- “We’re human milk-making machines.”
Jazzmyne and Lindsay simulate a breastfeeding schedule for a newborn for 24 hours. Sounds easy enough... except for the fact that newborns eat every 2 hours.

Shout out to all the parents just trying to keep their little milk monsters alive and well-fed, either through breastmilk or formula!
Watch the previous episode here: ua-cam.com/video/qIlgXDVBQQY/v-deo.html
Tune in next week for another episode of Fast Forward!
Ha. Milk monsters.
"Yeah but you also left the child upside down on the couch, so..." Kate is always sassy and hilarious 😂
I was looking for this comment exactly😂😂😂 I love Kate's attitude😂😂
My Mom didn't have breastmilk and she was shamed SO much for it. But my brother and I are happy and healthy, growing up on formula! No one should be shamed for not being able to do it or not wanting to do it.
This makes no sense if you can’t do it or don’t want to then you shouldn’t be shamed some people get on my nerves and need to be slapped smh 🤦🏼♀️ Im sorry your mom had to go through that
i was allergic to my moms! i was on soy and formula for a bit until they decided to try again
Quote of the Day: “As long as your kid’s being fed, who cares?”
Currently breastfeeding a three month old and can confirm the schedule is 100% accurate lmao
They pretty much nailed this video, then comes the reality of actually breastfeeding and your nipples are possibly cracked/bleeding + you've been woken up for the third time in the night and forcing yourself not to sleep. Breastfeeding is hard, I couldn't breastfeed my first due to poor supply and the fact he cracked my nipple so much that half of it was scab so I bottle fed. That's when I got postpartum depression because everyone made me feel like my body wasn't doing what it was literally meant to do and I felt so horrible feeling like I couldn't provide for my baby so I tried dual feeding throughout the pain. But a couple weeks later he was pushing off and preferred the bottle only but holy cow was it easy after that. You get to have an actual schedule, only downside is the cost of all the formulae.
If you want to bottle feed that's great
If you want to breastfeed that's also great.
Don't feel pressured or ashamed by others for something that'll be more comfortable for you. As long as your baby is fed, growing, and pooping rest ya mind!
💖💖
I breastfed full time for over a year and never had cracked nappies and didn't find it as hard at all.
@@AirQuotes I have no issues with my second ! It's been a dream and that I actually get to experience it properly this time round I feel blessed. My son had a poor latch that's what caused it and being my first baby I didn't know how to fix it but along came my second and it felt natural for once instead of forced
@@AirQuotes good for you! Is that really how you want to to respond to Emma’s truth?
@@FairleyTrashed well Emma isn't bothered clearly. Is this how you want to respond to her?
As a new mom who had to breastfeed every 2/3 hours and then pump afterwards all day and all night because I wasn’t producing enough milk for 3 weeks before I decided to mix feed I appreciate this. Breastfeeding was so hard for me and I was not prepared
You're a strong woman ♡
“Don’t talk to me before 9 a.m.” is a legit MOOD 😂
It was the most beautiful stage with my boy, also the most tired I have ever felt in my life.
I love you, Jonie.
Same! And I did doze off during feedings, many times. Thank goodness my husband is a light sleeper and could put our boy to bed for me.
@@cryocum1583 I’m a single mom and breastfeed co sleeping. I def dozed. I’m a light and still sleeper and have always been. I was also in a home with five other adults. I am grateful he’s okay and we had such a great experience. We’re really close! But it was exhausting!
Same. Omg . I don't remember the last time I actually slept through the night...
I co-slept and as my baby hot older I was able to feed while dozing. At about 1 year he would lift my t-shirt and position himself. Feeding was such a wonderfully close and special moment. Even now, 15 years later I can still recall how it felt physically and emotionally and I sometimes miss it. Especially when dealing with teenage moments
I breastfed for two months and couldn't handle the demands on my time and body so I switched to formula. And I was a stay at home mom I can't imagine also working! Also I had letdown reflux which meant every time I started to breastfeed I had to barf. It only lasted a few weeks though.
My husband (who also loved how informative this video was) said they shouldn't have gotten printed schedules, someone should have just randomly called them throughout the day hahaha
"Someone should have randomly called them throughout the day"!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh my gosh yes. And just faked cried when they answered the phone!!! And kept fake crying on the phone a number of minutes decided by them rolling dice and not telling the breastfeeding mama's how many minutes they rolled each time!!!
Ugh I had the letdown reflux thing too 🤮😭
That’s great I’m a working mom my son is 8 months now and still breastfeeding, yes it can be exhausting but it’s worth it. My goal is 1 year.
Or have a baby cry and cry until they fed
“ people like me..that breastfeed, we LEAK”
I love it!
I just had my first baby a week ago and I cannot express how much it meant to me to see this!! I feel so heard and validated in my struggles with breastfeeding. I also love the added lightness and humour you brought to this subject, which makes me feel so much more positive and know that it’ll get better :)
It gets so much easier! Stick with it : ) my boy is 3 months and it’s become one of my favorite things we do together. And the perks of no dishes or bottles are so worth to it
It get's easier!! 🙌👏 You're doing so good!
I just fully weaned my two year old. The first 2 months were HORRIBLE but it gets so much better from there 😍
Bless you. Because I’m horrified
I'm struggling so hard with my one week old! The timing of this is crazy.
*Can you guys "Take Care of Baby Simulators for 24 hours"?*
*RealCare babies can be rented! At the end of 24 hrs you get a score out of 100 that shows how you cared for the baby (neglect, proper care, etc.)! I did it and it was such an eye opening experience! I called it another form of birth control* 🤣 *You can make it a challenge or coparent!*
I've been wanting this for so long
@@thatgirljj3743 same! I've commented it on so many of their videos. I hope one of these days they see it! :)
@@WebbyLinster I can't wait 😂 Popcorn at the ready! 🍿
@@WebbyLinster can't wait!!
@@WebbyLinster I CANT WAIT!!!
As a mom that’s been breastfeeding for the past 7 months I can confirm this video is so accurate! Props to all the awesome mamas that go above and beyond for their babies ♥️
Thank you. 🤍
I have not personally chest/breastfed but I do have some experience supporting someone who has and my advice is this: Bring them all of the water and snacks, do what you can so they can take naps, and if the other person is comfortable having their boobs out around you, don't get all squeamish on them if possible. I have had to hold a newborn's hand while they were latched, because they were so insistent on stuffing their little hand in with the nip...which doesn't allow for any real feeding to happen. At first you might feel a bit weird, but it's honestly really impressive and amazing to watch a human support another human with their own body. The pandemic definitely makes it hard, but please support new parents as much as possible, because they are doing something incredible.
I love this. You sound like a friend every breastfeeding person needs.
Breastfeeding takes so much energy! It burns calories like crazy. So awesome you picked up on that and the water! And allowing them to be bare chest. I did that at home and it made things so much easier. I honestly wouldn’t have such a great experience without support from people like you!
I love this comment so much, thank you a lot. 🤍
Dont mean to be rude or anything, but why do people say chest/breast feeding? I have always just heard breastfeeding until recently. I am legitimately curious.
@@jessicapadron7886 I think it's meant to be inclusive for trans/nonbinary folks
K8: “Yeah, also that she looks pretty much awake.”
JAZZMYNE: (puts cap over the doll’s eyes)
‘Fresh off the boob’ needs to be more of a mainstream term lol
It’s only breastfeeding no diapers, no food, no crying and only one parent no help from family friends or partners BY YOURSELF and I had twins I’m proud of you girls so much
Now I know why in certain Indian households, new mothers would temporarily relocate to their parents’ house. You do not want to deal with everything.
"I dont know how you do anything else while breastfeeding " 🤣🤣🤣 you don't lol
They are missing the fact that they have clean the bottle and pump partes between feedings/ pump sessions. In one day of pump bottle feeding day I calculated that you clean 32 pieces everyday on top of regular dishes.
I've been breastfeeding since 2014 with one 10 month break in between my 2 kiddos. It's a beautiful bond ♡
I also had DMER during the first year but it faded away over time. I would just close my eyes and breathe through the pain of the forceful letdown, nausea, creepy crawlies, etc. It would stop after about 30-60 seconds. It was really tough the first few months but we all survived :)
@@m4ckt4yl0r you are an awesome mother! Such a strong individual. 🤍
This Video is so Important !!! AS Long AS Mom is ok and Baby is Fed, done.
It is this hectic but I know I’ll miss it once she no longer needs me to feed her. Watching as I feed my little one🥰
waw 🤩 ay love you ❤️💋❤️💋❤️
@@user-yk3ih4qm8g hello dear ❣️🇩🇿
same now shes out like a light, and I feel the exact same way, im like I can't wait to not have to do this anymore but im also like awww no
Bored yet consumed is exactly how I felt when I had a newborn!
Mine was also ‘high needs’ so fed a lot, didn’t sleep much and needed a lot of stimulation 🙃
Also when they say breastfeeding shouldn’t hurt they don’t tell you about letdown pain which can feel like ant bites for about 30 secs after they start feeding and is totally normal! Mine did go away after a few weeks though lol.
Lol what a great comparison! Mine felt like that the whole way through, and weirdly still does sometimes even though I'm no longer lactating.
We love a bestie who provides caffeine and peace.
1:48 Lindsay’s outfits are so cute. Sorry if I’m sounding superficial lol
Great job! My baby is in college and I still remember. Trying to remember how I got through it all. Guess I better thank my husband and friends.
thank you for doing this. everyone needs to know how hard it is! and i would say it does hurt bc your back and neck get so sore. take care of your postpartum friends! i was so depressed while breastfeeding for 10 months.
Breastfeeding is the most exhausting, challenging, and beautiful thing. I pumped/formula fed with my first and breastfed my second. Both experiences were great.
I breastfeed and pump for my son he’s currently 8 months, as a working mama it can be difficult, but it’s a great journey. My goal is 1 year.
I can attest that breastfeeding was not exclusively the magical experience it was made out to be. You are tired, you are leaking, you are always watching the clock , and if baby doesn't latch well you are in pain - like nipples bleeding don't wear a shirt or bra pain. On top of all that you are adjusting to your new family dynamic and caring for this new person who is completely dependent on you for everything. It can be so difficult, but looking into your baby's eyes makes it so worth it. Knowing that you made this baby, you are keeping that baby alive and happy... All of the struggle and sleepless nights are worth it. If you are struggling, please know that it gets better. It might not be right away, and you feeding journey may look really different than what you expected... But that's okay. Love yourself. Appreciate everything that you have done. And keep holding on. Sending love to you momma
Breastfeeding is hard. My baby is 2 weeks and 4 days old, and I only breastfed for 3 days. He wouldn’t latch properly despite not having a lip or tongue tie, and my milk wouldn’t let down and come out. I tried pumping, breastfeeding, hand expressing… I only got drops after 30-45 minutes of trying to get milk out. He lost so much weight, I didn’t eat or sleep those 3 days, my anxiety and baby blues was awful. Since switching to formula, baby and I are so much happier and healthier. Breastfeeding felt amazing, the connection with my son, feeling that bond… but it truly is the hardest thing imo about postpartum
Oh my gosh yes. We tried SO freaking hard. We made it 5 weeks, and were supplementing with formula after less than 2. I was pumping all the freaking time. And then my supply literally disappeared completely in less than a day. Got over 4 ounces out at 8pm-ish, by 7am not a single drop. Tried for 3 more days but my boobs were done. I also got extremely strong nausea every time I had a let down.
Formula saved our lives AND sanity. It was brutal emotionally, but the fact remains that formula did the job it needed to do for us and he's a completely fine 3 y old now.
I'd heard people say breastfeeding can be hard. I had no idea. I thought I did but I didn't. It was soooo much harder than I ever expected
@@thayerwilliams905 me too! I had friends and family tell me how hard it was and I thought they were just saying that because they didn’t want to breastfeed. After going through it myself, I realized the true struggle that it is to breastfeed for some people. I wanted to be one of those moms who breastfed my son was 2 yo but unfortunately it didn’t work out that way, but I’m so thankful he’s healthy 💖
I couldn't wait to stop, but I remember crying my eyes out the last time I nursed my baby
Remember to always double check your phones I had mine unlocked and was moving and accidentally clicked unlike!! I absolutely love Jazzmyne and Lindsay ! So grateful for them in the world 🌍 💖
I really appreciate how informative this video was. Currently breastfeeding as I’m watching it. I’ve been breastfeeding my little one on demand for the last 18 months and still going strong but it’s chaotic to say the least. We’ve dealt with mastitis, blisters, tongue tie, food intolerances/allergies, etc. It’s insanely tiring but I still wouldn’t change a thing about it. It really is magical and horrific 😂
I second that! Your doing great 18 months is awesome I lasted about 7 months went back to work and wasn’t able to pump so my supply completely dried up. But those 7 months were very long and hard for me still proud of myself lol I didn’t think I’d make it that far.
I love breastfeeding, but BOY it’s hard. My baby is 13 months and still going strong (although I do scheduled feedings now). I work 40 hours a week so I do still have to pump regularly
I’m a mom of 3 just had a baby 2 months ago and I exclusively pump, I pump every 2-3 hours all day (trying to boost my milk supply) this was pretty accurate, lol luckily I have a pump that I can walk with so I can do chores , or feed my baby during pumping, it’s a lot. No matter how you choose to feed your baby it’s a lot lol a fed baby is a happy baby. I love these videos , many people are in complete shock after they have a baby so this is great information. 😊
OMG LINDSAY AND JAZZ’S HAIR
As a mom that’s breastfeeding for two years I would’ve liked to see them discussing the difficulties breastfeeding too like aversions/agitation, latch issues, mastitis, engorgement. And a random alarm that makes them cluster feed over the next hour or two to make it more accurate.
Right?! They make it sound so easy.
Agreed.
"How does it feel?!" Like someone is sucking on your nipple ...but their lips are effing razor blades.
Jazz mine is litterally my favorite she’s so funny and joyful and just always puts a smile on my face
Also add in your body not feeling familiar, not being able to walk normally bc your abs are out of place, and the rollercoaster of emotions WHILE you’re trying to get your baby to breastfeed. And spilling milk on your clothes while you pump at work…
It is so nice to see this! I enjoyed my time of breastfeeding my 5 babies, with one having been adopted....but it was definitely a full time job.
I have been breastfeeding for almost 5 years now (3 years with oldest, 21 months with youngest) it is really difficult but it is such a great bonding time and I'm really going to miss it when my youngest stops.
Same here!
Watched while doing my nighttime pump! Can confirm: breastfeeding is no joke! And yes it shouldn’t be painful but sometimes it really is!!
"bored yet consumed," is about right. plus lonely, emotional, uncomfortable,, blissed out, scared, exhausted...and somehow all worth it ❤️
"it looks like you are not doing anything else that day" that got me :DDDD no, you dont do anything else EVERYDAY lol
Okay but why did their outfits match so well in the intro?? Like down to hair color. I love their friendship 💜
You two did so great! I've breastfeed before and it's such a rollercoaster with lack of sleep. I'm due to have my second baby on Monday and starfing my second breastfeeding journey.
I really appreciated this video and also believe there could have been more space to discuss the history and rhetoric of breast is best v formula fed babies. These mythologies are based in race and capitalism. I was offered formula without hesitation although my baby latched right away and was feeding well. This also came after I advocated for breastfeeding and lactation support.
I loved this video! I was a first time mom at 35. Went over due date, then had to have an unscheduled c-section. My husband only helped 5% of the time and I was the one getting up, breastfeeding, diapers, doing laundry, cooking, etc. Plus I was fighting postpartum depression. When I went back to work after maternity leave I had to use my breaks to breastfeed in my office, since my company didn't have a lactation room. So the office on the other sides could hear my pump and I frantically tried to play music on my computer to cover it. Most days I'd just cry. Plus I had to pay for both my pumps since insurance wouldn't cover them! I ended up having to stop breastfeeding after 11 months, since I got super sick. But we were close enough by then for my daughter to use regular milk, baby cereal, etc. to eat.
I love all of your videos, As/Is! Greetings and hugs from Romania.
Ok but really it DOES hurt. Cracked nipples, latching issues, biting in older babies.....
Once you get settled into it, no, it didnt hurt anymore but in the beginning it absolutely did and its common.
And they didn't even have to change and burp too that adds even more time lol they did great
My daughter weaned herself off by four months which was so emotional for me, and it still is(she's nine months now), but watching the video reminds me of all the stress, of hungry I was all the time, plus how much I would sweat due to my signaling my baby to eat, and how sleepy I was. Also, I gave up on the breast pads; they broke me out, so I would walk around with a wet shirt 😂😂😂 no f’s given when you're a new mom
This was hilarious because it is SO TRUE! I’ve BFed 3 babies and this is relatable… trying to squeeze in “chores” in between endless feeds. 😆 Kuddos to Jaz for feeding her baby in the car, which seemed to be on the go! LMAO! The video really provided good information. I think the one thing I can think of that was missed was explaining the tickle from the letdown. But yes, support is so much better during these times. And you better believe I would cry sometimes in the middle of the night bc I was exhausted… but it is worth it :)
I literally only watch when a video is uploaded with this duo!
Loving jazz's hair
you two need to get a robot baby and be parents for 24 hours
I'm actually pumping when I came across this video. I am dieing! XD This makes me feel not alone.
Brings back some crazy memories lol. I did this with twins, by myself, while working full time lol. 😂🤦🏻♀️😵💫
“Bored but consumed” definitely describes the 4th trimester well for me!
Literally pumping as I watch this. 😂 You learn to Ignore the noise
Also, free help with breastfeeding and pumping was a life saver! It kept me on my path!
Such an eye-opener - especially how relentless it can be.
the struggle is real (i have a 2 month old lol) you guys did well, it was accurate! BUT! its true, its a full time job and you have to wake up 3-4-5 times a night but its not a plastic baby who "sucks" your breast, its YOUR baby who makes cute noises while eating, thats make the whole thing bearable:))
Yes! It's so different with your real actual baby. You see their little happy face and little hand on your boob. It's such a bonding time. As moms we feel such an intense instinct to feed and soothe our babies. I hate it and love it all at once lol
One key thing here is that because these lovely ladies aren't actually feeding a real baby, they aren't experiencing the hormonal changes that happen. So they basically only experienced the crappiest parts of the process and none of the happy bonding hormones that you hopefully have with feeding a real baby. Breastfeeding is amazing, but has been the hardest part of motherhood for both of my babies. The pain and cracked nipples in the beginning, mastitis, the crazy schedule, the lack of sleep, the pumping. Thank God it gets easier with time. My second is 5 months and it's fairly smooth sailing with nursing him, I just hate pumping at work. I simultaneously hate and love breastfeeding, it's so hard but it's also the sweetest bonding experience and I was really sad when my daughter weaned herself at 18 months. I feel incredibly fortunate that I had two babies who latched well, I produce well and I respond well to a pump.
"Ultimate birth control video." LOL I CANNOT
I feel seen 🥰🥰
Hahaha when I had my second child my two year old used to say “moooo” along with the sound the pump would make 🤣🤣
it was so funny when jazzmyne said parent hood i cracked up laughing lmao
I LOVE all the breast milk facts they were giving! I’m currently breastfeeding my 8 month old and she just caught her first cold. Just knowing that my baby is getting just a little extra boost of goodness to fight off her cold is such a relief for me.
I’m sitting here with my five year old awake at 3:30am cause she felt like it lol… you guys are so funny… this newborn time goes by so quickly…. It’s a lot of work but so worth it….
Lindsay*s reaction to the milky * it's sweet
I love Hannah, the world's Okayest Mom!!
Oh man I felt this in my soul. I remember my first Christmas with a 4 month old and missing out on so much because of having to bf every 2 hours for 30-40 minutes….
This is so accurate currently feel like I’m only breastfeeding trying to do other things in between is very hard but we are getting there
Birth control video lol
Loved this video ❤️
As someone who has been breastfeeding for over 12 months, I get it...I DO🥴
Public bodyfeeding is legal in all 50 states. (Some states still have cover laws. Some do not.)
“I had boba last night” GASP
That killed me lol
I get really nervous about breast feeding because it's something I've never done before. But leaky boob is definitely my least favorite way to wake up especially when I forget to grab my nursing pads before going to bed 😬😂
I love my sleep 😴 💤 I don't think I could handle this everyday but I give kudos to all the Mother's & Mother's to-be.
I think both of you would be great mom's
Bless You
I had a love hate relationship with breastfeeding. I started leaking at 4 months pregnant so had to wear the nursing pads from then on, breastfed for 9 months and was still producing milk for an entire year after.... and now one boob is noticeably larger than the other lol and no breast pumps would work for me so strictly by the boob
Lactation consultants help y’all don’t be afraid to ask for help. My LC helped me with latching bc that was really hard for me at first
“This is the most birth control video” that’s the most iconic thing I have ever heard
I must of breastfed my kids all wrong because damn, it hurt so much in the beginning. My nipples were bloody and raw until they toughened up. I also suffered from PPD which made everything even worse.
I can’t even count how many times I’ve fallen asleep while feeding my babies. It happens! Hahaha
I never tasted my breast milk but I found it smelled like condensed milk. What shocked me the most was the way it sprayed out like a shower head rather than like a baby bottle like I expected.
I found it really convenient and a lot easier than messing about with steralising bottles and making up formula. Weird situation when baby moved onto solids. My partner was up making baby porridge while i had a long lie and brought the bowl into me so I could squirt some milk into the oats. He first attempted to milk me while I slept but that was just too weird
I would definitely be a stay-at-home mom for at minimum the first 5 years because WHEW imagine having to go back to work and still having to do this. This makes me appreciate parents more.
My son is 2yrs old & I never breastfed. I felt that it would take a toll on me mentally so I didn’t do it. Everyone who breastfeeds is really a warrior
Lindsey summed it up... this video is like the best advocate for contraception 😅
Currently have an eight week old and we very quickly got our dishwasher fixed, bought a rumba, and bought a self cleaning litter box, and thrifted baby carrier (as we are currently blessed to be able to do so) because there was no way any of that was going to get done with our work from home schedules and newborn demands
is this jazz's last video?? 🥺
I'm currently 6 months pregnant and planning on breastfeeding when the baby gets here. I dont see how new moms do it. I know it'll be a lot, but totally worth it in the end.
I can't wait to do this once I give birth next year shout out to all the new moms for next coming year!
Watching this with my 4mo like yes, yes and yes lol. 🥱
I literally have my 3 month attached my to boob as I’m watching this…honestly this is pretty accurate lol I loved it!
Also, they could have at least given Lindsay a double pump 😂
I’m breastfeeding my 4th child currently. I’ve provided breastmilk for 7 babies total. This video is accurate! There really isn’t a lot of time between feeds and feeds really do last a while.
Who the heck ever said “fed is best” lol
I watched this as I finish pumping and wait for my Newby to wake up to nurse.
