    This video made me cry my eyes out. I’ve watched you since you were YOUNG when the page was just for you making cloth pads and selling them, now look at you Bri! You’re a mom, and an AMAZING one at that! God I’m so proud of you m8 ❤️

    Thank you for sharing some of Oryn's precious newborn days with us, he's grown so much since then, but even at four weeks he was very alert and strong! Lovely to see your Mum too. Love and hugs to you all x

    You are going to be an amazing mom !!! I raised two sons as a single mom and they are now 15 and 24 years old. They are both amazing , smart and successful in their endeavors and it’s been the greatest joy of my life being their mother. Best wishes 💐

    There was something about when you were getting Oryn ready on the bed and then that subtly proud smirk on your lovely mum's face as she walked in and saw you putting him down ♥️ Such simple but special moments caught on camera of these early newborn days and I can tell your mum (and I'm sure your dad) is just so proud to see her own baby smash parenthood. I'm very close with my mum so to see your mum's reaction made me tear up. Always wonderful to have a village to help in those earlier days too. Motherhood really suits you Bryony ♥️

    Oh my gosh! I haven't watched you in years but your story about wanting to be a solo parent has stuck with me for YEARS, as I've considered taking that path. I really related with your stories about always wanting a child, even from a young age, and doing tons of work with other kids to prepare for that! I'm SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe you did it!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH! CONGRATS!!

    Oryn is adorable.
    Sometimes if you have a fast let down baby will unlatch a lot. ( had same issue with my little man)
    What you can do is express your first let down then latch him.
    Breast pads didn't really work for me especially in the beginning. We had to use collection cups. It saved tops while collecting milk to put in freezer.

    Beautiful baby! Disappointing to see you using a 'cushion' pod to put him down for naps. Babies should only put down in their crib/cot on a firm mattress so risk of Sudden Infant Death is minimised. Everyone do follow The Lullaby Trust for safe sleeping. Our baby died to Sudden Unexplained Infant Death. The pain of losing your baby stays with you forever.

    I'm a SMBC. I'm so happy that you had your parents. That's priceless. I only had my sister. She has an infant child and a toddler so she couldn't help as much,. I'm disappointed in my parents. I thought they were great parents but when i got pregnant they were judgemental and don't really subscribe to SMBC. They visited for 2 days when my daughter was 2 months old. It makes me sad when I see others getting support from their parents. I thought my parents would be happy for me and be supportive but.😢😢😢😢

    So glad to see you doing well in motherhood. I am single mother by choice too and it’s nice to see others too. I was wondering if you’ve used a Hakkaa while breastfeeding on the other side to catch the let down, I know I got so much extra as an over supplier too.

    For supply issues, make sure you’re drinking lots of water. Everytime you sit down to nurse, drink a whole cup of water. Also try not to offer the bottle. The more you nurse, the more he will tell your body to make milk. Especially during a growth spurt, you’ll think he’s not getting enough because he wants to eat so often and you feel empty, but he is signaling your body to increase your supply. Hang in there!

I nursed my daughter until she decided to wean herself (which ended up being after 3 years) and I’ll never forget when she was almost 2, we were in church and she started shouting boob and hitting my chest lol. It made me think of that when you told Oryn boobies coming .

    Please read into car seat safety, baby shouldn’t wear a pram suit in the car seat (if travelling) as it will create a lot of space if in a collision this could be extremely dangerous.
    Also if he hates his car seat you may find a more upright seat he may prefer such as the Avionaut sky or Axkid One+, these are the bets on the market xx

    This is a really beautiful video , and very informative. You have a natural way about you which makes people want to keep watching, but if you don't mind me saying you are supposed to support the babies head/neck with your hand which i don't see you doing. This is vital until they are about 4 months old.
