i've been struggling as a mom...😢 real days in my life with a sick baby that doesn't sleep lol

[@yesseniamelendez9541]

You’re doing great , everyone struggles but just know she sees you as the best thing that has happened to her. Mommy took her on walks, talked to her, played with her, fed her, laughed with her. You’re doing awesome ♥️

[@ShanelleRenee]

Ohhh I love this!!! Thank you so much 🤍

[@mariarosario8340]

Shanelle, you are not alone. Motherhood is so hard but so rewarding. Thank you for recommending the fair life protein shakes.

[@ShanelleRenee]

You are so right!!! No problem. Hope you like them as much as us!

[@Ambermarie13]

I’m 22 but my mom can still see it in my eyes whenever I’m getting sick!

[@ShanelleRenee]

I believe it!!!

[@sarahzapien-lh9le]

im going through that right now & it definitely feels so isolating & if your the only person going through it but your not!! literally literally going through the same exact thing & he’s finally get over his sickness!

[@ShanelleRenee]

Awww poor baby! Hope all is going well now!!!

[@veronicacastaneda8865]

I’ve been having a hard past couple days with my baby too. I work from home too so it’s a full time struggle on her off days! I just tell myself “there will be better days. Take it hour by hour. She’s only this small for such a little time”. There are times I get frustrated and I just need 1 minute to take a deep breath reflect and get back into it. You are doing great ❤

[@ShanelleRenee]

You're so right!! It's so hard and thank you for reminding me to take it one hour at a time 😭❤️

[@shellygreen8923]

Generally Pediatricians recommend you stop all bottles by 13 months and be using cups…it is a tooth decay problem to drink milk and fall sleep…and a very hard habit to break…also babies need a certain amount of hours of sleep and that in total based on age….if she sleep so long at night and in morning…she won’t need the long day naps

[@ShanelleRenee]

I’ve cut her nap times down and that has been helping I think. I was reading about it on takingcarababies!

[@AshDash11]

Just went through this 2 weeks ago with my 10 month old. Teething and sick at the same time. I myself got sick just a couple days after. Why I love your vlogs. You are so relatable and show the fun times but also the rough times. You’re a great Mama. Hang in there ❤

[@ShanelleRenee]

Thank you so much, that means a lot! 🥰

[@shanadudley7416]

For the carrier it looks like she’s big enough to make the seat wider. The base should be close to knee pit to knee pit for best support / hip health. I love carrying my baby for his walks with the dogs ❤️

[@swendell9687]

I can't be the only one that was freaked out by that spider lol loved this vlog by the way

[@britishrobinson2986]

Hey “Sha Sha” Brecklyn doesn’t need a perfect mom she needs a happy mom and that’s what you are…..you are doing a fantastic job and even though you feel overwhelmed at times if you can just say a little prayer over yourself and ask God to take away any feeling of inadequacy and tiredness and give you strength…and I know you’ll be better….just know that you are making us smile

[@ShanelleRenee]

Thank you so much. I needed to hear that! 😊

[@GeorgiaPeach87]

I’m so happy she’s sleeping for you again! Great job, Mama! Have a great week! 💜🖤💜

[@ShanelleRenee]

Thank you! I really needed that.ha.

[@BoymomVida]

I understand . Wait until you have all three kids sick if you plan to have more than 2 ! I didn’t sleep for a week and going crazy . But I plugged through. Hugs.

[@ShanelleRenee]

Oh no, I'm so sorry!! I'm feeling for you!

[@johnnakeochanthanivong7433]

Glad she liked the frozen snacks! My 2 baby hater certain purée and if I did the frozen dots she would eat it. Gamechanger

[@lucydinh8902]

Hang in there mama, you’re doing a wonderful job!

[@ShanelleRenee]

🥹🥹🥹 thank you

[@marie-clairegayer1540]

I totally understand how you feel . Sleep deprivation is no joke. You don't even feel like yourself anymore and your emotions can be all over the place. My little girl is teething and has stomach issues and is waking up every 3 hours on a good day. We will both get through this. You got this Mama ❤

[@ShanelleRenee]

Yessss! It’s rough. And poor thing🥹 prayers for better sleep soon!

[@marie-clairegayer1540]

Thank you ❤

[@themellyshow9674]

GIRL!! My baby is two weeks from being 1 and she has been teething & sick for the last 3 months… I totally get it and it feels like it’s never ending cycle and sleep is nowhere inside sight. All I can say is “this too shall pass…” and there will be normalcy again. Until the next foolish sickness 😅. Coffee ☕️ please 🙏🏻 Sending mommy hugs 🤗

[@ShanelleRenee]

lol yes exactly. Those are my thoughts in the middle of the nights, I’m never going to sleep again. Thank youuu!

[@HannahK780]

Can’t believe B Dru is going to be 1 next month!! Found your channel when you found out you were pregnant with her❤❤

[@ShanelleRenee]

I know, it’s crazy how quickly time goes by! ❤️ I feel like I just had her!!! 🥲

[@amyandfamily664]

Hey Shanelle. Do you use any styling products? Your hair is always so shiny.

[@ShanelleRenee]

Lol I really don’t. Only shampoo and conditioner. I have a hair section on my ShopMy page for the things I have used but regularly, I don’t put anything on it lol

[@leticiavargas6120]

my daughter has been waking up so early!! All last week at 4AM!! I was so over it lol then I noticed her 2nd tooth broke through so I'm hoping that was it and she will start sleeping like normal.

[@ShanelleRenee]

I feel you! It's so rough when they don't sleep. Prayers for better sleep.

[@billienoland3575]

You are doing a great job mama & baby b is growing like a weed 🤍 thank goodness she’s feeling better!!

[@ShanelleRenee]

Thank you so much!!😊

[@julieharrington5644]

There is just something i love about your videos! Definitely following you on TikTok too ❤. My daughter is 4 months. Quick question, what do you do for a job? If i go back to work, I'd love one where i could stay home. Just wondering. Thanks!

[@ShanelleRenee]

Aww thank you!! And I work in our billing department. Was not a wfh job until 2020.

[@shelbywalker4608]

Shanelle, did you breastfeed at all? I know you use formula now. I just gave birth on Friday to my baby girl and pumping/ breastfeeding is awful and makes me irritable and annoyed. She has a really shallow latch and I have to use a shield to even breastfeed. Pumping is awful and I won’t do it. I tried for two days and I hate feeling attached to a wall

[@ShanelleRenee]

Aww congrats!! How exciting 🥰 I breastfeed for about 4ish months and I pumped for 7. It was definitely hard in every aspect. You have to take care of yourself!! You baby doesn’t need to be breastfed or need breast milk. She can take formula but she absolutely needs a mommy that is happy and can take care of her. Don’t feel pressured to continue if it’s not something you want to do or enjoy! They do make portable pumps if that’s something you would enjoy better that way you don’t have to feel connected to a wall. You can move around and do stuff while you are pumping. That helped me out a ton! Wishing you the best! 💓

[@CelesteBrooks-g2r]

Hello Beautiful SHANELLE AND BRECKLYNN I'm again first to comment I stop in my tracks when I see my most wonderful family coming on🥹❤️🥹

[@ShanelleRenee]

Thank you for always being here! Means a lot! 💖 you’re too sweet

[@cynthiaknop8995]

Ok just so you know, when your husband was that age he reacted the same way to medicine, it always wired him up. Whether is was supposed to make him sleepy or not he was always wired. So apple and tree ya know...sorry!

[@ShanelleRenee]

lol I’ll tell him that.

[@dreannatv]

Do you have a P.O. Box?? Congrats on your baby ❤❤❤

[@ShanelleRenee]

Thank you! And only a private one right now😊

[@mori.kurogawa7936]

I guess playing with your hair is your nervous tick or self-soothing behaviour. But you'll come across better if you don't. Be aware of your body language and posture when talking to the camera or others. I do not intend to be mean, it's just advice.

[@ShanelleRenee]

@@mori.kurogawa7936 🙄🤔🫠

[@toriluv12]

No offensive but your touching your hair alottt its your hair but still lol

[@ShanelleRenee]

I know. Can’t help it when I’m yapping.
