24 HOURS WITH A NEWBORN BABY

[@breannekovacs8512]

Highly recommend doing 'half' a feed (one side or half a bottle) then burping and changing then the other half. Usually they've had their bowel movement in the first half and then ending with milk makes them sleepy again :)

My baby is ten next month and as much as I miss having babies... It's a wild ride raising kids! Mine are 18,14,12 and 10. I've successfully raised one adult, so far! He just graduated high school. Class of 2020! The baby days fly by, then it slows down a bit while they're in elementary school... Then once they hit junior high - high school, it seems to go by in a blink of an eye!

Omg such an easy, well-sleeping baby! You make staying at home with a newborn look like a vacation. And he does not unswaddle when he is barely wrapped, wow! If we do have another, fingers crossed for one just as calm (lol fat chance I know). Hope things continued just as well, good luck, and in case things do get more complicated - a mother apparently can survive on 2-3 hours of disjointed scraps of sleep for years on end. We will sleep eventually! I believe!!..

Do you always leave the room so bright for naps? If so, it may be the reason he is struggling with daytime sleep. Try black out curtains : it just might change your life ☺️ good luck 👍🏽

[@AshleyEmbers]

I hear those work great, but I don’t want him to need them to sleep!

[@nanaronhano337]

Embers & Ash I didn’t use them either with my daughter until she was 12 months old and protested naps some days, then I just hung a blanket over the window. You don’t want babies dependent on something but if sleep is a struggle then it’s worth trying. ❤️

Very realistic advice 😊

[@riannefarris812]

Hi Ashley! 20 weeks pregnant, a fellow minimalist and loving your channel :) As a minimalist, I really don't want to overdo the purchasing. In regards to breastfeeding, I intend to be home for the entirety of the first year and to exclusively nurse. Did you buy an electric breast pump just in case? What is your recommendation on that? I just don't want to spend $200 if I will barely use it..

[@AshleyEmbers]

I didn’t buy an electric pump and I’m so glad I didn’t. I did buy a manual pump and I regret that. I’ve never used it and I don’t think I will. If I ever want expressed milk I used my haakaa or hand express 😊

[@GildedButterfly]

Check with your insurance many cover the cost of a breast pump if you did want one! :)

[@qs1411]

Thanks for filming i am 7 month pregnant am really scared

[@AshleyEmbers]

[@freddiefoofoo]

What do you do with the milk you’ve expressed? I’m 39 weeks pregnant and have no idea 😅 I have a haakaa too but read so many things about not expressing for 6 weeks and not giving a bottle 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@AshleyEmbers]

My midwife said that the Hakka only relieves the pressure, it doesn’t pump you anywhere close to empty so it shouldn’t cause an oversupply. I put my milk in the fridge when when my bottles get full, I store them in the freezer. I stopped doing this at 4 weeks though because I filled by freezer twice hahah

[@freddiefoofoo]

@@AshleyEmbers ahhhh makes sense. I want to breast feed but would love to include my other half now and again but without confusing the baby! It’s all so confusing 🤦🏼‍♀️ will you use your stored milk? X

He’s now three weeks old and is mostly fitting newborn sizes and a couple 0-3. It really depends on the brand though. Rook is skinny but long so some brands just run too short.

I’m curious of why do some moms wake their newborn babies up to feed them? I even had a sign on the wall in the hospital after I gave birth “feed on demand, not on clock”. I believe more “never wake a newborn baby” quote because it’s their time when they grow and feel content.

I wanted to make sure rook was fully fed during the day so he would learn to sleep through the night quicker!
