It’s totally normal and good for babies to need their mama almost constantly! As a nanny I’ve found baby wraps to be amazing when the baby is fussy and needs to be held but you want to have your hands free to do things!
Thank you for sharing your life with Yuna with us! She's so cute! Being a new mom, especially away from family, seems so exhausting and rewarding all at once, and you're doing it so well!
As a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology, I would like to say you're an awesome mama and doing a great job. Your higher pitch, elongated vowels "Hiiiiii", exaggerated facial expressions, repetition of words, narration of routines, overall joyful tone, in other words your way of speaking to your baby, is perfectly fine. The critics in the comments can kick rocks.
Research on "baby talk"/"motherese"/infant-directed speech as a positive influence on word recognition (Singh, Nestor, Parikh, & Yull, 2009), utterance length (Venuti, de Falco, Esposito, Zaninelli, & Bornstein, 2012), understanding of language (receptive language) (Perryman et al., 2013), and overall language development (Majorano, Rainieri, & Corsano, 2013).
Lol. Some of the comments make me L O L!!! I am a grandma now, but I remember when my first baby was born, let me tell you, she never saw anything but me, her dad, & my arms! Lol. Until the next baby came along. And she grew up to be the most independent strong woman I know. Each mama is an expert on her baby! Please always trust yourself and your instincts. You will always know what’s best for your family. You all are so full of love….she is a very lucky sweet baby girl!!💝
My first baby was "easy" because she was content to just sit in her swing etc for long periods of time (turns out we learned 8 years later she is autistic , so that may be why ...)
With each of my other 3, they did fuss and want to be held more but things still had to get done! So they spent a LOT of time in the Ergo 😅 I just took them along to cook, do laundry, clean, eat etc and that Ergo was a lifesaver !
When they're able to sit up on their own and hold toys, I found they were happy to play on their own longer from then . It does get easier !
Is there a MOMMY AND ME time playdates or clubs there?? That's an excellent way to get out of the house and meet other mom's with babies the same age, you make new friends and share experience and get other mom's advice on parenting, structure, recipes, and how to plan your day as a new mom. ❤ I think your doing everything right your going in the right direction, you both are awesome, caring parents 😊 I would love to see a video of the baby meeting your husbands parents!! Your daughter is so precious and beautiful ❤️ I really miss that age.
Yuna looks like her dad!
I recently taught a class called LENA start in the U.S. about how to facilitate baby's speech development during the early years. I think it's awesome how much you talk to her and describe your daily routines! I know its hard to break the habit of using baby talk but remember she is already learning language now by listening to both of you! Its important to make sure you are pronouncing words clearly and correctly even when you change your pitch to be higher for her. It will benefit her in the long run, especially being bilingual!
I was thinking the same. I never spoke baby talk. Didn’t feel it was good for development. That being said. Sorry if that sounds critcal. But, I am very happy for Kelly and her journey as a wife and mom in Japan.
Well damn, I just commented about this lol...If you read my comment, there's an interesting story about a family I knew, whose GROWN ASS kids only spoke in baby talk. And they still do as adults to this day.
Thank you for shedding light on this. It was on my mind a lot but wasn’t sure how to communicate it. I had to keep this in mind with my nephew.
Thank you driving me crazy, I have to quit videos every time.
@@MyBodyIsMyTemple From what Kelly replied to me, you shouldn’t give her any advice whatsoever bc she didn’t ask for it 😂 She claims her parents talked to her in “baby talk” and she turned out fine. Well, she was also not bilingual soooo….if she wants her kid to have issues speaking English, keep it up. 🫠 is it really worth it? I guess so 🙄
Gosh reading these comments give me high blood pressure :D ppl giving advice no one ever asked for and pretending to be some sort of experts. I think these ppl have too much time in their hands and should probably do something about their own lives to be happy. Kelly you are doing great and as a first time mom living away from my home country, I love following your journey. Japan is amazing and your baby girl is gorgeous xx
Really enjoyed this one ! Your daughter is adorable and Mom & Dad are doing great. Our kids left the nest a long time ago so we now live vicariously through you folks, and our grandkids of course. Take Care .
Really like these regular days vlogs, they’re all still a bit different because your days are a bit different each time too
I was just thinking exactly the same as "Journey in Japan" re it is good to talk a lot with your baby but not in a baby talk way! Yuna will learn much better by you always talking with her but at the same time watching your pitch! And by the way, Yuna is beautiful!! ☺️ From a 77 yr old Grandma in Ontario, Canada 🤗💜
I tried to nicely tell her this but she replied and said she wasn’t asking for advice about her life. Oh and I needed to “chill” bc her parents spoke in baby talk to her and she turned out fine 🫠
Hair loss is normal about 3-4 months after you give birth. It’s hormonal. I had it too, and I didn’t know what was going on until I asked a hairdresser.
I remember after my daughter was born, that my hair thinned out a bit too. I was told to stay on my prenatal vitamins during postpartum. It's from the hormonal changes as they regulate back to normal too. You'll find that during Menopause it happens too, but it does grow back. The baby has a great smile, good job mom and dad! I'm glad you speak to her in both English & Japanese. It's the best time to teach both languages to her, as a baby. When my daughter was 6 months old my tummy began to really decrease on it's own. I bottle-fed my girl, so it wasn't from nursing. You look great! Baby swings are a godsend to put baby in while you are trying to get some things done, and swaddle her in a blanket.
Happy Tanabata Festival, Miss Kelly, and a hardworking mother to take care of your baby child too.
Yuma is so beautiful. I have one tip on solids-if you start with fruit, she may not want to eat any veggies. Rice and barley cereal are easy on baby’s stomach but wheat is not.
Yuna is the cutest! Enjoy every moment you have with her.
I've always loved dinner time with my family. No matter how many members of the family were at home, my family would always sit down and eat dinner together.
❤ just seeing you guys makes. My day
When my daughter was Yuna’s age, it helped me to place her bouncy chair at the level of the kitchen. This way she followed everything I did, and it kept her interested for far longer time compared when her chair was on the floor. I had then an island kitchen, so it was easy to put chair there. Not sure if that’s manageable in your set up, but just thought to share my experience. 😊🤗
She looks like her daddy. Y’all are so blessed to have that little angel. 👍😊
It's sooo cute to see how beautiful family you are!❤❤
She is Absolutely Beautiful and You are both Amazing Parents! Every Day is A Gift 💖
Aww I love watching your videos. I enjoy these baby /family time vlogs. It takes me back to when my two boys were babies ☺️ How cute is Yuna and She is growing so fast. Enjoy being a mum. It’s the hardest but most rewarding job in the world ❤
When you spoke about your anxieties and how you feel bad about not playing with her 24/7… it reminds me so so much about how I felt when my baby was around 2-3 months. He just turned 8 months now. I remember feeling (and TBH still do a bit) very guilty for leaving him in his bouncer or rocking bed. At that age, all they do is just lie down there. When he cried, I’d picked him up. When he was just lying there, I felt so bad. I felt like I should do something to “engage” him. My friend had to come over and talked some sense into me. I’m a lot better now - also cos he’s older now and can play independently. It’s a learning process and when you realise how much your baby has grown, it’s so fulfilling.
I’m glad he can play independently! I’m looking forward to that 😆 it’s been so tough
Her smile is the cutest!
As a nurse we are taught to teach parents start baby on iron fortified oat, barley, or rice cereal after 4 months, 6 months is better. Then add strained veggies, meat, then fruits last, and one at a time. We are taught its best to start with veggies and add fruit later, because fruits are so sweet. Add each type of new food one at a time, every 5 to 7 days to watch for reactions. At 6 months can add teething crackers, and 8 to 9 months finger foods. Preparing for the next stages of development is called "anticipatory guidance" in nursing school. You are doing great 😊🎉
It sounds like so much 😭 Japan is so different here
@@KellyMorita ahh, i didn't mean to overwhelm you, 😅
Take it one step at a time, and there is no "right" way. However you do for baby will be all good!
Kelly, your little girl is so beautiful. Cherish these days. It seems that in the blink of an eye they are grown. ❤️😘❤️
❤She is so cute! And I think you are doing a wonderful job! And it really gets easier when they are a little older 😘
Yuna is gorgeous and getting big! Have a great time on your upcoming trip😊❤.
As for tips for starting Yuna on solids, you can save money if you buy food, blend it up in a blender to get to a good consistency for her, then freeze the left overs in ice cube trays that way, makes it super easy to feed her, just pop out a cube and defrost it and feed it to her. Not sure about in Japan, but I know here in the states baby food can be pretty expensive. Also would suggest trying only one new food per week, as you never know if she has any allergies.
Oh my goodness thank you for showing us Yuna, she's soooooo, beautiful shes gotten so big 😢 I want to vlog and tried to start a couple of years ago - but the older my now 3 year old daughter got the harder it became 😂 nursery will come before you know it and you'll have time for yourself again, until then.. enjoy the madness like I have 😅 before you know it they're old and miserable like my 14 year old 😂 lots of love from England as always 💖
Am totally psyched he talk back
I had to come back and check on your channel to see how you’re doing. I’m so happy the baby is here -healthy, happy, and beautiful!! I completely agree with you on technology, but not at the dinner table. I too grew up with tv and all the classic movies. Gosh, I loved the holiday tv specials like “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”! 😂 You are also a wonderful storyteller with all your vlogs going back years. And you’re an awesome Mom!! Best wishes to you and your family! ❤
Do whatever you like. The camera loves you girl. I appreciate your many many vlogs.
Beautiful video ❤
The American Academy of Pediatrics have really good guidelines about types of foods, consistency of foods and age of introduction. The idea is that the food texture must be consistent. Ie no mixed textures in one spoonful.
Secret to eating, is putting the baby in the seat. And it’s okay if she fusses a little it’s ok. Put on those videos you talked about with fun singing. Babies go through phases. This might change, but I remember the stress. I couldn’t even have a shower when I got back from work without my daughter screaming in my moms arms. She was so content with my mom when I wasn’t there but the minute she saw me would scream and demand to be picked up. As a health care professional, taking a shower was so important prior to touching to her when I got home. I had to tell myself it was okay, but it was super stressful. Hang in. There. You are doing a great job.
She is getting so big! So beautiful 😊 it was nice to hear your opinion on screen time. I grew up in a house hold with tv and movies all the time. I do let my two year old daughter do screen time but only breakfast and lunch.. trying to quit letting her have it at the table . It’s so hard to get rid of it now. She throws a fit!! Lol but it’s all about moderation… are you still working or just a stay at home mommy at the moment. I’m a stay at home mom but in the us. I know in Japan the maturity leave is way longer. I hope your able to still get an income while home with ur baby girl.. it’s been so hard on only one income… day care and babysitters are so dang expensive in California. Stay well 😊
Your baby is so beautiful!! My baby (also half Japanese) likes rice + boiled egg + avocado + steamed broccoli all mushed together and a tiny dash of soy sauce. Protein, helthy fat and carbs are all in there.
Totally agree about no technology during dinner etc. We have a similar rule -no technology at the dinner table and it's great.
Yuna is so cute ....... 🥰😍
When my daughter was like that i imvested in a baby carrier. It was so much easier. I ate and she got mommy cuddles
She looks like her daddy!
Even when Yuna-chan is being fussy wussy she still such a cutie...
It's been super hot and muggy here too the last week it's been insane
You doing great job just make stuff in advance and it will be easier
I just thought how you always say how anxious you are about raising your baby. Maybe Yuna can feel that and that's why she wants your attention so much? no judgment at all, you are doing wonderful! :) Was just a thought crossing my mind. Keep up the good work :)
"An old woman thought she was cute' - *Everybody loved that*
She is so beautiful
Im kind of with you on screens number blocks sole reason my kids are good at math. We do now and then allow in a restorant. Mostly if its a very long wait for food so when waiting they can be but not when eating. We play music at home during meals. My kids also game due to skills it gives
Hi Kelly! Where did you buy the blanket-pajama?? Thanks for sharing!
The brand is called Nested Bean
Do you have a mobile toy that attaches to the bouncy chair? Maybe she needs toys she can play with to entertain herself while you are getting things done ;) That's what I did with my children. We even had excersaucers that they could almost stand up in and turn around to play with all the toys(looked like a walker, but it was stationary). I just kept buying new toys when they got bored ;)
Does she get tummy time. She’s so beautiful. It’s like you have become her only source of entertainment and that will not be good for you or her in the long run. She will become bored daily and has to be comfortable with that. You’re a great mom. We’re all learning.
Have you tried a front facing baby carrier for when you have things to do, but baby just is NOT having it? These weren't really popular when I had kids, but my younger mom friends swear by them.
It's important to speak clearly and normally with children. No need for baby talk as we know they learn better through standard language.
Nope not true
Hi Kelly! We sent you an email a few weeks ago! Have you seen it? Looking forward to hearing from you! 💜🥰
My daughter and son were just completely different as babies and toddlers
My first child (daughter) was amazing bar getting up every 2 hour to breastfeeding she was great, she's very advanced like talking, walking at such a young age, she knew about danger early too like she wouldn't climb or go near the cooker because she knew she'd get an ouchie.
My son on the other hand I couldn't put him down for 5 minutes without him crying, I couldn't cook, eat or clean properly without him wanting me and only me he wouldn't even sit with his dad or grandma. When he was 2 it got worse, he's lazy so he was late with talking, potty training, and he is just a menace in general 😅 he has no sense of danger, so he throws things, bites his sister, climbs on the table, knocks things over on purpose, turns on my hobs on the cooker and a lot more business he's now three years old and at nursery so he's understanding a bit more and has calmed down a lot, thank god 😂
I think you're doing a brilliant job and remember to just keep talking to friends and family to vent on how you're feeling and also have a little cry now and then because it releases pressure instead of bottling it up.
This sounds like my 2 yr old son lol
Is that typical of a lot of little boys? I don’t know but it seems like it. My nephews were like Dennis the Menace. 😂😂
Love your videos. Only thing (please don’t take this wrong) is the baby voice. Better to speak normally to babies as they speak and repeat what hear. My daughters and I never spoke in baby talk My daughters spoke well and early and all three grandkids as well! Enjoy you and the family
There is so much unsolicited advice in this comment section. Most don’t even do their research either before commenting.
It’s ok lol I’m just letting most of it go but some of it has been helpful to some degree :)
Your doing great mama! The newborn phase is always tough. Once she turns 4 months she will regulate better with sleeping, etc. She seems fussy maybe because of gas? My baby girl got hiccups nonstop and I gave her gripe water multiple times a day. Fennel tea in small amounts in the bottle also work like a charm. Solid Starts is a great resource for feeding solids. They have a website, IG and phone app. You start with one thing at a time for a few days, like pureed carrots, squash, bananas, etc. Then upgrade to starches (rice, wheat) and proteins (meats, fish, eggs but could be possible allergens so feed with caution). Some cultures even start solids as early as 4 months. You just need to read her cues and see if she expresses interest in food (looks at you when you eat, tries to grab at food, etc)
A baby wrap bouncing with baby helps. Or leaving them to cry it out.
Cry it out is stressful for babies and just teaches them if they cry their caregiver isn’t coming so there’s no point.
💕🥹👶🏻
How do you get anything done without just pinching those cheeks all day?? She's so cute!
For your babies dry skin I cannot recommend more melons and grapes in their diet. Skin has the ability to care for itself from the inside out. My skin has never been more glorious since introducing more fresh fruit in my diet every day! Even with all the water I drank, it never mattered til I added structured water into my diet (fruit)
Wear a tummy wrap, it really works and improves your core in the long run.
Unfortunately for diastasis it can make things worse
@@KellyMorita Might be worth having a look into it. My partner had diastasis and the bamboo belly wrap she used helped her recover tremendously.
Baby is probably HOT try putting her to nap in a short sleeve onesie . See how it goes. Just think of the clothing they had her in at the hospital. Just a thin breathable sheet, shirt and a diaper. Sometimes the "cute" clothes bother them a lot
Not hot but thank you. There’s air conditioning on
Natural way is best not with tech
can’t watch because of your baby voice
What a strange and unnecessary comment. Grow up
Adorable baby, but your baby talk is too much.
Let her cry. She knows if she cries you will pick her up. She has to learn to self soothe. Unless there is something wrong let her cry.
That’s the worst advice
that's not true. Baby's can't manipulate you. This advice is something from the nazi era where people let baby's cry to sleep
babys this young are not able to selfsooth. they need to learn strategies and that is what parents are for. letting a baby scream and cry just traumatizes them, thinking they are alone
Mashed banana s rice cereal and formula make that in bottle with the nipple open more. Or try with a spoon. Your hair falling out is your thyroid either too fast or too slow.
Girl you gotta stop talking to her in that baby talk. Here's why: She's listening and learning, even tho she's young. I used to know a very poor couple who was mentally ill. Well, unfortunately they bred like rabbits and had about 8 kids. The mom thought it was cute to ALWAYS talk to her kids in baby talk. Fast forward 10 years, all the kids had a speech impediment bc they too, would talk IN BABY TALK. It was hilarious yet so sad at the same time. I lived in a poor part of the US (South). This family was like our neighborhood freak show. I don't know you personally nor do I know what goes on when the camera is off. I just thought I would point that out. It is so important to speak to your baby like an adult. You don't want her learning the wrong way to speak English. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, I have been watching you for years and I really enjoy your videos. Take care.
Lol my parents baby talked me all the time and I’m fine lol. just cause you see it in ten mins of a video doesn’t mean I always do it. Also speech impediments could be from ANYTHING not baby talk. A new study came out saying baby talk actually HELPS children and their speech. Mrs Rachel is also an example of the high pitch speaking and baby chatting. Lots of articles on this. Also my husband never uses it and if kids are surrounded by other adults who don’t (daycare etc.) they would be fine. I know CZcamsrs who used different words with their kids for diff things and they ended up FINE So chill 🤗 and please don’t give advice where I never asked for it. Thanks for respecting that in the future.
@@KellyMorita You may want to read your comments because I'm not the only one who pointed it out. Like I said in my comment, I realize this is a 10 min video and you can't judge someone based off of it. I didn't mean to piss you off. Chill.
@@KittySkeedSo you compare her behavior to your local "freak show", give her completely unsolicited advice as a total stranger on the internet, and then are surprised when she asks you to stop? It sounds like you have some social boundary issues lol
