yourself XO
I love your videos. Such lovely stuff, have got some great ideas for gifts from this. I'm sure everyone has told you..but those things are 'dandelion clocks' x 💟
I'm not quite sure whether it is just me, but the audio seems quite muffled? Just wanted to let you know if its coming from your end! Congratulations on baby River, she's gorgeous and I'm loving the videos that you have been doing recently xxx
Ah babe I’ve just read your blog post and I felt exactly the same! My first baby....my daughter. (She is 11 now) was delivery by caesarian section and when they handed her to me I felt like “I’m not ready I can’t hold her I don’t know how” I felt so out of it!! The next day I looked at her and suddenly I was hit by this rush of emotion and thought “OH MY GOODNESS I love you so much I can’t believe you’re mine”! I expected this feeling immediately and felt so guilty that it didn’t happen!!! I’m guessing this is totally natural after a section but I feel you babe!!! I was only 22 too 😩👶🏼 safe today she’s changed my life and she has 3 brothers now too 😩😂poor girl 😂😂xxx
Hey Fleur, I’m a long time fan of yours but I’ve never commented before, but I felt that I needed to comment today because the setup and lighting is just BEAUTIFUL 😍
My Harmony test said I was having a girl... my ultrasound last week showed a boy!!🤯. Really going to miss all those cute little girl clothes!! Thankfully I was able to return most of them but River was her fashion icon!! I suppose since you shop in the boy section for her, maybe I’ll still be able to use some stuff😉💙
dandelions :) they start off yellow and then when they go to seed they make the 'dandelion clocks' that tell the time :) These things are so adorable :D
Do I have a baby? No. Am I pregnant? No. Do I binge watch baby vids? Yes obviously xo
Do I have to take a finals test tomorrow? also Yes lol
same up here!
😂😂😂❤️
Right! Babies are gorgeous, and their things are so tempting to buy! I don't have kids, and I love little humans! I have 5, soon to be 6 nephews!
So adorable! The only thing I don’t like about personalized items is you can’t use them for future children, but they are so cute! She has such a beautiful name!
Brittany Post I agree with and you can’t particularly sell or donate it to someone unless they have a baby with the same name. I get with stuffies and blankets because you might want to keep a few for keepsakes, but for furniture it’s hard unless you decide to repaint it.
Brittany Post exactly. At least with teddies they can keep them on display for years and then keep them somewhere for the rest of their life but with the nappy bag you’ll use it for a couple years then you’ll never use it again and it’s not something you’d keep as a keepsake
Agree, though I guess with the towels, basket, toys and toy chest River can use them in future years as a child. And the dandelion outfit is cute. I’d maybe not have personalised the nappy bag, changing mat and bibs, given they’re only used for a short time
This is the same comment I was going to make as well.
I feel like you would be a great kids clothing designer as I faced the same issue shopping for my nieces. I hated super bright pink, cartoonish clothes. I just wanted some nice neutral, sweet clothes. And I especially didn't want some of those horrible "future princess pole dancer" bright monstrosities.
That name is absolutely beautiful, I love River alone but River Wren just flows so nicely, all the stuff is lovely too, I live neutral colours too, it just looks nicer than bright colours and florals to me
I love when babies are dressed like babies and allowed to be their sweet selves. River's clothes are so cute! Very similar styling to Luna Legend (whose clothes are also so adorable). And I LOVE the blazer!

Keep this content coming - I have so many fears associated with becoming a mum and you show that those feelings are shared by others and things do can will work their way out. THANK YOU! x'
Thanks so much for your sweet comment lovely! I’ve really enjoyed being able to share my experiences with you and so glad you liked reading it! xo
I'm 9 weeks pregnant and obviously haven't told anyone about the baby yet .. Apart from my husband haha! I'm binge watching all baby videos because I'm so excited. Love everything that you got 😘 xx
Congrats! That's really cool! :) xxx
Very much same style as you I agree simple colors for baby clothes are so sweet and cute!!
I also shop for my daughter at the boyssection but for the most time i sew and make her clothes myself 👍🏻
I just read your blog post and loved it!!
What a beautiful insight. Can’t wait to read the rest ❤️
You are so beautiful! I'm glad to see that you are adjusting good, motherhood is a blessing, yet confusing, happy, with many mixed emotions, it's finding your balance. It's always an added bonus, when you can go out and do a little something nice for yourself. Now the baby, I can hear her jib jabbering, so dang cute! The clothes are so cute, adorable and look very comfy for her.
Ta-dah! So sweet. No kids but I could listen to your sweet voice all day. Just lovely!
My god, such a lovely video and such a touching blog post. Thank you Fleur for being so honest and upfront. You’re a great inspiration to all new mums out there xx
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! Xxx
Where is the blogpost? X
Candylovesbeauty it’s in the link in her description. “ my first years “ blog post xx
Oh yes I see 😊 thank u x
Love the blazer and your ideas for styling it. You definitely strike me as having a smart (chic and classic) style that a blazer would slip nicely into
I’m loving all of the new baby content. I had my son 10 years ago now and have been told next time I have to have a c section. Absolutely terrified of the idea of it, I would love to hear your experience. You’re doing an amazing job so far ❤️
Oh my goodness, I absolutely adore her name! River is such a beautiful name.
I'm far from having or even wanting a child, but I found myself enjoying all your baby and maternity videos just as much as I enjoy the rest of your content :)
Fleur I love your baby clothes, I really love black white and grey on babies. You look incredible I am still so big after my second child I would love to hear how you are getting back in shape as you look back to your old self already. Great video x
I do like the idea of personalisation of some things, but like laundry basket, baby towel, baby blanket, won't they all get used for your next ones?
Love the personalized stuff from My 1st Years! You should do a lookbook with the h&m blazer, I'm very curious on how would you style it :D
Your hair looks so amazingly soft and shiny, after my friend gave birth all her hair fell out and was so dry. You're so lucky!
Science with Katie it wont happen yet, few more months yet. Bit longer if bfing
It will fall out eventually. You can see it’s already thinning a lot.
Oh dear! Im almost 7mos post partum and my hair is still falling. I'm scared for this I think shall not end! Hahaha!
Mine started at 4months pp and didn’t stop until I was done nursing at 19 months! Now as it’s all started filling back in..I’m pregnant again! Oh well
Love the blazer, I bought it last week. Great taste Fleur
I love your taste in baby clothes Fleur, right up my street!! Your videos always make me smile. Blazers are the way to go! A black blazer, t-shirt and jeans! can’t go wrong! Xx
All the baby clothes are so tiny and cute! It's adorable😍
I have the same taste in baby clothes and I love primary.com. I love that I can get black and grey dresses with no logos on them...never thought that would be so hard to find in baby girl clothes.
Such a lovely video Fleur! It’s clear your so so happy being a mum and a very fashionable one at that 😊. Rivers clothes are adorable too! As a new mum too it’s nice to see other moms being open and honest about their experiences 😊 xx

You can wash changing mats I always washed up and dried on radiator nicely I had a very sickly baby boy and he was constantly needing the mat washing x congratulations ur doing fab yummy mummy xxxx
Your hair is absolutely beautiful!! Lovely new things too xx
Such a great video! We love our portable changing station as well! Super useful!
loved this video fleur! I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl on Friday and have just been on to my first years to order some of these lovely bits. Lots of love to your little family xx
Congratulations lovely! 💕 xo
Fleur DeForce thank you!! xx
My daughter is 10 months today and still hasn’t worn jeans!! Totally agree!! Xx

Jamie Marie I kept all my 4 in baby grows til they were 1(unless special occasion) they are tiny for such a short time.
Yeah I think baby grows and leggings are a better way to go than jeans or cargo pants with babies
I did the same thing Steph! :)
My baby boy is only wearing his first pair of jeans at 11 months! Can’t imagine jeans on a newborn 😂 he was just in gros for the first few months and then I felt like I could put him in trackies and tops after that in the day and he has worn shorts and t shirts over the summer lol

Thanks so much for your lovely comment! You guys on here are sooo sweet! xo
Love the color choices for the baby so unique of coarse I would do all pink but love your style for her
I have no kids and will not have them. All my friends’ children are older. Yet I can NOT get enough of cute baby stuff!! I miss buying baby gifts for my friends!!
Love baby related video!!! You look gorgeous Fleur. This morning I actually read the blog post you wrote on My 1st Years, really liked it.
Cute! I only started shopping at H+M a few months ago, but now it's practically my favourite store!
It’s like “minimalist capsule wardrobe” for babies!
Blowing dandelions to tell time? Maybe it’s a cultural difference haha in the USA we make a wish and try to blow them away and if you blow off all the seeds your wish is supposed to come true. Kinda like birthday candles.
megan dye I'm in the UK and I have always known the same, make a wish and try to blow them all away, if you blow them all away the wish is supposed to come true.
i do both. my mum told me that it tells the time and my dad says you need to make a wish. i guess its what ever your parents tell you.
Annie Woods how do you use them to tell time? Im still not understanding lol
megan dye
megan dye I’m British and I’ve got no idea, never heard of telling the time using them
Cute clothes and stuffs, but why everything is personalized? I don't get it...it's okey with few things like blanket but buckets and toys? It's not very useful with next children or donation. That's just my opinion ;) except that everything is very nice and your hair looks amazing!
olka112 I think it makes it a bit special and you usually don’t donate everything so it’s little bits that are special to just her or the baby.
These videos give me baby fever and I'm not anywhere close to having kids. It's a struggle.
What are you wearing on your lips? It looks great!
Motherhood looks amazing on you Fleur!
So much sweetness in one video ❤️ could I ask your makeup details? You look so put together yet not overdone I love this look!! 😍
Yay! A new baby video - always looking for inspiration for my little girl Toni ❤️ and I’m sure I’ll be online shopping right after watching this 😆
You are my favourite youtuber, such a gorgeous munter and a real inspiration. Thank you so much Fleur!!!
I love that name!
Victoria Mather Thank you:)
Yass!! Fleur I have been hanging out for this vid! ( Along with everyone else LOL! ) You look brilliant and glowy and proud. Loved everything *sigh*
My children are not babies anymore and I'm not pregnant but I loved this video! And for some reason when I could hear River I had a flashback of the smell of a baby (my babies, but I guess they all smell similar) and it's probably the best smell in the world!! So thank you for that Fleur! Also, you look great and really happy!! PS: I can't believe you go to the boys section first! I only have boys and I love when I go shopping for my niece, the girl's section is always bigger (and pink, so that's why you don't go)!! xx
So glad you enjoyed it! Baby smell is the ABSOLUTE best! xo
Fleur you look so beautiful in this video you can tell motherhood suits you xxxx💕

Hi fleur such a beautiful story to read to know how you felt in the first few weeks of being a new mummy.you look amazing.xx😀💗
I forgot to like this one! :P Loved the haul - you always pick the cutest things - for the baby and yourself! River is so stylish, I love it! :)
@FleurDeForce The flowers on River’s sleep suit are dandelion seed, when I was a child my friends and I picked them and blow the seeds into the air and say, “he loves me, he love me not” until all the seeds had gone the last blow would determine if he loved you or not loll, not realising may I had we were spreading the dandelion seeds all over the place creating problems for garden lovers by spreading the weeds lol.

A.S. It’s funny no matter where in the world we live our lives are very similar lol 😊 have a fabulous day or night depending on your hour of day, I live in Canada but I’m British born in Manchester and still consider it my real home 😊 take care, Margaret 🤗
NunaFeedsTheDucks that's so true 😊! I'm Austrian 🇦🇹 and live in the Alps. I did an au pair stay in England and have travelled quite a bit in the UK and Ireland. Haven't made it to Canada yet - that's where we would like to go next 😊. Have a great weekend and take care too 🤗
A.S. A.S. My sister was an au pair here in Canada many years ago, she married a Canadian and I came here to be part of her wedding that’s how I met my husband. We lived in Ottawa for five years then moved to my husbands both province St. John’s Newfoundland but in all honesty I would have much preferred to stay in Ottawa I love it there especially in the summer, there are some remarkable places here in Canada Calgary Montreal just to mention a few and the people here are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Have a fabulous weekend and you take care too 🤗
NunaFeedsTheDucks what a fantastic story how you met your husband 😊 I'm getting married this summer 😉😀.
Doing au pair is great! I did an au pair stay in London and loved it. Both my fiancè and I love travelling we are looking forward to go to Canada, hopefully next year. We would like to do a round trip to see lots of places 😊 thanks for mentioning some places worth seeing! Saying hello from Austria to you, best Astrid 😊
you look beautiful fleur! love all the personalised items they’re so cute. can you do a video one day on your jewellery - you always wear nice pieces xx
The changing mat looks so handy! X
Just a question how did you find the confidence to breastfeed in public when you were skiing or just in general? It took me a while to overcome the worry of it, and no way could I have gone on holiday doing it either! I admire that you went on holiday so soon with a little one with that in mind. It took me ages to be able to go out without a fear of being judged for breastfeeding or bringing out a bottle of expressed milk with me
I love dressing my son in black/white/grey as well! A lot of people comment that they’ve never seen him in colors 😂 Oh well! I’m not a fan of bright colors or cartoons either. Love all the items you were sent and you picked out for River! Especially the little cardicoat from M&S 😍
Totally agree, babies shouldn't be in jeans, especially little girls with so many other options! - Although the exception to this has to be dungarees, they ARE AMAZING! :) always! But, I would highly recommend sticking with next and higher end brands for baby clothes. Primark clothes shrink or fall to bits over time, and it just isn't cute. Next also retain their value, my son can wear jeans from them for a year and I can get what I paid in the sale back for them, or I have seen them lasting 4-5 kids. So either way you will more than get your money back for them! You won't get that with Primark :) If you need vests/socks - go to Asda & Tesco, they are the best by far for unseen, gonna get poop covered clothes :) I love what you picked though, so so cute, and loving all the stripes! :)
I could see the blazer working with your style because you love dark jeans and ankle boots, they'd look great with the blazer. You could also elevate the look with your Gianvito Rossi heels. You'd look fab 😍
LOVE blazers! I also love neutral baby girl clothes. I'm not a big pink fan either
What colour lipstick are you wearing please. Xxxx💖
Could you tell us where you got your top? It is absolutely adorable
I LOVE the blazer! Beautiful colors.
I’m not a mom, nor am I planning on becoming one any time soon but I still love your videos and the blogpost! I am so genuinely happy for you guys and It’s really refreshing to read your honest take on being a mom! Also, I bought that exact bunny but with squeakers in it for my long hair mini dachshund last week at TJMaxx and she loves it! 😂
We're so happy you love our pieces 😍
Those Primark pants are so adorable awwwww
Where is the shirt you are wearing from? It’s so pretty!
How do you find that chair for feeding? I really can’t make up my mind on what kind of chair to get - what will be too high, or too low or not supportive enough!
Stephanie Chitty I read your comment and wanted to give some advice from mum to mum :) don’t stress about your feeding chair just find one that’s comfortable for you, easy for you to stand up from (not to deep!) or you and sleeping baby may get stuck 😂 and arm rests at a comfortable height! Goodluck!
River Wren wov it does sound super amazing she is one lucky likle lady already n will be in years to come x
River Wren sounds a lot like "Riverrun" from game of thrones. Love it!
Always enjoy your videos so much! Have watched you for years and I’ve finally started my own channel after being inspired by lovely TH-camrs like yourself XO
Love this fleur - I found out I am pregnant last week! Btw is it just me or is there a blurry shadow bit in the bottom left? Xxx
Congrats rosered! Exciting times ahead! xxxx
Totally cried reading your blog post!
You have inspired me to crochet gray baby items. Xx
Love these kinds of videos x I have two boys and these still make me happy lol x
I love your videos. Such lovely stuff, have got some great ideas for gifts from this. I'm sure everyone has told you..but those things are 'dandelion clocks' x 💟
Hahaha yep! I remembered as I was writing the description box! xo
I'm not quite sure whether it is just me, but the audio seems quite muffled? Just wanted to let you know if its coming from your end! Congratulations on baby River, she's gorgeous and I'm loving the videos that you have been doing recently xxx
Do you guys have primary.com in the UK? So great for basics in great, hard to find colors.
You should try Name it baby clothing! They have a lot of neutral and dark colors ☺️
I like the blazer...I've been gravitating towards that color combo recently.
Sounds like River is going to be tall.
What do you use to wave your hair Fleur? Love the loose waves xx
love the haul. such cute things.
Love your shirt on this video. Where is it from
Ah babe I’ve just read your blog post and I felt exactly the same! My first baby....my daughter. (She is 11 now) was delivery by caesarian section and when they handed her to me I felt like “I’m not ready I can’t hold her I don’t know how” I felt so out of it!! The next day I looked at her and suddenly I was hit by this rush of emotion and thought “OH MY GOODNESS I love you so much I can’t believe you’re mine”! I expected this feeling immediately and felt so guilty that it didn’t happen!!! I’m guessing this is totally natural after a section but I feel you babe!!! I was only 22 too 😩👶🏼 safe today she’s changed my life and she has 3 brothers now too 😩😂poor girl 😂😂xxx
Love as always and really enjoyed the blog too.
Do love blazers. Esp that one ;) And I adore the mama and baby bunnies. ☺
Hey Fleur, I’m a long time fan of yours but I’ve never commented before, but I felt that I needed to comment today because the setup and lighting is just BEAUTIFUL 😍
Thanks! I LOVE filming in the nursery! xo
River is gonna be a total 'mini-me' baby isn't she....cute!
The blazer screams hi-di-hi to me....hello campers!
My Harmony test said I was having a girl... my ultrasound last week showed a boy!!🤯. Really going to miss all those cute little girl clothes!! Thankfully I was able to return most of them but River was her fashion icon!! I suppose since you shop in the boy section for her, maybe I’ll still be able to use some stuff😉💙
dandelions :) they start off yellow and then when they go to seed they make the 'dandelion clocks' that tell the time :) These things are so adorable :D
Pausing the video mid way to quickly comment, mothercare myleene klass range, basically black and white everything xx
Everything is soooo cute!!!!
