my baby is just 2 months old, one thing I learned is to trust my husband and compliment him on how well he is with the baby, it boost his confident on taking care of the baby and he is better than me now.

@rachelrohde7549 4 года назад

Iris Li I’ve been trying to compliment my husband too, it helps me and it helps him 💕

This is a great suggestion. A complete game-changer.

I want to add something.. people are going to give you crap no matter what you do. Weather it’s the recommended way or your own style, just remember that YOU are the parent and don’t give in to whatever pressure people put you under.

@kiarathomas6860 5 лет назад

Was there ANY point in correcting me?

@vieve9292 5 лет назад

@@kiarathomas6860 Yes. The "weather" is the temperature outside, "whether" is a conjunction.

@kaitlinb361 5 лет назад

I would also add to this that you don’t need to explain to people why you are doing things they way you are. I feel like I’m always having to defend my choices to my mother in law. You don’t need to waste your breath on people that don’t really want to listen.

@Yummi_913 4 года назад

You can only say this up to a point. Some people actually don't know what they're doing and won't admit it, which only leads to child neglect or abuse. We can't keep acting like every parent knows what's best for their child because it's just not true. There are too many cases of infants dying due to terrible parents. Sure, being a snob is wrong and if someone's actually trying it is best to shut your mouth. But if you see something seriously wrong, speak up. Otherwise, you also take blame for that child becoming yet another tragedy.

Susan is a rare combination of beautiful and successful, while also being extremely relatable and non-judgmental. She has an incredible, welcoming, kind energy.

@TheNdpeterson1 5 лет назад

I have to say, this is gold. I immediately shared this to my best friend who just became a first time mom the other day. This is exactly the stuff I learned with my daughter that I applied with my son. Especially the social life thing. Most of the time the first year, you just stay in your house and stick to your baby’s schedule because an overtired baby is a pissed off, not sleeping well baby. A year or two is a year or two. You have their whole lives to do all of this stuff, I totally believe in just giving them a schedule and sticking to it! Oh and my son was the same way, just kick kick kick at random times, he is a great sleeper, don’t worry!!!

@lilpie7474 3 года назад

Very true, my husband got upset with me for telling him how to hold the baby and stuff, UH?!😳 imagine that! Men can be sensitive about these things so be gentle it’s true let them figure things out.

@itscool770 4 года назад

You posted this on the day my little boy was born! I have to say that I was really good at letting my husband figure things out pretty early on. Now 7 weeks in and he is essential to my sanity. I’ll pump at night and he will care for our baby for 6 hours straight through at night so that I can rest without disturbance. If we let our partners be a part of it they can really step up and show us they ARE capable. ❤️

@kangaroomommy4457 5 лет назад

I had a baby with reflux and I also had a very complicated C-section that got infected. Having all the baby clothes washed and ready to go, especially when my kid was going through 10 to 12 outfits a day, was a lifesaver for me. It was hard enough for me to walk back and forth to the nursery to change the baby's clothes, I can't imagine having to do laundry also.

@maryanakurti 3 года назад

Why so many outfit changes

@KawaiiNeko84 5 лет назад

Great video. As a FTM I almost drove myself crazy trying to do everything by the book. I spent soo much time googling only to find 6 different answers to 1 question. It became much better when I finally just did what worked best for us and stopped trying to follow the "rules". I wish all FTM are told this and have it repeated often. Do what works best for you and your family!

@user-ep8zd1dr7q 4 года назад

For me the hardest part was the lack of sleep during the first month. My baby is pretty chill and was sleeping well, however I was not. I had terrible anxiety and I would just lay awake and worry about everything that could go wrong while he was sleeping. It was really bad and literally helpless. But like everything else it passes and I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that.

@snowfoxxie 3 года назад

Good advice! As someone with anxiety and not being able to sleep sometimes I can see this totally being me 😂

@mercyrose4237 5 лет назад

I agree with you 100%.. Being a first time mom is a journey with lots of hardships and also many overwhelming moments.. Being prepared for everything is the key sometimes..

@ElinaG85 5 лет назад

You are completely right about the social life never being the same! And we did the same about judging other parents before being parents ourselves! Our Friday nights are now spent putting our son to bed at 8pm and watching tv on the couch. We try to do what we can when we can. Also you are so right about trying to be by the book in the beginning. As a new time parent I was so anxious all the time about getting everything right so I wouldn’t mess up my baby for the future and I ended realizing I got to follow his lead and take things day by day and try to take some pressure off myself. Everything ends up working out in the end. ❤️

@evelin300 5 лет назад

You speek from the bottom of my heart!!! You are so right i completely agree with you! Thank u for this video

@rachelrohde7549 4 года назад

You saved me with your comment about letting go!! I thought it was only me! You’ve eased my mind and for that I adore you. I used to get angry that he’d sleep through her crying and seemingly didnt calm her like I did. It’s such a hard lesson to swallow as a mother and a woman. Thanks for this honesty 😌❤️

@sabrinag3357 5 лет назад

With my husband and I, it was the opposite. He was the one giving me anxiety. It drove me crazy whenever he would stand over me like a drill sergeant while I changed our son’s diaper or fix his hair, etc. I became very resentful towards him. And I definitely agree with the social life part too. Once I started saying no to invites, life became easier for me. Schedules are a must with my son.

@luluaramburo5344 5 лет назад

100% agree, I just want to add for the New moms... you are the mom, it’s your body, it’s your baby, you are the one dealing with a new life 24/7, if you hava a vaginal delivery, csection, breast feed, formula... Gosh you are doing great 👍🏻 Don’t listen to the ones that “know everything” or it was better this or that way... your baby and your husband need a happy and stress free Mom! It took me 2 weeks PP to stop listening and those 2 weeks were hard... now 17 weeks pregnant of baby #2 😍 and Love all your videos Susan!!

@tanyathompson3406 4 года назад

This is hands down the best advice yet....🙌🏼

@MimiShao 4 года назад

I loved this video! I have a 17 month old and am 18 weeks pregnant with our 2nd. You reminded me of everything I worried about the first time around that I now look back on proud that I made it through. I’m nervous and excited for round 2! And everything you said really resonated with me as a first time, soon to be 2nd time, mom. 💗

@carolinafernandez9907 5 лет назад

excellent video and insight! My (first) baby is 7 months old and I totally agree with these...I still feel like I don't sleep at night thinking about my baby

@VioletRaya 4 года назад

I will be a second time mom in a couple weeks! I wish someone told me all of this during my first pregnancy. And I wish I would have been more open to other mom’s SOUND advice. I can say the way I handled my first baby was completely unorganized and needless to say unstructured and messy. I had no direction. But I also realize how much more humble I am for pointers this second time around.. This is truly gold. And I will be using these tips. Thankyou

@amber8181 5 лет назад

@way108 5 лет назад

#7 that was exactly me with my first kid!!!! I was literally hovering over my goodness! I have let go more with the second kid and my husband seems to spend more time chillin with the baby. Definitely the anxiety levels have reduced. #7 is so important to be aware.

@theylovedagirl 5 лет назад

I’m currently 31 weeks and single. And I’m freaking out. This video helped a lot. Thank you.

@kaitlinb361 5 лет назад

aguadalupedo you will be a great mom! I watched lots of videos while I was pregnant too. Being a mom is hard but it will also be the best thing that ever happened to you. And remember it’s ok not to love every second of it. There is lots of ups and downs just like regular life.

@aa-fw2pw 4 года назад

@jacquelinemartinez470 5 лет назад

As a first time mom, this was absolutely EXACTLY what I needed to watch right now. I found myself hovering over my husband, I finally learned to let it go and let him have his thing. Also breastfeeding! Just know it’s now as easy some people make it seem but don’t feel pressured either to feel like that’s how you have to feed your baby. I remember when we seen a lactation nurse she recommended to pump Atleast 8 times a day on top of nursing! Your sanity and health is very important. I put so much pressure on myself to do both I was not getting proper sleep.

@mayadahmaher2754 4 года назад

@Taylorocsh 4 года назад

The warmth thing! My ped said just to add one layer more than you'd wear. I see so many babies in the middle of summer in long sleeves with a heavy blanket and I just cringe. Also, for my child she was a little heater (still is). And I learned that she always felt warm no matter what but that her back near her neck was the perfect spot to reeeeally understand if she was too hot or too cold. Her hands were always freezing, her belly always super warm but her neck was a perfect indication.

@nicoleee1980 5 лет назад

I soooo agree about taking tags off clothing. Everyone thought because me and my husband are so tall, our baby was going to be big and long. Everyone told me to stock up on 3 mos size instead of newborn. She ended up being tiny when she was born, she stayed in NB size for a long time! And we ended up having to run out the week we brought her home to buy her more NB size PJs/sleep and plays. Luckily she also was in 3M for quite some time too. Overall, Great tips Susan! I agree 100% with everything you said because i had the same experiences. All new Moms need to see this video.

@lulu243 5 лет назад

Great advice!! And all so true.

@lisaalessandro9177 5 лет назад

Yup. My husband and I argued most about me not letting him figure out how to be a parent without me micromanaging. I was also expecting to have a schedule for everything when my now 10 month old was born. He does not like a schedule, and that was tough thing to let go of.

@rachelparradelong 5 лет назад

I also think the weight of the baby at birth really helps and determines how well they will sleep. My little girl was 9lbs 8oz and was a good sleeper. I was so worried about not getting sleep but I would set alarms and wake her to feed her. So I really did not have a hard time with that even at the beginning which was a blessing. But I was talking with someone who have bigger babies as well and she said it was the same for her.. she said it’s to do with their digestive system being a little more mature and there stomach being bigger. I totally agree with you clothing statement , I will not take tags off with my second for sure !

@dezzzz9852 2 года назад

@jellybeanjess8017 4 года назад

my best friend has had a baby and im TTC, I can feel myself thinking 'I might do that differently' but I always just try to follow her lead with her baby, if we have lunch plans and I get there and things are abit much I will go out and get us lunch.... I bring dinner to her and just sit quietly and offer a wipe when shes having a mare of it all. I try so hard not to comment because I gather that's part of the fun..... figuring this all out and saying 'yes!!! we did it!!' I can imagine it wouldnt be the same when I have one, my friend will be my go to for every little thing to be sure I am trying everything to make our lives easier. I love this idea and cant wait till I can offer my tips.

@ireneortiz8285 5 лет назад

I JUST overcame my sons Cradle Cap. He will be 5 months old tomorrow and I was a little anti-olive/coconut oil but the olive oil is what helped the most! Our Ped. prescribed a medicated shampoo but I felt that just made it worse. Love this video! Totally relate to some if not most of your content. :)

@annak804 5 лет назад

Irene Ortiz I used a organic cradle cap balm worked great

@brittanybellmore385 4 года назад

Susan- you mention keeping tags on clothes and specific things you could buy or get from your shower that you won’t use, do you ask people to give receipts with everything you get to make returns easy? How do you go about that? It’s such a great point I never really thought of. I would rather return/exchange things I will use rather than getting things that will get no use and money going down the drain.
