LOVE the idea of packing snacks ahead of time to put in the caddy for nighttime feedings and snacks. I never wanted to go downstairs but I was so hungry. Going to do this on my next baby!
restaurant prep tip: instead of slicing cherry toms one by one, take two lids from 2 food storage containers (Tupperware, etc) and put your tomatoes in-between the two lids (top sides facing in) and slide your knife between the two lids. You'll be able to cut about 15 to 20 toms at a time.
I love that he packs you a snack bag. My husband is also very supportive of my breastfeeding and I really think the support helps! You guys are an awesome husband and wife team!
Same! My man loves my milky titties and thinks it's a turn on, makes me feel good about myself! In a passed relationship they were grossed out by my milk so it's really refreshing to be in a way more supportive relationship
That snack caddy is the best idea that i wish i did with my first and will be doing with my second! I definitely didn’t eat enough with my first and lost too much weight while nursing, but lesson learned!! So difficult to find time to cook three PLUS meals a day when you are a new mom - i love these ideas. Thank you!
Taking turns with a baby is a REAL THING. Our son is 3.5 and we still do it to run errands because his attention span, sensory processing issues are really overwhelming trying to go to stores with him. Having a supportive partner is key to any relationship, especially with a child:) Love all your videos and congrats on Sage!
I was putting spinach in my protein shakes but found out, the oxalates in raw spinach precent you from absorbing iron. You have to cook it first. Vega protein is awesome, btw.
This was really inspiring! I ate really bad my first trimester and put on too much weight which I’m not beating myself up over but I wanna do better now (but I was so nauseous and had a random veggie aversion 😪) finally getting a little better and I can eat some veggies again and less bland/fast food so I’m trying to take advantage of it and this really gave me some ideas, thank you!
I cannot imagine there are people who never had a salad spinner, I've known it my whole life, always amazed when I'm at someone's house where there is none, wonder how they make salads lol
@@surlespasdondine hahahahahah It was never in my household!!! You should have seen my salads. On top of just wet greens, I would add my salad dressing and it would be a wet mess HAHAHA
A delicious additional way to get greens in is spinach/kale/basil/pine nuts/garlic pesto and pasta with or without chicken or meat. This is easy to make at start of week and have a few times as main meal or side.
Thank you so much for sharing your heart! Joy, you are a huge role model in my life as a Christian wife and mom! I’m learning after having my second baby that I can’t control everything, that I need to cling to God and true joy comes from Him.
Hello dear! Thank you for this lovely inspiring videos and meal ideas 💞 now I do believe I am the first one commenting this, however, forgive me if I am not: in Mexico, what we call "fajitas" is grilled strips of a meet of choice (beef or chicken), sometimes with added bell pepper and onion, although if the meet was not cut in strips but rather in small pieces it would become "Alambre" (odd, I know 😅). "Tacos" is anything you can put in a corn tortilla and eat it. And I mean any bloody thing. So you can cook "fajitas" (grilled strips of meet, with or without bell pepper and onion) and put them in a tortilla, turning them into a taco. So what I see you cook here is more likely what we would consider shrimp tacos, rather than fajitas (no meet cut on strips, see?) So there, hope that wasn't confusing 😂😅 lots of love your way!
Thank you for giving me food ideas! Recently I found out, spinach is on the dirty dozen list, among some other fruits in your video. So I will be substituting, hopefully it still tastes good!
Matt is great. I wish my husband would help me like this with my 2. You can eat and drink relaxed. I'm jealous I don't have time because everytime i eat or cook one of them is cryiing.
Same problem here. My husband is supportive but he is working full time. Great video but all I could think is where's the baby? I don't have 5 minutes to use bathroom without a crying baby so no way I could prep veggies and meals like this.
I'm definitely taking some pointers from this video... I'm a first timer and I tried the mother's milk by traditional medicinals and it seems like the little bit I was doing has went down so I'm trying the milky Mama's line...but amen to having someone to help you with everything... that's truly a blessing...
Great video! Matt is such a great helper making your snack kits and such. And you are doing such a wonderful job, Sage is blessed to have you guys as her parents. Happy holidays
I’m about to send this video to my wife and be like..”you better be like Mr. Matt and make me a snack bag” 🤣 currently 10 weeks and your videos have helped me so much.
This comment is everything. Thank you so much. I think it’s easy to oversee the work that’s involved in Breastfeeding on demand and pumping on top of that while healing physically and mentally form brith. Matt is amazing but so are all the mommas out there and they need the support more then ever.
@@HealthNutNutrition You know I'm fighting covid at the moment and my husband took the kids out in the snow☃️ I am not contagious anymore but too weak to leave the house still. And was so sad I couldn't go, but everyone in our family whatsapp group only talked about him and how great he is for taking care of his own kids🙄 Grateful for him but you know,, come on...I was the one needing support.
Wishing you Matt and Cashew the best Christmas ever with Baby Sage. You will always remember Sage's first Christmas as its so special so enjoy, the memories will last a lifetime. 🎄☃️
You know there are caring husbands out there 😂 mine always makes me meals, cleans and helps me take care of the baby cause marriage and parenthood is 50/50
Hey Nicole !! Could you give me a link of your oils diffuser and also your smoothie glasses !! Love this video !!! Great that ur organized like that !! You will see it would help you à lot xoxox love from Montréal Canada
Did you gain weight eating the carbs and snacking? My 4th baby is 8 weeks old and I snack on carbs more than when I'm not nursing because I can't eat the dairy and chocolate (insert tears). I don't enjoy them near as much as my dairy and chocolate but my belly fat has increased in this short amount of time due to the diet change of replacing carbs with dairy.
Love the food ideas. Definitely going to try the smoothies. But fajitas are strip steak. So those are just simply shrimp tacos. Looks like a good recipe but thought I let you know the difference. ❤ never usually eat shrimp tacos but those look promising 😊
Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks! The snack idea for nighttime feedings is a great recommendation. Sometimes while mama has a snack, we like to play diverse children's songs for our little one. Enjoy our inclusive, representative children's songs, written by two Broadway singers! #progressongs
Omg stop. This is my first time on your video and clearly for a reason :30 seconds in I have to comment because my 8 month old daughters name is Sage ❤️❤️❤️ lol love it!
Wow what you eat looks very healthy and little (no carbs except for the sandwich)this is Incredible you have good milk supply. On the contrary, I have been eating a lot in order to have more milk supply as I think I don't have a lot .... After watching this video I'll eat more veggies.
I wish I was this motivated to eat healthy. I rarely buy greens because I use half, and the rest goes bad. By the time I think of making smoothies, I’m out of bananas, and my avocados have gone bad. My kids are picky, the boys not as much as my daughter who tries to live off carbs. My husband never helps me eat leftovers. I end up eating a lot of tuna or sardine sandwiches (which is fine, since I’ve been craving a lot of that during this pregnancy,) but I’m not motivated to cook much. I make soup and mashed potatoes often to take to work. My mom’s been giving me food that the boys will sometimes eat with me, and my husband works for Uber eats, so he ends up eating fast food a lot. He used to have me make him fish fillet sandwiches since we needed to stop going to McDonalds for those, and since my sister gifted me an air fryer, but he’s been burnt out on those too. The main things I cook for us both are Zuppa Toscana, or I brown smoked sausage with bell peppers and onions, and throw in a box of pasta-roni. We tried to do Keto, but husband keeps buying hotdogs and taquitos. Those Fajitas look so good and easy to make! I’d be the only one to eat them tho, my husband only eats tempura shrimp, and the kids won’t even try it. My daughter always says the food I make smells gross, but hopefully with taste buds changing every 7 years, she’ll start eating more of a variety of food..
Nikole, I just wanted to let you know that I made and tried the Shrimp Fajitas and they are perfection!! Thank you so much for this simple and delicious recipe!! 🤗☺️
LOVE the idea of packing snacks ahead of time to put in the caddy for nighttime feedings and snacks. I never wanted to go downstairs but I was so hungry. Going to do this on my next baby!
It’s the best! I actually look forward to them when going to bed ☺️
That is a really great idea! Anything you can do to save time and have more time to snuggle that adorable baby!
Wow you are eating so well. I didn't consume even 1/4 of what you are having. Matt is soo supportive and amazing partner. Awesome video
I was also thinking the same you have mentioned here
restaurant prep tip: instead of slicing cherry toms one by one, take two lids from 2 food storage containers (Tupperware, etc) and put your tomatoes in-between the two lids (top sides facing in) and slide your knife between the two lids. You'll be able to cut about 15 to 20 toms at a time.

I was putting spinach in my protein shakes but found out, the oxalates in raw spinach precent you from absorbing iron. You have to cook it first.
Vega protein is awesome, btw.
What if you add fruits like oranges or strawberries that help with absorption?
@@sofkinwhat8251 oranges and strawberries cause collic in babies
This is such a nice video it’s great to see that people can still raise their children and still stay healthy 🔥😍
Yep but it is hard when you breastfeeding. I lost weight when I was pregnant but now I am eating like a cow.
6 a
Oh its so hard to stay healthy while breastfeeding a newborn.
This was really inspiring! I ate really bad my first trimester and put on too much weight which I’m not beating myself up over but I wanna do better now (but I was so nauseous and had a random veggie aversion 😪) finally getting a little better and I can eat some veggies again and less bland/fast food so I’m trying to take advantage of it and this really gave me some ideas, thank you!
Good luck to you on your pregnancy journey!
IM ALSO SO AMAZED BY THE SALAD SPINNER!!! Literally before I got one, I would eat wet salads hahahaha, it has been a game changer
Yea amazing!!!
I cannot imagine there are people who never had a salad spinner, I've known it my whole life, always amazed when I'm at someone's house where there is none, wonder how they make salads lol
@@surlespasdondine hahahahahah It was never in my household!!! You should have seen my salads. On top of just wet greens, I would add my salad dressing and it would be a wet mess HAHAHA

Omggg we always watch the same videos lol I’ll scroll through the comments and see you hahaha... also salad spinners are a game changer lol🥰😂
A delicious additional way to get greens in is spinach/kale/basil/pine nuts/garlic pesto and pasta with or without chicken or meat. This is easy to make at start of week and have a few times as main meal or side.
You make new mom routines look so effortless ! Love your recipes!

This seam like a good idea for kids who are stuck at home for virtually learning water snacks all in a portable way they can set this night before
I swear people who don’t drink coffee have the most energy 😤 I try my best hahahaha
Aww Mr. Matt prepares the night snacks for you to continue doing an amazing job breastfeeding little Ms. Sage. 😭💕
I need a Mr. Matt in my life😫😫😫😞
That salad looks absolutely amazing I will be watching more of your videos you motivate me
Thank you for giving me food ideas! Recently I found out, spinach is on the dirty dozen list, among some other fruits in your video. So I will be substituting, hopefully it still tastes good!
Loved the snacks caddy! Definitely going to get one for when my 3rd baby arrives. Thank you!
That snack bar is the best I'm going to start doing that myself 😊 Thank you 🙂
Very awesome to have a partner who helps as he does! Very good video! Love to see what you suggest for a busy new mom breastfeeding!
Matt is such a great partner! I hope my husband cares and helps out as much as Matt. Love your sweet videos.
I’m hungrier postpartum now that I breastfeed than during pregnancy 💁🏽♀️
Same!
Hey! Can you link the more affordable blender please :)
Merry Christmas! Hope you all are having a restful holiday season.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!
Besides the point, but does anyone know the music playing in the first half of the video? It sounds so good
awww first Christmas with Sage, this must be such a special time for your family
Matt is great. I wish my husband would help me like this with my 2. You can eat and drink relaxed. I'm jealous I don't have time because everytime i eat or cook one of them is cryiing.
I have the same problem 😔
Same problem here. My husband is supportive but he is working full time. Great video but all I could think is where's the baby? I don't have 5 minutes to use bathroom without a crying baby so no way I could prep veggies and meals like this.
I found a bottle rack that is very convenient for travel.Koelin travel baby bottle drying rack set.6 IN 1.That is smallest,good for newborn
New dad here, just seeing how I can help my new mama. I shall bring on a snack caddy to our room :)
I'm definitely taking some pointers from this video...

Ahhh so helpful for me getting prepared for breastfeeding in a couple of weeks 🙏🏼 Thanks so much!
How far postpartum are you in this? How do you have the time or energy? New mom here feeling helpless
I was thinking the same thing - i couldn't have done any of these things, i barely had time or space to shower!
That salted cashew cluster ice cream is the best!! Sooo good!!
Everyone saying Nikole is lucky when Matt does normal stuff for her (a breastfeeding mom!) He's just as lucky for all SHE does.
This comment is everything. Thank you so much. I think it’s easy to oversee the work that’s involved in Breastfeeding on demand and pumping on top of that while healing physically and mentally form brith. Matt is amazing but so are all the mommas out there and they need the support more then ever.

Thank you ☺️ merry Christmas to you too!
I love Sage's sleep sack at the beginning! What brand is it?
What swaddle is sage wearing in the beginning?
What a beautiful family! Thanks for sharing your what I eat in a day videos. Merry Christmas!
U know u live in CZcams land when the hubby fills a "lunchbox" for breastfeeding mama. I mean its very sweet. Just rare. I'm kinda jelly actually
I've lost my appetite since I gave birth 3 weeks ago and my husband always cooks and makes sure I at least eat 3 meals a day.
Yes certainly CZcams land
You know there are caring husbands out there 😂 mine always makes me meals, cleans and helps me take care of the baby cause marriage and parenthood is 50/50
:'c doomed... im a single mom 😢
Mine helped me with whatever I needed. Maybe some need to pick better partners…
Hey Nicole !! Could you give me a link of your oils diffuser and also your smoothie glasses !! Love this video !!! Great that ur organized like that !! You will see it would help you à lot xoxox love from Montréal Canada
Can you please PLEASE please link the nursing chair and pillow
Oh my goodness, she's the sweetest! Merry Christmas!
Did you use a postnatal vitamin? If so, which brand do you recommend?
"snack caddy"...Nik...you just changed my life! Haha I need to implement this now
Omg that cashew ice cream is one of my favs for eating dairy free for baby.
I would like to know more about that chair/breastfeeding pillow at the 10 minute mark. Looks comfy!
Where did you get the cups you put your smoothie in I’ve been looking for them everywhereeeee
I love garden of life too. I took/take their vitamin code raw prenatal vitamins.
What was that chair you nursed in it looks so comfy
Great video! I wish I had videos like this ten years ago ❤️❤️ also Where did you get those awesome Christmas bed sheets?
i'm now realizing from watching videos like this i'm not eating nearly enough and that is probably exactly why i'm not producing enough milk
What’s the name of the pillow your baby is sleeping on?
Love this video can I ask which water filter you use?
I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant as of today and now I want Shrimp fajitas so bad! 🤤🤤
Did you gain weight eating the carbs and snacking? My 4th baby is 8 weeks old and I snack on carbs more than when I'm not nursing because I can't eat the dairy and chocolate (insert tears).

Love your robe and bra! Where did you get them?? they seem so comfortable and convenient for breastfeeding
Also your husband is the best! Where do you find him??? Haha. I love this so much.
What baby carrier is that? It looks amazing!
WHATS HERBAL COFFEE I BEEN NEEDING TO MAKE A SWITCH 🥰🙏
Your videos are inspires me to eat healthy .. so positive👍🏻
We agree, these videos are very inspirational!
Love the food ideas. Definitely going to try the smoothies. But fajitas are strip steak. So those are just simply shrimp tacos. Looks like a good recipe but thought I let you know the difference. ❤ never usually eat shrimp tacos but those look promising 😊

I have this exact same caddy, but Im definitely using it wrong! lol I will be putting my snacks in there from now on.
How do you call your felt snack bag? 😊 Seems handy and practical!
Amazon- diaper caddy
If you happy and you know it, clap your hands 🎶🎶 your reaction after your first taco bite lol
Omg stop. This is my first time on your video and clearly for a reason :30 seconds in I have to comment because my 8 month old daughters name is Sage ❤️❤️❤️ lol love it!
Another awesome vlog ! I am desperately waiting for birth story vlog. Please upload it 🌸 Sage is Adorable 🥰
I’ll most likely be posting it in the new year!
Hi, which nursing chair do you use?
For anxiety do you think eliminating gluten helps?
That’s cool you’re showing when you are breastfeeding
What should do if we had pigmentation during pregnancy ??
Omg the snack caddy killed me 😂😂🥰
Do you already have a video on non toxic or less toxic makeup?
I have one coming in January! My 5 min non toxic make up look ☺️

I’m so happy to hear!! We make them almost every week now because they are so easy and yummy
Sage is a beautiful name😍
how is matt cutting an apple with a butter knife? how?! ahha
Does Matt do Snack Caddy deliveries yet?!! Lol totally need that!!! I’m close, just down the way in SoCal hehe
I just got your cookbook. Oats hurt my stomach. What can I substitute?
What brand is your water bottle with the straw?! I’m looking for a good one. Loved the video! 🤗
It’s linked in my hospital bag blogpost ☺️
Nice content 👏🏾👏🏾🥰 new mommy in 3 days 🤞🏾
Thank you Nicole, I have been eating healthy and you have inspired me :) P.S Sage is so adorable hope she will row up to be like you.
What collagen powder you recommend, I click on your collagen link and nothing comes out
What's the water bottles Name/brand please?
How do you eat so much? I'm barely hungry & I'm at my 7 month mark. How do I increase my appetite? Nothing is appealing to me. 😓
Love the video! I gotta try making those bars. I did read that pregnant mamas should not consume protein powder though.
Why?
love your channel and where did you the caddy from if you could please tell me and thank you
That shrimp dish looked so good and so easy which is right up my alley
It’s a staple for us
Agreed! Shrimp is so tasty!
Omg where is that robe from?! 😍
Those bars look amazing, and so convenient!
Where did you get your baby carrier from that your husband was wearing ?
