I don’t know what it is about your videos, but since becoming pregnant and nesting, your videos are sooo easy to watch and listen to. They’re so soothing and down to earth. I’ve found that most American mom videos are harsh with a voice that make it really hard to watch. Love your content, thank you for your effort ❤️

[@homemaker0506]

Love seeing you in this season, you are doing such a great job. Parenting isn’t easy, but it is so worth it.

[@michellereedg]

yes yes yes ☺️💗

[@tiffanypacheco_]

Being a mom is the hardest most rewarding job I’ve ever had! ❤

[@caitlinfaith8910]

I am a new mom and watching you is sooo refreshing. Thank you for sharing at the end. That is EXACTLY how I feel,I’ve never related more. It’s so nice to see reality so I know that the things I’m experiencing are normal rather than seeing just the good stuff and thinking I’m crazy. God is using you and your journey in mighty ways. You’re doing amazing truly❤

[@elliedecker-hv1cb]

I would LOVE to see a baby registry crash course - products you love, regrets, things you wish you registered for etc. Hoping to get pregnant in the next year and a half! ❤

[@gracecruz9508]

I admire how you handle being a mom at such a young age, Michelle. Connor is super lucky to have a mom like you❤️

[@SimplySami13]

thank you so much for sharing the end!! i also see a ton of people traveling with their babies and i get so disheartened thinking that i probably never could because my baby isn’t like theirs or “maybe i just have a difficult baby” compared to all these “easy” babies i see online. your vulnerability means so much for new mamas like me!! also YES to the power of prayer! i could not be a good mom without God, He truly gets me through everything

[@MacySchott99]

Pregnant now! And I am loving all this mom/baby content!! Such useful tips, thank you!! Can’t wait to see more things you’ve liked/are using in everyday normal life at home in Texas!

[@chrissiedcohen]

Wonderful vlog! The lessons you are learning will continue to serve you well as Connor continues to grow and change. I always called myself the “Reality Check Friend” & would share both the good & the not-so-good with friends. The intent was never to scare or be negative, but to share & normalize the experience. The quote that you shared about being a great parent before becoming a parent (I forget the wording) is spot on! Parenting is both rewarding AND hard…two things can be true! For me, around age 18 mos/24 mos things got more tricky with routines, napping, attachment, etc. Getting back into a routine took longer than the time we were out of a routine. Every baby is different, but that age marked a significant change in parental attachment/preference that had lasted 18+ years.

[@ATSC_42664]

Love watching Michelle! I appreciate you being so open about early motherhood! Have to say every time she calls her baby’s outfit a bodysuit instead of onesie it makes me giggle!

[@michellereedg]

haha wait, most stores I buy from call them bodysuits 🙈

[@magss92]

Onesie is a trademarked term exclusively for use by Gerber! That’s why most stores call them bodysuits!

[@flowood9783]

not sure if it’s a british term but i always called them babygrows!

[@ATSC_42664]

@@michellereedg that makes sense! I think it is more of a family term calling them onesies! I didn’t know it was trademarked!

[@esmeehartje]

I'm still so happy that you are back! Love to see your beautiful transition into motherhood! Love from the Netherlands 🧡

I LOVE you keeping it real! That's exactly what happened when I traveled with my baby. Hearing your story makes me feel I'm not such a failure haha

[@sandramoss1417]

Thanks for being so honest about motherhood. It's very validating. ❤ motherhood is the most beautiful thing, but also the hardest thing.

[@taianabravo4179]

I truly love watching your vlogs!

[@megancox9549]

Thanks for continually sharing. I know it's hard to travel with kids, but it is worth it for the memories.

[@keiri456]

Becoming a parent definitely is humbling. I’m hoping to take our first flight trip once our baby is 1 year old in a few months. I told myself we can totally still do it but I realize now as time goes on that I just need to learn to embrace the chaos. I’m a little nervous because as she gets older, it’s harder to have her just sit still. But like you said, just learn to enjoy those small moments. 🌸

[@keepitsimple318]

thank you for sharing. learning so much from you as we have a newborn too!

[@whitneyamparo7563]

My daughter is about a month older than Connor, and I can relate so much to every thought and experience you’re sharing in your recent videos! You’re doing great mama ❤

[@MLeanne93]

Love your content. So relatable. Becoming a mom is a humbling experience in so many ways but so so beautiful too.

[@larrdiidarr]

I travelled to 10 countries with my baby before he turned one! My advice is to travel more before they are more active! Under 1 is easy. :)

[@michellereedg]

yes this is what I’ve heard! your baby is quite the world traveler ☺️

[@maryj1434]

I love that a lot of us have basically grown up with you ❤❤ I found your channel when you were still dating Gunner, and now you have a son and you're married to Aiden(: God is so good

[@isabel2589]

I just had my baby 3 weeks ago and I'm not planning to go anywhere with her anytime soon (not by plane), but this video was SO useful, thank you!

[@lauras.lifejoy]

Loved this video, Michelle! I'm a first time mom too and just started my KZbin channel recently! We traveled with our baby at 4 months too - it was definitely more difficult than I anticipated. I have loved seeing your motherhood journey and long the advice and honest chats you share 💛 It's amazing how God uses our littles to teach us so much!!

ahhh so fun, where did you guys go? ☺️

Highly recommend BabyQuip when traveling!

[@ArtistryOfAdventure]

I've had an isle seat before and gave it up for a mother and child who were crammed in the middle seat. I think it made all the difference for everyone in that section to give the mother all the room she needed for the flight.

[@michellereedg]

she was probably SO appreciative. this is so kind ❤️

[@ArtistryOfAdventure]

@@michellereedg It's the Canadian way!

[@kerrimareee]

I'm so glad I've started watching your content again! Can I ask (because I am super curious how each KZbinr navigates this) - do you share the clips of Connor with Aiden prior to including them? Or are you comfortable enough in knowing what feels right for the two of you?

[@nanrottkamp5817]

Have you ever considered the playtex bottle for travel? One bottle, liners and a few lids and nipples. Saves a ton of space and no tummy aches for baby.

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Michelle, my 30th birthday is this month!🎉❤

[@amandakate1247]

I’d love to know what formula you recommend 🤗

Have you travel outside the country with a newborn I have trip this summer and I don’t know what paperwork to take.

[@ashleylandsman7161]

Where is that cute checkered brown and cream blanket from?

[@user-hh5pw6ek1m]

She got it off amazon for when she went to the hospital for delivery. I actually just got mine today for taking with me to the hospital. She inspired me to get it lol

[@stephanieodom8813]

I loved you making the bottle in Popeyes! 🤣😋😋

[@michellereedg]

😂😂😂

[@madisonmoak8506]

This might be a game changer for you and idk if you do this already but get the Dr browns pitcher and premake his formula for the day ..I make 24 oz every day and use it within 24 hours and you don’t have to mix the formula every bottle

[@michellereedg]

okay I’ve totally meant to do this! I literally have the pitcher, just always too lazy to do it in the morning 😂 I totally need to though

[@deannabrock5951]

[@amyann47]

TSA gave me such a hard time when I had formula and water in my carry-on. I’m like dude….. look at the baby I’m holding 😂 I had no issues in Phoenix airport but had a hard time when we returned at a much smaller airport.

[@michellereedg]

ugh, I’m sorry! yeah, the few times we’ve flown they’ve been super chill about it thankfully ❤️

[@Sorry24]

I have same stroller and ive been wondering if we can bring it inside the airport and airplane. Me and my wife been researching how much distilled water and baby powder we can bring cause our son is always hungry.. we our flying internationally to Philippines this July

You calling his onesies “bodysuits” cracked me up 😂❤ so happy to see you back on KZbin!!

okay I did not realize this was weird 😂 every store I go to calls them bodysuits, I’m confused!

Fun fact the term “onesie” is actually trademarked by gerber :) that’s probably why
