FIVE MINUTE MUMMY MAKE-UP VLOG| LOKKEDIN

The last couple days have been extremely hard for Karl and I ! With sleep being a distant memory and our son having wind finding time to do anything is a myth!!! let alone MAKE-UP watch the vlog let me know what you think and if you want more vlogs! love you all!

[@Cassieamelier]

a vlog for you guys as we battle with this thing called collic! but we shall overcome some of you are wondering did i say the name at the end ?????? stay lokkedin! i think Wednesday i reveal his name! lets try and get this video to 1000 likes to make sure that video definitely comes out!

[@nardiachristian1751]

Hey Lokkedln family, let me start with a congratulations 🎉💙 been watching u guys for a while now and u both the cutest and amazing first time parents👌☺ i have abit advice for u with the breastfeeding stay away from rich foods and drinks as that could bring on coil dilute any rich drinks with water if u can't stay away as ur sugar intake is still important.

[@Theplaycycle]

Hey guys, aww sorry to hear young one is suffering with collic my daughter had the same issues when she was young, if it brings any comfort they grow out of it eventually. I had to be careful what I was eating/ drinking as I was breasfeeding and loved gingerbeer at the time. We also found baby massage would help it involved tummy rubbing around the belly button and circling their legs. Make sure you wind him well after feeding aswell, try different positions and you will find one that works for him, mine was lying over the shoulder. Also sit the baby up and gently rock the baby back and forward twice and then round in a circle that really helped loosen the gas. I was crap at burping but the men tend to be good at it with their heavy hands. Hope it settles down soon much love

[@Cassieamelier]

Thanks so much definitely going to adjust my diet make sure im getting all the right things for bubba !

[@Cassieamelier]

Great tips thanks so much hes feeling a lot better today been trying everything!!! FINGERS CROSSED

[@mamaharrison2543]

#LokkedIn check your insta DM. I have given advice on what I used

[@spiltmilk343]

Newborn cry is so sweet when it’s not your own baby crying lol awwww bless him x

[@brownbeauty8945]

Heya Congratulations !!! I've been a midwife in London for 11 years and have a child myself the best advice you could ever hear Cass is to listen to God and trust your maternal instincts that he has given you. You will be overwhelmed with all the conflicting information.... so pray to your father, ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and rest in his peace. God bless you and Carl Xxx

[@sushakay]

I love watching you guys man you’re doing a great job! So inspirational! When babies get wind it’s the worst lol gripe water worked better than infa col for my babies, could also be the way you’re holding the bottle when he bottle feeds ? Make sure the whole teet of the bottle is filled with milk so no air gets so when you’re feeding him angle the bottle as high as you can (hope I’m making sense) but that was a game changer. Also the barely finding time to bath is common when they’re young lool everything is on fast forward but a trick that worked for me is putting a pice of clothing I’ve worn in the car seat and putting the baby in there next to the bath so you can still watch them but be washing at the same time , the clothing has your sent so the baby feels like your near and is calm (hopefully) . I hope these help! Congratulations! You’re doing a wonderful thing and baby Lokko is lucky to be part of such a beautiful family ❤️

[@Cassieamelier]

awww thank you for being lokkedin we honestly appreciate every single one of you sooo much ! that tip about car seat and clothing i think is going to be a life saver !!!!!

#LokkedIn Aww!! 😊🙌

[@shelargh]

GRIPE WATER Cass!!! Have twins and I have them gripe water every morning and night till they were about 1. Settled then right through. And also watch what you eat too. Can be a factor!! ❤️❤️

[@shazsmall424]

It will get easier I promise x it's all a journey and a rollercoaster one at that, but enjoy each day at this age it's the best time xx

[@sandralinabelle6397]

Lovely family ❤️ I enjoy watching your vlogs xx

[@deborahlpayton1775]

My favorite family. Awesome family. #1 fan.🙏💞

[@Cassieamelier]

yay love you!!!

[@2ndofthemonth488]

Cassy please please try GRIPE WATER they sell it in boots Hun. My eldest had colic and was unable to settle just like your lil one because the gas in his stomach was causing him so much discomfort. Gripe water was the only thing that relieved him just be persistent with it and look into baby massage techniques that can help relieve him of the gas too. It feels like forever when they are so upset but it will pass your such a great mama :) also watch what foods that can cause gas in him too. Nuff love to your family 💖xxx

[@Theplaycycle]

I think gripe water is 3 months+

[@2ndofthemonth488]

No it’s from 4weeks+ and perfectly safe to use in smaller doses a little bit before along with breastfeeding.

[@lynnpetion4692]

I like the sit downs from your wedding to your confirmation and now having a family shows how God blessed you guys and your marriage I’ve been an early subscriber and watched every video to the point where I watch them twice but I Think is my first comment

[@Cassieamelier]

awww well thank you for your first comment so glad your able to grow with us! if youve been with us from the beginning your basically family! 😘😘🤗🤗

[@whitneyalfah8208]

Love you cassssssss n Karl and we love the vlogs 😍😍😍😍😍

[@oliviabalogun]

hey guys, my baby had colic and honestly it was a nightmare! I would get so upset because she just wouldn't settle. what i was scared about was misdiagnosis and kept visiting the gp because colic is usually misdiagnosed for reflux. Infacol didnt work for her tbh it was such a waste of time. Try putting baby on his tummy (attended because he is still new new) massage his tummy and do the cycling motion with his legs. Also if you are exclusively breastfeeding try and watch what you eat because that could also contribute to gasses x

[@carladavis7712]

Awwwww I loved how his name was revealed!

[@LifeOnLahLahLand]

when you were talking about your son having colic and you missing the long hour sleeps, I couldn't stop laughing ( not because little one has colic because thats really uncomfortable for them) but I could just picture all the experienced parents saying " I told you so" I remember when my three kids were new borns. I always tell people the first 3 weeks of parenthood is bliss, its after that when baby starts adjusting and things like colic happen or craddle crap (when baby has dry scalp and its itchy for them). Its not easy but you're both doing soooo well. When my second born had colic I had to give him formula along with breastfeeding (I didn't want to but the crying was tooo much). I found that the formula helped to settle his tummy a bit and kept him peaceful for longer. You can continue to breastfeed but maybe try a bottle every now and then and see if that makes a difference. Just a suggestion, I know that formula is not for everyone and yes breast is best. Do whatever works for you. xx

[@Cassieamelier]

loooool all the experienced parents are defo looooool at us hahaha ive been combination feeding now just breast was soooo hard! thanks for all your advice we honestly appreciate it!🤗

[@AkuaEbony]

#LokkedIn Cass I have a daughter who is also 5 weeks old’ born on 30th June and I tried breastfeeding only n it never really worked but now I’m combination feeding

[@laylarhymes5959]

Enjoying your family vlogs girl

[@JasnethRichards]

Your words for young mums meant a lot Karl and Cass especially for single mums!!!! Signed teen mum now single mum off five. Xxx

[@Cassieamelier]

oh wow you are A SUPER MUM! with five blessings thats amazinggggggggg sending so much loveeeee to you!!

[@JasnethRichards]

Love to you both!!

[@NubianPrincessN]

I have a 12 month old and my daughter cried alot also we tried infacol didnt work for us... defo try tummy massage (look up the I love you massage for babies) that helps to relieve wind and yes as others have said laying on tummy is comforting for them my daughter DID NOT like being on her back.... eventually gripe water also saved our lives and helped alot and we gave it every evening using a syringe baby hated it and cried but soon followed by a big burp and sleep! Day after day we gave it less and less until She didn't need it anymore so they Do just grow out of it! Good luck and congrats! And good on you because after I had my baby I didn't wear make up or even feel remotely myself for a good while but you seem in very good spirits so well done U!! Xx

[@jessiebobrect5789]

love you lots man , such a blessed family

[@Cassieamelier]

we love you to thank you !!!

[@mrmrsloso3328]

My son had colic when he was newborn. It goes on it’s own & is not for that long. Max a few weeks. Just breastfeed as normal. & do massages. Lay him on your legs & do his legs in a cycle motion which will help with the pain & will poo/ pass wind more easily. & lay him on his front! As when your holding him/ laying him on your chest he feels close so when you put him down, lay him on his front as he’ll still think he’s laying on you. You’ll realise him laying on his front is a massive GAME CHANGER! & you think why didn’t I do it sooner

[@Cassieamelier]

Thanks so much will definitely now feeling like theres light at the end of the tunnel

[@NubianPrincessN]

Watched the rest of the video!!! When you're talking about it being hard I AM WITH YOU its alottttt! Like I never knew!! Not being able to wash or eat I was there its hard but u will get through it babes, both of you! Just take time you will get back to you in due course! Even now i dont feel 100 me i just know it takes time... focus on your baby and the rest will fall in to place! Keep up the good work tho!!!

[@Mabel.adjowa]

awooooo, i love babies so much and i hate it when they cry. and the #teamnosleep, #daddy'sdaycare, is pretty cool lol. and i love when you say MYSON (love it). it is okay for you to not bath honey, we totally get where you are coming from and we give you a big shad-out for that (clapping!!!!!)

[@rebeccamorgan6300]

I like this girl ..u have such an anointing on Ur life even Ur voice . I pray u don't lose that favour . What a pretty lovely decent girl

[@melly4346]

Congratulation to you both of the greatest blessing God can entrust you with 🙌🏿. My son was the best baby for the first 2 weeks than he got reflux and it changed everything, none stop crying some of the things that helped was not laying him down after feeds for at least 20 minutes I had to hold him over my shoulder, also I looked at what I ate on a regular basis and I cut it out and that helped (My son is 4 and he not to long ago had an allergy test and his actually allergic to it so that must have been causing some irritation) but what helped the most and I know it sound crazy, is I had to pump the watery part of the best milk out and then feed him and I know ppl say that's got all the good stuff but when I told my midwife she was like if it helps than do it. He cried way less and was sick less it really did change things. But by time he was like 7 month he had grown out of it all. I hope this can help in some way x (I know you never mentioned reflux however I thought it was colic at first so just in case it is reflux I thought I'd share this with you)

[@VeeDee2]

Try all natural Gripe Water. It works wonders for colic and gas! Also sit the baby up more maybe over your shoulders instead of holding him across your arms. And some parents are against this, but have you tried a pacifier. That will help. You guys are doing amazing! Keep up the good work and enjoy your little prince! This is just my little $0. 02 cents😍

[@Cassieamelier]

Thank you for the tips !!!! we tried a pacifier but he didnt really take to it 😫 but i will try again !

[@fayfromday7873]

Try putting him on his side to relieve gas, rest him on your arm, left side on your arm. Supporting his back agaisnt your body, head should be near your elbow crease x mint water, one leaf is ok x Love

[@Cassieamelier]

thank you will do!

[@kyec9423]

Loved this video as much as the last. My son is now 3 months and we're still struggling with colic!!! The best colic drops I've come across are detinox colic drops they really work and if you're bottle feeding as well then make them as warm as possible and put the drops in. Hope this helps and sees you guys get some sleep 😊 xx

[@Cassieamelier]

Thank you, you guys are helping me sooooo much! i appreciate you! was giving him room temperature bottles defo going to heat them!

[@kathleenevers7016]

Bath🙄? What Bath Cass😳😃. I have 7, yes I said 7, 2 yrs apart. so learn to take what I called “1,2,3,” showers 😂, when they were little. That’s the two armpits and below the belt 🤣. Cass babies will make you find out just how creative you really are. Baruch!😊

[@dominiquerose8112]

If babyboy has trapped wind, try laying him on his back, and move his legs around as if he's riding a bicycle and every so often push his legs up to his belly, with knees bent and also legs straight, it will help relieve the trapped wind. Hope I've made sense, worked and currently works wonders with my little one. Congratulations to you guys!!xx

[@Cassieamelier]

Defo makes sense thanks so much x

[@beverleymontanazbrown2278]

Hand babies are the hardest, Enoch was only like this after we got him circumcised and he got all his jabs. But after that he was good. Just used to put him on my back at night to sleep then bed put the pillow so it seemed like me. Then teething was the next stage.

[@larabeautysage]

Did you say "holding Lion in my hands at 19:21?" ...is the name Lion or am I reaching? 😃

[@paulamoreno6505]

I though I heard that too

[@cocobrown8698]

Thank youuu was looking for where she said it for ages

[@missalice206]

Cass look up how to relieve baby wind. My little one is 5 weeks now and I have to help him relieve his wind. You bend his legs up to his chest. I’m not going to explain in right but it really helps my baba. Hope it’s gets better I’m living that no sleep life also 😄

[@Cassieamelier]

ahhh no sleep life! i cant wait for it to be over il defo look it up thanks 😀

[@debbiephillips576]

Try rocking him on his tummy. Hold him lying on your inner arm so he is on his tummy with legs on either side. Any gas will come up and the motion will put him to sleep. Sorry for typos need to go spec savers lol.

[@bellefemme6677]

Oh lord u guys up at this time looking after bubba!!! Me too!! U aren't alone . #mamaandpapaduties u guys are doing great. I found first three months were the hardest. #handbaby .

[@Cassieamelier]

[@bonniemosweu]

Hi there,try using Grape water. Not sure if you have it that side. But in my country(Botswana )we got it. It helps alot.

[@Cassieamelier]

awww sending love to botswana is that like gripe water?

[@Khadija-xb4ts]

Love your channel. So blessed to have each other. Use a warm flannel on his lower belly, it’ll help sooth the colic. God bless x

[@Cassieamelier]

Thanks so much for the tip !!! will defo try it!!

[@lalavargo]

My little one was born last week...I have found that swaddling him after breastfeeding and then putting him in the snooze Pod really works for me at night.

[@myblacqisbeauty]

Try sitting him up more across your shoulder in an upright position, swaddle him, or give him a massage. Hope this helps! Ya'll are doing awesome! ❤

[@Cassieamelier]

defo helps thanks so much!!!🤗

[@hotcaramel1983]

[@CassCass1234]

Gripe water helps to relieve gas in babies

[@paulamoreno6505]

Massaging his belly with sweet almond oil that should help with the colics x

[@Cassieamelier]

Thank you il try that!

[@EverythingLuxe]

Wait Cassandra did you say his name at the end of the vlog? is his name Lion ??? lol

[@leahl8001]

[@Cassieamelier]

👀 find out on wednesday!

[@cbbaabbyyy]

wow, you are so great♥️

[@Cassieamelier]

Awwww thank you :)

[@Mrso29]

I hope you don't mind me asking - has he been diagnosed with colic? My son is 11 weeks old and he was the same; easy for the first 3 weeks and then really unsettled after that. I was told it was colic so I used infacol but it turns out it was silent reflux caused by oversupply/fast let down and the infacol just makes it worse. Gripe water helped a little bit but he's just had to go on medication for it xx

[@ayoolafarinde7187]

Give him a warm bath and massage him with raw Shea butter (warm the shea butter in your hands first )

[@Cassieamelier]

ooo defo going to try this Thank you 💜

[@Mayrows]

Love x

[@laylarhymes5959]

Boots have some baby biscuits I use to put that in my daughters milk and it makes them tired and sleep

[@nichela2245]

As your baby is still very new you are safe to use the swaddle technique. Keeps baby feeling snug and secure and more likely to sleep longer. Use a very light sheet or blanket and always lay baby on his back. I used this for my babies before the rolling stage and worked a dream. Please research about this and decide if it's something you would like.to.do..it's not.for everyone, however many of my.friend and I have done this and found it something baby loves and a sleeping and comfort success. ❤❤ wish u all the best

[@Cassieamelier]

i tried this it helped sooo much hes been sleeping much longer thank you ❤️

[@nichela2245]

#LokkedIn Awwe I'm so glad he likes it and it's helping. Keep being great guys ❤❤

[@1sharryb]

Cassy be careful what u eat esp when u r breastfeeding because u can give de baby gas. No spicy or oily 🍲. Drink hot tea and eat on time.Such food is gassy like cabbage and curry, dnt drink too much sweet drink but lots of silk or soy milk and water etc.I pray he feels better. Nuff respect

[@Cassieamelier]

i pray to! definitely trying to watch what i eat i will cut down on oil and spicy foods definitely need to drink tea then !!!

[@Prozee_J]

Aww baby 😢 gently massage his belly around the belly button with 1/2 fingers clock wise motion, you can use an oil.

[@Cassieamelier]

this has been helping so much ! Thank you 💛

[@1sharryb]

Jamaican remedy guys. Some mint tea or gripe water.

[@Cassieamelier]

we have gripe water il try it thank you!

[@jerikia8702]

Check what you are eating broccoli cabbage spicy food and too much dairy may cause the baby to have gas.. Massage the baby's tummy and swaddle the baby snug.. helps them calm down..

[@natachainspired3583]

Nice what about the hair it look nice too

[@ZhaneWalker]

Massage his belly or move his legs as if he’s riding a bicycle and push his legs back towards his head should release any gas in his tummy xx

[@annaa4026]

My son was EXACTLY the same! Thought he was an angel (he was bless him) then he had really bad “colic”, then reflux so GP gave him gaviscon turns out (8months later) he’s allergic to milk! Ughhh. But I don’t pray this for your baby. This too SHALL pass.

[@Cassieamelier]

ahhhhh milk! so all dairy or ? THIS TO MUST PASSSSS AMEN!

[@shirley4897]

Aww is his name Liron?

[@Cassieamelier]

Liron no stay tuned tomorrow il reveal his name!!! 😁

[@sandrarobbins5770]

Hang in there darling, you and Carl are doing a great job! Little man probably does have a lot of gas. Since you are breast feeding and not using formula, it is not the milk. Try massaging him several times a day on his back, tummy and sides. This will hopefully help his little body expel the gas. Good luck!!!!!!!

[@tennesa1]

Gripe water and warm flannel on baby’s tummy xx

[@uniquelady1234]

So Lion, Lyron, Lyon, Lyron, Leon, Leron and my guesses, lol

[@KaondePrincess]

Alcohol-free gripe water worked for my daughter when she was colicy in the first 3 months, also when burping her I would put her on her stomach high up on my shoulder and rub her back up an down or pat. Another easier method for newborns is having the baby on his stomach over your knee and rub the back or pat. Another thing too which needs to be done with discretion because back is best but (super mums don't come for me lol) I used to lay my daughter down on her stomach, that's the only way she would sleep and I was comfortable doing that because she was very strong from even a few days old and was able to lift and turn her head on her own. This way she could easily burp and fart on her own with no pain and she would only wake up if she was hungry.

[@Cassieamelier]

lol you said super mums dont come for me! i get you though you know your baby!

[@naledikumalo9833]

I if you eat gases food your baby become gases watch what you eat . Put the baby on your shoulder to get the air out his stomach

[@shyannestyles2330]

If other women who are on their period are holding him, that can upset his stomach.
