Welcome to a Coffee Girls! I am finally back with a video and it feels so good to pick up a camera, edit a video, and chat with you :) As you can see my life has changed drastically! I now have a sweet baby boy named Theo. I know how much you love seeing a day in my life - so here is one version of what a normal day looks like with an infant baby and getting used to going back to work. Trust me when I say that most of my days do not look the same. I am just trying to love God and love my family as best as I can :) I hope you enjoy these honest chit-chats about motherhood, working, and baby blues. Oh - and any advice for putting a baby down to take a nap?
With much love,
Ashley

Yes for the birth video
You’re doing great mama! When my daughter wouldn’t nap I would try to wear her out by playing and interacting with her even more and dancing with her. I’ve also put on a little show or just UA-cam and that would help her fall asleep. Every baby is different and it’s possible he got what he needed. They’ll let you know when they’re tired. She’s now 2 and I’m still trying to figure out how to be a mom it’s a journey not a destination with motherhood 😊
Thank you so much for that encouragement! You are sooo right! It's a journey not a destination!
I love these day in a life as a new mama, I’m in the same season! 💕
You look great Ash!
Thank you!!!
My first son was not a good napper. I found that most times i had to do contact naps with him. After he was 6/7 months he became a better napper but the beginning was tough.
Keep doing your best and giving yourself grace!
Thanks for sharing!!
Yes for birth vlog and birth story!
Check his wake window time and then make him sleep in that schedule. Also baby wearing can help you too❤
My MIL watches my little one for me while I work from home. It’s such a blessing to be able to work and still see my toddler during the day when I want! What a blessing family is!
❤❤❤
Awwwww He’s adorable God Bless him. I’m a nana and love spending time with my 11 month old grand baby boy. Time goes by fast so enjoy your baby.
Yes it does!
You are a great inspiration. You are so beautyful ❤
YES for birth story!
💕💕💕
You are doing great as a mom. It’s not easy, it’s a lot of learning and figuring things out. With both my oldest and my two month old son I contact nap. My oldest is 17 months old loves being close when he naps. Same with my two month old. Since he was with his grandma, he probably just wanted you when he got home. So it’s going to be okie. Try getting the sleep you need, and taking care of yourself as well. You got this.
A couple tips for napping maybe a car ride or a stroller ride outside. I played calm music in the room for my little ones which helped to cancel out any other noise so that they could sleep. On the days they wouldn’t go down for either their morning or afternoon nap I would just keep them up. It is rough being a parent but definitely rewarding, as you watch them grow and become their own little person.💗 You are good parents and Theo is definitely blessed!
Also I would love to see a birth story if you have time to put one together for us!😊
We miss you ash , ❤❤❤
Mother of now four adult children coming at ya! I had one who wouldn't nap as well. As long as they are happy, don't worry about it. I think you said he napped at grandma's, so maybe that was all he needed. If fussy and clearly tired, my best friend was a baby swing! Sleep schedules will continue to change throughout this first year with growth spurts, too. You're doing great!
Thank you so much! That's what I was thinking... maybe he just wasn't tired and didn't need to nap. Thanks so much for the advice :)
Parenting is challenging, rewarding and challenging again but poof they're grown up. God bless you and your fam!
Hi Ashley, I would like to see the birth vlog. Also, thank you for being real with us and letting us in seeing your journey in motherhood. One day I want to be a mom, and this was helpful for me. I pray that God would continue to be with your family and love you all, and may He also comfort you all in the hard moments.
Thank you sooo much friend!!! We love you! ♥️💕
Not that one is trying to make one's baby dependent too much on music. But my mom would play soothing and soft worship music and that would always help, especially on those days when we were restless and not wanting to nap. Hope it helps.
Great idea! :)
Thank you for sharing your life story with us, everything is going to be alright!
Holding on to a sleepschedule has really helped us, by waking her the same time everyday and maintaining the wake windows that are appropriate for her age. She thrives on a schedule❤
You're doing so much better than I was at 2 month pp. Glory to God❤
Thank you!!
Hey Ash! It's soo good to see you back! And you're doing a great job discovering this new rhythm of working and nurturing, no pressure. I'd love a birth vlog and story, whatever you can do.
:) Thank you!
Schedules are important and that's all I know. I'm not a mom but my degree is in Child Development so I learned that about babies...that's it!😄I think you're doing a great job in all aspects. I love that you're with us and working again! I'm sorry about your toe...move that sharp thing Ashley if you can. If not please be more careful! I think you need to take naps for yourself too...when you can. I'll be praying for you in hopes that Theo will start napping. 🙏
Please share your birth story! My baby just turned 1 and I still have a very very hard time putting her down for a nap and sometimes even to sleep. It’s still is driving me insane LOL especially since she still likes nursing throughout the night. The one thing that did help put her to sleep when she was smaller and lighter was wearing her on a wrap and just walking or even getting things around the house done. You are doing great, baby is healthy and fed and that’s all that matters! Also OMG your baby bear has soooo much hair and the volume he must have got that from you! Your hair is looking amazing! My postpartum hair loss was terrible 😂
My mom always said a swing would make me fall asleep or she would push me around the house in a stroller. Apparently I needed to be on the move to fall asleep lol.
Youre doing such a great job! ❤❤❤ I’m expecting my first baby in December so seeing how you share everything has been sooooo SO helpful 🫶🏽 thank you for all the honesty here.
I'm not sure if I told you this yet but CONGRATS!!! I love being a mom! It's one of God's greatest gifts to me :) Praying for you!
I felt like giving you a big hug when you said you stubbed your toe. It sounds (and for sure was) very painful! I am the same, any sight of blood I would have nearly passed out too! You seem so composed after it. I’m so glad to have seen a vlog from you, it must be so hard to do with a newborn. ❤
Glad to hear I’m not alone in that :) thank you so much friend!!!
Theo is just precious-in love with his hair! Aww, bless your heart, Ashley! I'm still praying that you'll get enough sleep and that nap time will get resolved. :) God bless ya'll!
Thank you SOOO much for the prayers!!!
Whoever said naps for newborns was easy, clearly never had a baby. It’s SUCH a roller coaster that first year, esp with sleep!
I’m thinking your little one just wants to contact-nap, aka sleep on you. That’s the only way my baby would nap (and sleep at night) the first 8 months of her life 🙃 she refused to sleep in a crib, bassinet, etc. We tried everything under the sun.
You’ll find what works for you, but he’s still so little and just wants his mama 24/7 🤍 It’s so hard and demanding, but this season will pass and it won’t be like this forever!
You’re doing great mama 🩷! My biggest tip for when babies are teeny tiny and trying to get them to nap is babywearing. As a mama to 5, a baby wrap or carrier is at the top of my list for must-haves! When they are this little, being snug and close to mama helps them drift off to sleep and you are still able to get things done while they are sleeping in the carrier.
Hi Ash..thanks for sharing your daily routine…my baby is six months old now and it’s not easy to always see them sleeping or taking afternoon naps but we tried worship music and rocking and he sleeps well.
Congratulations on the baby! I love the kitty painting hanging on the wall.
I had an electric baby swing that moves side to side or up and down. I also love the baby wrap with the Velcro get my baby nice and cozy. Baby white noise also helps with sleeping and when baby is fuzzy. I’d say my 1st baby was pretty easy in my opinion for whatever I tackled, and now he’s almost 2 yrs old. Wow! I definitely made a schedule right away and try to do that consistently. I have schedules also even with the skin to skin and touch times but one thing I would say that really works for me and learned before having a family is that I do not train my new born/baby rocking to their sleep. I’ll try to use the swing for help but rocking with my arms is a no-no for me. I know everyone has their different ways to do so. But from my family experiences and observations, to reading and learning some bout babies, I found out that’s so effective not only for the baby but also for the parent. Anyways I hope that helps. All babies are different, so there’s tough days and there’s easier days. But next thing you know they be walking in no time. Girly been watching you since we both were single (almost the same seasons of our lives kinda) and I also lived in Illinois/Chicago area most of my life before having my little family. And now that you have your baby, i start following and watching certain people I follow that’s having the same kinda lifestyle as me. So anyways, congrats and thank you for sharing your life and faith with us!
Thank you SOOOO MUCH!! And thank you for following for sooo long! I love that we are in the same season of life!!! Sending you love and hugs!
When my son was tiny he would only sleep in pitch black. We used black out blinds and a box fan for noise ❤ (that was 11years ago though, before white noise lol)
Praying for you sweet mama!
I had 4 babies so far...as though each of them are different.....I never had any of them sleep more than 3 hours at a time during the night.
So as much as it may be frustrating, the fact he sleeps a night (which is anything longer than 6 hours straight) is amazing and my sleep deprived body would have been in bliss to have that. 😬 7-8 hours is amazing for such a young babe. He must be feeding well. And they are just all different.
An idea to throw out there that worked for me && praying it works for him. My mom would drive me around the neighborhood at a slow good pace. Something about the movement of the car puts people, especially kids, to sleep. I hope I helped a little. God bless you may He use your channel for His good!
Thank you for that tip friend!!!❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕
Sleep is so here and there the first couple to even four months, but I would advise that you watch his wake windows at his age. It’s probably around an hour and a half to two between naps and right at that hour and a half mark rock him to sleep and try to transfer like you did because the reason I am talking about wake windows is Because they can get overtired, which makes it extremely hard for them to fall asleep so with my son, I had a very strict wake window routine with him daily and the first week was wonky, but after that first week, it was pretty easy for him to know what times during the day he’d be falling asleep for a nap. Hope that can help!
Every child is definitely though, so I pray that you have wisdom on how to navigate little Theo! ❤
My son was the same. I was a work from home mommy so
Out of desperation I would put him in the carrier and let him nap on me. lol 😅 I was able to do all of the things and take care of my daughter. I slept trained him at 9 months.
Maybe get a standing desk and just wear him. He is a little bopper and just wants to be with you lol
Yes! You are sooo right! He just wants to be with me :) so sweet! I will cherish these moments!
@@coffeegirls yes do, because they will get to a point where they want to do it all by themselves. You will think back to when he always wanted to be on you and miss it.
You’re doing great I don’t have much to offer because I’m a new mom as well my baby is 9 months buttttttt I wore my baby a lot in a carrier and he took lots of naps in there. I also follow wake windows and that helps to know when to sleep/play/eat.
Thank you friend!!! And congratulations on being a new mama 💕
Chamomile essential oil on his feet! Works like a charm... It's one of the best essential oils to use for infant massage. Dilute chamomile with a carrier oil and apply a small amount between your palms to warm the oil. Next, gently massage the oil onto your baby's back, chest, belly, and feet.
I'm a new mom too, my baby girl is now 9 month.
I understand you're feeling nothing prepare you for the daily life with a baby. My girl started good sleep night at 3 months. And only then i could get better sleeping at night.
For the baby blues it was better when she was able to move by herself ( returning back to belly and talking back in her language) .
My advice is take a step at a time and embrace every day, it's just a short period of time.
For the nap i can't really help mine only wanted to be in arm but after 3 months it's was inefficient so i put her on a pillow on my lap and she was asleep in a minute. But don't worry your baby will tell you what he want and need and you as a mama have confidence in your mother instinc. All prayers to you and your family
It’s normal for babes to not nap when they are going through a leap. My best advice, whenever my kids are about to drive me crazy that my sign now (my kids are 9 & 6) and I am exhausted, the next few days they show a new skill or seem older in some way. Their brain is developing! The best thing I heard to describe a leap was imagine you went to sleep and you woke up and the world didn’t look the same as when you fell asleep, that’s what it’s like for a baby who is going through a leap. Will be more in need of cuddles, cry easier etc it just means they are seeking mama for comfort in a unknown
and scary world. ♥️♥️♥️ I hope this helps. It still happens today for my kids as they go to a new place of development and growth. Also, as a worrier, I wish I would have just fell into the moments when things weren’t going as I had hoped. I wish I would have just cuddled more and been in the moment. Not to say you aren’t, that’s just something I have learned looking back.
Thank you so much for this! I love cuddling with Theo :) It's my goal to be in the moment as best I can. We are also reading Wonder Weeks (all about the leaps - and I totally agree with you!)
Hey I've learned too that while baby sleeps do what need to do and yeah a little nap don't hurt her and there.
I had the same problem with my first baby and my advice is to try lay him down in a stroller and sway (don’t know the right word :) ) . When the baby is asleep it’s in the same time closer to me, bacause stroller can be anywhere. And when is closer to me sleeps better :)
Anyways you are great!!! I love you all so much! I wish I could be your neighbor 🥰
My first baby would ONLY nurse to sleep.. 😮💨 It was so hard. I tried everything else, but the only way we could all get some sleep was to have her co-sleep with me.
Thanks for sharing! Helps me know I’m not alone!!! ❤️❤️❤️🥹🥹🥹
It pays to serve God❤
Yeah you would know if if you had postpartum depression what helps big time is the is the euphoria that God added with breast feeding the seratonin I think
Any way you look so good already! So happy for you and Johnny ❤
Maybe try a stroller that is easy to take him in and out of. That may be soothing. Sound machines are helpful for nap time. I am a nanny and have worked with a lot of babies and infants and they are all different when it comes to nap time. One little girl would kind of bop her head to signal that she was falling asleep. She did that into toddlerhood. Thank you for the video ❤
Thanks for sharing your experience. Your doing a fantastic job as a new Mom❤
Hahahaha we missed your “good morning “ singing way 😂
Good to have you back
Baby Theo is 🥰
Val 🇦🇷 💕
Try using instrumental music with nature sounds I used it when my kids were babies hope it works for you Theo is so precious God Bless❤
Thanks for the tip!
Hi Ashley, so glad you, Johnny and Theo are well. I was considered gifted at being able to get my baby nieces to sleep! I used a combination of rocking and singing them to sleep. Your body has to be very relaxed so if you can do something to relax like drink hot chocolate or practise slow breathing, the baby will be lulled to sleep when they enter that relaxed state. The baby very much responds to the relaxed state you are in. I hope that helps. xx
Hey Ash, I used to walk my grandsons in the stroller. I also played soothing music and it worked.
I hope your toe is OK! If you ever have an emergency like that again, try applying a wet teabag. I once cut my finger on some chipped porcelain and it worked for me. Have a blessed night! Much love and peace! Ruth 💖 💖 💖 xoxo
Thanks for that idea!!
For nap time use a white noise machine and put some nice music on for him or rock him to sleep - maybe he is having sleep regression. Also, watch your caffeine when your Nursing - it could be affecting him bottom line if he just won’t nap then skip it and put him to sleep early for the night
Thank you friend! You are right about the caffeine! I have been drinking decaf recently to help with that
You're doing great!!!! I have no nap tips. My one & only (now 31) son was a sleeper, which is why I had a c-section, lol. You will figure it out. May God bless you & your family 💜🙏🏽
P.S. No don't show the planner. It's the last thing I need. It's so pretty
hahaha! Thank you so much friend!!!
car ride always get my kids to sleep :)
Absolutely yes to a birth vlog! And where did u get that couch??? Love it.
At a local shop :) We love it!
You are doing amazing mama…so happy your back how has it been 2 months already…to answer your question yes would love a birthing video ty for taking us all on this beautiful journey…love you guys love seeing your videos
I've seen another new mom take her baby for a ride and that works
I always read to my cousins kids to get them to sleep.
have you seen the leap calendar for babies? It helped me so much to know when a leap was coming so I understand why he wasn’t napping. Their brain grows a lot and they learn new skills and it describes it well if you can find the leap chart.
I think u look very pretty without makeup,ashley
You can try an oil diffuser with peppermint, blackout curtains and a combination of classical or worship instrumental music... I hope he starts napping better hehe!
maybe try some blackout curtains in his room, it might make the room very dark, so the dark room might make him feel sleepy.
This helped my baby and she’s 19 months now and we still use them!
I had a newborn that wouldn't sleep and I realized it was my coffee consumption. I was drinking cold brew at the time. When I scaled back she started napping better. Oops! Haha 😅 perhaps it's the amount of coffee?
I have been drinking decaf. One day, I drink caffeine and he didn’t sleep at all that day ha ha, so no more caffeine at all for me.😂😂😂
@@coffeegirlsgood call lol. I wish I had figured out sooner why she didn't sleep! Little guy will get there! Hopefully 😂
Good for you looks like you make an excellent quantity of milk😊right choice burns so many calories‼️😊💕
Your house is beautiful! I really like the window in the bathroom!
Such a perfect choice for a house
I was literally just going to ask if you had shared your birth story yet and I somehow missed it ❤
My son would never take naps for the first 7-8 months … and IF he did his naps were extremely short ! The only time he would be able to get a good nap in is if they were contact naps. As you continue to seek the Lord and try different things out, you will find what works best for you and your little man
A fan helped me put baby to sleep
My first kid loved car rides. I drove her around the block a couple of times and she would sleep🎉
Try taking Cara Babies for nap/sleep! Helped us get in a routine.
Hi Ashley! Good to see your back. Missed you. That’s not good about your toe. I hope you have had your TETANUS shot. Babies fight sleep because they are afraid they will miss something.
Birth story and experience
Where can I listen to that song “in your courts is where I wanna be”?? It’s so beautiful and I’m trying to find it on UA-cam to worship this morning
Baby bear such a cute name for the baby
:) hehe
Great video! First time parenting is a big transition. I have 4 kids ages 8-21 and each one has been a blessin but also a challenge. The Lord helps us adjust. What is the name of the song you played in this video? It was beautiful.🌿
Maybe you would enjoy another Christian young lady that just had her first baby boy, they live in Florida I think her name and look up info is Allison Ashley I think it would be an adventure for both of you I know she would enjoy your bible study💖
Maybe put some relaxing baby music or pat him while singing a lullubay
I don't toknow how to explain but I had baby blues too.i think it's hormones . During pregnancy I had the ups some times downs . But after the birthing I went through the blues so to me it was like me my hormones were going back to aka pre pregnancy. But I had some support.ashley you'll get through this prayer and support .I'm putting you in my prayer list.
I didn’t force my babies to nap. I let mine fall asleep naturally so I am probably not a good example. lol
What was the song called that played while you were holding Theo?
Who sings the song playing when you are folding washing please ?
“All my days I will worship in your house “ ?
Ash make sure the room is dark and probably put on some soothing classical music or some gospel music instrumental.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Ashley what is the name of the song in this video?
Hi Ashley, blessings from God and your family from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic! You're a wife and mother who takes care of her family and God gives you that calling for your life. Thanks for sharing this video. I'd like to be a future wife and mother sometime in the future if God's Will. I ask your prayers for me.
Try feeding the baby in a side lying position and cuddle him, He will sleep very well.. that’s how I was able to put my baby to sleep
Jonahan is a good name. My brother's name is Jonathan. My name is Michelle, and it means - one who is like God.
Take him outside for awhile
