10 *MUST KNOW* Mom Hacks | How To Survive The First Year with a Baby!

[@LifeasThea]

I am one of those "silent watchers" hahah I know this video was posted a year ago... but I've been binge watching all your baby videos because I am pregnant with our first and your methods/lifestyle is very close to my own and what I want for my future family! 🥰 Thank you for being so transparent in your pregnancy/first year/breast feeding journey! It is so refreshing to see!

[@ash-2-k1q]

congrats hope the baby is well ❤❤

I recently learned that I am pregnant and being that I am only 19 it’s been scary trying to learn as much as possible before I give birth. For some reason I always figured that older parents just had it figured out way before they gave birth, but I’ve slowly come to learn that all new moms are about as lost as I am. I’ve been doing so much research and watching so many video and I came across this channel on the search and was absolutely delighted to see a lovely mom and her adorable baby girl. It’s been a pleasure watching these video to gain some knowledge while also getting the pleasure of watching Sage be the cutest little thing. I love this channel so much and have been binging every video!! Getting to see Nikole’s whole journey has been very comforting because I feel that I’m not alone in my journey.

[@peppermintwoman2049]

Omgaaaa I laughed at the absolute cuteness when you started to trim her nails.....she is going to remember that for life!

[@cactusrose6646]

Yes!!! She was so adorable!

[@teruldacz]

Hello you are sooo amazing that I'm putting your vids in my "Mom" playlist which I won't need for a long time. I'm just 18 but still sooo looking forward to being a mom one day. ❤❤

[@5Seed]

Consider working as a au pair or nanny for a period. It's a great way to get an idea of the day to day work involved with young children while being able to enjoy hanging out with kids often.

[@teruldacz]

@@5Seed yeah so I'm planning on studying to become a high-school chemistry and maths teacher. And nannies aren't a typical thing where I live. Families usually live close to grandparents so they use them for looking after their kids. I know it sounds bad like this but I can't really explain it any better. Sorry. And also I hate traveling because I love to be with my family so no au pair 😄

[@5Seed]

@@teruldacz fair enough. I had a cousin that did it and she loved it but I wasn't interested.

[@yanabanana5086]

Wow that's a bit sad :(

[@arushibajpai4147]

Can you please share the playlist ?

[@saralarkin2086]

I am 5 weeks away from baby #3 but my second was 8 years ago and I feel like its all brand new, so your channel has helped me so much!

Tip for stains on clothes: get the stain really wet with water and then put the clothing item out in the sun! Within an hour or two of sun the stain will be completely gone!

[@jameshurst8529]

Hello Amanda, how are you doing?

[@lizzylambardo8103]

I mean, yeah. Me as a soon to be cloth diapering momma was like "but it's water soluble. Just rinse it out and soak it in a bit of vinegar water or throw it out in the sun..."

[@AmandaIdzerda]

@@lizzylambardo8103 yup, we do cloth diapering and it's amazing how the sun gets rid of all the stains on our diapers! So easy too.

[@lizzylambardo8103]

@@AmandaIdzerda I wish i didn't live in michigan with 4 seasons. I can only really sun diapers out during summer.

Hi Nikole I'm a first time mommy to a 4 month old baby girl. What an incredible journey it is to watch her grow. Love all your content

[@jinghanliu2225]

Just want to say I love the content. I would appreciate if you could post a video about time management especially being a new mom, how do you manage to get everything done

[@LCS4444]

Finally new tips, not the general tips! Appreciate you!

[@rimkhiari4121]

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and I can't wait for my baby to arrive, thanks for the tips❤️

[@aaroheejawadekar547]

I've been a dedicated follower and watcher of all your videos! I started coming to your channel only as a trusted source for new healthy recipes, kitchen hacks, meal preps etc.. but when my husband and I were thinking of having a baby, you got pregnant with Sage and I followed your entire pregnancy journey intently! My son was born last month and now I'm binging on your postpartum videos as and when I can (especially while I breastfeed him). And just like your other content, even these videos are just SOO informative and helpful! I'm one of those silent watchers that you mentioned in this video who has never commented on anything, but trust me when I say this.. I am one of your biggest fans and admirers!! Thanks a ton for being so candid, so real and so amazing Nikole! ♥️

[@nicolegren1181]

Hi from Florida👋🏼 I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and have been watching your videos since I fought out I was expecting! So beautiful to see your journey and family grow. Thanks for always keeping it real and helping out other women❤️ You’re awesome!

[@khyatisaxena8438]

Hello, I am from India. Sage is such a cutiee little angel..! She is super adorable. Blessing her with all the good things in her life.

Gym membership with childcare so you can sit in the jacuzzi, then take a long, relaxing shower. For all they know, you're at a yoga class.

[@isabelleesch2604]

That's kind of genius

[@aspenlittle1098]

Brilliant 😂

[@Jen18lol]

Wish my local gyms had childcare😒

[@АлбенаРайкова-б6е]

Hi from Bulgaria! :) I am a mom of a 3 year old boy and a two months baby girl. I enjoy your mommy vlogs :) I admire how active you are and I feel you as my friend :) Thank you!

[@amylichach2944]

Farmers stain stick !!! It gets everything out. Gentle and natural ! We even use it on our clothes and it gets stains out that have been there for a long time.

[@101kass]

Omg! The leftover breast milk idea is soooo smart! Thank you!!!!!

[@sarahnordstrom4310]

What was the pillow you were using while breastfeeding? Is it a pillow specifically for nursing?

[@codedresilience5239]

Holy crap. I’m in my final month, baby can come any day now. I’ve watched your videos off and on throughout this pregnancy and now it’s about to be game time. Thanks so much for the time you’ve put into these awesome vids of advice! It’s helped this ftm tremendously

[@saschab808]

You can put stained clothes to dry in the sun to help with stains too

[@lauramantis5826]

I donno which video it was but I bought that nail filer thing and man this is really genius, my boy had all scratches in the face and nothing would help... Now he has smooth nails 👍🌺

[@tyetishaburroughs3913]

Thank you for these I’m 27 weeks pregnant trying to get prepared

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Ooh so exciting!!

[@heyyouguys342]

Bombas brand socks are a game changer. They have grips and do not fall off. Highly recommend.

[@Claras_home]

Which subscription do you use for baby toys??

[@misspaigearthur]

Hey! I love your videos! I have a 6.5 month old baby girl named Stella. Your videos inspire me and help me so much! You have great content and I love watching “our” girls grow up at the same age. You are helping me make healthier decisions for our family, and I am so grateful! Thank you!

[@TheGamersGuide819]

Sage and her little smiles

[@staceyl8098]

Hello, I love all of videos. I have a two month old and I’m learning so much on your channel.

[@swatipai168]

Amazing hacks, I was in such a daze during the first 6 months from the constant night feeding n lack of sleep. You are doing great, and little sage looks super cute when she is babbling

[@nicoleliller1808]

17 weeks pregnant here. Thanks for all the tips!

[@samanthamessina8427]

It’s been so great to go through this journey about 2.5 months behind you. Myself and own little one are benefiting from your positivity, realness, opinions, exploration and hacks! You help me feel like I can do this as a younger mom who wants the best for her kid but not to go too overboard with some of the stuff other youtubers do. Thank you so much! Also you and Sage and the whole fam are just adorable. ❤️😁

[@moniquemcgrath506]

This sounds funny to say but "hi" from a couple of your "silent viewers" :) My husband and I enjoy watching your videos from Uganda. Sage is lovely! She's going to be so smart just by listening to you talk to the camera. Thank you for sharing :)

[@akaNaomi]

😭 I poured out a full little bottle of breast milk because it was in the fridge for too long! I'm so glad you mentioned an alternative use because I was so sad it went to waste. 💔

[@joannawalaszek7742]

I will definitely try the dish soap hack!!!! 😊thank you!!!!

What changing mat is that?! It’s perfect and I can’t seem to find one 🙁

[@justmamathings]

Omg Sage is so adorable, I notice she is really active! When my baby was that young she was actually really chill lol, it’s so interesting how every baby is different 💕 Can you do more baby related videos?! I love them! Possibly a baby clothing haul or even a mommy clothing haul lol 😬 I’m obsessed with those lately I don’t know why lol 😂

[@shelleykirstein9708]

Another fun video to watch,your girl is so busy,and active.I love how she watches you talking to the camera.She may give you the side eye..if it's not Sage approved..Also the suds on her hair in the bath..the cutest🛀 That nail filer looks so easy to use,can adults use it?🤔Baby nails are so adorable...Thanks sweet funny Sage for making my day enjoyable🙋‍♀️

[@angelikaf.7594]

Hi Nikole, This is Shweta from India. I’ve been watching your videos for over 6 months now. Great stuff and so inspiring. Keep going!

[@melissaaguilar8600]

I heard it’s best to avoid baths and instead do showers for babies to avoid baby getting urinating tract infection because of the constant soap floating

[@sharleneconopio837]

Baths with baby is something I'm going to have to try! Thank you!

[@k.i.dclothestv374]

Yes this will help so many moms. Keep doing videos like this

[@HealthNutNutrition]

So happy to hear!

I was gifted Squid socks and they have little grippy things so they stay on! Looks like they’re pretty expensive though at $24 for a pack of 3

Totally going to try this. What's the name of the toy subscription box? I love the idea that is friendly with the planet 💕

[@ewelinawentowska7744]

Hey. Where did you bought the Little box with cloth wipes?

[@mariacardenas2501]

I have a 6 month old baby girl and that nail file save my life🎀👩‍👧👶🏻 my babygirl had long nails when she was born and I tried to use a clipper ,catched a tiny bit of skin and I felt like the worst mom ever. I got the electric nail file and let me tell you babygirl recognize it and even extend her little hand with no fear at all🙏🏻🙌🏻👶🏻🎀

[@yeseniamaclang873]

Thank you!! So very helpful!! Are there any play time ideas I can do with a 3 week old?

[@apriljadewild101]

Sock ons.... you can buy them on amazon and apparently keep the socks on. I saw a friend who has baby of similar age that was gifted them. I haven't tried them yet as it's summer now so she's flopping round in mostly just a nappy but sounds like an OK idea

[@SnazzyZee]

Love these helpful educational videos.

[@TaneshaSunflower]

Very intuitive video! Even though my kids are grown 😋

[@cathycurtis1218]

Can't wait to try these hacks when my baby gets here! 🤰🏼🤍

Poop Pourri😅!! Those subscription baby toy boxes are the best for all the reasons you mention. Give one as a Baby shower gift or to a new parent instead of cute outfits and honestly they will THANK you later 👍. My two are 17yrs and 30yrs and l never knew those onesies are designed to go down over the body not over the head, you learn something new. Thankyou Sage for being a trouper in Mummys videos you are so cute😘
