FEEDING My Baby For The FIRST TIME!

[@ellieandjared]

It's finally time! I really did love feeding Tommy, and I can't wait to do it more! Here's the question... do you or your kids start acting different as soon as one parent leaves? 😂Is it when Mom or Dad leaves?

[@Crystal_doggy]

Ellie and Jared you make my day so thank you

[@amim5144]

Totally! My son acts like a nut when my husband is around. He cannot be around if it’s time for my son to wind down.

[@aubreyclaire9499]

Love you

[@debcarpenter8519]

Ellie and Jared I got to feed my Great niece when she was 2 weeks. Not ever having any kids of my own, it was very special. Something that will always be dear to my heart. Have a fabulous weekend Ellie + Jared. Can't wait to see what you have planned!!

[@caterracurry9630]

Tommy needs to step his game up, Jackson’s baby is already doing backflips! Lol ❤️

[@ellieandjared]

LOL!

[@caterracurry9630]

😱❤️

[@01kendra]

Adorable! When my daughter was a newborn she would get constipated once in a while. My grandmother showed me a natural way to help her. She told me to take baby oil and put it on your index and middle fingers and go down his back on his spine for about a minute, just straight down not up his back. And within an hour she would poop. Well I thought oh it was just coincidence. But I promise over the years when she would get this way I did that and it worked. I hope he feels a better. We love watching your videos 😊

[@susansanders9332]

Wowwzer!!! Jackson's baby is Awesome!!!!!!! I could sit and watch baby's all day. Weather they are smiling or crying. PS I totally love how protective Calvin is of Tommy. Even down to who gets to feed him. Nothing but the best for his little brother.. your family just is the cutest.

[@momoney2113]

PACE FEED!!! Is SO helpful for babies who both bottle feed and nurse!! KZbin a video.

[@noroga25]

The first video I saw of this channel was when they picked Jackson's stroller, when Ellie did the belly dance lol.. I found that video, then watched that Jackson was just born, since then there is not a vlog I have missed!! Love you guys! Love from Mexico!

[@juliasteininger7068]

I cannot tell you how from the bottom of my heart I am so glad for you that Tommy is such a good eater. Especially because you had such a hard time with Calvin. Hope you guys are just as happy as you seem :)

[@ellieandjared]

Thank you! = )

[@Louisefenner]

You guys should do a meet up with the Gardners. The quads would love your boys and I think you two would get on with Tyson and Ashley too.

[@rachelbenincasa7452]

hey ellie and jared you guys are such great parents i love the way you teach your kids and love them you guys are so adorable 💝 and tommy is SO CUTE i can't stand it 😇 have a great day!

[@rachelbenincasa7452]

omg you guys liked my comment i'm so happy literally i've been waiting for this my entire life 😂 i just turned 15 i've been watching since i was 11 and it's been so great watching you guys. i think i might be overreacting a bit 😅

[@mollyzucker2462]

Rachel Benincasa totally not! They liked my comment yesterday and I was like ahahhahahahaha

[@naomiage8727]

Ellie, I noticed Tommy’s nickname is Tom Tom and I love it!❤️ he is so cute, and looks like a mixture of both Jackson AND Calvin! Love you guys!!!

[@TDLife]

Awww that smile from Jared when he started sucking! What a sweet moment and you were able to capture it!

[@SnapesPrincess4]

OMGosh, what an awesome day for you, Jared!! I could tell you really loved feeding Tommy!! You looked like you were about to cry. 💚💜💛 I hope Tommy's tummy is feeling better. I love seeing Tommy and Lucy together. They are too darn cute!! They are both getting big. I remember when Tommy's blue sleeper was big on him. I ate whatever my parents made. If I didn't want that I could make a tv dinner, soup or cereal.

[@ameliahatfield9304]

Ellie: “I don’t know, I think they live in the rocks.” Jackson: “Um, bees don’t live in rocks, they live in honey boxes!” 😂😂😂 Like, duh, of course! I’m dying!

[@annabrandi5461]

LOL Ellie and Jared’s faces when Jackson asked who Peter Pan was!😂

[@mariaattard3764]

Good Job Daddy Jared. It is nice and emotional when a dad also feed their baby. You dads are also important for us kids. God Bless you. My mum would let us eat what she prepared most of the time.

[@ramatoulayekamara587]

That is so so cute Daddy, feeding little Tommy and loving your family

[@julietteps6628]

I love your kids, Jackson says such adorable things. And you are both great parents... and great cooks! That dinner seemed delicious!

[@nicolettamcvety6515]

Awww loves when Jared fed tommy so precious!!! I’ve done both had my son eat what I make and eat as well as eat something different, but luckily for the most part he enjoys what I make and eat.

[@ellieelizabeth4963]

I love this vlog. I watch you guys everyday, and you are such an inspiration. Jackson, Calvin & Tommy ARE SO CUTE! I've been watching you since you lived in your old house... and I will keep watching you!!!

[@hannahlim2259]

Such a sweet moment! I love how you guys love each other so much 💕

[@TiffBudgets]

For the most part, we feed our kids the same meals as us. Also, I love how encouraging your and you sisters are with each other! You always bring each other up in some way shape or form! I love you guys!

[@lottiefaith6935]

Julie's hair turned out so cute and I love your hair, Ellie, you look like a cute pixie. I love seeing the babies together, it's neat that they will have so many cousins around to grow up with. God bless. PS Jared did a great job with Tommy, it's such a bonding time during feeding.

[@kmy1174]

Watching your loving family grow is such a wonderful thing n I love being part of it. Thank you so much. :)

[@LisaHultin]

19 weeks and 3 days into my first pregnancy I finally felt the little one move around for sure yesterday, so exciting! I've been following you guys' channel for years, and I'm so excited for my husband and I to start our own family journey. All the best to you, warm greetings from Sweden.

[@minlim100]

Lovely lovely lovely yes ellie and jared kind of teaching me about love how to give their kids..... i really enjoyed watching this lovely family! And also i can learn english from watching them. :) it’s very lucky and happy. From South Korea.

[@taleighadavis3342]

Don’t forget to pace feed!! That will help your nursing journey so he doesn’t get a bottle preference ❣️

[@farheenmahmood9704]

The first video i saw was when jackson was born... Time flies literally and you guys are growing... Much love... You guys are amazing... From Pakistan...

[@Alyssaajaadee]

I just wanted to say, and I don’t mean it in any mean way at all! But I think the reason tommy downed that bottle so fast (besides him being a hungry lil man) is because you were not pace feeding. Bottle feeding and breast feeding are so different and he’s used to working for his milk from ellie.. it kind of just pours out of the bottle super fast and if the bottle is titled up like that they just drink it too fast for their little tummies.. so that’s also why he probably got gas and spit up. Just wanted to throw that out there so you can maybe look up pace feeding if you decide to bottle feed again :) love you guys so much!! Your little tommy is a good eater that’s for sure

[@alexadorexa]

Raisinglittles thank you fornthat that’s been helpful for me!

[@donnaconrad6212]

Also, the bouncing right after they feed him. He doesn't even get a chance to have the milk settle in his stomach and it comes up like a fountain on Jared! I think he was almost preemie size when he was born he certainly is a small baby, and his tummy is sensitive. He should be drinking water, too, so he doesn't get constipated. Curious as to why he is always held on the left side for feeding - could be why he doesn't turn his head or eyes to look opposite direction.

[@megan807]

You don't need to feed a baby that age water, ever. That is a complete misconception. I am a nurse who works with babies. And for constipation, usually a rectal temperature will do the trick.

[@jgvanv812]

Donna Conrad babies shouldn't get water ever before 6 months and the very little till a year. They get all the water they need from breast milk or formula. Ido how it is for formula fed babies after 6 months cuz I only nursed my baby but he didn't have anything but breast milk till 6 months.

[@jaclynmenna]

Raisinglittles such a good point! I was going to bring up the same thing.

[@danischannel6276]

Your channel is so calming to watch. There's so much positive energy, you guys are amazing parents, you have amazing kiddo's. Watching your guy's video's is so inspiring and uplifting. I love you guys! Have an awesome day!

[@amberjellison5509]

Jared, it’s soooooo cute to see you so excited about feeding Tommy!

[@newenglandcoast-b4p]

Jared you are are so stinking funny, you had me crying laughing!! Tommy and Lucy together is the cutest thing! Your family is the sweetest thing!

[@Lena-zp9rx]

Hi Ellie and Jared! You guys are a great family keep up the good work!! Congratulations on Tommy Joel!

[@ciaraodriscoll3885]

My mum made us separate food when we were Calvin’s age only if their meal was spicy, but once we were older its the same meal for everyone and it’ taught all three of us to eat really well in my opinion.

[@margaretshannon7330]

Good Job Dad!! This is a mile marker in parenting! Love the Mecham Family❤️❤️

[@katydrake5701]

I have been watching you since Jackson was born! Your journey has been such an amazing thing to watch! Tommy is adorable and Jackson and Calvin are the cutest most caring little boys I have ever seen! I love your channel and cannot wait to see where the lord leads you family! God bless y'all!!

[@chelseawilber4865]

[@noroga25]

Chelsea Mae they said she was in training, for a while since they were traveling alot

[@chelseawilber4865]

Nohemí Roldán García ohhh i didnt catch that ;) thank you!

[@careip]

[@valerietellezyt]

[@stevebatres1571]

[@lynnhaque1472]

[@allisongonzales6053]

Aww love Tommy! He is so cute!! Julie your hair is gorgeous

[@charlienorris12502]

Happy Friday! I can’t believe that you feed Tommy for the first time! You're such an awesome dad ever, Jared 😊! I loved watching your family so much and you guys are the nicest people. Hope you have an awesome weekend with Jackson, Calvin and Tommy, Ellie & Jared 😁!

[@dray2cool]

Our daughter will be 2 soon. We for the most part feed her what were eating. If it’s something new I try to pair it with something familiar. So if it’s her for time having grilled chicken (for example) I’ll give that with rice I know she likes. And some kind of fruit. So it’s not a separate meal, it’s just modified so I know she’ll eat good still. I think that’s why she does like so many foods, doing it that way I feel like she’s more willing to try new things. I will admit sometimes my husband have a late dinner and we’ll give her something quick for dinner then we’ll eat after she’s in bed.

[@love_pets1366]

Love the vlogs! You make having 3 kids so easy ;)

[@2cool4scull75]

Omg I'm in love and also baby Lucy looks just like Emma from Deru Crew vlogs and Tommy looks just like Jackson

[@MusicLeanne]

Tommy has been here already for a month and a half. It all feels so natural, like he has been here forever :)

[@sukhmindersingh2124]

I love you guys so much!!!! You guys make my day so much brighter!!!! ❤️🙂 keep doing what ur doing!!! Love you guys, you guys are such a amazing family!!!! Love from New York!!! Wish I could meet u guys!!!

[@jackiegarcia4304]

Hello 😀 Mecham Family ❤❤ Love watching the boy's playing so much fun...🤗😄

[@sharonhenry343]

Ellie if Tommy can’t wear Jared’s baby jumper now you can always have his picture taken in it when it will fit him to have as a keepsake. I actually did that with my daughter with a dress that I had as a baby and wore home from the hospital. Tommy’s bib is SO CUTE!! Hope you guys have a blessed weekend! 😘

[@shekeyra100]

he loves it and seeing the daddy baby first feed moment was beautiful

[@CalledtoCultivate]

The como tomo are the ones my son uses too! They’re great and super easy to clean too. 😁🎉

[@isabelramirez381]

It was so precious to see Jared feeding Tommy Joel for the first time. And with all do respect Jared looked very handsome to me feeding TJ.

[@thatvolleyballplayer8467]

The first video I watched was when Ellie was taking the pregnancy test in Walmart with Bonnie.

[@rebeccab9279]

I like Potatoes same!!

[@sarahb3671]

[@ariellaturian3495]

[@HydeandSeekFamily]

Good job Tommy! You are all so cute. You are giving me baby fever but we already have 9. ;)

[@deeraines9416]

Hyde and Seek dont get me wrong but you are living my dream. I love the one son that i was finally able to meet (6 wks early). He is my miracle baby. Form as far back as i can remember to the age of 14 (when i was told i would never be able to get pregnant, let alone carry a baby to turm) my biggest dreams were to be a wife and then a mom to 9 kids. Grats on your blessing. I am sure you know and love that every day, multiple times a day you are living new adventures. 💜💜💜

[@atllittlefield8450]

Your family is just adorable. God bless you all

[@NikholaRichter]

I ask my son what he would like to eat, cos honestly we rarely ever can make up our minds on what we want to eat. So yes, my 4yr old picks out our dinner sometimes lol but he has good taste! Sometimes he wants sushi, other times he wants a sandwich with fruits, last night he wanted a burger, and i was so tired, and had such a difficult day, that we just went and got Wendy’s hehe

[@caterinamorantifoto]

Calvin is my favorite little one EVER! I love him!

[@sandyluna2501]

Hey ellie and jared you guys should try the little remedies gas drops. That should relieve his tummy issues. Within minutes it helps.

[@mollyzucker2462]

“ thank you very little” haha I laughed out loud

[@petoetjuh]

Molly Zucker I say that all the time and people always look at me funny. So when Jared said it I was like "A Ha! I'm not the only weirdo!" haha

[@mollyzucker2462]

Charlene Hall oh hahah never a weirdo it’s so great to be relatable

[@jamietucker6700]

good video, that was alot of fun to watch it's nice to see Calvin and Jackson adapt well to Baby Tommy, so cute ever since he was born :D

[@dukeblockington1179]

For lunch I do separate but for dinner we cook one meal. Good luck with the bottle. Have fun with the girls. Girl time is great when you just had a baby.

[@JulieAVG1]

I know people on insta have already told you about the Hakka, I think that’s how you spell it. It’s wonderful and so easy!!!

[@oliviahoward4288]

Tommy is so cute I love your little family have a good weekend❤️

[@khemaaramrattan3772]

Thanx guys

[@jd4evapodcast86]

I have been blessed to have a son that eats everything. But the kicker is he will not eat cooked veggies he eats them raw! So when I do stir fry’s I have to put a handful of each veggie off to the side with his white rice. But I absolutely am SO blessed! He was no joke so easy I’m scared to have another because my son set the bar way high for the next baby!! 😂😂🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@JakeRocksTouchdown]

I have three teenage/adult kids. I never made separate food. They ate what we had. Helps them get used to eating a variety.
