I have a mental list of Shayla quotes I tell myself when in doubt of “how to baby”. This “problem” quote just got added to the list. Thanks for the confidence boost 😄👍
Yes! This is what I learned with my first child. If it feels right for you, do it! I breastfed to sleep until he was 2 years old, yes it had downsides, but that what I felt was right for me. Also "sleep training"... I did read about it at the beginning and was kind of influenced, but then I realized that just listening to your child needs is what I want I do. Again, there downsides, but that what felt right for me.
COVID kids. Where target and Christmas are in the same “dress up” category. Or anytime you leave the house. One of My husband’s jobs was to make sure to feed me at regular intervals so that I could feed the baby.
I don’t mean to sound like a suck up, but YOU are the mom I’m trying to be like! Cloth diapering, Montessori bed, nursing to sleep, going non-toxic (this is a JOURNEY) ... heck, I might even try EC if I get bold enough! You inspire me to try and not be afraid to fail and do it my way. Thanks Shayla 😘
Now I know why her videos are good. Section 'Mom toolbox' - she listens to different people! That's how you get a broad perspective, that's how you learn and grow.
I don't have kids and I like your channel. Your information seems really useful and free of that "Idealized" idea of maternity. I really like that. I think I just discovered the kind of mom I want to be.
Ok. I’ve been watching a million videos on baby everything. First baby due May 2021, and your videos so far are the best. Firstly, your humor. Lol Secondly, it doesn’t seem so curated and premeditated with 3Lbs of makeup, unrealistic outfits and perfect dome hair. You’re the realist and most honest I’ve seen lol SUBSCRIBE
She has some of the best content. I began watching her when she was running around the world. I still watch because the content is just hilariously honest. Glad I could find a fellow "non-pregnant" viewer! :)
@@heyshayla eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!! you replied to me again! Gosh I just love you and your channel. So many great tips and tricks. You’re so real and fantastic. I want an autograph from you to hang in my nursery for my little potato babies. Lols I’m nuts. Sorry. Haha
@@heyshayla Truly!! I love you and your channel so much! When I talked to my doc about a natural birth he asked if I was going to be "granola" and I thought of you and said "heck yes!" lolol never heard that term until I watched your videos
Currently 18 weeks and this video was SO HELPFUL!!! I just checked out your amazon registry and WOW they are amazing! I will be putting my registry together soon and am so thankful for your help (cause this new mama needs it🙋🏼♀️)
I'm glad to know all my experiences being a first time mom were exactly the same.. don't feel so alone now. My son is almost a year old, and I know I'll do these things differently too
I started watching your videos about minimalism registry and now I’m sucked into cloth diapering and elimination training. I was already considering those before and it’s so much easier to be able to watch your concise videos where you detail everything and what not to worry about. Thank you for doing the research for us!
Meal prep... Yeah... One of my sisters made us a bunch of freezer meals as my baby shower gift. It was so kind, but #1 we actually didn't really like them (they made me nauseous during my third trimester) and #2 we ended up emergency moving during the last month. But it was very kind!
Yesyesyes absolutely agree with the mom sleep! That's one of my biggest "regrets" too. My baby is a week away from 9 months and I still keep thinking back to all the frequent, uninterrupted naps she used to take while I cleaned, did laundry, cooked...just whatever i could find to do around the house to feel in control but NOT sleep. Definitely doing that differently next time!
I’m expecting our 5th, planned home birth because I’m too lazy to drive to the hospital... I call myself a lazy parent. Because co-sleep, breastfeed, EC, cloth diapers, BLW, home birth.... it’s all things I find natural and I don’t fight it. and I don’t sleep when baby sleeps. I try. But I have 4 kids lol.
omg, you are a super woman. I have ONE. ONE! By the way, after 5 months, lazy co sleep parent, I think it can't get better in terms of sleep. Cloth diapers..not lazy thoughhhh..
You are a hero! I was an only child, the idea of having siblings scares me and I'm 27! HAHA! I love it, you are so powerful! Bless your womb. I'm sending you happy, good, energy!
Finding you on here is like me finding the mom that makes me feel not crazy! So much of what you share resonates with me. I don’t have lots of mom friends w littles probably bc I’m 43 & my LO is 14 mo. & the ones I do have aren’t excited about the things I am (like exclusive nursing bc it’s good for her even tho I don’t love it, EC, Montessori, etc.) which is sad but you are an encouragement & I am thankful for that!
Thank you for being so nonjudgmental and REAL. Women need more women like you. I have a 4 yo and am 24 wks pregnant with our 2nd and last. We have NOTHING done for this baby but amazingly... I am ok with that. There’s no freak out this time. My biggest “regret”... TOYS. Oh my Lord they don’t need ALL the toys. We went overboard with my 1st and it’s out of control now. I’d like to mention that she wants for nothing and her favorite toy is a CARDBOARD BOX and a wooden spoon! 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂❤️
It’s possible! I currently have a 2 year old and a 3 week old. Everyday since baby was 2 weeks he sleeps from 12-2ish and my 2 year old sleeps/plays by herself in her crib. That’s when I take my nap , and I guard that time with EVERYTHING. 😭😭
Just yes to everything. EC is great, cloth nappies are great. You really do find what works for you once you stop reading 'what is right' and let go a little!
My son was really bad at tummy time and hated it on most days, barely stayed on his tummy for more than 10 seconds and it used to stress me out so much because everyone on youtube kept stressing on that. I also never put him in a walker or one of those activity centers that even more youtube mom's encourage. Out of experience, and I know all kids are different, but I found tummy time not so necessary because my son started walking in less than 10 months without us actually teaching him to. It comes naturally, one needn't fret so much about these things and, get stressed and in turn unleash a list of these to do's on the baby I feel.
Fabulous! FYI you got a subscribe when you mentioned EC, as it's fairly rare for people to mention it as part of a bigger video. I'm expecting my first in November and this video has helped. Thanks!
Girl you don’t NEED anything for babe. Diapers, your boob and a place for them to sleep. It’s you that needs stuff. Also you shouldn’t know everything you need to know, there’s too much. You learn on the fly. You’ll do great 😍
I'm not even halfway through this and you're so on cue. Covid kids only wear jammies! My little went through a phase of 2 months where i was like screw these outfits and jammies all the time. But then he grew so fast and I live in a small area...baby boy pajamas are a night mare to find around here and ordering online was no better. Now it's part of our daily routine to change the diaper and switch to clothes for the day and breakfast. Then for bedtime we have our routine to switch back to jammies. More laundry but it is a nice part of the routine for him.
I think of her videos as "auntie prep" hahaha. I could put it on my babysitting resume. "I watch Hey Shayla videos, therefore I've got my tool-kit ready!" 🤣
Biggest regret was worrying about baby sleep. I never considered sleep training as I read about the dangers associated, but I obsessively tracked every minute of sleep. Now I just go with the flow and follow possums approach and my baby finally only wakes 3-4 times a night rather than every 45 minutes.
Yay for Hypnobabies, elimination communication, and cloth diapering! I'm curious about the non-toxic convertible car seats. I only know about the infant one, Uppababy Mesa, made with wool instead of flame retardants. 💜 Heidi
Such good information, but so much so quick that it’s hard to track/follow 😩 I’ll just have to slow it down and write things down when I re-watch! Lol. Love it ♥️ currently 11weeks and trying to get educated.
GIRL! Your thing about the nontoxic car seats and then going through the whole house to try and get rid of the toxic crap is TOO REAL! Guess who is replacing all the mattresses and futon couch in our house for all organic nontoxic crap. It is endless! Now I’m thinking I need to replace the pillows...
Just to reiterate; cloth diapers need to be replaced when wet, approx every 2 hrs or so... how many diapers do you suggest you should own when going reusable? Thx!!
I'm planning on getting pregnant with my second sometimes this year so I'm following your channel for future reference! I tried so hard for a natural labor but I didn't really want to pay for a program like hypnobabies and couldn't afford a doula. Maybe hypnobabies would be worth it for this time.
I used the gentle birth app on my phone- free at first and then very affordable after. Comes with ebook, workbook, and online community. Just had my first baby 5 days ago! Managed 19 hours of labor unmedicated and natural! I also didn’t want to pay for doula and hadn’t heard of hypnobabies.
Also with the toxic flame retardant there are other other products besides car seats that have them. A solution is buying used (I know they expire) over time the toxic retardant wears off
Maaany people say the hakaa is the best, including my sister BUT if you plan to feed on demand, there is actually no need for it. Plus it limits feeding position, my baby keeps kicking it down! haha! Just never saw an alternative view on that and in case a mom wants to feed on demand, maybe good info here in the comments.
Can you make a video about why you regret sleep training in more detail? My baby is 6 months and we always contact nap and nurse to sleep but I’ve been considering takingcarababies’ course and want to know why you didn’t love it
Taking cara babies is not gentle at all. Sleep training is very flawed and sells the myth of self soothing which is biologically impossible until at least 3 years old. Sleep is developmental and cant be taught or trained, it's the biological norm to nurse and cuddle our babies to sleep. Sleep training just teaches babies to not cry out, they still wake up just simply dont bother crying because the lost hope of getting help, it causes something called shut down syndrome (basically fight of flight, but they just freeze in fear and stay quiet in the dark) I can highly recommend the facebook group called "the beyond sleep training project" to learn about the biological norms of babies sleep.
I mean kind of what Charlotte said. If you nurse to sleep you’re in the red of her scale to get baby to sleep. It felt too overwhelming. We did one night and weren’t super committed but it was just all crying. I also don’t have to go to work in the morning, so what’s best for your family might not be what’s best for mine. Trust your mom instincts and also what you need to do to have a happy home
First baby, 28 weeks here ! 😍😍😍😍love this type off video! I just subscribed! Can anyone’s tell me where do I get the baby box( or something) ? Sounds like what I need...
You really have to take advantage of naps with your first. Once you have the 2nd your first doesn't nap as frequently as a baby or sometimes not at all. You can't just sleep when baby sleeps and let a toddler run rampant unsupervised. I wish I had slept with my 1st bc 3.5 years later when I had my 2nd there was ok napping at all.
uuh finally found someone who does both! EC and cloth diaper and has a dryer? My question is: How many diapers do i need if i am successfully ECTraining my baby?? They say "normal" babys need 20-24. But an EC-Baby? as many? less?
soo I had a dream that I was pregnant (definitely not) and I was on my way to the hospital and I was like oh shit I need witch hazel pads!! so I made them really quick. I’ve been subscribed for ever and I just love your videos even though I don’t plan on having kids ANY time soon lol. love your energy!!
Don't give up on breastfeeding for the first 2 weeks. Honestly I almost gave up on day 5 after my son wasn't latching on. We were both in tears, I was so exhausted!! but I'm glad I had my mum, a nurse and a pediatrician there to tell me it's OK, and just keep trying! You need your tribe of women!!
I hate cooking, so I was ecstatic about being served food in the hospital after the birth. I almost stayed the extra day at the hospital just to get more meals served to me.
@@heyshayla yes and I too love the look! I just got a shag haircut and the very first thing I wanted to do was put on my retro glasses to complete the lewk
The thing with bottling, is that I introduced a bottle at 3 weeks with no problem and then by 3 months the sucking reflex starts to go away and babies are more conscious of what they’re sucking on and she then refused the bottle anyways 😂
@@heyshayla Right?! I thought I was for sure in the clear but apparently not...that being said I've had lots of friends who have had success with early bottle introduction and lots with babies like mine who spontaneously refused the bottle after months. Babies I tell ya...

First time momma here 9 months pregnant. Your channel is worth more than gold right now....thank you!!!!!
Thank you for saying "something is only a problem if it is a problem for you"! I really needed to hear that today.
Totally!!! So true but so hard to believe when everyone has so much to say
I have a mental list of Shayla quotes I tell myself when in doubt of “how to baby”. This “problem” quote just got added to the list. Thanks for the confidence boost 😄👍
Stop! This makes me so happy!!
My pediatrician said this to me at my daughter's 4 month appointment and it was almost liberating, if that makes sense.
Yes! This is what I learned with my first child. If it feels right for you, do it! I breastfed to sleep until he was 2 years old, yes it had downsides, but that what I felt was right for me. Also "sleep training"... I did read about it at the beginning and was kind of influenced, but then I realized that just listening to your child needs is what I want I do.

One of My husband’s jobs was to make sure to feed me at regular intervals so that I could feed the baby.
Hahaha am I wrong though?!
Haha I think that’s a good husband job 😍
@hey shayla NOT WRONG 👏🏼👏🏼
My man's had that job since I got pregnant ( well actually even before, but it wasnt needed, just made me put on the happy pounds 🤣).
The way you closed out this video was GOLD! “It’s not a problem unless it is not working for you.” 💪🏻❤️
I feel so thankful for all your first time pregnancy vids, I just found out I'm pregnant and you are helping me SO MUCH!!! Thank you!!
I don’t mean to sound like a suck up, but YOU are the mom I’m trying to be like! Cloth diapering, Montessori bed, nursing to sleep, going non-toxic (this is a JOURNEY) ... heck, I might even try EC if I get bold enough!

😭😭😭 stooooop😍😍😍
Now I know why her videos are good. Section 'Mom toolbox' - she listens to different people! That's how you get a broad perspective, that's how you learn and grow.
Yes!! 2nd baby, told the nurse NOT leaving until I talk to a lactation consultant! Best demand ever!
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
I agree about cloth diapering and EC. They are harder to explain then actually do! Love it
That's a great way to phrase it! Harder to explain than actually do. I'm gonna borrow that. 💜 Heidi
I don't have kids and I like your channel. Your information seems really useful and free of that "Idealized" idea of maternity. I really like that. I think I just discovered the kind of mom I want to be.
Hi Shayla! I loved this one so much! The "get yourself an arsenal of moms" it made me laugh so much! Lots of love to you and your family.

The having a glass of wine while they’re nursing is genius. 😂
I never thought of that 😂😂
Omg why didn't I think of this 😂 this could have changed my postpartum experience completely!
It is not as easy. I tried a glass of wine and I felt awful. You have to get used to it again 😂
I do this! 😂 my baby is now 13 months and totally fine😅

Haha yay!!!
Totally agree - just do what works for you. So encouraging!
For my second, I didn't put as much pressure on myself about breastfeeding. I supplemented with formula earlier and wasn't as stressed out.
Meal prep... Yeah... One of my sisters made us a bunch of freezer meals as my baby shower gift. It was so kind, but #1 we actually didn't really like them (they made me nauseous during my third trimester) and #2 we ended up emergency moving during the last month. But it was very kind!

Same with the lazy parenting. Did a home birth, cloth nappy, breast feed 😂
You are a hero! I was an only child, the idea of having siblings scares me and I'm 27! HAHA! I love it, you are so powerful! Bless your womb. I'm sending you happy, good, energy!
Literally living this exact life! Baby #5 due in July!

The bastards lol 😂
Lmaooo
OMG you’re AMAZING! So glad I found you! 20 weeks pregnant with my first 😝
Thank you for being so nonjudgmental and REAL. Women need more women like you.
I have a 4 yo and am 24 wks pregnant with our 2nd and last. We have NOTHING done for this baby but amazingly... I am ok with that. There’s no freak out this time. My biggest “regret”... TOYS. Oh my Lord they don’t need ALL the toys. We went overboard with my 1st and it’s out of control now. I’d like to mention that she wants for nothing and her favorite toy is a CARDBOARD BOX and a wooden spoon! 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂❤️
Hahahahaha omg so true!!! I love that you’re confident enough to let go and say.. we’re good lll
The second kid- there’s no way to sleep when the baby sleeps because you have another kid who’s awake all day 😩 it’s rough
I fear this

Thank you TH-cam for suggesting me this channel! Loooooved it!
Due on the 30th of March! But I KNOW he's coming sooner. I'm so excited but just feel unprepared! I'm not even worried about labor and birth 😅

Toxic car seats. Didn’t even know that was a thing!! Great. Let’s pile more into my anxiety 🙃😭
I know I’m sorry!
Just to reiterate; cloth diapers need to be replaced when wet, approx every 2 hrs or so... how many diapers do you suggest you should own when going reusable? Thx!!
I think the magic number is 24. Two days worth

Not a bad idea!

Awe. I nursed to sleep too up until he was 3. Honestly it just gets easier. Boobs are the best parenting tool.
Can you make a video about why you regret sleep training in more detail? My baby is 6 months and we always contact nap and nurse to sleep but I’ve been considering takingcarababies’ course and want to know why you didn’t love it
Taking cara babies is not gentle at all. Sleep training is very flawed and sells the myth of self soothing which is biologically impossible until at least 3 years old. Sleep is developmental and cant be taught or trained, it's the biological norm to nurse and cuddle our babies to sleep. Sleep training just teaches babies to not cry out, they still wake up just simply dont bother crying because the lost hope of getting help, it causes something called shut down syndrome (basically fight of flight, but they just freeze in fear and stay quiet in the dark) I can highly recommend the facebook group called "the beyond sleep training project" to learn about the biological norms of babies sleep.
I mean kind of what Charlotte said. If you nurse to sleep you’re in the red of her scale to get baby to sleep. It felt too overwhelming. We did one night and weren’t super committed but it was just all crying. I also don’t have to go to work in the morning, so what’s best for your family might not be what’s best for mine. Trust your mom instincts and also what you need to do to have a happy home
First baby, 28 weeks here ! 😍😍😍😍love this type off video! I just subscribed! Can anyone’s tell me where do I get the baby box( or something) ? Sounds like what I need...
It’s called a baby list bottle box!
Lol the mom toolbox part. I need more moms in my toolbox xD
“Opposite...opposite” lol
🤦♀️😂
Everyone: "Sleep while baby sleeps"
My baby: "I'll just stay awake!!"
You really have to take advantage of naps with your first. Once you have the 2nd your first doesn't nap as frequently as a baby or sometimes not at all. You can't just sleep when baby sleeps and let a toddler run rampant unsupervised. I wish I had slept with my 1st bc 3.5 years later when I had my 2nd there was ok napping at all.
uuh finally found someone who does both! EC and cloth diaper and has a dryer? My question is: How many diapers do i need if i am successfully ECTraining my baby?? They say "normal" babys need 20-24. But an EC-Baby? as many? less?
soo I had a dream that I was pregnant (definitely not) and I was on my way to the hospital and I was like oh shit I need witch hazel pads!! so I made them really quick. I’ve been subscribed for ever and I just love your videos even though I don’t plan on having kids ANY time soon lol. love your energy!!
HAhahaha amazing
Don't give up on breastfeeding for the first 2 weeks. Honestly I almost gave up on day 5 after my son wasn't latching on. We were both in tears, I was so exhausted!! but I'm glad I had my mum, a nurse and a pediatrician there to tell me it's OK, and just keep trying! You need your tribe of women!!
I hate cooking, so I was ecstatic about being served food in the hospital after the birth. I almost stayed the extra day at the hospital just to get more meals served to me.
Lol I’m dead 🤣 you are funny ❤️
Ok . Im sold . Love your channel. Sub 🙋♀️
Thank you for drink wine while you're breastfeeding! That knowledge is freaking gold! Lol 🍷
Funny how you say 6 weeks is long cause my baby rejected it, few months later was cool with it and has been since.
Literally me in another person
I’m a mom of 3 and I still can’t catch sleep cues 🤦♀️
Oh great! For some reason I think next time I’ll be more prepare haha
its 7:42pm and you best believe i have my blue light blocking glasses on
Ayyyyy! Do you agree they’re legit?
@@heyshayla yes and I too love the look! I just got a shag haircut and the very first thing I wanted to do was put on my retro glasses to complete the lewk
Yaaaaas🙌
The thing with bottling, is that I introduced a bottle at 3 weeks with no problem and then by 3 months the sucking reflex starts to go away and babies are more conscious of what they’re sucking on and she then refused the bottle anyways 😂
WHat!!!!
@@heyshayla Right?! I thought I was for sure in the clear but apparently not...that being said I've had lots of friends who have had success with early bottle introduction and lots with babies like mine who spontaneously refused the bottle after months. Babies I tell ya...
I love your videos but I just watched your registry video before this and you said the same things in this video and that video lol
Really?!
@@heyshayla it just seemed like it to me 🤣🤣🤣❤️
