    I’ll never forget my husband taking our daughter, taking my phone away from me and demanding I go to sleep. I woke up 2 hours later and realized it was the greatest gift he could have given me. I felt so much better!

    Currently sitting here with my 7 week old sleeping on me watching TH-cam while my toast is sitting on the bench going cold. So glad to see someone keeping it real as so many people on TH-cam glorify having a newborn, so all this time I thought that I was doing something wrong!! I’m with you girl! We just have to try remember to enjoy this time as they grow so quick and it will get easier ❤️ all my love to you mama.

    Awesome video. His 1 month photo is just to cute. He is precious. No matter how tired you are the smiles & joy still shine thru. I would try to keep him awake if possible during the day. Little man is a cuddle bug. Love it. Much love,buckets of hugs & wishes for a better sleep at night.

    The newborn stage is hard. I remember being so miserable because I was so sleep deprived living in 3 hour increments lol. Looking back though it is the most precious time of their lives and I miss having a tiny baby... :)

      Yes, the beginning was awful. Thinking about it gives me anxiety but now that my son is 6 months, it’s the absolute best and it gets better ❤️❤️❤️

  • @mcastillo123
    @mcastillo123 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Absolutely appreciate you guys posting such a raw and very truthful day in the life with a newborn video!!! I totally felt like I was dying the first 2.5-3 months before sleep training and this took me back to that time!! Haha. Hang in there mama, it definitely gets better once they start sleeping longer!! You guys are doing amazing!!!!!!!

  • @patseemore5019
    @patseemore5019 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes I too had a son who wasn't happy during the night. Sleep whenever you can, lay him down even when he is crying if you get overwhelmed. Take 5 minutes to yourself, then go back and pick him up. It will give you the strength to get through the night. The best suggestion our Pediatrician ever gave us!

  • @bugsinourpockets2558
    @bugsinourpockets2558 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The new stage is so rough! It gets better once they figure out their own routine and what you figure out what's best for the both of you. I was a living zombie for so long. You are doing amazing and Louie is seriously the cutest baby!! Congrats and enjoy every little moment you have with him because it goes so fast. My youngest is turning 2 this year and he's my last baby. I miss it so much.

  • @tayloradams3607

    Watching this as I’m trying to get one of my 6 week old colicky twins to sleep. It’s hard and exhausting but I know one day I’ll miss my tiny babies at this stage and try to enjoy it. You’re doing amazing! ❤️

    I just had my baby girl on Jan 28th and we found out when she was a week and a half old that she has a milk protein allergy. I had to go dairy free or switch to formula. We just made the switch to formula. It sucked to give up nursing but she needed it to make her poor little tummy feel better. Shes now able to sleep for longer and shes so much more comfy.

  • @TheAlleeDelyn
    @TheAlleeDelyn 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My baby had a sensitive tummy at the beginning too. I did non dairy for about 1.5 months and then at his 2 month appointment, his dr recommended us try to slowly bring it back in and he has done amazing. It has been 2 weeks and he doesn’t have the severe tummy issues he had before. He does still have some painful gas, but it is significantly less. The dr said some babies just have really underdeveloped digestive systems in the beginning. You’re doing an amazing job!!!

  • @vijayau9
    @vijayau9 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sasha u r doing a great job! Cherish all these moments till u have the next...😊😊I had kind of back to back pregnancies but still miss the newborn stages... Its such a beautiful thing to watch your baby grow with all the messes including us 😀
    good to see u guys are taking turns. Luckily for me my mom gave a helping hand for a month or so...I am sure u must be missing ur pregnancy. 😊😊

  • @kayleigh1643
    @kayleigh1643 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes I hear ya. It is so so hard. I had my Louie in July last year. We had an awful time with colic and or reflux. We tried everything. It's a killer. Stay positive because It really can bring you down but I promise it does pass. Louie is nearly 7 months old now and hes a beautiful happy boy. Good luck!!

  • @laurawalker9968
    @laurawalker9968 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    He is so sweet 💙
    Really strong and alert too! Try not to worry too much about his belly. This stuff is so common with newborns. They just like to scare their poor sleepy parents. You and Max are killing it! Enjoy these precious days and you WILL sleep again 😍

  • @hayleyandfam
    @hayleyandfam 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The newborn stage is hard, but you’re doing an amazing job!! I know things seem impossible right now but enjoy the little moments because before you know it he will be older and not want cuddles anymore. My son is 2 years old and he won’t let me hold him much, he just wants to run around and play. He’s already so independent, he don’t want mommy’s help anymore and it breaks my heart. Enjoy the short amount of time you have, because soon he will want to do things by himself.

    It's called the 4th trimester and it's the hardest 3 months EVER!! Been there, done that. It's part of the reason I'm okay with not being pregnant again after trying for several months. I don't miss that stage. It was VERY hard. Hang in there. Stay consistent, teach good sleep habits and they will be a year old before you know it!

  • @1xoxshelbsxox

    Sasha, it was so sweet to see you in momma mode! I really enjoyed watching a day in the life of a fellow new mom! My daughter is 4 months old. I miss when she was this itty bitty!

  • @becka7465
    @becka7465 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi, I had to co-sleep for my baby to sleep and to nurse during the night. We had a bed railing with body pillow against it and a pillow between us and hubby. Then, all night I just flip-flopped sides to nurse. I nursed all four for a grand total of 7 years of nursing. Co-sleeping was the only way I could nurse and survive. I would sleep on my side with my bottom arm bent under the pillow, so I couldn't roll. When time to turn over to switch sides, just slide the baby toward you and you go to the other side of baby. Also, sleep during the day, so you don't get burnt out. That saying, sleep when the baby sleeps has validity. Good luck! So happy for you guys!

    I remember these days. I have done the newborn stage twice now and as cute as these babies are it’s tough!! You’re doing a wonderful job! They call the first 12 weeks the fourth trimester but it definitely gets easier as they grow and get into a routine ❤️

  • @courtneya7633
    @courtneya7633 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh enjoy all the moments! I miss my tiny guy and hes only 2 1/2 months old. I was very lucky he was not sensitive to caffeine. That's how I survived! After about 6 weeks he started sleeping about 6 hours a night. I've been back to work just over 2 weeks and miss being home with him. You're doing good mama! ❤😘

  • @jaynez9027
    @jaynez9027 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for a video that shows the difficulties of having a new baby and not just the happy perfect parts. My baby girl is formula fed and doing great so if you switch it’s great too. You always know if baby is eating enough and they do sleep a bit longer.

  • @angelajohnson4136
    @angelajohnson4136 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember those days and as hard as they are it really does go by fast now my baby is a junior in high school...and I totally thought max was home with you on a type of paternity leave..so it’s rough doing it alone all day, it’s amazing how one little tiny human can demand so much time...but it’s so worth it and he is seriously the cutest baby ever!!!

  • @jennifervillano84
    @jennifervillano84 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh i remember those times. My son is going to be 7 months on the 24th this month and he wakes up sometimes at 3am and won't go back to sleep until 5 or 6 am . It will get better. He's beautiful love ❤❤

  • @laurenbird9728
    @laurenbird9728 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Mama, those first few weeks/months are so hard. My boy is 8 months today and it gets easier, but I would do anything to go back and lie with him during the night feeds or cuddling him when he just wanted to be held. Treasure the night time (despite the tiredness!). Louis is so precious! Xx

    I have a 5 year old, and a 6 month old. I’m watching this and crying with you I know this pain so much lol barley got out of the new born stage and I couldn’t be happier lol 😂 wish my babies would stay little but man I am happy when they get past the newborn!! Your doing so amazing praying you get sleep 💤

  • @ashleylynn4960
    @ashleylynn4960 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    We switched to formula too after 2 months he slept so much better at night and I was a much happier human I honestly wished we would have done it sooner ...and his jaundice cleared up immediately too ! Good luck you’re doing awesome

    @shannonmotherhen8701 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Your so beautiful 😍 and Louie is such a ham. My 10 pounder was Allergic to milk also so we had to switch to formula it helped 100% these moments do pass hold him tight he’ll be so big within a couple of weeks time flies so fast.

  • @mollywaldron5736
    @mollywaldron5736 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    You got this mama. I know you must hear this all the time... but it honestly does get easier! Keep it up, you’re doing amazing! My boy is 4 months old in 4 days and he’s been sleeping through the night from 7:30 till 4:30/5:00 for a feed and then goes back off until 6:30. He’s been doing this since he was 3 months. 💙💙💙

    You’re doing great mama! Going dairy free is soooo hard! I’m on week 3 and dying here too :( the worst thing is that it takes so long to know if it’s actually working. This is my baby #2 and what helps me is reminding myself that the sleepless nights are just a stage and they grow up so fast! You got this girl!

    Not sure if you have one yet or not, but if not, definitely get a baby shusher! It “shushes” baby for you and even has a timer on it, and it helped me so much. It’s going to get easier mama! You’re doing so great.

    I started to sleep train my newborn at 4 weeks. Wake him up during the day believe me he will start taking long naps during the night instead of during the day. My 3 month old sleeps from 9-10pm until 6:30am when my older kids wake up for school.

    My 14 mo old son struggles with eczema, Candida, and a nut allergy. I’ve had to cut out dairy, sugar, gluten, and nuts. I eat a lot of soups that I make and roasts, salmon, steamed veg, green smoothies. It’s hard but you learn to get used to it. I hope his little tummy feels better. I remember dreading the night like you said. I actually remember crying because it was getting close to bedtime. It was so bad at the beginning. My mom came and stayed with us for a bit and it helped soooo much. Good luck ❤️

  • @mandyandtim2010
    @mandyandtim2010 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My second son is around the same age as yours. My tips as a second time mom for more nighttime sleep would be nursing in your bedroom - I kinda doze off while he’s nursing in bed and not getting up helps me get back to sleep faster. Also, when he’s done nursing I hand him off to my husband to diaper change, swaddle and soothe back to sleep. You can also do this in shifts so you can go get one long stretch of sleep and just nurse in between and hand the baby back off. It really does help to have someone else’s help in the middle of the night. I know he works but let him help for a few hours at night and more so on the weekends.

  • @snowwhite2709
    @snowwhite2709 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My son had his days and nights mixed up. We decided to adjust his sleep pattern,and for us,so, it took was one day to get him switched. He then slept at night, with one or 2 wakeups. If his largest sleeping stretches are during the day, you could be dealing with the same thing. You do what is best for you and your family,because you will get tons of opinions and/or criticisms. Nursing and I did not work well, I never had enough,was pumping day and night and gave up. Good luck,it will get better and easier.

    I really enjoyed your video. I felt so bad for you not getting hardly any sleep. But proud of you too for nursing. Baby boys sure can drain you tho. I nursed 4 of them. I hope you can start dairy again.. Louie is so adorable and has very good neck muscles for being so young. I love his little cute faces. Your hubby is wonderful for doing his share after work and cooking. Sasha your amazing...

  • @asotto21
    @asotto21 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The first month and half was the hardest for me. After a few weeks of me doing no dairy and baby on probiotics things started getting better. I also took the taking cara babies class that helped give me the confidence to start getting her on a routine that made a world of difference! Anything I could do to help us all sleep more was worth it. Also not sure if he has his days and nights confused but my girl did and it took a few days to help her flip them. Lots of trial and error in this stage but it will pass and he will never be this tiny again. So much love and hugs mama you are doing amazing!!

    • @FamilytaleVlogs

  • @conniestjohn1907
    @conniestjohn1907 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Louie is precious, and dont take this to be harsh, I had 3 newborns at once, its not about you anymore. You grab food when you can even if its cold, you take a shower whenever you have a couple free moments, I even put the babies in the bathroom with me so I could keep an eye and freshen up. My husband some nights loaded the babies in our van to drive around for a bit which soothed them but allowed me to get an hour sleep. Louie will learn how to wrap you around his little finger, not jumping the second he squaks is fine, he will learn to wait a minute. :) No 2 days are the same. I must say I completely agree with Max 100%, the only foods I was cautious about eating was cabbage, brussel sprouts, gassy. My monkeys had colic and gripe water helped worst case scenario. You're going to get on a routine and remember to enjoy every minute. Time goes by so fast. xo Dont be hard on yourselves

  • @Expat_FitLife
    @Expat_FitLife 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had to be dairy free for my son too, I made these lactation-friendly energy balls that were my ride or die 😍 Hemp protein powder, oats, coconut oil, chia seed, flaxseed, sesame seeds and hemp hearts.. and a little bit of water, and then a jar of peanut butter and half a jar’s worth of honey, melted, and stirred together to make the balls stick. Then store them in the fridge. Healthy and filling and a great dairy free snack! ❤️❤️

    @jessa2098 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh I feel for you mama, the sleeplessness is hard. Definitely try to fit a nap or 2 in each day, that was my saving grace. We’re 2 months ahead of you here and out of nowhere got a 9 hour stretch of sleep the other night and regularly getting 5-7 hours now. You will sleep again!

  • @brebre821
    @brebre821 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Omg I’m glad I wasn’t alone with the evening anxiety with a newborn 😩 I would get anxiety every evening for the first 8 weeks after my third son was born because I didn’t know how my night was going to be. Just know it gets better and he’ll eventually learn the difference between day and night

  • @ninamariamedium
    @ninamariamedium 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember these days well. I've done it four times so obviously it gets easier or I would've have stopped with one 🤣 Hang in there, Mama. Sleep deprivation is one of the hardest things to go through. Both mentally and physically but you're doing an amazing job.

    Ye are doing an awesome job he is so cute. I'm past the newborn stage now my youngest is 4 but when they were small I always found they settled at night alot better if I stayed in bed with them at night I used only disturb them if they needed a change. Poor hubby got the spare room and I fed them lying in the bed next to me.

    Those first few months where difficult! My little Mags would only sleep on me. Till I needed to get some sleep stretches for work, I started “sleep training” I do quotations because I didn’t let her CIO. You will find a good rhythm. I worked with our pediatrician and I found that helped. Keep up the amazing work!!!

    If you want easy look for vegan frozen meals which are usually in the “healthier” section. They have non dairy Mac and cheese and lots of other yummy things. If you wanted to eat meat you could just buy some frozen chicken strips (or “fresh ones”) or fish or what have you and add that to your meal.

    It does get easier mama! Please don’t be discouraged 😩 I know it feels like this will be forever but I promise it’s not. You’ll eventually look back on these days and say “wow.. that was hard but so worth it. & we made it!” You’re doing AMAZING! I have three kids, & my youngest is now 6 months old. But when she was born, she had her days and nights mixed up. She would want to party all night and then fall asleep at 5am before my s/o went to work. It was terrible 😂 But I adjusted my schedule and got her on track. I know you got this!! You’re a strong mama & Louie loves you so much ❤️❤️

  • @heathersudano9466
    @heathersudano9466 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    To reset his clock for recognizing days and nights, try to expose him to as much natural light as possible during the day, then no lights at all at night. Turn off the TV, and do not pay with him or even give him eye contact at night (eye contact= playtime for a newborn). You want to limit stimulation as much as possible at night. Just feed, change, then back to sleep. We used a yellow light night-light for changes. Blue light from devices or the TV limits melatonin production, which inhibits sleep. Regular daytime sleep is important too. Babies who are well-rested during the day sleep better at night. If you limit daytime sleep, he will become over-tired. Over-tired babies have a harder time falling asleep and sleep more poorly at night. Good luck!!

    Lewie reminds me so much of my baby as a newborn! Always trying to poo and only sleeps on mum or in the swing 😂 good news is she's way better now (3 months old), so there's light at the end of the tunnel! You're doing so good, hang in there mumma ❤❤❤

    Aww poor baby, he sounds so uncomfortable. Have you given him gripe water for gas? I'm currently pregnant 25 weeks and have forgotten everything since my babies (oldest years old and youngest years old) you're such a good momma and you're doing great!!

    I'm still pregnant (40 weeks 2 days), but I have been dairy free for about a year. If you can get used to eating a meat, veggies, and rice or some sort of carb for your meals that will make it easier. It's an adjustment for sure. You will figure out how to cook with almond milk and olive oil instead of butter :) if you like Oatmeal, that has been my lifesaver this pregnancy! It is also great for milk production. Pinterest has some good recipes too! Good luck mama!

    Hang in there mama! We all have “that” night. I legit had PTSD after that night where my little screamed from 6pm to 3am. It gets easier! You’re a trooper for breastfeeding through his belly problems. Mine was sooooo much happier after we switched to formula. Sams club has some great deals on it!

My kids were and I did this and it worked!! YAll are doing amazing job!! He’s so handsome 🥰🥰🥰

    • @FamilytaleVlogs
      @FamilytaleVlogs  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep!! We have one in his room, usually have white noise going in the living room/kitchen and his bassinet has some white noise that plays when it’s on too and it definitely helps 😊

    My 11 month old would do the same, waking up screaming. Idk how but she put herself on a schedule by the time she was like 3 months and she finally started sleeping most of the night, bed by 7 and then she would wake up at 4 am to eat (when I was breastfeeding). Her doctor told me most breast fed babies cluster feed at night in the first few months. Unfortunately I drank mothers milk tea and my supply dried up completely at 7 months 💔 but she sleep all night now.
    You are doing such an amazing job! If you decide to switch, always remember your feelings matter too, fed is best and he’s a healthy, happy, handsome little guy!

    I definitely recommend you the book precious little sleep. I took the taking cara babies newborn class and read this book and the book has helped me sooo much! I was miserable and so depressed and sleep deprived basically no help because my husband works 5 am to 6 pm and things got even worse at 8 weeks, I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and things are getting better she's 12 weeks now. But I wish I had read that book way before things got so bad! I know right now there's no much you can do since he's so little but at least you can be prepared and have something to do at night lol

    Snack/meal ideas!:
    Baked sweet potato, add a bit of coconut/olive oil (no butter) and sprinkle with cinnamon. Yum!!
    Bake thick cubes of white potato mixed in olive oil, salt, pepper and chopped fresh rosemary at 425F for 60-75 min (until golden)= delicious!
    Salads with oil and vinegar, or oil and lemon juice dressing.
    Homemade bread has no milk- ask your mom to make 😍
    Delicious chicken bake with no milk:
    Throw chicken thighs, cubed potatoes and carrots and celery Into an oven dish. Coat with olive oil, your fav seasoning. Cover and bake 375 for 75 min. Prep is just 10 min and it makes a delicious meal for 2 dinners! (My go to)
    Lactose free milk will help you make mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs etc:-). Best tasting one is by organic valley (trust me, we’ve tried the entire isle of this stuff)
    Purple Carrot meal prep is lactose free!!!!! And yummy!!!!! Give them a shout out, maybe they’ll sponsor you😉. Max, help her cook this stuff!!!!
    Pls msg me for extra tips to make your DF life easier. I’ve been learning to cook for my hubby for years and am getting better. Always a challenge. Xoxo

    Honestly if you have to switch to formula don’t feel bad. You’d probably get more sleep too. My daughter was formula fed and could sleep 4-6 hours at a time by 2 months. I’m just saying don’t guilt yourself out if you have to make changes for your own well being too. Louie’s so cute!

    My daughter never slept in her bassinet. 6 months in and we still bedshare. I used to have really bad anxiety about it, but I researched safe co sleeping and it’s been the best thing.
    Get a chillys cup - keeps your coffee hot for 12 hours, godsend.

    Its such a hard phase! You are doing great mama! I have been dairy free and gluten free for 2 years now for my own health issues, and it IS hard at first! My 4 yr old has gluten and dairy issues too so our whole family has to work around us. After a month you get the hang of it but you have to re train your brain for making meals and grocery shopping. It can be done but its not for everyone (altho I don't have a choice). My son was up every 45 min at night and I was so sleep deprived that I swear I started hallucinating sometimes lol. 😵 What helped was to not have the TV on during the night feedings bc the flashing blue light from the tv made it harder for baby and I to fall back asleep. I know people say cherish this time, but honestly it was such a dark time for me emotionally and physically that I did not cherish that part, and felt guilty about it. I still shudder thinking back on it. Its ok not to love this sleep deprived season of life. You love your baby and that's what matters!

    I went to all kinds of specialists as my little one cried all the time. In the end reflux meds helped a little and some gripe water but he was diagnosed as “colicky”, yes it exits. Nothing to cure it just time. I would say around month 4 it got better. Hang in there!

    My baby hated the bassinet and all ways wanted to sleep in the swing that or be held now he is 4 months old, and he will roll him self over and the only way he will sleep is on his belly and I just stoped fighting trying to keep him on his back and I just check on him constantly
