#FirstTimeMom #Lessons - Jak na to + styl
my baby is just 2 months old, one thing I learned is to trust my husband and compliment him on how well he is with the baby, it boost his confident on taking care of the baby and he is better than me now.
Iris Li I’ve been trying to compliment my husband too, it helps me and it helps him 💕
This is a great suggestion. A complete game-changer.
Susan is a rare combination of beautiful and successful, while also being extremely relatable and non-judgmental. She has an incredible, welcoming, kind energy.
I want to add something.. people are going to give you crap no matter what you do. Weather it’s the recommended way or your own style, just remember that YOU are the parent and don’t give in to whatever pressure people put you under.
*whether
Was there ANY point in correcting me?
@@kiarathomas6860 Yes. The "weather" is the temperature outside, "whether" is a conjunction.
I would also add to this that you don’t need to explain to people why you are doing things they way you are. I feel like I’m always having to defend my choices to my mother in law. You don’t need to waste your breath on people that don’t really want to listen.
You can only say this up to a point. Some people actually don't know what they're doing and won't admit it, which only leads to child neglect or abuse. We can't keep acting like every parent knows what's best for their child because it's just not true. There are too many cases of infants dying due to terrible parents. Sure, being a snob is wrong and if someone's actually trying it is best to shut your mouth. But if you see something seriously wrong, speak up. Otherwise, you also take blame for that child becoming yet another tragedy.
“ I felt like I had to be there or my baby might not make it” 😂 same girl, same
I have to say, this is gold. I immediately shared this to my best friend who just became a first time mom the other day. This is exactly the stuff I learned with my daughter that I applied with my son. Especially the social life thing. Most of the time the first year, you just stay in your house and stick to your baby’s schedule because an overtired baby is a pissed off, not sleeping well baby. A year or two is a year or two. You have their whole lives to do all of this stuff, I totally believe in just giving them a schedule and sticking to it! Oh and my son was the same way, just kick kick kick at random times, he is a great sleeper, don’t worry!!!
I’m 19 and I *love* watching your pregnancy/baby related videos 😂
I am not pregnant or have kids but I love watching Susan's pregnancy/baby videos too 😂
Veronica Ivanova me tooooo☺️
I'm 16 😂
I'm 14
That husband point you mentioned is hilarious because I can see myself doing that to my husband. I will avoid it =) Thank you!
Lampadas Horde oh gosh I did this hardcore and still am! So hard not to, it’s a learning experience lol
Same here.. I also do that..
Very true, my husband got upset with me for telling him how to hold the baby and stuff, UH?!😳 imagine that! Men can be sensitive about these things so be gentle it’s true let them figure things out.
I am currently expecting my first baby! 💛 I'm 10 weeks pregnant! So I'm trying to learn as much as I can! Thanks for the great video! Very informative! 🥰🥰
Daniele Amani congratulations on your pregnancy!
Congratulations!!! It's stressful at times but omg it's so rewarding your baby will love u so much and it'll all be worth it
You posted this on the day my little boy was born! I have to say that I was really good at letting my husband figure things out pretty early on. Now 7 weeks in and he is essential to my sanity. I’ll pump at night and he will care for our baby for 6 hours straight through at night so that I can rest without disturbance. If we let our partners be a part of it they can really step up and show us they ARE capable. ❤️
You are completely right about the social life never being the same! And we did the same about judging other parents before being parents ourselves! Our Friday nights are now spent putting our son to bed at 8pm and watching tv on the couch. We try to do what we can when we can. Also you are so right about trying to be by the book in the beginning. As a new time parent I was so anxious all the time about getting everything right so I wouldn’t mess up my baby for the future and I ended realizing I got to follow his lead and take things day by day and try to take some pressure off myself. Everything ends up working out in the end. ❤️
This was exactly what I needed to watch as a 39week pregnant first time mum, Thankyou for sharing all of your knowledge xx
Honestly the best pregnancy video I’ve seen so far. Very helpful!
Great video. As a FTM I almost drove myself crazy trying to do everything by the book. I spent soo much time googling only to find 6 different answers to 1 question. It became much better when I finally just did what worked best for us and stopped trying to follow the "rules". I wish all FTM are told this and have it repeated often. Do what works best for you and your family!
Thank you so much for being so honest about cosleeping and how you’ve done everything. It’s hard for people to be honest and share when others are so judgmental.
I agree with you 100%.. Being a first time mom is a journey with lots of hardships and also many overwhelming moments.. Being prepared for everything is the key sometimes..
I’m 23 weeks with my first baby, I needed this video! Thank you.
I loved this Susan!!! You are such a great mother and so great at helping other woman find comfort in the unknown of Parenthood!
For me the hardest part was the lack of sleep during the first month. My baby is pretty chill and was sleeping well, however I was not. I had terrible anxiety and I would just lay awake and worry about everything that could go wrong while he was sleeping. It was really bad and literally helpless. But like everything else it passes and I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that.
Good advice! As someone with anxiety and not being able to sleep sometimes I can see this totally being me 😂
Susan 100% spot on. You are a great mama (first time and second time) 👍🏻💪🏻
I had a baby with reflux and I also had a very complicated C-section that got infected. Having all the baby clothes washed and ready to go, especially when my kid was going through 10 to 12 outfits a day, was a lifesaver for me. It was hard enough for me to walk back and forth to the nursery to change the baby's clothes, I can't imagine having to do laundry also.
Why so many outfit changes
With my husband and I, it was the opposite. He was the one giving me anxiety. It drove me crazy whenever he would stand over me like a drill sergeant while I changed our son’s diaper or fix his hair, etc. I became very resentful towards him.
And I definitely agree with the social life part too. Once I started saying no to invites, life became easier for me. Schedules are a must with my son.
I’m currently 31 weeks and single. And I’m freaking out. This video helped a lot. Thank you.
aguadalupedo you will be a great mom! I watched lots of videos while I was pregnant too. Being a mom is hard but it will also be the best thing that ever happened to you. And remember it’s ok not to love every second of it. There is lots of ups and downs just like regular life.
You saved me with your comment about letting go!! I thought it was only me! You’ve eased my mind and for that I adore you. I used to get angry that he’d sleep through her crying and seemingly didnt calm her like I did. It’s such a hard lesson to swallow as a mother and a woman. Thanks for this honesty 😌❤️
that was actually a really helpful video. I'm due in 9 weeks and i think this has really changed my expectations and feel a little more ready for this munchkin to come along. Thanks Susan :)
You speek from the bottom of my heart!!! You are so right i completely agree with you! Thank u for this video
2 weeks till my due date and this video couldn’t be more perfect to watch
Nicole Nezbitt Truth About Vaccines Docu series 💯❤️
5 weeks and 3 days left till I have my daughter! 💖 Thanks for all the tips. Super helpful.
You gave really good pointers for new parents 😇.... God bless you and your beautiful family with happiness, health, and laughter ✨
I just found out I was pregnant 4 days ago after trying for 2 months prior and we’re so excited!! This was really helpful : ) I love how calm you are and the quality of your videos is great!
I loved this video! I have a 17 month old and am 18 weeks pregnant with our 2nd. You reminded me of everything I worried about the first time around that I now look back on proud that I made it through. I’m nervous and excited for round 2! And everything you said really resonated with me as a first time, soon to be 2nd time, mom. 💗
excellent video and insight!
My (first) baby is 7 months old and I totally agree with these...I still feel like I don't sleep at night thinking about my baby
100% agree, I just want to add for the New moms... you are the mom, it’s your body, it’s your baby, you are the one dealing with a new life 24/7, if you hava a vaginal delivery, csection, breast feed, formula... Gosh you are doing great 👍🏻 Don’t listen to the ones that “know everything” or it was better this or that way... your baby and your husband need a happy and stress free Mom!
It took me 2 weeks PP to stop listening and those 2 weeks were hard... now 17 weeks pregnant of baby #2 😍 and Love all your videos Susan!!
This is the video I needed before my first baby! Agree 3000%!!! Love you
Totally agree with everything in this video. Especially the bit about anxiety and your hubby...Same thing happened with me!
This is hands down the best advice yet....🙌🏼
This video is great! My first is 6 weeks old and I wish I’d heard these words of wisdom before she got here. I definitely gave my husband anxiety but learned to back off quickly. Thankfully. Good job on the content!
I will be a second time mom in a couple weeks! I wish someone told me all of this during my first pregnancy. And I wish I would have been more open to other mom’s SOUND advice. I can say the way I handled my first baby was completely unorganized and needless to say unstructured and messy. I had no direction. But I also realize how much more humble I am for pointers this second time around.. This is truly gold. And I will be using these tips. Thankyou
Thank you for being real. A lot of things come at you first with your first baby.
Love this video. Yes it took a lot to accept my new life and I couldn’t be the social butterfly I used to be!
First time mam since 10months and absolutely agree with you on everything ! Thank you great video
#7 that was exactly me with my first kid!!!! I was literally hovering over my goodness! I have let go more with the second kid and my husband seems to spend more time chillin with the baby. Definitely the anxiety levels have reduced. #7 is so important to be aware.
I love your baby videos! I’m so excited to see your baby girl
I can watch your videos all day! I just love learning so much from you ☺️
Hey! I'm from the U.K. and I'm 5 months pregnant with my first child. I honestly don't know what to expect, and I like being mentally prepared. Your video has helped me soooo much! And I've subscribed. Thank you very much for the advice!
I love that shirt! I can’t stop looking at it!
This is such an informative video for 1st time moms, thank you so much for sharing!
This is great. The points are informative and yes nobody mentions stuffs about it in particular. I am glad you discussed them. Thanks and kudos to new mommies 👍😍
The warmth thing! My ped said just to add one layer more than you'd wear. I see so many babies in the middle of summer in long sleeves with a heavy blanket and I just cringe. Also, for my child she was a little heater (still is). And I learned that she always felt warm no matter what but that her back near her neck was the perfect spot to reeeeally understand if she was too hot or too cold. Her hands were always freezing, her belly always super warm but her neck was a perfect indication.
As a first time mom, this was absolutely EXACTLY what I needed to watch right now. I found myself hovering over my husband, I finally learned to let it go and let him have his thing. Also breastfeeding! Just know it’s now as easy some people make it seem but don’t feel pressured either to feel like that’s how you have to feed your baby. I remember when we seen a lactation nurse she recommended to pump Atleast 8 times a day on top of nursing! Your sanity and health is very important. I put so much pressure on myself to do both I was not getting proper sleep.
Same here ❤️
I totally agree everything in this video... Very true to wat u said about’ How many of u love watching her videos?!
I'm expecting my first baby and I really appreciate all the info you provide but while watching all I can think about is "Oh my god! I love her make up & hair style" It's very fresh and minimalist. just beautiful
Best tips ever!!thank you♥️another 2 month to go for me!
I love how real this is!
Thank you, this was very helpful. I’m buying everything you recommending!!
You are so smart wow thank you so much! I learned so much from this video
I'm so glad I found this video. I was due December 17th, but now we are just hoping I can make it to be induced November 26th. That little shift in the timeline has kinda freaked us out and it's nice to get some reassurance.
Yup. My husband and I argued most about me not letting him figure out how to be a parent without me micromanaging. I was also expecting to have a schedule for everything when my now 10 month old was born. He does not like a schedule, and that was tough thing to let go of.
I soooo agree about taking tags off clothing. Everyone thought because me and my husband are so tall, our baby was going to be big and long. Everyone told me to stock up on 3 mos size instead of newborn. She ended up being tiny when she was born, she stayed in NB size for a long time! And we ended up having to run out the week we brought her home to buy her more NB size PJs/sleep and plays. Luckily she also was in 3M for quite some time too. Overall, Great tips Susan! I agree 100% with everything you said because i had the same experiences. All new Moms need to see this video.
Thank you so much for your videos! I'm not a mom yet but I took your tips because some day I would like to be a good mom as you are! I have learned a lot with your videos! Kisses and hugs for you and your family from Cuba!
i appreciate very much your honesty. Nice talk. got a lot of good stuff!
These are great tips!! 🙏🏻😇
This is really good advise!!! Thank you so much!!
This is so practical! Thank you for sharing. Especially lesson #7 about letting go...I can totally see myself doing the same to my husband. lol.
I wish this video came out sooner. My baby has cradle cap.. i used the calendula cream.. but no brush as i am too scared to brush his tiny head . All the best to you and all other new moms... you are all doing great job..
Having a second baby in April, your video is amazing!!! First one I watched and I’m going to subscribe
This is so informative. Thank you
thank you. great advice and realistic expectations
I also think the weight of the baby at birth really helps and determines how well they will sleep. My little girl was 9lbs 8oz and was a good sleeper. I was so worried about not getting sleep but I would set alarms and wake her to feed her. So I really did not have a hard time with that even at the beginning which was a blessing. But I was talking with someone who have bigger babies as well and she said it was the same for her.. she said it’s to do with their digestive system being a little more mature and there stomach being bigger. I totally agree with you clothing statement , I will not take tags off with my second for sure !
This was absolutely helpful! Wow, so many things I can relate to. Thank you from a South African mommy :)
Seriously have to comment again because this video is SO ON POINT with all the tips ! Thank you for such great content * new subscriber *
more of this please!
Susan- you mention keeping tags on clothes and specific things you could buy or get from your shower that you won’t use, do you ask people to give receipts with everything you get to make returns easy? How do you go about that? It’s such a great point I never really thought of. I would rather return/exchange things I will use rather than getting things that will get no use and money going down the drain.
Thank you for the advice about baby sleep!
Great advice!! And all so true.
Gonna save this video for future me when I get pregnant thanks ❤️✨
my best friend has had a baby and im TTC, I can feel myself thinking 'I might do that differently' but I always just try to follow her lead with her baby, if we have lunch plans and I get there and things are abit much I will go out and get us lunch.... I bring dinner to her and just sit quietly and offer a wipe when shes having a mare of it all. I try so hard not to comment because I gather that's part of the fun..... figuring this all out and saying 'yes!!! we did it!!' I can imagine it wouldnt be the same when I have one, my friend will be my go to for every little thing to be sure I am trying everything to make our lives easier. I love this idea and cant wait till I can offer my tips.
Thank you. This is very helpful x
OMG 😍😍 i was just waiting for your video.. you are absolutely talented .. most adorable and genuine CZcamsr ever .. who else think ??????? 🎥👍 Hit
Your advice was awesome!!
Hi Susan! Love your videos, so informational! I noticed for this one you switch back and forth between up close back out to half torso a lot and it is very distracting. I don't normally make mention but just a thought for future videos. Lots of love!
I love all of your advice ❤️
Great tips!
This was so helpful!
Some really good points!
This is so true! Love 💗
I like that you pointed out that saying no to people is okay. It's soooo much better than flaking all the time. People start losing their confidence in you when that regularly happens. That being said flaking because your child is sick or extra fussy is completely understandable
Susan, where did you get your long necklace from?!?! I NEED to know! It's so beautiful.
Love this! Agreed with everything. I also didn’t baby wear and I wish I stuck it out, but I didn’t know any better and maybe I’ll commit the next time around. 😅🙈
The cradle cap babies can get is so wild. I used one of those little baby combs and some coconut oil and I was covered in dandruff that day. lol. I hadn't thought about brushing preemptively.
Great info!!
Soon to be first time mom here! Great advice, especially about the social life change. Needed to hear that! :-)
New Mommy over here 👈 thank you so much these are great tips :) i am excited to see how my baby will be
