LIFE AS A PREGNANT MUM WITH A TODDLER | VLOG

[@freyamelrose7769]

elle, you and connor have done an incredible job with raising saint, he is honestly a credit to you both. so excited to see the future for your little family, so much love to you all

[@elainedent11]

Ellie my advice with Saint, is not to rush the process of anything, He may back track when baby boy comes along if you try to rush any progression , He needs to be as much the centre of your world as baby boy will be , you will know what I mean when baby boy comes , DONT RUSH HIM 💙

[@jjm3009]

Such a good point! Very nice for pointing this out to Elle 💙 sometimes when toddlers learn new things they may regress on other things they previously knew or with big changes, that’s so true

[@helen5242]

I agree and he's still a baby himself ...hes adorable xx

[@rosellatorino1363]

I totally agree please do not rush him into anything ...he's still very little himself ...you will know Elle when to take each next step. All the best with this transition 🥰 💙💙

[@keianolan2562]

Totally agree with this! Let him take the lead xxx

[@suejohns7788]

If you weren’t having an other baby would you be doing this with Saint , take your time don’t rush him, he is a lovely baby xx❤

[@Lynnie223]

Honestly ellie and Connor I wouldn't do any of said transitions before new baby, the biggest reason and this is only from experience is Saint will need a little more comfort when baby 1st comes and dummy etc are his conforts. Also to make such big changes when baby due so soon you don't want him to rebel by feeling you are taking comforts away. A top tip for when you do take dummy is to snip ends slightly with scissors, ( he will not like the feel and discard dummy) and this then makes it their choice to not want one x hope that makes sense x

[@selinalong9314]

My advice of having 2 children under 2 is there is absolutely no rush in anything. My first born I felt the more pressure I put on him having to go in a bed, drink out of a cup etc the longer I put it off 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ 1 step at a time with things and don’t feel you need to have everything sorted before baby boy arrives. My 1st born is now in a bed, with guards (from Argos), drinks out of a cup (one with a straw) all at the age of 2. It will all happen naturally and in yours and saints time. Congratulations to you all!! Welcome to mum life of 2 ❤️

[@cynthiadenniston8741]

Oh yes!! Wasn't expecting this video in the middle of the week so delighted you put this up 🥰

[@joboucher]

Bed guard is the best option! I put my boy in big boy bed when he was 3. On his birthday and used it as a birthday present and he felt like he was a big boy! He transitioned so well. Can’t remember the age he came off milk bottles, but it sorted happened naturally he just didn’t want it anymore. And loved his water and squash. When it feels right it’ll happen easily x

[@mirandafriday4023]

Aww little Saint still a little baby boy himself. Treasure your time you spend with just you and him ❤️

[@karat24x]

I love you guys SO much😭😭😭 Didnt even realise half an hour went by watching🤣🤣 you both are genuinely the best parents ever!! saint is just so polite😢❤

[@chloemcdermott8247]

May be worth considering for baby no2 to wean away from dummy around 6 months, as this is where the reliance starts to form and makes it harder to transition away later. It allows the baby to learn how to self soothe before the become reliant on the dummy which is a good thing to learn. We had to do this by accident as our daughter needed a cleft repair and wouldn't be allowed a dummy after surgery so didn't want her to be relying on it and asking for it after surgery but it went so well we plan to do it with no2.

[@SweetieYams]

You and con are such good parents😭😭 the part where you were singing to saint in the car was so sweet and funny😂

[@bethany7520]

I’m loving the amount of videos we been blessed with😍

[@Martha-ps1vc]

You are all just glowing, kind, honest souls. Obsessed with you all. Saint is THE cutest little thing. Not forgetting Herb and Hec😭 congratulations Swift family💙💙

[@sarahdutton2287]

Thanks for any content Elle your vlogs are always great x

[@sammygee87]

Just looking at your cook books on top of your cupboards and thought there is a good spot to the right hand side of the sink that you could put a couple of shelves on the wall for them….sorry can’t help myself, I’m an interior architect!! Loved the vlog, thank you x

[@jacquelineboswell2290]

Mum to an almost two years old and I plan on keeping him in the crib with a sack until around 3. I personally don’t want a toddler that can get out of his bed at night while I have a young babe so we’re going to wait. He sleeps so well in his crib with his sack I’ll worry about it when the next babe starts sleeping through the night. As for dummy’s my son sucks his thumb which will be a challenge too so I have no advice there. So excited to watch all the pregnancy baby content 💕 I had my baby a few months before you and now we’ve switched with these babes ✨

[@bethlouise371]

Living for this video as a mummy of boys myself! Saint is such a little chatter box! ❤

[@chloedurr1420]

You are the cutest little family. I can’t deal.

[@sjones2335]

My two-cent advice is to keep Saint in a crib until he's at least 2 yrs old. You might find Saint a little jealous that the new baby will be in a crib and he's not. Putting Saint in a bed at a young age might prove to be a little difficult "keeping" him in the crib when he doesn't want to sleep, but you know he needs it. I wish you the best - use your intuition and do what you think is best. If you think it's right for your family, you won't go wrong. Best of luck!

[@samanthapearson5962]

Ah I'm with you there Elle with the housewives, just easy watching. Saint is amazing, coming on so well. Credit to you both 😊

[@michellehooper661]

What a beautiful boy Saint is and his speech is really coming on. I wouldn’t rush any of the transitions - just take your time. With regards dummies - my daughter was obsessed with hers and we told her the dummy fairy was coming to get hers and she would leave her a gift for them. She was little upset a day or so then was fine. Bed wise you can get ones with guards - I would have a good look around online and read reviews etc. You are both doing a great job of parenting, you have a happy content little one.

[@morganevans588]

i remember when you posted the house tour of your house when you first bought it and you were talking about like rooms potentially being baby rooms but not for a while and now you’re here almost parents of two

[@hannahprentice10399]

You and Connor are amazing parents!🙏🏻Super excited you are having another beautiful baby boy!💫So exciting Saint will have a great relationship with his baby brother✨💙

[@kimberleypeck]

Elle & Connor! You are the greatest parents to Saint he’s so lucky to have you both! And for your new addition you’ll both be the best parents to both! 🤍 Saint when he said please he’s so cute! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend 💜 Happy Thursday

[@j.b.13119]

Congratulations, Elle and Connor! You are great parents, and Saint and your new addition is very lucky to be blessed with you two as their parents. Sending love and light. Have a wonderful day. 🕊

[@mariem11]

Such a lovely family! One of my favourite channels. Congratulations on baby number 2! Xx

[@keeleypugh5640]

Hi I wouldn’t rush with saint his only 18 months old. I would try one thing at a time so make your one priority then stick with that untill his got the hang of that then try something else. Parenting is so hard to know what to do for the best but it’s the best job in the world x

[@yayasjourney]

I LOVE Yellowstone…can’t wait for the new season

[@chrisfalkner9695]

Have an appointment with your health visitor or go to baby clinic to see them there xx

[@PsMom20]

Oooh Elle defo do Dubai! It’s my favourite place ever! 💥 Fantastic for children too! We’re away in June again! ☀️ Loveddd todays vid! Lots of love to you and the gang 😍😍😍

[@sophiemunianga]

I have roughly the same age gap with my two girls as you will have, my only advice, wait until they show signs of being ready! My eldest had a dummy for everything but I noticed at some point instead of sucking it she just chewed it, this obviously caused concern so I decided at that point to remove it. Went cold turkey one night and just took it, she had a meltdown that one night and I told her it was now gone, she never asked for it again. I took that as validation she was actually ready. Same thing with sleeping, I co slept and then she went straight to a single bed (she had a Montessori floor bed so I didn’t need a bed guard) I did this when she went from sleeping all the way through the night to having a really broken sleep, tossing and turning and kicking us a lot in bed. I thought one night she just must need more space, so we tried her in her own bed… sure enough, she was ready! It’s a big adjustment having a new baby in the home, do things at yours and Saints own pace and I’m sure the transition will be smooth❤

[@AlexandraThomason]

Saint is an absolute credit to you both & you're such an amazing duo together as parents ! 💙

[@jessicawilmot3041]

Love watching your videos Elle! A little tip for second baby boy in terms of getting rid of the dummy would be to put it on the tree for Santa at Christmas time!

[@angelakeane4987]

I saw there’s a new series can’t wait😀 have you seen on Netflix dead to me? That’s really good and you must of watched desperate housewives. Xx

[@donnajohansson4105]

Don’t rush the transitions for Saint. It will all happen in good time. Wait till the new baby arrives and Saint has had some time to adjust.❤

[@kterry101d]

I've heard of you cut the end of the pacifier that goes in their mouth, it limits the suction they can create. Then they usually end up not wanting it on their own

[@sophiejanegough551]

Wow elle you are making me so broody again haha beautiful little family and another gorgeous boy on the way 💙 so happy for you all xx

[@rachelscott8463]

Loved this vlog!!! Missed day in the life vlogs and so nice to see you all as a family!! 🥰

[@hopeturner9648]

Can’t believe I missed you in Swindon!

[@sarahkennard7923]

You’ve done such a good job 🥺🥺 how did you bring his speech along?

[@laurenluckett7586]

We used a bed guard, and with the dummy and bottles put them all in a box let saint do it. And say they’re to be sent to the baby house. And then he gets another box with a present in return xxx

[@Hollie789]

He is so cute! He’s grown so quick! Bless him he’s lovely Ellie. Congratulations on having another boy 💙 two gorgeous boys xx

[@Mrsdumee]

Loved it😊 I am not a mum , i am a cat mum😉 But please don’t rush it with Saint you have all the time with him just enjoy the little steps he takes and it doesn’t need all to be done before baby boy comes, Can also happing after he is in you’re family lives❤️😘

[@t.g5223]

Elle, you have such a beautiful family. I’m expecting my first baby in May, and your way of motherhood gets me so inspired and excited for when my baby girl gets here💗✨ love you so much beauty!

[@juliespencer1164]

Hi Elle, you and Connor are great parents Saint is so adorable and can not wait to meet baby no 2. lots of love guys to you all. xxx

[@caroledumbleton4448]

Saint just gets more adorable ❤️

[@denisebucknall1591]

Oh Saint is adorable gorgeous blue eyes 💙 lovely vlog ❤️

[@hayleysmith9548]

My little girl has just stopped having her dummy at night and she just turned three and we just had a little chat about it and she happily gave it up no issues! We tried earlier and it was nowhere near as easy. I wouldn’t worry about getting him out of a sleeping bag any time soon either because they can’t really keep a duvet on them until I’d say definitely past two but more like 2.5 years really! I think we used a toddler bed from 2 but still a sleeping bag for a little while. Basically just don’t rush it you will know when he’s ready! We did bottle at night until nearly two and again zero issues stopping that as well! I was quite sad to give that one up though tbh 😂 xx

[@eleanor.western]

i saw you in cabot circus yesterday and you walked past me while vlogging but i was too scared to say hi and didn’t want to interrupt the vlog! 😅 but you looked so gorgeous! also convince i’m psychic because i had a dream i would see you the night before ❤️

[@TheFifthWorld22]

✨✨really cool! sending love

[@marcy-nooramsden2359]

There is a new season coming on from the real housewives of New Jersey, I think it’s coming out the 7th of February x 16:28

[@kimthorne2107]

Does anyone know where this soft play is? Looks really good xx

[@missknighthood7505]

A good series to watch well that’s off you like a doctor sort of setting is Greys Anatomy. There are 19 series so far

[@laina3921]

I saw a video from a KZbinr called Our Tiny Tribe (Ebony Day) and she had her kids place their dummies out for the 'Dummy fairy" to take them. She told them that they had grown up and no longer needed them and that the 'Dummy fairy' would come in the night to take them. I don't think her kiddos have asked for their dummy since! Maybe its worth giving it a go once Saint is a little older. I love your videos by the way, especially the Primark shopping trips 🥰

[@gembets]

My first born was addicted to his dummy oh my gosh. By 16 months I did it cold turkey I told him to leave it at the door and say bye bye and Batman ( his favourite back then ) was going to leave him a gift when he woke up from his nap. He was so excited and ran to the door and found a new Batman teddy to sleep with instead of the dummy, we did have our random moments of crying but a hug and reminder of Batman teddy sure helped. I would aim to do one thing straight away so the dummy then when he is settled transition the bed after the holiday. Don’t do it all at once it may be quite challenging, but then again we stress about the outcome and sometimes their just so brave and it goes so well!

[@Theresebonath6077]

God he is so Adorable and so sweet and polite ❤️🥰❤️

[@SaymSaym96]

Where is that soft play? We are local to you and the little ones in my family would love this! Xx

[@mumtaz597]

The way saint saying hecky 😍

[@kym.etherington]

[@bevhartnoll3004]

Such a lovely 😍 vlog saint is so cute 💙

[@sharonhughes7895]

I wouldn't do the bed yet. Wait till after baby be couple of months because Saint be running round in night

[@jaidawhite9755]

More blogs like this please!!!!

[@natashalawrence4545]

I have two kids 2 years apart and my advice would be to wait to do the transitioning so saint doesn’t get upset. When a new baby comes they can go backwards, I would maybe give him time to settle. Sending you lots of love x

[@MorganMaryRollason]

EXCITED FOR THIS!!!❤

[@meganstudent5401]

saint shouting for the boys was adorable so excited for the newest baby boy to arrive ❤ xxx

[@Martha-ps1vc]

The Rig on Amazon is fantastic

[@jennanicolenorth6478]

Was really nice to watch a day in your life, you make a lovely family and saint is so cute 🥰

[@lozbozyloulou2264]

You need to get one of those cute “boy mum” sweaters x

[@fionaalice1]

Saint is the cutest 🥹. You have thee most beautiful family Elle ❤️

[@jenna89josh91]

Watch out with bed guards as Saint might be one of those toddlers who climb over the guard which might be worse than not having one. If he can get down from the bed safely he will be fine without.

[@ourclarkclan]

There's 19 months between my 2 boys and it's honestly the best thing ever. On the dummy front. It was a concern for me for a while and my dentist who is great, he explained not to worry about it till he was 4. Open bites if they have one reverts back. He said not to worry. My oldest slept in a sleeping bag till over 2, didn't go into a toddler bed till over 2 and a half (despite my friend kids transitioning earlier) and he only just gave his dummies to santa when we were at centre parcs this Christmas gone and my oldest is 4 in Feb. He'd have it for bedtime and I really thought it would be awful, but in the month leading up to centre parcs end of November I paid for a really authentic looking santa do a video for him to say he was excited to see him and give him the dunny for Santa's baby reindeer etc and we ordered a book with a simular story line that we read, and showered home with encouragement prezzies after he gave them away. He asked for it that night, but didn't fuss too much and was fine ever since. Id definitely say don't put pressure on it, don't compare to others, everyone's circumstances are different. And ultimately its so much comfort for them, you don't see any 10 year olds with a dummy I think. Also having a new baby, he mught resent the baby abit seeing them with a dunny and he isn't allowed one. I'd aim for the Christmas after he turns 3 and maybe stick to dummy just at sleep time x

[@zoebrindle7269]

Ellie don't rush the transitioning period with Saint ... having two babies in their cots is in many ways easier for the first few months of New baby arriving . Dummy too ,Saints still very much a baby ( I know it’s easy to see him as big brother) however as you know the baby baby period doesn’t last long . Like you I had three babies very close together , and you’ll know when Saints ready to make these changes . From one Mummy to another just relax and enjoy your time with Saint . Take time and simply enjoy now , and believe me all will fall into place 💐😘🥰

[@kellycowling7810]

Does anyone know which soft play this is at cribbs causeway?

[@romyharnett-balkwill6807]

Toddler munchkin transition cups, can still have milk, but they aren’t full on baby bottles. Bed guards for a toddler bed, and start of with naps for no dummy; or to completely cold Turkey and have a hard week

[@lilystepancich]

Id stay away from the wrangler, i just traded in my 2019 bcz it felt like driving a death trap. Got another suv thats way better

[@michelleshaw9358]

Would you please do an update sincare an make up routine if you get a chance . congrats on the baby 👶 🙌🙌 luv your vlogs

[@megchiplen610]

Omg Saint talking and saying the dogs names is the most adorable thing🥹 LOVED watching him in this vlog, he’s such a little character!😂❤️

[@horsesgirl16]

You should check out Umbrella Academy! It's not on right not but there's like 4 seasons on Netflix, I binged it all when I had covid last year and I loved it

[@mariahhensby5940]

What your skincare? Your skin is glowing!! X

[@kl-lr1fm]

Elle and Connor are such good parents. Saint is so well mannered and has lovely manerisms. hope my baby is like this!!!

[@sarahfallaize7123]

Loved this 🤍 adorable family 🥰 xxx

[@lauraroberts1094]

If you’ve not watch already, a good girly Netflix show to binge is “Firefly Lane” 🥰 also heard “Dead to me” is really good!? X

[@bibithomas1379]

You are both such amazing parents you should be really proud of yourself xx

[@louisegibbon9723]

Hi Elle! Just to add my two peneth in too! My 3 year old niece has hugely regressed since her brother was born, and it is apparently completely normal, even though her baby talking drives me insane because she was such a better talker before he was born. Also I was terrified she was going to not like him because she is always the centre of attention but she is absolutely OBSESSED with him and couldn’t possibly love him anymore. Good luck, I’m sure everything will work out amazingly! ❤

[@KateAshworth]

Loved seeing your cute little morning routine and Saint's adorable talking 🥰🤗 x

[@danniemarie7723]

Loved this Vlog been lovely seeing how much saint has come on! ❤ also a tip is to let him pack all his dummys into a bag & send them to the babys in hospital so when you bring baby boy home with a dummy he understands x

[@ntimapreusser]

My babies were 2 years apart, and we potty trained and did all the transitions before baby was born and I wish I hadn’t. She regressed a lot and I definitely rushed it when I didn’t need to. A new baby is such a big shift & it’s okay to wait until things settle before moving forward. ❤

[@oliviawelch8121]

I can’t get over how sweet, cute and helpful Sainty is!!!! Love you guys 🥺🤍

[@julieknowles6331]

Oh my Saint is so gorgeous I could watch him all day. My boys are 18 months apart they are 28 and 29 now. When the youngest was born I thought that the eldest was like a toddler but actually when I look back he was still a baby. I think if you do all of that transition it maybe too much, I had two in cots. 2 with dummies and it was fine I think 2 is a good age to wean all of those things, you are amazing parents you really are xx

[@kym.etherington]

the way saint says hecky and herbie is adorable!👼🏻🥹🫶🏻

[@brookearmitage3123]

My advice would be to not do everything at once . Try just hiding the dummy all day and night and just give it to him if he asks for it at night . It's what I did with my girls and they just never asked for it I felt like I gave it them more than they asked ❤️

[@jenlfc9720]

Love you guys ❤

[@lucylanc98]

Love watching you and your family❤️

[@kathrynbrown9344]

No way were they in Swindon, literally 5 minutes from my house and I missed them!!

[@jasminehoare3691]

Hi Elle babes, when it comes to dummies, you could trying saying to Saint the dummy fairy has to come and take them away and give them to the new baby when he arrives although he’s only 18 months he may still understand ❤ best of luck with all the transitions lovely xxx

[@jasminehoare3691]

But as well, don’t put too much pressure on yourselves with the new baby’s arrival nearing, you’re all going to go through that transition of another mini, ride the waves as they come!

[@lauramissen8560]

I cnt wait to see baby boy number 2 and have u give him and if he look liek Saint and as the wake up togther

[@SharonT109]

Santi a nice name spells Saint as well x great vlog

[@DelectablySimple]

My son was 23 months when we stopped with his dummy. We waited until Christmas and we explained to him that Santa was going to be taking his dummy but would be bringing him all the presents he wanted instead. It worked perfectly and he didn’t once ask for it again. Maybe you could wait until Easter time and use the Easter bunny in the same way 😊

[@laurenmaxwell4011]

Love these kind of videos. Beautiful family , saint is such a big boy now ❤ where do you get your lounge sets from please the one you put on for dog walking? X
