DAY IN THE LIFE WITH A NEWBORN BABY 2020 UK, How Often to Feed a Newborn, How to Stimulate a Newborn

[@bonniebayliss8195]

It's so nice to see a new mum from the UK! I have found most vloggers are from America or Australia so I've been looking to find a new mum from the UK to relate to! I'm only in my first trimester, but you have made me feel so much more confident already ❤️

I used to loooove newborn videos like this. Used to watch them a lot being pregnant with my first. Must say my newborn was nothing like this. She screamer bloody murder the second she opened het eyes after sleeping for 3 months straight. It was absolutely terrifying. Now almost a year old and she doing so well. I hope I get to have such a lovely newborn like George one day.

[@emilymay4536]

I have been obsessively watching your videos today 🥰 I’m 18 weeks pregnant and have no experience with babies and OH MY GOD your content is a god send, I feel like this makes me feel so much more confident going into motherhood and equally excited too! You have a gorgeous family and home thank you for sharing 😍

[@yankeecandle9732]

I don't think I've ever seen a baby that cute in all my life. We're planning to get pregnant in the new year so I've subscribed and am leaning with every video!

[@92Eww]

Currently binge watching some of your older baby videos to try and mentally prepare myself for a newborn! 🙈

[@cherylwatt2250]

Aww how adorable is he?🥰 I’m almost 35 weeks and getting induced at 37. Can’t wait to snuggle my baby boy 💙

[@avamason8978]

Really enjoyed this video ! As a 2nd time mum still found everything so helpful hun. You are doing really well, you look amazing & George is absolutely gorgeous xx

[@HomeWithShan]

Awh thank you so so much 🥰🥰

[@rachaelc5468]

George is such a calm and content baby 🙂 great video!

[@HomeWithShan]

We’re so lucky aren’t we!! Xxx

[@rhix7779]

I started watching your baby videos a few months ago and recently realised we live in the same area and had our babies in the same hospital but I was a month later than you! It’s lovely now watching your videos and being able to relate to them so much 😊 x

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw how lovely! Hope everything went well for you! Xxx

[@emilyirvine1]

Hi from Australia! I have been watching your videos for quite a while now through my pregnancy and my son his now 9 weeks old. Sorry if I have missed it but could you please let me know where your tummy time cushion is from? Thanks for always keeping your videos so real xx

[@brookeevans2174]

You look amazing!!! You are such an amazing mother. 💞

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw wow you’re too kind!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@SophieAbrahams]

Love this video! The hair hack is really good isn’t it, I’ve added it into one of my videos. I can’t believe how calm George is especially when due for a bottle! I definitely need to make one of these videos before we are out of newborn phase to be able to look back on! 💕

[@HomeWithShan]

I honestly love the hair hack! After a day os so the courts calm down so much too!! We’ve deffo stuck gold with how calm George is!!! 🥰

[@sophiecroarkin1689]

You're such a great mum! We are expecting a little one and I was wondering if you would recommend the perfect prep machine? Xx

[@HomeWithShan]

I would honestly 100% recommend if you’re bottle feeding! Do your own research but we love it xxxx

[@BhaviByrne]

Aww he is just so gorgeous. You are smashing it! I remember 7 weeks was when I really felt like I got in to the swing of things. My baby loves those hey bear videos too! X

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw thank you so much!! They’re a life saver aren’t they!! Xxx

[@megancooper376]

Such a helpful video as a 34 week pregnant lady. Did you do any training with your dog walking with the pram? I have two dogs who I'm currently training to not pull on the lead! Gunna be fun and games when baby is here! X

[@abbymorganlives]

Hi Shan becareful placing your cot next to the window and radiator...May impact George's sleep! espically day naps if your blinds aren't completely black out! just a thought! xx

[@kellywatts4895]

It’s more about heat than sleeping can cause baby to over heat in summer due to window or over heat in winter or even being too cold in winter if radiator is switched off s.i.d.s guidelines our sons Moses basket is at the bottom of our bed because of this it’s a funny shaped room so where the bed is the space next to it is next to both radiator and window

[@leaghreeves4049]

Love the video. How many of the small bottle size did you have? And same with the larger bottle? Xx

[@Thats_So_Kay]

Omg the first lockdown my baby girl was a newborn like this and now she’s 8 months crawling around 😢😩 bringing back SO many special memories!!!! So cute ❤️❤️ hope you are doing okay xx

[@HomeWithShan]

Ahhhh love that! I love this time with him but also can’t wait to see him grow - sending you all love ♥️

[@kshaw2307]

I'm 20 weeks and hoping I can be this put together once little one is here!

[@HomeWithShan]

It’s taken 7 weeks but we’re getting there 🙈🙈 you’ll smash it!! Xxx

[@yasubn493]

You are a beautiful mom❤

[@madisonrose3368]

Wall stickers are great for adding colour or design to a room and easy to remove when you need to 😊xx

[@HomeWithShan]

Amazing idea! X

[@survivorrose5731]

I love watching all your videos your amazing always remember that

[@stillolivia2230]

If you don't mind me asking, how much weight did you put on pregnant and how did you loose it? You seem to be in such good shape for a newborn !! Xxx

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw thank you! I’m not sure how much weight I put on to be honest, I never really checked!! I was a size 8 before and now I’m a size 10/12, but slowly losing it - deffo no rush though haha! Just need my will power to stay away from convenience foods haha (easier said than done!) xxx

[@erinvandermerwe7110]

I loved this video! You are doing so well and George is perfect❤️ Sorry if this is a bit personal, have you had/did you have any negative responses being quite a young mum? I’m 21 and so is my partner, we have been ttc since June but we are both quite worried about possible negativity at being “young parents”. Again sorry if this is too personal xx

[@melwest6639]

He’s such a calm baby! Where’s the towel from, it looks so fluffy! :)

[@HomeWithShan]

Aldi! Xxx

[@cathslabbert6816]

Your videos are so so helpful, my baby is 10 days old and really struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I am breast-feeding but expressing and then bottle. How many oz did you give in the first 2 weeks?

[@HomeWithShan]

Started at 2 oz and just worked up (but it’s different for every baby and depends on their weight!) xxx

[@skye371]

Hey babe! Just wondering what size your little boy is wearing in the love to dream swaddle. Im stuck on which size to buy, im due next month. Newborn is 5Ib to 8Ib. And then obviously the size small is 8Ib onwards xx

[@kacey2627]

My baby never took to the formula recommendations so he's feeding on demand every two hours. You're lucky!

[@besalauresa6054]

I have the same problem.. 9 week baby feeds every 2hours.. 2/3 oz big baby but tiny tummy.. Feel like the whole day is spending feeding or worrying about him taking enough milk..

[@kacey2627]

@@besalauresa6054 just saw your comment! Mine was 16 lb at 9 weeks so I feel you. He's 16 weeks now almost 20 lb feeds every 3 hours during the day 4-5 oz and twice at night 7-8 oz. Can't wait to wean!

[@carlyreid2071]

My baby is 2 months old, wish I looked like you after a baby🥺

[@UnicornRoseDust]

I would really like to relate to you on the feeding area but i’m breastfeeding so I have to do it every 2-3 hours for my 10 week old. I WISH I could go every 4 hours. It would make everything easier.

[@katburton9773]

Aw ur an amazing mum I'm due in 5 weeks and 4 days any tips on how to know when to increase there amount of feed x

[@HomeWithShan]

If they’re draining the bottle at every feed (thats what I was told!) xxxx

[@katburton9773]

Thank u for the advice ❤️

[@harrietb9026]

His face at 24:31 🤣🤣🤣

[@chloex4537]

Loved the video, thank you! Would you please link the wonder weeks app? Also would you ever do a post partum recovery video? Im due my baby girl at the end of the month so loving all your videos! ♥️

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw yay I’m so glad! And just search the wonder weeks on App Store and it will come up I think! And what sort of thing ‘postpartum’ would you be interested in? The recovery side of things (what i used ect) is all in my hospital bag (what I actually used) video xxxxx

[@dianelangdon2214]

Such a great mommy🦋💙

[@lauramorgan7621]

Hi, would you recommend the swaddle you are using for George to sleep in from newborn? I’m due in 9 weeks and havnt got a clue whether to use one of these or a sleeping sack or a swaddle blanket 🙈 x

[@HomeWithShan]

Hey! I would 100% recommend it! Just check the weight chart on their website to know which size is best for your little one (George is now 11lbs (ish) and in size small) xxx

[@lauramorgan7621]

@@HomeWithShan Thankyou very much! I feel so clueless and there’s so many options out there! Really pleased I stumbled across your videos at 3am this morning you’ve helped a lot 😊 xxx

[@HomeWithShan]

@@lauramorgan7621 oh gosh honestly same here haha!! I’m glad this helped a little!! Xxxx

[@xbettyannex]

I’m 32 weeks pregnant. How have you found everything during the pandemic? Not the birth etc but being a first time mum. I’m worried we won’t be able to have visitors at the house like parents, grandparents etc! You seem really upbeat and I’m super worried about the social aspect of everything.

[@HomeWithShan]

It’s not been ideal for sure but my mum has visited a few times (before lockdown) and we have the beauty of modern technology for FaceTime etc so it could be a lot worse! Xxxxx

[@VickyMarie93]

What size teat do you use ? Xx

[@cattoll1]

Have you tried the Aldi formula ? Or do you recommend the cow and gate one ? :)

[@HomeWithShan]

We have yeah! It’s absolutely fined so it’s the cow and gate - we just can’t always get to an Aldi as it’s further away than Tesco for us! X

[@BethJC1993]

I'm currently 20 +3 weeks and I love this video, lockdown boredom has me so stressed about routines and where can I put the baby when I clean and blah blah and this made me feel so much more relaxed! Its so funny to watch aswell because i also live in military housing so we have the same kitchen 😆 Please can you link where you got his little sleeping bag from?? Xx

[@HomeWithShan]

Aw I’m so glad!! And it’s in the description box (swaddled) xxxx

Where are you from in the UK!! Xx

[@balance7350]

I'm pretty sure you've been told numerous times that you look like joss stone 🙂👍

[@kellywatts4895]

Shouldn’t have the cot next to the window or radiator may want to rethink room plan

[@RegenBogenBlick]

Why are you talking about your curls when it's about the baby? And why am I watching you do your make-up? Oh, god, please don't make me watch you put your washing away.... oh you are. Good video.

[@HomeWithShan]

No one is ‘making’ you watch anything love! Watch whatever you want and whatever makes you happy 😆

[@RegenBogenBlick]
