I have to say thank you for being so genuine and real. All the other 24-hour videos I’ve seen have been so frustrating to watch. The mother’s in those videos seem to have a “perfect” life where the schedule goes as plan and the baby never cries and always sleeps. I even saw a video where the mother has time to bath and exercise. It makes me ask myself “what am I doing wrong?” So again, thank you so much for posting this…I felt like a failure as a new mom, but your video reassured me that motherhood is not easy but worth it! ❤️
This is the most realistic video that I’ve seen! The other newborn or a bit older DITL videos show perfect angel babies that sleep in their own crib with perfectly rested moms. It makes me feel like a failure, but at least I feel like we’re in it together! I have a 1.5 week old;)
Crystal Wall girl I’ve felt like such a failure too lately with his sleeping situation but I’m trying to not let it get to me. But this is real life lol some kids are just terrible sleepers! Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️
Kayla Buell I don’t know how you could feel like a failure, if I were to vlog what I’ve been going through, I would have to edit like 4 hours of crying. You’re strong!!
@@KaylaBuell Hello Kayla! we have been trying to reach out to you for a while but in vain.we have been following your channel for a while and we would love to work with you.We sent you an email a few days ago and we look forward your reply.Thank you so much )))
@@KaylaBuell Hello Kayla we love your content and we would love to work with you.we sent you an email but still we didnt hear back from you .We would really appreciate your reply .We thank you so much for sharing all the mommy amazing moments :)
I started tearing up watching you rocking Jackson and trying multiple times to lay him down. It reminded me of rocking my son when he was little and all the times I’d lay him down and he’d wake up and I’d have to try over and over... it’s motherhood and it’s so beautiful. Your doing such an amazing job, your a fantastic mom even when you don’t feel like it.
I was rocking my baby to sleep and was so so so tired and in tears when I saw you were also rocking him. My baby also takes very short naps so I feel that I can’t even go to the washroom...thanks for sharing your day, it makes me feel better to know that I am not alone in this.
My baby is 7 weeks old and I have never been so exhausted in my life!! Sometimes I feel guilty that I'm too tired to be enthusiastic and get the smiles and giggles that her dad can bring out of her. Definitely the hardest thing I've ever done, and I used to work full time and go to college at night. It's good to know I'm not alone, and that even with a wonderful baby, it can be a struggle sometimes. 💗
@@jennyrodriguez4882 I cant wait for a schedule! I feel like feeding her on demand (ebf) always throws our plans off. How old was your baby when you started a schedule?
Amy Mallett from the hospital I didn’t know anything about babies and I asked my nurse when should I do everything like changing feeding burping I didn’t have a clue lol she told me to feed her every three hours and to change her before feedings so she would have a fresh diaper and would be comfortable while feeding. So I’ve had her on a schedule since birth. Feed every 3 hrs regardless of whether it’s day and night for the first 3 months then after drop a feeding at night as you increase the amount of milk they drink during the day. Less feeding at night more milk during the day. I googled sleep schedules and feeding schedules and followed them as she got older and that has helped me so much. Even now she’s 15 months I still do a schedule with just one nap during the day and 11 hr stretch of sleep at night. A good resource is takingcarababies on Instagram she helps with sleeping issues.
Amy Mallett also I use a baby tracker to track what time we do everything and how long she sleeps so I remember. I use Baby Tracker and I’ve also used Huckleberry which is the one Kayla uses.
I know I’m years late to this video but it makes me feel so seen! I have a 3mo and was feeling like a bad mom because she watches me do house chores, she mostly naps on me, and she sleeps in my bed at night where I constantly nurse her back to sleep. Seeing this made me feel so much better. This is real life! Thank you for sharing :)
Momma, that makes you and I both. Today was one of those days where I felt horrible - the most I've done is get a change of clothes and everything else is just a blur. Many of my mommy friends have the "perfect" babies that sleep all night in their cribs, and they eat on a schedule etc. So this vid helped lift a massive load off my shoulders
Same here! I’m 2,5 month old baby girl’s mum, some days we have nice walk, cool dinner, play etc and some days I feel I’m spending 100% on trying to make her sleep. The more she cannot the more mad she is, the more I’m stressed. Don’t know how many times I was just crying along with her. Being mum is hard! So worth it all but not easy
Oh man. Your multiple attempts at putting Jackson down, I feel you 😭 you’re doing amazing. It’s crazy how fast he’s growing!! I’m so glad we got to collab. We’re definitely not alone in this!!!
I would suggest putting his bed on an incline on his head as he may have silent reflux and when lying on his back his acid rises and hurts his throat. Ditch the swaddle and make the room very very dark. If he is fine in the carrier it may be that he upright. We have the same age baby x
Love this! I have a 3 month old who is also a terrible sleeper! It is so nice to see what people do when they are not getting a nice 1-2 hour nap every few hours! It's constant 1:1 with her, and possibly a 20 minute nap here and there.
My son was born a few days before yours, he was exactly the same as Jackson not wanting to nap, having to be rocked and put down multiple times, and sometimes just skipping naps all together. Same with night he would wake up so many times and I’d have to have him in my bed. I got so sick of not being able to sleep and having to rock him to sleep I transitioned him out of the swaddle into a sleep sack and sleep trained him using the Ferber method, he did so well so fast with it I was so amazed! Now he can put himself to sleep pretty easily sometimes cries lightly at bedtime but it’s so much easier on me. Maybe it’s time you try to sleep train him? I know you wanted to wait till 6 months, but that’s a long time to have to sleep like this! My sons crib is also in our room still. I love watching you and your beautiful family also. I hope things start to get easier with you and Jackson. ❤️
Hi Kayla! I would definitely try to put him down for his naps in a dark room. And try to put him down drowsy - not asleep. You also mentioned that he sleeps 30 minutes on average. That is absolutely normal at this age - he still cannot consolidate sleep cycles (1 cycles usually lasts about 30 minutes at that age). My LO sleeps 30 minutes on average as well (he's about a week older than Jackson). After 4th month babies try to consolidate sleep cycles - the naps should start getting longer from that point on.
This video has made me feel so much better! I was always watching the angel baby routines and end up feeling so low, the multiple attempts to put him down is so relatable 😭 I always give up and let her nap in my arms which I’m trying to break the habit of so I can actually get something done, it’s such a beautiful yet exhausting time thank you for sharing!!
Kayla, do you think that maybe he doesn't like to be swaddled anymore? Just an observation from a mom of 4. I know that by 3 months, I was not swaddling my babies anymore. But Idk, you're his mom, yo know him best!
Oz Nazur I agree with this my baby never liked to be swaddled I tried it in the beginning and realized she likes to sleep with her arm up by her head. I ending up using the swaddle me I think it’s called that allows her arms up and I never had an issue with her sleeping again.
I have a three month old and I stopped swaddling after her first month. She just cannot stand it, so she sleeps tru her naps like a star fish lol but to sleep at night she sleeps on her tummy. I know doctors do not recommend it but it's the most comfortable position for her and I can't do anything to change it. The only issue I have with my little girl is her schedule, she will fall asleep at 2 am!! And them she sleeps for 5 hours. I'm working on that.
Omg I LOVE your video. Makes me feel like I'm not alone.. we are struggling with naps too. First time mom here.. and it's nice to see something real. You are doing a great job. Everything I see or read is about routine and everything being perfect and having a new born is not perfect. Every day is SO different. Thanks for sharing something real!
This is so realistic! Thank you for posting it. My baby is 11 weeks and thankfully a bit better of a sleeper, but I so appreciate seeing another mama with a schedule that is real life and perfectly lining up on the dot.
We have a 2 month old baby boy. We put black out curtains in our room to help him distinguish nap time/nighttime vs daytime. When he’s in a dark room he sleeps better. Just a suggestion. Your family is so cute. I’m a new viewer and I love watching your videos! You’re doing a great job!
@@feizhu5164 please ma'am tell me I also have the same question my one month 20 days old baby does this all time. I hope ur baby is fine. I'm frustrated when it I'll stop. I'm breastfeeding can I drink coffee tea and he doesn't poop for 2 3 days is it normal
I came here to say this is the most realistic baby video I’ve seen!! It made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the nap struggle! Thank you!! It really was helpful
My sleep journey with my son was very, very similar. It could be so demoralizing and plain exhausting. I tried almost everything. But just ended up co-sleeping until he was 1 yr old. I know everyone flames on it, but you have to do what you can to keep your sanity. When my boy was 10-12 months I converted his crib (that he never slept in) to a toddler bed and pulled it up flesh to my bed. So I’d rock him to sleep and then shift him over in his bed. If he woke up, I’d put him back in his crib and pretend to sleep. I did this until he understood that he slept the there. But I know you sleep trained Riley, so ignore all that. Lol!
Jemi my goodness idk why they’re such terrible sleepers lol but yes I’ve cried a lot of tears of frustration lately. Trying to not let it get to me too much!
Kayla Buell dear plz dont over frustrate yourself with crying as it doesnt help nor does any good to either of you. We r in the same boat. My LO (2mnths) has the same sleep habit. I rock her like 20 min or so for every nap and night sleep.
Your son reminds me of my son a lot. He also had trouble sleeping and still does. During the newborn phase we stopped swaddling and that helped he liked having his hands up.
Hi Kayla. Just saw your video and I really like your realistic life with Jackson. I have 3 month and 22 days baby boy. I also had trouble with his daytime's sleep. I also using a carrier so that he could sleep longer. But now I try to put him on the bed after rocking him to sleep. The longest time he could sleep is 30 mins. And I have to do it for 5-6 times / day so that he can get enough sleep. Sometimes, I will just carry him so that he can sleep more. We don't have routine because it always changed everyday. Sometimes, I feel like a loser and exhausted but seeing his face and smile give me strength to continue living our life. I believe that every mom have their own difficulties dealing with their children. Stay strong mommies!
Have you considered a sleep sack instead of a swaddle or swaddling him with his arms out or is there not enough room in the Snoo for him to turn over safely, should he decide to do so? Generally cribs are safer for rolling. Or maybe even try just one arm out? By the way, did you tilt the Snoo so that he's not flat since he seems to hate flat? He struggles so much physically to poop that maybe he is scared he won't be able to writhe enough to get the job done if restricted, confined. He cannot articulate that in words. But as a tiny animal, he has fears that cannot be articulated and some would involve confinement, strictures. He is probably not having that many startle reflex episodes anymore. On the other hand, how would you know because he doesn't sleep long enough at night for you to notice when that happens, but then he soothes himself back to sleep. Jackson just may never settle until he's in a crib in his room and cannot no longer see, hear, smell you during the night. Your bedroom is pretty bright for sleep. You'll have to try things and see what happens during the upcoming sleep regression and developmental leap. He does crack me up with the little partial scowl on his brow with his chin planted on his chest, doubling it. Too funny. Oh, check out the look on his face during tummy time! That baby is observing all that he can get into as soon as he figures out how to move from that spot. He is not missing a thing. LOL. It's hard to tell on an edited vlog, but you do seem to pick him up quickly when he starts to grumble while awake in the Mama Roo or when he complains and kicks in the Snoo. Lots of babies begin to let you know they are hungry or don't want to take this nap you're insisting upon by grumbling a bit. Does his always escalate into screaming of some duration? He has been so sweet and grumbled some today. And we haven't had a poop vigil! LOL. Jackson seems to love his bath. And, again, note he is at an incline while being bathed. His laugh is sweet, but he looked scared when Riley screamed. That noise was not a happy or funny one to him. He is a smart, alert baby. Is it possible he does not stay awake for 2-3 hours because he is not taking long enough naps that include a full sleep cycle now and then throughout the day? He really did look tired again when you had Riley say goodnight to us. How many ounces is he drinking at a feed? He should be able to hold enough in his belly to sleep longer now. It's hard to tell when nursing the baby. Oh Kayla, this is so hard. But I am concerned about his eating and sleeping habits for his sake, too. If something brilliant occurs to me that we've all overlooked, I'll let you know. I'll keep praying.
Honestly you are doing a good job I thought me doing this with my baby was like neglectful but that was my mind going all over the place but I realized this is normal to and I'm in the 3rd month of my little girls life and I just wanted to say thank you for this video it gave me reassurance that everything will be alright no matter how hard it gets
You are seriously my favorite UA-cam mom channel. I love how realistic your videos are! I also have a 2 year old daughter and I’m expecting a little boy in about 4 weeks! Your videos make me feel less stressed and overwhelmed about the 1-2 kid transition. I love how positive you are. Thanks for keeping it real. You are doing an amazing job momma! Jackson & Riley are adorable 😍.
Hi Kayla, I loved this video! My baby was born on the 12th of December and she is exactly like little Jackson! She never naps in her bassinet either and always just wants to sleep in my arms, you are so patient trying to get him to sleep in the Snoo, I hope he starts to like it soon but I definitely know how hard it is, we have this beautiful bassinet for our daughter and she just wants to sleep on me! But I am loving every minute and cherish every snuggle with her. I actually just discovered that she too likes to sleep on my bed so I feed my baby and then leave her to nap on the bed at least I can have usually about an hour to get things done which is great, I think the warmth of the bed after I have just fed her helps a lot and maybe that is why they don't love the bassinet naps because it is cold and they prefer to me warm with their Mama :) My baby too sleeps in bed with me during the night and we have had some super fussy nights lately too so I know what you are going through! It is so nice to see you and your family and know that I am not going through this all alone, especially during this time with the Coronavirus and we can't even get out to Mother's groups or to visit Grandma. I am glad that you are able to nurse Jackson now, you must be really happy about that, I am already looking forward to your next video!
Dani Edwards my son was born December 12 too! He’s been super fussy as well and prefers to sleep with me. It’s much easier tho since I’m Breastfeeding!
This is very helpful! I’m currently pregnant and was looking for a realistic day in the life with a newborn to understand more or less what to expect when the baby gets here. Thank you for sharing this!
A suggestion from a grandma of 5 … I do believe he is fighting the swaddle and also a dark room will let him know that it’s sleep time… also it looks like side sleeping with something at his back comforts him also we put rice cereal in a bottle of formula/breastmilk at bedtime (suggested by his pediatrician) and it helped …you can tell me to shut up lol but I’m just trying to think of something that might help you …… remember persistence and yes easier said than done……… you’re a great mommy!!!
@@nataliejacques-poku9834 anything added to a bottle is a choking hazard. It's not recommended to add cereal or anything to a bottle unless recommended by a doctor
I've been a nanny for over a decade and I agree with all you said! I'm only 29 but very thankful for a big family and having the experience I have with babies. My 4 month old has slept 12 hrs a night since beginning and a wonderful napper, he hardly ever cries too! I know personality is a huge factor and he is my only one, so far.....I love babies:))
I LOVED THIS! It made me feel I'm not alone and my baby is no weird thing, thank you, must ditl show perfectly behaved kids, my baby is 3 months and naps are very hard still. Thanks again!!
I definitely relate to you, my boy is 3 months too, thanks for showing the reality you live which is similar for a lot of moms🙋🏽♀️ it’s nice to see we are not alone and motivates to keep on going to whatever works best without feeling guilty, thanks for sharing 👌🏾
A very realistic video! Watching this while Bub is currently napping past the 20min mark (just praying she goes for a bit longer!). Feel your frustration and hope his sleeping is getting better
Had I rough night with my little one last just getting her to sleep. Until I finally gave up and just let her sleep in our bed. This makes me feel so much better about my decision. Thank you!
You're doing amazing! Well done. I love that it's a realistic video and I wish I had seen more videos like this before I had my baby (he's 9 months now) but during these stages I struggled so bad as I had never seen content where it showed what it was truly like. I would have been slightly more prepared mentally but anyway....lol
it's the first time I watched a video, that doesn't make me feel bad about me, cos all the others are showing how amazing and easy it is to keep them cool and quiet. Thanks, I also struggle with the sleeping schedule with my baby
I love these videos! I have a 1 year old and I'm due with #2 in August so I like seeing what I'm in for. My daughter was also a horrible sleeper and still a pretty bad napper. It's so hard but sometimes there just isn't an answer! You handle it all so well and it's inspiring me. ❤
I watched you through my pregnancy and now I have a baby girl who just turned 3 months. I love watching your videos so that I feel like I have a friend who’s going through the same thing. Keep going mama you got this!!! Just a thought, maybe try unswaddling him? My girl was like this in her first few weeks and when we took her out of her swaddle she slept beautifully. That’s when we realised she loves having her arms out and she moves quite a lot in her sleep. She only wakes up for her feeds every 3.5-4 hours and falls right back asleep xxx
Hey Kayla! In your experience since Jackson doesn’t sleep well in the daytime, does he sleep throughout the night or for long stretches at night? I have the opposite problem, my daughter naps well in the day time but wants to stay up at night.
Dang this baby in so freakin cute 🥰 My nephew was born in december too, I miss him so much ! I'm so happy to see that you can breastfeed Jackson again 😘
Léa Tranier thank you!! And yes, I’m really happy especially during these crazy times. One less thing to have to worry about - like not having to go out and find formula.
You are seriously the freaking best momma! I just had my baby boy (1st time momma) January 23rd and I’ve been watching since I found out I was pregnant back in May of 2019! I look up to you so much and you so the real was of momma life!
I wish I had found your channel when I had a newborn. My son and Jackson are so similar in every way. My son never slept in his bassinet. Our record was 40mins. And at 3 months he took 45 min naps, down to the second. So watching this video I feel so justified. I got judged from family and friends and I took his problems with sleeping on to myself. It’s was my fault why he doesn’t sleep in a bassinet, my fault that he doesn’t sleep through the night, my fault why he spits up so much. Seeing your videos makes me feel like I did what I had to do and there is nothing wrong with them. Our babies are perfect , they just need a little help in the sleep dept.
Just stumbled upon your channel and you are deff my new favorite UA-camr mama! I have a 21 month toddler and I am 29 weeks pregnant with baby #2 so thanks for the insight and keeping it real!
This was refreshing to see. I have a 6 week old who is a horrible sleeper as well and ultimately we had to do what was best for everyone and our sanity and let him sleep with me in bed. He just cries and cries and it takes a TON of rocking to get him asleep. It’s frustrating but I know it’s temporary. We’re all in this together! Well besides the lucky moms with the angel babies lol
My daughter is almost 3 months and I’ve done my own twist on swaddling her now because she likes to have her arms free and up when she sleeps. When we go to bed.. I swaddle her lightly from her stomach down leaving her arms exposed so she can do whatever with them. She seems to enjoy that more since she used to break completely out of her swaddle every night anyhow.
Many others have mentioned this in your comments but I’d like to also say that maybe he’d prefer not being swaddled. I have a 5yr old and a 6 week old and I never tried swaddling but I know my 6 week old would never sleep with it. She moves so much while she sleeps. She sleeps for at least 1-2 hours at a time which is not super great but every now and then She will sleep for 3.5 hours. I totally feel ya having to rock him to sleep. My first baby girl would only go to sleep if she was rocked and it was soooo hard. Especially once she started to get bigger because I couldn’t walk around with her for long before my back would be killing me. Luckily so far my newest baby girl sleeps better than my first. All babies are so different 🙂 I love your videos btw! 💕 your an awesome mommy from what I see!
I feel you on the sleep regression. My little guy is 3 1/2 months and we are struggling with sleep. His naps during the day are so short and he won't sleep unless next to me at night.
Hello, I have a 3 month old too. I was wondering if you would be sharing your sleep training journey with Jackson too? It would be amazing to be going through that with you at the same time for some solidarity! Thank you for your video! Ps my child also doesn’t sleep! X
You brought me down to earth! I was thinking my baby was having a problem with the naps. But, now I can see, he's not the only one cause he's sleeping for like 40 minute on average. At least , thanks God he's sleeping well at night.
Have you tried letting him sleep on his stomach? I've been watching you videos on and off for years, but pretty regularly since Jackson was born because I'm pregnant now with my second! I haven't read the comments so I don't know if has been suggested before. Sorry if I am part of the broken record, or if I'm part of the neverending stream of unsolicited advice. Wishing you the best of luck.
I agree! I think back sleeping is for the birds! I can’t sleep on my back, so I never expected my kids to. They were born in the 80’s, before all this back sleeping started. I bet he would have slept better on his stomach.
My little one is a bad sleeper too. Every time it’s time for a nap or bedtime he cries and screams! It take me two to three hours each time to put him to sleep! I hope it gets better and he gets the rest he needs. Your doing awesome love your channel!
Oh goodness I’m so glad I’m not the only one with a baby that will NOT stay asleep in the bassinet lol. She will sleep for maybe 10 minutes and wakes up immediately. My girl lives in the carrier 🥴
Thank you for this video, I have a six weeks baby girl and and she don’t sleep a lot at night and keeps moving during sleep and I keep seeing other videos and their kids sleeps through the night and I wonder what should I do , but seeing you made me feel that it’s ok and not all kids sleep for hours
my daughter was exactly the same, I tried everything and nothing works. at the end I decided to sleep trained her at 10 months. It was a very tough decision. I totally understand the frustration and exhaustion. Hang on there mama , you are not alone.
Around 3 months I started reading to my son a book right before every nap and even tho he didn’t understand the book it helped him learn it was sleep time
This was so sweet! You are doing an amazing job taking care of Jackson. I struggle with the same kind of issues with my baby girl and it really is no joke, I have tried a lot of things (and still am) but I realized some babies are just not so good at sleeping. Thank you for keeping it real and your consistent uploads, I recently found your channel and subscribed because of your honest content. Hugs from Mexico!
I’m watching all your videos trying to decide if I want to take the plunge into motherhood. 😂❤️I’m now 30 with no kids, I’m married, and we have pets, as well as a couple of horses, and I have NO idea how I would do it. However, I know people do... they make it work. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I saw he moves like he cant get comfy in the swaddle. Around 3 months they start to move alot and roll. I would try a nap or two with out the swaddle in the bassinet. He may sleep longer. Swaddles are mostly for newborn till around 2months. So he may be not getting comfy!
My little one gets over tired like he does. Fights sleep even though they're tired. Now, at first sign of sleepyness (yawning, eye rubbing, sneezing, back arching) , i Swaddle, rest on side and rock crib. Cry for 5 mins and then fall to sleep. Worked a treat for past 2 weeks. Little one just 12 weeks now!
Really love your videos. We want kids soon and I'm so happy to have people like you that help others and even help with products that you actually need. Your an amazing mama Kayla!!
In Belgium it’s okay to sleep train if they’re 4 months.. even now if you want. Maybe he needs dark places? I hope he’ll sleep better soon! Good job momma!
I have been following for a while now and I really enjoy your videos. You’re doing a great job! I went through the same thing with my baby with the sleeping trouble but after a month I stopped swaddling her and she became a great sleeper. Just thought I would share with you. Good luck mama!!
I'm going back to work in a few weeks and I'm starting to pump so I can build a stash for my husband and family. I've been pumping one bottle in the mornings after I feed the little dude and it's been working nice!
@@KaylaBuell Not easy at all. I've been mostly pumping and nursing at night because I have anxiety about the fact that idk how much he is eating. Lol. Thank you for the reply. Love your videos. Very relatable. Are you Cuban btw? I hear you say gordi all the time and that's what we call our babies in the family 🤣
Thanks so much for your video!! My baby is exactly the same as Jackson...and as a first time mom I thought I was doing something very wrong..since all my friends have perfect babies that sleep 6h at night by 3 months. For curiosity.., when did Jackson start to sleep longer during the night?
I have to say thank you for being so genuine and real. All the other 24-hour videos I’ve seen have been so frustrating to watch. The mother’s in those videos seem to have a “perfect” life where the schedule goes as plan and the baby never cries and always sleeps. I even saw a video where the mother has time to bath and exercise. It makes me ask myself “what am I doing wrong?” So again, thank you so much for posting this…I felt like a failure as a new mom, but your video reassured me that motherhood is not easy but worth it! ❤️
This is the most realistic video that I’ve seen! The other newborn or a bit older DITL videos show perfect angel babies that sleep in their own crib with perfectly rested moms. It makes me feel like a failure, but at least I feel like we’re in it together! I have a 1.5 week old;)
Crystal Wall girl I’ve felt like such a failure too lately with his sleeping situation but I’m trying to not let it get to me. But this is real life lol some kids are just terrible sleepers! Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️
Kayla Buell I don’t know how you could feel like a failure, if I were to vlog what I’ve been going through, I would have to edit like 4 hours of crying. You’re strong!!
@@CWall-tv7gm trust me they edit that out. I hate channels like that

I started tearing up watching you rocking Jackson and trying multiple times to lay him down. It reminded me of rocking my son when he was little and all the times I’d lay him down and he’d wake up and I’d have to try over and over... it’s motherhood and it’s so beautiful. Your doing such an amazing job, your a fantastic mom even when you don’t feel like it.
I was rocking my baby to sleep and was so so so tired and in tears when I saw you were also rocking him. My baby also takes very short naps so I feel that I can’t even go to the washroom...thanks for sharing your day, it makes me feel better to know that I am not alone in this.
My little girl just turned 12 weeks and it’s such a relief to know there are others sailing in the same boat! Thank you for a realistic video..
My baby is 7 weeks old and I have never been so exhausted in my life!! Sometimes I feel guilty that I'm too tired to be enthusiastic and get the smiles and giggles that her dad can bring out of her. Definitely the hardest thing I've ever done, and I used to work full time and go to college at night. It's good to know I'm not alone, and that even with a wonderful baby, it can be a struggle sometimes. 💗
@Soeduessi Thank you, that is so sweet! I appreciate the encouragement from someone who has been there! The 4th trimester is no joke. 💗
Don’t worry it gets better trust me I used to feel the same way. Start your baby on a schedule it will be the best thing that you ever did lol.
@@jennyrodriguez4882 I cant wait for a schedule! I feel like feeding her on demand (ebf) always throws our plans off. How old was your baby when you started a schedule?
Amy Mallett from the hospital I didn’t know anything about babies and I asked my nurse when should I do everything like changing feeding burping I didn’t have a clue lol she told me to feed her every three hours and to change her before feedings so she would have a fresh diaper and would be comfortable while feeding. So I’ve had her on a schedule since birth. Feed every 3 hrs regardless of whether it’s day and night for the first 3 months then after drop a feeding at night as you increase the amount of milk they drink during the day. Less feeding at night more milk during the day. I googled sleep schedules and feeding schedules and followed them as she got older and that has helped me so much. Even now she’s 15 months I still do a schedule with just one nap during the day and 11 hr stretch of sleep at night. A good resource is takingcarababies on Instagram she helps with sleeping issues.
Amy Mallett also I use a baby tracker to track what time we do everything and how long she sleeps so I remember. I use Baby Tracker and I’ve also used Huckleberry which is the one Kayla uses.
I know I’m years late to this video but it makes me feel so seen! I have a 3mo and was feeling like a bad mom because she watches me do house chores, she mostly naps on me, and she sleeps in my bed at night where I constantly nurse her back to sleep. Seeing this made me feel so much better. This is real life! Thank you for sharing :)
Momma, that makes you and I both. Today was one of those days where I felt horrible - the most I've done is get a change of clothes and everything else is just a blur. Many of my mommy friends have the "perfect" babies that sleep all night in their cribs, and they eat on a schedule etc. So this vid helped lift a massive load off my shoulders
Same here! I’m 2,5 month old baby girl’s mum, some days we have nice walk, cool dinner, play etc and some days I feel I’m spending 100% on trying to make her sleep. The more she cannot the more mad she is, the more I’m stressed. Don’t know how many times I was just crying along with her. Being mum is hard! So worth it all but not easy
Oh man. Your multiple attempts at putting Jackson down, I feel you 😭 you’re doing amazing. It’s crazy how fast he’s growing!! I’m so glad we got to collab. We’re definitely not alone in this!!!
I would suggest putting his bed on an incline on his head as he may have silent reflux and when lying on his back his acid rises and hurts his throat. Ditch the swaddle and make the room very very dark. If he is fine in the carrier it may be that he upright. We have the same age baby x
Love this! I have a 3 month old who is also a terrible sleeper! It is so nice to see what people do when they are not getting a nice 1-2 hour nap every few hours! It's constant 1:1 with her, and possibly a 20 minute nap here and there.
Anyone else start manically cheering when he was sleeping in the bassinet?? Such a beautiful family💘
My son was born a few days before yours, he was exactly the same as Jackson not wanting to nap, having to be rocked and put down multiple times, and sometimes just skipping naps all together. Same with night he would wake up so many times and I’d have to have him in my bed. I got so sick of not being able to sleep and having to rock him to sleep I transitioned him out of the swaddle into a sleep sack and sleep trained him using the Ferber method, he did so well so fast with it I was so amazed! Now he can put himself to sleep pretty easily sometimes cries lightly at bedtime but it’s so much easier on me. Maybe it’s time you try to sleep train him? I know you wanted to wait till 6 months, but that’s a long time to have to sleep like this! My sons crib is also in our room still. I love watching you and your beautiful family also. I hope things start to get easier with you and Jackson. ❤️
Hi Kayla!
I would definitely try to put him down for his naps in a dark room. And try to put him down drowsy - not asleep. You also mentioned that he sleeps 30 minutes on average. That is absolutely normal at this age - he still cannot consolidate sleep cycles (1 cycles usually lasts about 30 minutes at that age). My LO sleeps 30 minutes on average as well (he's about a week older than Jackson). After 4th month babies try to consolidate sleep cycles - the naps should start getting longer from that point on.
Thank you for being so real and transparent ❤️ As a first time mom, this reminded me that I’m not alone. Thank you for sharing!
This video has made me feel so much better! I was always watching the angel baby routines and end up feeling so low, the multiple attempts to put him down is so relatable 😭 I always give up and let her nap in my arms which I’m trying to break the habit of so I can actually get something done, it’s such a beautiful yet exhausting time thank you for sharing!!
Am on it now at 3 months,am encouraged
Watching from NairobiKenya
Kayla, do you think that maybe he doesn't like to be swaddled anymore? Just an observation from a mom of 4. I know that by 3 months, I was not swaddling my babies anymore. But Idk, you're his mom, yo know him best!
Oz Nazur I agree with this my baby never liked to be swaddled I tried it in the beginning and realized she likes to sleep with her arm up by her head. I ending up using the swaddle me I think it’s called that allows her arms up and I never had an issue with her sleeping again.
I have a three month old and I stopped swaddling after her first month. She just cannot stand it, so she sleeps tru her naps like a star fish lol but to sleep at night she sleeps on her tummy. I know doctors do not recommend it but it's the most comfortable position for her and I can't do anything to change it. The only issue I have with my little girl is her schedule, she will fall asleep at 2 am!! And them she sleeps for 5 hours. I'm working on that.
If your baby doesn't like to be swaddled you're doing it wrong. Health professionals recommend swaddling up until 6months.
Emily Lewis recommended to comfort the baby but not necessary. My baby loves to sleep with her arms up and to this day still day.
@@jennyrodriguez4882 Indeed. You can still Swaddle with arms up like you said earlier in the post.
Omg I LOVE your video. Makes me feel like I'm not alone.. we are struggling with naps too. First time mom here.. and it's nice to see something real.
You are doing a great job.
Everything I see or read is about routine and everything being perfect and having a new born is not perfect. Every day is SO different.
Thanks for sharing something real!
This is so realistic! Thank you for posting it. My baby is 11 weeks and thankfully a bit better of a sleeper, but I so appreciate seeing another mama with a schedule that is real life and perfectly lining up on the dot.
We have a 2 month old baby boy. We put black out curtains in our room to help him distinguish nap time/nighttime vs daytime. When he’s in a dark room he sleeps better. Just a suggestion. Your family is so cute. I’m a new viewer and I love watching your videos! You’re doing a great job!
that is absolutely my life right now, espiecally the lots if rocking and multiple attempts for nap time.. oooh
Are u breastfeeding right now? I have got a question, do u drink coffee when u breastfeeding?
@@feizhu5164 please ma'am tell me I also have the same question my one month 20 days old baby does this all time. I hope ur baby is fine. I'm frustrated when it I'll stop. I'm breastfeeding can I drink coffee tea and he doesn't poop for 2 3 days is it normal
Hooray! A 30 minute vlog is exactly what I needed to pass the morning feeding time 🎉 I hope you guys are all staying safe and doing well!
Lady And The Truck Me too!
I came here to say this is the most realistic baby video I’ve seen!! It made me feel like I wasn’t alone in the nap struggle! Thank you!! It really was helpful
Your baby is so adorable. The 20 minute naps are such an issue for me at the mo! Nice to see I’m not the only one
My sleep journey with my son was very, very similar. It could be so demoralizing and plain exhausting. I tried almost everything. But just ended up co-sleeping until he was 1 yr old. I know everyone flames on it, but you have to do what you can to keep your sanity.
When my boy was 10-12 months I converted his crib (that he never slept in) to a toddler bed and pulled it up flesh to my bed. So I’d rock him to sleep and then shift him over in his bed. If he woke up, I’d put him back in his crib and pretend to sleep. I did this until he understood that he slept the there.
But I know you sleep trained Riley, so ignore all that. Lol!
Jemi my goodness idk why they’re such terrible sleepers lol but yes I’ve cried a lot of tears of frustration lately. Trying to not let it get to me too much!
Kayla Buell dear plz dont over frustrate yourself with crying as it doesnt help nor does any good to either of you. We r in the same boat. My LO (2mnths) has the same sleep habit. I rock her like 20 min or so for every nap and night sleep.
Your son reminds me of my son a lot. He also had trouble sleeping and still does. During the newborn phase we stopped swaddling and that helped he liked having his hands up.
Hi Kayla. Just saw your video and I really like your realistic life with Jackson. I have 3 month and 22 days baby boy. I also had trouble with his daytime's sleep. I also using a carrier so that he could sleep longer. But now I try to put him on the bed after rocking him to sleep. The longest time he could sleep is 30 mins. And I have to do it for 5-6 times / day so that he can get enough sleep. Sometimes, I will just carry him so that he can sleep more. We don't have routine because it always changed everyday. Sometimes, I feel like a loser and exhausted but seeing his face and smile give me strength to continue living our life. I believe that every mom have their own difficulties dealing with their children. Stay strong mommies!
Have you considered a sleep sack instead of a swaddle or swaddling him with his arms out or is there not enough room in the Snoo for him to turn over safely, should he decide to do so? Generally cribs are safer for rolling. Or maybe even try just one arm out? By the way, did you tilt the Snoo so that he's not flat since he seems to hate flat? He struggles so much physically to poop that maybe he is scared he won't be able to writhe enough to get the job done if restricted, confined. He cannot articulate that in words. But as a tiny animal, he has fears that cannot be articulated and some would involve confinement, strictures. He is probably not having that many startle reflex episodes anymore. On the other hand, how would you know because he doesn't sleep long enough at night for you to notice when that happens, but then he soothes himself back to sleep. Jackson just may never settle until he's in a crib in his room and cannot no longer see, hear, smell you during the night. Your bedroom is pretty bright for sleep. You'll have to try things and see what happens during the upcoming sleep regression and developmental leap. He does crack me up with the little partial scowl on his brow with his chin planted on his chest, doubling it. Too funny. Oh, check out the look on his face during tummy time! That baby is observing all that he can get into as soon as he figures out how to move from that spot. He is not missing a thing. LOL. It's hard to tell on an edited vlog, but you do seem to pick him up quickly when he starts to grumble while awake in the Mama Roo or when he complains and kicks in the Snoo. Lots of babies begin to let you know they are hungry or don't want to take this nap you're insisting upon by grumbling a bit. Does his always escalate into screaming of some duration? He has been so sweet and grumbled some today. And we haven't had a poop vigil! LOL. Jackson seems to love his bath. And, again, note he is at an incline while being bathed. His laugh is sweet, but he looked scared when Riley screamed. That noise was not a happy or funny one to him. He is a smart, alert baby. Is it possible he does not stay awake for 2-3 hours because he is not taking long enough naps that include a full sleep cycle now and then throughout the day? He really did look tired again when you had Riley say goodnight to us. How many ounces is he drinking at a feed? He should be able to hold enough in his belly to sleep longer now. It's hard to tell when nursing the baby. Oh Kayla, this is so hard. But I am concerned about his eating and sleeping habits for his sake, too. If something brilliant occurs to me that we've all overlooked, I'll let you know. I'll keep praying.
The fuck did i just read
My son still struggles with sleeping/staying asleep, still on the struggle bus! Thank you for posting & still making content through this☺️🖤
Honestly you are doing a good job I thought me doing this with my baby was like neglectful but that was my mind going all over the place but I realized this is normal to and I'm in the 3rd month of my little girls life and I just wanted to say thank you for this video it gave me reassurance that everything will be alright no matter how hard it gets
Dear but for naps the room should be a bit darker no?
You are seriously my favorite UA-cam mom channel. I love how realistic your videos are! I also have a 2 year old daughter and I’m expecting a little boy in about 4 weeks! Your videos make me feel less stressed and overwhelmed about the 1-2 kid transition. I love how positive you are. Thanks for keeping it real. You are doing an amazing job momma! Jackson & Riley are adorable 😍.
Hi Kayla, I loved this video! My baby was born on the 12th of December and she is exactly like little Jackson! She never naps in her bassinet either and always just wants to sleep in my arms, you are so patient trying to get him to sleep in the Snoo, I hope he starts to like it soon but I definitely know how hard it is, we have this beautiful bassinet for our daughter and she just wants to sleep on me! But I am loving every minute and cherish every snuggle with her. I actually just discovered that she too likes to sleep on my bed so I feed my baby and then leave her to nap on the bed at least I can have usually about an hour to get things done which is great, I think the warmth of the bed after I have just fed her helps a lot and maybe that is why they don't love the bassinet naps because it is cold and they prefer to me warm with their Mama :)
My baby too sleeps in bed with me during the night and we have had some super fussy nights lately too so I know what you are going through! It is so nice to see you and your family and know that I am not going through this all alone, especially during this time with the Coronavirus and we can't even get out to Mother's groups or to visit Grandma. I am glad that you are able to nurse Jackson now, you must be really happy about that, I am already looking forward to your next video!
Dani Edwards my son was born December 12 too! He’s been super fussy as well and prefers to sleep with me. It’s much easier tho since I’m
Breastfeeding!
Thank you for always being so realistic! I feel your pain, moms are literally superheroes!
Thank you... I'm a first-time mom, and my baby doesn't sleep much
Seeing your video really helped me...
So realistic
Thank youuu
Thank you for this! As everyone else said, good to know I'm not alone. What's the app you use to track everything?
This is very helpful! I’m currently pregnant and was looking for a realistic day in the life with a newborn to understand more or less what to expect when the baby gets here. Thank you for sharing this!
A suggestion from a grandma of 5 … I do believe he is fighting the swaddle and also a dark room will let him know that it’s sleep time… also it looks like side sleeping with something at his back comforts him also we put rice cereal in a bottle of formula/breastmilk at bedtime (suggested by his pediatrician) and it helped …you can tell me to shut up lol but I’m just trying to think of something that might help you …… remember persistence and yes easier said than done……… you’re a great mommy!!!
Hi Eunice what rice cereal did you use and can a 3 month old have rice cereal please
@@nataliejacques-poku9834 anything added to a bottle is a choking hazard. It's not recommended to add cereal or anything to a bottle unless recommended by a doctor
I've been a nanny for over a decade and I agree with all you said! I'm only 29 but very thankful for a big family and having the experience I have with babies. My 4 month old has slept 12 hrs a night since beginning and a wonderful napper, he hardly ever cries too! I know personality is a huge factor and he is my only one, so far.....I love babies:))
I LOVED THIS! It made me feel I'm not alone and my baby is no weird thing, thank you, must ditl show perfectly behaved kids, my baby is 3 months and naps are very hard still. Thanks again!!
You are such a great mommy! Doing so good having two especially with Jackson not sleeping he’ll get there hopefully soon!
I thought I was the only one struggling with my three months old baby, thanks for the video it's encouraging me to be patient .
Loved this video Jackson smile is so cute I love how much Jackson smiles to his sister so adorable❤️ thanks for sharing
Tiffany Green thanks Tiffany! Really appreciate you always watching! Lol and right?! I love how they look at eachother. It’s so cute!
feeding to sleep helps and blacked out room, the room looks to be very bright.
I definitely relate to you, my boy is 3 months too, thanks for showing the reality you live which is similar for a lot of moms🙋🏽♀️ it’s nice to see we are not alone and motivates to keep on going to whatever works best without feeling guilty, thanks for sharing 👌🏾
You're such a wonderful mum, your patience is just amazing. You're doing a great job!
Thanks for the refreshing realism
A very realistic video! Watching this while Bub is currently napping past the 20min mark (just praying she goes for a bit longer!). Feel your frustration and hope his sleeping is getting better
Thank you so much. I also started tearing up watching you rock your child. It looks so similar to my current life!
by watching you deal with 2 kids, it gives me tips for when i decide to have children of my own
Muna Farah I’m so so glad! 💙💙
would you consider doing a video about baby essentials that you would recommend?
omg! that laugh was so adorable and when riley screamed he stopped and looked at her like what the heck? lol
Lmaoooo right? He was like ok this girl is crazy 😂😂😂
Had I rough night with my little one last just getting her to sleep. Until I finally gave up and just let her sleep in our bed. This makes me feel so much better about my decision. Thank you!
I just love how real you are Kayla!!! Thank you for sharing such a realistic view into motherhood ❤️
You're doing amazing! Well done. I love that it's a realistic video and I wish I had seen more videos like this before I had my baby (he's 9 months now) but during these stages I struggled so bad as I had never seen content where it showed what it was truly like. I would have been slightly more prepared mentally but anyway....lol
it's the first time I watched a video, that doesn't make me feel bad about me, cos all the others are showing how amazing and easy it is to keep them cool and quiet. Thanks, I also struggle with the sleeping schedule with my baby
I love these videos! I have a 1 year old and I'm due with #2 in August so I like seeing what I'm in for. My daughter was also a horrible sleeper and still a pretty bad napper. It's so hard but sometimes there just isn't an answer! You handle it all so well and it's inspiring me. ❤
Im in early labor , so I’m up and waiting to see if I can switch my ob appointment from tomorrow to today. Happy for the video ❣️
I also realize I probably sound delusional lol I slept 2hrs , had contractions all night
I hope that you and your baby are okay. Stay strong.
Raven Richardson ahhhh!! Congrats mama! Wishing you nothing but the best!
Thank you guys 😭❤️
Congrats! 👣
I watched you through my pregnancy and now I have a baby girl who just turned 3 months. I love watching your videos so that I feel like I have a friend who’s going through the same thing. Keep going mama you got this!!!
Just a thought, maybe try unswaddling him? My girl was like this in her first few weeks and when we took her out of her swaddle she slept beautifully. That’s when we realised she loves having her arms out and she moves quite a lot in her sleep. She only wakes up for her feeds every 3.5-4 hours and falls right back asleep xxx
Have you tried a sleep sack instead of the swaddle? It looks like he doesnt like being confined in the swaddle.
Hey Kayla! In your experience since Jackson doesn’t sleep well in the daytime, does he sleep throughout the night or for long stretches at night? I have the opposite problem, my daughter naps well in the day time but wants to stay up at night.
Such a great video this is my life right now and I feel like it’s normal to not have a perfect sleeper. Keep it up!!!
I literally love how I’m not the only one who sleeps with my baby! Thank you for being so realistic 😍
Dang this baby in so freakin cute 🥰 My nephew was born in december too, I miss him so much ! I'm so happy to see that you can breastfeed Jackson again 😘
Léa Tranier thank you!! And yes, I’m really happy especially during these crazy times. One less thing to have to worry about - like not having to go out and find formula.
You are seriously the freaking best momma! I just had my baby boy (1st time momma) January 23rd and I’ve been watching since I found out I was pregnant back in May of 2019! I look up to you so much and you so the real was of momma life!
Have you heard of the Taking Cara Babies class? I would highly recommend it! I’d also try darkening the room that he sleeps in.
Thanks for sharing this because it' so realistic and genuine ❤❤❤
I wish I had found your channel when I had a newborn. My son and Jackson are so similar in every way. My son never slept in his bassinet. Our record was 40mins. And at 3 months he took 45 min naps, down to the second. So watching this video I feel so justified. I got judged from family and friends and I took his problems with sleeping on to myself. It’s was my fault why he doesn’t sleep in a bassinet, my fault that he doesn’t sleep through the night, my fault why he spits up so much. Seeing your videos makes me feel like I did what I had to do and there is nothing wrong with them. Our babies are perfect , they just need a little help in the sleep dept.
Just stumbled upon your channel and you are deff my new favorite UA-camr mama! I have a 21 month toddler and I am 29 weeks pregnant with baby #2 so thanks for the insight and keeping it real!
This was refreshing to see. I have a 6 week old who is a horrible sleeper as well and ultimately we had to do what was best for everyone and our sanity and let him sleep with me in bed. He just cries and cries and it takes a TON of rocking to get him asleep. It’s frustrating but I know it’s temporary. We’re all in this together! Well besides the lucky moms with the angel babies lol
My daughter is almost 3 months and I’ve done my own twist on swaddling her now because she likes to have her arms free and up when she sleeps. When we go to bed.. I swaddle her lightly from her stomach down leaving her arms exposed so she can do whatever with them. She seems to enjoy that more since she used to break completely out of her swaddle every night anyhow.
Many others have mentioned this in your comments but I’d like to also say that maybe he’d prefer not being swaddled. I have a 5yr old and a 6 week old and I never tried swaddling but I know my 6 week old would never sleep with it. She moves so much while she sleeps. She sleeps for at least 1-2 hours at a time which is not super great but every now and then She will sleep for 3.5 hours. I totally feel ya having to rock him to sleep. My first baby girl would only go to sleep if she was rocked and it was soooo hard. Especially once she started to get bigger because I couldn’t walk around with her for long before my back would be killing me. Luckily so far my newest baby girl sleeps better than my first. All babies are so different 🙂 I love your videos btw! 💕 your an awesome mommy from what I see!
I feel you on the sleep regression. My little guy is 3 1/2 months and we are struggling with sleep. His naps during the day are so short and he won't sleep unless next to me at night.
When you repeat nap time several times that inspire me. As my baby she do the same. 👌
Definitely look into Taking Cara Babies, and an eat play sleep schedule!
Hello, I have a 3 month old too. I was wondering if you would be sharing your sleep training journey with Jackson too? It would be amazing to be going through that with you at the same time for some solidarity!
Thank you for your video!
Ps my child also doesn’t sleep! X
You brought me down to earth! I was thinking my baby was having a problem with the naps. But, now I can see, he's not the only one cause he's sleeping for like 40 minute on average. At least , thanks God he's sleeping well at night.
Have you tried letting him sleep on his stomach? I've been watching you videos on and off for years, but pretty regularly since Jackson was born because I'm pregnant now with my second! I haven't read the comments so I don't know if has been suggested before. Sorry if I am part of the broken record, or if I'm part of the neverending stream of unsolicited advice. Wishing you the best of luck.
I agree! I think back sleeping is for the birds! I can’t sleep on my back, so I never expected my kids to. They were born in the 80’s, before all this back sleeping started. I bet he would have slept better on his stomach.
My little one is a bad sleeper too. Every time it’s time for a nap or bedtime he cries and screams! It take me two to three hours each time to put him to sleep! I hope it gets better and he gets the rest he needs. Your doing awesome love your channel!
Thank you for this real video! I have the same sleep routine with my baby. And I feel normal! Thank you! ❤
Oh goodness I’m so glad I’m not the only one with a baby that will NOT stay asleep in the bassinet lol. She will sleep for maybe 10 minutes and wakes up immediately. My girl lives in the carrier 🥴
And my girl wakes up cranky every time lol!
Thank you for making this so raw and real!
You are a super mom! I don’t know how you do it, but you are amazing. Thank you for your videos, I always look forward to them!
You’re a great mom and I’m glad I found your channel. It has been so relatable for a new mom like me. ☺️
Thank you for this video, I have a six weeks baby girl and and she don’t sleep a lot at night and keeps moving during sleep and I keep seeing other videos and their kids sleeps through the night and I wonder what should I do , but seeing you made me feel that it’s ok and not all kids sleep for hours
my daughter was exactly the same, I tried everything and nothing works. at the end I decided to sleep trained her at 10 months. It was a very tough decision. I totally understand the frustration and exhaustion. Hang on there mama , you are not alone.
A tip for the snoo put a clock that tik unted the sheet that he can hear it because it sound like your haertbeat then
Around 3 months I started reading to my son a book right before every nap and even tho he didn’t understand the book it helped him learn it was sleep time
This was so sweet! You are doing an amazing job taking care of Jackson. I struggle with the same kind of issues with my baby girl and it really is no joke, I have tried a lot of things (and still am) but I realized some babies are just not so good at sleeping. Thank you for keeping it real and your consistent uploads, I recently found your channel and subscribed because of your honest content. Hugs from Mexico!
The most relatable newborn routine ever 😭😂
I’m watching all your videos trying to decide if I want to take the plunge into motherhood. 😂❤️I’m now 30 with no kids, I’m married, and we have pets, as well as a couple of horses, and I have NO idea how I would do it. However, I know people do... they make it work. Thanks for sharing your life with us!
such a realistic routine. Can truly relate as I have a 3 month old
Are you not doing the takingcarababies anymore? I know you mentioned it before but I think all her tips would def help.
I saw he moves like he cant get comfy in the swaddle. Around 3 months they start to move alot and roll. I would try a nap or two with out the swaddle in the bassinet. He may sleep longer. Swaddles are mostly for newborn till around 2months. So he may be not getting comfy!
My little one gets over tired like he does. Fights sleep even though they're tired. Now, at first sign of sleepyness (yawning, eye rubbing, sneezing, back arching) , i Swaddle, rest on side and rock crib. Cry for 5 mins and then fall to sleep. Worked a treat for past 2 weeks. Little one just 12 weeks now!
This is so real!! Thanks for inspiring me to make my own videos! ❤️
Really love your videos. We want kids soon and I'm so happy to have people like you that help others and even help with products that you actually need. Your an amazing mama Kayla!!
In Belgium it’s okay to sleep train if they’re 4 months.. even now if you want. Maybe he needs dark places? I hope he’ll sleep better soon! Good job momma!
Jackson is adorable, thank you for your video.
He'll be about two years old now it's 2022 at the moment in December. This is the UK.
I have been following for a while now and I really enjoy your videos. You’re doing a great job! I went through the same thing with my baby with the sleeping trouble but after a month I stopped swaddling her and she became a great sleeper. Just thought I would share with you. Good luck mama!!
Now that you are back to nursing, do you pump at all? I'm having such a hard time with doing both.
Grisel V no lately I haven’t been pumping. I’ve just been nursing. I know it’s a lot to feed and then pump. Not easy at all. Hang in there mama!
I'm going back to work in a few weeks and I'm starting to pump so I can build a stash for my husband and family. I've been pumping one bottle in the mornings after I feed the little dude and it's been working nice!
@@KaylaBuell Not easy at all. I've been mostly pumping and nursing at night because I have anxiety about the fact that idk how much he is eating. Lol. Thank you for the reply. Love your videos. Very relatable.
Are you Cuban btw? I hear you say gordi all the time and that's what we call our babies in the family 🤣
@@Car071n4 Thank you!
Try to avoid carrier naps . So may be if he gets tired he will go to sleep in the base-net
Thanks so much for your video!! My baby is exactly the same as Jackson...and as a first time mom I thought I was doing something very wrong..since all my friends have perfect babies that sleep 6h at night by 3 months.
For curiosity.., when did Jackson start to sleep longer during the night?
