Grand Dude tip: My girl puked after every feeding for over a year. I had to bring her to specialists to find out the problem. If you lay Everly on a slight incline, her food will stay in her stomach. The vomiting will stop quickly. Sometimes the stomach muscle does not close properly and liquid will backflow and the body kicks the fluid out so you will not drown. I wish I had known that early on.

You kids are doing great as 1st time parents. Sometimes when you know Everly has been fed, burped and changed but she's still fussing when you put her down you should try letting her learn how to self sooth which means she might cry for a little while before she falls back to sleep. Playing music or those noise machines also help. Glad Frank gets up to help Alex & do what he can. Everly's a lucky little girl to have such awesome parents! ❤️

This is definitely the hardest (mentally) part of having a child. Make sure you prioritize time for self care...even if its just a few minutes of silence, warm bath, or a quick b ball game. It will help so much during this time. 💜

I nursed my boys lying in bed so could cat nap a bit. My breasts were sore so didn’t let them on too long, then burp and back to the crib. Every day gets easier. You should sleep during the day when baby sleeps if you can. You are lucky to have a husband who helps. Your baby is a doll!

Wonderful video showing the realities of taking care of newborns. You guys are doing a fabulous job …like really good job! For the evening crying that my daughter had I found that putting her bouncer seat or you could use the car carrier on top of the dryer and turning it on with the lights out. seemed to work best for her when she had that stomach stuff. I think it helped because she was sitting up and could digest better. Of course 30 years ago, we were not fearful to have infants in bed with us and I do think we all slept better. However, once you start the family bed you’re in it till they’re almost 5! Because they rely on you for feeling safe. After three we had them sleep on cots in the same room with us so it was easier for us to sleep. I think you’re using your stroller which helps keep the head raised, which probably helps with the reflux that they all seem to have. Anyway, I’m a real proponent of breast-feeding and breast-feeding works best when the mother just stays with the baby. When the baby is needing more milk, you will find that you are going to be tired in the afternoon. and will need to lay down as well and so go with it! It will help your milk supply. I don’t really believe the parents will suffocate their babies as I was always very aware as the mother just like you wake up when there are tiny little noises. I think the baby should sleep nearest the mother on her front side. The goal is to be sure everybody gets some sleep during the night, so make your own decisions that work for you.

You guys are doing a great job! We swore by the 5 S's: swaddling, shushing near her ear and using the sleep sheep white noise machine (life saver), swaying, sucking (our daughter used the pacifier for four months and then one day just didn't need/want it anymore), and holding her on her side. The 5 S's and the schedule like you are doing saved us. I highly recommend the sleep sheep. Also when you shush, do it right against her ear. It mimics her hearing your heartbeat in the womb. You guys are doing awesome! Enjoy every moment. The days are long, but the years are short. And don't be afraid of the pacifier. Just because she uses it as an infant doesn't mean she will use it for a long time. As I said, our daughter only used it for four months and she told us when she didn't need it anymore by constantly spitting it out.

@FnAVanLife 8 месяцев назад

She’s just devine friends. You’re doing awesome. These newborn days are so challenging. We did a super swaddle, which is a technique using two blankets that keeps the arms from breaking out if you want to look it up on RU-vid. It really helped my one that loved to be swaddled. Just keep swimming! She will sleep more soon. Love seeing your happy family.

This morning I was watching a video from Meghan and Matt's channel where they filmed (2022) a van meetup in Moab. They gave a cameo appearance to a small brown dog with a bucked tooth and I'm like "that's Pacco! (sp?)". Then later in the video Frank appeared for a brief moment with a FnA sticker... bingo. I barely recognized Frank but your dog.... ya. Cutie pie. Congrats on the baby, having children was the best, most rewarding thing I ever did.

Hey, I had hack for you. Make a raised 3 sideded baby box and bed (couch cushion) next to moms side of the bed. Slide a piece of wood under the mattress to keep the box from slipping away creating a crevice. Then add 2 dowels staple with a soft breathable mesh to go across the open section like a gate. I'm thinking 2 rings on the side of the box with a slit for the mesh to pass through but that the wood dowels snugly fit into. That way mom can stay in bed, move the gate, scoot in to breast feed, scoot out replace the gate. Having a mesh wall would allow you to still be skin to skin almost and then a reduced risk of sids or suffocation while still getting to cosleep. Just a thought it might make your life easier, baby safer, and give you guys more rest. Biggest of hugs to you both I'm so happy for you. You're so much love and I love you together been watching a long time❤.
