my *slow* morning routine with a 5 month old

[@RtlyBeauty]

Awwwww he is obsessed with mommy. He can’t keep his eyes off of you. So sweet ❤❤

[@laurynwillkomm]

Hahaha he really can’t!!

[@britneyduranko420]

Your baby is so cute😊 love your video s

[@leia09766]

the way zeke is staring at you in the beginning is too adorable!

[@laurynwillkomm]

I know 🥹🥹🥹

[@gianellaaaa]

I have a 7 month old and she’s been sleeping on her stomach since she was 2 months lol. Some babies love sleeping on their stomach just like adults like sleeping on their stomachs, for some it’s just more comfortable. Once we let her sleep on her tummy, she slept through the whole night. If they can lift up their head, they’re fine to sleep on tummy. ♥️ I know this is controversial but baby will be okay! It’s so sweet seeing Zeke’s BLW journey btw ♥️

[@HannahRing-i3q]

I have a 3.5 month old baby, and it’s so nice to hear someone share sleep struggles and to not pretend like everything is perfect/easy! Super refreshing. ❤️

[@laurynwillkomm]

[@Katherine-cp9uu]

It’s always a good day when we get a new vlog! Going to try out that Bible, thank you for the recommendation. Blessings to you and your family 💓💓💓

[@laurynwillkomm]

Yay!!!

[@ericahenson]

you can let him sleep on his belly as long as he isint swaddled ☺️ my daughter started at 3 months and i was so scared i lost so much sleep but her doctor said it was fine because she could roll on her own!

[@laurynwillkomm]

Got it!!! Thank you!

[@pamelamajor1566]

I bought the Worry Less, Pray More devotional on your recommendation, and I love it. Great addition to my morning devotions. I want the Bible as well, but not sure about supporting Candace Cameron Bure...

[@laurynwillkomm]

Hmmmm I don’t know much about her

[@claireduckworth7659]

I loved how zeke was looking at you in the beginning and he is so cute!

[@laurynwillkomm]

hahah aawwww i know!!

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Lauryn!! I’m so obsessed with your content and I’ve loved seeing you as a mom! You’re such a light and an inspiration to so many girls! I love your long videos every week and I’m so grateful for your channel! Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@laurynwillkomm]

So sweet! Thank you!!

[@xsarahxfaithx]

loveee your content lauryn!! I will literally watch anything you post lol 🤍

[@laurynwillkomm]

Thank you for your support 🩷

[@laurenharkson-kelley25]

Watching this this morning made me motivated to actually get ready for the day rather than just slump through with my 4 month old ❤️

[@laurynwillkomm]

Awwww im so glad!!!

[@kathywilliams5995]

Hello It is so nice to see little man smiling and laughing at the start of the day. Lauren you and your better half are doing such a good job of being new parents. Need to ask the sound that is in your bedroom is that a sound machine ? And do u have the link for it? I sleep with the tv on all nite since my husband passed 8 years ago and if I don’t have something on I will constantly get up all hours of the nite because I will think I heard something r someone in my yard. So the tv keeps my mind from worrying. I did not have this problem when my husband was still with me and he worked on the river for 71 days at a time. Since I know he is never coming back now I have so much to think and worry about and maybe that type of sound machine will help instead of the tv. Have a great day. God Bless your little family

[@mirandagillman838]

I’m a mama to 2 under 2 (23 months and 10 months) and transitioning to the crib can be hard! I didn’t do this for naps or bed till around 8/9 months. Staying consistent helps a lot! They eventually learn the routine and what to do. It can be frustrating but it gets better!! You’re doing great😌

[@laurynwillkomm]

yes its gotten so much better!!!

[@emmameredith8846]

Our 5 month old has loved his tummy! Best sleep he has is when he’s on his stomach :) I’m with you with the short naps! Have you tried a longer wake window? Our baby struggles to nap long if he’s not fully tired yet!

[@laurynwillkomm]

Ahhh yes! And yeah we’ve tried bht I feel like he just gets a little overtired

[@Sammiejammie521]

I have a five month old and she has started to consistently roll on her tummy at night. I let her stay there. We also have the Newton mattress. It’s just about impossible to keep her on her back unless we stay up all night

[@hannah-rayneplummer277]

So yes! If he is able to roll over and hold his head up then stomach sleeping is just fine! Just make sure he isn't swaddled to where his arms aren't out. He needs free arms to be able to lift his head and get his face out of the mattress. Other than that stomach sleeping? A-okay! Especially if it keeps him asleep and take longer naps!

[@laurynwillkomm]

Awesome thank you!!!

[@tansauder]

Found your channel through your nesting videos & I’m so happy I did ❤ recently also had a little boy (6 months old) and your videos are so relatable & motivating yet also calming at the same time. Love your content so so much!

[@laurynwillkomm]

Awwww! I’m so glad to hear this. Thank you!

[@shonamarie1116]

You guys are such a beautiful family!

[@laurynwillkomm]

Thank you!!🩷

[@CutThroatCutie21]

I have always heard that once they can roll over, it's ok for them to sleep on their tummies. But always start them off on their back and it's ok if they roll over.

[@laurynwillkomm]

Yes?!!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Morning Lauryn happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@laurynwillkomm]

Good morning!

[@elviraalemanvieyra4546]

awww zeke is so adoorable and im excited for him to start walking. i love your vlogs there always so entertaining. hopefully your doing good.

[@laurynwillkomm]

Awwww thank you

[@shalesepink]

Hey! Our babies are days apart and hes a boy too!! My son has been sleeping on his belly since month 4 he’s comfortable. I only allow this because he can roll from back to tummy and tummy to back without any worries. I have the Nanit breathing band which puts my mind at ease monitoring him. I believe there is a 5 month leap that they’re going through and i noticed Zeke has been trying to put him feet in his mouth ;) Once he accomplishes all his little milestones sleep should resume back to normal ❤

[@laurynwillkomm]

Hahha yes he’s been chewing on his toes for a couple months now!!

[@QuiteQuietASMR]

My daughter is turning 3 months old tomorrow and I remember watching your vlog when yours was around this age, and you found him scooting himself way over on the playmat from where you had put him, and my daughter did that for the first time today and I thought of you!! So it’s nice seeing the milestones play out about two months ahead with you, so that I can see someone else’s journey and know somewhat what I can expect! Love your content, girl! -Nicole

[@laurynwillkomm]

Awwww I love that!!!

[@anne-michelledeguzman4059]

Thank you for sharing your first time motherhood journey! I’m also a first time mom to a 3 month baby boy, Caleb. We both enjoy watching you and Zeke! God bless you and your family always! ❤ Sending love from NY! Where did you get your “Zeke” necklace? 😊

[@laurynwillkomm]

Awwww thank you! And Etsy! the shop Caitlyn minimalist!

[@tiffanystrattan]

Hi Lauryn, I started watching your channel since I gave a birth to my son in April. Your content is very motivational. Thank you for showing your struggle and being REAL. Could you please tell me where you got his brown and white checkered zipper clothes? I love it so much and I wanna get it for my son! Sorry if you mentioned it in your video. I went through your videos but I couldn’t find out ;(

[@laurynwillkomm]

Hahahaha omg

[@mariahferraiolo6457]

How long do you let him fuss/ cry before you go on to give him the binky again??! I’ve been trying to sleep train my 5 month old and he just screams until I end up picking him up or sometimes I can pat him. It’s been very stressful and hard lol so any opinions help :))

[@vitakolb]

he’s probably just a stomach sleeper!! my baby has been sleeping on his tummy since he was 5/6 months old and i just let him be since he was sleeping better that way anyways!! haha

[@laurynwillkomm]

Yes!!!

[@elizabethoest]

You should let them sleep when they do that. They are okay as long as you lay them flat on back. That means they know how to move on their own. My son is a belly sleeper we also have Newton.

[@laurynwillkomm]

Yessss okay

[@danielav114]

Are you liking your baby monitor? I have the same one but haven’t used it yet. Starting to transition my baby to the crib as well.

[@laurynwillkomm]

Yes!!!

[@ilovetelevision24]

😮 aww lauren.

You can let him sleep on his tummy as long as he does it himself 🥰

Yay!

Take it from me let him learn to take naps on his own (he's an amazing 10-12hr stretch at night) but naps on me! We are STRUGGLING helping him take naps alone during the day at 7mo

[@laurynwillkomm]

Yessss. You got it!

[@kendalwelter5068]

Hi lauryn!!❤❤

[@laurynwillkomm]

Hiiiiii

[@QuiteQuietASMR]

In terms of him rolling over, I’ve heard you should leave them because if they’re strong enough to roll one way, they’re strong enough to roll back on their own.

[@laurynwillkomm]

Got it!!!

[@kaaayl11]

Have you ever looked into a weighted sleep sack? I heard great things about Dreamland Baby but theyre so expensive! I’m so excited for my baby baby to be that old!

[@laurynwillkomm]

Yes! But we prefer the kyte baby :)

[@Disneyfam22]

Link to that carseat toy please!!

[@laurynwillkomm]

Which?? :)

[@monicaandraderandom]

I’m so paranoid to left my son sleep on his own now after last week

He might need a little bit more awake time, my bub is the same age try extra 15 minutes if it’s 2 hours

My baby is 7 months and she rolls over on her tummy in her sleep all the time I just leave her and let her sleep. I have the sealy mattress for the crib and she’s been doing great I don’t move her I just put my head in the crib and listen to her breathe also don’t have a baby monitor that hooks up to Wi-Fi!! Those are the ones people can hack and talk to your child it’s creepy

[@laurynwillkomm]

Ahhh yeah. We don’t use it anymore

[@HannahRing-i3q]
