The first weeks you bring a baby home, no matter how prepared or ready you are, it flips things upside down a little. As a new mom, nights bleed into days as they figure out sleeping outside the womb, you suddenly lose hours of your life to feeding, and, not to mention if you’re the mom and you carried the baby, you’re also dealing with postpartum recovery ontop of all of that.
Overall, I’ve found this newborn phase a lot easier my second time around. I have some little tricks and tips up my sleeve that has made it a ton easier on me. I want to share some of those tips with you in hopes to help the newborn phase not only be survivable for you, but truly enjoyable.

“You were chosen to be this baby’s mom” love that so much!

@aeb8895 3 года назад

Thank you SO MUCH for your inclusive language! I’m an adoptive mom awaiting my first baby so your language at the beginning means a lot to me. It’s hard to feel included when you’re not the mom who births the baby. 💕

@ElisabetTX 3 года назад

This was really nice to hear.

@dorkaballa-johnson1214 3 года назад

So excited for you! You are definitely included and your experience will be beautiful and valid!

Hi I’m a dad with a newborn baby and I absolutely love my little baby, I just honestly get scared holding her because she feels so light and sometimes I overthink scaring myself and watching your child holding your baby on that one part just made me feel so happy and made me realize like even a child can hold a baby and I just gained strength and hope from watching this video and I just want to thank you for doing what you do.

@user-oz6ub8fu2x 5 месяцев назад

Something that helped me is living a super minimal lifestyle BEFORE baby arrived, so caring and managing our stuff was so so much less overwhelming

@justforfun1093 3 года назад

7 months pregnant and first time mom here and when you talked about things being temporary and only getting small window of time for snuggles you definitely got me teary 😂😂😂 oh goodness! Got to LOVE those hormones

@pool8party 3 года назад

I got teary when she said "you were chosen to be this baby's mom." (I am 23 weeks) Oh right, I need to remember to give myself grace as a first time mom. You are going to be learning as baby is learning. Good luck to you and your baby.

@MissxKimboslicex 3 года назад

Also completely ok to do absolutely nothing during that free time! 😊

@erin7626 3 года назад

Yes! It is great to get things done, but sitting and relaxing is good too.

@Maiju86 3 года назад

Yes!! 👏👏👏

@kaylataylor517 3 года назад

Like napping!!

@alanad5577 3 года назад

Great tips! I am 32 weeks pregnant with my third baby and can agree with all of these. I'm currently in nesting mode and I honestly think that nesting is a way to get everything done so that you can just enjoy your baby when he or she comes 😊

@marencain6055 3 года назад

These tips are also extremely valuable for moms with PPD. The newborn phase can be really rough when you are dealing with it.

@brindmusicnerd 3 года назад

@aprilbirdww 3 года назад

“Value your worth by your productivity” this concept with motherhood, yes. Nailed it. I heard that loud and clear and can resonate with that statement so much. I have a 20 month old and a 7 week old. Sometimes I just want the counter to be cleaned off to feel human.

@marencain6055 3 года назад

As a mom of 2 under 2 I can say that all of this is 100% true!! If you're expecting, look no further than this video for setting you up for success! The second child really does put things into perspective more. I didn't cry when I met my first, but I did with me second because I was so grateful for another chance at the newborn phase since it so fleeting!❤

@bitsyboo73 3 года назад

Congrats. she is beautiful baby!!! I will be sending this to my niece....she had her 1st baby this morning!

@HanBang 3 года назад

I love that you disclosed how long it took between the start of the recording this video so now you’re holding your eight week old. Set a realistic expectation on what goes behind the scenes

@aggiewitsend7206 3 года назад

New baby time is just... Wonderful/a clusterF. I love that you say "lower your standards." It really is the only way to keep your sanity.

@BelLa-if2bg 3 года назад

The first 3 months were hard for me. I was recovering from a difficult birth and a 3 day labor. I recommend a Boppy if you are breastfeeding. Its a life-saver!

@jackyfeliciano8154 3 года назад

Affirmations and mantras are very underrated. Anyone and everyone should use them, and they really help you reframe whatever situation you might be encountering.

@karen2829 3 года назад

I am just about to turn 36 weeks and a first time mom, this video is so helpful and for this overachiever, I needed to hear this advice.

@AllTheButtons87 3 года назад

As a mom of two, this is all great advice! I am done having kids, but I watched anyway to see the littles mainly. They are so cute!!!

@r.d.durfey5862 3 года назад

Calm down cobwebs, dust bunnies go to sleep, I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep. 😊

@Maiju86 3 года назад

Daily mopping? 😳 I didn't do that when I didn't have any kids. I wish I saw this video before having my first child, totally agree with everything! 👏

@doyourememberanna 3 года назад

THANK YOU KALLIE. I’m 40 weeks and 5 days with my second (my older son was born just slightly before Miles) so this is an actual God-send. 🤍🤍

@brywalker7199 3 года назад

Currently feeding baby number 2 who is 2weeks old. I needed this lol

@micheledryden1057 3 года назад

She's a sweetie! These are great tips that can be applied in many situations. When you're experiencing chronic pain; broken bones; recovery from surgery; taking care of someone; working through grief; limited mobility, etc.

@vee6976 3 года назад

Hi Callie, it’s your fellow CT subscriber here! This video was extremely helpful, I’m currently pregnant with my first and I’m an aunt 10x. I practically raised them, but it’s never the same like having your own. As much as I do feel prepared, I’m definitely lowering my standards, and trying educating myself to prevent Postpartum anxiety or depression as much as I possibly can. It would definitely be much appreciated if you have other newborn/postpartum videos that are being planned. Thanks a ton for this one!

@lizZLupin 3 года назад

Aww.....that baby girl is just staring at her mama at the end of the video!! I am about to have my 2nd baby (1st daughter) any day now! ❤

@ChickNGuitars 3 года назад

I love that you call it a "brain dump". I coined the phrase "brain vomit" back in the 7th grade when I started writing down any thought that came to my head when I was bored. Now in adulthood it is a very productive way to make those fleeting anxieties about things that need to get done a tangible list that I can prioritize.

@britzel71 3 года назад

Such a fantastic video for new mommy's or mommy's on #2 etc. With all social media now there's a lot of focus showing the 'Perfect Mommy and Perfect Children ' and Perfectly decorated/ cleaned and organized homes making some feel unworthy or a failure to their family. I love how you use common sense and reality in your videos. My daughter just had her 2nd child and is in the throws of it with a toddler now so I sent this to her. I subbed to you for your motivation video and to share with my daughter to give her sound advice that's not just coming from 'Mom' but a peer. You're really doing a great job and helping many people 👏

@emilieshoquist302 3 года назад

Newly pregnant with baby number two and cried through most of this video. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Lol. Hormoooones! Great tips. Thanks for all of your content!

@rosemarydoran9907 3 года назад

Congratulations! She is beautiful! I hope Miles is enjoying his new role of "big brother"!

@countrygirlmeetscity 3 года назад

I love all your tips and tricks. But I am so glad you said to ultimately trust your instincts. When I was pregnant with my son, I read all the books and some of them actually freaked me out so I finally put them down and decided that I would trust my instincts that we all have and I was able to relax and just focus on being the best mom I could. Now he is 13 and turning out to be a great kid. I also loved your tip of keeping a list of items you actually need help with so when people do offer you know what you need help with. Love you channel and babies are adorable

@iraleebarnett4760 3 года назад

There are so many gems in here! Wonderful words to remember. I don’t have babies anymore but these tips still apply. Especially the temporary mindset.

@ms.krueger2660 3 года назад

I miss having babies. Yes, time flies!! I can’t believe my babies are grown men (31, 28 and 20). Enjoy every single moment. 💜❤️💚. Don’t worry about your home. Concentrate on you and your baby. 🦋🌸. Things will eventually go back to normal!! 🌺. I wish I had had all this advice with my first. I was so worried about everything that I did not really enjoy being a new Mom. The second one was easier. 🤗

@kristenaijala8925 3 года назад

That was wonderful. You are glowing and that made my morning. Motherhood and babyhood are so special. Enjoy!

@cathyjackson8021 3 года назад

Congratulations and thank you so much for this video. I’ve shared it with my son and daughter in law. They are new parents as of 2 days ago. It is a very emotional and overwhelming time. Thank you!

@kimbershark Год назад

I have a 17yo and a 10 week old. So thank you so much for this! ❤ I needed this.

@christinakavanagh3912 3 года назад

I have 5 kids and think these are spot on. You are a very intelligent woman. Congratulations!! She is beautiful!

@suzy1676 2 года назад

Awesome! Wish this video was around when my children were that age! Good job 👏 👍 👌

@stefaniestaniak4329 3 года назад

What a beautiful baby. I really don’t need any baby tips but I wanted to watch your video just to see you and your new baby. The one point you made was so true, every moment you have with your baby is temporary so enjoy while you can. I carried my baby’s and snuggled with them every chance I had. There is no such thing as a spoiled baby, only a well loved one. I know you’ll enjoy every moment. You have a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing.

@pjl2963 3 года назад

Baby Finley at 10:00...absolutely heart melting. I'm a grandma now, but wish I had seen this video all those years ago! So much information and help; so well rounded...fantastic job!

@lauratroxel6072 3 года назад

I love brain dumps! I have so many ideas and to-dos in my head, I do a brain dump just so I don’t worry about forgetting anything! It’s nice to look back at all I’ve done and crossed out and what things I have in my head that really don’t need to be done and I can just throw them out. Another great video!

@DaniOchannel 3 года назад

If you have an old mobile phone, you can download a white noise app on it too. It's much more slim line/portable and also "grows" with bub. The baby can play with the torch and camera function once they are older. Xx

@rebekahking7283 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! FTM currently with a 6 week old. Some days are great, others aren’t so great. This video is super helpful! ❤️

@vickiet4500 3 года назад

I wish I had this info 40 years ago when I had my first child and 13 months after my first child came my second child...Such valuable information, advice, and wisdom from someone so young!🥰

@rosemariealvarado9902 3 года назад

This is incredibly helpful for me as I care for my dear husband who is nearly as dependent on me as a newborn. Thank you!!

@scribbleyoursaga5087 3 года назад

Everything you say is soooo true. I’m a first time mon with a 9 week old. Go JANUARY babies! Lol. I totally related to the bit about anxiety of sitting while baby is napping on you. Always have to tell myself to take a breath and remember to enjoy the moment because too soon she’ll be bigger and not want to snuggle as much.
