Hey guys💘 Wow it feels good to post a vlog... I really hope you all enjoy it ! Thank you for all of your incredible support as always, you truly are the best. see you all soon! Molly-Mae xxx
Congratulations on the baby! If she’s still waking for feeds, feed her. 10 weeks is still very very very small. She will still cluster feed until she’s about 4 months.
For all the new breastfeeding mums out there worrying about your supply or the length of your feeds. At 6 weeks old 2 hours is normal. It's called cluster feeding. And you can absolutely get your periods back when breastfeeding and this is not an indication of low supply. I got my period back at 6 weeks post partum and I'm still breastfeeding 8 months on. Molly I'm proud you breastfed for 6 weeks but please be careful of spreading misinformation! Also 6 months is the norm and what is adviced by medical professionals for starting to drop night feeds for formula fed babies, not 10 weeks. So all you mummas out there who's babies are still waking for feeds... It's normal ❤
Yes cluster feeding is totally normal, the baby is going through big growth spurts and developmental milestones at that age. Go with your baby, the more you feed them the more milk you'll produce. It does get easier, sleep when baby sleeps😊
I’m so glad someone put this out there, not going to lie it made me mad that she put this out there, not being horrible but other mums are going to think this it true facts, should def look things like this up before putting it out there
Omg molly if she’s waking up wanting a feed, please give it to her, she could be going through a growth spurt and your denying her food to help her with that 🙈 if a baby wakes crying, it’s because she’s either hungry, has wind, needs a nappy changing or she’s teething (a bit early for that though) I feel like your really need speak to a health visitor for advice 😬
Yes, you need to offer milk every 3hours until 8 weeks and night feedings should be offered until 6 months. Definitely speak with a neonatologist before cutting the night feeding at such young age!!!!!
This is so sad. Getting a period is not an indicator of supply! Im still feeding my 4th child hes 11month he still feeds every few hours in the night iv NEVER stop that and tell him he wasnt having it wtf 😢 a 10 week old baby doesnt know routine. Babies wake for a reason
For any mums breastfeeding out there, please be reassured that your period coming back, fussy behaviour, long feeds and sucking hard is not an indication of low supply, but completely normal behaviour for a 6 week old baby. Saying that however it is absolutely your choice whether you with to carry on at that point (or any point) and 6 weeks is Still an amazing amount of time to BF, as is 6 hour or 6 months :) just please don't worry about low supply because of these things xx
Totally agreed!! I went through all of that. It’s definitely not an indication of low supply. Just kept going and it got so much better. We are 19 months still breastfeeding. I think us mums need more help and support with breastfeeding, it’s actually more rare for a low supply to happen apparently? It just seems like we have low supply, especially if you try pump and barley get anything. That’s what happened to me but my boobs never reacted the same with the pump as my baby that’s why I wasn’t able to pump a lot I think! Truly hope these comments help other BF mums to push through if they feel like they want to. It is stressful thinking you have low supply but most of the time we don’t ❤️ the newborn stage is hard for BF but it gets so much easier x
Totally agree. My periods came back after about three months but i breastfed until my baby was a year old with no problems. Not an indicator that your supply is running out.
Thank god someone said it! Breastfeeding can be such a hard journey - I'm so envious of everyone who finds it easy as I haven't! But I'm persevering. Insinuating that you have to stop breastfeeding because you've started menstruating can be really damaging to someone who might not have support or information.
She’s getting low supply because she’s restricting the night feeds to her newborn baby! It’s so sad and harmful to baby not just developmentally but also for bonding too 😢
From Molly and Tommy meeting on love island to watching them have there own house and a child honestly gives me so much joy. Mollys voice is so soothing and make me feel less anxious coming from someone who dealing with such bad anxiety it’s like a god send🥹laying in bed at 2am struggling to sleep and catching up on mollys video is the best feeling❤️keep doing you Molly! You’re both doing so amazing and I can’t wait to see your little family grow and see Bambi grow up to be as caring and career driven as yourselves!
I relate to everything you’ve said here hun, her voice and videos help my anxiety so much too, especially at night when I really struggle with sleep issues, she’s just amazing 🥺🥰
Honestly you bring such a calmness when you upload! Can just relax with a cup of tea and enjoy 30 mins watching the most genuine beautiful family, you should be so proud of what you’ve achieved girly! ✨
Wow you know you made it big when TH-cam comments on your videos!! Can’t imagine my 68 subscriber channel ever being that big but you are such an inspiration ❤️
Me and my partner couldn’t help but laugh at how relatable you guys are! We certainly wouldn’t of paid £17 for parking.. it is ridiculous! But it’s even funnier cause you guys are in a G wagon and Tommy was wearing a dior coat 😂
I believe it’s free parking if you don’t have a National Trust membership. However I do agree with your point in the view that they flaunt luxurious items that yet won’t pay towards a UK charity organisation.
I'd recommend you guys spend the £150/year to support the National Trust, all the maintenance costs associated with keeping parks looking so lovely all year round and with the added bonus of easier access 🙂👍
@@montyharrison-stirling1457 you want them to spend their money so badd. It’s their money not yours mate. Simply because they’re rich enough doesn’t mean they have to. 17 pounds for a parking spot is ass
Loved this as always! For everyone commenting on the breastfeeding and night feeds, every baby is SO different. And every mum knows their baby. Both of my babies were sleeping through by 6 weeks and all health visitors and midwife’s said it was fine as my girls were getting enough milk through the day. Your doing amazing Molly ❤❤❤
So true! people love to jump on other Mums like every baby is the same and they know it all. We have a 7 month old and she also has been sleeping through the night since 4-5 weeks old. She was born a tiny baby but since then a perfectly healthy weight and we don’t feed her for 11ish hours at night as she’s asleep.
For a 10 week old baby they should be feed a few times in the night! It's helps they development! She shouldn't be going that long without a feed. 'From a developmental perspective, babies are able to sleep through the night - defined as a six- to eight-hour stretch - without eating when they're between 4 and 6 months old. In this age range, most babies reach the 12- to 13-pound mark, the weight where they no longer metabolically need nighttime feedings.' Xx
I completely agree, I have a 6 month old she sleep from 7 til 7 but I still dream feed her at 12oclock I know I don't "need" to but if not then she is absolutely STARVING when she wakes so it just suits us better 🥰
I’m not sure where she’s getting the info that around 10 weeks is when they drop a feed! It’s fine if they drop it naturally but you shouldn’t deprive your 10 week old through the night for 8 hours 😢
My baby is the same age as mollys and I mentioned to the health visitor that one morning I woke up in a panic because he didn’t wake for a feed (I hadn’t set a timer as previously I had been and he always wakes before the timer anyway and he was always really on point at waking himself) and she told me that I don’t need to worry too much through out the night if he wants to sleep through he will wake when his hungry?x
I love how normal you make pregnancy and newborn life seen, it’s easy to make it seem so scary nowadays but you’ve made it seem like it can be okay and not terrifying 😊
She’s incredible. But don’t aspire to standards of those you don’t know how much help others get. I did and it drove me to depression because I didn’t realise people got more help with their babies than I did and I struggled massively ❤
So great to see you doing so well ! It's a huge adjustment becoming a mum and your doing amazing, wishing you and your family all the happiness in the world ❤
I just want to put it out there for anyone watching this. Two hours latching is normal. It’s cluster feeding. It doesn’t mean you don’t have enough milk. It also doesn’t mean your supply is going and your baby doesn’t get enough milk. It’s so normal. Only 5-10% of women who actually breastfeed have a reduced supply. Chances are baby is getting plenty, but they are just going through a developmental phase key to their growth. Anyone reading this if you aren’t sure - wonder weeks app is amazing at explaining the different changes they are going through and reiterates how they’ll react when going through them. Simple signs are cluster feeding, clingy, not settling etc. Completely normal baby behaviour 😊
I was going to say I literally had my baby on my boob throughout the day hour apin hour and trusted my midwife who said she was getting enough i breastfed until she was 3 ☺️🥰
2 year old daughter in bed, husband watching tv downstairs and I’m in bed with an easter egg, checked your channel just in case of a new video and you have no idea how happy I was to see this! 🥹 you’re doing absolutely incredible Molly, both you and Tommy should be so proud of yourselves. Bambi is beautiful ❤️
2hr feeds are normal, cluster feeding in the early days are a thing and definitely normal when it comes to breastfeeding. Well done on feeding her all that goodness in the first 6 weeks! I think it’s totally normal that at 10 weeks she’s still waking up through the night for milk I wouldnt deprive her of it 😢❤
So glad people are saying this. Iv breastfed 2 of my 4 kids. Im still feeding my 11 month old now.. he still feeds alot during the night. Iv never dream of denying him that! Its just not normal to think that to say your not having milk until morning like 😢 a ten week old baby cant be forced into a routine wtf
@@simplyytips i'm glad you and some others picked up on this and commented. I don't know who is advising her to deny her 10 week old milk for 7 hours but its terrible advice. Because we live in a time now where more mums than ever are working, things like sleep training and schedules for newborns is being normalised when its infact so damaging to babies and will affect their development in many ways as they grow. Before women have children, they need to be very aware that they have to adapt their lives around the baby, not the other way around.
Thank god someones mentioned it honestly she shouldnt deprive the baby of milk i know its hard waking up through the night my baba is almost 6 months and its gone from 6 times waking up to now once which is really good
I was so happy to see this notification you’re videos are so real and relatable 🦋 Bambi is very lucky you’re such an amazing family and we’re all glad you’re back 🩷
Just for anybody watching this that may also be on a breastfeeding journey. Your period can return at any point whilst breastfeeding, it doesn't indicate low milk supply. You can still continue to breastfeed even after your period returns
@@sfrancies87 It is common to have a drop in supply at certain points in your cycle, often from mid-cycle to around the time of your period. But these changes are temporary and things return to normal pretty quickly for most women. Every woman is different, it could be likely her milk supply dropped for another reason or multiple reasons etc.
I have been breastfeeding for nearly 9 months now, and my period came back after 8 weeks, I now have a period every month now they’re very regular and I notice my supply drops slightly when I’m on, but for any new mums don’t panic! If you are happy to continue breastfeeding don’t worry, your supply should go back to normal once your period has finished xx
It’s biologically normal for babies to continue to wake through the night. You shouldn’t drop their night feeds. 10 weeks is too little to stop night feeds. They are growing.. they need food! It’s actually recommended to slowly drop their night feeds at 6 months.. but even then they still wake up hungry. My baby didn’t start sleeping through the night until 10 months and stopped night feeds at 8 months.
“Everyone should go for free, it’s a field” had me laughing so hard hahaha so happy to have your videos back to look forward to!! Bambi is so stinking cute and your little family is just beautiful 🥰 much love to you guys! 💜
I was looking for this comment I was dying when he said that 🤣 too bloody right too, £17 is a shambles! Yes it may be for a charity but with the amount of people they could have there everyday the cost should be lowered a little for people like me who struggle more and don’t have £17 for a walk around the field, love you molly and tommy! both doing amazing with little bam bam ❤
Hey Molly, just some advice about the suit in the car seat. The risk isn't as much Bambi overheating, the reason babies shouldn't wear coats or car suits in a car seat is because the seatbelts are going to be sat on top of a layer of padding, rather than against the babies body, causing the harness to fit incorrectly, so if there was a collision or crash, bambi wouldn't be safe. A collision can happen 2 minutes away from home, and even if you're a safe driver. An unsafe driver could crash into you. Please research why coats/snow suits shouldn't be used in car seats for Bambi xx
You look fantastic and Bambi is adorable!! I just wanted to say for other mums maybe on here who have listened to your story re breastfeeding that it is common for babies to feed up to an hour or more at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months. They are cluster feeding to build up your supply as they transition through a growth spurt. There is the same amount of milk but they will cluster for days/weeks to get your milk supply right. Just an FYI for those who may think they have no supply and might give up without wanting to. You smashed it by doing it for 6 full weeks, it's so hard but creates such a lovely bond. ❤❤
Hi Molly, well done for getting to 6 weeks of breastfeeding ❤ If Bambi is hard to settle back to sleep during the night, it may be that she still needs those feeds. I think the recommendation is to try and wean the night feeds around 6 months for formula fed babies 🙂 Of course every baby is different, my daughter started sleeping through the night on her own around 12 weeks. I’m sure your health care provider will tell you what’s best and will keep an eye on her weight
I’m just loving this baby content. I also have a new born and its so nice seeing you go through it! Feels so connected. Bambi is JUST GORG! You all must be so proud.
Hey Molly (and any other new mums), the advice not to wear the pram suit in the car seat isn't because bub can overheat. It's because in an accident the seatbelt will compress the pram suit and bub can slip out of the car seat because of the extra room in the seat belt. Always take off the pram suit (or thick jumper), then just lay it over bub once they're properly buckled in.
Thank you for your honesty Molly ❤ my baby is 3 months old and it’s definitely been the hardest 3 months of my life and it’s nice to know that it’s not all sunshine and aesthetic pictures for everyone ❤
Honestly I don’t even think I left the house for the first month!! I was like a zombie! I don’t even remember the first 2 months of my daughters life due to sleep deprivation! But things really DO get easier and you’ll find your own way of doing things and your own routine and rhythm and you’ll start to adjust to your new life. No one tells you this stuff before you have a child. Or if they do it is glossed over! All the photos on social media of my daughters first month show her all beautiful and clean and snuggled up asleep where as If I’d taken a picture of myself I was in stained pyjamas with greasy Un-brushed hair and huge bags under my eyes! But we don’t show the world that side of being a new mum! Things will get easier for you and I’m sure you are doing a great job!!! Good luck lovely! Xx
Hearing you talk about your youtube followers, and how much you appreciate them, made me feel part of it ... We are here to support you and send good vibes only! 💕
I got my period back at 2 months postpartum. I was exclusively breastfeeding and have now for 14 months & counting! Your period is not an indication of how much milk you produce. Mummas please don’t think this!! Go to a lactation consultant if you’re concerned.
As a mother of 3 small children I can say. They will tell you when they don’t need feeding. She’s waking up because she is hungry… looking for milk. Just feed your child in the night.. simple as that. I know it’s hard being up and being tired. But it goes so fast and before you know it and they are sleeping through..
congratulations molly! ur daughter is adorable 💞 i had my daughter at 20 and she’s 8 months now. i never really like people telling me what to do with my baby but i do want to quickly say what made things a lot easier for me and what i wish i knew sooner. if baby is still waking up at night feed her, at 10 weeks they’re only drinking few ounces (just assuming for you) so they most likely will get hungry again soon. if baby is getting all the milk she wants during the day it could lead to her being satisfied throughout the night for me having baby sitting up right for her to wind worked wonders for me. best position for winding. gripe water helps with the discomfort from gas last thing, to get baby to sleep through the night have the same night time routine every night ( i used to hate being told this because newborns do what they want, how can you put a routine in place when they wake up when they want 😭) but keep bedtime roughly around the same time every night, bedtime is always in a dark room with a dimmed lamp if you want so you can see, white noise helps babies sleep and before you know it they’ll get used to it all and start to understand that this is the time to sleep. my daughter sleeps amazingly after having a bath. bath time, fresh nappy/clothes, warm bottle dark/ dimmed room… perfect 💞 also in the mornings draw the curtains, let light in so it can be nice and bright, then bedtime close up for a darker room. babies don’t have the same circadian rhythm as us when they’re born but being in brightness during the day and darkness at night helps regulate that for them. keep daytime naps in a bright room and only make the room dark for bedtime. this will help them understand the difference in daytime and bedtime. i hope this helps xx i’m never judging i want motherhood to easily on all of us so i love to share what’s helped me especially after having a baby so young. love you molly keep doing u, you’re honestly amazing and so inspiring xx
These are great tips! My baby is 10 months and these are all things I wish I'd known sooner! Another little thing I found worked great before bath time was taking 5 to 10 minutes walk outside in a baby sling, the fresh air just knocked mine right out for bed 😝 Night feeds are so hard especially when baby doesn't fit the norm.. my little guy woke up every 2 hours until he was nearly 8 months! I was told once he started solids around 6 months he would sleep better but mine also teethed quiet early, first tooth at 3.5 months and had 6 teeth by 7 months (now had 8 at 10 months🙈)! Then one day randomly he slept through the night at 8 months, when I woke up naturally at 5 am and realised he hadn't woke since midnight I never jumped out of that bed so fast to go check on him 😂
I really enjoyed this video! But being a new mommy myself if your baby is waking up multiple times in the night then please feed her, my baby is nearly 6 months and still wakes up once in the night for a feed so its totally normal 💗💗
Bless her, if she’s waking then she’s hungry, her tummy is so small. She’d sleep better if you gave her a bottle, especially around growth spurts she’ll wake even more for milk
@@lucyclark4881if she has a bottle at 11 but refuses to give her another till 7, she’s waking because she’s hungry…. So she’ll obviously sleep better if she isn’t hungry?
This is so lovely and wholesome! Thank you for letting us come on this journey with you and you’re family P.s the whole car seat thing, so it’s not just that she could over heat it’s also that she is not actually secure in the seat because of how thick the body suit is ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a mum and my baby was a snacker for the first 3 months. He would snack by the ounce for 8 weeks straight which meant I had no sleep for 2 months. Slowly that increased to hour and half and so on. Please do t drop feeds in the 4th trimester. If she’s waking up for a feed please feed her. My baby is 1 now and has a good diet during the day yet still wants 2 bottle feeds during the night. Each baby is different. But don’t deny feeds as they have growth spurts and some days will increase their intake.
It’s because it’s a national trust property. So the payment goes to preserving the grounds and cafe etc. Should get a membership so it’s cheaper. We love ours 👍🏻
Omg can’t wait to watch this ❤ I’m in hospital with my baby girl and we have had a long 7 weeks but she’s now stable enough to have a bath 🛁 so after she’s had her bath I’m going to really enjoy watching this well done getting you 1st vlog done I’m still all over the place your doing amazing.. Beautiful little family x x
Welcome back Molly!! We have all missed you so so much. Every single comment is love and kindness just like you deserve ❤️ you and Tommy make the best team and parents to little Bambi!! Would love for you to post more regularly as we love you endless amounts🫶🏼🤍
If you a new mum watching this and you baby is feeding for two hours, it’s not because there is no milk there. It’s completely normal they are cluster feeding to up your supply and breastfeeding is so much more than just getting milk and just because you have your period doesn’t meant to say you have a low supply. Also at 3 not even 3 months old a baby shouldn’t have night feeds dropped if they are waking. I hate to be negative but it can be detrimental to a breastfeeding journey to hear information like this.
☆ Cluster feeds and night feeds should be baby led on demand. Till they start newborn/infant solids so 4mths to 6mos depending on Pediatrician Doctor, baby, and parents. ◇ Also the thick suit in car seat is not so much for overheating as it is for safety in the straps. The thicker outfit means straps are not as snug to her. If she wore that to bed at night then yes overheating could be an issue depending on weather. ♡ Getting a period is not an indication of low breastmilk supply. Everybodys hormones are different so everyone gets monthly cycle back at diff times. How much she was getting while nursing is usually different to how much comes out whilst pumping. That doesnt mean she was not getting enough milk. That means that is how long feeds take her. □ My 2nd baby was same always attached to me. My sanity went bezerk but it was what baby needed for emotional affectionate bonding. My firstborn wasnt much easier. They are 7 and 3. Night wakes dont always get much better depending on ec kids personalities. What we want as parents goes out the window unfortunetly and we tend to our children how they Each Individually Require it ALL. 🥰😇😍🤩
As other people have said its way too early to be dropping feeds in the night. My son is 18 months & he still has night feeds & this completely normal. Please don't make her go 8 hours without a feed if she's clearly hungry. I'm not mom shaming here I just think you need to be educated.
Please feed her if she’s hungry. There is so much info out there and it’s overwhelming for first time mums but 10 weeks is tiny! Some babies still need a night feed up to a year old! If she’s sleeping through on her own without a feed then fine but if she’s waking hungry please don’t deprive her 😢
Just letting you know you did have enough milk, it sounds like Bambi was cluster feeding and it takes a full week to up your supply for your child’s next developmental stage
You definitely need to feed Bambi during the night. From 11pm - 7am is a really really long time for a 10 week old baby. Also 2 hours is super normal for a breastfeeding session. If you’ve decided that you want to use a bottle that’s completely fine but you need to make sure you’re feeding her properly. It’s like not feeding you all day she’ll be starving and not get the right nutrients or development without milk for 8 hours. Please please talk to your midwife / care team about this.
I thought the same baby’s change their sleep routine all the time , mine sure did and he slept through some nights and some he wanted a bottle and I wouldn’t never stop him from having one and he’s 6 month I think for a 10 week old baby that is ridiculous x
@@elliemarie3786 100% agree. The fact Bambi is waking for milk and she’s not giving it to her is awful and upsetting. People make mistakes but you can’t afford to with a new born baby!
@@livvyoj4509 thing is too she’s giving out some wrong advice to new mothers who look for this sort of information especially the part wear this is the time they start going off their bottles in a night , when it really isn’t at all and saying baby’s can’t wear a pram suit in the car seat cause they will over heat but it’s because if there’s an accident the seat belt of the car seat with not support her properly due to the extra room from the thick clothing xx
@@elliemarie3786 Yeah it is worrying. I hope someone will educate her. If I was in her position I wouldn’t mention anything online unless I have got the information from my GP/midwife as like you said new mums might think they’re doing something wrong because of the advice she’s giving out
Molly please please do not ignore night feeds. I have a maximum of 2 hours sleep a night my baby is my 4th and she's almost 15montjs old. You did 6weeks which is incredible. But please still give her feeds at night you may find she only wants 1 feed if she's waking up through the night especially a great deal please understand she's hungry she's in pain. It's not just something she fancies she's needs the feeds. Hunger is pain. That needs to be acknowledged. I feel like you really need some decent support. She's your first baby it's so hard and you are doing great but mum's aren't perfect. We all need help whether it's our first of fifteenth nothing is easy. Please get some accurate support. And Give her night feeds to avoid her pain
The way you described drying up as she was constantly on the boob, this is actually very normal and is called cluster feeding where she goes through growth spurts and ups your supply and it can sometimes mean baby is constantly on the boob. You would’ve still had a supply ❤
Here for this relatable parenting content 🙌🏻 winding is like the worse part of newborn life - I absolutely hated it! Thankfully it’s not a issue as much anymore at 4 months! You guys are doing great! 💕
Molly you look so radiant and beautiful hun, you are really glowing. I love that you’re not putting pressure on yourself and just taking your little time getting back in the swing of things, I’m very happy for you and this new journey.
You are doing amazing! Honestly the days are long but the years are fast. Please feed little Bambi in the night, I know it is so incredibly hard being sleep deprived but baby girl is waking up due to hunger. Before you know it she’ll be naturally sleeping through and you’ll miss those night time cuddles. You could look into “dream feeding” and wake windows/sleep routine for each baby stage, that really worked for me. Just know you’re doing great and the full night sleeps are on their way
You are amazing MM!! Well done for getting to 6 weeks. Such a great ambassador to other Mums to give it a go. 🤱 Just to share I BF my 1st son for 2 years. I got a period 6 weeks PP with him and we had no issues BF so it’s not always the case that if you get a period it means BF isn’t working. With my 2nd son I was nearly 6 months PP before I got a period. And we are still feeding now. He is 8 months now. It’s honestly just depends on you and baby. Getting a period doesn’t mean baby isn’t getting enough milk. However, in your case it sounds like there might have been other factors at play. Your supply can dip when you start your period, babies can get fussy during that time due to hormones and what not. It’s a shame your local BF infant feeding team didn’t support you better- reach out to you.Sometimes misinformation can stop us in the early days and if only we had more support we might have had more of a chance of going for longer. With that being said 6 weeks is amazing so please don’t think I’m knocking what you did and you are literally amazing to do 1 feed or 1000 feeds. Every drop is beneficial to baby. Bless you MM. You’re a great Mummy. 💙
Love it when you upload but It wasn’t funny finding out things about Molly since I read certain things and I didn’t like what I saw, in my own "about" tab is better explained, anyway. Thank you so much for sharing everything with us 💞
Having your period is NOT an indication of low supply. This is false information. Babies SHOULD still be feeding during the night - this can happen until they are 1+ years old.
I've been watching your vids since day dot, before Love Island, I don't have a baby or anything close to your inspirational lifestyle but WOW I love love love watching you and feeling like im a part of your life. So relatable and honest dont waste good energy on bad people and keep thriving to do what you enjoy most. just cos you have a platform now dont be scared to share what you feel comfortable, stay true to yourself. im from Bath (hoping id bump into you when you came but sadly didnt) but now travelling Australia with my boyfriend and watching this reminds me of home so thank you so much for the content. sending love to you all, bambi is beautiful appreciate you sharing her with us xxx
I’m so pleased you are feeling better! In regards to winding Bambie, if you lie her on your knee facing you and put your warm hand under her armpit so the flat of your hand is on her back and just gently rock her back and forth from a lying to a sitting position - it works wonders! My friends mum is a midwife and taught me a couple of tricks as my daughter suffered terribly with trapped wind. Also putting her between your knees side ways to you and rock your knees from side to side can help too! I also found that if I had my baby over my shoulder and went down the stairs the motion made her burp! You will find your own way of doing things, and you are doing so well!! She’s absolutely beautiful and very obviously loved to bits!! You should feel very proud of yourself!! My daughter was still having night feeds at 6 months - she was a very hungry baby!! Xx ❤
Actually your baby drops a feed by 6 weeks from 6 feeds to 5 feeds. Also after 3months it’s very normal to start sleep training which sounds like what she’s trying to do. Nothing wrong with what she’s doing
@@courtneyanderson4921 they really don’t. A breastfed baby should be feeding as and when they need it, wether that’s every hour or every few hours. But if a baby that young is waking at night, it’s usually because they’re hungry. Sleep training is a whole different thing, not giving your baby milk isn’t how sleep training works. Sleep training is also not an ideal method as babies and children need comfort. Waking at night massively reduces the risk of SIDS x
@@DipIlusion While she’s definitely been misinformed when it comes to breastfeeding, it actually has nothing to do with her age. I had mine at 19 and chose to learn the correct information!
Good to see you vlogging again, from one mum to another if Bambi struggles with wind, use infacol & anti colic bottles, they totally changed my little boys life! He’s so much happier
She was cluster feeding to establish your supply. It is exhausting at the start and feels like they aren’t off there. But it does get better once supply is established. It is extremely rare to have low supply. Studies show even women in poor nations have good quality breastmilk.
I’m glad I’ve come onto the comments and seen people giving advice and knowledge in a kind way. Every new mum needs help and everyone gets stuff wrong! Babies at 10 weeks shouldn’t be going through the night without a feed, and if a baby is waking for a feed you shouldn’t deprive them of that at such a young age. Also, the 2 hour feeds would be cluster feeding. Which is SO normal and not a sign of low supply. Not all babies do it but it is so common and a way of upping supply and/or because they’re having a growth spurt. Really hope Molly reads these comments and takes the advice with night feeds! Xx
Become a mum is hard hard work!!! Every mum in the world deserves a medal!!! Your doing amazing!!! I did 6 weeks of breastfeeding and got a virus and was really poorly so I had to stop and I was still proud of myself!! My fiancé works 12 hour shifts 6 days a week so don’t get anytime to do to the gym which upsets me but it is what it is and this body created a human being I am in-bracing it 😁💙
You might not have stairs, but going up and down the stairs helps the baby's wind come out. Doing squats with her helps if you don't have stairs. It's the change of elevation that does it xx
I am so glad you’re feeling better in yourself❤ You’re a credit both to your beautiful baby girl and to Tommy and you should be so proud of yourself!🫶 I look forward to your videos so much and you’re just so refreshing to watch❤❤
She was possibly cluster feeding and babies wake up at night are possibly hungry. My 3rd baby is currently 10 months and wakes every 2/3 hours for a breasfeed. But well done on 6 weeks. Its amazing x
hi molly, just to let you know, overheating isnt the only reason you shouldnt put a baby in a all in one or a coat. If you got in a car accident your baby would unfortunately come out of the seat, due to the straps not being tight to her body, it creates a gap which in impact would not protect her. It doesnt matter the distance of your journey, please always put her coat on when you have got out of the car. Also, in regards to breastfeeding, baby constantly wanting to feed is called cluster feeding, it is perfectly normal, all breastfed babies do it. I know you thought your supply was low, but it is possible to create a larger supply, if you would still like to carry on your breastfeeding journey reach out to a specialist and ask for help, it doesnt matter that you haven’t fed in the last few weeks - you should still get your supply back. hope this helps x
sorry forgot to mention that your period wont stop your milk supply. if your supply is low you may be having a bit of difficulty for another reason, but it can be worked on with help from a specialist x
Soooo glad to see you back , Bambi is beautiful and at the moment looks like Tommy . I loved watching you with her , so much love there. Looking forward to your next blog . Take care x
You are doing amazing becoming a mum is crazy but please don’t deprive her of milk their stomachs are still so small at 10 weeks old they need regular feeding especially if they are waking up for it and she’ll probably get better quality sleep if she just gets some milk rather than starving her all night. My little girl always slept great but she had a night feed all the way up to 6-8 months and even some nights after that especially as she got more active she still got hungry and thirsty please don’t ignore her 😢
My baby is 4 months old & we still wake him around midnight to ‘dream feed’ him then he sleeps til 7/8am! We’ve done this for around two months and believe if we didn’t he would 100% wake up crying out of hunger himself! Makes me sad to see this societal pressure of your baby sleeping through the night, 12 hours etc and you expect them to NOT wake up/need you once! I’m a grown adult and even if I wake up etc! Completely normal for a tiny baby to wake up! 😢
@@bbyckhx 100% my little girl is 2 and now and then she will wake during the night if she needs something or is uncomfortable for whatever reason it’s unrealistic to expect a 10 week old baby to not need any fluid for that length of time but people are obsessed with babies sleeping 12 hours 🙄🙄 it’s dangerous and stupid xx
I love seeing your videos/posts but I must say I’m actually nervous knowing that you’re only feeding your baby to suit your night time routine at this early stage. It’s critical you feed through the night regardless of how much sleep you’re getting or not getting. The baby’s development is paramount. I hope you get to speak with a professional about this and they direct you properly. Much love ❤
Just so you know, no pramsuit should be on in the carseat not just because of the risk of overheating but because the straps aren’t at all effective at holding baby in the seat in the case of a crash. Not worth the risk. ❤
Absolutley! Really sadly the pressure to make babies sleep through is societal and honestly just adds stress for mum and dad! It is so normal for babies to wake be it for comfort or hunger or just because they have immature circadian rhythm. All babies will sleep through when they are ready. 😊❤️You’re doing just great! Xx
@Morgan williamson many of them have received their information from nurses or midwives though, if they are parents, or through research. Plenty of reliable NHS backed resources out there - la leche, etc.
Congratulations on the baby! If she’s still waking for feeds, feed her. 10 weeks is still very very very small. She will still cluster feed until she’s about 4 months.
The way Bambi looks so lovingly at you and just from her eyes you can tell she feels so loved and comforted and that makes my heart so so warm 🥹
For all the new breastfeeding mums out there worrying about your supply or the length of your feeds. At 6 weeks old 2 hours is normal. It's called cluster feeding. And you can absolutely get your periods back when breastfeeding and this is not an indication of low supply. I got my period back at 6 weeks post partum and I'm still breastfeeding 8 months on. Molly I'm proud you breastfed for 6 weeks but please be careful of spreading misinformation! Also 6 months is the norm and what is adviced by medical professionals for starting to drop night feeds for formula fed babies, not 10 weeks. So all you mummas out there who's babies are still waking for feeds... It's normal ❤
Yes cluster feeding is totally normal, the baby is going through big growth spurts and developmental milestones at that age. Go with your baby, the more you feed them the more milk you'll produce. It does get easier, sleep when baby sleeps😊
I’m so glad someone put this out there, not going to lie it made me mad that she put this out there, not being horrible but other mums are going to think this it true facts, should def look things like this up before putting it out there
Omg molly if she’s waking up wanting a feed, please give it to her, she could be going through a growth spurt and your denying her food to help her with that 🙈 if a baby wakes crying, it’s because she’s either hungry, has wind, needs a nappy changing or she’s teething (a bit early for that though) I feel like your really need speak to a health visitor for advice 😬
Yes, you need to offer milk every 3hours until 8 weeks and night feedings should be offered until 6 months.
Definitely speak with a neonatologist before cutting the night feeding at such young age!!!!!
This is so sad. Getting a period is not an indicator of supply! Im still feeding my 4th child hes 11month he still feeds every few hours in the night iv NEVER stop that and tell him he wasnt having it wtf 😢 a 10 week old baby doesnt know routine. Babies wake for a reason
For any mums breastfeeding out there, please be reassured that your period coming back, fussy behaviour, long feeds and sucking hard is not an indication of low supply, but completely normal behaviour for a 6 week old baby. Saying that however it is absolutely your choice whether you with to carry on at that point (or any point) and 6 weeks is Still an amazing amount of time to BF, as is 6 hour or 6 months :) just please don't worry about low supply because of these things xx
Totally agreed!! I went through all of that. It’s definitely not an indication of low supply. Just kept going and it got so much better. We are 19 months still breastfeeding. I think us mums need more help and support with breastfeeding, it’s actually more rare for a low supply to happen apparently? It just seems like we have low supply, especially if you try pump and barley get anything. That’s what happened to me but my boobs never reacted the same with the pump as my baby that’s why I wasn’t able to pump a lot I think! Truly hope these comments help other BF mums to push through if they feel like they want to. It is stressful thinking you have low supply but most of the time we don’t ❤️ the newborn stage is hard for BF but it gets so much easier x
Yep, pumping is no indication of supply - babe is better as getting milk than a pump is ❤
Totally agree. My periods came back after about three months but i breastfed until my baby was a year old with no problems. Not an indicator that your supply is running out.
Thank god someone said it! Breastfeeding can be such a hard journey - I'm so envious of everyone who finds it easy as I haven't! But I'm persevering. Insinuating that you have to stop breastfeeding because you've started menstruating can be really damaging to someone who might not have support or information.
She’s getting low supply because she’s restricting the night feeds to her newborn baby! It’s so sad and harmful to baby not just developmentally but also for bonding too 😢
I find so much comfort in your videos Molly, especially when Tommy is in them also, and now Bambi too of course. 🥀❤️
You saw my sisters friend today 😊xx

Hey 👍

Me and my partner couldn’t help but laugh at how relatable you guys are! We certainly wouldn’t of paid £17 for parking.. it is ridiculous! But it’s even funnier cause you guys are in a G wagon and Tommy was wearing a dior coat 😂
And just won millions in his last fight 😂
I believe it’s free parking if you don’t have a National Trust membership. However I do agree with your point in the view that they flaunt luxurious items that yet won’t pay towards a UK charity organisation.
I'd recommend you guys spend the £150/year to support the National Trust, all the maintenance costs associated with keeping parks looking so lovely all year round and with the added bonus of easier access 🙂👍
@@montyharrison-stirling1457 you want them to spend their money so badd. It’s their money not yours mate. Simply because they’re rich enough doesn’t mean they have to. 17 pounds for a parking spot is ass
It’s a charity
Loved this as always! For everyone commenting on the breastfeeding and night feeds, every baby is SO different. And every mum knows their baby. Both of my babies were sleeping through by 6 weeks and all health visitors and midwife’s said it was fine as my girls were getting enough milk through the day. Your doing amazing Molly ❤❤❤
True, always people to criticise so sad x
So true! people love to jump on other Mums like every baby is the same and they know it all.
We have a 7 month old and she also has been sleeping through the night since 4-5 weeks old. She was born a tiny baby but since then a perfectly healthy weight and we don’t feed her for 11ish hours at night as she’s asleep.
So lovely to see you looking so well! You are doing so amazing as a new mum! ❤
For a 10 week old baby they should be feed a few times in the night! It's helps they development! She shouldn't be going that long without a feed. 'From a developmental perspective, babies are able to sleep through the night - defined as a six- to eight-hour stretch - without eating when they're between 4 and 6 months old. In this age range, most babies reach the 12- to 13-pound mark, the weight where they no longer metabolically need nighttime feedings.' Xx
I completely agree, I have a 6 month old she sleep from 7 til 7 but I still dream feed her at 12oclock I know I don't "need" to but if not then she is absolutely STARVING when she wakes so it just suits us better 🥰
Yes and to leave her unattented on the changing table what is she doing this is so dangerous
I’m not sure where she’s getting the info that around 10 weeks is when they drop a feed! It’s fine if they drop it naturally but you shouldn’t deprive your 10 week old through the night for 8 hours 😢
My baby is the same age as mollys and I mentioned to the health visitor that one morning I woke up in a panic because he didn’t wake for a feed (I hadn’t set a timer as previously I had been and he always wakes before the timer anyway and he was always really on point at waking himself) and she told me that I don’t need to worry too much through out the night if he wants to sleep through he will wake when his hungry?x
@Georgia R thank you for this! I went into a right panic that I’d been dehydrating him! Thank you xx
Ahhh i feel so relieved that we’ve got our Molly back 🥹 missed you so much ❤️
agreed
Yeah it’s so good to get Molly back 🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉
👍
I love how normal you make pregnancy and newborn life seen, it’s easy to make it seem so scary nowadays but you’ve made it seem like it can be okay and not terrifying 😊
As a newborn mother you are looking incredible molly, your glowing and I’m so excited to see more of Bambi ❤❤
I can't believe how good she looks!
👍
She’s incredible. But don’t aspire to standards of those you don’t know how much help others get. I did and it drove me to depression because I didn’t realise people got more help with their babies than I did and I struggled massively ❤
i love how relatable you are with bambi, singing all the time to her is so lovely😭🤍
So great to see you doing so well ! It's a huge adjustment becoming a mum and your doing amazing, wishing you and your family all the happiness in the world ❤
I just want to put it out there for anyone watching this. Two hours latching is normal. It’s cluster feeding. It doesn’t mean you don’t have enough milk. It also doesn’t mean your supply is going and your baby doesn’t get enough milk. It’s so normal. Only 5-10% of women who actually breastfeed have a reduced supply.
Chances are baby is getting plenty, but they are just going through a developmental phase key to their growth. Anyone reading this if you aren’t sure - wonder weeks app is amazing at explaining the different changes they are going through and reiterates how they’ll react when going through them.
Simple signs are cluster feeding, clingy, not settling etc. Completely normal baby behaviour 😊
I was going to say I literally had my baby on my boob throughout the day hour apin hour and trusted my midwife who said she was getting enough i breastfed until she was 3 ☺️🥰
2 year old daughter in bed, husband watching tv downstairs and I’m in bed with an easter egg, checked your channel just in case of a new video and you have no idea how happy I was to see this! 🥹 you’re doing absolutely incredible Molly, both you and Tommy should be so proud of yourselves. Bambi is beautiful ❤️
2hr feeds are normal, cluster feeding in the early days are a thing and definitely normal when it comes to breastfeeding. Well done on feeding her all that goodness in the first 6 weeks!
I think it’s totally normal that at 10 weeks she’s still waking up through the night for milk I wouldnt deprive her of it 😢❤
So glad people are saying this. Iv breastfed 2 of my 4 kids. Im still feeding my 11 month old now.. he still feeds alot during the night. Iv never dream of denying him that! Its just not normal to think that to say your not having milk until morning like 😢 a ten week old baby cant be forced into a routine wtf
@@simplyytips i'm glad you and some others picked up on this and commented. I don't know who is advising her to deny her 10 week old milk for 7 hours but its terrible advice. Because we live in a time now where more mums than ever are working, things like sleep training and schedules for newborns is being normalised when its infact so damaging to babies and will affect their development in many ways as they grow. Before women have children, they need to be very aware that they have to adapt their lives around the baby, not the other way around.
Thank god someones mentioned it honestly she shouldnt deprive the baby of milk i know its hard waking up through the night my baba is almost 6 months and its gone from 6 times waking up to now once which is really good
Well said!!!!! @@Baloobear5501
@@simplyytipsshe has no knowledge whatsoever, not giving milk to a baby

@@Relaxingnature113🤣🤣🤣 so true. Feed that poor baby lmao
agreed
Just for anybody watching this that may also be on a breastfeeding journey. Your period can return at any point whilst breastfeeding, it doesn't indicate low milk supply. You can still continue to breastfeed even after your period returns
Glad someone commented this! Still so many myths about breastfeeding 😅😅
unless of course your milk supply dries up, like Molly's has
@@sfrancies87 It is common to have a drop in supply at certain points in your cycle, often from mid-cycle to around the time of your period. But these changes are temporary and things return to normal pretty quickly for most women. Every woman is different, it could be likely her milk supply dropped for another reason or multiple reasons etc.
Yes I had a periods while breastfeeding and I did it for the first year
I have been breastfeeding for nearly 9 months now, and my period came back after 8 weeks, I now have a period every month now they’re very regular and I notice my supply drops slightly when I’m on, but for any new mums don’t panic! If you are happy to continue breastfeeding don’t worry, your supply should go back to normal once your period has finished xx
It’s biologically normal for babies to continue to wake through the night.
You shouldn’t drop their night feeds. 10 weeks is too little to stop night feeds.
They are growing.. they need food!
It’s actually recommended to slowly drop their night feeds at 6 months.. but even then they still wake up hungry.
My baby didn’t start sleeping through the night until 10 months and stopped night feeds at 8 months.
What an amazing family , bambi is so lucky to have parents that are so In love with each other as Well as with her 😍😍😍😍
“Everyone should go for free, it’s a field” had me laughing so hard hahaha so happy to have your videos back to look forward to!! Bambi is so stinking cute and your little family is just beautiful 🥰 much love to you guys! 💜
I was looking for this comment I was dying when he said that 🤣 too bloody right too, £17 is a shambles! Yes it may be for a charity but with the amount of people they could have there everyday the cost should be lowered a little for people like me who struggle more and don’t have £17 for a walk around the field, love you molly and tommy! both doing amazing with little bam bam ❤
The hug and twirl with Bambi at 24 mins touched my heart. I do that with my baby all the time and it’s the best feeling holding them so close 🥹
Hey Molly, just some advice about the suit in the car seat. The risk isn't as much Bambi overheating, the reason babies shouldn't wear coats or car suits in a car seat is because the seatbelts are going to be sat on top of a layer of padding, rather than against the babies body, causing the harness to fit incorrectly, so if there was a collision or crash, bambi wouldn't be safe. A collision can happen 2 minutes away from home, and even if you're a safe driver. An unsafe driver could crash into you. Please research why coats/snow suits shouldn't be used in car seats for Bambi xx
You look fantastic and Bambi is adorable!! I just wanted to say for other mums maybe on here who have listened to your story re breastfeeding that it is common for babies to feed up to an hour or more at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months. They are cluster feeding to build up your supply as they transition through a growth spurt. There is the same amount of milk but they will cluster for days/weeks to get your milk supply right. Just an FYI for those who may think they have no supply and might give up without wanting to. You smashed it by doing it for 6 full weeks, it's so hard but creates such a lovely bond. ❤❤
Hi Molly, well done for getting to 6 weeks of breastfeeding ❤ If Bambi is hard to settle back to sleep during the night, it may be that she still needs those feeds. I think the recommendation is to try and wean the night feeds around 6 months for formula fed babies 🙂 Of course every baby is different, my daughter started sleeping through the night on her own around 12 weeks. I’m sure your health care provider will tell you what’s best and will keep an eye on her weight
I’m just loving this baby content. I also have a new born and its so nice seeing you go through it! Feels so connected. Bambi is JUST GORG! You all must be so proud.
Hey Molly (and any other new mums), the advice not to wear the pram suit in the car seat isn't because bub can overheat. It's because in an accident the seatbelt will compress the pram suit and bub can slip out of the car seat because of the extra room in the seat belt. Always take off the pram suit (or thick jumper), then just lay it over bub once they're properly buckled in.
Thank you for your honesty Molly ❤ my baby is 3 months old and it’s definitely been the hardest 3 months of my life and it’s nice to know that it’s not all sunshine and aesthetic pictures for everyone ❤
Honestly I don’t even think I left the house for the first month!! I was like a zombie! I don’t even remember the first 2 months of my daughters life due to sleep deprivation! But things really DO get easier and you’ll find your own way of doing things and your own routine and rhythm and you’ll start to adjust to your new life. No one tells you this stuff before you have a child. Or if they do it is glossed over! All the photos on social media of my daughters first month show her all beautiful and clean and snuggled up asleep where as If I’d taken a picture of myself I was in stained pyjamas with greasy Un-brushed hair and huge bags under my eyes! But we don’t show the world that side of being a new mum! Things will get easier for you and I’m sure you are doing a great job!!! Good luck lovely! Xx
Hearing you talk about your youtube followers, and how much you appreciate them, made me feel part of it ... We are here to support you and send good vibes only! 💕
@Constanza Guerinoni why she does not care she just likes the money she gets from all you sad people who watch get a life
I got my period back at 2 months postpartum. I was exclusively breastfeeding and have now for 14 months & counting! Your period is not an indication of how much milk you produce. Mummas please don’t think this!! Go to a lactation consultant if you’re concerned.
As a mother of 3 small children I can say. They will tell you when they don’t need feeding. She’s waking up because she is hungry… looking for milk.
Just feed your child in the night.. simple as that. I know it’s hard being up and being tired. But it goes so fast and before you know it and they are sleeping through..
congratulations molly! ur daughter is adorable 💞 i had my daughter at 20 and she’s 8 months now. i never really like people telling me what to do with my baby but i do want to quickly say what made things a lot easier for me and what i wish i knew sooner.
if baby is still waking up at night feed her, at 10 weeks they’re only drinking few ounces (just assuming for you) so they most likely will get hungry again soon. if baby is getting all the milk she wants during the day it could lead to her being satisfied throughout the night
for me having baby sitting up right for her to wind worked wonders for me. best position for winding. gripe water helps with the discomfort from gas
last thing, to get baby to sleep through the night have the same night time routine every night ( i used to hate being told this because newborns do what they want, how can you put a routine in place when they wake up when they want 😭) but keep bedtime roughly around the same time every night, bedtime is always in a dark room with a dimmed lamp if you want so you can see, white noise helps babies sleep and before you know it they’ll get used to it all and start to understand that this is the time to sleep. my daughter sleeps amazingly after having a bath. bath time, fresh nappy/clothes, warm bottle dark/ dimmed room… perfect 💞 also in the mornings draw the curtains, let light in so it can be nice and bright, then bedtime close up for a darker room. babies don’t have the same circadian rhythm as us when they’re born but being in brightness during the day and darkness at night helps regulate that for them. keep daytime naps in a bright room and only make the room dark for bedtime. this will help them understand the difference in daytime and bedtime.
i hope this helps xx i’m never judging i want motherhood to easily on all of us so i love to share what’s helped me especially after having a baby so young. love you molly keep doing u, you’re honestly amazing and so inspiring xx
These are great tips! My baby is 10 months and these are all things I wish I'd known sooner!
Another little thing I found worked great before bath time was taking 5 to 10 minutes walk outside in a baby sling, the fresh air just knocked mine right out for bed 😝
Night feeds are so hard especially when baby doesn't fit the norm.. my little guy woke up every 2 hours until he was nearly 8 months! I was told once he started solids around 6 months he would sleep better but mine also teethed quiet early, first tooth at 3.5 months and had 6 teeth by 7 months (now had 8 at 10 months🙈)! Then one day randomly he slept through the night at 8 months, when I woke up naturally at 5 am and realised he hadn't woke since midnight I never jumped out of that bed so fast to go check on him 😂
I really enjoyed this video! But being a new mommy myself if your baby is waking up multiple times in the night then please feed her, my baby is nearly 6 months and still wakes up once in the night for a feed so its totally normal 💗💗
Both you and Zoe posting in the Sam day what a treat 🥰
I absolutely adore you 3 as a family. Molly you are an incredible mother. Thankyou for being so open & honest about your journey. Literally so proud
Welcome back- we’ve missed you -what a loving gorgeous little family ❤
Bless her, if she’s waking then she’s hungry, her tummy is so small. She’d sleep better if you gave her a bottle, especially around growth spurts she’ll wake even more for milk
Why would giving her a bottle make her sleep better?
Because she’s continuously waking up crying because she’s hungry. Waking in the night for feeds is normal for babies.
@@lucyclark4881 cause you sleep better when you’re not hungry? What a dumb question
@@vivianne6161I think she may have meant why would giving her a bottle make her sleep more as opposed to breastfeeding.
@@lucyclark4881if she has a bottle at 11 but refuses to give her another till 7, she’s waking because she’s hungry…. So she’ll obviously sleep better if she isn’t hungry?
You look glowing Molly, so glad you’re back 🥰
Completely agree with you there ❤🎉
Love that you are keeping things real - Bambi is one day older than my little one. Slowly starting to feel myself again as well, it’s a long journey.
You got this mumma! 😊❤
6 weeks or 6 days you did amazingly angel! Love watching these vlogs and love YOU! You’re such a natural mumma xxxx
This is so lovely and wholesome! Thank you for letting us come on this journey with you and you’re family
P.s the whole car seat thing, so it’s not just that she could over heat it’s also that she is not actually secure in the seat because of how thick the body suit is ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a mum and my baby was a snacker for the first 3 months. He would snack by the ounce for 8 weeks straight which meant I had no sleep for 2 months. Slowly that increased to hour and half and so on. Please do t drop feeds in the 4th trimester. If she’s waking up for a feed please feed her. My baby is 1 now and has a good diet during the day yet still wants 2 bottle feeds during the night. Each baby is different. But don’t deny feeds as they have growth spurts and some days will increase their intake.
By the way, the way you talk to Bambi is just lovely. She will be such a great communicator when she is older
It’s because it’s a national trust property. So the payment goes to preserving the grounds and cafe etc. Should get a membership so it’s cheaper. We love ours 👍🏻
Omg can’t wait to watch this ❤ I’m in hospital with my baby girl and we have had a long 7 weeks but she’s now stable enough to have a bath 🛁 so after she’s had her bath I’m going to really enjoy watching this well done getting you 1st vlog done I’m still all over the place your doing amazing..

Welcome back Molly!! We have all missed you so so much. Every single comment is love and kindness just like you deserve ❤️ you and Tommy make the best team and parents to little Bambi!! Would love for you to post more regularly as we love you endless amounts🫶🏼🤍
If you a new mum watching this and you baby is feeding for two hours, it’s not because there is no milk there. It’s completely normal they are cluster feeding to up your supply and breastfeeding is so much more than just getting milk and just because you have your period doesn’t meant to say you have a low supply. Also at 3 not even 3 months old a baby shouldn’t have night feeds dropped if they are waking. I hate to be negative but it can be detrimental to a breastfeeding journey to hear information like this.
Loved this so much, it’s adorable watching you with your little family. Welcome back, we missed you ❤
☆ Cluster feeds and night feeds should be baby led on demand. Till they start newborn/infant solids so 4mths to 6mos depending on Pediatrician Doctor, baby, and parents.
◇
Also the thick suit in car seat is not so much for overheating as it is for safety in the straps. The thicker outfit means straps are not as snug to her. If she wore that to bed at night then yes overheating could be an issue depending on weather.
♡
Getting a period is not an indication of low breastmilk supply. Everybodys hormones are different so everyone gets monthly cycle back at diff times. How much she was getting while nursing is usually different to how much comes out whilst pumping. That doesnt mean she was not getting enough milk. That means that is how long feeds take her.
□
My 2nd baby was same always attached to me. My sanity went bezerk but it was what baby needed for emotional affectionate bonding. My firstborn wasnt much easier. They are 7 and 3. Night wakes dont always get much better depending on ec kids personalities. What we want as parents goes out the window unfortunetly and we tend to our children how they Each Individually Require it ALL. 🥰😇😍🤩
As other people have said its way too early to be dropping feeds in the night. My son is 18 months & he still has night feeds & this completely normal. Please don't make her go 8 hours without a feed if she's clearly hungry. I'm not mom shaming here I just think you need to be educated.
I was so sad and sick today and you posted and really made my day. You’re so sweet and authentic, and a great mum. Love you Molly ❤
Hope you feel better x

You’re actually such a beautiful down to earth person and you’re so humble you deserve everythingg!❤️
Please feed her if she’s hungry. There is so much info out there and it’s overwhelming for first time mums but 10 weeks is tiny! Some babies still need a night feed up to a year old! If she’s sleeping through on her own without a feed then fine but if she’s waking hungry please don’t deprive her 😢
Just letting you know you did have enough milk, it sounds like Bambi was cluster feeding and it takes a full week to up your supply for your child’s next developmental stage
You definitely need to feed Bambi during the night. From 11pm - 7am is a really really long time for a 10 week old baby. Also 2 hours is super normal for a breastfeeding session. If you’ve decided that you want to use a bottle that’s completely fine but you need to make sure you’re feeding her properly. It’s like not feeding you all day she’ll be starving and not get the right nutrients or development without milk for 8 hours. Please please talk to your midwife / care team about this.
I thought the same baby’s change their sleep routine all the time , mine sure did and he slept through some nights and some he wanted a bottle and I wouldn’t never stop him from having one and he’s 6 month I think for a 10 week old baby that is ridiculous x
@@elliemarie3786 100% agree. The fact Bambi is waking for milk and she’s not giving it to her is awful and upsetting. People make mistakes but you can’t afford to with a new born baby!
@@livvyoj4509 thing is too she’s giving out some wrong advice to new mothers who look for this sort of information especially the part wear this is the time they start going off their bottles in a night , when it really isn’t at all and saying baby’s can’t wear a pram suit in the car seat cause they will over heat but it’s because if there’s an accident the seat belt of the car seat with not support her properly due to the extra room from the thick clothing xx
@@elliemarie3786 Yeah it is worrying. I hope someone will educate her. If I was in her position I wouldn’t mention anything online unless I have got the information from my GP/midwife as like you said new mums might think they’re doing something wrong because of the advice she’s giving out
Literally thought the same , baby is not settling because she's hungry x
Molly please please do not ignore night feeds. I have a maximum of 2 hours sleep a night my baby is my 4th and she's almost 15montjs old. You did 6weeks which is incredible. But please still give her feeds at night you may find she only wants 1 feed if she's waking up through the night especially a great deal please understand she's hungry she's in pain. It's not just something she fancies she's needs the feeds. Hunger is pain. That needs to be acknowledged. I feel like you really need some decent support. She's your first baby it's so hard and you are doing great but mum's aren't perfect. We all need help whether it's our first of fifteenth nothing is easy. Please get some accurate support. And Give her night feeds to avoid her pain
The way you described drying up as she was constantly on the boob, this is actually very normal and is called cluster feeding where she goes through growth spurts and ups your supply and it can sometimes mean baby is constantly on the boob. You would’ve still had a supply ❤
Here for this relatable parenting content 🙌🏻 winding is like the worse part of newborn life - I absolutely hated it! Thankfully it’s not a issue as much anymore at 4 months! You guys are doing great! 💕
Molly you look so radiant and beautiful hun, you are really glowing. I love that you’re not putting pressure on yourself and just taking your little time getting back in the swing of things, I’m very happy for you and this new journey.
You are doing amazing! Honestly the days are long but the years are fast. Please feed little Bambi in the night, I know it is so incredibly hard being sleep deprived but baby girl is waking up due to hunger.
Before you know it she’ll be naturally sleeping through and you’ll miss those night time cuddles. You could look into “dream feeding” and wake windows/sleep routine for each baby stage, that really worked for me. Just know you’re doing great and the full night sleeps are on their way
Love you show how it really is as a full time mum and still trying to get everything done really show how real you are
You are amazing MM!! Well done for getting to 6 weeks. Such a great ambassador to other Mums to give it a go. 🤱
Just to share I BF my 1st son for 2 years. I got a period 6 weeks PP with him and we had no issues BF so it’s not always the case that if you get a period it means BF isn’t working. With my 2nd son I was nearly 6 months PP before I got a period. And we are still feeding now. He is 8 months now. It’s honestly just depends on you and baby. Getting a period doesn’t mean baby isn’t getting enough milk. However, in your case it sounds like there might have been other factors at play. Your supply can dip when you start your period, babies can get fussy during that time due to hormones and what not.
It’s a shame your local BF infant feeding team didn’t support you better- reach out to you.Sometimes misinformation can stop us in the early days and if only we had more support we might have had more of a chance of going for longer. With that being said 6 weeks is amazing so please don’t think I’m knocking what you did and you are literally amazing to do 1 feed or 1000 feeds. Every drop is beneficial to baby.
Bless you MM. You’re a great Mummy. 💙
So lovely to see you looking amazing! Welcome back Molly💖Bambi is so gorgeous you seem like an amazing new mum. Can't wait to watch Bambi grow💜
Would love to see a Bambi special vlog and your day routine with her- feeding, napping etc times 🥰
Love it when you upload but It wasn’t funny finding out things about Molly since I read certain things and I didn’t like what I saw, in my own "about" tab is better explained, anyway. Thank you so much for sharing everything with us 💞
What’s this??
Having your period is NOT an indication of low supply. This is false information. Babies SHOULD still be feeding during the night - this can happen until they are 1+ years old.
You are glowing molly!😍 Welcome back we are glad your back. Hope you took all the time you needed before comming back.
Absolutely agree brilliant to have Molly back uploading ❤🎉
I've been watching your vids since day dot, before Love Island, I don't have a baby or anything close to your inspirational lifestyle but WOW I love love love watching you and feeling like im a part of your life. So relatable and honest dont waste good energy on bad people and keep thriving to do what you enjoy most. just cos you have a platform now dont be scared to share what you feel comfortable, stay true to yourself. im from Bath (hoping id bump into you when you came but sadly didnt) but now travelling Australia with my boyfriend and watching this reminds me of home so thank you so much for the content. sending love to you all, bambi is beautiful appreciate you sharing her with us xxx
I’m so pleased you are feeling better! In regards to winding Bambie, if you lie her on your knee facing you and put your warm hand under her armpit so the flat of your hand is on her back and just gently rock her back and forth from a lying to a sitting position - it works wonders! My friends mum is a midwife and taught me a couple of tricks as my daughter suffered terribly with trapped wind. Also putting her between your knees side ways to you and rock your knees from side to side can help too! I also found that if I had my baby over my shoulder and went down the stairs the motion made her burp! You will find your own way of doing things, and you are doing so well!! She’s absolutely beautiful and very obviously loved to bits!! You should feel very proud of yourself!! My daughter was still having night feeds at 6 months - she was a very hungry baby!! Xx ❤
I didn’t think baby’s are supposed to drop night feeds until 6 months when they start to have solids, she’s seems so young to not feed in the night x
They’re not supposed to drop night feeds until baby stops waking for night feeds! That’s usually long after 6 months and honestly, long after a year!
This girl needs help and i hope she gets it fast. Kids having kids same old story
Actually your baby drops a feed by 6 weeks from 6 feeds to 5 feeds. Also after 3months it’s very normal to start sleep training which sounds like what she’s trying to do. Nothing wrong with what she’s doing
@@courtneyanderson4921 they really don’t. A breastfed baby should be feeding as and when they need it, wether that’s every hour or every few hours. But if a baby that young is waking at night, it’s usually because they’re hungry. Sleep training is a whole different thing, not giving your baby milk isn’t how sleep training works. Sleep training is also not an ideal method as babies and children need comfort. Waking at night massively reduces the risk of SIDS x
@@DipIlusion While she’s definitely been misinformed when it comes to breastfeeding, it actually has nothing to do with her age. I had mine at 19 and chose to learn the correct information!
I absolutely love that you named her bambi so adorable 😍 enjoy every minute good or bad they grow so quick sending love ❤️ xx
Watching molly mae be a mum is so wholesome
Good to see you vlogging again, from one mum to another if Bambi struggles with wind, use infacol & anti colic bottles, they totally changed my little boys life! He’s so much happier
She was cluster feeding to establish your supply. It is exhausting at the start and feels like they aren’t off there. But it does get better once supply is established. It is extremely rare to have low supply. Studies show even women in poor nations have good quality breastmilk.
Nice to have you back! Bambi is so adorable 😍 ❤
I’m glad I’ve come onto the comments and seen people giving advice and knowledge in a kind way. Every new mum needs help and everyone gets stuff wrong!
Babies at 10 weeks shouldn’t be going through the night without a feed, and if a baby is waking for a feed you shouldn’t deprive them of that at such a young age.
Also, the 2 hour feeds would be cluster feeding. Which is SO normal and not a sign of low supply. Not all babies do it but it is so common and a way of upping supply and/or because they’re having a growth spurt.
Really hope Molly reads these comments and takes the advice with night feeds! Xx

You’re an amazing Mum, Molly! Thank you so much for sharing everything with us 💞
Become a mum is hard hard work!!! Every mum in the world deserves a medal!!! Your doing amazing!!! I did 6 weeks of breastfeeding and got a virus and was really poorly so I had to stop and I was still proud of myself!! My fiancé works 12 hour shifts 6 days a week so don’t get anytime to do to the gym which upsets me but it is what it is and this body created a human being I am in-bracing it 😁💙
Makes me so excited to have a baby!! All the horror stories you hear but you make it look real and show all the good stuff ❤
Molly is literally my favourite new TH-camr as a young first time mum I find your honesty so refreshing❤, Molly and Tommy make me crease🤣
You might not have stairs, but going up and down the stairs helps the baby's wind come out. Doing squats with her helps if you don't have stairs. It's the change of elevation that does it xx
I am so glad you’re feeling better in yourself❤ You’re a credit both to your beautiful baby girl and to Tommy and you should be so proud of yourself!🫶 I look forward to your videos so much and you’re just so refreshing to watch❤❤
She was possibly cluster feeding and babies wake up at night are possibly hungry. My 3rd baby is currently 10 months and wakes every 2/3 hours for a breasfeed. But well done on 6 weeks. Its amazing x
me (not a mom) enjoying you and tommy’s dream to become parents. i love this so much for y’all 🫶🏻💓✨🌈
hi molly, just to let you know, overheating isnt the only reason you shouldnt put a baby in a all in one or a coat. If you got in a car accident your baby would unfortunately come out of the seat, due to the straps not being tight to her body, it creates a gap which in impact would not protect her. It doesnt matter the distance of your journey, please always put her coat on when you have got out of the car.
Also, in regards to breastfeeding, baby constantly wanting to feed is called cluster feeding, it is perfectly normal, all breastfed babies do it. I know you thought your supply was low, but it is possible to create a larger supply, if you would still like to carry on your breastfeeding journey reach out to a specialist and ask for help, it doesnt matter that you haven’t fed in the last few weeks - you should still get your supply back. hope this helps x
sorry forgot to mention that your period wont stop your milk supply. if your supply is low you may be having a bit of difficulty for another reason, but it can be worked on with help from a specialist x

Soooo glad to see you back , Bambi is beautiful and at the moment looks like Tommy . I loved watching you with her , so much love there. Looking forward to your next blog . Take care x
You are doing amazing becoming a mum is crazy but please don’t deprive her of milk their stomachs are still so small at 10 weeks old they need regular feeding especially if they are waking up for it and she’ll probably get better quality sleep if she just gets some milk rather than starving her all night. My little girl always slept great but she had a night feed all the way up to 6-8 months and even some nights after that especially as she got more active she still got hungry and thirsty please don’t ignore her 😢
My baby is 4 months old & we still wake him around midnight to ‘dream feed’ him then he sleeps til 7/8am! We’ve done this for around two months and believe if we didn’t he would 100% wake up crying out of hunger himself! Makes me sad to see this societal pressure of your baby sleeping through the night, 12 hours etc and you expect them to NOT wake up/need you once! I’m a grown adult and even if I wake up etc! Completely normal for a tiny baby to wake up! 😢
@@bbyckhx 100% my little girl is 2 and now and then she will wake during the night if she needs something or is uncomfortable for whatever reason it’s unrealistic to expect a 10 week old baby to not need any fluid for that length of time but people are obsessed with babies sleeping 12 hours 🙄🙄 it’s dangerous and stupid xx
So happy your feeling back to your old self, you look so well and Bambi is beautiful ❤
I love seeing your videos/posts but I must say I’m actually nervous knowing that you’re only feeding your baby to suit your night time routine at this early stage. It’s critical you feed through the night regardless of how much sleep you’re getting or not getting. The baby’s development is paramount. I hope you get to speak with a professional about this and they direct you properly. Much love ❤
Would love to see more of “day in the life” with Bambi, routine, what you do for self care etc. ❤
Just so you know, no pramsuit should be on in the carseat not just because of the risk of overheating but because the straps aren’t at all effective at holding baby in the seat in the case of a crash. Not worth the risk. ❤
It's wonderful to see you, Tommy, and Bambi! You are a beautiful family!
It’s biologically normal for a baby to wake , it’s a protector against SIDS. Please don’t drop feeds this early the babies need to wake this young 🥺
Absolutley! Really sadly the pressure to make babies sleep through is societal and honestly just adds stress for mum and dad! It is so normal for babies to wake be it for comfort or hunger or just because they have immature circadian rhythm. All babies will sleep through when they are ready. 😊❤️You’re doing just great! Xx
Are all the TH-cam doctors in full force today?
@@morganwilliamson2915 TH-cam midwife actually 😂
@@victoriarose310 fair enough.. it’s also aimed at the rest of the comments, not everyone in these comments are nurses 😊
@Morgan williamson many of them have received their information from nurses or midwives though, if they are parents, or through research. Plenty of reliable NHS backed resources out there - la leche, etc.
Bambi’s little noises 🥹 so freaking adorable
