TIP TO HELP YOU OUT: this was a life saver for me. You can put your pump parts in the fridge so that you don’t have to wash them every single time. I definitely would only do that like once a day so that would be super helpful for you in the night. My lactation counselor told me this and just like you’re saving her milk in the fridge, storing the pump parts in the fridge prevents any bacteria from growing on them and keeps them good as well 😊
That's so helpful! I was watching all the pump cleanings and I could NEVER 😢 I take my hat off to people who do that every single day over and over again
The amount of positivity and energy you still have is crazy! Postpartum was terrible and emotional for me with my first. Praying it's better with my second due any day.
I’m a suckerrr for day in the lives or a vlog of the dayyyy. Also when Taylor goes back to school I would love to see what it’s like for soph to be with her by herself! You guys are doing so good and watching your videos brings me joy!!!!
I found that with diaper rash it helps to make sure you completely dry the bottom off before you put the diaper back on even if you use baby wipes. Also, you can buy wash cloths that you can use warm water and gently kind of pat so you don’t rub too hard on their soft skin. Bathe the baby every day until rash is gone then every other day. Babies sweat in the sleepers even when they can’t crawl yet. Then you can use a barrier cream like Desitin. Hope that helps.
You guys are precious!! Going to be the best parents ❤❤❤ Soph you look so great! Motherhood comes very naturally to you! 🤗 She really loves her books 🥹💝
@@jasminemarie4442most of these young people don't realize that's what happening. People this age grew up in the generation of social media and mainstream media/ Hollywood, they don't view it the same as others and don't realize the true evils of this world. They don't realize there's monsters out there and millions of them that love and profit off of videos/images of children posted online. I truly think some are just naive.
I love day in the life, day and night routines, how you and taylor talk about responsibilities and splitting chores with eachother, and feeling comfortable in your postpartum body. hope you have a great day
If you put your pump parts in a ziplock bag and into the fridge you only need to wash them once a day. So overnight you can keep them in a ziplock in the fridge between pumping sessions. This tip SAVED my sanity and so much time!!
Do you want to be friends with me on tex I'm a girl I'm 38 old I'm in a wheel chair my body hurts me every day so if I ask you too play with your body on tex
Love y’all’s attitude! Best parents ever. She had a taste of the fast flowing and minimal energy bottle so she is now refusing any from you, but slowly you can reincorporate you feeding her instead, probably through slower feeding bottles so she gets used to having to work a bit and won’t feel the difference when you try it with you afterwards!
You guys are doing an amazing job with your beautiful baby girl.. ❤ just the way Taylor looks at her shows how much he loves her.. She has been blessed with two amazing parents 💗
You are both amazing. I do want to give a warning. Doctors told me the same thing. She wasn't big enough and my wife had to pump. She doesn't like to talk about it, but her supply dropped very quickly not doing feedings from the breast every time. She made it to 6 months and was incredibly proud, but also extremely sad. She still is a year later. Every women's body is different. I am not here to dictate yours. I just want to warm every mom to watch her supply, so she isn't done breastfeeding before she is ready to stop. It can cause really bad post partum depression. Baby will ALWAYS pick bottle because it flows faster and easier. The longer she prefers that, the less likely she will breastfeed again. God be with you all ❤ Beautiful family 😊
I agree! Its also very normal for them to drop birth weight, I would just feed 3 hourly from the breast offering both sides, starting on the opposite each feed during the day. Pumping is so much extra work.
I just love your channel.❣️❣️🩷 you both are so positive and upbeat and sweet to your baby and each other and it’s obvious that you love each other very much and it just reminds me of the first five years of my marriage and how we were totally into each other and our new son, when he came along in our fourth and a half years of marriage .. great memories and you guys are definitely making wonderful memories. I appreciated the time you took to make this video because as is so apparent, your day and night are full even if she is a wonderfully good baby. There’s just things you have to do. I remember being shocked me how much dirty laundry I would have from a tiny baby that first month!! I love your wonderful sense of humor, and how you play off of each other’s humor and comments… I love your story time with your baby girl and that you BOTH read to her. When my first son was born, Johnson and Johnson had wonderful books and toys that were scientifically designed after thousands and thousands of test on babies. One of the things I remembered and have gifted many times to new parents, is that newborn babies up to a certain Age of a few months only see black and white. We purchased there 12 inch bumper pads that you could Velcro or tie into your crib so that when they were laying in their bed they could look around and see those black-and-white photos. I believe red is the next color that they see if my memory serves me correctly but they also had this rattle that was not really a rattle that made noise but each end was yellow and soft rubbery for the baby to chew on and the center part was clear and it had a oil type Merc on the inside of the clear to, and there was a red round bead or ball, no bigger than a half an inch, at the most, and it would roll very slowly when you tipped the rattle and a slight angle down your upwards. It taught the baby to track that red ball. I had one of those for all three of my children and they loved it. I don’t know if you can still get those but Johnson Johnson had, wonderful, educational and interactive toys when my children were born. I can tell that you guys have done your research in getting the black-and-white book but I love your humor Taylor when you say that she can say all of the words of the animals in the book already. We do think our child is the smartest of everyone else’s, She sure is a pretty girl❣️❣️😊🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷 Last, I almost hesitate to say anything on this subject at all, because there are so many emotions and hormones involved with new mommies (and daddy’s, somewhat too)…. but I read the comment of a very first person regarding breast-feeding and pumping, etc. and she cautioned you to be careful about it because she had been told to pump and then the next thing you know she had no milk for her baby. That is not unusual and I’ve heard of that many women and I experienced that with my second child when they were complications in the delivery and I ended up having to have a blood transfusion due to major air on the part of the doctor/OB/GYN. Anyway, I’m very much wanted to nurse him just like I did my first child. and I was very unhappy that I did not even get a hold of him until day three and by then he’d already been given bottle not to nurse… He would suck on a little bit and fall asleep and I’d have to keep waking him up and I ended up getting extremely engorged and of course things were different back then and they kept me in the hospital for 10 to 12 days because I ended up having a C-section and the complications. But they would not let me pump , so that he could have my milk in the bottle. They said the machines were kept for neonatal parents only, and I felt rather outraged by the lack of care and concern for my child when we were victims to what the doctor had done. Anyway, getting past all of that, I became so engorged that I ended up with mastitis, and I had to take antibiotics to dry my milk up and I cried and he cried and it was terrible. 😂!!!!! Now, just forget all of that and this is what I want you to know that’s important. Listen to the little red flag warnings that go off in your mind when a doctor tells you something and it doesn’t seem right for you or your baby; doctors are human they make mistakes and they’re giving you their best educated information but it doesn’t mean it’s going to fit the plan that you have for your child. Don’t be afraid to get a second opinion or a different doctor if there becomes enough red flags that you and your pediatrician are not in agreement on major issues. Also, you’ll get a lot of advice from a lot of people, will intended women. I don’t know why they feel they have to tell you their horror stories and stuff or make you feel like you have to compete, but Jesus didn’t ask us to compete with one another. He just asked us to be loving and kind of one another and when someone starts making you feel like their babies always better or they always know more or they make you just feel bad in general. You have to set boundaries because this is the most important time for you and your husband and that’s what I would rather say to you. Trust your gut instinct and you guys are doing a wonderful job. I can tell already and tell her you love her 10 times a day or more and say her name so she learns it quickly and always be gentle when you have to talk to her about something that she may have done wrong as she gets older. God bless you both and I will be praying for this time that you don’t feel too exhausted from lack of sleep because it goes fast and next thing you know she’s going to prom and graduating from high school and you’re thinking what I wouldn’t give to hold that tiny little girl in my arms again even if she was fussing❣️❣️ it’s a real pleasure to watch your videos and get to know the two of you/oops, the three of you😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey, y’all! Just wanted to offer up a little tip about the diaper rash situation. My daughter is just under 3 months old and our pediatrician recommended using baby aquaphor. We’ve been putting it on her booty after every diaper change since she was born. It helps create a protective barrier between her skin and the diaper contents. But she’s never had diaper rash. She is even drinking a hypoallergenic formula, which makes her poops more acidic, so she’s more prone to diaper rash. The stuff works great! Wishing you guys the best ❤️
I just found out I have the same heart condition as you soph! I’m so glad we have been watching you guys this whole time and no what to expect ❤ Thank you for sharing your personal story 🙏
Do you want to be friends with me on tex I'm a girl I'm 38 old I'm in a wheel chair my body hurts me every day so if I ask you too play with your body on tex I'm I like when you have no clothes on your body so I can tell you what to do to your body on tex
Awww🥺she reminds me of my daughter Mikayla. She was my girl in between my 2 COLICKY AS HECK boys, she was chill, only fussed when she needed changing or fed. Now she’s 19 and in college! The time goes by so SO FAST! Enjoy that little bundle of love n joy. Kids are truly a gift and a blessing ❤
Keep pumps in the fridge during the day inbetween pumping sessions and clean the pumps once at the end of each day! Keeping them in the fridge will keep any bacteria from growing(:
TIP FOR FEEDING! Look up paced bottle feeding on youtube and use that when bottle feeding. It’s a “slower” flow which mimics the flow of milk when breastfeeding. Most babies prefer fast flow because it’s easier which could be why she’s not wanting to nurse as much. Offer the breast first before every feeding to help that transition back 🥰 Thanks for sharing part of your life with us ❤
Loved this video ❤ I am 25 weeks pregnant and would love to see a What Newborn Products Have & Haven’t Worked For Us So Far video! Like which products are worth the hype. Love you guys
For girls diaper rash I swear by coconut oil and oatmeal baths! It’s clears it up so fast! Or for any rashes on the bottom or anywhere on the skin those two are life savers! It’s a must for little girls!
Video ideas 💖 Soph sit down video & talk about - post partum - what I actually used in my hospital bag - what it’s like being a mama - what you’re looking forward too in the future
I just finished the video , you guys are doing amazing and you can just see the love !!!! Another breastfeeding tip if at least every feeding you should do breast first for a timed time if you would like and then maybe giver her 1 or 2 ounces in a bottle.. because the bottle is different then your actual breast. The only reason im saying this is if you want to continue breastfeeding you have to keep it apart of her feeding schedule and offer the breast first . I know they said she lost weight but i promise you will know when she lost to much weight, its extremely normal in the beginning. Look how much your pump. You can feel in your breast if she got milk . And i know she may scream her head off when bringing the breast back but its normal..first pray and set the tone . Get relaxed and trust yourself . Its hard work but so worth it ..the memories i have and the time spent with my sons i will forever cherish ..dont be discouraged..and if you can talk to a lactation consultant or a mid wife that would be amazing. Theres tons of groups on fb and those woman will support you and guide you every step of the way ..but please offer breast each day ..because the bottle is way faster and different and she will get use to it ..but that doesnt mean you cant keep trying ❤❤❤❤
I agree with you 100%! Doctors and whatnot don’t get this. On demand is important. I’m 36 and my oldest will be 7 and it’s always been on demand. Our bodies know what our children need. I have 3 children. Who never took a bottle, I’ve tandem fed my oldest and middle then my middle now with my baby…
@Jaxk06 same here. They always scare Mom's and say oh your baby is drops some pounds ...ITS NORMAL..they scared her into bottle feeding to measure ..LOOK HOW MUCH MILK SHE PUMPED OUT . SHE DEFINITELY HAS MILK. and I'm sure the baby is giving her a hard time now on the breast but if she pushes past it the baby will latch again ..the bottle is fast and available...I pray to God Sophia breastfeeds again exclusively and gets to have that experience because I know she wants it . And I pray she meets someone with the knowledge. It's her first baby and all she wants to do is do right by her..but they scared her off BF and it's not fair ..
You guys are such a beautiful family. Mary Mahryn is so gorgeous. Other videos I’d like to see, if you can, are morning and night routine videos or going out with a baby. Love you guys so much 💕
you are so incredibly blessed to have the chance to take a picture of 5 generations! Not many people get to take a picture like that :) Would love to see what you eat in a day with a new born!
You don’t have to wash your pump parts after every feed! You can put them in refrigerator and wash them every few pumps! I didn’t learn this for a long time but it’s so nice to not wash them every time
You guys are such good parents! The way you guys treat and talk to her is so sweet! I loved the video. I was so happy when baby kicked the piano!!❤ if you have the energy, (NO pressure), I would love to see the nighttime routine! Also, maybe 1 a video where only mommy does nighttime routine and then only daddy a different time? Idk, just a thought. Love y’all!❤
A tip I learned for baby #2 with the pumps. If you know you’re going to pump again in a few hours you can put the pump parts in the fridge and it’ll keep the left over milk safe for consumption. A bit cold to use so I’d take it out like 20 mins before using or warm it up a bit with your arms or towel.
Video ideas: whose more likely to ( new parents edition), cooking fav meals, family get togethers, holiday home decorations tour, 10 things you may not know about me ( both of you each making a video). By the way, you both are such loving sweet wonderful parents. You both are doing an amazing job.
Abby and Matt just did questions girls are afraid to ask guys on their podcast it would be cool if you did that but also with postpartum questions. I love you guys❤
TIP: NIPPLE SHIELDS!! I ended up using a nipple shield to get my son to latch and then we weaned him off of it! It was so nice because it’s like a bottle tip and they can find it easily. The transition of nipple shield to nipple can take awhile, it did for us, but it was so rewarding when he would latch on every now and then without it!
The best concoction I had for diaper rash/yeast with both my babies is an equal mixture of Boudreaux Butt paste original/vagisil in a small container to store and then sprinkle on top of area with corn starch-life saver and heals overnight! She’s absolutely precious and I’m so happy for y’all!
Sally Woods Lactation (in Augusta) can help with her eating from you again! I had a friends who’s baby was in the NICU for 2 months and only drank from the bottle and Sally helped her to get him to feed from her again!
I’d love to see vlogs with the baby also BIBLE STUDIES PLEASE WITH YOU AND TAYLOR❤️🙏🏻 god bless yall I love you guys so much Mary Mahryn is so perfect!!!❤️
A few helpful tips! -btw you're amazing and doing so stinkin wonderful! I have the willow go as well, and having backup parts is life changing! A little less time in the sink washing :) Also, as you get farther along postpartum, you'll wanna also have a stationary wall pump, like a spectra, or medela, whatever it is, those handsfree portable pumps aren't good for exclusive pumping. You'll wanna use one of those wall pumps at least 1 or 2x a day in conjunction with the handsfree! Just so you dont lose milk supply as time goes on! And with the willow go, they have a pump bra in their brand, and the kindred bravely bras are wonderful and supportive to hold those willows in place perfectly :) also, just to help with supply staying strong, pumping Everytime she feeds, to mimick her nursing will help your body to know what it needs! If you're exclusively pumping, you'll likely need more than 4 pumps a day this early on. I hope this was helpful, Mommy's need all the love, support and knowledge, especially with breastfeeding 🥰-- all things i wish i knew right off the bat, vs several months into my journey! So happy for you and taylor, and you guys are such great parents! ❤️❤️❤️
You’ll should do a Sunday day in the life or like a grwm for church type thing also I have to say little mrs Mary Mahryn is the cuties little thing ever love you’ll
Im on Week 11 and this video is so helpful. Parenting past 1 year old doesn’t scare me but having an infant I feel clueless so thank you for this routine!
All the ladies are beautiful. Both sides family beautiful. Baby is adorable. I love her Christmas outfits. Vlog, was great. What ever y’all are able to do is great. Don’t over stress y’all’s selves. God Bless In my prayers daily.
You should get one of those small facial care fridges for your nightstand and put your pump parts in it at night so you don't have to get up and wash them. Also, if your bottles will fit in there, you can put your milk in there!
I’m newly expecting so loving all the baby content! This is my second, but my first was almost 13 years ago. How wild! 😝 But I’d also like to know what makeup products you use lol
Like others have said, put those pump parts in a Ziploc bag and stick them in the fridge! Washing them every time is ALOT!!!!! Other video ideas could be 1. Some names that you guys loved, but didn’t end up using. 2. What you actually used from your hospital bag?
I love you guys and your videos! One video idea that I know I’ve found super helpful are the “thing we actually use as first time parents vs stuff that we bought/ were gifted but don’t use”. Lol that’s way too long of a title but that would be like the gist of it
I love seeing you both reading to her. My husband and I started reading to our daughter as a newborn. I heard you could be reading a newspaper to your newborn it does not matter just continue reading to your newborn ❤
My second born wasn’t gaining the weight he should’ve been from just breastfeeding, I added more protein and more dairy to my diet and he started gaining weight I never did a bottle with him not even once, we made it 16 months nursing and he turned into a little chunker! I learned to not always take the doctors advice. Y’all are doing great! ❤
Can you do a video about what you used in your hospital bag/what you didn’t use or things you wish you brought that you didn’t or things that weren’t necessary (not needed). I just see so many video about what people take to the hospital but no one ever does a after the hospital what really ends up being useful or not.
I think a good video idea would be to try parent/baby hacks from the internet to see if they are true. Just a thought! I love your guys videos and god bless you both and the baby. She is an angel❤
TIP TO HELP YOU OUT: this was a life saver for me. You can put your pump parts in the fridge so that you don’t have to wash them every single time.

My lactation counselor told me this and just like you’re saving her milk in the fridge, storing the pump parts in the fridge prevents any bacteria from growing on them and keeps them good as well 😊
I did this same thing 30 years ago! I also put her bottles in the fridge in the night so I didn't have to wash them in the middle of the night
That's so helpful! I was watching all the pump cleanings and I could NEVER 😢 I take my hat off to people who do that every single day over and over again
The whole time I was watching, I thought to also tell her this. It is such a life saver
I was about to comment this same thing!
I was going to ask her if she was freezing any of it
The amount of positivity and energy you still have is crazy! Postpartum was terrible and emotional for me with my first. Praying it's better with my second due any day.
I’m a suckerrr for day in the lives or a vlog of the dayyyy. Also when Taylor goes back to school I would love to see what it’s like for soph to be with her by herself! You guys are doing so good and watching your videos brings me joy!!!!
How awesome to have 5 generations of strong beautiful women together! ❤ love your little fam 🥰 God Bless!

Awww🥺she reminds me of my daughter Mikayla. She was my girl in between my 2 COLICKY AS HECK boys, she was chill, only fussed when she needed changing or fed. Now she’s 19 and in college! The time goes by so SO FAST! Enjoy that little bundle of love n joy. Kids are truly a gift and a blessing ❤
Keep pumps in the fridge during the day inbetween pumping sessions and clean the pumps once at the end of each day! Keeping them in the fridge will keep any bacteria from growing(:
TIP FOR FEEDING! Look up paced bottle feeding on youtube and use that when bottle feeding. It’s a “slower” flow which mimics the flow of milk when breastfeeding.
Most babies prefer fast flow because it’s easier which could be why she’s not wanting to nurse as much. Offer the breast first before every feeding to help that transition back 🥰
Thanks for sharing part of your life with us ❤
Yep yep yep. This. It’s about not having to work for milk anymore. So important.
Loved this video ❤ I am 25 weeks pregnant and would love to see a What Newborn Products Have & Haven’t Worked For Us So Far video! Like which products are worth the hype. Love you guys
Such a precious video! I’m 16 weeks along right now so I love seeing baby content to help learn and prepare for newborn life!
Please keep posting all the baby videos 🤩 Currently 15 weeks pregnant and love watching your day in the life’s!!
I’ve never watched your videos before and now I’m watching this one. This is so cute. I love them. I need a watch more.❤
Such amazing cute moments, great job both of you ❤
Y’all are already such great parents!!!
For girls diaper rash I swear by coconut oil and oatmeal baths! It’s clears it up so fast! Or for any rashes on the bottom or anywhere on the skin those two are life savers! It’s a must for little girls!
Video ideas 💖
Soph sit down video & talk about
- post partum
- what I actually used in my hospital bag
- what it’s like being a mama
- what you’re looking forward too in the future
Ya’All make parenting look easy … you guys are great ❤❤ I knew you’d make wonderful parents. Very blessed with lil MM 💖🌸💖🌸
I love how she was looking at the book when soph was reading
I just finished the video , you guys are doing amazing and you can just see the love !!!! Another breastfeeding tip if at least every feeding you should do breast first for a timed time if you would like and then maybe giver her 1 or 2 ounces in a bottle.. because the bottle is different then your actual breast. The only reason im saying this is if you want to continue breastfeeding you have to keep it apart of her feeding schedule and offer the breast first . I know they said she lost weight but i promise you will know when she lost to much weight, its extremely normal in the beginning. Look how much your pump. You can feel in your breast if she got milk . And i know she may scream her head off when bringing the breast back but its normal..first pray and set the tone . Get relaxed and trust yourself . Its hard work but so worth it ..the memories i have and the time spent with my sons i will forever cherish ..dont be discouraged..and if you can talk to a lactation consultant or a mid wife that would be amazing. Theres tons of groups on fb and those woman will support you and guide you every step of the way ..but please offer breast each day ..because the bottle is way faster and different and she will get use to it ..but that doesnt mean you cant keep trying ❤❤❤❤
I agree with you 100%! Doctors and whatnot don’t get this. On demand is important. I’m 36 and my oldest will be 7 and it’s always been on demand. Our bodies know what our children need. I have 3 children. Who never took a bottle, I’ve tandem fed my oldest and middle then my middle now with my baby…
@Jaxk06 same here. They always scare Mom's and say oh your baby is drops some pounds ...ITS NORMAL..they scared her into bottle feeding to measure ..LOOK HOW MUCH MILK SHE PUMPED OUT . SHE DEFINITELY HAS MILK. and I'm sure the baby is giving her a hard time now on the breast but if she pushes past it the baby will latch again ..the bottle is fast and available...I pray to God Sophia breastfeeds again exclusively and gets to have that experience because I know she wants it . And I pray she meets someone with the knowledge. It's her first baby and all she wants to do is do right by her..but they scared her off BF and it's not fair ..
You guys are the best parents to her❤️ love you guys🥰
Love to see y’all as parents. Congratulations. Parenthood is such a blessing!
You guys are such a beautiful family. Mary Mahryn is so gorgeous. Other videos I’d like to see, if you can, are morning and night routine videos or going out with a baby. Love you guys so much 💕
One video that I would LOVE to see is like names that y’all loved and considered. Just more name videos❤ love y’all and congrats!!!
you are so incredibly blessed to have the chance to take a picture of 5 generations! Not many people get to take a picture like that :) Would love to see what you eat in a day with a new born!
You two are such a joy to watch! Baby girl is so precious, and Soph - you and your mom are twins!
You can put the pump parts in the fridge so you don’t have to wash it every time! I would do that every other pump
I want you and Taylor to switch lives for the day
You guys are such good parents!!
I love your guys Chanel! You are amazing parents! ❤️
So cute!! Curious how Taylor is doing finals with a newborn!
I love you all so much!! You guys are amazing parents!!
I LOVE the day in the lives! I'd love more info on all the baby products you use with links!
Y’all are the perfect parents!!Little MM is so lucky!!
You don’t have to wash your pump parts after every feed! You can put them in refrigerator and wash them every few pumps! I didn’t learn this for a long time but it’s so nice to not wash them every time
You guys are such good parents! The way you guys treat and talk to her is so sweet! I loved the video. I was so happy when baby kicked the piano!!❤ if you have the energy, (NO pressure), I would love to see the nighttime routine! Also, maybe 1 a video where only mommy does nighttime routine and then only daddy a different time? Idk, just a thought. Love y’all!❤
A tip I learned for baby #2 with the pumps. If you know you’re going to pump again in a few hours you can put the pump parts in the fridge and it’ll keep the left over milk safe for consumption. A bit cold to use so I’d take it out like 20 mins before using or warm it up a bit with your arms or towel.
Yes we love ❤️ seeing any content & videos from you're sweet little family 😊❤& such sweet people love you guys keep up the good work
Video ideas: whose more likely to ( new parents edition), cooking fav meals, family get togethers, holiday home decorations tour, 10 things you may not know about me ( both of you each making a video). By the way, you both are such loving sweet wonderful parents. You both are doing an amazing job.
Love y’all’s positivity. ❤ God bless you and y’all’s little one.
I love seeing favorite baby product videos or things you thought you’d use but don’t and visa versa.
Abby and Matt just did questions girls are afraid to ask guys on their podcast it would be cool if you did that but also with postpartum questions. I love you guys❤
would love a night time routine!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ love your beautiful family. you guys make my day so whenever I see a video posted!!
TIP: NIPPLE SHIELDS!!
I ended up using a nipple shield to get my son to latch and then we weaned him off of it!
It was so nice because it’s like a bottle tip and they can find it easily. The transition of nipple shield to nipple can take awhile, it did for us, but it was so rewarding when he would latch on every now and then without it!
Have you had the pediatrician check for tongue tie. Sometimes that keeps them from latching good.
The best concoction I had for diaper rash/yeast with both my babies is an equal mixture of Boudreaux Butt paste original/vagisil in a small container to store and then sprinkle on top of area with corn starch-life saver and heals overnight! She’s absolutely precious and I’m so happy for y’all!
Sally Woods Lactation (in Augusta) can help with her eating from you again! I had a friends who’s baby was in the NICU for 2 months and only drank from the bottle and Sally helped her to get him to feed from her again!
I’d love to see vlogs with the baby also BIBLE STUDIES PLEASE WITH YOU AND TAYLOR❤️🙏🏻 god bless yall I love you guys so much Mary Mahryn is so perfect!!!❤️
YESSS THISSS
A few helpful tips! -btw you're amazing and doing so stinkin wonderful! I have the willow go as well, and having backup parts is life changing! A little less time in the sink washing :) Also, as you get farther along postpartum, you'll wanna also have a stationary wall pump, like a spectra, or medela, whatever it is, those handsfree portable pumps aren't good for exclusive pumping. You'll wanna use one of those wall pumps at least 1 or 2x a day in conjunction with the handsfree! Just so you dont lose milk supply as time goes on! And with the willow go, they have a pump bra in their brand, and the kindred bravely bras are wonderful and supportive to hold those willows in place perfectly :) also, just to help with supply staying strong, pumping Everytime she feeds, to mimick her nursing will help your body to know what it needs! If you're exclusively pumping, you'll likely need more than 4 pumps a day this early on. I hope this was helpful, Mommy's need all the love, support and knowledge, especially with breastfeeding 🥰-- all things i wish i knew right off the bat, vs several months into my journey! So happy for you and taylor, and you guys are such great parents! ❤️❤️❤️
You’ll should do a Sunday day in the life or like a grwm for church type thing also I have to say little mrs Mary Mahryn is the cuties little thing ever love you’ll
Im on Week 11 and this video is so helpful. Parenting past 1 year old doesn’t scare me but having an infant I feel clueless so thank you for this routine!
Loved this ditl!! Would love to see more. Thanks for sharing and God bless your family!
All the ladies are beautiful. Both sides family beautiful. Baby is adorable. I love her Christmas outfits. Vlog, was great. What ever y’all are able to do is great. Don’t over stress y’all’s selves. God Bless In my prayers daily.
❤❤Love y'all! God is good! Keep us updated on everything and Soph's surgery! So cute. Night time routine and day in life again please! ❤❤
You should get one of those small facial care fridges for your nightstand and put your pump parts in it at night so you don't have to get up and wash them. Also, if your bottles will fit in there, you can put your milk in there!
I love seeing u all as a family & these videos, but I do miss u playing tricks on each other & ur little funny skits!! Baby is gorgeous BTW❤
She is so adorable 🥰
God bless your little family ❤❤
I love seeing a day in a life you guys are an amazing family ❤
Both of my girls happen to love your channel and there names are Sophie and Taylor ❤️ this is amazing
Yous are amazing parents, love watching you vlops,
Put your pumps in the fridge in between feeding!!! The milk won’t go bad and you can wash once at the end of the day
Aww how cute! My son is 5 generations on both sides, it’s truly a blessing
Yesss do a leading up to night routine but whatever is most easy love you guys💖 congratulations on your beautiful baby girl💖
A video on your fav products as a mom would be great! Pumps etc

Like others have said, put those pump parts in a Ziploc bag and stick them in the fridge! Washing them every time is ALOT!!!!!
Other video ideas could be 1. Some names that you guys loved, but didn’t end up using.
2. What you actually used from your hospital bag?
I'm a NEW Subscriber!
I LOVE your videos!
She is so cute and you guys are so good as parents
I love you guys and your videos! One video idea that I know I’ve found super helpful are the “thing we actually use as first time parents vs stuff that we bought/ were gifted but don’t use”. Lol that’s way too long of a title but that would be like the gist of it
Just had my little man on December 10th ❤❤ its hard doing it alone! But i wouldnt change it for the world.!
Also Sophs hair is so perfect!
I love seeing you both reading to her. My husband and I started reading to our daughter as a newborn. I heard you could be reading a newspaper to your newborn it does not matter just continue reading to your newborn ❤
i’d love to see a a video of how you study the bible and tips of how you center your relationship around the Lord!!
my baby will be born any day now, this video is so helpful! you guys are doing such an amazing job!! i can’t wait for my baby boy to be here 🥹
My two older girls had the privilege of meeting their great, great grandma too! Your family is adorable!
I love that u have five generations all together!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love day in the life videos of you guys!!!
My second born wasn’t gaining the weight he should’ve been from just breastfeeding, I added more protein and more dairy to my diet and he started gaining weight I never did a bottle with him not even once, we made it 16 months nursing and he turned into a little chunker! I learned to not always take the doctors advice. Y’all are doing great! ❤
Can you do a video about what you used in your hospital bag/what you didn’t use or things you wish you brought that you didn’t or things that weren’t necessary (not needed). I just see so many video about what people take to the hospital but no one ever does a after the hospital what really ends up being useful or not.
Yall are so blessed to have a village. ❤️
I think a good video idea would be to try parent/baby hacks from the internet to see if they are true. Just a thought! I love your guys videos and god bless you both and the baby. She is an angel❤
Y'all should film vlogmas first day should be y'all Christmas shopping for that sweet mary marhyn Watts ❤😊🎉
Hey Soph,
Can you film your most favorite products for the baby?💛
Like swaddles, necessary items, that you very much like to use.
Thanks ! ❣️
You all are amazing parents
