I'm so glad to hear a momma these days who admits she's being flexible with her newborn instead of following rigid rules and schedules!!! I know I'm older and old fashioned but I wish new mommas would relax a bit and not make life so hard for themselves and the babies!!!

I love how you are so middle ground about babies. Co-sleeping and sleep training, breastfeeding and formula. I feel like most blogs are extremists. It encourages me that you can drop a bit of both

This was so raw and honest. It's beautiful to see how motherhood evolves with time and with each child. Thank you for your honesty.

I also gave my baby formula and I was so glad because it reduced my stress. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing and that realization has actually resulted in my baby getting MORE breast milk!

I find it really depends on the person. I had my child when i was 23 and I studied nursing RN in uni. I was pretty well equipped with knowledge and experience since i was placed at labour and delivery. I was a pretty chill mom. I didn't really have schedules or anything like that. I let my baby hold rule and just followed his lead. It led him to be much happier and me being much happier as well. Everyone is different. Everyone parents different. I had so many of my aunties telling me im spoiling him but how do you spoil a newborn who only wants milk and cuddles?? Just do you hun!

Thank you so much for being so brave and honest about co sleeping (safely) and introducing formula early if you don't have enough milk right away... there's so much shaming of new moms for these things so it's so nice to see this.

Mix feeding is okay, saved babies from life threatening situations, don't be ashamed to introduce formula #fedisbest

[Vivalastyle]

I been strictly breastfeeding my 4 month old baby. There are times I feel so drained, and I even feel ashamed for even thinking of introducing formula to her. The internet does not help either, you just want the best for her, but mom shaming its so so real!

Thankfully both of twins slept in their bassinets the whole night because I was adamant about not bed-sharing. Then when the turned 8 months, I was hospitalized for over a week, and my mom got them dependent on being rocked and held in their sleep. It has been a nightmare to break the habit but they're finally getting better now at 12 months.

Wow, this is the most refreshing motherhood video I have ever seen in my entire freaking life. I’m still in the first year of having baby home as we spent two months in the nicu and I’m finally starting to relax. Thanks for this breath of fresh air.

Hearing these comments have been so relieving for me as I've struggled with what I "think" should be the "right" way of doing things and it's just led to a lot of stress and frustration. From strictly wanting to breastfeed because of "nipple confusion" and not knowing what's really in formula to trying not to freak out because he's crying..and on occasion wanting to strangle my hubby for the first time EVER in our 10 yr relationship...It's so nice to hear that what's going on and what I am doing shouldn't make me feel bad. Thank you Susan for being so real about these topics! It's very encouraging!

Amen sister! Unnecessary stress, this is real and needed to be heard.

[barbsosnowski]

I Absolutely loved this video♡ Its wonderful to see a mom admit to co-sleep with their baby. I thought i was the only one and it made me feel so guilty. I didnt know what i was doing wrong, i saw all these moms who say their babies sleep in their bassinet through the night. Co-sleeping gave me sanity and I wish more moms admitted to do it too. Thank you for this amazing raw and realistic video 💕💕

[daniellecalder]

Also, something I learned recently is that milk doesn’t “come in”. It’s all milk. Colostrum, transition milk, and normal milk is all milk so there is no need to stress. It all gives your baby nutrition and it’s all good! This idea that milk needs to “come in” is just not true. Thank goodness!

Our Ozair is 10 weeks -- just a bit older than Ayla, but he's my first. My biggest issue is that I want to constantly strangle my husband! This video definitely encouraged me to chill out more. His work hours are insane, and I didn't enjoy being at home with the baby almost 24 hours by myself. Thank God for mommy groups. I'm back at work now and it's been so much better since I get more balance in my day. Can't imagine how you're doing it with two! And you look beautiful! Go mama!

It’s also good to try soothing them with your voice before picking them up that way they can learn to be comforted by your presence even when you aren’t physically sitting with them :)

[juliafaulkner]

Loving that you’re cosleeping! I have coslept all 3, and like you was so much harder on myself following the “rules” of schedules with my first. Then I realised they aren’t robots. Sometimes I get tired early, sometimes I can’t fall asleep, sometimes I wake up feeling crappy, sometimes happy, sometimes I’m hungry for lunch at 11am, sometimes not hungry at all during the day. Why would babies not be the same, they’re human too x

[coralpetals]

Best video ever, Susan Yara! Glad you are taking a more relaxed approach to motherhood this time around and enjoying getting to know your baby.

I just wanted to thank you, my family judged me because they kept saying I wouldn't know how to care for my first child and all of your videos helped me so much. I adore all your videos 💙

Ah the letting her cry thing for a minute or so is so true for the second one especially me... :) I too have been relaxed about it.
