The content we live for! From one toddler mama to another, you’re doing great 🥰 tell Arrow hi from Brittany and Harley in Texas!

[@choosnau]

My kiddo is 18 months and without fail, every update video you've made has almost perfectly aligned with what we do 😊

[@meaghandolomont5343]

You’re GLOWING Brittany! Love this content! My youngest is 14 months and my oldest is 6. It’s been so long since I’ve had a toddler, I forgot how busy life gets! thanks for helping me feel less alone these days lol. 💗

[@melanied6454]

We have the same sleep/meals schedule (give or take 15 minutes), we transitioned to 1 nap when he was 12mo, now 15mo. Also, we moved apartments (he got his own room for the first time, he'd been sleeping in a crib in our bedroom), got a montessori floor bed and he didn't have any problem with any of it, for which I'm super grateful of! Glad it went smoothly for you too! ❤

[@hannahwollenzin7172]

I love these types of videos that you do! Such great info. I'm 36 weeks pregnant right now with my first and am watching everything I can to prepare

[@JezzailVlogs]

Omg we do screen time after bath time too!! I always thought that’ll keep her up but we also give her a bottle while watching too and we just cuddle🥰 no judgement here! 👍🏽

[@brittanybalyn]

[@alikutsar4339]

I do the same! Screen time actually calms mine down and gets her sleepy

[@sarabakun8206]

P Mom

[@rachaeltrujillo9960]

Same! It’s her peppa pig time! I love it. We snuggle and wind down. It works for us 💗

[@themondragonfam4473]

You really inspired me to start filming my journey as a young single mom to be !! honestly love your way of thinking and tips definitely

[@kaylabuasod]

I love that crib! Mine also transitions to a toddler bed but it's just one side that comes entirely off, and I will have to buy a barrier separately if I don't want him to fall off. I appreciate you talking about this! It seems like arrow is always one month ahead of my son in terms of transitions, so I feel like I always can prepare myself through your experience.

[@alyssarh]

That lipstick is so gorgeous on you!! Omg. Just started the video but I'm so excited to watch, you always are so real, funny and sweet ❤

[@galitwernick2161]

Was just looking for my nightly video choice to watch while doing dishes and was pumped to see this 😁

[@brittanybalyn]

Yay!! ❤️

[@anastasiakholod2222]

Sleep schedule is always changing with growing child. So be mentally prepared to it. Sleep regression around 3 years is no joke. I am here right now and I did not have these problems with sleep with my daughter when she was just newborn.

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Loved this video! I don’t have a instagram so I won’t be able to see your toddler favorites but thanks for sharing!💜🙏

[@madeyoufeel4216]

As far as food planning, have them eat what you eat or a version of it. This is a way to teach health for your child and yourself too!

[@sarahhowe421]

I always love your linked suggestions for things you use. I don’t have social media. Is there any way you could post things in the description box like you normally do?

[@gejx_7779]

as always, I dont have kids yet but I loveeee watching your videos just to take in all the info you share! you look absolutely GORGEOUS!! Love you Brittany! (lots of ! lmao)

I try to clean with a 19 month old and 4 month old. It's a never ending job. My 19 month old loves to sweep and mop when I vacuum

[@shiawmeiling1998]

YOU LOOK SO PRETTY!!!!!

[@LizzieEstelle]

I just got on a good schedule 🤞 hoping it sticks around for a while 😆

[@angieshamngie7]

These videos are so fun because I do so many similar things as you with my 19 month old! Just fun to see oh ok we on the same page, we kinda know what we’re doing 😂 great job mama. No judgement here for screen time! 😉

[@dawnforlife]

Same! 😄

[@TrueDeathless]

I’m alll about schedules and routines 😂😂 if she ever sleeps less or wakes up sooner consistently you can always try extending her wake window in the morning or shorten her nap! Our 19 mo wakes up at 7/730 nap at 12-2:30 then bed by 7:30! We have been on wake windows since she was 4 mo 😂

[@aprilb4831]

I've been with you on your momma journey with my lo (16m)💕 love your videos all the way from the UK 🇬🇧

[@melissagreen9508]

Love your video 💗 question : do you give an alternative meal if your daughter hardly touches anything on her plate?

[@frauimwald8858]

Love your videos, as always Brittany!♥️ You look gorgeous😍 sound seemed a bit off, was a bit hard to watch on a higher volume🙈

[@xowhlindaa]

Love your videos! They are so inspiring 😊 can I also ask where did you get the toy storage and book shelf organizer?

[@aliciahicks8020]

Probably ikea

[@christengardner1466]

Omg im living for the red on you it’s gorgeous

[@victoriaheppell2643]

Would you consider making a video of the things you like to do to keep your mood/mind happy. Like a more Mom centred video about different habits you’ve claimed since becoming a Mom that have helped you feel strong and healthy: hobbies, cooking, person interest/educational activities, activities/workouts. Things you’ve been able to do even with kids. Vlog style or vlog inserts 👌 would love to know your recommendations.

[@tatianaguerralezcano5928]

Red is your color!!! It is complementing so well with your skin and eye color. Just gorgeous!!!

[@brittanybalyn]

❤️❤️❤️

[@jamie7002]

Love your info! My son is 23 months now and we transitioned from co-sleeping to his own little bed on the floor at 18 months. He was ready and loved that he got his own little space. We never used the crib and he slept in it only for naps usually because he just couldn’t stand it. I thought it was going to be so hard to transition him but we haven’t had any issues. He took to it right away because we hyped up his “big boy” bed. It’s literally just some nice twin size foam on the floor so he can’t fall off and I don’t stress when he wants to jump on his bed! It’s a good, cheap and versatile solution if you aren’t sure what type of bed your kid will like or if you aren’t sure they are going to love it right away!

[@dawnforlife]

This is so good to know Jamie! My girl is 17 months and we are still co-sleeping. We do it on the floor. Did you transition your son to another room too? If you don't me asking, are you still breastfeeding? Just wondering how it goes in the night when you have to wake and feed him in another bed.

[@jamie7002]

@@dawnforlife hey! Yeah we aren’t breastfeeding and he sort of stopped waking for a bottle around 17 months or so. We kept him in the same room as us when we transitioned so that we could monitor how it was going easier (we don’t use baby monitors). The only issue he has had is that he is a thrasher so his blankets get tossed off him and sometimes he wakes up cuz he’s cold 😂. But after we tuck him in again he’s good. One thing I would suggest is before you transition to her own mattress try giving her her own blanket and pillow in your bed for a few nights if you don’t already. Then she has her new special items and doesn’t have baby swaddles etc anymore and it might be easier? My son hated swaddles so he had his own blankets since he was really little and it was safe to do so and I think it made stuff easier for him with the bed!

[@heatherkroll2828]

This video came out at the right time for me lol I am going to be transitioning my 18 month old from a sleep sack to a blanket soon.

[@brittanybalyn]

You got this! ❤️

[@tayshavargas4547]

I am the same way. I have two kids and the only way I can survive is by having a structure routine! I go to the park with play dates and I have to run by 11:30 sh. Feel terrible always scheduling play dates until 11:30 many people I know can do all day at the park! However I have to do what works for me… My kids do way better when they are in a routine. I also receive judgment cause I do quite time for 1 hour for my 4 year old. But honestly mamma needs some time down, sometimes cook, clean or simply do nothing Anyways ! Definitely having a routine has helped my mental health and my acute anxiety.

[@annarocha3254]

Why do you get judgement for that?

[@kerrimoore8542]

Brittany, you look so beautiful! That red is the perfect shade on you! 😍

[@Santassleighjjffh]

Love this video can you do another video with different meal ideas I go through meal blocks with my toddler and need new fresh ideas please 🙏 mom to mom xoxoxo

[@brittanybalyn]

Yes!! I post a lot of my meals for her on my stories ❤️

[@drleneplant]

Where is the toy furniture from? Love it!

[@xxGoodAndBrokenxx]

Funny you mention the screen time before bed! The last couple of days my son has watched videos before bed and has slept like a dream at night 🤣🤣

[@brittanybalyn]

Hahaha it’s my favorite time to cuddle up!

[@amandapetch7347]

No judgement here. I was told by one of my doctors once “you do what you need to to survive” lol. That has helped me when I do things with my son that people like to judge. I also love pouches. My son hates veggies and I try so that’s how I get his veggies in.

[@jamie7002]

Smoothies and pouches all the way for sneaky nutrition!!! I’m with ya!

[@irissanto2223]

Same boat.. My son hates veggies so I'm going to try doing pouches more to get that extra nutrition😊

[@steph9561]

So funny that for the longest time our babies were so far apart in age but now my daughter is 13 months and I’m seeing so much commonality!

[@ejfromthea]

I love you so much comfort youtuber and I don’t even have kids! you look soooooo bomb mama

anyone else keep getting distracted by her perfect hair/ makeup/ how lip compliments outfit so well ah such a babe! 😁

[@dawnforlife]

Before baby, I loved cuddling with husband for a show in the evening. So, I guess it's the same with a toddler, if it doesn't affect her and is her way to wind down with you, why not?!😄

[@areynaprez]

I’d love to see what her fav toys are! I always struggle finding good toys for my daughter

[@brittanybalyn]

We usually do panda crate or Lovevery! :)

[@jennaalexis89]

My son is almost 5 and screen time has never affected my son. His sleep and attitude has always stayed the same. Sugar however 🙃🙃

[@moonfighter4872]

Saaaame. And we mainly do learning videos anyway.

[@JessGunder]

I would love to hear more about Arrow's speech, what you are doing to work with her/teach her to talk, etc. My daughter is about 1 month younger than Arrow and we have been struggling to get her to verbally communicate and I know at their age they "should" be saying more words than what my daughter is able to speak at the moment. Do you have any tips?

[@LozNZ88]

My son is 19 months and babbles non stop and can say over 25 words. Every baby is different and I'm sure your daughter will get there however some things I've done include; explaining everything he is doing, explaining everything I am doing, walking around with him and pointing out everything we see. Letting him close the door and open the door and literally say "you're closing the door and now you're opening the door". Putting words with current actions and repetition will allow your child to understand what certain things are 😊

[@nataashatorzsa]

She has a video on speech if you just look a few back.

[@JessGunder]

@@nataashatorzsa yeah I’ve seen it, I commented this 10 months ago before she posted that video lol

[@morganmcconnell1917]

Do you feel the toddler pillow is necessary?! I always thought it was a bit odd, but I'd love to hear pros/reasons for choosing one!

[@jamie7002]

I don’t think it’s necessary but it just helps with hyping up the transition and making it exciting rather than scary for them. For my son his own pillow and blanket is part of his night time routine, he grabs them and goes to bed with them and snuggles in and I think the novelty of those things is a good tool!

[@morganmcconnell1917]

@@jamie7002 thank you! My son is still in his crib with just a blanket, hence why I asked 🥰

My 13 month old would eat so good, all foods perfectly fine in a high chair. All of a sudden about a week ago now she screams and thrashes if I put her in the high chair. Tried putting just the chair to the table and she still doesnt want to eat. I feel like she is hardly eating and all her meals now happen standing up. Its so hard idk what happened😭

Since you’ve weaned, do you let Arrow have any milk?? If you do, what kind of milk (cows milk, coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, etc)?? You might have answered this in another video and I might have missed it, but was just wondering. I hope you end up seeing this!

[@brittanybalyn]

"Usually, I do know what she wants, and usually it's chocolate"....me too kid. lol

[@brittanybalyn]

😂❤️

[@lollsazz]

I think the times my baby have slept in her crib can be counted on one hand...she absolutwly HATED being in a crib. Because she was very mobile from the start, we first had her betqeen me and my husband, in our bed. Then, at 3 months, she fell out (due to my husband not building up enough duvets around one edge), and I sent him to Ikea to buy a 4 inch matress we could have on the floor. Now baby is 12 months. Will probably just transition her to the floor matress, just in another room
