Day in the Life with a Newborn (4 Kids 6 & Under)

[@OMGARIANE]

You may not see this, but I want to encourage you by writing it any way, because you are such an encouragement to me. I grew up in a non-christian home, and became a christian as a young adult. I now have three beautiful children, and am trying to raise them in a Godly manner, but have had no example set for me. Watching your videos, and the way that you approach your day with a joyful heart and a spirit of gratitude, has been such as enormous blessing in my walk in motherhood. My three are a little younger than your eldest three so it really feels like God has given me your videos as a beautiful example of a Godly wife and mother who desires to serve her family above herself and chooses to push against the tide of mothers on social media who just complain about their load and talk badly about their kids. Very thankful for you and your channel

Oh wow, I 100% feel you, I am so glad to read this comment and feel less alone ! 🙌

Every mother needs a parent like Zac. It’s amazing that he just knows what you need and just does it straight away. I know it’s what he should be doing and I’m fortunate that my husband is the same but unfortunately not every parent gets that and it’s wonderful to see him being such a fantastic father along with your amazing ability as a mother

[@shueysmissus]

It's OK to not always feel positive and grateful. It's ok to sometimes feel tired, overwhelmed or sad. Go easy on yourself mumma, you're doing a great job xx

It’s not okay to wallow in it though! You gotta snap out of it. She has a great coping mechanism that is Christ centered.

@@abigailsullivan3078 I never told her to wallow! But you must allow yourself to feel any emotions and then figure out how to deal with them. Nobody ever felt better by pushing feelings under the carpet x

I really don’t understand how you manage to keep 4 little kids including a newborn happy and entertained, while cleaning the house, changing the sheets, cooking homemade food, homeschooling and even working (filming AND editing), and all of this being sleep deprived but full of joy ! you must be a super hero somehow. I really can’t imagine doing all of that in one day, especially while keeping my smile, and I only have two children 😮

[@emergingwisdomcare]

seriously, its good to keep in mind that this is extremely difficult and exhausting behaviour.....i do wish Delilah had more help when I watch videos like this so she could just relax with the baby

[@the_handler_96]

I think she's just one of than women that really loves children. She enjoyes the company of her little ones, and making them happy makes her happy. There's rare but these women exist. I'm not one of them unfortunately, even though I have children. Some women are just made to be mothers and it's wonderful. Last time I was at this channel when she had 2 babies. And she kept telling how much she loves them and enjoys them.

[@TinaMartinez97]

Right? I so find myself feeling bad that I am not like that. I am easily overwhelmed with a small apartment and one toddler. I work part time but have lots of help from my hubby. Still I have a lot of days where my mental health breaks me…

I remember those hard days so well. Looking back there was something so cozy about waking up in the middle of the night to feed baby even when you feel so exhausted. You look beside you at your sleeping partner and resent them for not having to wake up too, but it’s so special because everything is quiet and dark and beautiful and you’re spending quality time with your tiny person and they’re going to love you more than life itself and forgive you for anything. Little people are so precious and how lucky are we to get to guide them through life for such a short time before they’re gone. ❤ you’re an amazing, real and authentic momma. You should be so proud.

[@sarahg1735]

Aw yes I remember those moments too. As hard as it was I loved those cozy quiet nights with my babies. I loved the quietness of the house while everyone else slept and sometimes I would go outside just to appreciate the stars. I have always been a bit of a night owl though. I also think I was a bit delirious maybe 😂 x

I find people claim that a certain routine works for all babies but honestly... its temperament. Some babies really need to eat more often, more cuddles and more help to sleep. Then some just kind of do it on their own!

[@carolszybowski7577]

As a Mom of 3 grown men (ages 34,35,36) and a Mom-Mom of 2 (ages 8 & 10) I love watching your journey through motherhood. I started watching right when Theo was born. I find you so sweet and honest. Showing the downs as well as the ups. So many women are so hard on themselves when everything isn't perfect. As someone whose on the other side, I'm here to cheer you on and remind you to give yourself grace, sleep, let the dishes sit, and nuzzle all those beautiful children. You'll never get that time back. I was so worried about every little thing when ours were littles that looking back, I should've made more memories instead of more laundry, more beds made, more dishes washed, etc... Now I spend every moment making these memories with my grandbabies. Blessings to you Delilah and your beautiful family you and Zach have made together. 😊❤

[@marynicolezen]

Hi Delilah! Just wanted to let you know that the haakaa's suction still extracts more milk than a let down would which can increase your milk supply. I used it with my first baby every time I fed and it increased my milk supply so bad that I ended up with oversupply which lead to painful breasts and clogged ducts. Also, my baby had lots of gas and bad reflux due to my milk coming out so fast. I know a lot say it just catches milk but it actually does hve a bit of suction to it. if you want to try one that's just a milk catcher, I use the haakaa's ladybug, you just sit it on your bra and it catches all your let down without having a suction (you also have the option to have suction if needed) Just thought I'd say this in case you didn't know already, because from the last vlog you mentioned the haakaa catching just your let down and that at the start you have a lot of supply - which it might be from using that haakaa every feed. Have a good day and sending your family my love ❤

[@k1y2l2e1]

Yes, I second this! My daughter had pretty bad reflux that I believed was a cow’s milk protein sensitivity until I realized I was creating a huge oversupply by pumping. The fast letdown and foremilk overload was too much on her tummy.

[@feebaby88]

I have the same and was told by my lactation consultant to lean back when nursing so it eases up the forceful let down.

[@mallorydouma1903]

Yes! I find everyone raves about the haaka but no one explains how to use it properly. I used it, but I actually had a really low supply, so the haaka was stealing milk from my son. So when I would switch him onto the side that just had the haaka, there wasn't enough milk for him. I have a lot of guilt about it 😢

[@maryrankin9869]

So glad you mentioned that. I am a LLL leader in training.@@k1y2l2e1

[@FFlores79]

Yes the ibclc s i know say it is a breast pump the haaka. It always hurt me to use it. I think with this 3 rd child I m just going to breastfeed and try not to stress out..try not to become hyper focused on pumping early. I work on call so I don't need a supply for weeks and weeks on end. I justbfind breast feeding groups to be kinda stressful in that way...look at my freezer stash..look at my milk fat ...and every baby on earth it seems now has a lip or tongue tie...exhausting.. I hope I don't make it extra difficult again and stress the whole time

[@corleakrugel6860]

I love that you are authentic and honest about your motherhood journey and that you do it in a way that is respectful to your children and takes their privacy into account. I've been following your journey for just over 2 years now and watching your family grow and interact with one another is a beautiful thing to witness. 🧡

[@aleshalipsky1684]

Baby number four was big switch up for our family too. It was something that I realized about week 3-4 and I needed to slow way down and just take one task or thing at a time. We were homeschooling also at that time and I realize we personally needed to do more of a slow start. I would add a few subjects in at a time. I needed to learn that special newborns needs and know that I needed to switch things. It was a little uncomfortable to be honest because it was our of my norm...but after about another two weeks I felt more confidence that I knew our newest baby and her needs from mama and family- I could then feel that I could navigate things better. Lots of nursing and reading out loud helped along with playing games or coloring held my bond with the other kiddos. LOTS of grace and peace to you and your journey, Do what feels right for your family. I pray over you and your family that God will provide clues as to what is needed during this sweet yet hard time.

[@ginapurcell1732]

Watching you carry around Anna Beth and still parent and teach the other three is inspiring. I'm awaiting my second and get nervous how I'll manage a newborn and 18 month old.

[@JessieAlmighty]

My son was 20 months when my daughter was born. It's tough, but you get into a groove. My son is now a little over 2 and my daughter is 5 months and it *does* get easier. I hope you have the help and support you need, Mama! Love and prayers. ❤

[@cynthiaperovich310]

Mine are 17 months apart. I also have a 12 yr old and an elderly father i care for in my home. I panicked the week before my girl was born wondering how on earth it was going to work. Chasing after her climbing running brother after a csection was rough. And he would try to climb all over her when i would feed her. He was just entering into the screaming whining cus he cant communicate well phase. Etc. But you soon find your groove and figure out what works and all of the great moments erase the overwhelming or chaotic ones. He loves her so much now and they are starting to interact and its so fun! You get really good at having a child in each arm while doing other tasks. Also...wraps and carriers! When my toddler is maybe feeling jealous or left out I just throw him on my back in a carrier. It will all be ok! :)

[@Moistymcvag]

And she’s working! Setting up cameras and filming, etc. This woman is an absolute machine 👏 💪

As someone who has 18 months apart with their two kids. It’s hard but so so magical! They’re nearly 3 and 17 months old now and it’s so lovely watching them bond and play together!

[@littlemissbekah9722]

Best advice I got with my second. It's ok if the first-born is not at all interested in the new baby at first. After all, babies just eat and sleep and poop. Not very fun if you're a toddler. They'll get closer and bond more when they're older.

[@donnacarols8823]

The feeling of not getting done enough… i’ve known it all too well for months now. I have 4 children too, but the youngest just turned 3 years old.

I’ve never commented before, but I have been watching your videos for a few years now- I was so excited when you announced you were pregnant as I had found out a few weeks prior that we were expecting our first. I loved walking through this pregnancy being in the same stages as you, it made me feel less alone. Our little girls actually share the same birthday, August 18th, but I haven’t been able to watch a video since then for the fear that you had everything going perfectly. I was scared I would watch you getting everything done while I’m still struggling just to keep our baby happy and get the laundry done before my husband gets home from work. Thank you for being so real, I was worried I was going to cry because I felt inferior but the opposite happened- I cried because I felt like, once again, I wasn’t alone.

[@nekoneko3838]

Mentioning things that you are thankful for is a great idea and I will be trying it myself as it's really easy to get lost in things that don't go as expected during the harder days. 🙏 When watching your video, one thing came to me from my early baby wearing days, I found a great hack for the little ones that don't hold their head just yet. Taking a burp cloth or something, rolling it up and putting it under the top part of the wrap from outside and pulling the wrap over just under their head to support their neck, kinda like a pillow roll that supports their head when needed

My son is now 9mo but he was also very gassy and very clingy for sleep and naps. I found cutting out things like eggs and garlic from my diet helped with his gassy problems.

Our chiropractor taught us when babies have acid reflux to sit them up supporting their chin and chest with one hand and rubbing their back with the other hand starting at the base of the spine and moving up toward the base of the head. Does that make sense? Maybe that would help. I also have 4 kids all with in 5 years of each other. You are doing great mama! ❤

I am so happy for you . I'm glad you had the help with the meals. Yes your blesses . About the milk that's so sad and wow that meal looked amazing .

Delilah, I know that you and your family and support are way more experienced that I am with only one little one but I will share anyway. Our son had silent reflux (it was the hardest part of having a little person). He had to sleep upright, would cry and wiggle a round in pain about a 1/2 hour after feeds and try to climb me. If Anna is having a hard time you could try some rest in the car seat or swing sitting upright and talk to the pediatrician. They can help reduce the burning element of the acid, even though the hiccups and discomfort won't stop but it will be so much better for baby and you. Good luck❤

Wow! The editing on dinner was so satisfying to watch. Good job!

I feel like the Holy Spirit connected us today to have like the same day spiritually! Not that I have a newborn or even 4 kids, just one son who's 2, but I felt you today on the hardship! Thank you for sharing Proverbs 17, really needed to be reminded of that verse today: good medicine of a cheerful heart! Makes such a difference in my family too! God bless 🙏

Hi Delilah! I've been following your channel for a while. Your videos are always so inspiring and soothing. I am a doula and wanted to bring up that Annie could be suffering from a mild allergy. Dairy and gluten are the big allergens I usually see in very fussy, more high needs newborns. My daughter (now 2) has a dairy allergy. I cut out dairy when she was 2 months old and started giving her water (Eastern medicine says to half the baby's body weight in ounces from birth! - though Western medicine differs) and she became such a happy, less fussy little gal. Praying for your continued transition!

Oh my goodness, such a lovely challenge from one mum to another. I love watching your vlogs x you're doing a great job momma!

Evivo probiotics are fantastic for tummy distress. I nursed for my whole existence during this stage so I feel you. My son was so fussy and never slept so we had to give him reflux medication. The dr said he had silent reflux which is when it’s just kind of stinging their throat but it’s not fully coming up. He was sleeping through the night by 10 weeks with the medicine (per my notes). Frida baby’s “windi” is also a strange and effective tool for gassy backed up babies. I caved and bought the Snoo at 7 weeks as well lol Good luck!!! Having a clinger is definitely not easy but you’ll get through this ❤

Gratitude does wonders… Since she is called Annie, you should sing to her "The sun will come out tomorrow" whenever you two are having a hard day 😊

I don't think William likes getting dressed. . .haha how sweet. You are getting so much done with a newborn and three more. I feel I stayed in bed most of the first two to three weeks after having my third baby (3 mos. pp). Really impressive. Always love seeing your kids helping you out in the kitchen. All three of mine were extremely attached to me and I had to/have to hold them all the time, but I will say, it has made us very close as they all grow! I think my second was the only one who was okay with being put down for a bit.

Hi!! Love your videos! I was wondering what’s the cute small rocking chair you put your new baby in? To keep her upright ish 🙆‍♀️💕
