Merry Christmas to your beautiful family 🎄❤️
Have a wonderful Christmas guys 🥰
Happy Christmas Fab and Ell and Noah and Ari lots of love 🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁🎄
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
You're both doing great, and well done with the breastfeeding Mummy 🙌👍💜
Nursing the first six months was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Once past the six month part it went much easier but not without challenges. Twins and nursing has got to feel like double the pressure. I’m so proud of you Ell for trying and for working toward being kind to yourself through this process. I commend you!
Yesss Ellen! I breastfed my first for 2.5 years! It was so easy she never had even a drop of formula .. With my second she completely went off breastfeeding at around 6 months I couldn’t get her to latch I pumped for her for weeks and it made me absolutely miserable so I stopped and she had formula I felt like a complete failure after breastfeeding her sister for so long but it was the best decision for my mental health! She’s 2 now and super happy and healthy, do what ever makes a happy mama and baby ❤
It's so amazing that the boys seem rather calm and you can take them out and go shopping etc! Our twin girls cried pretty much the entire time when they were between 0-3 months, it was so exhausting for everyone! Glad to see that everyone is doing well, really loving the vlogs! It's so refreshing to hear someone talk about formula in a positive way as well because there seems a lot of negativity towards it which is completely unnecessary.
Your twins are so adorable, my heart melts when they’re on screen. Also I love that your vlogging style is very realistic, I hate ultra refined vlogs where everything appears perfect. Please keep up the rawness.
What fantastic parents you guys are. I'm father of 2 myself but twins no you guys are doing amazing
You guys are my favourite UA-cam couple! I love the banter and your growing family ❤❤️
I’m 67 from Cincinnati, Ohio USA. YOU GUYS POSTING THIS WARMED MY HEART. I HAVE EIGHT GRANDCHILDREN AND THEY ARE MY LIFE. CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🍾🎊🎈. SORRY FOR CAPS.
I cannot believe what you two get done in a day. I just procrastinate and hardly get anything accomplished and you guys have cleaned the house fed the kids multiple times been to sleep, and out to a restaurant. You two are amazing. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Just keep doing what works for both of you, you are both doing a great job. Love seeing how you are all doing week to week 😊
The fact that you put out any content at all these days is amazing. You are both so much fun and your boys are the sweetest. Love your babies, rest when you can, and if you can film you can if you can't we'll be here when you find the time. Merry Christmas and may 2023 be a blessed year for your sweet little family. Cheers, see you next year!!!
You two are the cutest parents and have 2 of the cutest babies.
Merry Christmas everyone 💙💖💙💙🎅🏼🎄✨ Hope you have an amazing Festive Season 🥰 Thank you for warming our hearts by making and sharing your precious memories with us 💙💖💙💙🎅🏼🎄✨ Wishing you all a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year 🥰🎉🎆🥂🍾🍻 See you in 2023 ✨💖✨ xxx
I'm going to miss your vlogs , you 2 and your twins are my favourites, you give me happy vibes ☺️ , have a lovely Christmas and enjoy your new babies , love you guys and can't wait for your 2023 vlogs 💖 xxx
I really think breast feeding is the hardest thing a mother will ever do but it is a very wonderful journey to take. It will get better. Not shaming formula fed babies. Like you said they are fed and a fed baby is a happy baby. Best of luck on your feeding journey
If u decide to keep pumping I would recommend the elvie as it’s a great hands free pump the only issues with being an over supplier with it is u have to change the bottle over mid session but you get use to it. I would say the pumping gets easier as you can stretch it if you are an over supplier just little at a time to avoid mastitis but 100% agree a fed baby is a happy baby and your two boys are very cute.
Thank you for saying that if you have to formula feed your kids being fed. My consultant came in and said breast is best & I said I can't because of my meds and he was like oh yeah. & She was 6weeks early and she was tube fed etc and we have mental health in my family and I got postnatal depression really really bad. Boy I wish I had people like you Ell .
Ohh we had that with the boiler issue 🤦🏼♀️
Keep going with the latte art 😂then the icks started 🤣🤣🤣 brutal-then Fab said I don't have any more- nicely played my hubby said 😂 have a wonderful Christmas and New year 😊
Great vlog xx have a lovely first family Christmas with your precious boys xxx
Hi lovelies, great video, my goodness the boys have grown ❤ won’t be long now until they are smiling and that’s a magical moment.

Love your mums response when you called after the Iceland delivery lol 😂
Loved this video you are such a lovely couple and amazing parents have a great Christmas xx
Love it guys! That ick part cracked me up, Bethan has way more than I expected, won't put them on here though!! 😳😂
Just finished your video. Loved it. Ell, your explanation of breast feeding was honest and heartfelt. Many will gain from it. You couldn’t of done it any better. The boys are gorgeous and have grown. It’s sad that they grow so fast. Thanks for taking us around town shopping and eating. Your food looked wonderful. Wishing you, the boys and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. This old lady just loves following you. Much love.
I absolutely love these vlogs and always love seeing the notification pop up!
I just had my baby girl 3 weeks ago and I always watch your videos when I’m feeding/burping. So thank you for making that time more entertaining 💖 your boys are so beautiful and you guys are such amazing parents! Keep up the great work 🤍🤱🏻
I love the way you work together so perfectly. Makes having twins look easy.
Great video the boys have grown so much hope you all have a lovely Christmas and all the best for 2023 xx
Merry Xmas guys. Going to love watching the boys grow up 🥰
Love your videos your both so down to earth . And it’s lovely watching the twins grow ❤❤❤❤
What a year you have had. The boys are really growing your milk Ell must be perfect. I love your vlogs because they are just like you are with us and no cameras. It is so lovely to follow your days. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for you and the boys.❤️❤️❤️
Hi Fab and Ell, I breast fed my first and then my second I breastfed for 6 months, my third I didn’t think I could manage to cope with breastfeeding my third so I just bottle fed but I got postnatal depression and with my 4th I so wanted to breastfeed but I had to have an emergency c section and was really poorly I lost a lot of blood and needed surgery to stop the bleeding after my son was delivered i was too poorly after to breastfeed it was a shame but like you said as long as your babies are fed that is all that matters your doing a fabulous job with combined feeding though and I agree there is a lot of pressure in new mums to breastfeed and you should do what’s best for your own personal circumstances. The boys are growing so quickly now I can’t believe how quickly time flies. They are both so gorgeous. ❤❤
Loved the vlog ❤ 💕 💖 😊 love seeing your gorgeous boys , Happy Christmas 🎄 to you both x have a good one xxx will be looking forward to see you both and the boys in 2023 xxxxx
Ell I do that in lifts it’s vertigo pressure in your ears which affects balance and makes you dizzy bless you
This is so interesting!
Merry Christmas 🎄 recently found your channel, really enjoying watching recent and past vlogs. You are so right with pressure of breast feeding Ell just do what is best for you. Looking forward to seeing the boys grow even more. Take care xx
Happy monthsary boys!
Merry Christmas,God Bless your family. I started with you when you found out about the babies and you diffidently are my favorite.
You are so open and honest. I appreciate that you post at least once a week,I know it is hard but any extra would be great!
Happy New Year to you too, and your gorgeous baby boys! 💙💙
If the rash is still there, keep an eye, my little girl has CMPA and wasn’t diagnosed until 4 months old!

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to post all these wonderful videos, I so enjoy them. twins are growing so fast, they are both cutie pies. Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family.
You look beautiful. Thank you for your honesty with breastfeeding. Many women are to be made guilty which is so unfair and mean. Your doing a brilliant job. 🙏💙🙏💙
Merry Christmas Fab Ell Noah and Ari hope you all have the best time ! See you in the new year xx
Hi Fab and El. I just want to wish you the happiest Christmas ever with your sweet boys🎄⛄
Great video. And an encouragement for other new mums.
There is a family I follow called Brad and Rach they have had two sets of twins and a singleton. And she managed to breastfeed both sets of twins and singleton. Your body can produce what both babies needed.
My first pregnancy I was expecting twins. Sadly one died before birth but my milk supply was huge. I ended up supplying the milk bank for special care babies.
You’re doing great
Happy Christmas to the family of four! Xx
I love your videos,so keep em coming,the twins are beautiful
Loved this! I’m also intrigued as to where you live as I live not that far from Worcester 🙂
I was the opposite the pressure to formula feed is insane and nobody ever talks about it. Nobody ever asked me how my bf journey with both my girls was going :( I nursed them for 3 years each in the end. Your journey is yours and as long as you're all happy and thriving that's all that counts. Gorgeous boys you have and you and fab are doing amazing!
Totally get this too!! I always get comments of ‘just formula feed’! Xx
100%! It was so weird. All the midwives in the hospital saw I was breastfeeding and didn't ask much about it or barely gave any support or worse actively discouraged me. To the woman formula feeding they couldn't do enough. I did get more support after leaving the hospital and then fed my son for 18 months. Just wasn't expecting that experience
@@clyde502 I'm sorry you had to experience that but sadly that is the norm :( I think medical professionals can sometimes not want to appear as pushing breastfeeding when in reality it is only encouragement and support.Where is the support? The nursing rooms? The breastfeeding groups with trained professionals to help? Ours got cancelled because 'other mum's were feeling left out' and I always had to ask to feed in changing rooms for the privacy. However a mother feeds her baby is her decision and hers alone. I'm here supporting every mum but I do think it needs mentioning it's not as one sided as it's made out to be. It's such a shame because we are all in the same boat! And as long as these babies are loved and cared for that's all that matters! ❤️
Totally get this. Its so hard to feel unsupported in breastfeeding journey. My boy is dairy and soya free and in turn so am I. I'm so sadderd by everybody just telling me to stop and that formula is easier etc from all friends and family. X
Aw the boys are so lovely have a lovely Christmas and a happy New year
Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year to you both and the handsome little boys! Can't believe how quickly they have grown! You guys are doing an amazing job and love the total honesty about everything when it comes to struggles and battles! You both are amazing and absolutely perfect for each other and have the same taste and ICKS! Lol thank you for all you share with us! Glad I came across your channel a while ago cause you been incredibly fun to follow and watch your family quickly double in size from 2 to 4!! 2-4 sleep no More! Lol

Merry Christmas and happy new year xx.
Merry Christmas to the four of you.
I have thoroughly enjoyed all your vlogs, you are both so down to earth and real.
My two children are 16 and 14 now, but listening to you talk about your breastfeeding journey really took me back
as I struggled to breastfeed my first baby and ended up formula feeding as I got really upset over it. I formula fed my second baby from birth and they have both grown into healthy teenagers. So lovely to hear your journey with it as I agree mums are put under too much pressure to breast feed!
I just assumed I would breast feed. When my eldest was born, he struggled to latch on and I was in tears. The nurse turned round to me and told me it was too early for the baby blues and to stop being so stupid. I managed to give him one good feed before they discharged us from hospital, but I got my husband to go straight to the chemist and buy bottles, microwave steriliser and formula on the way home from the hospital. I didn't even try again with him because I was terrified of him starving. He's 22 now. Our other son was born 5 weeks early, but he took to breast feeding instantly. My problem with him is that after 3 weeks he'd started wanting to be fed every 1-1.5 hours and I could barely go to the toilet in between, let along ear or sleep. So I put him onto formula and he straight away went to 4 hours between feeds.
Everybody and every child is different and as long as the baby is fed and the mother is happy, it doesn't matter how they are fed.
Thanks for sharing your story! You’re right, whatever works best 🤍
Merry christmas to you! ♥️ Have a wonderful time with the whole family. 🥹 Sending you lots of love 🥰♥️
Have a great Christmas guys. Can wait to see you in the New Year! ❤❤❤❤

Ell and Fab your boys are gorgeous xxx
I wanted so badly to breastfeed my daughter, who we had done IVF to have, and I wanted the whole experience. Unfortunately she was jaundiced in the beginning and extra sleepy so getting her to latch and eat was a struggle. As someone who deals with depression, when we went to the pediatrician after about 5 days of lactation nurse visits, weighing before feeding, after feeding, trying nipple covers, etc. our pediatrician looked at me and said "It's okay to be done." and I burst into tears with relief. Although I wanted it to work, at that point it was the nurses and some family that had pressured me to keep going. That's really hard to do when you're already sleep deprived, your hormones are all over the place, and you have this new little being that you love more than life and NEED to keep healthy. I had severe engorgement and I remember to this day, and it's been 21 years, the nurse telling my husband to go buy a head of cabbage and wrap my boobs in them to release the milk. We laugh about it to this day, because he went to the grocery store, bought the cabbage, and I was sitting on the couch with my boobs wrapped in cabbage while he fed her a bottle, and the milk just poured out of me. It was hysterical, relief, sad, and every other emotion you can think of. That's when we knew we were done. This was how my journey ended, lol. She drank the bottle so easily and we all took a 4 hour nap which was the most sleep any of us had had at the time. Just as you said, my advice would be to listen to yourself, follow your instincts, and remember that fed is best, no matter how that happens. As for the rest of the video, you guys continue to amaze me and the boys are just beautiful. I hope you have a magical first Christmas as a family of 4!
Hey, family of 4,Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year.🎆
Aww lovely, I work at Boston tea party ❤️❤️
You look lovely with your hair.Your boys are so cute.Enjoy.
the babies are growing wonderfully and they have changed a lot so I find it easier telling them apart. well done Fab on the double scoop that isnt easy. I think when you have new borns the first 2/3 weeks you find it surprisingly easier to be woken in the night then that adrenaline wears off so you are then exhausted. I loved the closeness and contact you have been breast feeding a baby but it is painful. I dont remember being prepared for the pain of my milk coming through, your breasts go so big and hard that I struggled to get comfortable to sleep when i laid on my side the breast at the top would feel like my skin was being ripped, and one my back the weight of them was just so heavy, so I ended up semi sitting up. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, enjoy your first babies Christmas and all your family being round. See you in 2023 xx
The boys are so lovely ♥️
You guys are a great team❤️
Merry christmas guys.
Merry Christmas to the four of you. Hope you have a beautiful day. All the best for the new year too :)
