I was looking to support some small business and get a bengkung belly band I just ordered one from you a day ago and now your back on my feed :) I also saw another video of your a few days back and loved the content. Just a happy coincidence I suppose :) Thanks for sharing your experience so others can benefit from It 💕

I needed to hear this today. I have my second son, 4 weeks old, sleeping on my chest right now as I watch this. I'm tired and want my bed and want to be able to sleep in any position I want again but watching this has reminded me this phase passes all too quickly and right now, he needs me. More than he will for the rest of his life. So with renewed energy, I'll gladly let him sleep on my chest and take all his snuggles! Thank you

[@WillowWisteria]

Oh yes... it goes so fast. Enjoy that little one, Jessica....These are such fleeting precious moments. Thanks for your kinds comment :)

[@johs.5758]

It's really my situation now. omggg sooo same

[@gbs3683]

Oh my goodness. This needs to be the video you watch before you’re even released from medical care after birth oh my gosh my heart 😩

[@carolinemarshall8419]

ABSOLUTELY!!! AMEN!!!

[@honeybdream]

So many new moms need to hear this❣️

[@evitaevita98]

I love hearing, "you can't spoil a newborn." My mother-in-law gives me a hard time when she sees me carrying my newborn because she says she will get used to being held. Granted, my newborn is only 2 weeks. This is my third child and my mother-in-law has been saying this since my first baby 🙄

[@ZimyIX]

No, I'm not crying!!! Why do you ask?? 😢😢😢

[@maxweichert5798]

Dear Jennifer, Im on my husbands account but want to let you know how happy I am to have found you. I was looking for someone to confirm what is in my heart. Im pregnant of my first child and hearing you, all puzzle pieces are falling into place and Im so much more looking foward to birth and being a mother, knowing that its ok to co sleep and carry the baby on my skin. im now moving into motherhood with trust and anticipation, knowing all will be fine when I follow my intuition and the tools you are giving. Thank you, the work you do is very important

[@OliveOanx]

Amazing message! Right what I needed to hear! My 10 week old is sleeping on me in the wrap now. It's so upsetting to read and hear people telling you what to do to get your newborn to sleep in a crib aka cry it out!Instinct is all us mamas need! Thank you!

[@victoriafernandezbermejo2866]

I cannot tell you how much I needed to hear this. My first baby boy is 20days today and I can tell I’ve already been so hard on him. I was expecting him to be an Instagram Baby (cute and calm) and we are in the middle of a cluster feeding so he just cries and breastfeed. Thank you for this video. Love Vicky

[@sarahsharp90]

My son is two months old and we have been cosleeping since a couple weeks in. I’ve been wearing my baby every day since I could manage after my c section. People have told me that I need to let him cry, not to “spoil” him. Watching this made me feel so assured that my instincts as Bear’s momma are more important than any word from someone who didn’t spend nine months with him. Thank you for this.

[@camillie1008]

Thank you so much for your gentle and loving encouragement. It's no coincidence that I found your channel days before I'm due to give birth to my first child at home. I've been going back in forth in regards to co-sleeping (though we do have a crib in the room) because my family maintains that I'll never get any sleep that way having baby in the bed. However, my instincts bring me back to his experience and what he's going to go through as soon as he's out of my womb...the only home he's ever known. I don't see how you can spoil anyone especially a baby with constant love. Thank you thank you, pura vida from Costa Rica!

[@WillowWisteria]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Camillie. Having co-slept with all 5 of my littles, I humbly and respectfully have to disagree with your family - co-sleeping was the only way that I was able to get sleep, and a full night's sleep at that! I'm sure it's different for every mama and every baby but, like you and I both noted, listening to your instincts and heart will always steer you in the right direction :) You'll know and feel what's right for you both (and try not to let external influences steer you in any other direction). Wishing you a magical birth experience and a peaceful and loving postpartum time with you little one! I'm so excited for you!

[@lucianabontas1329]

Thank you for this information. I am having my baby in the next days and I loved everything you said! 🤗😘 Just as a small feedback : please tone down the back music a little bit. It is almost as lowd as you speaking or maybe even a little louder as you and it distracts a little 😊.

[@katarinatavaresp]

It was all I needed to hear! Thank you for those words! I’m a new mom of a 5 week old baby and was seriously considering co-sleeping. Now I have decided it is the right thing cause whenever I do it just feels right. Thank you for sharing ! ❤️

[@WillowWisteria]

Aw... your message made my day. Listen to your instincts, mama. Listen to your heart. Keep that baby close to you and I hope you enjoy co-sleeping as much as I do. Check out my co-sleeping video as well, if you haven't already. Hope you and your new baby are doing well. Sending love to you both

[@katarinatavaresp]

Jennifer's Magic Boots I certainly watched all your videos about co-sleeping and am just waiting for the bed gate to arrive. In the meantime daddy has been kicked out of the room! 😂 Tonight was the first night co-sleeping and even though I still can’t find the position to feed lying down (I use a nipple shield and baby doesn’t get my nipple anymore, I’m trying all I can to correct that, but it’s hard), it has been a great night! Much easier to go back to sleep so we both get more sleep! Anyway, I just wanted to thank you again! I was feeling so tired I forgot this phase will soon be over and I’ll miss it terribly! Thank you for this amazing video and for reminding us to follow our instincts!

[@WillowWisteria]

I'm so glad to hear it! You should message my via my shop on Etsy www.etsy.com/shop/TheArtOfWellness - I'd love to help you get to a place where you can nurse laying down without the nipple shield. If you feel like reaching out, I'm here to help as I've had lots of experience weaning from nipple shields and teaching to nurse laying down :)

[@tinachappelle3232]

PS-Sorry my comment was all over the place, I’m feeding him and trying to write at the same time. Also, you’re beautiful! Definitely subscribing, I enjoy your content! It’s so nice to see a real Mom on KZbin these days & not one to sugarcoat everything

[@liz6595]

He's just like "I wanna sleep with you mom!" ❤️ Honestly I've always wanted to sleep with the baby even tho I know it's not always the safest option

[@stellashepherd844]

Thank you, Jennifer. I love listening to you. You have a very soothing voice, and although I like your background music it can overpower you and make it difficult to focus on you. Just a thought. :)

[@WillowWisteria]

Thank you, Wendy. I've been limiting the music lately, for that reason. Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@stellashepherd844]

Jennifer's Magic Boots 😊

[@oriallaflower]

So on board with this mentality

[@gitacurniffe3379]

This is Beautiful and Brilliant, so wholeheartedly agree, love this video so much.. 😍😘🥰

[@positivevibes4930]

How long did you keep your baby away from bright lights and transition them?

[@bunnarellis]

Thank you willow!! I'm so grateful for this video I'm 36 weeks with my first and so looking forwards to this birth and rebirth for our new family. Yes I do have strong instincts on how or what to do, but sometimes when I'm just tired and I've communicated with ppl around I feel exhausted. you are so reassuring for me right now thank you from all areas of my heart ❤️✨

[@tinachappelle3232]

I really enjoy this video. I just had my second child in Sept. I need the affirmation that I know what I’m doing, even though it’s been extremely tough this time bc he hates sleep (haha!) compared to my daughter. Like you said, I’m trusting my instincts. He will only sleep on my chest at the moment, & I’ve co-slept with both my children. Im exhausted but we’re hopeful getting a routine going, bc I’m tired & exhausted but I loved your video

[@WillowWisteria]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Tina! I empathize with you and just keep reminding yourself that this time, though so hard now, will pass quickly. Life will get easier and you'll get rested again! Congrats on your new little one! I'm looking at my now 7 month old and wondering where the time went... they just grow so fast. Hang in there, friend, and just trust your incredible mama instincts... and try to enjoy this time with him. Wishing you and your new little one lots of rest! Thanks for subscribing and taking the time to comment :)

[@pocamoana1813]

Love this! Thank you!

[@cherrieguy4504]

beautiful advice

[@MsLatintinge]

Lovely video thank you. Only thing for me, I found it hard to concentrate on what you were saying over the music. The music was lovely though.
