Natural birth, epidural, c-section, VBAC, breastfed, formula fed... when a mom chooses the best for her baby, keeps them safe, happy, and healthy, that’s what makes her a good mom!
You’re an awesome mom and I love that you are encouraging moms to support each other!
El Osborne so true!! Babies need love and they have plenty of that!!😊
Absolutely agree! I was given backlash for having c-sections when my first was an emergency c section. I was told I should have gotten a 2nd opinion 😂😂😂😂.
I totally agree! The same thing happens when people plan a home-birth. People thought I was insane but two out of my three babies were born at home with zero complications because I researched the heck out of it beforehand and had two amazing midwives. My fear of hospitals resulted in a horrible experience with my first born and I swore i wouldn't repeat it. Informed decisions, made with love = good enough mum x
My baby was a micro preemie and was on a feeding tube (through his nose) for almost a year, one time while I was at the park with him, this lady came up to me and said "you know you should really try to breastfeeding instead" and OMG, i wanted to choke her because she had no idea how much i wish I could've, and even though I couldn't breastfeed I did pump breast milk for him to fortify it and he had trouble swallowing and other problems and I hated seeing him on a feeding tube but he had to be... Anyway....some people need to keep their comments to themselves!
Elena I. Same but my son had a gtube(his belly)
Ashlynn Galvan I hope he's doing well now, it's definitely hard.
How bizarrre that the lady thought her opinion actually matters. The 'rules' (or whatever) are very different for special needs babies. It's pretty obvious that a baby has a lot going on when they have a feeding tube!! What a rude person.
People really need to just mind their own business..
It's ok to throat punch people like that 😉💁
I think it’s so bizarre that anyone feels entitled to know how someone is feeding their child? What an odd question to feel like you need to ask a parent. Why should anyone care, as long as the baby isn’t malnourished I don’t feel like it’s any persons business. Just me! 🤷🏼♀️💁🏼♀️
Could not agree with you any more! Some of the questions that comes out of the mouths of strangers are jaw dropping.
No one should give a negative comment on how you feed your baby. It is your decision.
Haters gonna hate. You and Michael are fabulous parents.🍼
Did you mean placebo effect?
Melynda Cate or oxymoron? I’m not sure either 😂
i think she meant coincidence... lol she was saying how it mightve just been something else happening at the same time she used it
Who’s watching and not planning on being a mom for a while? 🙋♀️
Mikala Ann 🙋🏻♀️
I am watching and I am 51 and done with having babies!😻
me! i’m 16 and i love all her baby vids
whenever the day comes tho , ill def be rewatching ALL of these vids.
I’m not having kids but I still enjoy these videos
Totally agree! We love our Graco pack n play!
Alex,
I just had my first baby three weeks ago and early on needed to switch to formula. Not sure where the judgement comes from but it is super real. Just wanted to say how nice it was for you to stand up for the mommas who just want to do what’s best for their babies! I Really needed that today !!❤️
I can tell from all your videos that You and Michael are just Fantastic loving parents!!!! You both should be so very proud of yourselves.
Yes! The skip hop changing pad was my absolute favorite too! Great video!
Thank you for doing this! I have been watching a TON for my baby registry
When you don’t even have a baby but drop everything to watch the new video 😂😂
Leah Herod same lol 😂
I def do that too hahah
Omg yay!!! Thank you for this! And for making it 26 minutes long!🙌🏼🙏🏼
Your recommendations are all spot on! So glad to see you’re enjoying motherhood! It’s the best 💕
Regarding feeding I love what you had to say! I got so many nasty looks when I bottle fed my first. Those people had no idea what I went through giving it my all trying to breast feed. Even now my baby gets almost exclusively breast milk but we bottle feed her expressed milk because of some tummy issues she was having and it’s so strange to me how people zero in on that and form opinions when they have no clue about our lives or what’s really going on! Every Momma has to do what’s best for baby, herself and her whole family!
Definitely taking notes. We just made our registry today and this has given us a basic idea of what to get. Thank you Alex!
I can’t wait for your sweater to launch this week on good to be!!!
“You’ll be blocked, to be honest” yes, girl!
HAHA LOVE THIS TOO!
I’m new to your channel but just watching you talk about your son makes my heart so happy. The joy on your face is incredibly heartwarming and I can tell you’re truly enjoying being a mom. Congratulations to you and your husband on a beautiful baby boy ♥️
Very well said about the breastfeeding! You go girl 💪🏼💕
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for doing this! I'm preggers with my first and need help!
I totally agree on the Halo bassinet! We’ve been trying to make it work with our 5 week old but he just doesn’t love it. Even at 5 weeks I feel like he’s close to outgrowing it too! Also agree that fed is best! Every mom just wants to do what’s best for her child and has the right to make the decisions best for their family. You do you girl! Love seeing all of your suggestions and honest insight! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Oh and the gripe water has saved us as well! We use the same kind and it instantly takes care of his hiccups. Our son loves the taste too 😂
OMG I just commented on your vlog channel for a video like this! I've been waiting for it!!! Thanks so much for posting!!!!
Omg I completely feel you on the BF judgement. Like its your body and your baby. Nobody knows what your labor was like or postpartum period or what your day to day life is like or what your health is like. The decision to formula feed or breastfeed is individual. Nobody should judge either way. We moms try to do the best we can for our babies. Love your channel. I love your family dynamic. You're a great mom and wifey. I had a baby around the same time as you so thanks for all these recommendations. Its fun to see how different moms do things or what their favorites are. ❤
For this expecting momma this video helped A LOT! Thank you!!💗💗💗
Thank you so much for saying what you said about the mom hate! I got sick after my daughter was born and was unable to breastfeed after week 1 and people still shame me for this! I am so happy you addressed this!
Thank you for sharing. I’m due in Dec with my first and your pregnancy and post pregnancy videos have been very helpful.
such a good mommy friendly video 💓 wish i would’ve seen something like this when i had my little one ! love it 💓
Thanks so much for the tips.... even though I am not a mom, I will make sure to keep these in mind
I am a super fan of the Water Wipes & the new Pampers Pure wipes are just like them! They are great!
This was so helpful! I’m 3 months pregnant and it’s so refreshing to see some simple go to baby products like this. Thanks so much! Hope to see more baby videos! Maybe do a “How we adjusted to having a newborn” and talk about new sleeping habits, and all. Love ya 💕
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m about to have my baby soon and these videos are soo helpful!!
Hey Alex, can you do a video on here or your blog channel explaining your experience with insurance and the hospital when having a baby? Like what does it cover, what does it not cover, how much do you actually have to end up paying, do you pay it all in full once you are there or ahead of time? does the baby have a separate insurance plan? anything else you can think of? i know everyone's insurance is a little different but it would just be nice to know someone's perspective on this since there are not a whole lot of videos about this and insurance can be so confusing... what is your best advice? what questions do we need to ask? love your channel! JuJu is so cute!
Fed is best, thats my philosophy. I was a formula baby so I see nothing wrong. Thanks for the video and links!
I don’t think you understand how much better I feel hearing ur opinion about bottle feeding and seeing sooo many other ppls comments bc I bottle fed all 4 kids from my first at age 20 to my last 4 weeks ago at age 32 I’ve never felt comfortable with breastfeeding and never even tried bc I knew it wasn’t for me but I’ve always had a ton of guilt and pressure from society but thank u for ur honesty and making me realize that I’m not alone
I love this video!! I plan to get all the same goodies as you when I have a baby! You had such useful, helpful tools in this video! Thank you!! 🤗
Rewatching now because everything was so cute and we’re having ours this year. Loved all of the outfits. He’s been so cute from the start.
Fed is best mama! I breastfed for 2 1/2 months and it was seriously miserable for both Baby and I. Two weeks of not even being able to latch so I was pumping, then a nipple shield for a week, and after that she was NEVER satisfied no matter what i did and the only reason I held off on formula is because I felt SO guilty and why?? Once I switched to formula she was immediately a happier more satisfied baby. Only you can decide what’s best for you and Baby.
Yes, thank you for this! Im 19 weeks, and am trying to figure out what to buy!
I have the Graco pack n play with the bassinet and changing table on top and I LOVE it
I can't believe it's been two months! He is so precious. Also whoever is hating is ridiculous. Doing what's best for the baby and you it all that matters!
You’re the best Ashley, I always love your comments and appreciate your support! Thank you!
Preach, girl! Or shall I say great mom! Way to face the hate with class and assertion. Stay true to you! Thanks for sharing.
New mom to be here 🙋🏻♀️ this was really helpful thanks! I was so set on the Halo but now...have to rethink. I always found it surprising how judgemental strangers can be over another mother's choices! Blows my mind 🤯. You are doing a great job and like u said, it's your baby! 😂💕 Keep doing you ♥️New subscriber here!
this was a great video! Thanks for being honest about the bottle feeding! Do you think you'll ever share with us your labor/delivery story?
All the baby videos please! 😍 I’m 35 weeks and can’t get enough of others baby videos. Your little bundle of joy is so cute!
Fed is best! I had a very easy and smooth breastfeeding journey with my two babes but I 100% love and support bottle feeding! I have seen so many mommies stress and struggle with breastfeeding and it breaks my heart. Sometimes it doesn’t work and that’s okay, it’s nobody’s fault!
I agree. I did both. My baby was breastfed for about 4 months and looooved it, and then I had to go back to grad school, so I switched her to formula. She’s a perfect 8 year old. So tired of these natzis and bullies. Mind your own business!! Omg!!
Thanks for comparing the graco to a halo!! I was looking for a comparison everywhere. This is super helpful as a first time mom to see a direct comparison between the two!
Loved this! Thank you Alex. I’m only 15 weeks but am preparing for our baby girl already!
I'm taking notes lol some great tips thanks so much! My husband was a big baby and I feel ours will be too, been thinking of getting the bassinet but now i'm reconsidering
Yes. The gripe water! So glad the question can stop now that you addressed it. Fed is best!
Thanks so much!
I love that you brought up the hate about formula vs breast feeding. I had a preemie baby and pumped as much as I could but she was not taking breast or bottle so they had to do a feeding tube for a while and then when we did end up being able to take her home and get her off the feeding tube she would get so frustrated with breast feeding or just fall asleep, so bottles were easier for her and then from stress my milk dried up. I get so much judgement and hate from even my own family members and it's only about what is best for you and your baby. I just want to thank you for bringing that up and it feels so good to be following someone who took a stand and is coming out and saying that her choice her choice and no judgment needed.
So I'm a new mommy and I'm loving every single one of your videos for baby essentials it very helpful and gives me a good understanding of what I need. Thank you for making these videos.
I loooove the halo swaddle! I've seen videos and they are so adorable. I have one on my registry.
I don’t even have a baby (nor am I even pregnant or trying) but I still felt as if this was super helpful for when I am in the baby supply market !!! 💗💗💗💗 gorgeous glow Alex!
I have been WAITING for this video! This pregnant mama thanks you!
I have a similar changing pad - they are great! I keep a gallon ziploc bag to put in in though because if you think about it - the side that lays down on whatever surface is what is facing outward once you fold it back up. So if you put it in your diaper bag the dirty side (especially if you’re using it in public restrooms) is touching everything in your bag - bottles, blankets etc 😣 So I put it in a bag to keep it from touching everything. Then at home I spray it down with disinfectant after we’ve been out for the day. I didn’t think of this in the beginning when I first started using it so I figured I’d share
what disinfectant do you use?
Jessica Barnett it’s by Seventh Generation. I get it at Target
All I used was a changing pad and never used his change table .. it was a complete waste of
Money! For your first child you buy so much stuff it’s crazy and majority you don’t even need.. you learn your second time around! That’s like clothes.. don’t ever buy too much of one size.. they grow so fast and never get a chance to wear half of it!
That brand Gripe water is at Target for 10.99. Just in case someone can't order on line and needs now.
Absolutely loveeee the mom videos! I’m 22 weeks and these videos just make me so excited! I will never understand why moms hate on other moms who don’t breast feed !!! Keep doing you! Love your videos
Love this video! As someone who is trying to concieve I love all the baby content!
This is sooo helpful! I’m having a boy in August and I was stressing over where he will sleep. I heard good reviews about the Pack N Play too. Thanks Alex!! ❤️
Love seeing all you pics. I want to do this video. My daughter is 9 months old but shes my 4th one so Ive def evolved and figured out what I actually like. Your looking so good by the way!
Love you so much I’m 20 and not planning on mom life for years to come but, new video gotta watch 😏😏💗 and I’m going to slowly move back to my lighter hair (I’m now black) and your hair is my hair inspo 😚
Amen on the ridiculousness of the hate moms give other moms about things like breastfeeding! It is such a personal decision. What works for one family may not work for another. We should be supportive of each other instead of being judgmental. 🤷🏼♀️ I love you guys! 💙 Keep up the great videos/vlogs. 💕💕💕
Fed is best! That baby is perfectly happy and healthy! You can tell how much he is loved! And I hated dr browns bottkes hahaha too many damn pieces 😂😂
AmberandEvelyn lol I hate Dr Browns pieces BUT i love the bottles..I do notice a difference when I use those and Medela
Jasmine Rideaux-Hernandez see I used those with my first daughter and she had colic so bad, would scream for hours at night it was so bad and no bottle or drops of any kind helped her, praying this baby doesn't have that problem.
AmberandEvelyn oh nooo...im so sorry..it hurts to see your baby in pain...theres always that small percentage of babies that will still get gas from those bottles😕
Love this video Alex! You look glowing as a mama! I’m so sorry people are giving you such a hard time for not breastfeeding, it’s a personal choice like you said. I breastfed my son for 15 months but it is NOT for everyone. We live in a world where formula can keep our babies just as happy and healthy, it’s basically magic. You keep doing what you’re doing, all that matters is that Julian has two parents who love him, which he has! The time continues to fly so soak it all in before they’re 2 like my son! I’m definitely going to check out that stroller holder organizer thing! I’m having twins in October/September and need more organization for my double stroller 😆 I LOVE watching baby videos so bring on some more!! Sending you lots of love from Okinawa!
Thank you so much, really appreciate your kind words! Aw twins, yay!!
i just found your channel and i can’t stop watching!
This is my first time on your channel but this video is soooo helpful!! I’ve watched several of these types of videos and this one has been the most informative.
thank you for this video!! very helpful
The Chico travel bassinet changed my life with my baby girl. It literally folds up into a easy, light travel bag. It’s great for trips to grandma and for the first couple months of needing baby super close by. After she grew out of it, we used our graco pack and play with bassinet insert also. Then it changed into the full playard until we got a bigger apartment for her crib.
And I actually preferred the playard, it just seemed easier. 👍
What you said about the pacifier is so smart I felt the same way when my son was a baby
Loved this and yes personal choice of how you feed your baby. I do not have kids but have been around both camps on feeding. I learned that one main reason to breastfeeding is your milk have a certain nutrient that only you can give to your baby . Anyway you are such a good mommy. You didn’t mention a baby monitor. Do you use one?
Oh my goodness our sound machines are everythinggggg for our boys - they’re now 3 & 1. Could not live without it! They both sleep in darkened rooms w/ sound machines for naps and nighttime. Total life saver!
I’m so glad you made this! I’m 17 weeks and have watched sooooo many of these because they’re so helpful. One video I saw recently was what I USED in my Hopsital bag and I thought that was super helpful too, so if you’re looking for another mom-type video to make...I’d watch that!
So helpful of you to make a video like this! I am almost 32 weeks and I was debating on buying the swaddlers or not but you answered my questions on them and will be purchasing :)
Thank you for this video! My 3 month old baby chokes and spits up so often and I use the tommee tippee bottles so I’m going to try the dr. Browns bottles! I just ordered them on amazon, thanks Alex!!
You and MissLizheart been so helpful with these videos.!! Thanks for being so detailed about everything. I’m 37 weeks today and we were thinking of getting a BabyBjorn bassinet but I’m afraid she’ll grow out of it way too fast and everyone seems to be loving packnplay sets so much, we may just have to go with it.
P.s. Placebo Effect 💕
Kate's Ordinary Life yes ! They're the best. I'm 37 weeks too and they literally have helped so much. Glad I'm not the only one !
Kate's Ordinary Life My son is 2.5 months as well and I love the halo bassinet I don’t see him growing out of it anytime soon so I’m unsure what she meant. It literally sits on your bed which is so convenient and safe!
IM ALSO 37 WEEKS, WILL BE 38 THIS WEEK. IM HAVING SO MUCH PAIN … HAVE YOU LADIES FELT THAT YET??
I once in while feel a little bit of sharp pain down there that lasts a second or so...researched and it seems it's just my princess getting comfortable there and getting ready. Overall, healthy eating, staying active and good sleeping help me throughout my pregnancy and it's going very well. P.S. I shared a video a few weeks ago "How to make 3rd trimester a breeze" hope it helps xoxo
Kate's Ordinary Life im in extreme pain i have to breathe like im going to push !! Good luck ladies & thank you will def look at the vidro
Almost 38 weeks with my first baby. I had been waiting for this video! Thanks Alex! Please do what's in my diaper bag next.
Loved this video! Very helpful!
Such a cute baby!!! He's the perfect mix of you both!!😍😍😍
Placebo effect. Love this video. Lots of great information!!
Omg you so sweet..❤️❤️Tnx for sharing ur knowledge 😍😍😍
You look STUNNING!!😍😍💛💛
I'm not a mom but I still love watching you!!!! Congrats on your son!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
It's so funny...I'm not even a mom but ever since it was announced you guys were having a baby..I was so excited for you guys....and even before that...I followed a lot of mom channels...it really does show me that it doesn't matter the content someone is posting...it's if you have a connection with the persons personality...I hope that makes since
Thank you! More videos please ❤️
Obsessed with our pack n play!! I debated getting a bassinet forever and I am so happy we got the pack n play. We have the 4 in 1 Graco as well and we use almost every part!! We use Pampers as well, we tried Honest brand diapers and Huggies but so far Pampers diapers are our fav! So happy for you and your cute little fam👪🐶❤️
Love your videos. This really helped although, I don’t have children but it helps me with my nephews :)
We loved the halo bassinet, but you’re right it is super heavy. We also have the graco pack and play he’s still sleeping with me, but soon he’ll be sleep trained to be put on the crib. I’m still breastfeeding and it is tough, going 6 months strong ! I totally believe though that it doesn’t matter how Baby is fed as long as he/she is super happy and healthy.
I love watching these type of videos even though I'm not a mom 💕💕
Loved this video Alex! I feel the same way that you do about breastfeeding, so many people have judged/still judge me and it's so hurtful! I loved everything that you shared today!
Placebo effect! And amen for calling out people giving you hate. People are so opinionated, everyone meeds to just do what works best for them and their baby. Love this video!
Ha ha, my youngest baby is 22 years old but I still enjoyed watching this 😃👍
FED is best! No questions asked! Sometimes you try as hard as you can and it just doesn’t work! I HATE how people judge moms for doing something or not doing something! Being a mom is hard but so rewarding and we need to be supporting each other not tearing each other down!
whats fed?
cutieeepieeXO she’s saying as long as the baby is fed that’s all that matters lol
gmariexo1018 lmfaooo i thought it stood for something 😐😂😂😂
cutieeepieeXO same because of caps😂🤣
This was super helpful Alex! I’m due in exactly a month, and I’m now packing my hospital bag. My baby shower was yesterday and I had registered for the halo! I didn’t receive it as a gift and now I’m kinda glad! Lol
One of your best videos!
Thank you for all the info. Its nice to get different opinions because im trying for my first and Ill never know what works for my baby until they are born. So having different options is nice.
Im having a baby boy soon and this video has helped a lot! Keep them coming. ♥️
I just made the decision last week to go with a Pack n Play only and took the Halo off my registry. Glad I did - thank you for the honest feedback!
You guys are great don’t listen to people who comment on what they don’t know
My kids are 16 yrs and 18 yrs old. People judged even back then. He’s happy and healthy . You’re both doing a great job. I don’t have babies anymore but I love watching You guys. Thanks
