ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Ysis, full-time mummy to toddler James and baby Isabella, permanently sleep deprived and lover of all things tech & beauty! My husband and I live in Wales but I'm originally from Brazil, and together we both believe that family is the most precious thing in our lives.
I am a gentle, but firm parent, still finding my way through this complicated world of motherhood with 2 young children, winging it most days, carrying a lot of love in my heart and some serious under-eye bags.
I'm a qualified lawyer, turned blogger & vlogger. I use my videos to share a bit of everything from makeup to mummy updates. Bottom line is, I'm just another mummy doing my best to juggle life, work, kids, house, family, friends & my own self, without losing my sanity!
I would describe myself as a very happy, positive, honest and loyal person; online shopping is my arch-enemy!

Here is how I cope with 2 under 2 + some top tips for parents with young kids. Having 2 children under 2 years old is challenging. It's been a big learning curve for us but we finally feel like things are getting a bit more manageable! ❤️
Ysis Lorenna Just wanna thank you for the English videos kinda helped a lot and my name is also James😘😘
5 years on this video is still so informative and helpful. While I feel I am drowning caring for both my toddler and my newborn I am looking around for tips on how to remain sane while I do it.
My boys are 14mths apart and I cried the first night when we came home from the hospital. It’s hard but it will gets better. I love how they are so close now and they are the best friends. Wouldn’t do it any other way:)
Mine too I have 2 under 2 for long time it felt like she was 14 M when I had her brother I cried too a lot.
Me too. 2 under 2.
This is video has reassured me that things will be okay when my second baby arrives. Thankyou !! 😊
This comment is exactly what I was thinking! My second is due in 6 weeks and my son will be 2 a week later.
My daughter will be 14 months when my second is born! Im so scared!
am pregnant, and son is two... thank God I found this video.. am so scared thinking how am I going to work this out. My thoughts are exactly like hers. Asking for help seems to be a task for me..
Robin Barker omg I am on the same boat right now 😩😩😩😩 my son is turning 2 in 15 days and I am 6 weeks pregnant
Your smart. Im here because 3 weeks ago, i became a mom of 2 under 2 and didnt really anticipate how hard it would be lol
My kids are about 21 months apart, it's a tricky thing to have kids so close in age. I found that when my son was around 26 months or so, things improved so much. His communication skills and independence seemed to develop so much. Plus the baby would sleep longer and have longer wake times. They are now 13 and 34 months. Days are still unpredictable, but much more manageable. Great video to help parents with multiple young children!
This was so thorough and wonderful. I just found out I’m pregnant again and I have a 5 month old. Thank you so much for this!!!
I have 21 months toddler and am 40 weeks pregnant thanks for releaving some of my fears great content
Hope everything has gone well and you got to meet your new baby❤️
So glad you posted this! I'm a solo parent most of the time and our families are hundreds of miles away too. I find bedtime incredibly stressful at the moment and I dread it every day. Hopefully once Alice is in a routine it'll get easier, but you are my inspiration knowing that in time it's more manageable. You're an amazing mum! Xx
Great tips! My 3rd baby practically live in the baby carrier. He loved it. And it helped me get so much done around the house and with my two older ones. He is 2 yrs old now and I still wear him from time to time!! Good luck with those those two beautiful kids. Your doing such a great job.
Scary the minute you come home from the hospital and the first night, so much you need to adjust too. Thank goodness my husband was hope for the first few weeks, otherwise I don't think I could have coped mentally and physically.
I watch your channel since a couple of months. I really like that you are so open and you share your experiences with us :)
Literally I do not know how you do it! Well done Ysis, amazing mumma xx
Just came across this video as I have a 16 month old and I'm 33 weeks pregnant. Great tips and I'll be following most if not all of these tips. Thank you x
I really enjoyed your video, very helpful and practical advice with examples. I loved the way you spelled out how you bath them both on your own. Sometimes you need that step by step example to picture how it will work in your head. Thank you so much. ❤️
Preparation and realistic expectations are really key.
I have a 1 year old and a 2 year old and they are both very needy babies which is alot for me because my first 2 before them which are 8 and 10 were nothing like them they were very independent calm babies and my last 2 are complete opposite so its a learning process, its extremely hard i get no Me Time its alot but i love them and i wouldn’t be able to live without!❤😢😂
The struggles you mentioned are so spot on what I go through but it got easier as then went on and my little one stopped napping so much.
Great video, thanks for posting this, so helpful i have a 1 year old at the moment, and am currently 11 weeks pregnant with baby number 2, and im excited for the future but the sleeping and the entertaining both is daunting, but with having videos like this makes me realise, its ok to do / not do certain stuff, like for me i feel like a tramp or a bad housewife if i dont clean up etc, but having the reassurance is good . thank you xxx
Ur such a great mom , all the best sis ❤️
Thank you ysis! I was so happy to see this video pop up! Second baby due in 5 days and my lg will be 17 months!! Found this video so helpful, thank you! (Also on a side note I love the way your videos are edited!) xx
Also...everyone says my little girl is the spitting image of her daddy! Been hearing that for the last 17 months and only now is she starting to look like me a little! Don't know if we're having a boy or girl this time, so it's exciting to see who they come out looking like! You have beautiful children! Xx
I love your content and the way you tell everything.
At last realistic routine. Thank you
I’ve been FREAKING myself out but this video has helped me feel like there’s hope. 🙏🏽 we just found out we are expecting and Luna is barley turning 1 on Saturday! 😱
Thank you for this video. I'm pregnant with my second and my first will be about the same age as yours when my second is born. This has me feeling a lot more confident that I can handle it. I think accepting help will be the hardest for me honestly.
Great tips. I have a 2 year old and a 6 month old and I know how u feel it is not easy we just take each day as it comes. Some days are good and some days are bad. I find having pre prepared snacks ready so pots of chopped fruit or anything that your toddler likes so when I breast feed my toddler can sit down and have a snack too this usually keeps her quiet for a bit and I'm lucky that my baby is a quick feeder so doesn't take longer than 10 minutes. Also all sitting down on the sofa and reading some books while I feed the baby. I wish my toddler would sit in a high chair she is now refusing to get in one. Meal times are very difficult with a lot of her walking around while eating 🙈
We have sooo much in common ! Nice knowing I'm not alone and another mum is doing and experiencing similar things. GOOD JOB. I have 2 boys . one 16 months old and the baby 2 months old some days the routines work and other days I'm taking deep breaths lol my 16 months old also rely on me to put him to sleep so at times I have to be cradling both sleepy babies . And yes I 've been doing the baby wear but will not tell hubby lol
Shawna Satchell any more tips? bedtime or napping? thanks ❤️
Thank you very much for sharing..
I wish you wouldn't put your self down your incredible don't forget that they are both healthy gorgeous babies and your fantastic xx
HER BRIGHT BLUE EYES ARE PRECIOUS!
Great tips... thank you!
Thank you for sharing the way you are bathing them! It makes so much sense :) now I just need to get a changing mat ;)
You know you're struggling when you're googling how to cope with 2 under 2- I had a pretty good laugh with your first tip.. lower your expectation :) you are not wrong!
What a cute little baby!!! Both are so cute!!!
Great tips. Thanks.
Genes are so strong!! Bright blue eyes she is gorgeous x
I’m going to have 2 under 1.5 soon!
Sarah Kreller same girl !
same here and I am seriously afraid of everything that is going to happen
So am i jeez idk what this is going to be like
My due date is 2nd of may 2019 and my daughter is 11 months turning 1 the coming month on the 7th. so 5 days after my due date she’ll be a year and 1 month 😂🤦🏼♂️
Same here and have c sec really scared
Thanks for the video. Made me feel better :)
My baby is four months. I went to the doctors office for IUD birth control and was told I'm pregnant. Can you please pray for my family. Me and my boyfriend are new parents and I can't imagine how hard my future is going to be. 2 babies under 2 is a blessing so please pray for me.
I'm praying for you
Hi! Hows it going?
thank you the shower bit is so true
This is really helpful thank you
Welli have one soon 2 under 2 but i can barely take a shower sometimes so am used to it😂
I cried today because my toddler (I currently have 2 under 2) is watching so much TV. We barely watched TV befire now its my saving grace at times when I am nursing. I feel so guilty.
Bessy Habtom going through the same thing here. Baby is sick and refusing to nurse. Taking up so much time and my daughter has watched so much TV.
@@liddybet my baby hasn't been sick yet thankfully, I started excercising to cope with the stress and I have so much more energy. I know going to excercise when you are dead tired seems counter intuitive but it really helps change youre perspective and the way you tackle the daily challenges it brings. My toddler still watches TV but I only let her watch Peppa Pig and Dora. She has gotten really bored of Peppa Pig and I am hoping she gets bored of Dora than I can cut it off again slowly. Also I got her a little baby doll so when she I do diaper changes and nurse etc. She does the same with her baby it becomes a lot of fun. Dont feel guilty TV is not that bad as long as you still plan for structured activity with your toddler and make sure you know what she is watching. Because some of these cartoons teach kids really bad behaviour....
About meal and bed time..I think if you know that you are having a second baby you need to teach your toddler to feed himself before your new baby arrives. Bed time..my daughter just goes to bed and no need for a routine.. I read her books during the day. It's up to parents how they choose it to be. I'm not trying to judge anyone! That's my philosophy and I feel it makes my life easier
Works for me ! Daughter can feed herself and knows to go to the room when I say, “bedtime”
Thank you so much for this especially the first tip!! I feel like I get nothing done!! Lol
My daughter is 20 months old and I’m pregnant with my 2nd baby! I’m scared but this video made me feel better💖
Thank you for this video! Could you share about what baby carrier you were using? I looked really nice and snug!
Thank you!!! I’m expecting my second in 4-5 weeks and my boy will be just under 2y/o. I’m so nervous.
Thank you💓
My son just turned 2 & my daughter is 4 month’s. Im a stay at home mom while everyone works morning shifts. . I finally got my kids on a schedule so they both nap about 2 hours together 🙌🏻 buying a swing saved me.. my baby falls asleep on it while I lay down with my toddler so he can fall asleep 😴
Hey been a follower for a couple months now but just wondering how you pronounce your name. Also love your videos. I'm due my second son is 6 weeks and my first son has just turned 2 a couple of weeks ago. xx
It's really savior vedio for me dear .... thanks so much 💕
My boys will be 23 months apart, so I’ll have a month of the 2 under 2.
Isabella is so beautiful!
riversunshine Thank you ❤️
Literally me right now 😭❤️😊
I have a 1 year old boy and a baby girl on the way. They will be 15 months apart. I encourage sleep training with your toddler a few months before baby is born. I started sleep training my son when he was 10 months in his portable crib. He fought me for the 1st and 2nd night, but afterward he did great. He now can sleep almost all night waking up once or twice. His bed is still in my room, so I can attend to his needs at night. I also weaned him off my breasts at 10 months, due to being pregnant. The transition wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. My milk supply was lessening and he didn't like that much, so he moved on pretty quickly. Lol I also encourage you to get as much done before baby is born. I've been in some intense spring cleaning mode, so my home is being organized and sorted to make accessing things much easier for me. I have 2 older children as well, so they are a HUGE help for me when I need them to watch their baby brother. Big families require more order since it can get pretty chaotic rather fast. If you need to pay for helpers if you don't have family to help you, don't feel bad for doing so. They have laundry services, delivery for groceries and other items, and so much more available now, so take advantage of other ways to get what you need. Thank you for sharing these helpful tips with us Ysis. I look forward to seeing my little baby girl soon! ❤
Lovely video xxx
New subscriber! Mom of 2 here!
Exactly!!!
I had 2 under one for like 6.5 hours ! :D
Isabella she's super cute omg
Thanks
My pleasure, Maureen!
Bless your heart putting makeup on !! 🤗
Your hair is gorgeous!!! Great tips❤️
CN i ask was it conscious decision to go for a 2nd child so soon or u realised alittle late that u r expecting
i love your accent
Ysis Lorena, it's within the social etiquette changing the baby in restaurant bathroom in the UK? it's polite?
?? What’s not polite is to judge someone changing their baby when out at a restaurant...we’re all human aren’t we? As long as it’s not on your table as your eating..🙄
I'm pregnant with my second and my first is only 11 months old 😂😬
Please I am a single mother, only 21 years old
I have a 17 month old daughter and a son due in November.
I have no support system and I need a little faith that someone is in my position and can enlighten my spirits.. I need someone to tell me it is possible ...
Hi Michaela, I'm in your situation and 4000 miles away from family and friends. We are going to do it, we have to, but it's important we find a network of support x
Your doing a great job. Keep going
Im 23 and i have a son turning 2 in november and due with my next baby sep 2020...
Very real video. Thank you.
Do u seriously let yur hair out?! I cnt breath wen my hairs nt tied specaily wen dealin wid my kids
Sultana begum I like her vlog but yeh hair....
James and Isabella are so lovely and cute😍
a tip : if you can invite a mum friend and have the kids have a play date she can look after them and play with them while you do something and you can still talk to each other while you are working it will make work less stressful ☺by the way I'm only 14😂😅
that's a great tip! Thank you so much. You're wiser beyond your years! ❤️ جنين ملالحة
Ysis Lorenna thank you 😘😍
Yes!! This works wonders!! And its great to have people to talk to during long stretches of watching the kids. Especially in the winter when its too cold or rainy to go to the park
Hey hi... how ur baby gained weight after birth bcz my baby is in LBW category.. pls share some tricks so that can help my baby to gain weight
Plz help me my toddler will always hold my infants hands Tightly... wt to dooo
👋
Not gonna lie ur gorgeous
Lelouch Lamperouge Thank you ❤️
Not every one has help. I have a 15 month old and will have a new born via c section in 2 months and my husband will be home for a month after baby is here and that’s all the help I will have until he goes back to work. Not everyone has family to help
I'm a solo mother of a 17 month old boy, and I'm expecting my daughter in 7 weeks! I dont know how I'm going to cope.
You will be fine just believe in yourself and keep reminding yourself that soon they will grow up and you be fine
Currently have 2 2-and-under. And am 25w pregnant, so I'll have the fun of 3 3-and-under. Partner is moving out (Works at a hospital and isn't sustainable with the pandemic!). We survived the 2 2-and-under. Wonder how much harder 3 will be. My youngest was crawling from 4 months, talking from 9 and walking from 10. Luckily they both LOVE to help me out and find chores fun! There is a 19m age gap between each child. Baby carriers were always very helpful. I could do a lot of things without having to stop because the youngest was always on me, playing on her tummy or asleep in her bed.
The first 2 or so months were nightmarish all the same. 😂
3 hours for bedtime?? We just read a book, change nappy, sing 2 songs and say goodnight.
So you never bathe your babies?
lucky
Bessyisyourbestie Forever my baby sweats like crazy when she sleeps so she bathes in the morning
Ur lucky lol
@@bessyisyourbestieforever3164 did you bathe yours daily??? Cuz that aint healthy at all. Certainly not for the newborn who isnt getting walking around and getting dirty
I started training my son at 1 year to fall asleep buy himself. I would let him cry for about 5 minutes then go in and give cuddles and soft words and repeat until he sleeps. It's great. He's almost 4 now and gets excited for bed
Isabella is so beautiful 😍 I love her big blue eyes!
She's hungry 😅
