Hallo Emma my nam is Vera I have 9 months baby I need advice how to make the baby do not fell from the bed or which bed is ok for him,I try my best to protect him but is not work🥺
my tip is talk, talk through what you're doing when you're changing diapers, when you're feeding, when you're walking around. describe what you're doing, what room you're entering, what object you're picking up, etc. just constant communication, helps alot with their speech and socialization later on.
I'm a Gemini, all I do is talk😄😄😄 even to inanimate objects. I'm going to have sssso much fun talking to my baby once he's born. I already talk to him a lot lmao.
My oldest and youngest are 15 years apart. I feel like so much has changed and advanced, particularly the attitude toward parents struggling with their babies. It feels so much safer now to say I'm struggling with feeding her, fighting depression, feeling overwhelmed, am totally lost with sleep, etc. More and more people are willing to talk about the realities of parenting and dropping the performance of pretending we have it all together. 30 years ago I watched my mom go through postpartum depression after my brother was born and people would scold her for being ungrateful or selfish. I'm so grateful the stigma is disappearing more and that there's help like these videos. It is so good to know I'm not alone. Thank you 💕
Thank you so much for sharing! Do make sure you reach out to family and friends to help and talk to. There are also great services available now to help with feeding, sleep and depression so make sure you link in with those if needed. You are never alone ❤️
It's refreshing to see another mom like me. My daughter's 17 and I have a 7 week old son. It definitely feels like I'm doing it all over again. My son seems harder as he is extremely colicky and aware most of the night. I'm also struggling with depression (in therapy) and I agree it's so much different than it used to be. I'm so glad too.
8 day old! Is a champ at tummy time, he already lifted his head when he was born, and he is doing tummy time without fussing. It actually seem like he enjoys it❤
Im a single mom of a 3 months old girl....i talk to her alot even when she's still inside me......and now she can recognise my voice even in a crowd.....and i recently bought the gym mat....even though she doesnt like it first...i helped her grab the toys hanging and i love all your videos....it helped me alot.....even though im a doctor....its my first time baby and please keep updating videos....love you from india😊😊😊
My baby is 5weeks old now . But he started cooing at 3weeks old. I keep singing and talking to him. He love story telling you really know he’s interacting/communicating very well. And our everyday activities are, I let him watch black & white or show high contrast books for his Visual Development so at the age of 4weeks his eye movements is really great. 😊
❤My 5 week old gets upset doing tummy time on his play gym and the airplane hold is way more fun for him. I fly him around the house showing him plants and the mirror and he lifts his head very interested. It’s a good alternative technique.
Hi @Sarah Roberts so glad you have found this channel helpful. Hopefully the next 2 weeks goes quickly and for the safe arrival of your little one. Very exciting times!
Thank you for your videos. 11:00 I too used and still place a wash cloth on both sons tummies. We currently have a 4 y.o. & 2 month old. I think the washcloth on the belly also gives additional warmth and soothing. I also place one on his head and a third one draped over his hands since they seem to get cold being that they are not submerged in the warm bath water. I frequently pour warm water over the wash cloths to refresh them. I find it can be more gentle and can channel the water away from the face and keep him calm.
Im giving birth to our first baby in 3 months and this helped me get an idea of what to do. Thank you for simplifying all this. It can be a bit overwhelming with all the info out here. Thanks again!! ☀️☀️❤️
Hi! It can definitely be overwhelming but it sounds like you are going to be a great parent as you’re already getting prepared for life after the birth. I am sure you will be fantastic!
I love this Chanel.between being a new clueless Parent n my wife who has ppd n was crying a lot cuz she keeps thinking she was failing our boy. She found lots of comfort here. Knowing that she isn’t the only one who has no clue. Thank you sooooo much Emma ur awesome. Our baby is 4 months now n we were wounding if u can do a video to get them the hold stuff n touch their feet. We r doing your rolling tips n it makes it so easy to understand on what to do n my big is trying.
Hi Emma. Thank you for all the useful tips. I just have a concern, you mentioned to start the tummy time from the day we return from the hospital; that's when the umbilical cord is still attached and I'm concerned that might create discomfort. I'm still expecting so forgive my confusion on the topic. Could you clarify this point for me please?
She’s 6 weeks old, we started that novel I’ve been meaning to read all year and nearly finished. I usually just read it aloud when we sit down to nurse. I thought, why read a children’s book? Right now I’m the only one that that’s even looking at the pages. Haven’t made such quick progress in a book in years!
I cottoned on to this idea too... Quite the surprise to suddenly find time for reading as a newborns parent... But it works!!! Especially if you are shy of talking to someone who cannot understand you!!! I really struggled with that with my first baby... Til I realised that I can read my stuff to the baby & they will simply respond to the expression in your voice!
@@aileenelizabethtrip8269thanks alot for this comment. I think I'm quiet shy talking to someone that doesn't understand me, so I will do this. Maybe I will finally read all the books I have to read. 😂
My baby is 7 weeks old she smiles, laughs , and is starting to baby bable so much it's the so cute I talk to her I count and spell her name and and point out her body parts she seems to love it
Sorry, but is it only me who cannot find a gap to play with my 1 month old? When she wakes up, she gives me 1-2 seconds to start feeding and she would’ t let me go until she is done, and when she is done, she falls asleep (crazy crying in between the processes). I am surprised babies can actually sit quietly.. mine is moving so crazy
Mine acted like that,, and was eventually determined to be magnesium deficient. With guidance I added magnesium, and she got a lot more chill. My sympathies, it's so hard...
@ I hear you.. mine is 1,5 now and it didn’t get much better before she turned like 11 months. After 1 yo everything is developing even faster and they become more independent and interested in the world around. Good luck! It will get better eventually, even though I was not believing it myself :)
Nice, positive, realistic channel with Lots of facts presented on clear and fun way. Also the editing of the Video is perfect with Lots of diverse parents and babies which I find so refreshing.. My son is 7 weeks old and you encouriged me to sing a litlle more which I also thought is not so nice to hear but He loves it.. For my son the best toy for now are my hands .. We bought contrast book, play matt and other toys but He smiles the most to my Hands.. Thank you for this Videos, looking forward to see them All!
I'm so glad I found your channel!! My bubba is 11 weeks old but 2 weeks adjusted age as 9 weeks prem and have recently started doing tummy time, I do it with him for only a couple minutes but had no idea it was okay to do it multiple times a day! So I'm looking forward now to doing it more often as I love it and he loves it too, I've watched so many of your videos and they are so helpful! Thank you thank you !!
Thank you for all these great tips and tricks. I was doing most of them before viewing your videos but now, I got more organised and can’t wait for my baby to wake up so I can tummy time with her. Thanks again
A lot of helpful information on practical, fun activities to do with your bub. I really enjoyed chatting & singing to my babies. I agree a play mat is a must at this age👍🏻
Firat time Mother-to-be here. This video was VERY informative. I wonder most of the time how i will take care of that little soul that's souly dependant on me and watching videos like these help calm me down. Thank you for posting this ❤
For the tummy time, if you hold the baby on a sitting position, and they are able to hold they head most of the times, would that help make the muscle stronger as well? (baby is ~2 months)
I'm glad I found this I've been doing tummy time since she was 1 week by lying he on my chest and at 3weeks did the lap and football tummy time... I had no idea I was doing tummy time.. Now at a month and she turns her head while sleeping on her own
I made tummy time with my baby lying on me and I was reading her out of my book (nkt very child friendly with pictures and subjects in a fantasy world, but still I was talking 😊) Sometimes she would lift the head, but not always. It is our ritual after she woke up and we are done feeding. Depending on her interest and energy, she lifts her head and reacts or she put herself back to sleep 😁
Thank you so much for these videos. I'm a new mom and have a newborn who is almost 3 weeks old and have no idea what to do with her most of the time. She just started getting fussy at night, crying a lot and wanting to be fed constantly. Hopefully some of these activities will help. Thank you!
Hey Emma, thanks for your videos, they're really helpful and well produced! Expecting our first child in 2 weeks. Is there a particular baby gym you favour/recommend ? thanks alot
Hi Emma, I love your channel so very helpful. I am wondering 2 things. My boy is 3 months premature, his due date is coming up 8/8. I am wondering for night time feeds and change, should I be turning the light on to a normal level and then play with him if he is giving me cues or keep it dark and encourage him to sleep? He feeds every 2 hours at night but sleeps lots during the day and only feeds about 4_5 times in the day time. The other question is, am I at this age supposed to be waiting for him to open his eyes before I pick him up when he is stirring? When he stirs his eyes will be closed, lots of grunting and turning head, if I wait for his eyes to open he usually cries before the feed, compared to picking him up when he stirs waiting for him to wake up gently then feeding him.He is much more chilled this way but I am concerned that I will be teaching him bad habits. Thank you in advance
Hi Emma .... My baby girl is 1 now .. she don't sit without support. And head circumference is 41 at age of 1 year . Which is less you know.... But overall activities are good. One of the neurologist advices some test including MRI of brain ... I'm worried. She is active otherwise ... But due to sitting issue . And low foc . She will be okay after some time with physiotherapy or some treatment ?
Hey I saw that you also have a dog at home, i too have a 2 and a half yr old male labrador and he is a little excited one. Can you pls suggest on how and when to start the interaction of the dog with the baby.
Thank you so much for your videos and content! This is my second baby (4 weeks old) but I learned so much from your videos. I wish I had seen them when my first one was a newborn. So helpful!
I know nkthing about this but i think babies also like voice intonation with emotions and acting or narration even from the womb so performing arts are something interesting to play with
Hello, thanks for the video! I have a son who was born 5 weeks early, in June. So, by birth age, he is 3 months old today, but his adjusted age is 8 weeks old. Do the milestones apply differently to preemies? I'm assuming I should consider him developmentally a 2 month old when assessing milestones. Is that correct, or do ingo by his actual age of 3 months? Thanks in advance! ❤😊
Hi Emma, I am a multilinguistic and my husband too. I am worried which language do I speak with my new born as mostly in household with elder two kids we speak English and mother tounge. But my older boys seem to forgot mother tounge and they just speak English with each. I don't want this for my 3rd child. I want her to speak 3 languages, but it seems a big ask, don't know how to do it..
Just a random thing id like to share about my newborn(2 months), i watched the part in your video about holding a toy in front of the babies face and getting them to move their head, i turn on the youtube video of the Gummy Bear Song on my phone and place that in front of her face and move it around and she follows it with her head and absolutely loves it, she'll intently watch it and smile and giggle a bit
Not trying to be mean and I hope you take my comment the right way, I beg and urge you not to put a screen in your kids face anytime soon. Look up studies on what happens during screen time.
My boy is 11 days old, I worry that he thinks that the world is an out of tune musical because I sing nearly everything to him. His names Rowan and he loves a chorus I've made of Hey there Rowan, tell me what you're knowing, Hey there my little rocking Ro, Hey there Rowan, We know the waters flowing, So why don't you go and Row n row. It comes with hand gestures too 😅 He hates being changed but other videos of yours have helped improve that time, plenty of eye contact, I signal with my hands what I'm up to and keep talking to him, mentioning and touching his hands, cheeks, feet etc and play some bee gees, he seems to love them 🤷♂️
15-16 hours? Mine doesn't? My son was born 20/06/24, will only sleep for 5 minute Intervals 🤷♀️ eventually goes/ stays asleep around 7pm... what am I doing wrong
❤️❤️❤️ love the videos Emma, what a Godsend. I’ve heard horror stories of babies gripping things e.g piercings and causing pain but if only they knew you just bend baby’s wrist and the hand opens! …And you embedded this nifty tip in a development video. Curious to see what other hidden gems are in the other videos :)
My children are thirty-four and thirty-one but I put warm washcloths on their chests when bathing. I don't like to be cold and you know they don't either.
there were days where my 2 month year old baby was awake for hours and wouldn't sleep from the 4th week to the 7th week time. Now that she is in her 8th week she's sleeping more.
My baby doesn't reeeeally have that "happy to engage in activities" time... Only a few moments. She's 11 weeks old (was born 6 weeks earlier though). She smiles a lot when she's awake and enjoys me talking to her (thank goodness for that because I talk and sing all the time 😂) and doing faces... but she doesn't really like to look at a mirror or images or stay at the baby gym or anything else really. She just wants to eat, then cries or whines until she's up on my shoulder, while I walk up and down until she falls asleep. I don't think I should worry too much about it, but I'm definitely a bit jealous of those babies who enjoy and engage in all these 😅
Thank you for all the tips. I love how you call our babies "bub". Is that a common short term for babies in Australia? I find the word extremely cute. 🥰 Interesting side note: In Germany we call the "football hold" the "airplane hold". 😀
Hi @Amelie Bub must be just an Australian term for babies. 😂 Never really thought about it before as it is so common here. Also thanks for sharing that the football hold is known as the airplane hold in Germany. I found it so interesting when I hear what other countries are doing/recommending and calling things!
My mum is English and she'd call her babies some form of bub. Bub, bubby, bubbadee, bubba. 😂 Not sure where it comes from but I know in certain other cultures it's common as well.
@@headerahelixthat’s interesting. I call my first son bub or bubba. My grandmother was english and Swedish so perhaps I got it from her. Never thought on this before reading these comments.
So, I was in the hospital about a week after my baby was born, and so my parents and her dad were the ones mainly surrounding her. Will that confuse her or affect the notice of my voice? I don't know honestly.
You and your baby will bond normally anyways. Babies know who Mama is, relax and enjoy your baby. Hope you are doing well. She won’t be confused, babies need love no matter who gives it but your scent and speech will be special to her as she grows. Dads too. A week or two away when she was first born is really ok.
same! my baby should be here in 15weeks & i’m terrified of holding her. whenever someone wanted me to hold or carry a baby i declined, especially when they aren’t able to hold their head up yet. 😨

My oldest and youngest are 15 years apart.
I feel like so much has changed and advanced, particularly the attitude toward parents struggling with their babies.
It feels so much safer now to say I'm struggling with feeding her, fighting depression, feeling overwhelmed, am totally lost with sleep, etc. More and more people are willing to talk about the realities of parenting and dropping the performance of pretending we have it all together.
30 years ago I watched my mom go through postpartum depression after my brother was born and people would scold her for being ungrateful or selfish.
I'm so grateful the stigma is disappearing more and that there's help like these videos. It is so good to know I'm not alone.

I LOVE your videos so much! So informative and encouraging 🙌🏽🤍🤎
I know nkthing about this but i think babies also like voice intonation with emotions and acting or narration even from the womb so performing arts are something interesting to play with
Hello, thanks for the video! I have a son who was born 5 weeks early, in June. So, by birth age, he is 3 months old today, but his adjusted age is 8 weeks old. Do the milestones apply differently to preemies? I'm assuming I should consider him developmentally a 2 month old when assessing milestones. Is that correct, or do ingo by his actual age of 3 months? Thanks in advance! ❤😊
Thank you so much I love that rainmaker ooo I need a rattle!
Any time!
Hello thanks for this tips watching here again 🇯🇵
Hi Emma, I am a multilinguistic and my husband too. I am worried which language do I speak with my new born as mostly in household with elder two kids we speak English and mother tounge. But my older boys seem to forgot mother tounge and they just speak English with each. I don't want this for my 3rd child. I want her to speak 3 languages, but it seems a big ask, don't know how to do it..
Thanks for the tips!
No problem!
Thanks Emma for your tips
Just a random thing id like to share about my newborn(2 months), i watched the part in your video about holding a toy in front of the babies face and getting them to move their head, i turn on the youtube video of the Gummy Bear Song on my phone and place that in front of her face and move it around and she follows it with her head and absolutely loves it, she'll intently watch it and smile and giggle a bit
Not trying to be mean and I hope you take my comment the right way, I beg and urge you not to put a screen in your kids face anytime soon. Look up studies on what happens during screen time.
@nunya7682 it's not like I did it all the time, just every once in a while, but I do understand and appreciate your concern
Hi my baby is 9 to10 month old and she's not able to claw nor stand please what should I do to help her
Thanks you for all of the inspiration! I’m on maternaty leave with my son who is 6 weeks❤️
Does anyone have thoughts or suggestions about toy washing? I have this instinct to wash EVERYTHING!
Really good video, clearly explained, some great ideas ☺️
Thank you Emma your vidioes are helpful, lm learning a lot with my little boy.
It’s my absolute pleasure!
Thanks a lot. This was very helpful.
No worries at all!
My friend just had a and my mom and I got presents for the baby.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
What do you think of cradle boards. ?
My boy is 11 days old, I worry that he thinks that the world is an out of tune musical because I sing nearly everything to him.
His names Rowan and he loves a chorus I've made of
Hey there Rowan, tell me what you're knowing,
Hey there my little rocking Ro,
Hey there Rowan,
We know the waters flowing,
So why don't you go and Row n row.
It comes with hand gestures too 😅
He hates being changed but other videos of yours have helped improve that time, plenty of eye contact, I signal with my hands what I'm up to and keep talking to him, mentioning and touching his hands, cheeks, feet etc and play some bee gees, he seems to love them 🤷♂️
15-16 hours? Mine doesn't? My son was born 20/06/24, will only sleep for 5 minute Intervals 🤷♀️ eventually goes/ stays asleep around 7pm... what am I doing wrong
❤️❤️❤️ love the videos Emma, what a Godsend.
I’ve heard horror stories of babies gripping things e.g piercings and causing pain but if only they knew you just bend baby’s wrist and the hand opens!
…And you embedded this nifty tip in a development video. Curious to see what other hidden gems are in the other videos :)
Thanks so much! I hope you find the other videos just as helpful!
My children are thirty-four and thirty-one but I put warm washcloths on their chests when bathing.
I don't like to be cold and you know they don't either.
👍👍👍
Very helpful
My baby is 78 days old his weight is 5.2 kgs he just drink milk 3 ounces not much in 3 hours I don't know what to do is it enough for him ....
Helped a lot with our little one. Explained well.
Glad you found the information helpful. Thanks for watching
watching from🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Welcome!
there were days where my 2 month year old baby was awake for hours and wouldn't sleep from the 4th week to the 7th week time. Now that she is in her 8th week she's sleeping more.
Hi Emma,your videos are very helpful.thanks for sharing it😊
Thanks For Help Teps
Great, love from Portugal
Thank you for these much needed info! ❤
You are so welcome!
My baby doesn't reeeeally have that "happy to engage in activities" time... Only a few moments. She's 11 weeks old (was born 6 weeks earlier though). She smiles a lot when she's awake and enjoys me talking to her (thank goodness for that because I talk and sing all the time 😂) and doing faces... but she doesn't really like to look at a mirror or images or stay at the baby gym or anything else really. She just wants to eat, then cries or whines until she's up on my shoulder, while I walk up and down until she falls asleep. I don't think I should worry too much about it, but I'm definitely a bit jealous of those babies who enjoy and engage in all these 😅
Can you put baby for tummy time even before the umbilical cord is healed?
No
If your baby is holding the head up you can use the football hold she talks about without putting pressure on the umbilical cord.
At what time can we start tummy time for baby
She said as soon as you and the baby come home from the hospital
Thank you for including men in the pictures
Of course!
Love from İstanbul ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for all the tips. I love how you call our babies "bub". Is that a common short term for babies in Australia? I find the word extremely cute. 🥰
Interesting side note: In Germany we call the "football hold" the "airplane hold". 😀
Hi @Amelie Bub must be just an Australian term for babies. 😂 Never really thought about it before as it is so common here.
Also thanks for sharing that the football hold is known as the airplane hold in Germany. I found it so interesting when I hear what other countries are doing/recommending and calling things!
My mum is English and she'd call her babies some form of bub. Bub, bubby, bubbadee, bubba. 😂 Not sure where it comes from but I know in certain other cultures it's common as well.
@@headerahelixthat’s interesting. I call my first son bub or bubba. My grandmother was english and Swedish so perhaps I got it from her. Never thought on this before reading these comments.
So, I was in the hospital about a week after my baby was born, and so my parents and her dad were the ones mainly surrounding her. Will that confuse her or affect the notice of my voice? I don't know honestly.
You and your baby will bond normally anyways. Babies know who Mama is, relax and enjoy your baby. Hope you are doing well. She won’t be confused, babies need love no matter who gives it but your scent and speech will be special to her as she grows. Dads too. A week or two away when she was first born is really ok.
Thankyou Mam 🙏🙏❤️🇮🇳
I'm sure it's going to be fine once I get used to holding my baby (currently 17 weeks away!)
But right now the idea of holding him feels so scary! 😐
I think feeling nervous is totally normal! You’ll be great once he arrives though. Tired, but great 🙂
@@EmmaHubbard haha thank you and yes the most common advice we've had from everyone so far is sleep while you can 🤣
same! my baby should be here in 15weeks & i’m terrified of holding her. whenever someone wanted me to hold or carry a baby i declined, especially when they aren’t able to hold their head up yet. 😨
Great vids.
Thanks!
My little angel is 1,5 months old but her belly button is still wet, we have tried with silver nitrate twice, but it didn’t helped(((
