A Day In Our Life As New Parents!

[@gracekamau5098]

Thanks for always "doing you and staying true" and showing us a realistic picture of motherhood and parenthood. Sending all positive vibes and love to your beautiful family

[@SS-cu8se]

I'm a new mom too! My son is 12 weeks :') One thing motherhood has taught me is how important having a supportive partner is. It makes parenting more enjoyable and less exhausting, both physically and mentally. I am so grateful for my husband's help. Single mothers are heroes and deserve the world.

[@piapenny]

The newborn phase is no joke! She’s so darn cute tho. It’s crazy how it’s just as beautiful as it is challenging. I love the teamwork between you two.

[@ccchantel]

This video is so cute. The way y’all work together ...Maya your God ordained marriage is so encouraging!! Love y’all.

[@blank3115]

Amen 🙏🏽 He loves her with Christ’s love… and he’s attracted to her and loves her as a wife and partner… two separate things if that makes sense…it’s the purest example I have ever seen in my life.

[@debrieannaeddins8789]

As an expecting first time mom I have been loving the realness in these vlogs, its like a peak into the future for me, most KZbinrs only show the positives and don't really share what its really like so I appreciate that you guys do.

[@Findingpurpose4me]

Girl same here. Thanks for sharing now I feel normal. Both of my kids love being held and breastfeeding 24/7. They use me like a pacifier for comfort as well and refuse to use actual pacifiers lol. I just had my daughter and now that I'm juggling two I feel so bummed out that I can't get much done around the house. I had to remind myself that it's only been six weeks and that it's an adjustment. My sleep schedule and energy levels are just not the same as they used to be. Being a mother requires constant adjusting. I'm trying to be more patient with myself and understanding that the household is just going to be in disarray for awhile. In the meantime I'm soaking up the time I have with my children and the time left over I spend taking care of myself.

[@LisaYoungmpp]

Awww!!! Saga is so precious!! I know theses days and nights are really long now, but the years are so short! Saga’s growing beautifully and she’ll be a talking and walking toddler before you know it! Thank you for sharing your day in the life as parents 🥰🥰

[@blank3115]

Your videos are the only ones that give me hope. After 15 years of abuse and living a lie with a narcissist it ended in him leaving me and my kids. I miss when they were babies and long to experience that with a kind and true partner. It is usually trigger for me to watch these type of things as I missed out so much, but I’m reminded I have so much and God can and will still give me an amazing partner.

[@fexquisite1]

You are not alone in this experience. Praying that God give you peace and healing in your journey. He is ever faithful 🙏🏽.

[@BETH..._...]

Organically transparent parent life- beautiful humans! Thank you for letting us in♡

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Thank YOU for joining us! 🙏🏻🙏🏽❤️

[@adamassenburg3477]

I FEEL YALL!! You have no idea how much I feel y'all. My little baby girl is 5 months now and y'all lives look like me and my husband's life in the beginning. I feel like all my baby did was cry and she always wanted to be held. My husband and I did "shift work"..lol. Pumping and nursing AND trying to get very basic things taken care of was extremely difficult. And that was WITH a support system! I just want to tell you that it gets SOO much better and you both are doing exceptionally great. Keep it up and keep sharing. Let people know the REAL... BABIES CRY!!!! ALOT...LOL

[@Bolder_Lebza]

Hi Maya! You are glowing with new mommy vibes. Just wondering how isJackie adjusting with Saga around? Sending you all God’s blessings as these moments are super special and go so fast!

[@RenataTheDreemer]

Can we get a video of cooking lessons from Max? Lol seriously ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this channel. It’s been amazing watching Mya’s brand grow and now watching this family blossom into the awesomeness you constantly move towards everyday. I literally only come to KZbin for this.

[@susanl8592]

I love the realness in this vlog!! Thank you Maya and Max! I just rewatched an older video you posted on your other channel, the one titled Alone during covid19 grwm, Maya you said at the end I want my own farm and garden! Girl, look at your life right now!! Words are so powerful!! ❤ You can see the love between you and Max when you guys kiss and interact! Its beautiful and pure!! 🥰💛

[@shamelessmaya]

I did didn’t I!

[@TheHolyLofi]

Thank you for all the time and effort you make to create a lovely vlog for us & inviting us into your life. :-)

[@MaraMara4u]

Wrapping the baby would give you guys the most so much room to do more and get sleep and a real break even together and the baby would be so happy! When they are born they want to feel like they are in the womb and when their arms and legs are free they can’t control their own body so they are fidgety 😬 My gift to every new mom is always a baby wrap! It’s a game changer!

[@ItsGr82BUnique39]

Maya, Max, and Saga are such a beautiful family. And Maya, I love how when your Mom called and Max was trying to explain that he was doing a promotion, she kept right on and wanted to speak to Saga! Lol.. I wish only the very best for your family and thank you for sharing your lives with us. Peace and blessings !

[@mademoisellecm1]

What a lovely family.

[@MaxMayaLiving]

🙏🏻🙏🏽

[@lbain6859]

So enjoyed the truth of marriage, sharing, and parenting in this video. Reminding us that Love is patient Love is Kind especially when it’s difficult

[@MamacitaNatural]

Awe poor Saga… I wonder if she’s colicky. Parents kudos to you for keeping things together so well & just staying sane

[@OperaLuv16]

Recently found your channel and I love it. I love the coziness of your loving family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us.

[@2studiosinc62]

Thank you for sharing your DITL with us, Max and Maya! Saga is fresh out of the oven, and she misses that tight cocoon where she grew and bonded with you. Y’all are doing great as new parents, and she will love watching your videos when she gets older. It was great to see my girl Jackie! Is she enjoying Saga? Your love for each other is magic! Happy Indigenous People’s Day from NYC!! 🙏🏽😘

[@carlenebrooks6802]

Your daughter is beautiful you both must be proud. From the videos she is attached to both parents and loves being on the go. So sweet. Keep being a loving and caring family. The world needs more families like yours. God Bless.

[@camyllefleming280]

sending blessings to your home. ya'll are doing so great.

[@PrincessSavannah1]

Try an electric swing for the baby or a baby battery powered swing. it worked for me:)

[@amber_0315]

I love you Maya! You are my inspiration... I love your family, and your husband is amazing! You both are heaven sent to each other, along with your beautiful bundle of the greatest joy of all! I pray that the union and the bond you all have, will definitely get stronger and stronger, and closer and closer! Happiness, and blessings shall surround you guys forever... May The Lord keep you all covered and protected! God Bless!

[@ADivaForLife]

A family that prays 🙏🏽 together … ❤️❤️ Stays together 😍😍

[@temiloluwaadeniyi-aogo5554]

This was so wholesome to watch. Thank you guys for sharing this part of your lives with us!

[@MaxMayaLiving]

We are so grateful for you 🙏🏻🙏🏽

[@scoutmass]

Broccoli ( I love) but it can cause gas. You might want to restructure your diet Maya so she has less gas that hurts and babies do not like gas pain. Review your ingested veggies and see.

[@fexquisite1]

I agree! So many nuances as a new mom and it is absolutely major key to learn/notice potential food sensitivities with breastfeeding. Soon all of this will be 2nd nature and you’ll hit a rhythm. Yall are doing great!

[@1Charioteer]

So true. Didn't think of that.

[@melissaukph]

I'm a new mum too and my hubby helps me so much. Can relate to so much in this video 💜 you're both doing great

[@nedaschulz128]

man, I was crying at the end :') Such a beautiful family living a beautiful life. Loving the spirit.

[@ladeller]

All three of you are just PERFECT!!! Greetings from a Canadian living in Australia 🇦🇺

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Hope you are well down under 🙏🏻🙏🏽❤️

[@ladeller]

I am blessed and grateful to be alive. It’s just lonely without anyone or family. I’ve been here for 21 years now. Australia in itself is beautiful though 🥰

[@leMignonne]

I love all *4 of you!💙🤍💛🤎 (*Dog definitely included!🥰)…We are a “mixed” race couple, we have 2 daughters & we love your videos! My husband is “white” & I am “black” by American standards🤎🤍. We wish to one day travel to Sweden! It seems beautifully simplistic!🇸🇪. Much Love from Indianapolis, Indiana🏁

[@EmorettaRobinson]

It was so cute how Jackie was by the door ready to go in the beginning. And I've never heard of a broccoli pie. But I love broccoli so I like the idea of it. I also like the lights outside of your home and how you've decorated. To be honest I like how good the two of you are together. I remember watching Maya's video from when she was still in the U.S and how she was saying it's how Max loved her that was different. As someone who has been in an abusive and toxic relationship in the past (thank God I'm out of it) one of the things that I'm learning is what a healthy relationship is like. There's a woman named Lisa Nichols and I once heard her say "You deserve to be loved in a healthy way." I wrote it on a sticky note and put it over my bed because it stuck with me and was so profound. But when I see you two that's what I think of. I think of an example of healthy love. Thank you for sharing with us.❤

[@wendypines1989]

Such a nice vlog. The teamwork between you two is so great. Ms. Saga is so beautiful these are the hardest times but also the most precious.

[@QueenofKuti]

So happy to see you adjusting to motherhood so well 😊💗 I had a clingy first baby too but once i started tying her on my back I had a knew lease of life! Dad tied her on his back too and she loved it!

[@PatricaRose]

I keep repeating Do You, Be You, Stay True, Be SHAMELESS to myself!! I haven't been around long enough to ever have heard you say this. It's awesome

[@jayduncan9315]

I love you two for keeping it real 100%! I teach childbirth prep and often send my class participants to your channel to get a realistic glimpse into newborn parenting life! You are phenomenal parents! Your teamwork is legendary! Keep going...you’re killing it!!

[@wairimuk2296]

This! My husband and I have found taking night shifts with our newborn to be a lifesaver! It’s such a relief to give eachother time to sleep and recharge

[@najomiecournoyer2604]

At 6:13 I literally said "awwww" you guys are adorable. Thank you for making this amazing content. I love seeing your lives, the good and the less good. You guys give us the perfect mix of pretty and vulnerable. Love you guys

[@SashaHali]

You guys are the realest🙌🏽. Congrats on your princess! Mine is coming in 2 weeks💕

[@blandinavalerio6197]

What a wonderful life you've created for yourselves. I've followed Mayas journey all the way here, so happy for you guys! Beautiful little family❤

[@vivianreid4575]

Happy you two are doing well! The baby is beautiful! Stay well.

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏽

[@debbiedo-er9672]

Wow...you guys are really good parents. Saga is sooooo blessed!

[@vickicampbell2736]

Broccoli may be very gastric for breast feeding mom. baby may get a little discomfort. Get Gripe water. Helps baby stomach My husband loves cooking too. He makes all the holiday meals and makes meals whenever he likes ❤️

[@kimigirl4794]

Just popping in to say the content was phenomenal (as usual) but the editing of the video was exceptionally well done! Excellent job at capturing the realism, like the photography collage to whoops this is real life with baby crying in the background lol. And I don’t when it’s the last time I saw a realistic view of a kitchen during and after a meal, that’s hasn’t been staged and where everything is perfect. Honestly it makes me want to try the recipe lol. And great team work guys!

[@WanderlustIndie]

awww she is literally the perfect blend of mom and dad

[@alisonhilaire4170]

I feel like you are getting into a good routine already with Saga, that's really great after just a few months. As usual, your videos are so peaceful, perfect for Sundays.

[@joannawhite8201]

All is Well Maya and Max your daughter Saga has a winning combination for parents , you both work well together . thanks for sharing.

[@GinaCriv]

Yes girl, get you a man who jumps in there and does it too...I'm loving Max for this. And Maya, you're a great new mom; I know it's hard but keep it moving with patience and a sense of humor. We didn't sleep straight through the night until my daughter was 4 years old. It does get better. These day in the life might seem mundane and boring to you guys to film, but I think it endears you to your viewers. Peace and namaste to you all.

[@TravelWell333]

That mean mug in the car Saga gave was priceless 😭

[@NunyaHarmonee]

Lol.... 2 months in and having a schedule??? 😂🤣 And then it changes! New parents, remember to be gentle with yourself. I had a hard time with this concept of having grace. Max and Maya, thank you for this beautiful glimpse into your daily life with the gorgeous Saga. 💜💙❤️ My heart smiles for you all. Have you tried using a Moby wrap instead of the carrier? It's a different feeling than the carrier and may be better for Saga to relax. However, continue to full joy her cries and all. My daughter is 3 years old now and every time I hear a baby cry, I melt and think about how I miss the sound of crying. Nuts right!!!!?

[@SymonnePat]

Can you do a video on how you introduced your dog to your baby? Im currently pregnant with my first and don’t even know where to begin. My dog is super sweet and not aggressive at all in nature but I’ve heard of dogs getting jealous of the new addition.

[@mariaroginska6383]

Got the same with the carrier (except we use a sling) - got to move all the time. And I feel you when it comes to housework-want to do so many necessary things but at the end of a day it turns out it wasn't really possible. But it's awesome to see you - love your vlogs. It's my special treat:)

[@HANNAAHMED.]

Dear Maya, Im so happy for you and Max, congrats to your newborn. I have been following you since the big chop, got inspired from that video and and did it my self 6 years ago :D. I am so happy for you Maya, thank you for following your journey. WELCOME TO SWEDEN, welcome home

[@shamion1988]

Put a piece of your clothing next to her when she falls asleep so she can smell you. It may song weird..but it works...it comforts them. P.S - something that was worn...not washed loll...like a bra or T-shirt.

[@LungileNgcobo]

This video has made my heart happy ♥️ so authentic and such a beautiful family x

Love the truthfulness in being new parents 💯.. yes twin vibes are here lol 😂 ❤️, I think that is done purposely by God so Daddy can bond with the babies 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️..

[@MaxMayaLiving]

Interesting take 😂❤️

[@ADivaForLife]

@@MaxMayaLiving .. 🤣🤣😍 I really believe that💯💯.. mommy bonds hard with the baby., breast feeding 🤱.. having the baby growing inside them., love the the daddies holding the baby after be birth also but the 🍒 cherry on 🔝 is they look so much like 👍🏽 the Dads they just in the first two years it’s like glue lol 😆 then you see the split mommy’s smile Daddy’s eyes… etc by then a there’s a whole bond ❤️❤️❤️., I’m a nut 🥜 lol

First time commenting Maya..I first saw a video of you from your early days in Tkaronto, I love this channel and your adorable family and little Saga..Congratulations to you and hubby Max. Love it.

[@ShakiraKGardner]

Saga will be heard! It’s only temporary! Gripe water is a very natural way to help relieve gas that helps with calming. If she’s potentially gassy. A tip that helped me. 💗💗

Maya- I know you had doula services when you were pregnant but did they offer any services after the birth?

[@solarsky3691]

Love your family vlogs😍 I also love Max sun and moon pj pants. I have been looking everywhere for some.

[@fatoumatadiarra8993]

since it's your first baby, she's all cute, it's new for your guys so I guess you made her used to be hold since birth .So that's the reason why now you're kind of trapped with her being on the carrier. My brother has a big family and his wife used to do the same mistake when she got the first babies she used to pick them up all the time and kids as young as babies know it and they want to be hold. when I got my son I was breastfeeding him, then I put him down, he was really a quiet baby, he was only crying for good reasons. I was even working out to lose extra weight and he was just watching me without crying that was great.

[@momenga9088]

Ohh thank you for the vlog. It was very realistic. I can promise it's gonna be better. Maybe u can sit on the gymnastics ball for working or something. It's work's for me very well and maybe for u guy's too. Which u nothing but the best 💌

This was beautiful. Thanks for sharing! It's interesting to see how people in other countries do things. And what a blessing to have a cleaner! Great job Max in dinner. And Maya, how amazing you are as a Mom! So happy to see new gadgets to help with breast feeding. Technology rocks!

[@carwash38]

I just love this family 🥰. LOL@9:28 (Do that parent bounce Max)

[@sophieclark1813]

Such a good video. Just some advice - baby carrier needs to hold your baby much higher on your chest, close enough to kiss so you are more aware of her airway. As she gets bigger and her torso gets longer you sit the carrier lower on your waist but she always needs to be close enough to kiss so her forehead is just under your chin. This usually means putting the waist of the carrier high on mid section when they’re newborn

[@1stladyadrianelizabeth787]

Hey guys, i'm glad that life is treating you fine, and Saga is beautiful! Have you asked the doctor about her breathing? There is another youtuber name Nikkie O, who has a vlog about her son crying a lot, not being able to sleep much and being fussy when he was a baby. Come to find out he needed surgery on his nose area. I wish i had the link to share with you all, but i don't. May blessing continue to follow you all....
