A tip for shifts- you have the right idea for baby #2! We have found it works really well for me to get up with the babies to breastfeed and let my husband sleep.. because him being well rested makes him so helpful during the day. I got to nap while baby napped, he would make me food, do things around the house, and then help with our older boy when we had baby #2. Then he would do some skin to skin for bonding. I know many people feel like the night time shifts should be shared, but this worked out really well for us!

[@JessConte]

really glad to hear that!! 💛

[@amarahsrabbitry1073]

💯

[@jessicaa.m.harper1727]

Completely agree! And if there are couples who share night time duty and it works, that's great, but at most I'll ask my husband to do a middle of the night diaper change. He's still getting plenty of uninterrupted hours, especially since we go to bed earlier now.

[@nicolemartel8661]

Same for us! The first few weeks he would get up to help me since I was still figuring stuff out and was healing from a tear and all that, but once I got the hang of it he would sleep through the night. Then in the morning he would take her after I fed her for a few hours so I could sleep, come back for me to feed her then take her again. So we both got a good amount of rest!

[@caitlingaweda2153]

from watching you a few years ago to now I love how much more comfortable and confident you are in front of the camera! It makes it feel like a big sister chat! hope everything goes smoothly this birth!!

[@JessConte]

awww I appreciate that!!! 🥲

[@jaimseygirl2594]

26 year old mom of 3 here 👋 my biggest tip for doing feeding shifts is to either have hubby take baby for first shift of the night, immediately following a feed (usually around 8-9pm) and go to bed early for a couple/few hours, he can stay up with baby until 10/11 and then bring baby to you. Alternately, if you prefer to sleep in he can take baby immediately after a feed early in the morning, around 5/6 and you can sleep in a couple more hours! This makes it so you get a few good quality hours of sleep every night but you don’t have to pump! And he gets to sleep through the night while you handle feeds. That’s what has worked for us! Best of luck 🫶❤

[@JessConte]

oh I like this!!! thank you!!

[@leahanne7288]

This is exactly what my husband does for my exclusively BF baby and it works great for us!! ❤ i also put a sound machine on in case she cries so i don’t startle awake

[@Sama-yd4cl]

This is so helpful thank you!!

[@o0olivelovelaugho0o]

No baby here but I am curious to understand better, in the late night shift or early morning baby is not sleeping at all after the feed? Or is it helpful that the dad does it because the baby care like changing/ rocking can be long and make you feel you have no rest between feeds?

[@beamay1405]

Expecting my first baby and this is such a good idea that I will consider! Thank you for the tip!

This video is so helpful! I want to make sure I'm prepared for baby but also I'm a minimalist so I don't want tons of baby clutter. Theses are great tips!

[@Jules.andrade]

My lactation consultant gave me a tip to cut out little squares of wax paper and to put them on after applying the nipple cream. This helped to keep the cream on you instead of just absorbing in your bra. This helped so much! Good luck with everything. You got this!

GREAT TIP!!

[@daniellerosinhaskew4911]

I definitely recommend the owlet.. when pregnant I didn’t really think about it and thought it was unnecessary but our little girl ended up being born premature so I asked around and the NICU nurses told us they are quite accurate.. once we did finally get to bring baby girl home it gave me such peace of mind, and honestly the ability to sleep well between feeds knowing that if something sinister were to occur, we would be notified immediately.. used for 10months and only alarmed once when she had RSV which we ended up needing hospital for anyway..

[@osnapitzlyn]

was feeling v anxious before bed and saw your notification. thank u jess :(

[@sofiassr]

So exciting!! I remember when I was planning everything for my daughter, who's just 2 months younger than yours, and seeing you go though this again is reminding me of that time! :) I can 100% recommend a carrier: Boba bliss. Suuuuuper easy to use, and COMFORTABLE!! it's like a hybrid carrier, easy to put on and off like the more sturdy ones, but super comfy like the elastic cloth ones. Everyone I know that's used it has loved it and recommends it!

[@tarinwynia2274]

So exciting for you! I loooooved my Solly Baby Wrap. SOOO soft and once I got the hang of it, I wore it ALL the time. Dishes, church, walks, everything. It was my absolute favourite.

[@anestassia6346]

Yes, yes yes to baby wearing! I didn’t start wearing my baby till she was about a month old and I wish I had done it sooner. Like you said, I also struggled in the beginning with trying to get things done around the house and Caring For baby when her naps were so short, it wasn’t until I started wearing her, that I started to get more peace of mind and want so overwhelmed with trying to get chores done. It can be intimidating at first. I just watched a lot of videos and tried it around the house. I started out with the wrap which is great but can be a little annoying having to tie it and making sure it’s not too tight or too loose I tried the ring sling and I found those were so much easier to use in public. You can Quickly put them on and adjust while baby is in. Now that I’m pregnant with baby number two, I got a another carrier that allows me to carry my baby on the back now that the bumps in the way . My first will only be 13 months when I have my baby in August, so I’m sure I’ll be baby wearing a lot.

[@judithecarlton]

Loved watching your video, Jess! I’m so excited for you guys and look forward to your next updates and videos!!❤️

[@katialing5557]

The owlet raised my anxiety even more because of false alarms when the sock would shift in their sleep. But we also had a nicu baby so the false alarms were extra triggering for me. Totally support people who enjoyed it and want to use it, just personally didn’t have a good experience with it.

[@dirtbk11]

I have heard this but we used owlet and only ever had 1 false alarm! And I’ve always said I’d rather have false alarms than not know of a real one🥺.

I’ve had one false alarm when my son’s cold feet were raised but I’ve also had two alarms that were real and we were alerted to my son unresponsive. I understand the raise in anxiety, my son being a NICU baby too but I wouldn’t have this any other way

[@nikkichapmansixx]

I use the mobi wrap with my little one. She is 6 weeks old and I have been baby wearing since the first week. Putting her in the wrap infront of a mirror is what really helped me because I could see where to put her legs etc. Also, get Gabe to help you the first few times if you are nervous about manouvering the baby into the wrap. My husband helped me the first 4 times until I was confident enough to do it myself. I have just ordered the ergobaby omni 360, so excited to try that. Don't be intimidated by baby wearing! It really is so helpful and I love her being so close to me. You look amazing btw!! ❤

Hey Jess !♥️ I just wanted to say that you don’t have to be so hard on yourself ! You learnt with your baby while growing, you really did so well! It’s honestly so inspiring, especially because you were able to acknowledge the small things to fix for baby number 2. Taking care of a baby is a bit scary especially with all the unknown but the fact that she is who is she is, is because of all your love and support and attention to the finer details ! You are such an amazing mom, you really inspire me and I can’t wait to be a mom because of you! ♥️

Baby wear recommendations from a mama of 4 ❤ I loved the Solly wrap for the newborn days for when you need to get things done around the house. It'll take a few times to get used to the the long fabric and ties, but I really love how cozy and comfortable it was for baby and I. We loved the baby bjorn carrier for when we are out and about. Super easy and fast to put on, only 4 clips 🥳 When you had your first babe, I had my 4th around the same time. So sweet to see you go through it again with baby #2. Congrats and so happy for you guys ❤

[@laurenmary141]

Owlet is amazing!!! Also I have all three of the Chekoh carriers! Used the wrap so so much and now use the clip carrier. My son ONLY naps on me in the carrier (we have tried everything) anyway it’s cute but the carriers are life changing and it’s also so cute!

[@KaitMBx17]

Jess, I have used the owlet and still currently have it actually. I really liked it. It gave me some ease after losing my first son and having my second son come into this world. I was so nervous that he was going to stop breathing in the middle of the night or even during the day. I do recommend it!

[@KaileyAnderson-oi4tn]

In my opinion, shifts don’t work unless your husband does not stay in the room. Mine took first shift and gave baby breastmilk bottles of milk that I had pumped during the day and usually one bottle of formula. I would go to sleep around 8-9 and pump right before going to sleep and then he would stay in the living room with the baby. Then he would roll her in around 1-2am and I would get up with her the rest of the night. He is a light sleeper so he went and slept in the other room so he could get uninterrupted sleep as well. It worked seamlessly for us. My baby did not have a good latch so I would pump after feeding her a bottle when she woke up the first time. I knew I did not want to have to pump through the night so I wouldn’t pump unless I woke up and needed to before she came in but I don’t think it even happened. I also pumped first thing in the morning. But if you breastfeed then you wouldn’t have to worry about the pumping and it would be even easier!

[@tiffanyngu5538]

Yes to babywear! My baby was a Velcro baby and I had to baby wear to allow for contact naps :) I found in the newborn stage the wrap ones are the best, I got the konny flex which was very easy to use!

[@khym93]

A 30min video from Jess yesssss❤❤

[@maddyclemons9126]

Absolutely love the owlet! It gives me such a peace of mind when my baby makes a weird noise. You get live HR and O2 levels. It is super easy to use and the baby doesn't mind it. You don't have to worry about waking the baby to check on breathing. I have also found it useful now that the baby is in the nursery, because an alarm will go off if the baby is moving too much. I honestly don't know how I would sleep without it.

[@angelinachan7714]

Hey Jess! I’m due with my second baby girl this July! Awesome video! You should definitely have a little look into the Thompson breastfeeding method if you haven’t already. It’s a little course and there is SO much information in there that just isn’t taught by the medical system but it makes SO much sense!! Thousands of mums have SWORN by this, and say it diminishes nipple trauma so much and makes breastfeeding that much easier! My breastfeeding journey didn’t last super long with my first unfortunately so I’m soo looking forward to trying this method and praying that breastfeeding will work this time! All the best for you guys and your birth!!💗

Baby wearing is a game changer!! We used the Boba wrap a lot when our babe was 0-5 months (we still sometimes use it). We splurged and got the Wildbird Aerial carrier-absolutely amazing! We had an Ergobaby one and it was super confusing. The Wildbird is comfortable and so easy to use. I can put it on by myself front and back wearing, it’s amazing.

[@onyasonja1]

I had my first a month after you had Makaiah and I feel the exact same with everything you pointed out for the second baby. You realise that buying all of the things recommended by everyone can actually be overwhelming - having to figure out how to use everything and store it and clean it! I’d like to go as minimal and simple as possible for my second because it’s less work! Regarding carriers, I personally like the wrap carrier for a tiny baby. Once my girl got to around 8 months, it wasn’t as comfortable any more and I felt the same way as you with the big bulky carriers, they’re pretty uncomfortable especially for at home. I didn’t end up continuing with baby wearing so don’t have any recommendations unfortunately.

[@tracib2133]

Artipoppe is hands down the best carrier. It’s expensive but worth it. I also loved the solly wrap for when my daughter was first born.

[@jessicadefranco7490]

baby bjorn “mini” carrier is AMAZING!! solly wrap is very comfy and form fitting to your body & baby however, its not as quick/easy

[@Toleefish]

Jess, idk if you’ve looked into Silverettes for nipple pain while breastfeeding, but after breastfeeding/pumping for a year, I can say these were 1,000% worth it and made a world of difference! I started using them day 2 in the hospital, and they healed my nipples so much faster than nipple cream. It was also nice to have a barrier to protect my nipples, since it was painful when anything rubbed against them. I wore them for an entire year, and I would recommend them to anyone!

[@JessConte]

I struggled with finding a baby carrier as well! Mostly in finding one my baby liked. The one I ended up liking the most was the Ergobaby Embrace carrier. It was comfy for both of us and not too difficult to figure out!

I had my son a week after your first & I’m pregnant now as well! 💗 The Baby Bjorn Mini is the easiest to use until they grow out of it, afterwards I would look for a soft structured carrier (currently on the hunt for one as well) because the structured Ergo Baby that I had was not as comfy or easy to use on your own!

Boppi baby wrap! My baby is so secure and comfy in it and I’ve found it’s the easiest on my back and postpartum body!

The Ariel buckle baby carrier from wild bird is a godsend! You can wear them in it from newborn until they’re nearly 1! It’s adjustable and super easy. I will say, I used the moby wrap for the first few weeks just because they’re SO little. I loved that one too! Just took practice

ahhh thats actually what I had, the Moby! but it was so confusing for me hahah maybe I just need to practice more beforehand 🥲

[@paytonmcfann7701]

@@JessConte i agree 100% it’s not easy! I practiced a lot before my son was even born because I was so nervous about it 😅 Once you get it, it’ll be like second nature!

Tik tok was the best for showing how to baby wear! I had a baby bjorn carrier I loved, the boba and moby wrap were both great and so comfy, and then an ergobaby one which wasn’t as comfy or supportive as the baby bjorn! I really want the artipoppe carrier for my next baby because we baby wore ALL THE TIME!
