I love how honest you are with your babies ❤️❤️ first time mommy and I watch all the videos for tips!
Awww thank you so much! Just trying to help any other mamas out there by sharing the craziness I’m going through lol ❤️
If you do end up prepping your own purrees/mashed baby food, silicon ice cube trays are a godsend. Perfect size for a single serving and easy to manage, cook up enough for a tray, freeze it, once they have frozen you can pop them out and store them for months in labelled snap lock bags in the freezer. Take out what you need for a few days the night before so they can defrost. I prep once a month.
Have followed you since I was pregnant with my Jax! He’s about to be 6 months now lol. Just wanted to let you know something I just realized the other day! I still had my pack and play on the higher up level like you do, then I looked at the manual and my baby was over the weight limit! I had to put the mat at the bottom of the pack and play so it would be safe! That was before he was even 5 months. So just wanted to let you know your little one might be over that weight limit by now! (Not trying to be an annoying know it all- lol, it just looked like your pack and play mat was still up at the top & wanted to let you know for safety!) ♥️♥️
This happened to me too. I looked at it and was like uhhh he’s way over 15 lbs! Or whatever it was lol I can’t remember the limit
You're not alone! My son is about 10 days or so younger than Jackson and he is the same with his naps and every night is different. BLW is fairly new in North America so it can sound scary but it's actually great! If done right there's no choking hazard and little to no gagging (since gagging is a natural way of learning just not too much). It teaches them healthy eating habits, develops their fine motor skills and a bunch of other things! I think I'd recommend starting with avocado since it's a part of your daily diet too, just make sure to leave part of the skin on for them to grip the food easily
Im a teen mom and I love your channel so much. I was pregnant a month behind you. So you always give me great advice for my little one. You've given me so much info. Like I've watched you since you started your pregnancy and you've given me some awesome information and I'm so greatful
@LEXI GRAVES It is hard at times because I feel overwhelmed. At the same time I'm so glad I had her because its changed me to be a better person and to be responsible. I dont recommend being a teen mom because I times I wish I could just go out without having to worry about her. Or watch 18 hours of youtube a day and that's it. Motherhood is the most amazing feeling in the world and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I’m exactly the same with keeping a smaller size still in my little boys wardrobe! I just want him to get as much wear out of it as he can (as he still fits in most of it, although abit snug!)... he will be 6 months after the weekend and also going to start baby led weaning, so will be looking out for your videos!!
I’d definately reccommend making your own homemade purées, atleast that way you know what’s in it and much cheaper! I done this with my first child and all you have to do is a big batch and then portion it out into freezer cubes or lidded pots and freeze them, and stake out what you need and defrost in fridge overnight or defrost in microwave. Obviously if you’re now going onto baby led weaning, you may be leaning more away from purées now...
my 6 month old is in 3-6 month clothes, and still fit in a few of his 0-3 month clothes! Size 3 nappies (as they say between 11-20lb in weight) and he weighs just over 16lb now... I think he’s on track with everything, but with the pandemic they’re not doing any 6 month check ups here in the UK 🇬🇧 he also rolled from his back to his tummy the other week, but not as strong as Jackson is on his tummy. Jackson is so strong!
Also in regards to breastfeeding, it’s so much more convienient than having to wash and sterilise and mix formula up, so if it’s going well why combi feed? It’ll definately make your life so much easier, and us mums definately need that! My little boy is exclusively breast fed and I love the bond and that it’s no hastle having bottles to make up (like I did with my first child as struggle first time round), so many health benefits for you too the longer you breastfeed 👍 🤱
You don’t have to stop breastfeeding if you don’t want too, my daughter is 6 months like Jackson and she sleeps 12 hours and I don’t really feed her In the night and my milk supply is still perfect 👌🏼 so doing be discouraged you can do it momma 💕💕💕
Our babies are the same age and we have the same challenges, good to know I'm not alone in this.
Shout out from Australia!
I’m nursing my son morning and night as well , with formula throughout the day. As well as purée food 3 times a day ! Oatmeal cereal in the morning, 1 fruit purée and 1 veggie purée.. finally someone that is somewhat on the same page as me. My son just turned 6 months today. Naps are the same! As soon as I put him down, sometimes it takes about 20-30 mins until he wakes up. And won’t sleep through the night .. sometimes yes, but for the most part no.
I am a first time mom, and I am breastfeeding as well. My son will nurse around 7 or 8 at night and will wake up around 3 or 4 to eat again. That’s a long stretch, but my milk supply hasn’t changed. I nurse him as I always would during the day and that keeps my milk supply up. I hope this helps if you didn’t want to stop nursing!! 💙
My son was the same as Jackson in terms of overnight sleep. He'd sometimes have a longer stretch but would otherwise wake every 2 hours and I'd nurse him back to sleep. Once he was established on solids, I weaned him off the night feeds and he started sleeping through. Hopefully you will see a big improvement when you do the sleep training xx
check out the zipadeezip sleep sack! it’s okay for rolling babies, as they can still push up if they roll & my babe has done great since we swapped! good luck mama
Thank you for sharing! I can’t believe he is already six months!
Hi Kayla, I watched almost all ur videos. My baby girl is 7 days younger than Jackson. We recently pumped and gave her a bottle with a little organic rice cereal before bed instead of breastfeeding and it as been a game changer. She can sleep from 9pm - 5am, she use to get up every 2 hrs to be breast feed.
He is getting so big already! I stumbled upon your channel when my youngest was 3 months ( now 9 months) so it is so cool to see his development!
I feel you girl and worst thing is that people think that I am not doing the right thing but my son is like your baby and is difficult I totally understand you
I have found feeding 3 times a day was what got us to a full night of sleep. And protein helps, we were told at six months he could have jarred meat or pureed meat (we puree). We do mostly purees, some baby led weaning, he's not loving the food that way, but he will do some self feeding with the Olababy spoon--i put the food on there and he takes it and puts it in his mouth. Just some ideas, I just found three meals of solids was what we needed to get a full night's sleep.
Maybe try the bedtime routine alittle earlier? I started putting my 8 month old daughter to bed at 630 pm and she'd sleep 12 hours or so depending on teething etc. It's rough Mama 😔 hang in there! I know the feeling of bad anxiety, my husband works from 430am to usually 8pm daily so it's just me and her👶
What a cutie!! FYI, you don’t have to switch to formula if you don’t want to - almost all breastfeeding parents who have an established milk supply will make whatever amount their baby needs even when solids are introduced and it is flexible - for example, some nursing moms go back to work and only nurse once a day during the week, and then all day on weekends. Any amount of formula you give, your body will make that amount less of milk. Our bodies are so cool if we trust them!
i love your videos and tiktoks kayla jax and riley are so cute!!❤️
Most awaited video 🤩🤩 Happy 6 months to little Jackson 🥳🥳 Just love your videos and your family 🥰🥰 All the best wishes to you ❤❤
Both Railey and Jackson are so cute... Thank you for the video totally relatable..
Girl our babies are the same! My daughter Ryann is a few days younger than Jackson and her sleep is HORRIBLE. I’m dying over here 😭😂❤️ I have to nurse her all night it’s so hard
Yep, my boy is attached to my breast all night long so he would sleep through.
I love watching your videos. I am also trying to sleep train my 6 month old and it is tough and part of me is not ready for her to sleep away from me. 💕
I think the reason he wakes up so frequently is bc he’s in your room and smells the milk. Try in his own room and i don’t think ur milk supply will drop either. I fed both mine till almost 2 and they have been in their own room from 4 months on
Hi! i've been a big fan of your videos for awhile, you could try the zipideezip its a transitional sleep sack that doesn't restrict movement much... they can safely flip over and back in it... because they are able to use their arms and still push up... my son started wearing it when he was 5months and he still sleeps in a zipideezip now at 19months. I hope jacksons sleep improves :)
Totally random, but where’s your comforter/quilt from? ❤️❤️❤️ also, Jackson is so precious. I’ve loved seeing how much he has grown
Our sons are the same age and what a relief to hear u are having some of the same nursing troubles. Sometimes I worry I’m not producing enough milk.
It’s crazy how different babies are. Mine will turn three months next week but he was 15 lbs 7 oz after two months and is in 6-6/9 month clothes. Happy Jackson is doing well! I hope I can get mine to like tummy time too but I’ve heard it’s uncomfortable when they have reflux
Yay it's Kayla and babies 😍😍
Love your videos Kayla! 💕 especially because my baby boy and Jackson are around the same age!! My baby is 6 months old today🥰
Hello Kayla. Thank you for making this and sleep training video. That made me feel that I m not alone in this crazy schedule of my 6month old son. I'm really scared to sleep train him. Any heads up from you before I start that process?
I was very nervous to try meat when my baby was 6 months. Gerber makes little pureed chicken, ham, and beef. You could also introduce that once a week.
I have the Newton baby mattress and love it!
So glad to hear that! I really hope Jackson likes it!!
Love watching your videos because my son was born December 12 so I like seeing how the milestones are so similar lol 💙 I’m also breastfeeding and not sure when I’m gonna stop just going with the flow really lol
May be jackson is teething.....mine is 9months now...but she had 2 teeth growing around 6 months. Nursing gave her some comfort i guess so she continued breastfeeding all the time. She was super cranky then and super cranky now as she is getting her upper tooth. Hoping this fussy phase ends soon❤
Such adorable kids!
For tummy time , my baby hates it but when she is over me , she would better ☺️☺️☺️
Look into the dreamland co weighted sleep sack!
Kayla, Have you tried a Sleep Sack? Like the Halo one? It’s different than their swaddle and safe once baby is on the move. It may help him feel cozier and sleep better.
The halo looks nice! I was gonna use it for my baby but my mom got me a deedee for Christmas and I love it.
I have one at home that I’m gunna try in a few days once we’re back - it’s from nested bean that I had from when Riley was little. They never helped Riley but I’m gunna see if they’ll help this guy ❤️
Kayla Buell Awesome! Our little guy became very attached to his we used both Halo and Burts Bees version. He is now just two and we got him a toddler version with feet. It’s nice that if he kicks off his blankets he stays warm. Good luck!
I love your videos ! My son is exactly 1 month younger then Jackson. The baby bullet is great ! I make my sons homemade oatmeal cereal and purées with it !
Jackson is growing so big and has so
Many differnt thing
Thanks for the detailed information 😊really appreciate 💐💐
I loved this!! Thank you ❤️
So glad to watch your videos. Thank u so much! what are the probiotic & vitamins you are using for him? thank u
Love these updates
So glad! Thanks for watching!
I love your videos. Jackson is so handsome 😊😊
Hey Kayla! I have seen your most recent videos but I went back to ask when did Jackson start standing?! My dr said at 6 month. But my little princess hasn’t started standing yet. Lol. Thank you:) love you!!
Nice update! Could you please explain how do you film, edit, how did you learn it? It would be nice :)
I am curious to see how the baby led weaning will work out for Jackson. I give my boy puree' s but he doesn't like all of them. I am also afraid of choking. Best wishes to you and your family.
I have a mattress for my pack and play I got it from toys are us/babies are us it was around $20.. maybe the pack and play is not comfortable for him
Awwwwww
Mine is 5 mnths old...sleep? I do t know what that is i wonder if my baby will ever sleep at least 5 to 6 hrs straight ...its hard.btw love how dedicated mum u are.and i love ur channel.i like when u post Jacksons videos because i have learned a lot from u😊
Hi love your channel!! Can you do a video about breastfeeding or pumping how you get your supply up. First time exclusive pumping and find it so hard. Thanks☺️
Hahaha the nipple bittin question ..i think is me .. i wrote it when Liana just pinched me with her gum... or maybe not.. cant wait to watch the postpartum video
im only 13 but i love your videos
Whats the name of the probiotics n vitamin that Jackson takes daily? I have a 2 months old son too so maybe planning to give him. Did his pediatrician recommended him those probiotics n vitamins? Cause my sons pediatrician didn’t give Him anything except vitamin D.
His vitamin is the enfamil trivisol and probiotic is align baby colic relief drops - both have been working really well for him and yes his doctor recommended both
Oh wow my 4 month old is 15.6 lbs and 26in!! That’s crazy lol 😂 I have a giant lol😓
Any day now Jackson will get the concept of forward movement down and then you are in big trouble. LOL. Look at those he-man arms and legs. He'll be visiting neighboring counties, if you don't watch him carefully. His weight and length sound just fine. He needs to get to the point in the next 3 months or so of sleeping full sleep cycles for the sake of his own development. He will not be eating alone for BLW, so he is not going to choke if you give him small pieces he can hold, see, smell, and chomp into. Remember the gag reflex and tongue thrusts are not related to choking or to not liking the food. Tongue thrusts are like when they do that as infants to show they are hungry, but he will now be playing with the food in his mouth trying to figure out what to do with it. Remember he never ate before, so they use their tongues where the strong muscle is and the taste buds to figure out what's going on and what they are now to do with this stuff. The gag reflex for a baby is more forward in the mouth and so it is used more frequently when they are investigating foods in their mouths because they check out the amount and texture and flavor. Choking is different from that and quite clear when it's occurring. There is no mistaking it. If they do not like the food or have had enough they will spit it (not dribble it out, like when there's too much) a good distance in disdain or he will shut his mouth tight or he will get extremely distracted by something and try to ignore you and the spoon or fork or pieces on his highchair tray. As much as possible, try to keep meals family eating together time and not full of entertainments because the day is coming fast when you will be desperate to have family meals where you all interact and then are ready for whatever the next obligation is: school, work, church, sports, scouts. It is not good to rush meals, but it is a bad idea to drag them out with TV, visitors, phone calls, whatever interrupts a healthy half hour to hour of family time. But you need them to eat and then be done with the meal because their lives will become way busier than yours and you are their chauffeur and social secretary who will be criticized for not keeping them punctual and disrupting other people's activities. I can see he is learning about gravity. They drop everything for ages to be sure it still drops. LOL
How are the books going considering getting them? Thank you for your honesty!!
The baby led weaning one (blue front cover) was amazing. Super easy to understand and have me a lot of info and ideas. Highly recommend it.
@@KaylaBuell thank you
Hey mama ..... is was wondering what you did with old clothes of jackson?
I need help I live in a studio apartment I really can’t do the Ferber method . My 6 month old naps in crib but we co sleep together and he wakes up 2-4 hours to breastfeed and does not like to unlatch! Is he really hungry or bad habit? 🤔
Hello what is the brand of your pack and play ? 😁. Thank you
The one I showed is ingenuity I’m pretty sure ❤️
Jacksons 6 month old now. I Cant Believe it how big is that.
Right?! Time is flying!!
Yes
Omg
Both of ur little people are so adorable...my boys were huge at birth both over 9lbs one was 23" one was 24" and they wouldn't even give me a tylenol during birth 😱
Hi I m form India. I like u r videos and 2 baby's. Sorry my English little bit mistake sorry ☺️👍
Are you still pumping? If so, how’s it going? :)
Nope! No more pumping. I haven’t had to in a long time! One less thing to do 😅
Hey girl! i watch your channel all the time and i think your little ones are so stinking cute! i just started my own youtube channel as a mommy vlogger/cleaning motivator. If you happen to read my comment i would love to do some sort of collab with you. let me know what you think :)
Just curious but as a person of faith, does it concern you at all that vaccines contain the DNA of aborted fetuses? Doesn’t that go against everything Christ stands for? Not trying to be rude, I am genuinely curious.
