A FULL DAY WITH AN INFANT | DAILY ROUTINE 5 MONTH OLD BABY |Erika Ann

[@lora1492]

PS: She is totally adorable/beautiful. Such a good baby. You are so blessed to have the technology we have to day. I am 78 and have just few pictures of my two children 60 and 53. I would love to have had videos like this of them.

[@janetlesleypowers9529]

How long do you spend in eye-to-eye contact, communicating with your baby? For example when she has her bottle... And then she is mesmerised by videos on your phone! Babies brains develop massively in their first year, when communication with their parent is much more beneficial than videos or TV!!

[@lizyy1479]

Incredible mum❤️your baby will see this in the future and she'll just realise how she's lucky to have a mum like you❤️

[@ErikaAnn]

Thank you so much! This is one of my favorite videos to look back on.

[@mayrar7729]

Respectfully read about babies watching tv, ipads, phones or any other electronics at this early age. That could be the reason she is sleeping so little during the day, mine is 5 m, at first she was exposed to a tv not watching it but it was near by during the day, as soon as i could got her away from it and any electronics she sleeps way better now.

[@ErikaAnn]

I respect your advice. But now that Brynlee is older her 2 naps a day are great (much longer). Not all babies are good nappers in the beginning.

[@evelinevelin6282]

@@ErikaAnn may I ask you how much you were feeding and how many times

[@PinkBlushGlamour]

Erika Ann you are doing a fabulous job 💗 babies learn naturally. Sometimes all the tips and tricks only work for so long. Our babies teach us what works for them at a particular age & it’s a beautiful thing 💕😘

[@shannonryan32]

Yep blue light! too much screens make my sleep terrible too 😫

[@lora1492]

It is nice to see a mother hold her baby while feeding, makes them feel loved and enjoy feeding much more enjoyable.

[@joanmisenheimer5894]

Your daughter is adorable. So happy she knows she’s loved. 🥰🥰🙏

[@sgtigereye]

13:20 had me cracking up. Been there many times and it always cracks me up how baby just looks at you like nothing happened.

[@jto9202]

I love how most moms are very detailed with the sleeping time (how long and when). Great to know most are also like that. Great video! And great job to all moms and dads. 😀 all of our hard work and exhaustion are worth it

[@bellesecrete8227]

She’s so adorable!! God Bless her. I can very well relate to those 20,30min naps .. my 5month old baby girl does the same.. I hardly get time to do anything.. and she cries to sleep during her bed time.. hope this time flies by soon!!

[@ashleyw7718]

Omg I envy the long nappers too. I can’t even put baby down without her waking up and immediately wanting to be held again. I envy YOU for being able to put her into the crib

[@carinapereira4879]

My baby is 5 months and 3 weeks and she sleeps 30-40 minutes naps, I feel your struggle, but at least she sleeps 10 hours at night

[@ErikaAnn]

Ugh, it's rough!!

[@allysonlovelace2433]

I never usually comment on videos but my son is a week younger then your daughter. He is my second and I noticed inorder to get him to take longer naps I put him in his sleep sack like when he sleeps at night. I hope that helps ! She is beautiful btw😊

[@ErikaAnn]

I will try this again! Thank you!

[@victoriaparks9269]

I completely relate with the sleep training I hold and rock my baby girl every chance I get. Those moments are so precious

[@ErikaAnn]

Yes they are!!

[@ashleysuzanne9743]

I have a 5 month old and he was doing short naps too. I put blackout curtains in his room and it helped him so much with sleeping longer. The light tends to wake them up sooner.

[@ErikaAnn]

Hers claim to be blackout but I think I need to get floor length ones!

[@ashleysuzanne9743]

Erika Ann probably so. They say if you can see your hand in front of your face when you go in their room its not dark enough.

[@ambermiracle1992]

Awe she's so precious. Do you give a bottle when putting her down for a nap? If not try a warm bottle for nap time maybe she'll sleep a little longer. You're doing a great job mama

[@ErikaAnn]

I tried that the other day and it totally confused her and threw everything off. She's not typically hungry for 3 hours after a bottle 🤷‍♀️

[@Thewelshgrumble]

I love watching you rock her. Especially because of your previous heartbreak. She is beautiful.

[@ErikaAnn]

I treasure moments like that!

[@persinette7363]

I love your choice of songs. What a cute and special video.

[@ErikaAnn]

Thank you!!

[@alexusalsandor3009]

Omg I love ur video I definitely need to try this with my son he’ll be 6 months soon and I’m still learning he’s my first child ❤️❤️❤️ thanks so much for making this video

[@jinialam]

Don't give your child that much screen time. it's harmful

[@Lisa_V]

She is so adorable 😍🥰 My daughter is 8 mths ( 5 mths adjusted) and she takes 20 Min naps too😩😩 and wakes up at least 3 xs a night . I can not wait until she sleeps through the night 😩🥺 Mama is tired lol

[@irockstar7744]

I feel annoying commenting this as I know you've tried so many things and this video is 2 weeks old at this point. But I believe a huge reason she might struggle with naps is because she is used to being rocked to sleep. So when she wakes up a little at the top of her sleep cycle and realizes she isnt being rocked in mommies arms anymore she isnt able to put herself back to sleep. Being able to put themselves to sleep helps so much for naps and when sleep regressions hit! But as you mentioned you enjoy doing it so obviously do you mama.

[@alinarshad8995]

Love your video and the b/ground music really nice and soothe..my baby boy now 5 months 23 days😊

[@jinialam]

I didn't sleep Train my baby..but he's sleeping through the night since 8weeks. Now he's almost 5months old..he takes 3naps atleast 2hr each..and wake window is 2 to 3hours. Then he sleeps for 8hrs straight. I dream feed him 2times.we are co-sleeping so it's not a big deal for me

[@ErikaAnn]

Consider yourself VERY lucky!

[@renchilomurry8299]

Even though it's short nap if the baby is not crying it's heaven...coz my baby cry most of the time which is tiredsum...and frustrating.. Coz I hv to keep on walking and shaking.....

[@methib3306]

Who can dislike such cute video 😞

[@oliunderappletre]

Maybe try a sleep bag for longer nap. It’s hard with a small child l have a 5 month old and l understand the struggles. You are doing great!!

[@RosesandBlingPapercrafts]

Brynlee, Roxy and Tucker are so adorable 😍 She’s so cute with her daddy! Lillian is sleeping through the night but she’s a night owl as she cluster feeds (still breastfeeding) in the evenings. Lillian’s usually has 2 day naps one at 10ish am and a second one around 2ish pm. She will only nap in her swing or on the floor on her play mat during the day. She hates sleeping in her bed during the day. We also do eat play sleep with 3 to 4 hours between feeds. I don’t sleep train though just follow Lilly’s tired cues. Her day naps are anywhere between 45mins (for the day) up to 3 hours. We also use modern cloth nappies as we have land fill issues where I live. Our little Maltese Shih tzu is a licker too 😆 And I’m with you on the outfit changes 🤣 Lillian loves to watch and listen Elmo on Sesame Street.

[@ErikaAnn]

Aw, I love your updates Kim!! I'll have to introduce Brynlee to Sesame Street!

[@evaboese2407]

Love your videos and your a great Mom, Id like to gave you an idea of how I think your baby could sleep longer by gaving her a a blanket when you put her down for a nep!!

[@grasslifebeauty8900]

Eva Boese she’s a really great mother... I can tell.

[@saniamariamkhan8879]

Do you do tummy time as well ?

[@bridgetg1027]

Love this vid . She is precious. First time mom here wanted to ask you if you could Remem how much milk was she drinking at 5 month old and how long would you feed her for . I find with my lil one I try and feed her within an hour but later shez always hungry for more . Can really mess up 3 hourly feed schedule that I try and follow . Much love x

[@Moxi44]

Do these catnaps have to do something w the age? Mine is also 5 months old and she sleeps 40 min. Very rarely 1,5 hours, but it is so tiring. Does it get better? And what time does she go to bed?

[@BeautifulAmbition88]

How many oz was she drinking? And also could you tell me the names of the songs :)

[@oishizaman5231]

How often do u feed her? Baby daughter Only takes 17 oz of formula in 24 hrs 😣she is 5+ and i hv no idea how can i increase the amount of feeding 😥

[@ErikaAnn]

Consult her pediatrician of you're concerned!

[@sarandazenuni1286]

I have the same problem with my son he drinks so little, i consulted with his pediatrican she said me maybe he is not hungry,but im woried. How is your girl now?

[@selahgrace5162]

I remember when my daughter took naps like that , she still does sometimes , that’s when I just let her take her naps on me . And now I miss it so much because now she just want to put herself asleep . She has a fit whenever I cuddle her to sleep .

[@nasirawan3703]

Which milk u give to her nd how mny ownz she drink at one time

[@orenii1]

Are her hands covered in case she scratches herself or so she doesn't get cold?

[@ErikaAnn]

For scratching! She was bad about that at this age!

[@taylorrmichelle]

Have you tried the Amber Teething necklace or anklet? If so has it helped her any with the teething?

[@ErikaAnn]

I have tried the anklet and it didn't seem to help unfortunately. The necklace makes me too nervous.

[@lora1492]

Forgot to mention I like to listen to you and baby, not loud music

[@Thewelshgrumble]

Do you give her bottles before nap time? If not try it and see if she sleeps longer. I give mine a warm bottle before naps (he gets 2 a day) and then a bottle before bed at night. Works like a charm.

[@ErikaAnn]

I've tried this and it threw everything off because she's used to eating and then playing. Plus, she wouldn't be hungry yet for another bottle. 🤷‍♀️

[@Thewelshgrumble]

@@ErikaAnn once she eats solids I think things will start to change as far as her sleeping goes. Full belly, more of a restful sleep happens... loving your videos!

[@ErikaAnn]

@@Thewelshgrumble that's a great point! Let's hope!!

when she sleep you put the mitten for not direct eat the finger??? or you have another reason fot that???

I used them at this age because she was scratching her face a lot while she slept.

I hope you know that tv before the age of three can be extremely effective on their health

[@ErikaAnn]

I hope you know that you can make your own decisions for your own children and let others do the same without telling them they're wrong. 🙃

[@lwandisazazini5946]

Have you tried putting her on her stomach when sleeping?🤷🏿‍♀️ I don't have a child yet but I've noticed that works alot ❤👍

[@ErikaAnn]

She actually prefers to sleep on her side. If she rolls onto her stomach, she usually gets frustrated and wakes up. 😕

Babies are significantly more likely to suffer sudden infant death syndrome if placed to sleep on their front.

I wish my 5 month old was this content. Mine just screams most of the day. No way I could put him on a playmat to just hangout while I did makeup or something..he would just scream bloody murder the whole time

[@ErikaAnn]

Sending you hugs. Brynlee went through this stage a few months prior to this. It gets easier, I promise. ❤️

[@laurene1389]

Wow...20-30 min naps?!? That has to be very tough on you! I had my kids on a 3-hr schedule during the day for the eat, play, sleep routine so their first nap was around 10/10:30-ish and that was usually their longest nap of the day--at least 2 hours. Her room also seems pretty bright, good blackout curtains make a world of difference. You're doing a great job, she's beautiful :-)

[@ErikaAnn]

It is definitely rough!! I would love her to take 2 hour naps!

[@love-pr3cx]

[@alexwilliams2672]

Hey girl I remember in your videos you having a hard time with Brinley crying a lot. I currently have a 5 week old that if she is not asleep she is crying and she seems to have a lot of tummy issues. Brinley looks so happy now! Have things gotten easier than they were in the beginning? I need some hope that things get easier 😭

[@ErikaAnn]

Oh yes! I think their little tummies have so much adjusting to do in the beginning that it causes all kinds of gas and sensitivity. Makes sense! She has gotten SO much better though, we never have to use gas drops anymore! And she definitely cries with a purpose now, no more of that "purple crying" like in the beginning. If you haven't heard of that phase, I highly suggest looking it up!

[@alexwilliams2672]

Erika Ann Thank you girl that makes me feel so much better knowing this is only temporary! I love my little girl so much but I’m ready for her to be happy and to be able to play with her!
