I’m not a mama yet.. not planning any time soon just yet -but I love watching your videos so much. Positivity is flowing and the realness.. your family is gorgeous and I love how the little boys LOVE on their baby sisters . Love love love this channel x

[@susanschroeder9553]

You continue to amaze me. I love your videos and how humble you are. The twins are precious and you are rocking it being a new mom of twins. Please remember to rest. You aren’t healed as of yet as I’m sure you know. Just take care of yourself love. ❤️❤️❤️

[@juliesuddes4478]

What a lovely thing to do Lucy doing give aways with the things when you are finished using them x

[@nadiaouaaziz3010]

I’m now 39+2! I’ve been watching your videos for so long now, so helpful and so interesting to watch 💜

[@sarahdean7651]

Your absolutely smashing being a mum of 4, you look incredible hope your feeling well physically and mentally. Motherhood was made for you, such a natural, you make it look so easy you seem so calm and relaxed 💗💗

[@ang.ali111]

I love your videos! I just feel like you and your family are so down to earth and just real. Absolutely love watching your channel so refreshing 🥰

[@hollytweddell788]

Having my first baby boy in may, love all the must haves you use and love watching all your videos!👶🏻❤ you are an amazing mum. 💫

[@emmaclairehughes9467]

You are so calm Lucy. How do you do it! Absolutely incredible you are so made for motherhood. ❤️❤️

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Emma Hughes thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@rosestreamer8235]

The first time I've heard an influencer mention that sleep positioners like Sleepyheads are not recommended for use, to add; at all by the NHS, FDA or The Lullaby Trust. Thank you for responsibly mentioning this. As a medical professional (and being 28 weeks pregnant) it is terrifying to see so many of these advertised in 'baby must haves' with no mention of the increased potential risk in using these products.

[@jennynewman4357]

OMG, you are amazing. I just have to say how brilliant this video is, I love the way you explain everything and make it all seem fun and exciting and totally doable. Even if you only had the girls it would be amazing,but to also have the two boys and work going on in the bathroom, huge pat on the back Lucy. Well done x

[@normabead.9600]

Nice to see you paying forward! The girls are absolutely gorgeous!

[@misrobinson1522]

So precious😭😍🥰 Your whole family is so pure and lovely! Love you all❤️

[@sarahnewtonparkes3254]

My baby days are over but I wish I had someone like you who is so informative and easy to listen to think you are amazing xxx

[@roxannemilford418]

Your back pain could be from your epidural. Mine started a week after leaving the hospital. It's horrid and lasted a year. I didn't know that back when I had my baby. Hope you get it sorted love

[@milknosugar1]

Yessss. As someone feeling overwhelmed by what to buy in the next year or so, this is super helpful haha. 😘

[@IGOTBABIESSS]

I just found out that I’m expecting twins July 2020 and your videos have helped me plan for their arrival. Everything you have, I have put on my registries. I absolutely love you and your beautiful family.

[@chloej8501]

So lovely to see you all doing so well ☺️ Amazon have some “girly” mam dummies, pink giraffe/zebra but boots also do some with bunnies on! ❤️❤️

[@rojdaozel8783]

Lucy you are such a beautiful, caring down to earth person that is such a kind thing to do you are amazing ❤️

[@teeteeiren9748]

Thanks so much for the product reviews Lucy💕 My "first" grandchild is due in a month, so it really comes in handy!!!

[@BrascoFamilyOfFourxoxo]

How beautiful are those prints on the sleepyhead.!! Loving all your new born videos thank you so much for sharing Im 36 weeks with my baby girl and cannot wait!!! Xx

[@mayanugget9732]

Wishing you the best in your motherhood journey! I just had my little one a few months ago! More power to you to have two at once!!! We have the 4moms too, she really likes it.

[@lucyjohnson2451]

I'd love a 4moms just cant bring myself to pay that much for one x the twins are stunning cant wIt for my boy to be born thursday Thankyou for helping the nicu my 2nd was a 27 weeker and we spent 13 weeks there we still do fundraisers n buy preemie clothes n nappies for them when we can

[@susanschroeder9553]

I still can’t believe they are here. 😍😍😍

[@EmmaMcDAesthetics]

I have the bouncer...my little girl loved it so much! I also love the carrier too. Such simple designs x

[@karenmcnaught921]

we are due our third baby in august and I have known that I would like a mamaroo for ages but hummed about it but you have just sealed the deal on me getting one and also the MAM bottles too, so thank you! your family is just beautiful x

[@deborahclarke6415]

Gorgeous they have changed so much there too cute 😍😍

[@nicoleevenolan]

Wow the lie flat feature on the car seat is amazing! i wish my maxi cosy one did that! x

[@mariac3701]

Hi Lucy I’ve just came across your channel and now I’m obsessed 😍 congrats on your twins xx

[@carolaustin6374]

Lovely, informative video Lucy! Baby girls look great; very thoughtful of you to be doing giveaways of your baby items in the future.

[@kimredpath2631]

I totally love watching ur videos Lucy 💕💕

[@boakyesimona4705]

thank you so much lucy ❤️ we're expecting twins and to me everything is new (its my 2nd pregnancy), thank you for helping us getting what we need! ;)

[@leannemcmahon1981]

i love the MAM bottles and dummies❤️ my daughter is 8 months old and she has uses them since birth.. love the fact they come with lovely design patterns! I have all pink.. if you want try your local Boots..Asda.. or supermarkets that where i get mine normally retails for £5 a dummy

[@nadiahussain3123]

This was usefull I just had a baby I will check out few things hope twins are well and you your looking fantastic for mum of 4 your doing really well xxxx

[@kirstyphillips9817]

You look so well and happy x

[@heathers2016]

You look beautiful!! Congrats on your new babes 🌟

[@CyRaXo]

This is a great video!!!! I’m 30 weeks with my first. So helpful!

[@BeautyStyles]

The twins are so adorable x

[@kirstyallan7779]

I would maybe recommend turning the mama roo off when baby is actually asleep because you may find they get too used to it and need motion all the time xx

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Kirsty Allan I did consider that but they are absolutely fine at night with no motion. So all good at the moment :) xxx

[@sharondussault7827]

You are the sweetest!! 😊🌸😊🌸 your boys are adorable 😊💙😊💙 the girls are beautiful 😊💗😊💗

[@lauratreslove]

This is such a thoughtful thing to do. My little girl also spent some time on the Dyson suite at the RUH 4 years ago & we donate to the Forever Friends Foundation every year instead of sending Christmas cards once we heard that the average cost of a bed in there costs the NHS over £2000 per day! xx

[@sophiaharper723]

I agree with the MAM bottles. My youngest is 1 month old and he loves the bottles and the pacifier as well. I like how the bottles can be self sterilised

[@zoe2562]

Lucy - I would love to donate money to your local NICU. I have seen first hand how much work the nurses and doctors do whilst they looked after my nephew and how much they look after all the babies. If you do decide for example to do a gofundme page I will 100%donate. Well done darling (also if the breast pump goes up for a bidding or something I'd bid on it for my sister) You're amazing🌹

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Zoë thank you SO much. How kind of you, I am really touched! I’m sharing all details via IG ❤️❤️❤️

[@kirsty329]

Aww i don't have instagram. Are people on KZbin not part of it?xx

[@GirlyHauls]

Omg you are beautiful 😍😍😍😍 thanks for these videos!!! Super helpful!!!

[@lindseyhall893]

Like the volg also like the items you got Lucy

[@tabiiebond7192]

I loved this video so much 💜 xx

[@dannifulker7494]

Love your videos Lucy & family 😊 you look so well Lucy x

[@joannewilloughby7428]

My granddaughter is a year old now but she absolutely LOVED her Mamaroo

[@jessicanewham8773]

The twins don't like identical at all! I can tell the difference between them both so easily! They are both sooo cute 😍x

[@riri270394]

I've just purchased that feeding pillow!! Looks perfect 😍

[@lisahart5448]

So lovely of you to give away to a new mum. My daughter is having 5th child, so me nanny is having another grandaughter. Your a lovely mummy. And I think it's lovely of you giving money back nico they do amazing job, and sometimes there job can be so hard and emotional. You have a lovely family Lucy. ❤

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Lisa Hart thank you Lisa ❤️❤️

[@carlismith71]

OMG rosabella I see Jessie when she was on the floor there x

[@kristinfagan4694]

Have just found your channel since you birth video and I’ve been binge watching 💕💕 I’m 5months and I’ve found your channel so informative and relatable.

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Kristin Fagan thank you so much ❤️❤️

[@finnaver5724]

That's so thoughtful of you 🥰

[@cookingcorner5263]

Nice to see you again 🌹💖 you look amazing 👍🏻

[@DanyelRayeJaynesGuti]

We found out we’re having twins as well! My anxiety has been through the roof bc we prepared for one and now everything has doubled. Daycare is going $1400 for both plus having to buy everything else. We are both very happy and grateful but cannot help but the be overwhelmed!

[@sallycinn97]

We had our girls 1 day apart! My second daughter (called a Winter Rae) was born on 21st so the day after! I totally agree on the sleepyhead, mam bottles, the car seats and the steriliser!! I use a medela breast pump because Elvie are a little out of my price range but they look amazing! Love this and feel like I’m following the journey with you completely having had our girls days apart and it being my 4th as well as your 3rd and 4th!! Xx

[@user-tk5rc5dk9l]

Couldn’t image the twins without there rose sleepyhead !! Beautiful girls 😍❤️🥰 Always a fan of your family

[@georgialund5860]

Your girls are beautiful congratulations and I love all of your videos x

[@mamamcindoe8402]

My son was in nicu in Salisbury glad you are supporting them.

[@ikelseyxx4341]

😍😍 love ya vids x 💕

[@caledoniabeautifuleden8584]

I used the MAM orthodontic dummies/ soothers for my daughter, who had her dummies much longer than the recommended time, they are fantastic as they make an 18-36 months soother that is flat and prevents damage to teeth. My daughters dentist said he wouldn’t have realised she had a dummy if I hadn’t been concerned and asked him. I am so glad that I chose those! I initially bought the MAM soothers because the tiny/ newborn size was much better for my tiny baby girl who weighed less than India when we brought her home. She didn’t take to any other brands.

[@kezzakinz6914]

Im due april love this very helpful

[@emmafrederique1777]

❤️ the cybex carseat, we have one and also the rotating base (just want to mention that I love the bouncer, we have the same, but the carriers of babybjorn are not ergonomic unfortunately)

[@KerryMConway]

The Elvie pump is amazing isn't it! I did the review with Channel Mum when Roma was a baby and loved it! I should start using it again for her sippy cups as she doesn't like cows milk haha!

[@midnightdreamer7640]

I’m early 😩 hope you are doing well!! Your girls are gorgeous.. 😍😍

[@jo-d2208]

Congrats to you both on your beautiful daughters. You can pick up the mam dummies in asda if you are still looking.

[@vickmi]

Hi Lucy, I’m new to your channel and I absolutely love watching your videos. Congratulations on your twin girls, they are gorgeous. On the official MAM website they have different colour dummies including pink ones. Lots of love ❤️

[@olivialarcombe6705]

The Elvie pump looks so good! Want one due my 2nd little girl April 1st🥰

[@Him.Me.Q.and.P]

I want one too lol!! My third is due either late July or early August (all being well, it's early days), I always struggle to maintain my supply so I've been told it would help to pump as well as feed. I absolutely cannot afford the £450 price tag for it though!! Ouch!

[@gemmabuckingham8011]

I have a 3 week old Grayson and it is my first time having the mamaroo after 4 other children I have used joie x

[@carlismith71]

Lois’s paediatrician and consultants recommended we use dummy when she was poorly in hospital and it was also the MAM ones as she was tiny and they were the only ones she would use!! My son wouldn’t take a dummy due to he’s colic and reflux but Lo loved them x

[@rebeccaproud1884]

I get my baby’s mam dummies from Asda and boots x

[@katestarling6285]

Good for you. Some of the other old channel mum bloggers take note!

[@jakeandlucy1101]

Hi Lucy! I have just found out my mother-in-law is going to surprise us with the mummaroo4. After watching your video I’m so excited 😆

[@Musicbomb29]

For whatever reason our son did not like the mamaroo but he loved the traditional swing that would go side to side.

[@abidyke]

They’re so cute 🥰

[@Pisceseyes_24]

that zoom is a great pram I had it when my twins were babies they're 9 yrs now

[@bobbythomas30]

Glad you and your girls are doing so well Lucy. Looking forward to the breast pump review!

[@HelenGraceC]

We’ve gone with the Snuzpod too, seem like a great middle ground! Baby due in a couple of weeks so hope to do a video like this, so helpful!! 💗💗xxx

[@AwkwardlyDbeauty]

The girls are so precious Lucy 💓💓💓

[@Justine-uj5gj]

I picked up mam dummies in baby pink and another set in grey from asda last year ❤

[@teeteeiren9748]

By the way Lucy, You look AMAZING 😚💞💞😄

[@TheLucyo100]

We have something similar to ur sleepy head in America called the dock-a-tot. Our AAP don't recommend using a sleep positioner at all for sleeping or napping. The worry is the baby can roll and suffocate on the sides. Best place for a baby to sleep is a crib (free of bumper pads, pillows and any loose bedding), a bassinet or a portable play yard. :)

[@wendylock9071]

Really lovely video, can't believe how well your looking after having the beautiful girls xxxxxxx love always xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxx x

[@ourclarkclan]

Our LB didn't take to the mamaroo at all. Found it loud ish too.. We sold ours after a month or so. But glad it worked for you as they do look great x

[@oliviablantern2428]

We get our girly mam dummies from asda!! £5 for a pack of 2 and we’ve got a few pink ones and some yellow ones too 😊

[@Carlyjadeocean]

The elvie breast pump looks amazing! And love the snuz pods!! Can’t wait to get one 🥰

[@chantefraser2718]

Definitely need the mamaroos! So many twin mamas 😍 I’m currently pregnant with Twins due in July!

[@destininewby8837]

Never heard of the snuz pod. Pretty cool

[@emilyanne5219]

Loved this Lucy, very informative and honest! I have 10 weeks to go until my baby arrives and 16 weeks until my wedding 🙈 The Elvie pump looks amazing - just not sure I can justify the cost. Having a baby costs a small fortune doesn’t it! You are so lucky to be kindly gifted some of the items ♥️

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Emily Anne I totally understand. I am very lucky! Which is why I want to give back and give it all away & raise some money for nicu whilst I can. I’ll also be giving away my elvie pumps (cleaned & sterilised obviously) so 3 in total! ❤️❤️❤️

[@emilyanne5219]

Lucy Jessica Carter will keep a look out for the fundraising for nicu, so pleased your girls are doing ok now 👍🏻 xx

[@blondebbygalgal22]

Asda had loads of the dummies in different colours I got a pack at the weekend of two one is pink and one is white. They was on an offer also I think they was two packs for £8 (4 dummies)

[@sallyconnolly7874]

My sisters baby girl had a sleepy head which she was always supervised in ( recently due to the regulation changes) when she posted a photo on fb of baby in sleepy head there was so much critisiscm! It was sad all anyone wanted to do was criticise her! Baby is now nearly 1 and very well! My oh and I are at the talking about babies stage at the moment and I'm loving these reviews! :) congratulations Lucy and Jordan! I'm a long time follower I love your channel and elles channel. Jenson and Jesse are adorable and now you are blessed with 2 beautiful girls. I wish you all the luck and happiness in the world xxx

[@georgiaroselane1788]

You’re making me want a third 🙈❤️ xx

[@wendyrichardson3668]

what a lovely thing to due xx

[@ourclarkclan]

Oh and the steriliser, you can stick all of the mam bottles in the microwave without a steriliser (set up in the sterilising position with the water in the base) for 3 mins! I'm sure you know that but just making sure.. Saves waiting 15 mins x

[@sebmonster1842]

When my minnie was in the NICU they actually gave her a dummy as it can promote healthy breathing. And as stated by the lullaby trust it actually reduces the chance of SIDS

[@nataliesmith2458]

Ooo I didn’t know that, tfs 🌼

[@samanthaoflanagan9811]

Did you know the mam bottles are self sterilising? You unscrew the bottom, put the right amount of water in, put the teat in, tie the bottom back to the bottle and put the cap over the top. Then put it in the microwave for I think it's 3 minutes! Dead handy if you're out or away

[@leannefoster8544]

I agree Lucy I don't know why dummies are so controversial, each to their own, every parent has the right to decide what's best for their own child. My eldest never took to a dummy either but my younger two both had MAM dummies and I used to get lots of girly colours in Mothercare xx

[@clairberkon4834]

I remember hiding my Daughter's dummy when our health visitor was due! She said oh dont be silly, we actually recommend them etc. I was relieved 😁

[@lemity_don7585]

Boots have an offer on at the moment 2 packs for £8 mam dummies. There was pink ones in my local store. Xx

[@camillacioffi6644]

I’m new to your channel and absolutely love your videos. Would you be doing a Q and A video

[@daniellem3271]

Not sure why dummies are controversial either. We weaned our daughter when she was 5 months because we had to replace it 8+ times a night from 3 months. We got the maam ones in nice colours in Asda and Boots x
