We saw your comments about the essential oils and the diffuser. We looked more into it and we decided to stop using them both. Thank you for the comments, good looking out, we appreciate it! Thank you!
I'm pleased people were on the ball about that, I've debated about buying one, knew nothing about the effects on pets from essential oils 😳, so i too am grateful for that information x 👍🏻😊
This was the first I'd read about young living oils so I appreciate the commenter sharing the information. Glad you checked it out and stopped using them. We never used anything to scent the air when our children were babies/children. No candle burning or Lysol type sprays either. Just didn't want their lungs to have to handle anything else than what was already floating around 😄
You guys are doing great. Watching you is like déjà vu for me as I have a 6 month old and we’ve gone through so many similar situations and just figuring everything out. Every day is a new struggle but also new lessons and new beautiful moments. It’s the hardest job but most rewarding being a parent. I just wanted to say the #1 thing I’ve learned is that the only consistency is inconsistency because things change daily with a baby, and being flexible and open to trying new things but also just doing what works for YOU guys is the most important. All the advice people throw your way is great(and in a situation like this can be awesome for alerting you to something unsafe!), but do what feels best in your hearts for anything you decide to do. I have continued breastfeeding despite people telling me it would be easier to stop, we bed share half the time because we didn’t want to sleep train so when our little guy is upset in the night and won’t resettle we follow the safe sleep 7 and bring him in bed to comfort him. Even though family or other people might disagree with some of our choices, we do what we feel is right. Trust your intuition! I can see how it might be difficult to share your lives as you figure all of this out. But you guys are doing amazing!! And one tip from a fellow breastfeeding mom Jenn, the only thing that is actually proven to cause issues with a breastfed baby in the mom’s diet is dairy(but it’s actually uncommon unless you’re seeing blood in his poop). So I wouldn’t worry about cutting spicy food! :) love to you guys!
I would like to see a Jenn Tracker takeover vlog where Tim stays home with Jackson, while Jenn gets to go out by herself to the parks (when she is feeling up to it!) and Jenn gets to control the camera and the agenda and she gets a fun solo day of all the rides she missed in 2019! Girl power! Switch up the status quo! And then maybe Tim could edit the video that Jenn makes?
Tim and Jen, I remember being a first time mom and being so unsure of what to do that I would follow any advice I got. I drove myself nuts and felt inadequate. I can only imagine how much advice I would have gotten if my life was as public as yours. I hope that doesn’t happen to you. Thankfully, I came to realize that there is no one right way to care for a child and that as long as my baby was gaining weight, whatever I was doing was right. Years later, when I had my second child, I was much more relaxed and remembered that I could listen to advice, but if I didn’t follow it, that would be okay. No matter what, you need to remember that you are doing the best you can, and your best is DEFINITELY enough.
Christina I was thinking the same thing! I’d be so overwhelmed! At the same time, it does seem like they’re getting some good bits and able to sort through it all with no issues.
While I agree, I am glad they are taking advice. A few things have been really important for safety reasons . ( essential oils, carseat buckle, height of carrier) They say raising a child takes a village and it's very true. Some things I can agree they probably get to much feedback or advice, but as a mom I'd rather have to much than not enough.
Yes!! Too much good advice is still too much! If it get's you all down, I recommend assigning a thick skinned friend to read comments and then give you the most pertinent information from it all. You are both excellent parents just as you are, all parents make a few mistakes here and there!
You guys need an Instant Pot. There’s lots of good “dump and go” meals. You just dump everything in, turn it on and come back when it’s finished and eat. With most recipes you’d have enough to freeze for another meal or even 2!
You should totally take a day off each week at least!!!! Two or three even!!! You deserve time to recharge! Jackson is beautiful! You guys are doing a great job!!
Jen, I remember thinking my son wasn’t eating enough my first time nursing. Keep drinking water. Your body will make the milk he needs. At this point he could be hitting a growth spurt. He will eat more often to make more milk for him. Your body will adjust but it does take a day or so. If you worry you aren’t making enough milk you can feed and pump to increase your supply too. It sounds like he got what he needed and slept well. Maybe you increased you supply already! My best advice is drink water and don’t supplement formula (it was decrease your supply). I didn’t realize how much water my body needed to make milk, I would fill a gallon jug and have to drink the entire jug during the day. Also he can be bothered by something you ate. It sounds odd but spices, dairy, etc can pass to him. Keep a food journal to see if you see a pattern. I had a friend that if she ate broccoli her child was fussy. You might find a pattern with a food journal. I know another thing to do.... Sometimes it is just a mystery and bad day. Keep being awesome! You and Tim are great parents and Jackson is so lucky!
I agree with this. Little guy could be cluster feeding. Babies go through multiple growth spurts in the first year where they will eat every hour for a few days to a week, which signals to the body to adjust and make more milk to feed their growth. As long as he is gaining and growing, you're doing just fine. :)
Its currently RSV season so I would be hesitant taking Jackson anywhere "closed in"(inside) or anywhere crowded. Babies especially tiny ones (young) are so so susceptible to it and its super dangerous to them.
Anni Fetzko my daughter got it a WEEK before her 2 month vaccines and it was AWFUL! 😢😢 we had to wait until she was 2.5 before we could do her first shots
I sadly got sick with RSV as a toddler, and I had reactive airway disease and asthma. It is very dangerous I agree, I still managed to get it even though my parents were very careful about my vaccinations and staying at home during cold and flu season
Do you have a pediatrician? Ask him about the foods you should be eating while breast feeding. Also, I don't think it is wise to take the baby to any public places before he gets his shots. Especially the Disney area. It is too risky. What happened with the gloves from Target?
It breaks my heart to see you come on here and feel like you have to constantly defend everything you do and every decision you make :( And don't say "it's what they signed up for being on social media" having a kid changes EVERYTHING and they absolutely have the right to not be as transparent to protect their son or themselves, and to not put their newborn in situations he just simply shouldn't be in yet for the sake of youtube viewers. I hugely admire you guys for how open you are, but it also seems like it's causing so much anxiety(understandably, it would to any sane person!) with constantly getting actually hundreds of opinions on what you're doing. If it gets to the point where literally everything you do you have to jump in and defend why you are doing it or worry that people will say something, that's just too much.
I agree! My husband and I say this exact thing every video. I hate that they always feel that they have to explain, defend, apologize, rationalize, etc. everything they do, especially with the baby. I can't imagine what it's like getting that much unsolicited advice from strangers. It would make me not want to show my life as much as they do. I wish everyone would chill with always questioning or calling them out on every little thing.
@@NicholasTranscends It's not about them telling us too much it's about literally hundreds of people each video telling them different things they should he doing as parents or critizcing decisions. They tell us a lot but they sound so anxious when they do, like if we don't overexplain everything or tell and show everything then we aren't doing something right or someone will say something. I just feel bad if they feel like they HAVE to tell us about every little decision. I mean damn they had to come on here to explain to people who actually complained about them not taking their barely one month old to Disney yet why they hadn't! And they had already said multiple times in other videos that they wouldn't take him right away. Sometimes people genuinely mean to help but when you are pregnant and have a baby you have EVERYONE coming at you with their opinion and it is just SO much. Then there are the people get so offended when you don't take their opinion as gold and they for real turn against you🙄 Saying well they make money off it so viewers can act however is really disrespectful to them too. There is ALWAYS a line and esp when it comes it comes to parenting and kids.
@@NicholasTranscends they don't break my heart, that they feel like they constantly have to come on and defend their decisions does. Excuse me and the people who liked the comment, agreeing, and others who posted positive comments letting them know they don't always have to defend every parenting decision/choice. Literally nothing wrong with standing up for a youtuber when they continuously have people questioning their decisions. Pretty weird someone would be offended by that. It's not "protection" it's showing your support. People are mostly likely to comment on things if they have something negative to say or are questioning the comments. Sadly, not enough on social media leave a nice or supportive comment just for the sake of being nice or supportive, even when they want to. Sometimes those comments supporting youtubers and telling them they don't need to constantly defend or explain, telling them to not worry about the negative people, are what they need to see the most even if it seems like they "got" this on camera and "don't need" people sticking up in support of them.
Hey, I’d maybe look into the back story of young living oils. They’re an mlm and the founder was all sorts of problematic! Oils and diffusers are great, but perhaps look to a different brand :)
Also you need to be careful with very young children. I got pretty severe asthma for two years as a child due to a respiratory allergy, and I'm still very sensitive to essential oils and perfumes. But she should definitely avoid MLMs and support local businesses.
I actually thought the first three months of parenting were so difficult and I am amazed at how chill you both are. It truly gets so much easier! I hope you get to that Harry Styles concert!
You guys are incredible. Your care and attention to detail with your parenting and careers is humbling. Keep moving forward, and rising above. Thank you for allowing us into your personal lives. Only the best for your family in the New year!
Things will get easier, it won’t always be this hard! He’s gaining weight, feeding, he’s happy...that’s all you can ask for. You’re wonderful parents & don’t ever feel otherwise. Definitely take a day off every now and again, don’t feel bad about it!
My mom and I just watched and she said when my brother was too tall for his onesie she cut the feet off and put socks on him. We love your videos and so happy for your bundle of joy!
Love watching your blogs! Please don't feel like you have to apologize for taking some time off! You both deserve it! BTW, I am a fairly new addition to your online fam (started watching last summer) and LOVE going back and watching some of your older videos. Can't WAIT to see Jackson at Disney! Sending lots of hugs your way!
Beautiful baby and beautiful parents. Little babies are so precious. There is a lot to learn when raising children. Both of you are doing such a wonderful job. Bless your family and have a super 2020 year.
Go grocery shopping with Jackson or the mall. I lived in Florida when my son was born and he was at Magic Kingdom at 3 months old and he did great. Thanks for all you do
I’m really enjoying the home vlogs! Jackson is so adorable - I think he looks like Jen though 😊 You guys are doing a great job, I remember how hard it was, but so worth it. Thank you for sharing with us!
We just got home from a trip to Disney World. We stayed at The Cabins at Fort Wilderness again. Driving the golf cart around is always one of our favorites too! Amazing to see how all the campers decorate their sites for Christmas. Looked for you each day in the parks. Love your videos!
Your comments about even taking a shower totally resonates! Eventually it will balance out, takes time:) I still have to schedule time to “care for myself” and mine are 6, 3 and 2.
I have so many thoughts and advice to give you, who in my mind are my friends and I want to help. But we’re not really real friends like that. This whole social media relationship thing is so crazy.
I was cracking up after Tim’s impression of Jackson sleeping! Thanks for the laugh on a tough day ! You guys are great parents & I love watching the love you all have for each other !
We really enjoy your videos. It has been great to watch your journey as a couple and now as parents. Keep up the good work and don’t push yourselves too hard. Y’all are adorable!
Ok I’m going to be “that guy” and note that a lot of parents and pediatricians don’t recommend having an infant sleep with a blanket. It increases the risk of suffocation. In fact our pediatrician would ask us at newborn appointments if the baby was sleeping in a crib, on their back, with nothing else in the crib such as pillows, toys, or blankets. Probably will get some hate for this comment but hey...it’s 2020 and I’m all about everyone getting to speak their minds!
actually i came here to say the same thing! the abcs of safe sleep are alone, on back, in crib. babies can use sleep sacks to keep them warm. nothing should be in the crib. thanks for promoting safe sleep!
From the vlogs it seems they only use blankets during the day when he naps and they are both there watching him. When my daughter was a baby we put a loose light blanket on her during the day when we were in the same room. I’m pretty sure with how prepared they are that they know about blankets and not having them at night :)
Thanks for sharing part of your life with us! It's fun to see the baby! I see Tim and Jenn both at times! Disney will be there take him when your comfortable with it! It will be a lot of fun when he's a little older! You guys are great parents! I knew you would be!!
Would also love to see a list of Jen's favorite ways to experience Disney while pregnant. Those days are behind me, but I'm sure someone could benefit, and I'd enjoy hearing her take on that! For me, it would have just been the food, but who knows!
I watched till the end you both need to know that you are doing such a great job! Parenting a new baby is SO hard! I nearly lost my mind and you guys are handling it so well! Just take your time and things will fall into place!
Jackson is changing so much, and is adorable..who does he look like hard to say. Babies don't come with instruction books, you just have to keep reworking everything to find what is best for him and you.You are both doing awesome Mom and Dad...🍼♥️🍼
You guys make such a great team! You have me reminiscing when we brought home our first child and trying to figure it out together. There's something so special about being first time parents!❤️
For the first couple of months my babies were always sleepy eaters. I found if I undressed them to their diapers when I nursed them it helped to keep them awake :) and you get some great skin to skin. Also, in my child development class for my marriage and family degree I learned that the first 4 months of life, babies do not realize they are their own individuals and think they are still connected to mom. That is why it is not recommended to sleep train until the baby is 4-6 months old. The plus side to that is you cannot "spoil" your baby in the first 4 months, wearing him to sleep, holding him all the time etc. Will not cause him to struggle with falling sleep on his own during the first 4 months. However, after the 4 months they learn that they are an individual and how to communicate their preferences meaning they can start to get "spoiled". So eat it up! This is the best time to snuggle baby to sleep 😍
Love Sunbasket! I’m a poor nursing school student and did it twice when they were running specials! I plan on getting it for good when I start working and I’m off my parents’ payroll! Also, I LOVE watching y’all as parents! It absolutely warms my heart and makes me really excited to start my career as a labor and delivery nurse!! ❤️❤️
I've watched Tim and Jenn now for over 5 years. I used to go laugh about them talking about cold too. But we moved to central Florida almost 2 years ago. And I can say once you live through a Florida summer these temperatures feel colder than before. I used to live in the North Carolina mountains where we had subzero temperatures. I also used to wear shorts when it was in the 50's there. Now when it goes below 70 I'm wearing pants! Love you guys!
Hello Tim and Jen congratulations on the birth of baby Jackson. Happy new year I wish you 3 good health in year ahead and many fun adventures together as a family.
Jen, how are you doing,and how are you doing since the surgery? When you go to the parks will you be able to ride anything? Blessings to all of you! And Happy New year !
I 100% support you guys taking some time off each week! I cant believe all of the work you two do to be wonderful parents to Jackson while also putting videos out to make your subscribers happy. Yours and Jackson’s happiness and health comes first. I love you guys and love your videos but I think I’ll live if I don’t see your faces seven days a week❤️
I'll also add that I took my youngest to Disneyland when he was 3 weeks old for my daughter's 5th birthday. But I pretty much wore him the whole time or kept him isolated in the stroller. But it's really about what you're comfortable with
I also took my 3 week old baby to Disneyland.....her sisters were 6 and 8 and we had annual passes and it was Christmas season. the baby was in a carrier on me or in a stroller fully covered. I kinda of cannot believe I did that but we went as a family. had annual passes and it was low stress for us. That baby is now 17 years old and still loves Disneyland and we still go all the time
Absolutely go with Sun Basket! We just had our 6th or 7th meal from them and haven’t had a bad meal yet! Everything is easy to make, flavorful, and a sensible but satisfying portion size. AND, they’ve just started offering meals that are pre-prepped and ready for the oven (or microwave), at the same price as the prep-your-own. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
We love your videos and seeing baby Jackson!! My boyfriend and I are about the same age as you and Jenn and trying for our first child together. Seeing how you are with him and being so supportive of each other is amazing to watch. We love you guys and cannot wait to see more of your little family :-)
So glad you guys are waiting to take him to the parks! It’s the best choice for his health, and your sanity. Babies typically get quite a few colds in the first year of life, but the FLU which is in peak season next month through about mid March is NOT something any baby should have to suffer through nor his parents. 😋 I’m enjoying the peek into a new family’s life. It’s amazing seeing how fast that sweet baby boy has grown.
Oh Jen I’m going through the same with a preemie 4 month old x man I’m so tired, thank you for being real 💛 Definitely pre cook for more than 1 month 🙌🏻😂
Jackson is so precious! Thank you for continuing to share your journey with us, Tracker family. I like to listen to y'all while folding laundry and washing dishes. Makes chores go by so much faster!
Tim: “I don’t think the way the hospital did it was very efficient, they just put a paper underneath him drew two lines and measured them. I mean that’s what I did.” lol
You guys are doing great!! Being a first time parent is overwhelming and you always second guess yourself!! Please just be thoughtful with all the flu and RSV around.
Watched this video (and the Boarding group one) while feeding MY lazy feeder! Aurora is almost 3 weeks old and everything you guys have said and done with Jackson is so relatable! When she's nursing well I find myself telling her "You're doing great, sweetie!" Her first store trip was also to Target! Loving these home vlogs and chuckling the similar experiences we're having to you guys! You're rockstar parents :)
This has probably already been said but I haven’t heard any mention about it: to help his gassiness lay him on his right side (as if you were on your right side) and massage his back on the his left side. This helps creates space for his large intestine and helps push out that baby gas! I used to work at a daycare and this worked wonders for many little ones!😊sorry if you’ve heard it a million times already! Just wasn’t sure!
Goodness Jenn, I have no idea what you’re eating/drinking but you look incredible. You absolutely glow from your toes to the top of your head. Congratulations to you and Tim and your beautiful addition to the Tracker family. Happy 2020.
You two are doing a great job as parents!! You have to do what is best for you and the baby and make your own decisions. Jackson is precious 🥰 and y’all make a great team! Also Love the home vlogs!
I would like to see you going to the outlets because I haven't been there before. Baby Jackson looks like Jen with a side profile of Tim when first born..now he has Tim with a side profile of Jen so to be clear he is a good mix of both
i love checking in on you guys every few days I just wish i could bring round a meal for you or help in anyway! pretty tricky from the UK As a mum of 3 it's lovely to watch little Jackson. You are working as a team and doing a great job!
My son got me hooked on watching u guys... so down to earth and funny.. you definitely should take a day off at least one day a week and enjoy your time as a family.. I’m sure uv been told a thousand times... but it’s so true... time flies.. blink ur eyes and Jackson will be in college.. keep up the great work! Btw.. my kids and I are going to DW in March.. 3/16-3/22.. any chance u know when ur going??

like the idea
I don’t think Jenn drives.
I love how Tim looks at Jen, it's like he falls in love with her everyday. Life goals ❤️
Same
beatrice just it really is!
Jenn you carried Jackson for 9 months, it’s ok for Tim to carry him now 😂

"Oh my God I'm talking too loud about Harry Styles." 😂😂 Tim, darling, you can never talk too loud about Harry Styles.
@@englishatheart that is your opinion and I respectfully disagree. I, also, was making a joke that clearly flew over ya head.
Don't worry about figuring things out with Jack. My oldest is 20 and I'm still trying to figure out parenting with him and his two younger siblings.
You guys need an Instant Pot. There’s lots of good “dump and go” meals. You just dump everything in, turn it on and come back when it’s finished and eat. With most recipes you’d have enough to freeze for another meal or even 2!
Leslie Beaver agreed and an air fryer then you will be in for some fun!
or just a crock pot.
Why doesn't Jenn carry Jackson in the carrier? Because she already carried him for nine months!
More than likely her body is still recovering from child birth and it’s too much weight, I don’t know for sure though
Because she breast feeds him and is with him when Tim goes to the parks, so it’s daddy time!
Rewatch the part at 13:30
ITSH Productions Tim answers the question that has been asked up top there xx
I think that is Tims bonding time.
You should totally take a day off each week at least!!!! Two or three even!!! You deserve time to recharge! Jackson is beautiful! You guys are doing a great job!!
Yes! This comment should have more likes! Take care of yourselves, we would be terribly sad if you burnt out from pushing yourselves too much!!
Omg yes! Take some more time for you guys!

When he put grows the little blankets you should sew them all together and make a big blanket for him to keep forever :)

That is such a sweet idea!

I was cracking up when you showed Tim "sleeping" that was so funny.
Me too, so funny
Me too! I’ve been looking for this comment 😂 made me laugh so hard
Same! Awe
You are so lucky to have Tim home. When my son was born his dad was away in the army. When he finally slept through a night I felt reborn.

And they had already said multiple times in other videos that they wouldn't take him right away. Sometimes people genuinely mean to help but when you are pregnant and have a baby you have EVERYONE coming at you with their opinion and it is just SO much. Then there are the people get so offended when you don't take their opinion as gold and they for real turn against you🙄
Saying well they make money off it so viewers can act however is really disrespectful to them too. There is ALWAYS a line and esp when it comes it comes to parenting and kids.
@@NicholasTranscends they don't break my heart, that they feel like they constantly have to come on and defend their decisions does. Excuse me and the people who liked the comment, agreeing, and others who posted positive comments letting them know they don't always have to defend every parenting decision/choice. Literally nothing wrong with standing up for a youtuber when they continuously have people questioning their decisions. Pretty weird someone would be offended by that. It's not "protection" it's showing your support. People are mostly likely to comment on things if they have something negative to say or are questioning the comments. Sadly, not enough on social media leave a nice or supportive comment just for the sake of being nice or supportive, even when they want to. Sometimes those comments supporting youtubers and telling them they don't need to constantly defend or explain, telling them to not worry about the negative people, are what they need to see the most even if it seems like they "got" this on camera and "don't need" people sticking up in support of them.
Does anyone else notice that when Jenn talks about Harry Styles, Tim looks like he’s thinking “I want to punch your face Harry Styles”? 🤣 🥊
Yes 😂😂😂😂
I think Jackson needs one of those binkies that has a mustache on it.
Natasha Tabert I read that as bikini at first and was confused why the baby needs a bikini with a moustache 😅
Hey, I’d maybe look into the back story of young living oils. They’re an mlm and the founder was all sorts of problematic! Oils and diffusers are great, but perhaps look to a different brand :)
Also you need to be careful with very young children. I got pretty severe asthma for two years as a child due to a respiratory allergy, and I'm still very sensitive to essential oils and perfumes. But she should definitely avoid MLMs and support local businesses.
Also, some oils can be dangerous for dogs, so I would look that up too.
Didn’t the founder “accidently” drown his newborn??
@@meghancl85 I believe so, yes! Didnt they decide on a water birth or something and he held the baby underwater after it was born?? 😢
I actually thought the first three months of parenting were so difficult and I am amazed at how chill you both are. It truly gets so much easier! I hope you get to that Harry Styles concert!
My husband and I have talked about how y'all should totally take 1 or 2 days off a week! Y'all deserve it and your viewers would understand :)
You guys are incredible. Your care and attention to detail with your parenting and careers is humbling. Keep moving forward, and rising above. Thank you for allowing us into your personal lives. Only the best for your family in the New year!
“What mate” is the most English expression I’ve heard Jenn say and I’m living for it 😅😂 Jackson is the cutest🥰
Fern Georgia time stamp please?
@@thedvccouple Bahaha think they wanted the time in the video that she said it not the time where you are xD
Emma Louise Brown hahahaha omg I’m dead 😂😂😂 ooops
Fern Georgia 😂
Things will get easier, it won’t always be this hard! He’s gaining weight, feeding, he’s happy...that’s all you can ask for. You’re wonderful parents & don’t ever feel otherwise. Definitely take a day off every now and again, don’t feel bad about it!
I love the Harry Styles thing so much. My two favorite things, the Trackers and Harry Styles together is just amazing!!
My mom and I just watched and she said when my brother was too tall for his onesie she cut the feet off and put socks on him. We love your videos and so happy for your bundle of joy!
patiently waiting for the video where Tim gets a tattoo for Jackson ......
My Grandmother used to say, "some days are diamonds and some are stones"! You guys are rolling with it all great.
When his mustache comes in he will look more like Tim.
Cersades Cosmos 😂😂😂
He needs baby mustache wax! Hehe
😂😂😂
Greetings from Canada ba ha ha🤣😁😂
That old meme will never get old
Love watching your blogs! Please don't feel like you have to apologize for taking some time off! You both deserve it! BTW, I am a fairly new addition to your online fam (started watching last summer) and LOVE going back and watching some of your older videos. Can't WAIT to see Jackson at Disney! Sending lots of hugs your way!
Looking forward to the meal delivery review. We've been considering trying one. Jackson is so stinking cute!!!!
“Oh no I’m talking too loud about Harry Styles” me everyday
"Bandit is helping." Of course he is, Bandit is a good boy! Love Bandit!
You guys are rockin this parenting phase! So proud of you and your amazing devotion and dedication to your baby! You’re great parents!
Me: I'm a manly man, nothing will get me to talk like a silly person.
*Jackson appears on screen*
Also Me: AWWW LOOK AT THE WITTLE BABY!
😂😂 This made me cackle
Beautiful baby and beautiful parents. Little babies are so precious. There is a lot to learn when raising children. Both of you are doing such a wonderful job. Bless your family and have a super 2020 year.
Go grocery shopping with Jackson or the mall. I lived in Florida when my son was born and he was at Magic Kingdom at 3 months old and he did great. Thanks for all you do
Love you guys and love your content! Started watching a year ago in preparation for our family trip to Disney and now I’m hooked. Love the Home Vlogs!
On the positive side of Jackson feeding for long periods of time during growth spurts it increases your milk production. 💕
I totally understand how great that first good night sleep feels! Congrats! Here’s hoping you all get lots more good sleep! You are amazing parents!
I’m really enjoying the home vlogs! Jackson is so adorable - I think he looks like Jen though 😊 You guys are doing a great job, I remember how hard it was, but so worth it. Thank you for sharing with us!
We just got home from a trip to Disney World. We stayed at The Cabins at Fort Wilderness again. Driving the golf cart around is always one of our favorites too! Amazing to see how all the campers decorate their sites for Christmas. Looked for you each day in the parks. Love your videos!
You both are AWESOME at parenting 💙 Everyone needs time off, and remember Family is most important!!
Your comments about even taking a shower totally resonates! Eventually it will balance out, takes time:) I still have to schedule time to “care for myself” and mine are 6, 3 and 2.
I have so many thoughts and advice to give you, who in my mind are my friends and I want to help. But we’re not really real friends like that. This whole social media relationship thing is so crazy.
I was cracking up after Tim’s impression of Jackson sleeping! Thanks for the laugh on a tough day ! You guys are great parents & I love watching the love you all have for each other !
Jackson enjoys the carrier because he's listening to your heartbeat
We really enjoy your videos. It has been great to watch your journey as a couple and now as parents. Keep up the good work and don’t push yourselves too hard. Y’all are adorable!
Ok I’m going to be “that guy” and note that a lot of parents and pediatricians don’t recommend having an infant sleep with a blanket. It increases the risk of suffocation. In fact our pediatrician would ask us at newborn appointments if the baby was sleeping in a crib, on their back, with nothing else in the crib such as pillows, toys, or blankets. Probably will get some hate for this comment but hey...it’s 2020 and I’m all about everyone getting to speak their minds!
actually i came here to say the same thing! the abcs of safe sleep are alone, on back, in crib. babies can use sleep sacks to keep them warm. nothing should be in the crib. thanks for promoting safe sleep!
It was a very porous and light covering not tucked under a mattress.
i think they are still swaddling him if they use a blanket
From the vlogs it seems they only use blankets during the day when he naps and they are both there watching him. When my daughter was a baby we put a loose light blanket on her during the day when we were in the same room. I’m pretty sure with how prepared they are that they know about blankets and not having them at night :)
@@cronched welll excuse me for missing a few second sof the bloody vlog
Thanks for sharing part of your life with us! It's fun to see the baby! I see Tim and Jenn both at times! Disney will be there take him when your comfortable with it! It will be a lot of fun when he's a little older! You guys are great parents! I knew you would be!!
I loved the count down to the best rides of 2019 and hope you do more of those. Like the best rides ever list for you or Jen’s favorite rides.
Would also love to see a list of Jen's favorite ways to experience Disney while pregnant. Those days are behind me, but I'm sure someone could benefit, and I'd enjoy hearing her take on that! For me, it would have just been the food, but who knows!
I watched till the end you both need to know that you are doing such a great job! Parenting a new baby is SO hard! I nearly lost my mind and you guys are handling it so well! Just take your time and things will fall into place!
Literally thought the title was "What does the baby look like?" And I was like uhhhh a baby? 🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
Jackson is changing so much, and is adorable..who does he look like hard to say. Babies don't come with instruction books, you just have to keep reworking everything to find what is best for him and you.You are both doing awesome Mom and Dad...🍼♥️🍼
Patiently waiting for a Jackson size "king of the bus" outfit
Loving all the home vlogs. Love the park videos but home vlogs have become my favorite & get excited when I see them!!
Seems like sometimes Jackson looks like Jen. Then other days Tim.
You guys are awesome. You’re doing an amazing job it seems like so keep up the good work! Just keep swimming!
Sweet baby Jackson! Perfect blend of both mom, and dad! He’s so lucky to have such great parents!
You guys make such a great team! You have me reminiscing when we brought home our first child and trying to figure it out together. There's something so special about being first time parents!❤️
I want to see Jen have a girls day at the parks while Tims stays home and watches the baby! Pump and girl power ! :D
You guys are doing amazing! Love all the video, in park and home vlogs! Just rest, dont overdo, breath and know you are doing amazing!
For the first couple of months my babies were always sleepy eaters. I found if I undressed them to their diapers when I nursed them it helped to keep them awake :) and you get some great skin to skin. Also, in my child development class for my marriage and family degree I learned that the first 4 months of life, babies do not realize they are their own individuals and think they are still connected to mom. That is why it is not recommended to sleep train until the baby is 4-6 months old. The plus side to that is you cannot "spoil" your baby in the first 4 months, wearing him to sleep, holding him all the time etc. Will not cause him to struggle with falling sleep on his own during the first 4 months. However, after the 4 months they learn that they are an individual and how to communicate their preferences meaning they can start to get "spoiled". So eat it up! This is the best time to snuggle baby to sleep 😍
Love Sunbasket! I’m a poor nursing school student and did it twice when they were running specials! I plan on getting it for good when I start working and I’m off my parents’ payroll!
Also, I LOVE watching y’all as parents! It absolutely warms my heart and makes me really excited to start my career as a labor and delivery nurse!! ❤️❤️
I'm here for Jenn to go see Harry Styles in August!
It's amazing how much having a baby makes you appreciate a few hours of uninterrupted sleep!
I've watched Tim and Jenn now for over 5 years. I used to go laugh about them talking about cold too. But we moved to central Florida almost 2 years ago. And I can say once you live through a Florida summer these temperatures feel colder than before. I used to live in the North Carolina mountains where we had subzero temperatures. I also used to wear shorts when it was in the 50's there. Now when it goes below 70 I'm wearing pants! Love you guys!
It's all relative. Even people up north complain about the cold if it drops 20-40 degrees in a day or two. :)
Hello Tim and Jen congratulations on the birth of baby Jackson. Happy new year I wish you 3 good health in year ahead and many fun adventures together as a family.
Jen, how are you doing,and how are you doing since the surgery? When you go to the parks will you be able to ride anything? Blessings to all of you! And Happy New year !
I 100% support you guys taking some time off each week! I cant believe all of the work you two do to be wonderful parents to Jackson while also putting videos out to make your subscribers happy. Yours and Jackson’s happiness and health comes first. I love you guys and love your videos but I think I’ll live if I don’t see your faces seven days a week❤️
I'll also add that I took my youngest to Disneyland when he was 3 weeks old for my daughter's 5th birthday. But I pretty much wore him the whole time or kept him isolated in the stroller.
But it's really about what you're comfortable with
I also took my 3 week old baby to Disneyland.....her sisters were 6 and 8 and we had annual passes and it was Christmas season. the baby was in a carrier on me or in a stroller fully covered. I kinda of cannot believe I did that but we went as a family. had annual passes and it was low stress for us. That baby is now 17 years old and still loves Disneyland and we still go all the time
I took mine at 7 days old to Disney World. Husband was home from deployment and we seized an opportunity. But I also baby wore the entire time.
Absolutely go with Sun Basket! We just had our 6th or 7th meal from them and haven’t had a bad meal yet! Everything is easy to make, flavorful, and a sensible but satisfying portion size. AND, they’ve just started offering meals that are pre-prepped and ready for the oven (or microwave), at the same price as the prep-your-own. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
Sounds like he’s nursing like a normal newborn. It’s not likely a supply issue. Keep it up! 💜💜 it gets so much easier
This needs more likes!
100% agree!
Defo not a supply issue the more baby feeds he is telling your body to produce more milk! Your doing a fab job mama
Yup! All sounds normal to me
Yes!
I died laughing when you made the Jackson/Tim sleep comparison! 😂 It was hilarious!!
Jen, Jen, Jen... just like his mom, but he will change in his looks everday
We love your videos and seeing baby Jackson!! My boyfriend and I are about the same age as you and Jenn and trying for our first child together. Seeing how you are with him and being so supportive of each other is amazing to watch. We love you guys and cannot wait to see more of your little family :-)
Y’all have the patience of Job, All the “advice” and criticism would drive me nuts. There is no one way to raise a baby so you do you!
YAY for a home vlog, especially one that starts with Jackson in an outfit with crab feet!!! He’s so stinking cute!!!
Maybe Jackson would like to hold onto a “softie” usually made of flannel and about 12/12. Seems to be soothing for them.
I thought the same thing when Jackson started to fuss and stopped when Tim gave him his finger to hold for a few seconds.
So glad you guys are waiting to take him to the parks! It’s the best choice for his health, and your sanity. Babies typically get quite a few colds in the first year of life, but the FLU which is in peak season next month through about mid March is NOT something any baby should have to suffer through nor his parents. 😋 I’m enjoying the peek into a new family’s life. It’s amazing seeing how fast that sweet baby boy has grown.
Oh Jen I’m going through the same with a preemie 4 month old x man I’m so tired, thank you for being real 💛
Definitely pre cook for more than 1 month 🙌🏻😂
Jackson is so precious! Thank you for continuing to share your journey with us, Tracker family. I like to listen to y'all while folding laundry and washing dishes. Makes chores go by so much faster!
Tim: “I don’t think the way the hospital did it was very efficient, they just put a paper underneath him drew two lines and measured them. I mean that’s what I did.” lol
Thanks for sharing. I just happened upon this vlog. So cute. Sweet, sweet baby!! Congratulations!!
When Jackson is old enough you get to try pteranodon flyers
You guys are doing great!! Being a first time parent is overwhelming and you always second guess yourself!! Please just be thoughtful with all the flu and RSV around.
I want to visit Eroda too. Im looking forward to seeing his concert in July.
Watched this video (and the Boarding group one) while feeding MY lazy feeder! Aurora is almost 3 weeks old and everything you guys have said and done with Jackson is so relatable! When she's nursing well I find myself telling her "You're doing great, sweetie!" Her first store trip was also to Target! Loving these home vlogs and chuckling the similar experiences we're having to you guys! You're rockstar parents :)
This has probably already been said but I haven’t heard any mention about it: to help his gassiness lay him on his right side (as if you were on your right side) and massage his back on the his left side. This helps creates space for his large intestine and helps push out that baby gas! I used to work at a daycare and this worked wonders for many little ones!😊sorry if you’ve heard it a million times already! Just wasn’t sure!
Goodness Jenn, I have no idea what you’re eating/drinking but you look incredible. You absolutely glow from your toes to the top of your head. Congratulations to you and Tim and your beautiful addition to the Tracker family. Happy 2020.
Don't VLOG, SLEEP! When he sleeps, YOU sleep!!
You two are doing a great job as parents!! You have to do what is best for you and the baby and make your own decisions. Jackson is precious 🥰 and y’all make a great team! Also Love the home vlogs!
buy onesie extenders! I bought them on Amazon. You get more use out of all the onesies.
I love the rocking crib that sways! How calming. Your doing great you guys!
I would like to see you going to the outlets because I haven't been there before. Baby Jackson looks like Jen with a side profile of Tim when first born..now he has Tim with a side profile of Jen so to be clear he is a good mix of both
i love checking in on you guys every few days I just wish i could bring round a meal for you or help in anyway! pretty tricky from the UK As a mum of 3 it's lovely to watch little Jackson. You are working as a team and doing a great job!
Jenn being a harry styles stan makes me so happy because same lol
Oh my goodness !!! Jackson is adorable ! His baby cry sounds like a toy baby’s cry !! Too cute 😍😍😍
17:44 who heard Jackson’s sweet little yawn!!! 😭😭😭😭
The cutest thing ever!!😭💕😇
My son got me hooked on watching u guys... so down to earth and funny.. you definitely should take a day off at least one day a week and enjoy your time as a family.. I’m sure uv been told a thousand times... but it’s so true... time flies.. blink ur eyes and Jackson will be in college.. keep up the great work! Btw.. my kids and I are going to DW in March.. 3/16-3/22.. any chance u know when ur going??
