Congratulations! You’re doing great! I just wanted to hug you when you said you got frustrated with Elliot. They are so lucky to have you. I love the bob.

This video spoke to my soul! Newborn and toddler life is such a wild time. (3 month old and almost 2 year old here) Feeling so blessed, yet so overwhelmed. Also my back is an absolute wreck. This season is a beautiful struggle isn’t it.. You’re doing great mama ❤

Cut the spring onions and freeze them! :)

He looks a lot like Gabe when he was a baby. And congratulations on the newest addition to the fam!

Perfect rice every time - 1 cup of rice to two cups of water. Lid on, cook for ten mins. Take off heat, keep lid on and let sit for another ten mins. Works a charm!! Congrats on your new little baby! I gave birth on 15th Jan. New mum life is touuughhh ! You’ve inspired me to get out and about a bit more. Need to be braver! ❤

[@MaryForester]

Oh that’s so lovely! It is tough but I always try to get out everyday even if it’s just a walk around the block! Be easy on yourself you’re doing the best you can and you’ll get there! Lots of love X

[@meeganerose98]

You are doing amazing. Don’t doubt yourself lovely. Thank you for showing the reality, as it is reality! You are such a fanatic mum, your boys are so lucky you are their mum 💛

[@jasminerossette]

Congrats on having your baby! You are doing so great!

[@AR-vo1vf]

Congratulations Mary! Elliot is gorgeous. And you are smashing it! ❤️ One of the things that helped my poor back postpartum was a changing table. Game changer to not bend over for each outfit and nappy change. Xx

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou! Xx

Re back pain - I have scoliosis so have chronic back pain. I also have an 8 month old baby who has never been ok with being put down or going in the pram. I also have dogs and horses so spend hours a day on the go. When she was little I used a wrap carrier like what you are using and I experienced a lot of pain. I stopped to the Tula free to grow and haven't had back pain since. The more structured carrier held her weight better and was a major game changer for me!

[@MaryForester]

Amazing I defo need to get one! X

[@nellivilhelmiina]

Thank you for this! My son was born on February 9th and we have been home for three days now. Everything is new and overwhelming and watching you really helps.

[@MaryForester]

Oh my love! Things will start to feel better from about 5 weeks but try and just go with the flow right now and cry if you need to! you’re doing amazing! X

[@meb1111]

Loving the mummy vlog ❤ for back pain I love the tens and ems machine from AUVON. Depending on placement it’s good for a lymphatic drainage too. Not forgetting massage gun from HOMEDICS. Hope it helps!

[@MaryForester]

Oooh Thankyou! X

[@miramaramu77]

Congratulations, Mary! You are amazing, honestly.

[@MaryForester]

[@MadebyChann]

I've been following along on IG but I love when you upload a vlog ☺️. Elliott is so cute, I love his little cheeks. In regards to the onion I cut it up and throw it in the freezer so it doesn't go to waste.

[@MaryForester]

Oooh fab Thankyou! X

[@princesskaideka]

Your doing amazingly ❤the exhaustion will get better soon ❤

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou ❤️❤️

[@MISSLEONAJB]

Hey Mary 🤗 lovely to see you, you are doing an amazing job with the 2 kiddies. It’s not easy at all so try not to be hard on yourself. My mum had my elder sister and then me and my twin sister 2 years later, I honestly don’t know how she coped with three of us and then 3 years later had my younger sister 🙈😵‍💫 I hope you’re ok, sending lots of love ♥️ xxx

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou my love! Xx

[@JannetjeW]

Congratulations mama! You're doing so so well. I had my second last week...absolutely dreading my husband going back to work next week. How am I meant to get my eldest out to pre school for 9am 3 days a week?! 🤣🤣

Another beautiful and absolutely lovely vlog from you❤ Just enough

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou!!Xx

[@essyvt7167]

Congratulations on another gorgeous baby! You’re doing a great job. Spring onion- on avocado toast, on poached gags, on roasted tomatoes, on marmite & cottage cheese…..makes everything taste better. Cut with scissors to save using a chopping board 🙂

[@MaryForester]

Ooooh fab tips Thankyou! Xx

[@buzzi2k]

Oh my goodness you're doing so well. The back ache from carrying a baby who won't be put down yet is so hard. 1 - highly highly recommend an osteopath who has a postnatal speciality. Instant relief, plus advice on how to protect and rebuild your body 2 - do you have a more supportive carrier? I went to see a carrier consultant with my baby and it was a game changer. Ended up with a Kahubaby carrier, but it's really personal and to do with your body shape what's most supportive 3 - you can store spring onions in a small amount of water in a glass and they keep for ages Keep going, you're doing amazing Xxxx

[@MaryForester]

Amazing Thankyou so much! X

[@angieguest8903]

Huge congratulations to you all your children are beautiful and I think your great parents..followed you for a while .I remember when you had Gabriel 😊 my niece & her hubby have 3 boys born 2019 2020 & 2021..the eldest William has just turned 4 on the 7th Feb so at nursery now..they have just surprised us baby number 4 due is due in July ..I'm being biased but she really is supermum they live out in the countryside a beautiful part of the UK her hubby is a gamekeeper.. we are all hoping for a girl this time ..and she informs us no more after this 😂 ...best wishes to you all ❤Xx

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou! X

[@qwertyqwert2772]

you are divine mary! love to you and fams!

[@MaryForester]

Thankyou! X

[@jessica26796]

I love your videos the rawness is needed I feel KZbin is soooo fake so first thank you for that now as far as the onions I usually take a old ice tray and freeze my left over veggies or herbs in olive oil just make sure they are cut well stuff them in the ice tray and pour some olive oil over them let them freeze and then when ever you need it pop them in a pan and make a quick stir fry 😀 as far as Gabe I’m a full time working mom so I understand. What’s help me spend time with my 2 year old is watching Mrs. Rachel on youtube you can sit with him and sing the songs she also does sign so he can be learning and singing at the same time and it’s easy to get involved and spend time with him while still managing with the baby I hope this helps.

[@MaryForester]

Fab tips and Thankyou for the lovely comment !!Xx

[@lavoixdevelours]

He is a big beautiful baby! I think he will be tall like his big brother.

[@MaryForester]

[@princesscharlott1983]

Aww baby early days make me broody - but man I remember well the struggles. Tiredness, sleepless, feedings, other child to entertain, feeding and keeping all alive - including a man. It’s amazing how we get through it is a mystery! You’ll be fine sweet x edit - broody but no thanks not again!

[@MaryForester]

Ha! Yeh I’m trying enjoy it but looking forward to a few months from now! Thankyou X

[@AlliesBeautyandHealthChannel]

Mary, get yourself a TENS machine. It will really help your back. Also maybe get a belly/back support to tide you over before you get back to the gym.

[@MaryForester]

Fab Thankyou! X
