Thank you so much for this vlog! I have a 4 month old now and constantly stress about the routine/sleep rules- which my daughter literally never follows. And I say to myself ‘what should I do now?’ all the time! Also the back pain is terrible! I love your book tube content but these vlogs are so nice and relatable! Please keep the baby stuff coming!

[@racheld7913]

I really appreciate this honest vlog Lauren as a young woman in my 30s unsure whats next and with not much baby experience! life hey!! those eyes though 🥰💜

[@bookishshenanigans4769]

Honestly, the world needs more realistic baby content rather than people just showing the highlights. Hope she's in a better routine now and not waking you up so early!

[@luke28]

I love how down to earth you are about it all, very refreshaing and much needed in the whole experience of mothering and how it is shown online if you ask me :)

[@jillianclose308]

I feel this on a deep level. My daughter is 17 months now and on ONE nap. I thought that day would never come. Thanks for your vulnerability- you are doing a fantastic job!

[@LaurenWade]

Wow, one nap, such a dream! 😅 thank you xxx

[@LeComplice]

so good to see you Lauren! And Edith! take care!

[@dee2022uk]

Interesting even for those of us without kids! Homely and heartwarming.

[@Anne-xq2ni]

Loved this vlog! Such a gorgeous little girl and you’re doing fantastic!

[@victoriadekle9520]

A lovely view today - it was great to see how you and E spend the day. I have a four year old and remember that first year and the constant need to deal with schedule. It’s such a physical time! Thanks for sharing with us 💕💕💕

[@KatieFinnElliott]

I really loved this. It was comforting. I have a 4 month old so I relate to long exhausting days and only thinking about routines and how to fill your day.

[@krissyn.3366]

Awe I've missed seeing you! Wow, your days are busy! I'm not sure where I would find the energy for all of that. She is getting so big and she is so adorable! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@vanessalaughtland4417]

Thanks for doing this Lauren, it was really informative for me! The mum life is impending and I'm a bit nervous so was great to see something so realistic 😊👍🏻

[@N_Garamond]

that shot of her post-tomato pasta was SO cute and hilarious. and it was a great insight in the little details of having a baby

[@natalieclamp]

I found this really interesting as someone without children - you're so honest and open about everything. Thank you 🥰

[@alicee3670]

I don’t have a baby but I found this video so peaceful!

[@virag5627]

It was honestly fun to watch how it actually is to be home with a baby! I have never spent more than 10 minutes with a baby and could never imagine how the whole thing would work!

[@cerim9339]

Aww I loved this Lauren - my wee Jude is now 3 months and also doesn’t take a bottle, interesting to see your schedule of a baby who is a bit older! Jude really doesn’t have a particular schedule and it makes me feel like I’m doing something wrong! Found this such a relaxing vlog. So lovely seeing you & Edith together! Ceri :) x

[@LaurenWade]

Aah there is no right way, but sometimes that makes it harder - so much different information! I think the shift to a bit of a clearer routine did only start to emerge at about 3-4 months for us, so I really wouldn’t worry! :) xx

[@Maggiezhaohy]

I was just like you: listening to the rules, trying to stick with it, and was confused about what to do when one thing was changed. And now I looked back, I feel like the best way is listen to the baby’s need and give it some time before deciding what to do next. And I feel really lucky that my husband was with me most of the time during maternity leave. Not very helpful but is very willing to look after us.

[@shona_2983]

Don’t apologise, I have a 4 month old so this is really interesting to see how your sleep schedule goes. Thanks for sharing

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

Oh this is warming my heart 🥺 I love that you made brushing her teeth into a mini game 💞

[@TeaBooksAndTazmyn]

SEEING YOU SO COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH HER IS EVERYTHING 😭

[@LaurenWade]

Hahaha ❤️

[@PeeweeM80]

Fascinating look into your wee life there 😃👶🏼 so cute but man, you mummy’s are amazing. 💯 I don’t have kids so I found it interesting.

[@RosieCockshutt]

This was super interesting - and I say that as someone without kids and who actively doesn’t want them 😅😅😅 Really appreciate your sharing of an “actual” day, I can’t imagine how discouraging it must be for parents to constantly be bombarded with the social media only showing the good sides version of parenting we see so often.

[@katem198]

Nuna mixx birch twins! ✌️ loved this! My little boy’s 17 mo now so I was scrambling to think what it was like 9-10 months ago, but I’m sure it was the same kind of hurdles. She is a BRILLIANT baby. I can’t believe how well she eats and how calm she is when you’re cleaning her teeth or dressing her! Maybe I just can’t remember 😂 and well done for being a super cool, calm mum too. I would have gone into such a grump when she woke up early because of the builders! Getting through the day without any tears is a win! 😆

[@butteredflies]

Thank you for this vlog! I have a 4 month old and the baby life is all consuming 😆

[@Bicoastalwitch]

Poor thing with her teething cheeks 🥲 Such a wonderful mum!

[@lindacarson5429]

She is so cute & you are so calm & patient with her. It's not an easy job but you seem to be doing brilliantly. I hope you have some other mums for support - my sister used to go to all the local mums & tots groups in her area & found them real life-savers!

[@LaurenWade]

Thank you! 😭 I certainly don’t feel patient a lot of the time but we work on it every day xx

[@kayleenleetch8416]

Hang in there!

[@Ren-ih4kj]

Hi Lauren. Nice to see you. I have no kids, nor any intention of having kids, and I watched the whole vlog, so I wouldn't worry about how entertaining it was. I think you're doing fine. Good luck with the baby schedule.

[@LaurenWade]

Thank you! Xx

[@SueWard]

Forget the rule books lol, this young I just went with flow. They soon grow lol mines in their 30’s now. I used to do my work around them, go out each day regularly as fresh air is good. Just a suggestion. It’s hard work xxx But it only comes once. Enjoy every moment

[@jessm2913]

Loved this video thank you for sharing such a realistic view of being a mum 🤗 As someone who now suffers from as my Doc likes to call it "Mum back" to all mums/parents out there....keep up your stretching (so hard to find time I know) and back exercises cause it'll only make it worse if you don't.

[@LaurenWade]

Absolutely! She’s started wanting to walk everywhere now holding onto my hands and man that is a whole different strain on the back! So hard to find time for exercise though isn’t it? Xx

[@MaryAmongStories]

💛🌻

[@alysonwilliams2543]

Oh, it reminds me of my life 22 years ago! The laughs, the tiredness, the boredom of it all! Well done 👍

[@summer6787]

It goes so fast! I did this at 24 and I don’t think I could now 😱

[@LisaThomas466]

Same for me 21 years ago! I loved the vlog Lauren, it brought back so many memories of trying to juggle naps and routines and agonising about doing my best all the time despite being shattered. You're doing a brilliant job.

[@sandra7319.]

💓💓💓💓💓

[@FullyBookedMelissa]

Oh this brings me back! Mine is 6 years old now. This makes me miss having a baby, but not miss taking care of a baby... If that makes any sense lol

[@LaurenWade]

Completely 😅

[@jocelynveevers1076]

I love her little swimsuit! Thanks for sharing this
