Rowan in the star wrap was like Maggie Simpson in her star snow suit, just the cutest lil bean!!

@tinnie75 Год назад

I had the same thought!

@theodoesthings Год назад

my exact thought!! so cute !!!!

@sarahrigby1341 Год назад

Fellow short mother here, it's comforting for me to see how big Rowan is compared to Hannah. My baby is at least half my size, which makes it so hard to hold him for long periods of time. Baby carriers are the best!

@emmaw6819 Год назад

Anyone else watching this even though you're child free and intend to stay that way ?!😂

@hannahk1306 Год назад

I think you hit the nail on the head about these things making parenting easier. You often see things from older parents with very grown up children saying things like, "we didn't need x, y, z when my kids were little" - of course you don't need them, but if they're helpful, then no need to make it harder. On the flipside, sometimes people feel pressured into needing to buy *everything*. Also, this is great example of showing off Rowan's cuteness, whilst protecting his privacy and overall putting him first.

@amtlcreates Год назад

For my two babies, the only thing I found was an essential was the sling. Neither of them wanted to sleep anywhere but on me and it definitely saved both my back and my sanity.

@firefly24601 Год назад

You mentioned Community being a lifeline. My child is only a couple months older then yours, so the usual time of meeting parents with similarly age children (pregnancy classes) didn't happen for us due to the pandemic. Watching you talk about the same experiences, problems, and milestones I am going through at almost the same exact time, has been MY lifeline. It's been interesting to see how similar we are in our parenting, and where we differ! And also to see that another person is going through the same trials and tribulations as I am. 💜

@mariannecotte6141 Год назад

As my family had to move across country a month before I gave birth, I feel the exact same way! The lack of community has been really hard, especially in the first few months but I could and still can find solace here, since Hannah is three months ahead of me. Thank you for all of parenting-centered videos!

@marthab1875 Год назад

The high chair (tripp trapp) is a Norwegian invention, a LOT of Norwegian families have it and honestly you can use it until Rowan is like 10, it’s excellent because the lower step functions as a foot rest while he’s too short to reach the floor. So that’s a solid investment😁

@SamarkandChan Год назад

As a fellow Norwegian I was going to say the same, and we even used ours into adulthood.

@45webstar Год назад

Not sure if mine (as a kid) was the same brand but I think a similar idea. Think I used it untill I was about 13!! As the foot rest came off as I got taller

@mimirobin Год назад

not a parent and not Norwegian but just here to say that in Germany a lot of families have them and I used mine like until I was 12 and my partner's parents somehow still have theirs standing around their flat and whenever we're there, my partner sits on it for dinner, partly as a joke, but it still works for a 25 Yr old fully grown person

@Nawarronn Год назад

My baby is no sitting in the TrippTrapp my parents bought for me. Perfectly fine still. Love them

@traumerin9136 Год назад

Same here in Switzerland 🇨🇭 my mum de-built mine and kept it in the cellar so I for sure will use it for potential future kids ☺️

@interstellarpieceofmeat Год назад

Unfortunately, I'm not a parent. Yet! I really want to have a family in the future, so I love watching baby-related videos and relationship-related videos. So thank you for existing, Hannah! ❤❤❤Your videos are very sweet and wholesome. Watching you gives me hope that I can have a happy family of my own one day 😊❤

@alyssia7239 Год назад

I had a chair similar to Rowan's and I used it as a desk chair and a bedside table until I was around 8 or 10 years old ^^ They are so good for growing up with the child !

@carinam.9447 Год назад

I haven't gotten to that part of the video, but my guess is it'll be a Tripp Trapp 😅

@pascaline2270 Год назад

I still have mine... It's in my own appartement now 😂 for me, not a baby (attachment issue I guess 🤷‍♀️)

@Sophie_Cleverly Год назад

A thing I'd love to recommend is the Milliard portable toddler bed. I got it when my daughter outgrew her travel cot and it's amazing! It comes with bedding and folds up like a suitcase, and it's a proper mat so it doesn't go down or go wobbly like an inflatable one. She still has tons of room in it at age 4 and it's so great whenever we need to stay anywhere. They seem a bit hard to get hold of in the UK at the moment but well worth it if you can find one

@SomeoneBeginingWithI Год назад

2:40 I wouldn't say you "blocked it out", it was probably the sleep deprivation. Sleep is really important for storing memories. If you're waking up constantly in the night, you're not getting as much deep sleep as you normally would, so you will store fewer memories.

@LauraWmcfly Год назад

My daughter is now 5 months old and currently exclusively breastfed, so I can’t speak for *real* poo 😛 but our reusable wipes come out fresh and white after washing them! Be BRAVE and give it a go! We keep the dirty wipes in an airtight container with some water and a few drops of tea tree oil in them to keep our house smelling fresh in between washes.

@prrari22 Год назад

Rowan looks so cute in the star wrap! Seeing that made my evening

@belorama8 Год назад

My son was born (it sounds like) within a week of your son and it has been kind of therapeutic having done the pregnancy and first year with your videos.

@gracelarmee 9 месяцев назад

I know you released this a few months ago so idk if you still look at the comments but every kid I babysit has that same nightlight. It's especially helpful when they're old enough to walk around and sometimes might take awhile to fall asleep at night but don't need someone to sit with them. The kids I babysit for use it if they're scared of the dark, to see enough to walk to the bathroom, to read a book, etc. I feel like that night light can definitely be used for years amd years

@marianneshepherd6286 Год назад

Aww, the star wrap is so cute! Kinda reminds me of Maggie Simpsons' snow onesie x x x

@morehannah Год назад

hahahahah yesss

@thenixtubes Год назад

Expecting and looking for tips. This was very helpful!

@KnittingJoy Год назад

We love the star snug wrap, too!

@paultravis3249 Год назад

Praying for you and Rowan. You're a great mom and it shows :)

@mch1811 Год назад

Toddler mum currently pregnant with baby #2 (!) and watching this as a refresher - it's only been two years since I was pregnant last but it feels like a lifetime ago. Thanks for this video! Excited to try the star wrap.

@SamWest96 Год назад

Those bibs are genius. Got to remember for when baby number 2 comes about

@annahynson1177 Год назад

Thank you for this! My friends have their first baby due in a couple of months so these were great gift ideas.

@shandallas2091 Год назад

im due in june after being told I couldn't have kids, and honestly all this content has been so fab!

@sophielc2437 Год назад

Definitely agree about the mamas and papas activity chair, that's been a lifesaver for us! My 10 month old still loves it now, thank god she hasn't worked out how to escape yet 😂

@katiemoss7578 Год назад

Your NCT friends may well end up being friends for life. My mum is still friends with friends she met at NCT when she was pregnant with my older brother who is 27.

@morehannah Год назад

my mum is still friends with her antenatal friends too and I'm still friends with their kids!!

@charmax88 Год назад

My NCT group stopped talking tob each other by 6 months. Just want to add another side because you only see positive stories about it and that totally wasn't my experience. I still feel quite rejected and my oldest is 4.5 years

@catpotter2607 Год назад

Love this! I asked about the high chair and for your essentials in the comments of your last video so this was perfect timing for me. 32 weeks pregnant and trying to get stuff ready. Thanks!

@maryloumccaslin4417 Год назад

Excited for this video! I'm due in October and followed a very similar TTC journey to you, just with about 8 more months of trying needed for us!

@tiniewien Год назад

My baby is 10 months now, close to Rowan in age. One of my current must haves have been baskets and baby Duplo to keep him occupied. He loves those. We also love merino woolen suits, they keep baby warm but are breathable. Perfect for in a carrier or when camping 😄 And something I would definitely definitely definitely use again for a next baby are our reusable nappies. We mostly use those by Little Lamb and love them.

@abigailmann8523 Год назад

I have a four month old and have to agree about the night lights! We have two and they’re lifesaversssss. I’d add the little haaka bogie sucker to the list - so weirdly satisfying to clear their lil nose 😅

@helenr21 Год назад

Oh my god the egg light! Bought it when my daughter was a newborn nearly 4 years ago and we still use it! Used it for her baby brother and its great for toddler wake ups when poorly.

@hcarey372 Год назад

My baby is a week older than Rowan (how are they nearly 1 😭?!). I recomend the carrier, playmat and small nappy bag to all my pregnant friends!! Our baby is quite small so the ergo was too big at first, we started with a baby bjorn mini which was so good.

@isag4999 Год назад

This is excellent timing: I will be giving birth to our first child mid-june and am still in my nesting phase ❤

@ceryswakeman1548 Год назад

I au paired for a family with similar high chairs and their 22mo old could climb into it independently and the 6 year old still used his too. So forwardly mobile, so helpful

@jaidepoppy Год назад

Our babies are a week apart and I would say I would say the same list of items! We love using the Baby Boosa bib jackets and also I would add tog sleepsuits! My baby hates sleep bags so the suits are great for babies that like to move around at night xx

@ashby7m 3 месяца назад

i am not a parent or expecting any time soon but i loved this video!

@Mariajustmary Год назад

I have lots of contact with my 1 yo sister, take care of her pretty often, so I feel qualified to say that the baby carrier is the best thing ever! The activity table thingy is also very helpful and even though my sister also grew out of it she still enjoys the activities very much. I am planning on making her a sensory box, I'm gonna see if it gets her attention for long.

@mlleEster Год назад

For a parent out there with a colic baby, I feel you essential we used on our very colic baby (cried day and night) Optibac drops expensive but helped baby and us so much they can be used from birth! And a good white noise machine (cheap one for Amazon would do!) and a wrap seriously helped our very very very colic baby

@vanessalaughtland4417 Год назад

Absolutely with you on the star wrap (we had two in purple and yellow!), and the Bibado bibs (although we favour the long-sleeved ones because our girl is usually in long-sleeves). I would say on top of those, my breastfeeding pillow (just a cheap Mamas and Papas one), my Ergobaby Embrace wrap/carrier hybrid, our Totter & Tumble play mat, our little moses basket with handles (possibly John Lewis), multi-tog sleep sacks, and our digital ear thermometer!

@diplomog Год назад

Thanks

@laurahughes4550 Год назад

I have a 3 month old and we are formula feeding. The nuby bottle cooler is amazing. Put the boiling made up formula in the bottle, shake it for 2 mins and it takes it down to exactly the right temperature you need. They are expensive but totally worth it!

@michellem8284 Год назад

Great video. Did you guys ever move?

@YvaineFra Год назад

I have your same laundry machine and I was trying to remember when did I started a load, but it was yours beeping in the background 😂

@TallRedCan Год назад

I’m not having kid any time soon, and I don’t have any, but just enjoyed the video 😊

@SamWest96 Год назад

My daughter's 2.5 now and 90% of the stuff we had I've got rid off aside from clothes and prams. I would get a different carried the second time round, I didn't love mine but it was a gift so I felt like I had to use it. I kept our play mat because it was very well loved and used. I'm so glad you've mentioned the first aid course. So so vital. My little girl choked the other day, full on blue. No one in the house (8 adults) knew what to do except me. Thank goodness I was there. We've now amended our childcare expectations - you must be qualified in first aid and be confident.

@HelenAllsop Год назад

Just remembered weren't you looking for a family size house? Has that gone on the back burner now?

@cheyenneysewijn7343 Год назад

We started to shower with our daughter around the age of 1. We have the same mat for grip, and she just plays on the mat in the shower while one of us showers with her

@oesterzwamsnack Год назад

omg at 10:55 your washing machine finished, or at least that's what i think it is because i fully got up and tried to see if my flatmate had put on some laundry in the earlier morning and then went to bed again hahahaha but no it was in the video

@katybechnikova2821 Год назад

12:47 It's the Ikea trolley!

@emomz Год назад

Reusable wipes are so much better for bums because they’re so thick. Much less gets on your hands! We got some for faces too and we’re still using them six years later, so that’s probably the thing with most longevity on the list.

@TottiShares Год назад

I'm just watching this as a subscriber, not a parent nor going to be any time soon. But I have friends and family who are starting to have babies so for me it's inspo for presents really. I think that would be an interesting video what you found useful behaviour or presents from your family and friends. And what is something people should avoid?

I loved babywearing but unfortunately my baby never took to the wrap and putting her in it gave me anxiety, and the regular carrier was killing my back, I coulDN’t for the life of me figure out the correct way of putting it on where it did not cause pain for my lower AND upper back 😭 watching you petite carrying rowan so big, I could never 😂

@salo81 Год назад

Hi Hannah, I'd really encourage you to try to babywear Rowan on your back in the carrier. I loved doing that with my three children. Its even more comfortable that in the front and you have your front free (for cooking for example) and the baby cannot reach it. Also they do see more at your back, if they are not sleepy thats a plus. It takes some bravery but once you've mastered it, you'll ask yourself why you have not done that earlier.

@morehannah Год назад

been intending to practice this since the beginning of the year but haven't gotten round to it yet! my mission this year though - you're right, will be so useful!

@salo81 Год назад

@@morehannah you can do it!

@helenstavri7590 Год назад

@@morehannahI was going to comment the same. Our local sling library did a session with us on it - would recommend that vs just watching a RU-vid video as I agree that it's daunting at the start! My youngest is a few days older than Rowan - I can back carry her so much longer/further than I comfortably could in a front carry. Now I'm off to Google star wraps... Thank you!
