Thank you for opening up and being so vulnerable about your feeding journey. People may criticize you, but you are also helping so many of us that are in the same boat. I am 6 weeks PP and barely keeping up with what my baby needs and have been beating myself up about throwing in the towel with pumping. It’s nice to know I’m not alone!
Oh gosh do not beat yourself up re feeding - you’re 100% right a fed baby is the best baby.. I had to give up after 3months and felt like such a failure but my little boy absolutely thrived after and so did I, I could focus on other things with him. You’re doing an amazing job xx
Thank you for sharing and being so transparent🤍 I’m 32 weeks with a baby boy and it’s so nice watching others in the same stage of life. Talking about labour/delivery in such a calm way gave me so much peace🩵
Thank you for your openness in motherhood. The guilt is so hard, and it’s like any comment that someone might have towards you, you’ve probably already said worse to yourself…unfortunately. As a toddler mom now, rest assured that your confidence does build as stresses come and go. Things change and worries change but nothing is better than growing with your baby. I wish so much I could give you a hug, I was a ballerina at the time that I had my son and now transformed as a mom and no longer a dancer, accepting your body is SO hard. One day at a time, nothing is truer than the love we have for our babies and that makes it worth it🩷
Watching you as a mom is so amazing! My motherhood journey with my first was quite similar. So many new things and emotions, but so much pride and joy in that season of life! Your doing so great🤍
Rachel, I started following you when I was pregnant. My baby girl is 2 weeks younger than your Maverick. I just have to say thank you for sharing your journey 🥺 I have had a crazy similar pregnancy and postpartum experience and you articulate many feelings that I haven’t been able to. Your videos have been my comfort watch and you have found a subscriber for life ❤
Breastfeeding/pumping is thee hardest thing I have ever done. I wish I knew/felt like it was okay to supplement or just go to formula with my first baby. It’s so nice to be reassured that it is okay to do formula.
Watching this video, 7 months postpartum and currently pumping. Feeding my baby is the HARDEST part about being a mom. I watched a ton of videos while pregnant and I felt like no one talked about how hard it is. It’s still hard for me and we are starting real food now. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your struggles. Sending hugs ❤
Gave a birth around the time you did. Also gained 55 to 60 pounds. I couldn’t keep up with milk supplies and had to formula and only breastfeed for 5 weeks . I finally don’t feel alone after watching this. I never hear these struggles online and thanks for being super honest. Love you so much!
You’re an AMAZING mom!! Those who are going to say otherwise can shove it. Seriously you’re doing amazing! Also, not alone with the struggles on your body image. I gained almost 80 pounds and it was so hard!! 6 MO pp & feeling better but it’s crazy that I’m totally okay with now versus in the beginning it was so hard! I think I’ve just accepted my Mom body & love it for what it’s done!
Crying with you re: breastfeeding. Felt that so hard and needed to hear your message. Thanks for sharing, means more than you know to help other mommas ❤
Motherhood looks so good on you Rachel. I’m also a new mom just a few weeks ahead of you and it’s so tough day to day. You looked beautiful throughout your pregnancy and you look amazing postpartum. Maverick is such a lucky lil guy!
Re: scheduling, We’ve been doing moms on call since 2weeks (now 4mo) and it’s reallllly worked for us! So nice to know when she’ll be eating, playing, sleeping so I can plan my day.
Breast feeding and pumping is so mentally and physically draining, and worrying about your supply is so consuming too. Nobody should judge you for feeding your baby, whether it’s breast milk or formula, he’s fed and happy. Also, you look amazing as always and you literally GLOW when you talk about motherhood! 💛
I had the exact same breastfeeding journey and my god I wish I had seen this when I was going through it. The shame and guilt I felt for having to stop pumping was so overwhelming. I still tear up thinking about how hard I was on myself. You’re doing amazing Rachel and I love seeing you go through this phase of life! My girl is 13 months now, it truly does goes by so fast 😢
Everything you spoke about was so well said. Also you look absolutely beautiful. You grew a whole ass human being in your body!! Even if you never lose that weight back, you’re even greater than you were before because of what you went through ❤️
You are a wonderful mother, all in on motherhood, new mom learning as you go, putting your heart and soul into your child...it is so obvious! It's so true a fed baby is a happy baby. I had 4 children and each have a different breast feed story...it did get "easier" with each child but what matters most is that they are fed. I love watching you and Dylan as parents.
Rachel! You’re doing everything perfectly! Everyone has their own way of doing what’s best for them & baby! Being a mom is the best thing, but it’s also hard! People always want to give their two cents, and sometimes that’s hard to navigate but always trust yourself! ❤
My first one couldn’t keep up and he was so hungry added baby cereal in bottle at night. And than went to all to all formula. He is now 6’4”. My second one drank just milk till almost 2yr. Not to into solids not as hungry as at first he’s 5’8”. Each child is different. Your doing great take any tips from grandma she has the most experience❤️
You’re doing amazing! Don’t be hard on yourself this is just learning for your next babies us as woman are always figuring it out 💗 also your weight looks really good!!
First off you’re doing great and look great! My baby is turning one this week and it’s does fly by so take it all in 😊 Wanted to come on here to say thanks for sharing! I had the same struggles with nursing and never related with my mom friends on this! Pumping is 100% sooooo hard! Good on you for sticking with it for 2 months! Healthy and happy is ALL that matter 🥰
Nursing, pumping, formula - they are all perfect! I'm about to have baby#3, I nursed my first two but have had to supplement with formula at times. I have also always said if I had to switch solely to formula for any reason that I refuse to beat myself up about it.
My first baby was born at 37 weeks via an emergency c section and because I had had preeclampsia, she wasn’t getting enough nutrients through the placenta and weighed only 4 lbs 2 oz. So she had to go to the nicu and we were told to supplement with formula because she was so teeny. I had a low supply because it was so new to me and she had been in the nicu, so breastfeeding was a big time struggle as a first time mom and I beat myself up about it. With my second baby, he breastfed exclusively and I had an over supply. Each pregnancy and postpartum journey is unique, from mother to mother and pregnancy to pregnancy. Never be hard on yourself for feeding your baby formula. My kids are now 9 and 7 and they are both incredibly healthy. Women should just be supportive of one another and not judge. Parenting is not linear and every mother’s circumstances are different. ❤Also, I agree, it’s so important to get the baby out of the house everyday. I always took my kids out on long walks every single day to get fresh air.
Thank you for sharing and being so open! Breastfeeding/pumping/feeding in general was the hardest part of being a new mom. My baby just turned one. Enjoy every moment during the first year because it truly goes so fast. ❤
Rachel you’re doing the best as a first time mom! Don’t feel guilty for feeding him formula ❤️ I couldn’t breastfeed with my first and she’s thriving even though she had to drink formula.
Don’t pressure yourself on a routine until he’s about 6 months or more!!! Babies fall into routines on their own and it’s way less stressful to just let them!! That being said, we did sleep train and it’s hard but so worth it!
Definitely I agree about giving yourself grace with getting back to your pre-pregnancy weiight, It will happen eventually and don’t stress yourself about that right now
Rachel you’re doing great, and you look amazing!! Remember, Maverick thinks you’re the most beautiful person in the world - and that’s all that matters! ❤️
Every one of my breastfeeding journeys were difficult 😣 it’s so hard . I truly know I couldn’t have tried harder, it was torture at times, my body just would not produce enough after a certain point, no matter how much I pumped, ate, fed them. It’s so different for every
I have three daughters. 19, 18, and 10. I formula fed all of them from day 1 for my own personal reasons. My oldest is in computer science in college. My middle is a senior and above 4.0 and my youngest is also very smart and all three healthy. I feel bad when women feel guilty or worry about using formula. In the whole scheme of things it does not matter how a baby receives its food as long as they are eating. The stress and worry is not worth it in those early days of their life!
I am 10+ 4 and I have been nauseous since week 7. Next week I will have the end first trimester ultrasound so the most important one. I wish my baby is healthy and I cant wait to be a mom❤
Thank you for sharing Rachel!!! You are so beautiful inside and outside and I appreciate your transparency through this season! The woman body is so beautiful and God gave you Maverick through your body and I think you're doing an amazing job
As a 29 year old mom of 4, some of my kids were EBF, one combo, one only formula. Each kid is different & they all grow up just fine! Don’t let it wear on you- easier said than done tho! 😊
I wish everyone told me how hard breast feeding is before I had my baby. I took online breast feeding courses through the company i got my pump from and they never once discussed how difficult it was or what you could do to bring your supply up. I beat myself up for so long when i decided to stop breast feeding. Its such a tough mental journey for sure!
You’re a rockstar Rachael our stories are very similar! I cried after my son first pediatrician appt bc the exact same thing happened. I also stopped breastfeeding at 2 months bc he was intolerant to dairy. You’re not alone. You’re doing great 🤍🤍✨✨
Thank you for sharing your story, Rachel! If you’re open to it, could you explain more about where the chemical pregnancy fit into your timeline and story and how you handled that? I vaguely recall you mentioning you had a chemical and my heart went out to you. ❤
You’re doing amazing Rachel! Thanks for opening up to us on your motherhood journey so far 🤍 I followed Taking Cara Babies for schedules starting around 2-3 months for my son and loved it. We followed wake windows for naps which worked so well for us.
I breastfed my daughter for 15 months. I had planned to keep going until she turns 2...but she had her own plans and self weaned over a period of about three months and then one day stopped cold turkey. It was extremely emotional for me. And caused many painful clogs. When I first had her, I didn't think I could strictly breastfeed. I tried triple feeding which was actually much harder and more stressful for me than just breastfeeding. Eventually I stopped feeling like a cow haha and became used to the crazy constant feedings. And then one day she stopped and I realized just how much I loved the closeness it brought us. I was an over producer and got clogs BAD constantly though...so being dried up now is great. Lol.
Wow! Praise God you got induced - my mom actually lost my sister at 39 weeks from cholestasis. Then she got pregnant again with my little brother and had the same thing and praise God she got induced right away and he’s a healthy amazing boy!!!
My kids are 7 & 4 now, but geez. I still remember how hard all that was. I was someone who breastfed my baby anywhere, and if anyone was uncomfortable they could politely mind their own business 😂
Were you nervous taking him to the airport/ on the plane germs wise? I feel like even adults are getting sick now from planes but I’d rather go on a plane than drive
Oh my gosh I lost touch with your channel I guess TH-cam stopped showing your content to me!! You look so different and beautiful as always and congratulations on the baby!! Wow time fliessa
I have the exact same pumping nursing journey. Stopped at 2.5 months. It was soooo hard to make that decision to stop but wow formula was so good for us ❤ you’re so right, sometimes it feels like no one else is going through it. You are doing amazing!!❤️
Takingcarababies is such a good resource for routines and wake window education. I don’t think it’s worth it to buy the course but their blog/website is so helpful especially when their wake windows change like every month!
Thank you for opening up about the realness of being a new mom. I had my first son 6 years ago and I was SO overwhelmed with how difficult feeding was. I was also an underproducer. I exclusively nursed & pumped and fed breast milk because I was so afraid to use formula but at my son's 2 month checkup the doctor was like ok we need to supplement he isn't gaining weight and so we did and I'll never forget that first formula bottle and the sigh of relief my little baby did because he was finally full! Man, I wish I hadn't felt the shame and introduced it sooner , fed is best like you said. With my 2nd son I tried breastfeeding again and it was no easier, but this time I wasn't afraid to supplement with formula from day 1. You're doing so amazing with Maverick , you can tell how much happiness he has filled you with and you're a natural.🩵

I'm not even close to getting pregnant but I watched the whole thing! I love your new mom era! ♥
Thank you for opening up to us❤

I was a schedule mom! I have always done eat-play-sleep - and you could always start capping certain naps so that bed time stays the same each night!
Also you're doing SO great

Which Warby Parker glasses are these? Love this video!
Love it. Ty for sharing!
You're doing so great!! Fed is best. The most important thing to a baby is a happy mom ❤

Thank you for sharing your experience ❤

I have the exact same pumping nursing journey. Stopped at 2.5 months. It was soooo hard to make that decision to stop but wow formula was so good for us ❤ you’re so right, sometimes it feels like no one else is going through it. You are doing amazing!!❤️
What camera do you use to film?
what is the mandelic serum?
They won’t see me until 10 weeks! Going insane over here 😅
Takingcarababies is such a good resource for routines and wake window education. I don’t think it’s worth it to buy the course but their blog/website is so helpful especially when their wake windows change like every month!
Families I babysit for use moms on call or takingcarababies for schedules
You look amazing and healthy. Honestly I think a little extra weight looks fantastic on you. 100%
❤️❤️❤️
Why were you induced only at 37 weeks??
❤❤❤
Rachel you look so amazing!! I’m currently pregnant and hope I carry as beautifuly as you did 😊 🩷
Does your mom fly for free, just wondering since she is a flight attendant I think?
She was a private flight attendant so sadly she doesn’t fly for free
