- Just another very chill day in the life with a newborn and a toddler. And by "chill" I mean, surviving on 20 mins of sleep and dealing with tantrums. So fun. LOL seriously, here's how Jackson's been doing lately since switching to formula during the day. xoxox, Kayla

Riley waiting for her food & talking is so adorable!
Absolutely loving the vlogs, and so thankful you are so real, raw and relatable! I am literally just starting my journey to trying for a baby! So watching your vlogs really excites me for whats to come, even through the poop explosions and more lol! You are one amazing mamma, and cannot wait to see the baptism vlog too! xx
It sounded like Riley said. "in the sea" when she threw Sebastian in the cup LoL so cute.
I love watching you! I’m due in April and I’m super super scared and nervous. I love how real your videos are. Watching your videos has helped me a bit lol and RILEY IS THE CUTEST THING!!! I hope Jackson gets better
Riley's little voice.
My baby turned 2 months today Feb 10! Also, they are the exact baby to a T. Same exact problems and hurdles to figure out. I just recently went back to nursing and only giving a formula bottle at night. It so comforting watching your videos knowing I'm not alone.
haha riley saying cheese in front of the camera is sooooo cuteeeee☺️☺️🥰😂
Watching you be so productive while the baby napped in the wrap was amazing! You go mama!
Riley is such a bright little bean!! I adore her personality 😭💕 and of course baby Jackson is giving me the biggest baby fever although I have a wild little 8-month-old boy currently taking over my life, haha. Love love your vlogs as always! Now I’m contemplating more screen time for my baby so he can learn just like Riley. 😂
I really love your videos, I recently found your channel I’m a first time mom of a 1 month old baby boy. Iam currently going through a similar situation with my baby who is very fussy due to reflux. He has to be held to sleep at all times, it’s difficult at times but your videos have helped me a lot ❤️
Your children are beautiful! You made me remember when I wasn't getting any sleep at night because of breastfeeding and pumping, I survived on 2 hours of sleep during the day when someone could watch my son.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful insight into your world, you are doing great. Your family is so precious ❤️
Feeding him will actually help him poop. It’s called a gastrocolic reflex which is very active in infants. It causes them to have a bowel movement during or immediately after feeding.
Thanks for keeping it so real. I watch all of your videos. I’m having my first baby this June.
I just love Riley’s little personality.
I feel your pain! My son was exactly like this. Some days were better than others...but then he just all of the sudden learned to poop and the grunting stopped. I believe it was around 10 weeks old he became so much happier and I became more sane. I hope things improve for you soon too! You’re doing an amazing job. Thanks for being so real.
Your family is so precious! Jackson is one week older than my son & I love watching him grow! ❤️ you’re doing great mama!
You guys are seriously my fave family and idk how you don’t have a million subscribers you upload so much I love y’all 😂💗💗💗
I’m so invested in your vlogs I hate when they end lol
New to your channel. Riley is by far the most intelligent 2 year old I have ever seen!
Riley and Jackson are so sweet! Happy 2 months, little man ❤ So happy things are starting to improve slowly, yay 😁
They are both just the cutest kids ever.
Your little family is so sweet 💕. You’re doing such a great job,lots of love 😚
Xxxx
Watching your videos really helps my stress levels and calms me down for some reason, I love them. I’m 35 weeks but being induced in 2 weeks because of preeclampsia, I’m so nervous. First baby, a sweet little boy! 💙
Hey Kayla, just wanted to say thank you for all your videos and allowing us to follow your journey.. You are doing an amazing job as a mum! My wee boy is 6months old and he had all the same problems with reflux, being sick and constantly constipated! It was awful.. so i spoke to my health visitor and asked her what i could give him to help him go to the toliet. She said if he hasnt went in a 24 hr period and you can tell he is uncomfortable trying to push. She told me to put cold boil water in a bottle and two wee small drops of pure orange juice or prune juice in the cold boil water and give him 1 or 2 ounces of it and just allow his stomach to settle with it and it will help him and for my wee boy it differently did!
In the end i found out that he was lactose intolerant so i had to chance his milk to the prescription one similac alimentum milk and it has done him wonders.. he still has a slight touch of reflux but nothing to crazy! As before i had him on gripe water, infacol, gaviscon infant sachets and nothing was helping him
(Btw im from northern ireland belfast) so there are probably different techniques over here than to america)
Anyway i hope this helps and i hope you and your beautiful family keep well :) i love all your videos! Its thanks to you sharing rileys sleep training video i know get actual time to myself and sleep!
So thank you!
If he's grunting for more than 5 or 10 minutes, feed him! It totally helps. My baby is going through all the same stuff 2 months ahead. At 2 months she couldn't poop for like 2 days. I realized she was going through a growth spurt and needed more milk... Like way more than I thought. Now every time she gets fussy about pooping I feed her and it totally fixed the all day grunting. She still has reflux and will sometimes spitup while trying to poop, but having more in her tummy helps so much. Also helps her sleep way better.
Hi Kayla, I totally remember having exactly the same situation with my two boys when they were little. I know how much difficult it can be. Happy if Jackson feels better!
I feel like I am constantly picking lint out of my girls toes! So happy Jackson is looking so much happier:)
Also your advice on your nail trimmer, I got one today and it's an actual life saver! I could finally deal with my girls nails easily and quickly. So thank you.
Have a great week Kayla!! ❤️ You’re killing this momma of two thing!
Riley and Jackson are soooo adorable.
I love how you mentioned that you let riley watch lots of tv yet shes still learning as well. I know tv is talked down on alot but there are educational shows out there for the little ones to watch.
They are so sweet! It is hard to balance schedules with two little ones who are always changing. You're doing great!
My baby had the same thing with her belly button it went down by 1 or so. My doc said the same thing, it’s so common. When I first saw it I felt like I did something wrong. I’m happy that you’re letting other moms know cuz it can get big and freak out a first timer.
You did a great job! Thank you for these videos!!
What I do with my babies sleepers is take a lint roller to the inside of the feet after I wash them! Or if I remember I just wash them inside out and there’s usually no lint!
Love watching your gorgeous family. Despite all the lack of sleep your doing great. I'll continue to watch and wait for my first little one due in May 😊
So excited for this video! I've been binge watching your videos! Your a great mama!!🥰🥰
I love 💕 these vlogs.
Love the vlogs!! Please keep making them!
Enjoy life today because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is never promised.
Happy Monday everyone, hope you have a nice week :)
Jackson looks so much like his dad and Riley looks like you
My three month old has an umbilical hernia.....completely freaked us out at first!!
Both your little dude and little dude the are so lucky to have you for their mom. And we are so lucky to be able to watch your adorable babies being lucky to have you for a mom. If that makes sense.
You're doing so great mama!
Happy 2 months old ❤️
I love watching your videos! The things Jackson is going through remind me so much of my baby 😭 Turns out mine is only two days older than yours 🥰
Also, the struggle is real to pump with a newborn! I am an exclusive pumper since my little guy was not a good nurser and my husband works all day, so trying to get the baby down long enough to go pump sometimes is an issue. I think I am gonna order a single Elvie to try out after seeing your videos because it is hard to go and use my Spectra plugged into a wall some days
Did you try with the baby massage? I did that multiple times a day with my son, it helped him oftentimes. Always have to do circular motion to clock direction around his belly button and push it downward with finger on the right side from the belly button (his left your right) and then there is several motions with feet (stretch and push, do round motions, place your arm under is bottom and lightly lift it, then make round morions with his legs (clock direction) - sorry for my english, but i hope maybe any of these advices helps you
Kayla keep going your keeping it real and being the best you and your family can be cheers from Bunbury western Australia x x
So happy he is doing better! The newborn phase is one of the hardest IMO but things change quickly too 💜 I got my 12/22 little one on reflux meds now and she’s been doing much better as well.
Have you tried the Frida Windi? It helps them pass gas and frequently makes them poop.
My baby will insist on drinking her bottle while she’s pushing. She will cry if I take her bottle away...One time she pushed while she was swallowing and milk came out of her nose and mouth! I freaked out!!! Lol
Hi kayla u r amazing mum and u have got the most beautiful kidsx
Have you tried the Windi? It might at least help with gas
My daughter had an umbilical hernia. Both her pediatrician and a specialist agreed to wait until she was five before any surgery. It went away when she was four. You never would know she had it.
I remember seeing you bought the windi. Have you tried it yet? If yes, has it helped? I saw Jessica Ballinger said it had helped her babies poop!
So happy he is doing better! Love Riley’s hair! Do you use anything special for her hair? My 15 month old is balding on the side with very thin hair.
We’re having our second baby girl in 9 weeks (our first is 19 mos now) and about 90% of our baby stuff we are reusing from our first to save money, and we already have 2 baby carriers, a baby bjorn and one of those looooong stretchy wrap carriers..... and I didn’t know this baby k’tan existed and that I needed it until I saw this video! I hate using the long stretch wraps because of all the extra fabric, but the k’tan looks like the 2.0 version and sooo easy to use!!! Maybe I’ll have to splurge lol.
You're so brave changing his nappy in a white jumper! 😅
He's the cutest😍
Currently baby wearing while making dinner & watching this😂❤️ And so much yes to the linty toes hahah she gets it in her hands too! I’m constantly wiping both with wet wipes
i love the girl Because she’s so cute and adorable and I think she’s four years old I love us so much see you later
You're doing great momma. Our baby (Also named Jackson) is due in a few weeks! Just keep breathing!
Love Riley soooo much!
What always worked with my little one was she would fall asleep in her swing and she would sleep through the night so the swing was my best friend up until 6 months and when she couldn’t poop some water with honey always did the trick just an oz
First off Riley is adorable with her face all in the camera. My son has the same hernia. Nd it kinda terrifies me when it’s really pushed out, especially when he’s crying hysterically. Doctors told me the same thing, that it’ll go away on it’s own. But because he’s having surgery when he turns six’s months, they gave me the option to have it removed then too.
Riley is adorable! I am inlove with her!
So cute！！！love it！
When my boy was struggling with his poops the doctor recommended some Movicol which we just added to his bottle and it worked so well to just ease his poop and get it out. It’s so hard to see them struggling and feeling helpless 😣 it does get better though, hope you get some sleep soon! ❤️
I'm sorry, but I found it hilarious when you said only a mom would understand when waiting for a poop. I went to T-Mobile and one of the sales lady was oohing over my daughter. My daughter let out the nastiest fart/poop ever. The lady that was oohing over her celebrated when she pooped. The other sales people thought it was disgusting. One of the sales people asked why are you celebrating? This is disgusting.
My daughter always has lint in between her toes. Im always diligent about checking her toes. One time she had my hair wrapped around her toe. It started to cut off her circulation. Oops.
Celebrating poop is literally my life right now. We go 9-10 days without poop so we really have a party 😂
I also have a 2 year old born in December and a 5 week old so I can totallyyyy relate to you , everything your saying I’m nodding too like a bobble head! The milestones your 2 year old is making, the sleepless nights the struggles and joys. I love your Chanel I’m so glad I came across it 😻
Riley is adorable ❤️
Hey! I just had my little Jeremiah last month 01/07/2020💙👣
I was wondering if you could do like a baby boy amazon haul with like clothes, shoes, hats and toys he likes that would be awesome!
I had the same swing that you do and when my son was having issues pooping I would put him in it and turn on the vibration and he would poop. Worked every time. It sucks when babies can’t poop.
What do you use for the changing pads?
Omg I can’t stand how cute she is !!!!!
Your little boy is so cute I think he’s one years old having two siblings are so good I know that for fact your boy is so cute oh my God
Who’s your first baby and feeding milk
I had an umbilical hernia. I had to have surgery for it but as far as I know it wasn’t too invasive and my belly button has been unique ever since.
It’s super exciting when your kids poop. I never thought I’d celebrate poop until I had kids 😂 also Riley taking off her onesie and you saying ‘don’t get naked’ so casually 😂😂😂
So my aunts pediatrician told my aunt since her baby has times where she won’t poop for days to hold him upright when he strains to help that whole system since his muscles are super strong.
I can relate! My little girl always ends up with lint in between her toes and fingers 😂
Definitely had all the same tummy issues with my son and I never thought before I became a parent that I would get excited for someone to poop.
Omg, he already outgrew clothes already🥰. Can u say how many times u had to change his clothes & diaper per day. Also, is he still using newborn diaper. Am first time mom 🥰
The Burp Cloths I ordered at the Amazon DEFONO store are breathable, soft and comfortable. I always buy a few burp cloths for the diaper bag, but mostly we use cloth pre-fold diapers and receiving blankets.
Get a hazelwood amber necklace it was a god send for my son!!
When my daughter was little I put a little of karo syrup in her bottle when she couldn't poop and it helped a lot. She did have blow outs but she was so happy and calm. I also put her stomach down on my lap and rubbed her back and she passed gas that way also. I hope this helps
He so adorableeee
You are doing awesome job
Giiiiirl, you don’t need a new boppy if he poops on it!! Wash on cold and dry on low with a tennis ball to keep its shape!!! (Cover is GREAT tho)
Lol poop cycles are even important for pet parents. My dog has a sensitive stomach and has been sick from different things on several occasions that caused her to have poop problems and we always get excited when she finally goes after being constipated for days lol.
My baby is 12 weeks and she literally always has lint in her hand and feet creases. 😂 He’s so cute!
I had the same poop issues with my baby, so what i did is that i put a pinch of fennel seeds and carom seeds in some water and boil it and give him one spoon and see how he does. I did it and my baby had 3 poops. Also you can give him a little in a syringe first
My little guy poops while eating most of the time! It is rare he poops other times 😆 also, I am constantly cleaning lint out of his fingers and toes at bath time. It has to be from the blankets and clothes and all of the clutching they do.
While your baby is laying on her back, gently rub her tummy in a clockwise motion and then pull your hands down the curve of the belly. Massaging in a clockwise direction helps to move gas along as that is the route the intestinal tract follows. Repeat several times to help move trapped gas.♥️❤
When my little boy was very young he had bad reflux and even walking around bouncing him didn't work. I resorted to holding him while bouncing on an exercise ball and it worked miracles. He would fall asleep in minutes. Still works for him and hes now 6m
Love your Channel
Lol this was totally me today. Little guy was trying to poop all night long. I am totally that mom. 😂💁♀️
Doing good mama❤️
It’s so funny because I wait for my baby’s poop too and I get so happy when he finally doesn’t it. Even my older children have a celebration. So I feel you girl. My baby also has reflux ☹️ I’m so glad Jackson is doing better.
Has Jackson ever spit up on the boppy? If so how did the cover do? I was reading the reviews on amazon and a lot of them said the spit up just completely soaked through the cover to the pillow
When my baby spit, I often use the burp cloths I ordered at the Amazon DEFONO store. It is very breathable, soft and comfortable. I always buy a few burp cloths for the diaper bag, but mostly we use cloth prefold diapers and receiving blankets. lol
