OUR DAILY ROUTINE WITH A TODDLER 💕

[@hayleej272]

You and Alex are such beautiful parents, Bowie is so lucky!! Watching your vlogs makes me so excited to have kids of my own one day ☺️🥰

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

aww you’re the sweetest 🤍

[@chloemcdonald9487]

Bowie is so gorgeous Ellie! Alex doesn't say much, but from the few shots of him with Bowie you can just see how much he loves him! So cute, cant wait to have my own Bowie one day, my husband wants to wait five years but I don't think I can!

[@elliemaree1995]

I love when you’re going through the specs of the camera and when you’re pointing around and talking about it Bowie is looking and pointing with you 😂 such a beautiful family ❤️

[@snapshot1386]

As so many have already said, you both have a lovely parenting style. I love seeing Bowie still being nursed at his age. It’s a great health benefit to mommy and baby. It can be difficult in the beginning for some women, but once breastfeeding becomes second hand it really make life wonderful and truly helps bond mommy and baby for a lifetime. Also, love how you listen and react to Bowie so naturally. Too much information is thrown to new moms about a child’s behavior which is enough to make anyone’s head spin. You both seem to be really in touch with Bowie’s cues to understand his needs and always with love which is the secret to guiding and disciplining a growing child. Quite inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

Bowie is growing up so much, such a productive and lovely routine to watch :)

I love how honest your video is. You guys are great parents and have a wonderful kid. I just had a rollercoaster day with meals with my one year old and your video made me feel better

[@ileanaradkowski8720]

Nice to see one influencer that cares for safe sleeping practices❤️

I love his hair, his Lil baby curls are the cutest thing ♥️♥️♥️

[@wots4dinner]

Hahahahaha, How funny is Oatie running from the bug. 🤣 My cavoodle is scared of flies, he runs and hides under the bed

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

she’s such a spook! gets up from napping scattering around the house randomly all the time 😂😂

[@felanifela3905]

I'm gonna be a mother soon. And Your vlog is very inspiring. Thank you Ellie

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

aw congrats!!

[@rebeccahamblin5328]

We love Cubo. You can get Cubo with a tall floor stand that holds Cubo above the cot and also a cot attachment that attaches directly to the cot if you don’t want to mount to a wall.

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

ohh yes my sis in law has that set up! she’s who told me about cubo too! 😍

[@katrinatotman5445]

[@sophiehowardharcourtstande5527]

Love these kind of videos! Do you mind please sharing where Bowie’s sleep sack is from? 🙃

[@simonelavis1715]

Love the jars you use for food storage - would love to know which brand you use as I have found so many that don’t seal as tight as yours seems to. Also love the vid. So fun to watch your family evolve

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

they’re mostly from ikea actually! (glass with bamboo lid) is that which ones you mean?

[@simonelavis1715]

@@ElsasWholesomeLife yes those ones!! They’re so cute 🥰

[@Joanhunte7752]

Love your vblogs & your Beautiful little family.. Can't believe how Bowie is growing up so quickly & so adorable & cute with it too..🥰❤

[@yenlim4205]

We have the Cubo and can confirm it’s the best!

[@montanawatt4855]

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

i’m in the M/L 🙃

[@LydiaLomelin]

where is the shirt from?

[@mikat2782]

You got so much done before 9 am! 🤩

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

those 5am wake ups pay off 😂😛

[@megganweinell4838]

Love this video! Thanks for sharing- I’d like to know more about how you transitioned him to sleeping through the night by dad co-sleeping. I feel like this may be able to work for my 9-month old son but never heard of it before!

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

So after his 1st birthday the plan was to cut out that midnight feed… instead of me getting up in the night and feeding him back to sleep, my husband would go in and take him into our spare bed and cuddle him back to sleep for the night. it wasn’t as rough as we thought it would be! literally after 3 nights he was sleeping through until 5am. Still the occasional rough night if he’s teething or sick, but otherwise he sleeps 6:30pm till 5:30am. i think once he broke the habit of waking for a feed he stopped waking up at all 🤷🏼‍♀️ we thought it would be really hard but it wasn’t too bad at all in our experience.

[@megganweinell4838]

Thank you! That makes sense, I think my little man is just in the habit! I don’t plan to stop the night feed yet but it’s great to hear there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for sleep! Especially in this way where he’s not alone crying! I really appreciate the reply!!

[@sineadosullivan7597]

you are both amazing parents xx

[@annagromadkiewicz2831]

Could we have updated daily routine with a toddler? 🥰

[@amandaheckeler9434]

Where you get sheets & bedspread from?

[@cally4217]

I love linen! :)

[@amandaheckeler9434]

@@cally4217 me too@ hopeful we'll find out where sheets are from.

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

the brand is actually called i love linen 🌿

[@officialhaleymccoy]

Would you be able to link Bowie’s toys? Love this video!

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

which ones? 😊

[@sarahh9360]

I'm always so surprised when seeing australian cots. In Germany there are usually paddings to tie around the walls so the baby can't hit their head or so it's more cozy in generall. But I think thats a cultural difference depending on the country :D

[@RiverRat679]

In the US - I believe they banned all bumpers (the paddings) to put in the cribs! They stress to us absolutely nothing should be in the crib with them. Crazy, right?!

[@sarahh9360]

@@RiverRat679 yeah! I understand that its for safety reasons so the babies don't suffocate. However, paddings seem to me like padded baskets in a pram. But different countries different rules! :)

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

yeah the only cot bumpers we have don’t really do much at all! we tried them but he just played with them and distracted him. he’s had his fair share of head bumps too 🥺

[@nadinefranklin9175]

That knife is epic. Love it

[@שקדזהבי]

love you and your vlogs so much

[@evir440]

Does he have other lunch or the snacks platter was lunch? I didnt quite get what he eats for lunch and was curious to see! He is so cute!! My boy is only 1 month older Xx

[@evir440]

Also, do you guys brush his teeth? We know we should be we are not very regular at this yet...

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

yeah usually there’s one of our tooth brushes in the shower and he plays with it in his mouth. We haven’t fully set up a good teeth brushing routine with his own brush and paste yet, need to work on it haha.

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

yeah generally the snack plate for lunch. he kinda has 2 small breakfasts and morning tea before his nap so we try not to overfill him after his nap because he was having another BF and then wasn’t hungry for dinner 😊

[@samanthac450]

Are you no longer vegan/plant based?

[@phoebesmith3746]

Watching you change Bowie is like me watching myself change my 12 month old. Clearly they are all plotting against us 😂

[@andreapatterson511]

Did you guys do sleep training?

[@ElsasWholesomeLife]

yes! we followed guidance from the sleep teacher. we opted for a gentle and slow approach. it made such a difference for us and bowies sleep 🙏🏼
