    It’s time to start nesting for baby #2 and share their gender! I feel very late to the game since I’m almost 38 weeks pregnant, but better late than never! I hope this video gives you motivation to get nesting if you’re also pregnant or gives you some organization ideas for your space :)

    Hi Allison - I’m a granny now but my 2nd child was 4.5kg at birth and she made her appearance before the doc arrived so I had severe tearing. We didn’t have all the amazing things that are available nowadays, but one thing that I was encouraged to do to assist with healing was to use an infrared lamp. Just thought I would share.
    Best wishes with the birth and looking forward to seeing your new bundle of joy, and catch up on your progress. Be kind to yourself ❤❤

    New here 👋🏻 I have two teenagers, but at one point I also had 2 under two. The memories came flooding back watching this! Your sweet little girl helping you and just being right by your side literally brought me to tears. I just kept thinking about how life is when you are a young Mom. Also about how freaking hard it was for me having 2 under two, and my heart really goes out to you, because I just know! Omg, I'm such a middle aged cliché. I am rooting for you and keeping you in my thoughts.

    Hi Allison, I have 2 baby girls that are 2 and 4. I'm still getting used to my babies so close in age, there's 10 years between my first and second and second and third. Watching them interact is so amazing. Sometimes they fight, sometimes they're sick of each other but it's the cute moments that are so heartwarming. Congratulations and good luck with your new baby girl.👣

We now have a granddaughter who is 14 months. So cute to see Maddie being such a big helper. She is going to be a great big sister.

    I think stains reappear after storing. I use to wash stains right away and then stored them for future baby. Stains cane back. Washed again and they went away or faded. Not sure why that is. My kids are grown but I enjoy baby nesting. I’m having a new great niece soon. Little girls are so much fun to dress!

    It's so fun to see another nesting video since your last pregnancy! I love watching 2nd-time-mom nestings and seeing what they learned from their first baby :) Side note, Maddie's curly hair is SO CUTE
    My husband and I really want kids (currently he's got major baby fever) but we're waiting until his active duty contract is over, which is luckily over halfway over ✊️ in the meantime I love to watch nesting videos to live vicariously a little haha
    My best friend who just moved back home when her husband deployed found out a week after he left for 9 months that she's 2 weeks along 🫠 that's EXACTLY what we're trying to avoid :')

    Hello Allison. Just wanted to share my experience with baby clothes. I have 4 girls so I used to store baby clothes and reuse it for my babies. I remember packing nice clean peaces of clothing but when I took them out, many of them were covered in yellowish stains. I guess it was the milk fat that came out with time as the clothes weren't washed on high temperature and the fat molecules weren't distroyed. I rewashed them on high temperature this time and the stains have gone! So maybe it wasn't you packing stained clothes but stains just appeared with time :) Have a nice and safe delivery and a healthy strong baby!

    Hi Allison! Just here to say I love your DIY content and here to congratulate you on baby #2! I'm due in December with my second baby, a baby girl, and I wanted to let you know that I experienced similar struggles with breastfeeding with my first baby. He didn't latch without the nipple shield for the first 2 months and, even though I didn't breastfeed for as long as I wanted to, the nipple shields were an absolute lifesaver for my journey! I also had to supplement with formula to help my son grow properly. Good luck with everything! Hoping and praying for a safe delivery for you!

    • @AllisonMcPhail
      @AllisonMcPhail  Před 8 měsíci

      Nipple shields are not talked about enough before you have a baby IMO! It was such a life saver for us once a lactation consultant introduced them to us!

    • @tortellini225
      @tortellini225 Před 8 měsíci

      @@AllisonMcPhail kind of crazy that they get either no recognition, or are treated like a bad thing sometimes, though. The lactation consultant in the hospital wanted me to try and wean my son off from the shield as quickly as possible, but it took him 2 months to feed without them. And my son had horrible reflux as well. I basically lived for my son wearing bibs to catch all of his spit up.

    • @AllisonMcPhail
      @AllisonMcPhail  Před 8 měsíci

      Thank you & congrats! Reflux life is HARD. Just know that it does get better with time! We held her upright for 20 minutes after every feed, saw a lactation consultant to make sure she wasn't taking in any unnecessary air during feeds, and LOTS of burping. Basically everything that the internet suggests can help, but also give yourself a little grace and know that even with all of these tips reflux is still just HARD and won't be totally managed until they just grow out of it. After 6 months we were in a much better place, but she didn't stop spitting up after every feed until she was 1 year old.
