Most Surprising Things As A First Time Mom!

[@vanesaschaffer2466]

Thank you for your video! Totally agree about needing more lactation support.. my journey was not great. We used a night nurse and combo fed for 8 weeks and then went to formula only. I will say that my formula-at-night fed baby has been sleep trained since 8 weeks and nap trained since 10 weeks. I credit the night nurse and the formula so there are certainly trade-offs. ❤❤❤

And there is no right or wrong way. We do what’s best for us and our babies. WOW!! I wish Quinn slept even half that well by that’s age! Good for you!!

Hi, you are 100% right, I've got really simmilar experience after my baby was born. I'd like to controll everything and i coudn't any more with all the expectactions in my head. The biggest benefit was till my first baby was 12 months I was pregnant 8 weeks with my second and even this time was more challenging in my head was not. Secon baby: no expectations, beeing thankful, one day after another, a lot of more joy 😊.
And there ist definitly to little support and informations for pregnant moms. You are amazing, strong person, and with IVF journey, wow... 😊

Thank you so much for sharing some of your experience! If I get to have a second, I’m going to try to have the same mindset of no expectations and enjoying all the little moments 🥰

Hi Brittany, thanks for keeping up with the videos and sharing your experiences. It really means a lot ❤ You've really helped me since the time I reached out to you about MF and IVF. Now I am in my 2nd trimester and still binge watching your videos. Hope you know that we appreciate all the hardwork that goes into your videos and always know that we are here for you (if you need to take breaks) as much as you are here for us 😊

Thanks for sharing. I’m in the thick of it at 6 months with a koala baby who hates sleep and needs constant stimulation and had colic for 14 weeks. The mood issues and challenges of a high needs baby have definitely been the hardest for me. I had so much anger and resentment and just frustration with the challenges of a colicky baby. I’m glad more people are talking about the range of postpartum struggles. I wondered if I had ruined my life so many times. The days are getting better as he grows but it’s still a lot.

I can totally relate to everything you said. My baby is almost 2 and i miss when he was a tiny newborn ❤

[@brittany_elizabeth_rn]

Isn’t it so hard to see them grow up?!😭 I never understood that until I had Quinn..like I want him to grow but then I miss him little, very confusing emotions lol
