I don't know if I'm too laid back... But I was never over worried about germs and people holding my son. He is now 9 months old Hamdoulillah ... I am never really fussy about him being around germs... I do as much as I feel necessary and he has never been sick hamdoulillah... In my opinion, if you don't expose your baby to any germs they will never build up a good immune system to fight the germs. I know a lot of people will think my methods are crazy... But so far they have worked well. I would suggest not being TOO worried about germs. They might help her to not be sick when she is eventually exposed to germs. Congratulations to your new beautiful family. Hanna is Beautiful just like her parents Masha'Allah xxx
I have the same thoughts but then again when I become a mom I'm quite sure I'll suddenly change thinking and not want any germs around them because I'm a germaphobe myself. but I know scientifically it won't be good because it would totally not build their immune system. 😦
Very true ... Once you become a mum all of your thoughts change :) but I would just be a little more cautious than you would be with yourself ... They only thing I do with my son that I don't do for myself is sterilizing his bottles and using pre boiled water ... Everything else I don't fuss about too much to be honest ... Probably because I'm quite a lazy person haha :D
Dina! When my baby brother was born we were very cautious about germs and others holding her as well, the pedestrian recommended we keep hand sanitizer with us to give the guests and simply told them it was to avoid the baby from getting "sick" and such. No one took offence to it, so maybe that would work for you? Congratulations btw! ❤️❤️❤️💖
some bacteria and germs are good fr the baby as they help to build up their defence system. i know people who were too over the top and literally sanitized everything and now their kids have all sorts of illnesses. of course if somebody is ill keep your child away from them at such a young age but once they are at a crawling age let them crawl on the floor. goodnluck and u both will make great parents!
For real though, I have no idea how parents do it. Like, you pop out a baby and how do you know what to do?? How does one parent? How do you know what you're doing? Honestly, mothers, fathers and everything in between who raise children need all the recognition. Superheroes. You look wonderful girl.
I understand being a new parent that you're sort of overprotective and don't want your baby to get sick but actually it's good for the baby to be exposed to some germs because it helps build their immune systems so don't be toooo worried about germs because some are good for the baby if that makes sense.
Not to be rude, but that's a misconception:) I'm a peds nurse and have a little one, at this age exposure to germs can be very detrimental. We recommend babies under age 3 months who even get the sniffles to be taken to the emergency. It's cold and influenza season so you need to be careful, newborns have some innate immunity from breast milk but they are definitely more vulnerable then other populations
+Flowercrown Louis omg heyyyyyy i always find you!! Omfg the idea at the end is amazing... i wanna do that too urgh if only i was hana.. waiting till 16
Salaam and congrats 💜 my youngest was born in the colder months and also hated getting his nappy changed so we used to dip his wipes in warm water before wiping him, and it really helped alhamdulillah. Also you shouldn't stress too much about germs as babies need to build up their immune system. Allah make it easy for your both, it's such a huge change, I remember when I had my first, I thought that it was the end of my life and I would never sleep through the night again. After the first 6 months it gets much easier and more enjoyable mashaAllah 😊
Safiya Ahmed I wasn't trying to be passive aggressive, I was just stating what I thought, I never said they would be bad parents - I think they would be such cool parents actually :)
This is so incredible!! I'm so happy to have seen you grow over the years, it's been such a journey! I can't believe we are seeing your baby now!!! Mashallah Mashallahx1000000000
crazy how i remember being in high school and cracking up to dina's early vids like "shit hijabis say" and now im stressing over uni and watching dina become a mummy... me and my mate say we "grew up with dina", love seeing you happy :) all the best x
dina! congrats again =) you and sid are doing a great job. don't worry the no sleep phase goes by really quick and you'll get much better at it! try to go out for those walks often, it'll keep you sane lol. you look beautiful mashallah! and enjoy every second, even the poop explosions and crying nights haha. they go by soo fast. my son is almost 3 and i miss the teeny tiny days. loved the vlog, can't wait for more!
I love how you're really protective with Hanna with not showing her face on camera and on social media. I would have thought you wouldn't mind in showing your daughter on the internet because of the fact that your a blogger and you've shown most of your family members on the internet, but it's nice to see the mothery side of you for the first time ☺️😌
Alf alf mabrouk Dina on your little girl! Allahuma barik! Congratulations to you both, may Allah protect your little family and make Hana a righteous believer, ameen!
welcome back its been a minute but totally understandable. you are doing really well. I too couldn't sleep when my baby slept regardless of whether there was stuff to do or not. i just couldnt switch off to sleep mode. you will adjust to do with little or no sleep. make sure everyone washes their hands before touching baby. also they remove their coats and jackets before holding baby. plus baby should always be held in their shawl or blankets. if they want to rest Hannah on their shoulder put a blanket on their shoulder first. it may be annoying for some people but do what's in the best intetest of you and baby coz when baby gets sick it will be you doing everything you can to make her better. have you tried baby olbas oil or she might be too young not sure. thanks for sharing and I absolutely love the idea of setting up an email account for Hannah
Aw huge congrats! So cute and tiny! Hope she's okay, it is so hard to do everything with a new baby. My boys were both jetlagged in the first early weeks and up all night too xx
Yay dina! A vlog! Soo happy you've been vlogging for us. But dont worry about showing us hana banana, shes yours and really i dont mind not seeing her. And dont stress yourself about uploading and vlogging. We will always be here. X
Masha'Allah it is so beautiful to see you as a mother. Despite needing to adjust to this big change you and Sid are still managing to have a laugh - love it! Don't be so harsh on yourself regarding filming videos - a vlog after 1 week is amazing, you're so driven! I love your impromptu hijab styles hahahahaha. So random but I'm obsessed with your pjs, they are so lovely.
so beautiful 😍❤ MashAllah when i watched this just saw how our parents suffered because of us but kept on moving because they love us , may Allah reward you with the best of it and make hana the one that gets your foot to jannah 💕
Dina, I was so ecstatic when I saw that you had posted a video. You are so admirable and truly a gem to watch. I want to congratulate you and Sid on the birth of Hana. May Allah swt protect you and your family and give you plenty more happiness. InshaAllah.
Congrats on your little girl! I just had a baby three weeks ago too and he's our first born soooo I completely understand what you are going through and by the looks of it, it's normal! So many changes to get use to and prayers for more night time sleep! Thanks for sharing! May Allah bless your little girl with righteousness and maturity of years, Ameen.
I remember being a first time mum when I watched your clip it bought back so many memories. It's a bumpy ride but a beautiful journey seeing your bundle of joy progressing day by day.
Will we be getting a nursery room your? And also I was extremely excited when I saw this vlog! You seem so happy as a mama Mubarak Dina and Sid!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂😌
Seeing this in my subscription box literally made my day. Thank you so much! Can't wait to hear about the delivery! mA everything looks like it's going well :)
Aw the email thing is so cute, and i think that it is perfectly fine that you are protective over her; she is your first born! Also great to see you doing good alhamdulilah xx
My daughter is 9 months old. I have the Britax B Ready stroller. I love it. I can be used with a car seat, bassinet the, or toddler seat. And it can convert to hold 2 kids. You are doing a great job. Take it on day at a time and enjoy all those baby cuddles, they grow so fast!
I was just going through her snap story thinking, can't wait to see her vlog. Opened up RU-vid and there it was!!! Sooooo excited! Yay Dina and Hana!! ❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations; and it's so cute when you had her blanket and muslin to cover ur head it's like getting ur hands on anything u find, I can imagine how busy u have come since baby hanna. Best of luck x
Allah y3eenik habeebti💜 I think it's so sweet of you to keep us updated on your baby progress. it's so difficult being a new parent and VERY time consuming but I think you're doing great well done xx
This video made my day😍 whenever you talk about her being hungry and what not I feel like you're talking about the cats but then I remember you guys are parents now! mA congrats💖

So excited to see all your little family happy together, I was impatient to see how is your new mum life going! Congrats for Hana and looking forward to hearing from you! Greetings from France Dina!
Hdhbdjdbsubs I'm soooooooo happpyyyyyyy!!!!! Mashallah such a beautiful baby!!! I really want a baby now but I'm only 14 so I have like a whole decade to wait...
Haha same. I think I just want a young child in my family. I'm one of the youngest. I have no siblings and my cousins live in Scotland so I have no young children in my family now 😂 I really just want to be able to look after them and take them shopping and stuff 😂
You are the cutest new mom! I'm 28 and have three kids alhamdulilah and my youngest just turned 1 mA. You are doing great! Enjoy the madness. It won't last forever although at times it will feel like it will. Routines usually start around 4 months...I think lol see I already forget. So till then just enjoy. You're doing great. And yes being a first time mom the paranoia is quite crazy. Can't do much about besides make tons of dua. Lots of love from NY!!
I don't get why people keep asking this question. it's not that hard to think of why, cmon. it's very logical. and now that you've got answers, I hope ppl see them and would stop commenting asking why.
I had a baby girl not too long ago, I didn't cut her hair. The hair is like the rest of her body, one washed it's clean now, the hadeeth also pertains to boys mostly as per my sheikh
congratulations on the new baby. what a blessing. it will get soooo much easier. no worries. and don't feel bad about being crazy about germs. its the best! trust me, better than seeing the little one sick. god bless.
Thanks for the vlog ,been waiting sooo long for it ..inshallah things will get easy with the help of allah swt ,may allah give your family a blessed future x
Hey, Dina! When my baby brother was born we went out and bought a 'Britex B-Smart' pram for shopping trips. It was so helpful and you can buy a car seat to attach to it so you can take your daughter straight out of the car and onto the pram. My brother is now almost 2 years old and we thought about this when we bought the pram so there is also a bigger seat we bought to attach on in the same way as the car seat. BUY IT! It'll make your life so much easier! Amina :)
Alhamdullillah n welcome back! Thanks for sharing with the interwebZ & yes it's gg 2 be hard but we very much appreciate ur blogs Dina so pls dun stop!
So proud of u Dina u are doing so well masha-allah,my sister was exactly the same as you but things have got easier my niece is 7 months now masha-allah and most of the time she sleeps all night now and my sister gets a good nights rest, the bags under her eyes have finally gone too.
I have been waiting so long for a video from you I literally hyperventilated as soon as I saw a notification on my phone saying you uploaded a new video omg. And mashallah to your new baby, may God bless her and you both
Pram suggestion, Phil & Teds vibe inline stroller. It is AMAZING, easy to put together, heaps of different positions for baby to be in (even facing you while you push) and it folds up so compact for the car. Really recommend.
That excitement when I got a notif for a new video..n it was urs!! This video is soo cute ma she's growing well..wow she slept for tht long that's awesome..love to see more vlogs n good luck with the motherhood
Mashaa allaah, congrats on your baby girl. I just had to comment as soon as I heard 7 hours editing straight, we don't really think much about how much goes into your RU-vid channel subhanallah. The 1st three month with a newborn are the hardest Mashaa Allah though your lil girl is already a champ for sleeping through the night. I did'nt even know babies did that, I had to wake mine up every two hours for feeds in order for them to gain weight lol. Best of luck to you and your family.
