As an avid KZbin watcher and rarely ever a commenter, I’m so disappointed to hear the comments on the last video were so negative. I LOVE your videos for the realness. Thanks for being vulnerable and creating awesome content! ❤️

[@jaimelyn7175]

Agree! The trolls need to go!

[@amberstiffler7985]

I agree there has been a lot of negative people commenting things that really hurt. Not only is it happening to Bianca but to other youtubers as well. That a lot of them are quitting KZbin because they are extremely tired of the nasty comments that people post that is not needed. That is even after those youtubers have told them to stop and not comment. I agree they need to stop and think that those mon KZbin are people too and words hurt (even if you don’t know them face to face words still hurt).

[@HAppytobeHer]

Same here!

[@emilyr6316]

Bianca your dedication to BFing is incredible, you should definitely be so proud of yourself! You are an amazing momma!! 💕

[@Christina_Sanchez1316Vlogs]

I'm sorry to hear that you're having all that negativity. You're doing a great job as a wife, a mother, a content creator. It takes a lot for somebody to go out of their way to provide content for people. I've been trying to create content and still haven't got the hang of it but down the road I know for a fact that there's always going to be negativity. I'm glad you're speaking out about it because if people don't like your content they shouldn't be watching it or putting their two cents into it. Good luck.

[@emilycummins2493]

Sending you guys all of the good vibes! Being a mom is hard enough without the added pressure and stress of it all being on the internet. I love your content, rain or shine, and hope you feel better!!!

[@janellalarid9678]

Sending extra love and prayers for you and your family. I'm 4 months pp and it can feel lonely, I always look forward to your videos!

[@laurenrethwill576]

I can completely relate to everything you’re feeling. I had my daughter in March too and if I didn’t get back on my anxiety medication right after I had her I don’t think I would be doing well mentally. Hang in there mama, being a new parent is hard as hell!! You’re doing fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️

[@vcxkarmen]

Bianca! I’m a SAHM of a 2 year old and a 4 month old + a fur mama to a 70lb pit. Postpartum is an extremely difficult journey. I’m also having a hard time adjusting, struggling with energy, feel like I’m losing myself, no will to cook, clean, eat. But because of you I bought a Kindle, I’ve had it for less than a week and have read 3 books! Thank you for keeping it real and sharing your true PP journey. You will overcome this!

[@ashfam5]

I absolutely love you and cannot fathom someone saying anything rude about the person you are.. you are a great mother.. motherhood is hard and Noone is perfect! Keep being you! I am loving the shoes!!!

[@alanievillasenor3211]

That first year is so so hard and soooo draining. It’s beautiful and I wouldn’t trade it for the world but I was so tired all of the time. My son went through a sleep regression at 4 months that a couple lasted months. He would wake every 45 min to 2 hours. I had planned to go back to work but I ended up just quitting around that time because of how truly exhausted I was. It’s so hard when you feel like you’re barely staying afloat but you’re doing great!

[@adrienned.3600]

Hi Bianca! I’ve been watching you since I got pregnant around the same time you did. I followed your whole journey, I unfortunately experienced a traumatic birth experience, and because of that my postpartum has been so hard. Especially being a first time mom, I just wanted you to know your videos bring me joy. Because you are so real!! You don’t sugar coat everything. And for me, it has helped, seeing others struggle too. It’s not easy, it’s beautiful and wonderful, but it’s not easy. Many things you say you have gone through, I have myself, so being able to relate to you is everything. Don’t listen to what anyone says, everyone will always have something to say, but at the end of the day that is YOUR family and she is YOUR baby. Keep doing what you’re doing, you have lots of us who support you and enjoy all your videos. Postpartum is tough. The last thing we need is people making comments that aren’t needed, especially being in the heightened sensitivity we are in. Wishing you all the best and I hope everything starts to look up for you ❤️❤️

[@Makeuplove330]

My babe is 8 months old and contact naps. I was bored of always playing on my phone while she sleeps so you inspired me to start reading. I LOVE IT. It makes the time go by faster and all of your book recs have been amazing. THANK YOU ❤️

[@marynorha]

Just take your time with everything and enjoy your baby now too !! Being a first time mother is hard too!! You are just doing fine!! My daughter is turning 18 on august 30th too!!??

[@keridalton7208]

I had my daughter a year ago and once I hit 5 months everything hit me hard. They need a lot right now, it gets easier! Keep up your hard work, and thank you for being so real. It is very hard to see so many people “have it together”. It takes time to find our new version of ourselves!

[@samanthajuarez0406]

I love you Bianca!!! It’s ok to take days for yourself! You need days to just relax and not film your day. Post partum is very hard… I ended up getting on medication for it and I feel way better! And also having friends to talk to you about it helps as well. I reached out to your mom! I’m hoping she relayed that message to you 💕 I’m here for you girl!!

[@HAppytobeHer]

You’re sweet little family is the cutest ever, I’m so glad you choose to share online! Do doubt it’s hard and not everyone gets the vibes - but you have such a unique channel and it always feels like home movies to me! 💕

[@TaliaLea]

sometimes im accidentally a ghost watcher but just wanted to say i watch all of your videos & love the realness and you’re an AMAZING mother!!! 🤍

[@shannensantonja8673]

You are doing great, please give yourselves grace. Please don’t take the rude comments of ppl that are not in your circumstance to heart. You are healing and adjusting and navigating life with a sweet babe! She’s beautiful! 😍🥰 I love your content and I’m living for the Sutton content. I have been watching you since your freshman year of college! I love you guys! Keep going you’re doing great!! Also talking to someone really helps other than your spouse. It’s totally normal what you’re feeling. I didn’t have a baby and I’m feeling down too! I feel like I just take breaks from social media when needed. 💕💕💕

[@youlike2waffle2000]

I absolutely love your videos! I'm a first time mum, due November 16th, I've found your vlogs so helpful, learning along the way. You and Collin are doing an amazing job as new parents and dog parents

[@lilijana5688]

I felt the exact same when my son was 5 months. The 4/5/6months period was soooo hard. The lack of sleep (he woke up every 1 or 2 hours), the hormones, anxiety.. it is so hard when you are in it. But it will get better and you are doing awesome. If it gets too overwelming dont be afraid to reach out for help.

[@kaiondalyles583]

Hey mama!!! It’s going to be okay🫶🏾 thank you for being so open, makes me feel like I’m not alone. You are human and you deserve a break sometimes. From your job and what ever else! Keep doing you B💚

[@nicolemerci220]

Literally look forward to your videos weekly and seeing you be so laid back and learning as you go with Sutton has helped me with my newborn and reminds me every time to just take it easy. You’re doing great 🤍

[@swm4lfe713]

So sorry to hear about the negativity, you are such a bright light and you don't deserve any of that! I don't ever comment much but I started watching you when I found out I was pregnant and now I'm 36 + 3, I for one am super grateful to have been able to watch your familys journeys. Thank you for all you do Bianca! 💜

[@rachbelz]

Hi Bianca, I totalllllly can relate. Postpartum has been so rough for me mentally, I felt fine up until a couple months ago and I just feel like now I am struggling. I am so blah most days where I just don't get excited to do things anymore like I used to but I know my hormones are just all over the place and that's most likely why. Anyways just wanted to say I can relate and I appreciate you keeping it raw and real because there are others watching this video struggling. It helps to know that postpartum is hard for every one and not just me. :/ Sometimes ppl on social media can make it seem all happy and go lucky 24-7 but that's just not the reality of it.

[@sheakmontes6339]

You’re doing a great job Bianca! Motherhood, especially when it’s new, is SO hard! Just remember, if it’s working for your family then it’s working. Other opinions don’t matter🤍

[@morganveller2114]

I’ve been watching you since the college days! We actually both graduated from ECU the same year so I’ve always been able to relate to you, even now even though I’m single and no where near having kids. Your videos are my comfort every week! I just love your energy, your fam is the cutest and I live for all of your recommendations and links! We like a lot of the same stuff. Don’t let all the negativity outweigh everyone who loves you. You’re doing great! 💕

[@stephanied1810]

Raising a child is hard and lots of work! You guys are doing awesome! I am 8 months post partum and I feel you when you said it is hard work! You got this girl! Also, I feel you on the exhaustion. I went through similar exhaustion around the time that my baby was Suttons age.

[@Hayleyymonte]

Bianca your pumpkin cream cold brews are almost back!!!

[@TheAngelFH]

Your videos have truly helped me..I have a 4.5 month old and it's been insanely challenging. Watching your videos help me recognize that I am not alone :)

[@luzorozco7509]

I’ve recently started watching your videos and I love your content. My husband and I are also first time parents and you have honestly kept me motivated. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jamiehoch6887]

You're doing awesome! I love how real you keep it, I'm 27 weeks pregnant and love to follow along your journey and rewatch your pregnancy videos that line up with how far along I am. You have support do what's best for you!

[@ChloeCarrett]

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and I do the exact same thing! We love Bianca ❤️

[@muvachi]

The wedding band inspo is how my bands are! I love it

[@belindaposton8903]

Just know you are loved, I enjoy watching and look forward to your videos. Everyone has their own parenting style and we all learn as we go. Sutton is beautiful and looks like she is thriving ❤️

[@zinah101]

Bianca, I love watching your videos. I looking forward to your uploads because it is a mini escape for me, you’re very real and show the reality of life and bumps that happen which makes your vids feel much more personable. I appreciate you and your vids!

[@jessyperry6457]

U are amazing don’t apologize for nothing u are a amazing mum and putting yourself and suton first. I hope u are okay babe love u millions xxxxxx

[@olesyaleontyuk2995]

I’ve been following you guys since day one and you are the only KZbinr that stayed true to yourself and hasn’t changed and that’s why I’ll continue supporting you and your videos truly make my day!! Please don’t ever change 🤍

[@dianaestrada9721]

Good job mama on your supply!! 🤗🤗 you put in all the hard work for the benefit of your child.

[@emmaswanson3632]

Your videos are so great, I literally get so excited when I see a new video is out so just know that you have so many people that love them so much! Please don’t stop making them!! I am a new mom of a 12 week old and am learning so much from you and totally get the exhaustion❤️

[@emmaswanson3632]

I also nevvver comment on videos, but just had to on this one to show you how much I love your content and your fam!!

[@aubreyp3489]

You and Collin are doing so great! Sutton is so happy and we can see that! Love your videos girl. Try and ignore the negative people cause there are so many who love you and your little family! ♥️

[@jackieybarra7562]

i love your videos!!❤️❤️❤️

[@MikkLove]

You are doing amazing!! We are here for you!🤍🤍

[@mariah4544]

Just wanna say that you’re such a great role model to me when it comes to being a mom. I just became a mom myself, my baby is 11 days old and let me just say, breastfeeding is so incredibly hard. I respect you for trying so hard to breastfeed your baby and not quitting… you should feel very proud of yourself! 🧡

[@emmasavenko7767]

you're doing awesome mama! Love watching your videos when I'm pumping haha and our girls are 2 months apart so I love to see what I might be expecting with my little one :) 💕

[@MentalHealthMonday]

You provide a safe and loving home for Sutton. As someone who works in the mental health field you are doing a fantastic job! As a mom it's normal to always question if you are doing enough, but remind yourself that your baby is safe, healthy, and happy you are doing plenty. ❤ It is also normal to have off days or weeks, especially if you aren't getting enough rest which happens with babies. But also reach out for help if you need it. Talking to someone who is objective is extremely helpful.

[@AA28374]

Bianca, I’m sorry you’re struggling. If y’all have access to mental health care I would highly recommend checking into it. They isn’t meant as an insult, so I hope it doesn’t come off as such. Therapy is so beneficial. We could all use it. We live in a very stressful time in general, and I can only assume having a baby makes it more stressful. There shouldn’t be any shame in asking for help. I hope you both get to feeling better soon 💜

[@bethtaubman4017]

I love your vlog and look forward to it every week! Sutton and Murphy are the best!

[@hcampbell]

I always look forward to your vlogs! ✨️

[@victoriaf.7286]

Love you Bianca! You and Collin are doing an amazing job! Give Murphy a hug from Meadow! 💖

[@brhousel]

whoever left negative comments on your video needs a reality check. Your videos are beautiful and authentic and you're doing the best you can! Keep being you, Bianca. Honestly.. I love you!

[@Mareehydration]

Thanks love for all the tips you are the best!! Relating on so many ways as a new mom! Here for u in spirit lol hope ur so well! 💗🧡

[@rachv.h]

I LOVE your videos you inspire me for real. I just had my baby girl on July 9th thank you for making these videos your doing great & youre an amazing mom

[@laurachamblee7588]

I went back to your lactation bite video the other day and made then myself and what a difference they made!! Maybe it’s bc I ate like 10 a day bc they are TOO good!! Thank you sharing it!

[@ken_dis_knee]

I watch you a lot on my tv as such I forget to comment sometimes but that does make me sad to hear people are being negative on your comments. Bianca you are a GREAT mom. Collin is a GREAT dad. And baby Sutton is so cute! I am sending ALL the good vibes your way!! Love you 😍

[@hannahotoole6567]

I’m so sorry you’re feeling down and that people are so rude. The comments should be nothing but helpful! On that note…something that helped my sister in law who has a little one Suttons age. Maybe something worth trying could be to have her sleep in her room. My sis was so worried to have her in a different room but said that they all slept SO much better and it helped their moods so much!

[@strawberrykatnz]

Bianca, I love that you give book recommendations. I just finished reading Red Mountain by Boo Walker. It was a highly recommended read on Amazon last year near my birthday last year and a friend bought it for me. I never laughed so much at any one book, I recommend it to you🙂

[@laurachamblee7588]

I hate to hear you got hurtful comments! Seriously this ish is hard and us new moms and families need ALL the support! I support you guys (: Also the thing is, I’m sure those people would never say those things to your face. The nerve of these people who can hide behind their profiles. I think you’re doing a GREAT job!

[@lpxoxo374]

(I hope you see this, 🌺the edit) Hey Bianca! I just wanted to say that I love your channel and I literally eagerly wait for you to post. Sometimes life is rough, some people are inconsiderate and it's just hard to do you and not let things bother you. As someone that turns to your channel to get away from tough moments I just want to let you know that your content is amazing, even this all over the place vlog because it's realistic. I feel like you're a friend I always want to keep up with and if I knew you in person I'd just want to hug you and say how well you're doing. I love you and your little family (sounds weird but I don't mean it too😂🙈). Keep well and I wish you everything of the best❤️🤗

[@melheartsmusic1]

“Is your mama a llama?” Made me laugh! You guys seem like amazing parents! Keep it up ❤️

[@Biancaxhenderson]

My fav book! thank you!!

[@maceylynn6344]

Thanks for sharing how how you increased your milk supple!! I’m struggling with this rn so I hope these things work

[@greyley3980]

Don’t let the haters get to you. You do you!!!

[@MakeupByDiana529]

Hey mama.. new mom here as well.. I would suggest getting your thyroid checked out and making sure your vitamins and levels are all in tact 💕

[@KarissaNichole]

sutton is getting so so big! how are our babies growing so fast 😢

[@Biancaxhenderson]

It makes me so sad ):

[@Hoopla29856]

I’ve really loved your videos since you had sweet Sutton

[@dianaestrada9721]

I’m so sorry people can be ugly. I am a #1 supporter of mental health breaks. We all need them. This journey called life can be very difficult to navigate at times. Take it one day at a time 💕 you’re true supporters understand

[@familiaacosta2739]

You are doing everything good girl you don't need to explain yourself to those people who just talk negative because they aren't happy with there life and want to make your like the same ,I'm also a first time mom and i feal yah

[@26dreamstar]

Had no idea you were getting hate comments, so sorry about them! I love watching your vlogs cause I have a baby boy about 3 weeks younger than Sutton so I feel like you're very relatable, keep up the awesome vlogs and hang in there!!

[@coffeeandplan4388]

Is Sutton taking 8oz of breast milk per feed?! I was so shocked when you gave her that whole bottle lol. So happy you were able to increase your supply, body armor lytes are so helpful for me as well! I’m too lazy to make the lactation bites but I love to have the munchkin ones you recommended before! And just want to say you aren’t alone in how you’re feeling and I’m sorry that people are commenting negative things. I love your channel and as a new mom as well, I find you so relatable!

[@Biancaxhenderson]

She takes around 6 to 7! We didn’t give her the full bottle

[@djblankita6885]

Hey girl we always gonna have haters and people always gotta say something you do you i enjoy watching your videos and you do you girl your a new mom and take the time you need

[@swiftie0984]

My sister had really bad postpartum depression, and she’s fine now! Just had her second baby, if it happens you’ll be ok 🥰

[@leanneeggenberger9127]

Just started watching..but I can't even imagine the level of exhaustion. I don't have a baby and I'm exhausted as it is! lol! I think things compound over time...lack of sleep, stress, etc. I hope both you and Collin feel better soon. Also - when people say negative things..that's their OWN problem. They can get over it and work on their own issues. :) xoxo

[@amylynn4894]

awe I wish they had cute stuff like this when my kids were babies lol. I have four kids, two dogs and a cat, people still say crap about my decisions, money, capabilities etc. Just ignore them. you are doing great, take the time when you need it. it's important you are enjoying this time in your life, making memories with your family and getting rest. Most of us appreciate the videos/what you share but it's no obligation. xoxo

[@ninaampenn]

I’m sorry people have been so negative 🤬. You are doing great ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@itsxbrittx3]

Absolutely LOVE keeping up with you guys! Your content gets me through most work days and always makes my week. Do what’s best for you and ignore the haters 🤍

[@DallasShepherd]

Extra love sent. Our babies have the same bday. But this is my third…I like to say we are surviving, not thriving when it gets tough. And that is ok.

[@SavingUpWithSarah]

Anyone looking for milk supply help (i am also breast feeding) I totally agree with everything Bianca suggested. For breakfast I have oatmeal with -a scoop of chocolate orgain protein powder, a teaspoon of ground flax seeds, a big spoonful of peanutbutter and Greek yogurt, and a splash of almond milk and I really feel it helps my milk supply and keeps me full too (also a pretty good amount of protein with everything combined). I also love the lyte body armour 😁

[@sarahmidoun6296]

I always watch your vlogs with my baby (he’s almost 4 months now), and every time Sutton comes on the screen I say, “August, that’s your girlfriend.” 😂 obviously joking, but I just think she’s so beautiful and adorable. ❤️

[@Jessica-xi8dy]

I have a 4 month old named August! 😍August James 🥰

[@Biancaxhenderson]

So sweet 🥹

[@jamieashton7285]

So cool 😊

[@schaeannsalmon]

Sutton is looking more and more like you B . 😍😍😍😍

[@noellelouisefresneda]

Have you read moms on call or precious little sleep for help with Sutton’s sleep? I have a 3 month old and those have been helping us!

[@Biancaxhenderson]

I haven’t! I’ll look into it!

[@Sakura71390]

Sounds like post partum depression, I had it and im taking medication and I finally feel like myself again

[@dianaestrada9721]

I need those shoes!! Please tell me!! 😅

[@Biancaxhenderson]

Just linked!

[@jackiegannon9179]

Enjoyed !!!!!

[@katelyn4897]

Sorry about the mean comments! BUT I love watching you guys! sweet Sutton is about a month ahead of my baby girl so you give me a little warning of what may happen soon for my baby girl! lol

[@sabsoritaXo3]

I am so sorry people are being rude in the comments! You guys are great parents a don’t listen to the haters!

[@dianaestrada9721]

Sleep is so important and that is hard for you guys due to baby girls sleeping adjustments. You are both mentally exhausted. Sending you Positive vibes 🫶🏼

[@j_ace0515]

I’ve been meaning to ask, any reason why you don’t use a pacifier clip? I noticed it pops out a lot and you always have to wipe or rinse it. Just curious lol but love the videos :)

[@anamarixacruz8680]

Blessings!!

[@cherryontop8177]

Ppd didn't hit me hard until 8months. Hang in there momma my 2 year old still doesn't sleep thru the night

[@shanaalisab2691]

Still at the beginning of the video,but you literally didn’t take a break from the time you got pregnant to even having her. I was wondering where your vlogs were but definitely rather have you healthy in a positive state of mind than to be working working working 🫶🏽 take that rest for you and your family girl!

[@jennyfertorcuato8803]

You are not alone, literally the day my baby turned 4 months she started to wake up 5+ times at night my husband worked two jobs and I was the only one waking up while also working a part time job I was exhausted when he tried to help she would scream and cry until it was me holding her. It lasted up until she was 8 months because I decided to do sleep training. It was affecting me mentally and my relationship with my husband, sleep training was the best decision for us and I’m not saying you should do it because that’s something very personal but I’ve heard on other vlogs you talking about the taking cara babies course and we love it. Literally saved my mental health and my relationship with my husband. Just know you’re doing great and you’re an amazing mom🤍

[@julietgendron]

My baby is only 11 wks but if I pump I only get 3-4 oz and he doesn’t even take the whole bottle a lot of times. I didn’t realize a breastfed baby would take 8 oz omg I am not gonna be able to keep up when my baby gets older 😬

[@Samira-kj6et]

Don't freaking out, you will be just fine and you make it through. I had same issues and worries when I gave birth 5 month ago and I still breastfeeding and totally fine just don't worry and excessively breastfeeding I used put my baby on breast every 40 minutes when she was litle. Every time she cry I pic her up and put on breast and now she goes 4 hours max without feed and is fine. Eat alot , drink water and do not let other mom on KZbin scary you. You are doing fine don't stress .

[@aliedgell3176]

Where is your initial necklace from? 🙂

[@Biancaxhenderson]

Miranda Frye!

[@stephaniewilliams0]

That “perfect lifestyle” is fake. I think people forget that! I think you’re doing wonderful, and postpartum is super hard. I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to let them get to you. Happy people don’t bring others down. That’s just facts!

[@arianebreault1724]

I apologize if the comment I made in the last vlog about your place being cluttered was mean, like mentioned to others who came at me this was not meant to be mean it was just my thoughts! My bad!

[@alexandrakritzman938]

She could be at the end of the four month sleep regression

[@maurawill51]

Who left Bianca mean comments!!!! I just wanna talk… 🤔😤

[@chibikat_]

I need to watch the whole video but why did the intro make me cry? Lol in a good way like it was so good I loved it. 🥹

[@almaalaska591]

I don’t agree with everything you do. But not everyone will that’s life. I will say your videos help calm my anxiety and that’s why I stick around. It’s like a mental health moment for me in this crazy crazy life. And I like your life isn’t perfect, it’s relatable! Never not be you, take care of you.

[@almaalaska591]

Ohhhh can I request you do a “how to make Colin’s pasta” 🤤🤤🤤

[@Biancaxhenderson]

Yes!! I’ll tell him lol
