Even though I am a physician and studied child development, as a new mother I needed to hear just keep baby alive for first 3 months!! It is true. Eating and sleeping is how their brain is growing 😂 plus snuggling and looking at them
Yep 🤣 my son will be 3 months in a few days and already does so much stuff just from normal socialization from our daily routine. I'm now getting to where we need to find toys and stuff for him to play with since he's more bored now!
Can i just say ive watched tour channel for a while but ive always felt i couldnt comment bc i didnt have my own child just yet haha..im happy to say i have a healthy lil girl who is 7 weeks old today and ive gotten so much advice and tips and encouragement from you and your husband and beautiful family. I am in recovering heroin addict and i had a spiritual experience that saved me about 2 yrs ago and since then u have been a huge help for my mental health. Thank you very much for the strength you give me and god bless you jess!!!
I'm part of Jess' FB group and it's so great! Every mom there is so positive and very helpful in any way that they possibly can be and they give great advice! I'm a FTM so there's a lot of FTM and experienced moms on there helping us out! I highly recommend it!
I am a new father, baby is a few days old. I love her so much :)... I'm a Nurse/ NP student so a lot of what keeps going through my head is her development as she grows. I will be taking your advice to hope to have more active learning, like your daughter to want to learn or have fun without electronics being the forefront.
I follow the montissori method with my 9 month old and you would be surprised by the things that young baby's can do. My son has thrived with my chosen methods of parenting (momma ain't always doing so well tho). We aren't able to follow the montessori method completely because of our living arrangements and funds. If anyone is looking for some fantastic montessori education search up hapa family on UA-cam. I think that their family is great and I take alot of inspiration from them.
I don't have kids yet, and it won't be another couple years yet, but I love watching the Hapa Family Montessori series. She's so encouraging too that you don't need to be a millionaire to follow Montessori ideas. I hope your Montessori journey keeps working! X
It'll be so fast! I feel like my baby was just born and he'll be 3 months in a few days! He's started to grab things and be more aware of things going on, and it's so crazy to think of how much he's changed just in the past couple of weeks!
Amazing Job Jess! I feel like you are an actual person and not those fake perfect moms that nailed everything! Love love to see how your journey is helping us that we watch your videos. I think of your channel as a Ministry for Moms and wife! Wonderful work!
Hi Jess - thank you for doing what you do. Everyone is having a tough time right now and your friendly and genuine personality is a mood booster. I hope you and your family are all well. Love from the east coast.
etsy is a great great great place for baby toys i searched “nature baby toys” and fell down a rabbit hole of the best stuff and most of it is wooden i love love love these ones that are like wooden mushroom, bug, solar system, moon phase, and plant identification puzzle toys and i saw these really cool wooden mushroom forageing basket AHHH and like these wooden forest and bear cave landscapes with people and animals and plants and such that you still up and move around boutta buy dem all for my nephew asap no rocky OMG AND I SAW A SNAIL RATTKE AND A MUSHROOM RATTLE WITH A TEETHING RING
Watching this in 2023, awaiting the arrival of my first baby and just loving Jess's videos for her super humble and sometimes hilarious demeanor. 12:38 "who in their right mind would have 3 kids?" You did, Jess😂😂😂
I love this! Thank you for the tips. I'd like to share something that's worked for me. I was given golden advice from a family member and that was to not give my baby to drink water from a sippy cup, allow them to drink from an open cup. I found a happy medium, it's one of those specially designed cups that don't spill but allow the baby to drink as if from an adult cup, although I usually unscrew the contraption and leave it as a normal cup. It's great, my boy is 8 months now and drinks like us, no choking on water, a little dribble now and then. He also enjoys holding the cup and moving it up to bring the water to his mouth, of course I still have to hold it for him. This means I don't have to transition him to a cup when he's older. One less thing to worry about
A suggestion I heard is that if you do get tons of battery powered toys as gifts and you don't want them to go to waste, or you want to make a transition to this style of learning with toys you already have, just take those batteries out. Voila! 😊
As a daycare worker, yes yes yes always involve the kids in daily chores like dishes! It's something new and special for them, while also teaching them responsibility (depending on their age, of course). Plus, you can always make it special by choosing only one child to help you with the job, so it'll make the others want to do it more (if they're similar in age). Love your advice!
I don’t have kids but I work with children for a living but I also work with families who do not always put their child’s education first. This video is so encouraging for me. I love it. You are doing a great job! Babies have to explore to learn!!! And you’re so right, you don’t have to spend tons on baby toys. Quality not quantity!
Why do some cultures (most notably Arab, American and Japanese) breastfeed their daughters longer than sons? I read somewhere that some moms will nurse their daughter's longer so that they will grow up more pretty /cute etc. Granted my cousin sister was breastfed for nearly 4 years and her facial features are so angelic. Obviously these American, Japanese and Arab mothers must be on to something as they probably want their little girls to grow up into cherubic, small nosed hollywood actresses, belly dancers and cosplay models respectively!
Wow, thank you so much for this validing video, Jessica. My first baby is 16 days old, and I've been the one watching those Grow Your Baby's Brain 0-3 months videos, freaking myself out because I don't have any freaking toys or stimulating objects yet. I bought a black and white book and he loves it, but that's it. I've cried so many times already and it's also just so isolating right now with what's going on~ but thank you for this video, you're great.
Hello Jess! I love your videos and as a new mum myself I find them very interesting! However, this time I really have the urge to wbite this comment: pulling up the babies by the hands ad arms, to make them sit or stand when they're not doing it yet by themselves can be really dangerous for their core and spine, since the muscles are not ready and strong enough to support them! This is something, that a lot of people don't know yet, and even pediatricians don't say it to the new parents, but the are many studies on that and physiotherapists are always stressing that it may cause serious problems with spine and posture of the child in the future. There are many other exercices that are helping with strenghtening the core muscles, but I always recommend to contact a physiotherapist on this matter. All the best!
This video showed up at the top of the search for "montessori baby" and there's no solid info on the topic in this video. If that's what you're looking for I would look elsewhere. Seemed more like a chit-chat session than informational.
Love this! Thank you! Baby girl is 7mo and I love watching her play. My husband will some times let her watch tv with him if he’s watching her while I’m gone and I want to focus more on focused entertainment instead of passive like you mentioned. We have only 2 battery powered toys and some times I feel bad about that but now I feel better.
You make me feel so much better as a mom❤️ When you said to make your baby smart from 0-3 months, keep them alive, I was like oh thank god because that’s honestly all I did. Thank you for your videos and how sensitive you are to the mom struggles💕
Oh he's gotten so big 😩 I remember when Wilson was only a couple months old when I found your channel because I was pregnant, and now my son is how old Wilson was when I first found you 😍 They grow way too fast!
I went to college for Early Childhood Education, and student taught at a Montessori school and absolutely loved it! The kids were so cute and smart and I loved that they would clean up after themselves and learn how to do things like sweeping, pouring their water ect. I feel like it sets them up for "real" life made fun; instead of always saying they are bored when they get older...I guess we'll see if I can instill these things in my own child when it arrives lol.
Ur doppelgänger! On Netflix ‘love is blind’. I’ve forgotten the girls name, I think it was Amber. Just came across your channel and thought you looked so familiar 🤣
My son is 5 weeks old today and your videos have been helping me since I got home! Not able to get any help during quarantine so I appreciate your content! This is my first child and your calmness and advice makes me feel like I can actually be the mom I hope to be! Thank you!
I think just let him put the things in his mouth. He might (have been) teething? My boy is turning 6mo next week and most of his playtime involves chewing, licking, and biting on things he has within reach - whether that's a toy, household object, or the dining table itself!
GAH! This is the second time I've seen those soft crinkle blocks on someones youtube video. Where did you get them?! I've been trying to hunt them down with no luck!
I’m a recent subscriber and love you! You’re so honest/blunt and easy to listen to. Thank youuuu. I’m not even a mom (yet! :) ) but I love listening to your baby videos. Just curious : what other subjects did you make content on before? What did you talk about? I’d love to see what else you’re into :)
You cannot make your child smarter’ - Your child’s intelligence has been predetermined by your genes. I think the term you’re looking for is how to ‘educate’ your child.
"Who in their right mind would have 3 kids?!"
Well, Jessica.... I have some interesting news about your future.
"who in their right mind would have three kids? " ahahahahah whoops.
Wasn’t she already pregnant at that point?
@@emmilyn362 haha dunno it's possible

"I would say bring doughnuts"
"Who in their right mind would have 3 kids???" 🤣 just found your channel from your 1st trimester video so that cracked me up
“Who in their right mind would have three kids...” lol!!! wasn’t she pregnant here and didn’t know it? 😂😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼
"We'll do the learning after three months" love it!
Thank you!! :)

I don't have kids yet, but I love watching your videos! They are so informative and I love your uplifting spirit :)
The more you learn not the easier it is when you’re busy taking care of yourself being pregnant
My son is only two weeks old so he's just sleeping and eating thus far but one day I'll use this advice :)
Omg same for my little one! I was worried how I had to hold them so much but now I know it’s the fourth trimester for them
It'll be so fast!
I feel like my baby was just born and he'll be 3 months in a few days! He's started to grab things and be more aware of things going on, and it's so crazy to think of how much he's changed just in the past couple of weeks!
One person I actually watch all adds for.
This is Montessori style parenting and it’s interesting. I’m reading all the books about it. Highly recommend!!

I feel like all social media Moms are just so clean, organised and tidy ... This is real life chaos, LOVE it ! :D
Hey what would you suggest for at home parents I have to work 6-8 hours a day in office with baby 1-2 yearokds

Oh he's gotten so big 😩 I remember when Wilson was only a couple months old when I found your channel because I was pregnant, and now my son is how old Wilson was when I first found you 😍 They grow way too fast!
The Montessori Toddler by Simone Davies is a easy read and a great resource if anyone is interested in learning more about this method.

Cameron particularly useful for boys
@@caterinas6863 Good to know! I'll find out the gender of my little babe at the end of this month :D
Such a great video Jess! I freakin love your vibe! 💗 Thank you!
You are the best! I love your videos!!
This video feels so personal like a one on one conversation idk how lol i dont even have kids
I find that my Little guy likes the books in stages! So I hide them and they resurface later! That way he doesn’t get bored!
“Bring donuts” this is why I love you 😂
Anyone watching this after she has 3 kids 😂
We should be real life friends 😂
Ur doppelgänger! On Netflix ‘love is blind’. I’ve forgotten the girls name, I think it was Amber. Just came across your channel and thought you looked so familiar 🤣
Confirmation to turn this off
Him her him her wtf?
My precious little guy is about to hit the 2 month mark and this was so encouraging!!! THANK YOU☺️
3 Seconds in and OMG he is too cute!!!!!
Just clicked on this after your baby announcement, and your “who would have three kids?!” banter was especially funny 😂
I love this thank u so much I’m a first time mom an have a 4 month old I love him so much but damn it’s hard sometimes
My son is 5 weeks old today and your videos have been helping me since I got home! Not able to get any help during quarantine so I appreciate your content! This is my first child and your calmness and advice makes me feel like I can actually be the mom I hope to be! Thank you!
Yas! Just keep your human alive 😂❤️ ...and your postpartum self! Love them and they will strive! 🤪
I love you. YOu are cool, you are sweet and kind.
Happy Easter! Wow, Wilson's growing fast. Lovely boy XX
What are you using for filming and editing?
I just adore your videos! You're such an encouragement! Love these ideas! ❤️
My baby is 6 months and I dont know how to play with any toy with him because he simply put everything in the mouth :( what should I do?
I think just let him put the things in his mouth. He might (have been) teething? My boy is turning 6mo next week and most of his playtime involves chewing, licking, and biting on things he has within reach - whether that's a toy, household object, or the dining table itself!
"I would bring donuts" LOVE it
I’m one of the people who asked you to do this. Yay!!! Thank you!
The dings are too loud :(
"who in their right mind would have three babies"
what the other web site you suggest , montikids and what is the other site ?
thank you :)
is it the "lovevery" ?
Love love love your pants! So cute!
Check out busy boards.
GAH! This is the second time I've seen those soft crinkle blocks on someones youtube video. Where did you get them?! I've been trying to hunt them down with no luck!
Ashley Joy probably the baby toy subscription box she was talking about.
Courtney Shannon you’re right! After some poking around I found them in the 3-6 month subscription box for the Panda Crate with KiwiCo!
Ashley Joy Oh good! It always sucks when you can’t find the awesome baby toys you see in these videos! It’s happen to me to many times lolol
This is so good
Is the group open to dads ?
My 9 month olds current favourite toy is 3 of those red plastic cups 😂
SAME I have no idea why, but he loves them. He's gonna be a pro at beer pong by his first birthday
Amazing inspo!
I love you 🙏🏽
Wilson is sooo cute 🥺
♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks for this. Great advice. Please beware with craft toys like the maracas. The paint may contain lead and would be fatal to your baby.
