24 hours with a newborn (first time parents & our daily routine)

At this point (when I filmed this vlog), Milo was on a schedule of feeding every 3 hours during the day, and he was still waking up every 2.5-3 hours at night. Now, at almost 14 weeks, he is on a feeding schedule of eating every 4 hours during the day, and he now sleeps through the night (from about 9pm-8am) without waking up!
The early postpartum days were NOTHING like what I expected. There were so many postpartum emotions...so many highs and lows. But everything about having a newborn baby is cyclical. The whole day is an endless cycle of feeding, playing, napping, changing diapers and then doing it all over again. I am hoping that this video really captures what it felt like back in those EARLY EARLY days! I am working on doing an expectation vs. reality of having a baby video, so STAY TUNED FOR THAT!

This was so sweet and wholesome, I couldn’t stop smiling through the whole video 🥰

[@khia9342]

Yeah the same and when I was watching the video it make me nearly to cry.

[@dianedavisotter3386]

Great job showing how all-consuming these weeks are. He's super sweet and glad you are thriving as you figure it out together. And bonus, we got to hear Michael speak!

[@queens6583]

Milo is absolutely adorable and I love the rubber band arms and legs. Having the baby nurse for the first 3 weeks was a godsend for sure.

[@curiousme8]

Somehow I imagined your routine with the baby like this, Lucie. It is so well organised (even with the baby!) and gosh you are so well-prepared. You and Michelle are such wonderful parents. I wish all babies were loved by their parents like you love your little sweet potato petunia!

[@athenaashleybates4363]

Wow! First of all, let’s just take a moment to appreciate your amazing filming and editing skills. Secondly, thank you for keeping it real! This is a true depiction of what life is like with a newborn. As a first time mom I completely relate to this video thank you for sharing!

[@danaprovenzano3961]

Yes! With an 11 week old , this is my life lol . Feeding , play, sleep, cuddles , diaper , repeat!

[@annac3565]

The “car wash” with your pony tail was so cute 🥺🥺🥺😍

[@luciebfink]

heheeeeee

[@christinamarierivera9487]

This was great! I’m currently in the same routine. This video really emphasizes how important it is to keep your baby on a schedule. Makes like easier for baby and parents!

[@luciebfink]

TOTALLY agree!! We thrive with routine.

[@cassidychristine6905]

Thanks for being so honest and real about everything mom and lifestyle. I love your personality too! I can’t wait to see Milo start to mimic your behaviors.

[@PinkRose0910]

So sweet and precious! It looks exhausting, but rewarding to be a parent.

[@hlm54]

Love seeing you as a mom! Milo is so sweet and obviously so loved! So happy and excited for you and Michael! Thank you for sharing this chapter of your lives 🥰

[@Drfatmaashraf]

You two are so strong ❤️ he's gonna grow up feeling the most loved person in the whole world ❤️

[@sydneybrown9987]

When my son was a newborn he would always do that thing where they stare off into space and I would always try to get his attention and one time my husband said let him stare at the wall. He’s never seen a right angle before he’s amazed! To this day it cracks me up 😂

[@ClaireDaly151]

Yes, we all should stare at the wall a little more and stop taking those right angles for granted - they are one of the most useful types of architecture! 😅

[@SWaldbillig928]

Seriously, thanks for the realistic routine as others have stated! I have a 4 month old and although, mine is very fussy, it was great to see that I’m not weird in how I do things.

[@insideself1471]

I really enjoyed it, found it interesting. Never been around a baby like that, so thanks for the detailed log.I loved it. Milo is gorgeous, as are you two with him! And Phew, it does sound exhausting! xxx

[@lucyormsbywilliams3047]

so lovely to see such a loved baby

[@michellezuniga4340]

Welcome back to KZbin!!! We've missed you !!! 🥰🌷 I loved this video!! I want to be a mom one day and there's so much things that I did not know!!!! Would you be able to tell us more about the nurse and the process with that? That would be so helpful for new parents!!! Thank you for allowing us into your home !!!! ❤❤💕💕 I can't wait for another KZbin video!!

[@katekardol4821]

Milo is a lucky kid! You two are great parents. The early months/years are unrelenting many days but it gets easier. ❤

[@lauradelucastroia4191]

His chin is so cute! Baby smiles are adorable! My baby is 22 years old. Sigh. 💕

[@jayceenicole6563]

“give it here malfoy!” i’m dying I love that!!

[@amalexander7711]

Aw! I was the same way with my daughter - the first diaper i ever changed was my daughter’s when she was born. Congratulations!

[@rachelle2227]

My baby is a month old, and our sleeping schedule is so messed up still. I hope we get to a more normal schedule like you guys in the next month. She likes to cluster feed at night/ the evening, so we usually don’t go to sleep until 10pm or 12am, then don’t wake up for the day until noon, and sometimes I still need another hour sleep. It doesn’t help that my husband and I need a lot of sleep, then it always takes some time to fall asleep after feeds, so we need to have an even longer sleep window for ourselves.

[@patty378]

Thats very normal and will even out as your baby gets older. Keep naps to under 2 hours during the day and try to get her out as much as you can during daylight hours so her internal clock can reset to a 7pm to 7am schedule as she gets closer to 3 months

[@lueshelman7608]

so happy you're back! I loveee your videos

[@jovitadsouza8281]

Hey sister Lucie you and your baby are so cute . You know I love to see you , Micheal and milo together .
