    “I’m just doing what I think is best” - As long as Logan is healthy, happy and thriving... stick to that motto and you can’t go wrong. You’ll know if you need to switch things up. Mum shaming, the guilt, unnecessary opinions and criticism is a real thing. Just remember that Logan is your son, you’re his mother, you know your baby more than random people on the internet and you’re doing great. :)

    It’s so sad that you have to preface this by saying “please be gentle with me.” As long you do your best to ensure your baby is happy, healthy, fed, cozy (all the things 🥰), why should anyone gripe? That journey is different for everyone, and I think most mamas are trying to arrive at the same destination ♥️. People who “mom shame” I think likely have issues themselves and find pleasure in acting like they know it all, and where else is better to be rude and judgmental than through the ambiguity of the internet ? 🤷🏻‍♀️
    I personally tried breastfeeding with both of my kids and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t make enough. You’d be surprised how many people made me feel like if I had only tried harder, it would have come. I did everything - teas, supplements, special cookies - and nothing worked. The guilt and shame I momentarily felt turned into this need to let other mamas know it’s OKAY if your journey is different - you are no less than anyone else.
    Love your videos! I’m not a big commenter on UA-cam but have watched you for a while. CONGRATS on that sweet boy and as the mom of a 4 year old and 15 year old, trust me when I say don’t blink - it truly goes by so fast. Soak it all in... even the hard parts. ♥️

      Honestly moms are really mean and terrifying sometimes. I would literally end up getting into depressive episodes and cried so much because of the way women treated me on Pregnancy apps and I was a new mommy at 20 years old. I pretty much stopped communicating with other women and had to focus on loving me, my baby and my family and doing my best. My best advice is if you decide to get involved with other moms, don't pay attention to anything negative they say and try to keep you're opinions to yourself cause anything you say (even simple or nice things) will be torn apart. Just be careful I guess depending on how sensitive you are and be loving and mindful to other mothers 🖤🖤🖤

Mom was in school, parents went through a divorce and then remarried like 10 years later..... It wasn't till I was like 18-19 years old that I realized life doesn't have to be chaotic and planned and sporadic. It's so stress relieving to live slow and simply 🖤

    My husband and I welcomed our first child in January 2019. We had this great plan to wait until the year mark to try and have another, but wouldn’t you know six months in we got pregnant again! Now we will be welcoming our second child next month! So word of advice, it might be a lot easier to get pregnant the second time, so take precautions if you really want to wait until that year mark. But if it happens, it happens! And it is a wonderful thing for kids to be close together age wise. You’ll be blessed either way!

    You are such an inspiration. I'm 33 years old and TERRIFIED of childbirth... to the point of not even wanting to have kids because of it . To be honest, I still have no idea what I'm going to do but your videos have been SO helpful.

    You are doing well, Mama! I'm a mom of 5. I've done things my way: natural births (people thought I was nuts not to want a c section with my twins), breastfed into toddlerhood, we co-sleep, have cloth diapered and homeschool. There are always people who question your choices, but just let the Lord lead you, girl!

    Haha some people have sent me a message thinking you shouted out our channel so I came to watch and when you said “Hippie Dippy” I knew you meant someone else. Haha crazy that there are other “Brittani and Connor”

    I just want to say that I hope that you get as little “mom shaming” as possible!! There is so much out there and I really think it’s ridiculous. You and I are extremely different people. We have very Very VERY different views and lifestyles HOWEVER, I still love watching your videos and I enjoy listening to your perspectives on things. There are so many different ways to parent a child and no one should be ashamed of doing what they truly think is best for themselves and their families. Stay strong to what you believe in no matter how different or crazy others might try to make you feel. Only you know in your heart what feels right for you. I’m so glad you and Dan are doing as well as you are during this post partum period. I wish you the best of luck!!! 💙

    I kept wanting to scream AMEN during this entire video. As a mom of 2, keep him nekkid. Ignore the haters. Co-sleep. Let your boobs hang out. Stay at home. The newborn cocoon is the most magical time of your life and it is way too short. You are doing this parenting thing PERFECTLY, and I’m just so damn happy for you and Dan. You’re a kick ass mama!

    Your doing amazing! I always tell my clients to be gentle with themselves, they are doing the best they can. They shouldn’t compare themselves to other mothers. Each pregnancy and each baby is different. Just enjoy the journey and do your best! And people shouldn’t shame any mother! I’m a Birth & Postpartum Doula, so I’m all about supporting moms! The fourth trimester is a good book, it’s all about the postpartum period and how to prepare and cope.

    I thought she was going to say “Dan was so helpful when learning how to breastfeed. He would suck on them to get the milk out and show the baby how to do it?” 😂

  • @4usister
    @4usister 4 роки тому

    I'm really happy for you guys. It's great to already be able to show your boundaries and not caring too much about what other people want you to do. I got postpartum depression and anxiety because of all the pressure and stress it gave me. I'm healing now, but it has been really hard. For a first time mom you are very informed, and that's why maybe people can be rude. It offends their ignorance. You do you 🌹

    My husband was the same, so helpful and supportive. I genuinely don't think I would be still exclusively breastfeeding without his help. He'd get up in the middle of the night, give me warm cloths to relieve engorgement pain. He helped massage the milk out while baby ate, I was so, so exhausted, tired, and he was absolutely amazing. Before birth, he was amazing, supportive, and loving, yet somehow over exceeded that!

    Girl God have us “mothers intuition” for a reason. Just because your a new mom and yes there’s a lot to learn and you can take advice as you please but what I’m getting to is TRUST YOURSELF. You got this girl! What you feel and what YOU want to do with Logan trust yourself. God gave us moms the ability to do what is best for our babies. I am a firm believer in that for sure... I’m not saying be naïve, or don’t learn anything I’m just saying don’t stress yourself. You are a great mom and trust yourself😀 I know you are going to be a great momma for little logan❤️

    I think it's amazing and essential that you guys did say no in the first month. In Asia (Malaysia, where I'm from), the Chinese/Malay/Indians have strict confinement periods to help mom recover, encourages bonding of baby and mom without distractions. It's common for grandmothers/confinement nannies to assist during this period. It's such a necessity that there are not centres of all categories that provide stay and food for mom and babies (and husbands) after birth for at least one month! :)

    Hi Nikki💕 could you explain the reasoning behind your baby going to the chiropractor? I don’t mean this an accusatory or judgy way! Where I live it’s really controversial so I’m curious about your philosophy on it and whether you saw any benefits

    • @pickletoes88
      @pickletoes88 4 роки тому +1

      The process of moving through the birth canal & being born is a lot on a newborn's little body. Getting adjustments can be a very beneficial thing for any age, and when you start them young, it can help prevent future pain/posture/health issues later in Life

    I love the way you explained that! About the seedling. So true. Our Pedetrician urged us to keep our first child home for a month because babies are so vulnerable and if they do get sick it could be potentially life threatening.

    Lovely Nikki. I’ve watched you for years and seeing you become a mother has been my favourite journey to watch. I’m addicted to your lovely, refreshing personality 🙂💗
    I’m also very impressed with how active you have been online since having little Logan. I hope you aren’t pushing yourself too much and make sure to take care of yourself as well x x x x
