P.S. Note from me....I don't love how this video looks slightly purple OR how I used "an" instead of "a" in the intro. My end is also different in this video.
I actually just got a new laptop after many years, and took this week trying to transfer everything over and get it ready for use. This left me slightly less time to perfect this video. I feel like it shows, and I'm sorry. I still stand by all my faves though, just wish this video looked better. Okay if you read this, you're awesome. Now go take a nap. xoxo

Honestly didn’t even notice any of that whatsoever, don’t be to hard on yourself super mama you’re doing great! Love the content, super educational as per usual 🥰

[@MakeupByBeck]

Didn’t notice. Love you and your videos so much! I’ve loved all of them... but this was so relatable hahaha

[@jaelnunez9818]

Also like the others comments I didn’t notice 🤷🏽‍♀️. You’re so right all these baby gear my Bree 🌻 is using right now ! My little girl is 3 months almost 4, I just want to tell you your videos are awesome 😎 you’re a cool mommy 💁🏼‍♀️

[@delaneyexpressionalart]

💖 love you!

[@delaneydorcas6620]

You are definitely more critical than any of us would be! I appreciate your honesty and good vibes as always, no matter if some things don’t seem perfect to you :)

[@vasseurbeauty]

I have a 4 month old and I agree with every single one of these!!

[@priscillarocha8764]

I Love you both ! I bought my Newton matress per your recommendation ! Would love a virtual collab of you two !💕

[@Zombietrippy]

I love you both!

[@dr.madihaarifshealthdiary676]

& I love u both. Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Dr. Madiha Arif's Health Diary on Facebook & KZbin If you gals join my group I will be on the 7th sky 💙❤️💙❤️❤️💜❤️💜

[@nancysilver3596]

I have a 3 month old so definitely loving both of your videos!

“And suddenly, they’re in a baby rave” I’m dead 😂😂😂

[@jjm3009]

“Then suddenly, you have to turn into Jim Carrey“ -Brittany Oh my goodness 😂😂😂😂 that made me laugh, I feel like that being a daycare teacher! I kinda feel like Jim Carrey

[@alleyj826]

This killed me cuz I had just watched the SNL skit where everyone does a Jim Carrey impression before this video 😂😂😂

[@CrisBayless]

My friend lets her kids color her tattoos (they're mostly b&w) and they love it!

[@brittanybalyn]

that's so fun!

[@rebeccaabrams3079]

I only have black outline tattoos and I've always said they'll be my traveling coloring book one day lol

[@taylorl681]

Thanks Brittany! Now I can’t get the idea of a baby rave out of my head 😂

[@brittanybalyn]

LOL i'm telling you, full on baby rave when she had like 4 of them spaced out all over the crib. 😂

[@prplrhinomilk]

My baby’s thighs got stuck in the bumbo I was terrified getting her out and I’ll never use it again 😂

[@abbycaroline2617]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@thebjm1967]

Omg mine too!!!!

[@MissaVideo]

Same!

[@kelseycourtney4761]

A lot of chiropractors and medical professionals actually recommend not using them and that they aren't beneficial for development (apparently) - so might have been for the best

[@chachuti]

I don't even have kids but I love watching your journey through motherhood and how you keep it real!

[@brittanybalyn]

aw thank you!!

[@bellaprimavera7561]

Same 😂

[@gloriamartinez2198]

Your videos are SOO helpful especially for first time moms like me, thank you for this!

[@carissareiann]

Love that you mentioned books! I don’t think enough new parents realize the importance of reading to your baby for brain and literacy development! And babies love looking through books on their own!

[@sophiacantore7732]

If it’s at all possible, arrow is cuter and cuter in every video. I just love her

[@mickeylynn5833]

I have a 4 month old and have been reading to her since she was 3 months. She loves it, and I make it part of the naptime routine. Barnyard dance and panda bear and polar bear are good books as well! I always read to my first born and it really helped with her talking and vocabulary. Every teacher shes had always asked me if she was read to as a baby. Even if you dont think they understand, they are still listening. 😊 Great video, always look forward to watching.♥️

[@MeghanRudolfi]

I would say that one of my all-time favorite items are they glow in the dark MAM pacifiers, haha! I found the light to be dim enough that it didn't bother my baby or keep her from sleeping, but light enough that she can find it in the middle of the night and reinsert it if she needs to

[@scufflebuggy1259]

I second this

[@lauren6860]

Love You Forever is the sweetest book. I still tear up now when I read it.

[@MissaVideo]

Yes!!!

[@irinastraistean1884]

Chris Haughton’ box set of three short books “Shh!” - super nice for babies and toddlers too

[@aileenroberts9925]

My little boy is 4.5 months and our go to books are good night moon and ‘guess how much I love you!’ I started reading it at bedtime when he was a newborn and now I have to read it every night, he always drifts off before the end it’s such a cute book 💙

[@turtleloverT3333]

baby books are super cheap at ross, marshall’s& tj maxx! also the piano mat is the best from newborn and up!

[@amymurray5623]

Everytime I see your little one I always think how much her and my little girl lookalike, it’s scary how much they look alike 😅 Rivers only 3 months so still a few months between them but so similar! When she was sat looking at the camera, I melted, she’s so beautiful 😍 X

[@madisonfortune8921]

Never even thought of doing a “tattoo tour”! Definitely gonna try that out I’m covered in them lol😊

[@rhianakaimandeville5335]

There are some beautiful unique baby books here in Hawaii! My favorites are: Down at the Beach Hina Twinkle, Twinkle, Small Hōkū & Geckos go to Bed

[@charlottewinning6502]

Yesss! I have a 4 month old and have been waiting for this one! So excited for the next age range up as well! You are going through everything 1 month before me so it’s so nice 👍🏼 💕❤️

[@lesliemercado7625]

I love “giraffes can’t dance” and “moo baa lalala” are the two books I reach for the most and my baby enjoys the animal sounds I make. Another good heart warming book is “if i could keep you little”.

[@_anicholson]

The Gruffalo is a great book! Highly recommend.

[@susanbritney]

100%!!

[@Brittroqksz]

My girl is 6 months and she’s loved mirror time since she was born!! We also underestimated how important books are now I’m scrambling to find a bunch haha Love that teether, I’ve never seen it before! Loved this video so much!

[@BeautyByBlairMarie]

lol baby rave😂I love the glow in the dark ones!! At first they are a little bright but after using them they def lose their glow over time aka I buy more😂

[@katelyngrout8606]

Another good teether is the banana brush it also cleans there gums at the same time. We also had problems with the bumboo chair our daughter wasn’t big but she just didn’t sit well in it we just skipped sitters all together and sat on the floor with her or used her breastfeeding pillow as one.

[@lizybaby00123]

The glow in the dark paci’s are great for when they are more toddler age. I remember my oldest could easily find hers if it came out of her mouth at night and put herself back to sleep.

[@hyelicious]

It's 6am now and I was about to sleep but no when I saw this, i had to click!! Hahaha

[@katerinailievska5673]

Thanks for the info, I have a 3.5 month old baby and didn't realize he should start to sit at this point, I thought it is early.

[@brittanybalyn]

Every baby is different, but if you’re seeing neck control on their own, you could try out some assisted sitting like the sit me up! I wouldn’t rush it and sometimes waiting a week or two makes a world of difference!

[@zuzu22able]

Hey Brittany...I am struggling with two things right now. Will it be possible for you to share your insights. 1. Regaining breast milk supply - pumping schedule etc. 2. How did you bathe Arrow since she was born? Did you use any specific tub or inserts etc. This would be really helpful. Thank you thank you...I hope you find some time to club some content in one video..pls pls

[@Marisal0121]

I have a 4 month old & a 22 m old & you nailed it . Both of my babies are thick so the bumbo was a no . We love books ! Your daughter is adorable 🥰

[@238Tina1]

Pout pout fish is definitely my favourite! And any of the little blue truck books!

[@amoCirque]

Books for sure!! Check out Usborne Touchy-feely books, Karen Katz where is baby's belly button and any Sandra Boynton board book is great for short fun stories that are just stimulating enough without enticing your little to stay awake, check out blue hat green hat and moo, baa lalala. My 2.5year old still loves books and my now 7 month old is so fascinated by them.

[@shougelnfai3ii588]

when i saw all these abusive parents that really uses their children for the views then i watch you and how you really take care of this beautiful angel i feel im in the safe side of youtube you are a great mama 🤍🤍🤍

[@momnamurad5218]

Finally u post the vedio I m waiting for it from so long I check my KZbin 10 times....my daughter is 9 days younger then of your daughter I enjoy your vedios so much ...

[@christinabruce5660]

"Big Fish, Little Fish" Dr. Seuss "The ABC Book" "Noothgrush on my Toothbrush" also "Duck in a Truck"....

[@drest5316]

LOVE reading “Big Fish, Little Fish” to my 6 yr old. When he would look through his books for bedtime, I would often suggest that one. I’d get so into it 🤪

[@AJ1986daisymae]

Arrow could seriously be a baby model. She is so adorable and such a beautiful baby!

[@CindyReyes]

Even though I’m going to be a second time mom, I save all your baby videos because baby #2 will be here in April and I value all your opinions/recommendations so much! ✨

[@brittanybalyn]

awww that's so sweet!! and congratulations (I hear the second time around is easier, but you can let me know that lol) xoxo

[@CindyReyes]

@@brittanybalyn thank you!! Definitely will 😩

[@jewelofthanile5]

Don't Eat Me, Chupacabra! Is a book I absolutely love.

[@nicolehaun5754]

My daughter LOVEEEESSSS the book “we’re going on a bear hunt” it’s a little longer but she adores it. She laughs through the whole thing! She’s 8 months old and I’ve had it since she was born.

[@nicolehaun5754]

Also, when she can grab the pacifier herself you’ll change your mind about the glow in the dark pacifier lol. I thought the same thing but now that my daughter can grab the binky and replace it herself the glow in the dark ones are a must

[@JamieAndJess913]

When my son turned one, I asked everyone to give him books instead of bday cards. They could write in them to him just like a card plus he will keep them forever!!!

[@zuzu22able]

Current skin care routine Please.....you charmed your skin

[@prescilla201]

For books, the hungry Caterpillar is great

[@Magicmom1]

Hit second trimester today so I’m starting to get serious about our registry - this is so helpful! (And we already have Kyte and Halo sleep sacks because Black Friday 😅)

[@brittanybalyn]

Ahhh I'm SO MAD I missed the kyte baby sale!

[@Najote]

Our baby was born on the same day as Arrow (so much fun to follow you!) and he loves all of the "Curious George" books and has been since 2 or 3 months. We also read books with Bamse (Swedish) that has lots of beautiful colors to look at and Muumin/Moomin (Finnish). Don't know if Bamse is avaliable in English though? One of his favorite toys is also a book, can't find the right translation for it, but in Swedish it's called "prasselbok". The pages are fabric and it makes crunching/rustle sounds if that makes sense? :P

[@miahd1568]

I see the hard work in your videos! They’re always so presentable and nice!

[@saturn15]

My baby girl will be 4 months soon! I’m definitely saving this video to refer for things we’ll need. If you’re ever in Colorado, maybe our daughters could have play time! That would be cool imo. Books we have so far besides Good Night Moon are Twinkle Twinkle You’re My Star, and If I were an Octopus. They’re both short and sweet. 📚 I don’t have the purple monkey piano mat, we have the Baby Einstein one. Just purely music, then there’s a Discovery mode to learn colors, numbers and animals in English, Spanish and French. We also got a Sit Me Up! I use that and the Infant to Toddler rocker whenever I feel that it’s a good time to read. Both the Sit Me Up and the piano mat were gifts from my in laws.

[@lialikeleah]

Love your videos Brittany! First time mom due soon so everything you’ve posted so far has really helped me get prepared and what to possibly expect :)

[@brittanybalyn]

Aww congratulations!! You got this 💗

[@brookewalton5715]

** video idea ** You should totally do a “best / worst presents you got from friends/family” I’m currently in that age group where my friends are all starting to pop.. in need of advice and inspiration ✨🎉👶🏼🎁🎁🎁🧸

[@lesyeux00]

Hi Brittany - I’m a first time mom of a 3 month old, so fun following in your and Arrow’s footsteps - on books: you have to check out “King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub” it’s a classic - funny and beautifully illustrated. ❤️

[@kaytiemyers2698]

My occupational therapist told me that the sit me up is much better for leg and hip development and recommended we not get a bumbo for our daughter

[@quinncrochet19]

Having a baby this spring!! Love these videos!! They are seriously so helpful!! Thanks so much ❤

[@gulcinozyedierler5930]

Love you so much❤I have a baby boy he is 3 months old,we are watching you together,he likes your daughter❤

[@leighathebuilder2353]

My sister & I loved Zin Zin the Violin, definitely going to be reading this to my baby in August!!

[@lisalu3994]

I almost got my little one stuck in the bumbo lol totally understand where your coming from with that.

[@scufflebuggy1259]

The glow in the dark mams were my life savers.

[@jwilk241]

Same! When I was half asleep and didn’t want to turn on the light just to put his paci back in, they saved my life. I just don’t “charge” them up all the time so they have a subtle glow

[@scufflebuggy1259]

Jessica Miller yes same!

[@kalynndfregia3349]

I found the glow in the dark pacis hard to find because they are see through😅. Unless you turn out all the lights it’s gone forever 🥴

[@katybooream7293]

Book recommendation: The Goodnight Train and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

[@meryembena]

Very useful as always Can you please make a video on baby sleep and how did you transition baby into her room ? Thank youuuu 🥰😘

[@kileighsmith9687]

My baby is the same age and this is so on point!! Everything you named I use and my baby loves! Haven’t tried the glow in the dark passy tho lol I feel like I would like it because I always lose hers also the sit me up is so much better! I feel like she slumps in the jumbo

[@janellecastillo94]

Yayyy you finally pronounced Bjorn right!! I can’t explain how proud I am and yes I recognize it’s a little weird

[@xosarahstreams]

I love your mommy videos! I don’t have any babies yet - but maybe soon 🤭 I’m so excited! Your videos are so informative and so real.

[@brittanybalyn]

thank you!! 💗

[@kimpauever]

This is so helpful. Nice to have a heads up on what we need in the next month :) thanks!

[@rachelg4135]

I don't have kids yet but I will definitely be saving this video to look back on! :)

[@katelynnicole4767]

Look into the Dolly Parton imagination library! It’s not available everywhere but you sign up your child and you get a free book every month until they’re 5 years old!

[@julielaramee8810]

Hi Brittany and Arrow! The Very Cranky Bear is our fave 🙂 fun to read and seems to be the only book that doesn’t make him lose his sh*t before nap time haha.

[@lilianadejesus5321]

Bumbo floor seat was a bad buy. My son only used it a few times. It was easy putting him in it, but getting him out was a different story - his poor thighs. I ended up, using the breastfeeding pillow and high chair to practice seating.

[@jessesoto226]

Momma of 3 bebés and I love your reviews and honesty, you're doing amazing ! My little ones always admire my tattoos and like to make more tattoos on me with crayon lol

[@nikkitomes9880]

If you don’t already own a copy of the book “wherever you are my love will find you” you have to pick one up! It was gifted to us by a friend and is honestly one of our most precious gifts. It took me at least a dozen times of trying to read it before I was able to finish it without being interrupted by a flood of happy tears. I’m very minimal but I can see myself keeping this book as a keepsake forever. It is truly such a sweet story, I won’t spoil it for you 😉

[@meaganvillone2253]

Piano kick mat 🙌🙌🙌

[@lilianadejesus5321]

Book recommendation - "I love you to the moon and back" - can get it on amazon. I enjoyed it so much, that I got it for my sister to read to her daughter.

[@sarahhanson4183]

Book: Pout Pout Fish! It’s longer but so cute.

[@kellyfinley4419]

Rainbow fish also

[@shaunalee7826]

My son is going NUTS on his piano mat right this moment and I have purple monkey in a bubblegum tree constantly stuck in my head 😂😂

[@brittanybalyn]

LOL I feel this!

I asked my family for books in Spanish for Christmas and I love reading to my son!

[@MollyMA13]

BABY RAVES! I can’t 😂

[@TheHomesteadTrail]

Don’t sweat the video problems, I didn’t even notice. My favorite book is “there was an old lady who swallowed a fly” 🤣 a classic! 6 months along currently with my first, thank you for your videos they’re very helpful!

[@FlashbackFoodshack]

Cute fact - Babybjörn means baby bear in Swedish which makes that bouncer even better, in my opinion!

[@authoralaskawalters]

I have a 17 month old and he is still obsessed with the mirror and putting different hats on and looking in the mirror 😂🥰

[@KaylaCosmetics]

I have the same playmate and my daughter loves it. I laughed at the bubblegum tree comment!

[@jennynesheim5963]

She is just a beautiful girl and Omgosh she’s so big

[@ChiaraMagix]

I love all your videos, could you please tell me what kind of lighting do you use in your videos? Thanks!

[@Beautybykaralauren]

Ohhh my gawd 🤣🤣🤣 that last one tho!!! I only use the glow in the dark ones because there always getting chucked 🤣🤣🤣 that’s so funny that that’s the only thing you do like!!!

[@glocan]

Yes! The Kick and play is awesome. Purple monkey in a bubblegum tree is low key my jam 🎶😂

[@missmaggiexox6667]

My girl Isla was born shortly after Arrow & I LOVE following along your guys’ journey & can totally relate to almost everything 😂 except the sleep sacks...Isla refuses to transition & I’m panicking!🤪 BOOKS: Little Blue Truck, so so cute & would be a good nap time book! Longer but our favorite-Camping Spree with Mr Magee. Rhymes, adorable story, & illustrations on point!

[@jill9606]

My 3.5 month loves staring at my glasses and my hair in a bun!! Lol the free stuff is the best!

[@sarahneplevrednav]

my daughter is almost 4 months, can you do a video about how you started napping ? because it is a fail for now ;p

[@Jaydeb511]

Baby rave. Hahahahahah I seriously laughed out loud. love your videos!!!

[@drewhenry1371]

Getting ready to be a dad and your videos have helped so much fam😭😭

Kissing hand made me cry when I read it to my son.

[@kennedykreger8468]

Love these videos! Also, Arrow is BEAUTIFUL oh my lord!!

[@tinyribblet1874]

The glow in the dark pacifier will be useful when she starts dropping the pacifier 87 times each night and is able to find and replace it herself. Pro-tip for non-glow in the dark pacifiers: put 5 of them in the crib so they're easier to find and when some drop on the floor it's not the end of the world. 😁

[@samanthadominguez3447]

Baby rave 😂 luckily mine isn’t into them so they don’t keep her up but that makes sense it’s distracting for nighttime lol

[@alwayzlivelaughlove]

We were gifted The Pout Pout Fish and it’s so stinking cute!

[@eshal3553]

That kick and play I bought for my baby for 90 dollar 😕 it was expensive but it’s exact same thing but with some extra balls to play...
