This probably sounds weird but I love how messy your house is! I feel like most youtubers put on such a front with a super clean and organized house and it makes me feel like I’m doing a bad job BUT this made me feel more real😂 you’re doing a great job mama!!
Nathan well mess does bother me lol😂 BUT I love seeing youtubers real daily life. Kayla’s messy house shows how a sahm’s house really looks like during the day and it just makes her video feel more like a home😊
I am almost obsessive about having a clean house, but once my daughter was born, that all changed. I had to adjust to dealing with having messes and it was probably one of the most stressful parts of child rearing. Having kids means messes, so now I'm just rolling with it! Nobody should ever feel bad about the house being messy when they are raising babies.
I am facing postpartum depression and my baby is 20days old she slept in day and she awakes at whole night and my toddler is also become v touchy and same situation I have faced in my house all time mess
I have been battling postpartum depression and watching a real life video is so releiving Thank you for being a true real Mother God Bless you and your beautiful family💙
I love watching your vlogs because you don’t sugar coat anything! Life with a newborn is all about survival. My son is now 3 months and things are so much calmer now. In the first 2 months I was just trying to survive the day, the hour or the minute. Happy dances for when a day went really well :)
Thank you. These are the videos that need to be just as popular as the “happy go lucky parenting “videos which is basically all you ever see. I am a dad of two. My oldest is three and my youngest is six weeks. When I tell you that our patience has been tested, I mean it has been pushed to the absolute limit. It is very refreshing to see videos like this knowing that we are not the only ones struggling out here. Because if you look online it is very easy to think that you aren’t doing something right because the bad stressful days do not get shown very often.
As a nanny I remember the family I worked for really stressing about keeping the house clean. They also had a toddler and newborn so sometimes I failed to do both if the baby was extra cranky or the toddler didn't take a good nap. The mom would want me to do laundry, dishes, sweep/mop plus an outing every day but my day looked similar to this and it stressed me out. I couldn't imagine being a mom.
I feel you! In the same boat where my boy has only slept being held. So many other "realistic" newborn videos make it seem so easy. This vlog is the most realistic day I've seen. This will pass!
This is probably the ONLY real life in a day I have ever seen on RU-vid.. and I have literally watched 100s!! The mess (with respect) the chaos, the toddler having non stop meltdowns, the newborn grunting (which both my two did.. what even is this? No doctor had answers for me?!) admitting that she is never home alone without help, admitting to lack of sleep, admitting to being so over it with meltdowns, no filter with what shes saying. This video will actually help so many mums/dads feel so much better about themselves, that they are not alone. Obviously there are informative things in this video.. but most people are probably just relieved to see what is going on in the background. No hiding it. Well done, the best day in a life! Respect for being real for us xxx
Maybe trying to do bicycles with his legs and helping him move a little more will help him 😔 thanks for showing a rougher day. I think sometimes on RU-vid it’s easier to show the highlights and the happy days but it’s not always realistic
Morgan T I try to do them when he’s fussy but it works for like 2 seconds and he’s back to his cranky self. Poor dude. But I’m so glad you guys don’t mind a crazy chaotic vlog lol that’s real life and even if I wanted to pretend like everything was fine, I don’t think I could 😂 this is by far the most rewarding season of life but good God, it’s freaking hard! Lol
@@KaylaBuell I feel your pain. My first was just like your baby boy. Nursed quickly, fussed constantly, only happy when attached to me, only slept well in my arms or close to me. Also highly alert, hated tummy time (never ended up liking it), etc. No amount of advice helped. It was just the way she was and she is still temperamental, but now at least it's manageable (at nearly 2 years old). My second is on the way and I am so worried it will be the same situation. I was so sleep deprived the first time and the judgement and advice was endless (and about 95% unhelpful). I hope you're doing well 10 months down the road with him (and the two of them combined). I don't know how you have the patience (or the back strength 😂)
I love the realness in this vlog, I watch as I am nursing my 6 day old daughter sitting on the sofa needed a shower with a nursing bra and my mesh underwear that I got from the hospital. So real!
I love how you show the real and raw motherhood. It's not easy with 2 kids it's all about survival mode. So many moms make it seem like it's easy but they don't show the real hard days they only share the good days. But that's not real life being a mom.
This is the realest and sweetest mama vlog I've seen. ❤️ I've got a toddler and another baby on the way. I appreciate every bit of your realness here. Even seeing your little girl tantrum over the little things reminds me and hearing you say that your patience is wearing thin reminds me that it's not just me!
I remember how sleep deprived and depressed and stressed I was when my son was a newborn. He’s 8 months old and I’m so much happier and I’ve been doing so much better since I hit past the first couples months and little by little I’ve been getting better. Having other mom friends and going out and having help from family and my boyfriend helps so much! Being alone makes it all harder. Surrounding yourself with support helps a ton. You’re so strong and I love how transparent you are! I don’t like when people do vlogs as a mom and make it look easy… it’s not! Even with a schedule, schedules change all the time. I can’t imagine having two little ones, you’re doing an incredible job! ❤️
This video made me feel so much better. I love watching other mom videos to get some motivation. But a lot of RU-vid moms seem to have everything worked out perfectly. Their kids take multiple naps a day, they are perfectly dressed every morning, their house is clean. It makes me feel so inadequate because I can barely get my kid to nap once let alone twice a day. My house is usually a mess. With the pandemic going on I haven’t worn makeup or jeans for about 8 months now. It’s a relief to see a day in the life that looks so much more like mine.
This is so much more realistic than the highly produced videos with women wearing full makeup and hair curled and everything is perfect. This is more soothing to see.
My son had reflux and I know the pain! It's so hard watching them uncomfortable. I am currently pregnant with a little girl my son will be 2 year 3 months when she is born. Thank you for showing the reality of it all. You are doing amazing, beautiful family.
Girl! I don't have any kids so I don't know EXACTLY what it's like but I can imagine. This video is probably what my life would be like. Thank you for showing real life.
I love that yours is a true ditl others are all out together hair done makeup done dressed like who has time for that with a toddler annnnnd a needy newborn get real. Thank you for showing us mommas it’s not super easy or glamorous
Thank you so much for sharing REAL life! I’m about to be there, 3 weeks til our second girl gets here and my first daughter is about to be 18 months. My first girl was just like your little boy, never content unless she was asleep. She never would just lay down and chill. She had severe lip and tongue ties that we had lasered at 6 weeks old and she did much better with nursing and not spitting up so much after all that was healed. Hope your little man starts feeling better soon!!
Thank you for for showing us a real ditl! My newborn is 6 days old and my oldest is 17 months. Honestly, I had a panic attack just thinking about how I am going to take care of two kids. Your video gave me hope!
I'm on the same boat! I have a 3 week old and an 18-month old.. Both boys. Honestly it's been hard even with a nanny hired. How is it going for you so far?
@@sarahb5499 The first year was really hard but now they are inseparable. It helps if you involve the toddler with the baby activities like changing his diaper. Also try to play with your toddler when your baby doesn’t need attention.
So relatable. Thank you for sharing. I feel like you voiced so many of the things I’ve been dealing with as a mom to a two week old and a two year old. It’s insanity over here. I know it gets better but I’m in the trenches and this makes me feel a little less alone in here.
Yes, patience. I was stressed for years but I've finally learned how to take a step back, breathe and get back to the kids. I have 5, my youngest is 5 months and the oldest 12years. You're doing an amazing job. 😊😊
i dont know how to thank you enough for this real video. i feel less horrible about having a messy and family who come over n complain about the mess but dont lend a helping hand. thank you so much for this video. and i think u look really pretty, even in your jammies
Thanks for showing the real truth about a toddler and newborn other youtubers dont show the beginning of how hard it is, I'm struggling with my 17 month and newborn reality has set in lol.
Really appreciate this video. Super real day and I am just sitting here imagining my life with a newborn and a toddler and this is really giving me the picture lol. I see it’s hard but possible and I am excited! Thx again, keep making videos!
My sister in law used an incline adapter in the bassinet for both of her daughters to help with their acid reflux. Sleeping at an incline helped them so much, and it helped her get a lot more rest too!
I feel you. This reminds about my son when he was a new born, he was a colicky baby, it was the tough time ever. It's not easy at all, you're doing so great. Give it 3 months and things will get better
Thank you so much for this very realistic day in the life. I’m so sick of seeing RU-vidr post a “realistic” day in the life, and their whole lives are perfect. Their homes are spotless, their babies are always so well behaved and never throw tantrums. Their 2 week old is apparently sleeping through the night and is already on a schedule. They’re going and doing all of these activities outside of the house right after having the baby. And if there’s like one piece of clothing on their bed, they’re like “omg I’m so sorry for the mess guys, my house is chaos” and it’s like perfectly clean and tidy. It’s so discouraging and makes you feel like you’re doing something wrong.
My boy was just like that, maybe not even that bad.. but as I first time mom it just felt like I wasn't doing a good job and I just felt so unlucky having such a miserable baby. It was so hard comparing my reality with other moms who could put down their happy babies or even go on sroller outings.. you sharing your reality is so important, this video would've helped me feel less alone! Hang in there, and be kind to yourself!
Thank you so much for these videos. I am a new Mom. On the social media people always show how things are so perfect... but at least I can relate to your mini blog. Thanks again
I am currently with a 2-year-old girl and a 3-month-old boy. My little girl when she was an infant is exactly like your little boy. It was the most exhausting time of my life. She spits up so much, like an exorcist kind of spit-up every time she feeds even in the middle of the night. She doesn't sleep well. She just learned to sleep by herself not until she was more than 1 year old. But now my little boy is a chill baby. I got to relax a tad bit. But you know, we can't really relax haha! That's why I'm watching this just so I feel I am not alone. I am not the only one who doesn't have a really nice clean house, doesn't have a good sleep, and a lot lot more. Cheers to us mommas!!
I love how real and raw this video is 💙💙 seeing your in pajamas, seeing Riley in her PJs being a toddler seeing poopy newborn I love it. I am currently pregnant with my second child and I’m so nervous thank you so much .
I get flashbacks every time you post the little guy grunting. I promise it will get better! It took 3 months before my son showed signs of relief and finally stopped grunting and had an easier time pooping. For me, it felt like forever and I saw no hope in him feeling better. But just like other moms told me, it will get better and you're doing all the right things to try to help him. Hang in there!
This looks like my life currently. Gotta love those toddler moments.. my little man wants to be on me all day long too! The struggle is real. Hang in there Kayla.
Hi Kayla! My best friend’s son is 10 months right now (6 was younger than my daughter) and he had horrible reflux up to the 6 month mark. Hoping for little Jackson to outgrow his earlier, but I know a couple things that helped them make the best of a terrible situation were him living in bibs and her always having a reusable diaper cloth between her and him. It just helped the mess of it all to feel more manageable so they both weren’t having to constantly change their clothes. Good luck!!
I wish I found you before I had my son about 2.5 months ago. I had no idea what two under two was gonna be like. This is soooooo real. This is my life.
I love the reality of this! Thank you! My daughter had the worst colic, she didn't sleep for what felt like 3 months. Now a toddler. Patience is definitely tested.
Aw my son had really bad colic and behaved just like yours...He cried, moaned, looked like he's in pain. And then when that was over the teething started...But he is 5 years old now! And I can't believe he's so big. I'm happy you're showing what it's really like for us moms.
Your vlogs are keeping me sane. I just had my first baby and he’s having a lot of the same issues and super grunty at night and was always crying when he was awake. It’s just now in his 6th week of life that he’s starting to have happier moments. I’m sorry you’re going through it too but atleast we’re not alone ❤️ you got this mama!
I have a toddler who will be 2yrs 6 months when my next one is born in june. My other half will be at work a lot so its nice to see a realistic video of what life may be like. Thankyou
I cried watching your video, I have never told anyone how I feel but it is extremely hard because I'm by myself 90% of the time and want to be strong for my family. I've also tried everything I've been recommended for my little one, he turned 1 month on the 16th. Out of desperation I might try chamomile tea but I am still scared. I just want the best for my baby. Thank you for your video!
My first baby is turning a year in a few days and I’m due in September with my second. I love the fact that your videos are so real and also helped me look forward to what my life will be like with a toddler and a newborn.
We are living the same life!!!! No lie! I feel every part of your struggle! My son was the same as your little boy with the gas and the grunting... it was very very hard, he’s my oldest, he’s 18months now and he’s having a very hard time adjusting to his baby sister. My daughter on the other hand is an angel child, she sleeps most of the day and is very content... so far, she’s only a week and a half old tho. But toddler and newborn mommy life is very very hard! I love watching your videos because you speak to my soul! Lol, hang in there girl, we can do it!
Poor little guy, I hope his reflux gets better with the medicine soon. ♥️ Sending you lots of love on those rough mom days. I am very thankful for iPads a lot of days lol
My daughter turned a month today too. I thought was the only one who struggled with their baby wanting to be held all day. My oldest is 12 so she’s a big help
On the off chance you haven't tried it yet gripe water seriously saved me when my son had gas issues. He had reflux too and it was so so frustrating, and the amount of times he puked on me at the worst possible times were too many to count. Good luck! It will pass eventually!
Moira desRosiers thank you mama! Yea, we like the gripe water but it doesn’t seem to help him too much. And yea, I’ve come to accept that I’ll forever smell like milk and vomit. Super super cute 🙌🏼😂💙
Im not sure if you can get it over where you are because it's made here in QLD Australia but we also have something called infants friend. Its like gripe water but abit better for them while they are so little and unlike gripe water where you can only give so much a day, you can give him infants friend before every feed and after feeds and even during feeds if you need. Its all natural and worked really well for my son who suffered with gas but wasnt colic, my mother inlaw put me onto it as my husband who is 30 was a very colicy baby and she used it on him, so its been around for a very very long time.
I love your videos. Again I'm a first time Mom with a 6 week old now and I relate to your recent videos. I wanted your pregnancy journey while I was pregnant too. I learn so much, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video! As a new first time Mum that’s really struggling it’s so refreshing to see a REAL day in the life! I’ve been watching all sorts of You Tube videos for tips on being a Mum and they all make things look so easy and makes me constantly feel like I’m doing it wrong! It’s nice to see a video that’s more real and that I’m not the only one that spends all day in my pjs with sick down them! Xxx
Perfect video. Love to see how you 3 are managing 💙. I am expecting my babyboy beginning of march and daughter will be just 2 by then. This is very inspirational. My daughter was also never happy as a baby only in my arms. Hope babyboy will be a bit more relaxed 🤞. We will find out. You rock momma 💙💙💙
My baby had to be on me all the time until she hit 4 months. Maybe the end is in sight for you soon! It was so draining and I loved being with her, but I'm glad that part is over. Everything is temporary 💕
My 2 1/2 month girl is just like Jackson! One night, she woke up me and my husband because she projectile vomited and she couldn't breathe from the vomit covering her face. We ran to the hospital and did some tests, and found out she was allergic to all milk proteins. At first we thought she was just lactose intolerant, so I stopped pumping and we switched to a lactose free formula. But we ended up having to use Enfamil Prosobee. Our pediatrician recommended Similac too if she has trouble still. It's been a month. She's still grunting and spitting up, but not nearly as much! She's also on a prescribed gas medication and she took a reflux medicine for a month. This is my first baby and it's been so confusing and difficult trying to figure it all out. Thank you for sharing your real life. It helps me to not feel so alone.
This was my life 4 years ago. My daughter had worst acid reflux problem. We were able to rent baby wedge from hospital, i think you can buy them too, but they were quite expensive. I was told to feed her on that wedge. Also, pump for 5 mins before feeding. Get all the water out, and feed only the thick milk (milk fat). Fat fills them up and are easier to digest. It all got better once she was able to sit. Pregnant with baby#2. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞
You go momma 🎉. I have a 3 month old and a 2.5 year old but I can definitely lay him down . So the fact that you can’t on top of reflux that’s so tough but you’re doing so great !!! Give yourself lots of grace .
I’ve recently found your channel and love it. You look like you’re doing an amazing job and have beautiful children. I am getting married in June and will probably want to be trying to have a baby next year but watching these sorts of videos is really useful because it gives me true insight on motherhood and really helps xxx
My daughter was just like Jackson: reflux, would not sleep anywhere but on us. She was a very unhappy and hard baby but it got better when she started crawling. Hang in there, Mama! Kisses from another exhausted Mama from Berlin, Germany
Hey mama! I totally agree with the nose frida being the bomb BUT we got a nelimed version of it (same idea) and the tip of it is curved and its flexible so I feel like it gets so much more out. If you find yourself in a pinch I highly suggest trying that one! I recommend it to everyone 🤣
LOVE LOVE LOVE my nail grinder. I am a first time mom and it has made me feel so much more comfortable trimming my baby's nails. I was terrified of traditional nail trimmers
It's tough being a mum, there are the good & bad days. I love these since I have been having a hard time, my daughter would always be up so I hardly would get any sleep.
I have the same swing! My daughter (5 months old today!) didn’t like it until 3ish months, now she LOVES it. You’re doing great! I love watching your vlogs. I’m a SAHM to a 21 month old crazy boy and a 5 month old baby girl. I feel like my son is so much like Riley! I can relate on almost everything! Thank you for your videos, you’re my little escape for the day 🤗
You are such a great mama! I have been watching your videos since I had my little boy 7 months ago. They have been super helpful and normalizing. I especially loved your postpartum recovery videos. I feel so bad for poor little Jackson. Reflux sucks! My son had colic and some reflux but moreso, colic. It was tough! Hang in there 🙌💕
