A little advice from a mom of 2 grown boys, when Sunny gets up for feedings, keep the room dark. Just use a small night light so you guys can see. Love you all! ❤
I have 3 boys and that really helps, but it does sometimes take a week till they get used to it
You are so right. I had 5 daughters all grown-up now. But keeping the room dark truly helps with them not mixing up there day's and night's.
I agree keeping the room dark is important for them to understand night and day
Best advice I’ve seen! Yes, keep it dark at night… I use to let them fuss a little too. Sometimes they just fall right back to sleep.. sometimes not.. but it helps them with self soothing too.
You guys are great parents
Totally….. agree❤
I have raised 6 kids and I agree that when she does wake up keep the room as dark as possible so she doesn’t think it’s time to be awake. Even though Sarah had the longest feeding in the middle of the night I think it’s great that Derik is willing to take night feedings as well. Not many dads do that so you got you a good one Sarah! Congrats to you both and Jack has such a cute personality I love it!
She is lucky her husband doesn't have to work.
Dark and quiet.
6 kids 😏
@Old Blue Witch true, I always just naturally did that with my babies from the moment they were born without realising I was doing it. I didn't realise some people thought it was weird to talk to a baby like they're human until an old lady came up to me at the grocery store and told me I looked crazy talking to my kid about what we were doing. I don't care what it looks like, my kids were early talkers, I'm sure talking to them about everything helped. I'm a vet nurse and I talk to my animal patients too, so maybe I am slightly nuts 😂 I swear it helps the animals stay calm when you tell them what you're doing to them. I'm sure it's the same with babies.
Dark and quiet during night and noisy all day so they know day from night.
I will never get over how kind and patient this man is, his purpose in life is truly being a father and husband
Amen absolutely agree
I wish I had a husband who got up to help me with feedings, especially since I had them all via C-Section and I’m not talking about a bikini cut either!! No, I had a full blown vertical cut C-Sect x 3!! Ouch!! ♥️
A unique one for sure. It’s beautiful
Well it’s his job to be at home vlogging. Most people husband have to go to work.
I wonder why she doesn’t breast feed 😭 and I’d be so mad if it was my turn to sleep and my spouse brought the baby in and laid her/him on the bed and woke me up 😭
Congratulations!! She’s perfect! My mom is a postpartum doula. I’m in the process of becoming a birth doula and I’ve had three kids this past six years. Don’t know if y’all will see this but in case another new mama does:
1. Lights OFF for night feedings works best. Tiny little low light night light.
2. No chatting with the cutie at night. She’s a person. A small person but a person nonetheless and y’all are interesting. She wants the tea girl 💁🏽♀️if you talk, she will listen…and she will stay up to not miss any updates
3. Keep the day loud. She will still sleep through it but learn the difference between that and the quiet night.
4. That swaddle looks loose. Remember she was just smooshed inside of you and designed to be able to pass through a birth canal. I prefer heavy duty swaddles with Velcro and I strap those jelly babies in! Use discernment obviously but tight is right.
5. “Alexa, play brown noise” … all … night … long. My baby’s room sounds like a tundra. She’s one and she thinks she is still in the womb at night. Also brown noise is more tolerable to my husband and my adult ears than white noise which seems to be more grating.
6. She can smell you… more specifically your breast milk so my mom gets better results with her clients who keep the baby on daddy’s side of the room (which I think you’re doing)
7. This one is crucial, if you aren’t already, make sure to hold baby fully upright for 25 minutes after eating. When you lay her flat before that… the gas won’t let her sleep.
8. And for a final bonus, it seems like she’s gassy and there is only one product that works across the board for my mom’a clients including me. Boiron ColicComfort Single use drops. Homeopathic, good for ages 4 weeks and older and E-FFEC-TIVE.
Wishing you the best and a blessed postpartum journey and as you know, no matter what, every missed moment of sleep is so worth it cause 😩 gahhh they’re just such a blessing. Sunny and Jack are destined for greatness. God bless your family!

Very good advice!!! Had 4 kids & my babies slept the entire nite from being home from hospital, with dark rooms & fan noise.& tried to keep them awake for a solid couple hrs b4 bedtime.
I wish you were around when I had my son, this information is great advice and so spot on.
I don't even have kids and may be too old to have em, but man will I consult this should the day arrive!
Weird how advice country to country changes. I am a midwife in the UK and we do not recommend tight swaddling for newborns over night or at all, if eyes are not on the baby. Tight swaddling can compress the chest and restrict breathing, it can also raise the babys body temperature, which new borns are not good at controlling in the early weeks due to immature brain and body organ function and preventing movement does not allow the baby to dispel heat built up around the body.
Babies natural pattern is to be more wakeful at night for natural breast seeking activity and even a bottle fed baby will gravitate toward the breast if placed on mums abdomen because this is the natural process of breast milk production. Trying to keep a newborn awake during the day so it sleeps more at night is unnatural and does not promote effective early bonding and good brain growth. Skin to skin contact for both breast and bottle fed babies will regulate the babys breathing, heart rate and body temperature and pass vital flora from the parents skin to help the baby build it's own protective layer.
A newborn has no spacial awareness or concept of night or day because it is in a primal state for those early weeks (like all mammals).There is no 'you' and 'me' with newborns which is a survival instinct to keep the mother close and encourage milk production. The baby still needs closeness even if formula feeding to allow it to feel secure and have lots of brain activity for growth. Babies also have tiny stomachs and digest milk quickly so they cannot sleep through the entire night in the early weeks. They can become dehydrated very quickly and lose weight very quickly.
I would never recommend parents force young babies into an unnatural feeding and sleeping patterns by using tight swaddling and straps, just so they themselves can sleep all night. It may work for some babies but it elevates the risk of neonatal death, especially if a baby becomes unwell and it not observed regularly around the clock. Other cultures that do swaddle infants, usually have them tied to their bodies or very close, which is safer than putting them in a separate room away from the mother.
When my babies were newborn and they cried in the night, I kept the room dark and made as few motions are possible. Fed them, changed them in near silence, and they went right back to sleep. You guys are doing a great job, this is not easy. You are great parents. Love to you both.
Exactly what I did,also. Or I'd plop them in middle of our big bed and nurse him until he fell asleep
Yes keep it dark or low light
Agree. Night lights are the best. Keep lights low as possible. Low noise 😘
And yes doing a great job you guys 😍😍😘
We used the hatch night light with the red light on! We could see, but it doesn’t stimulate their brain to think it’s awake time.
So cute!!! ❤❤ From a veteran mom of many, Don’t turn any lights on or talk to her during night feeds! Only whispers and darkness will help her understand that it’s time to sleep🙏🏼 Much love to you guys! She’s a DOLL!
Oh my gosh I am 72 years old and watching you guys up with the baby pushed me right back in to my 20s. It’s like reliving that part of my life with new babies. Thank you for sharing it brought back such good memories.
Me too!!!!! I watched this and was instantly right there, back to when my adult children were newborns..... learning every little thing....& Then, right when I got the last kid out of the house.....I got custody of the first grandbaby 😳 (2days old).
Had to relearn everything! 🥴🤪🤭
Wouldn't trade any of it..
As a nursing home nurse I find this adorable and so special!!!
im in my 40s and i was thinking the same lol. my daughter was 4 so she was a big help with her brother but the no sleep... i almost think us older people would do better with newborns because i barely sleep anymore. im up all the time so i could totally watch the baby lol.
So true! It's really fun to remember back when your babies were new and like fine china but then you blink and they're young adults. My fav memory is my first son never left my room without saying I love you mommy fast forward still never leaves without saying I love you!💕 🥰
Hey y'all!! A little unsolicited advice from a mom of 2 grown up girls and an LPN.
You guys are so awesome feeding her when she's fussing!!! I love how you 2 work together. I saw someone mention keeping it darker in the room with little to no noise. I always kept the room dark and the TV on but very low...background noise is important as I'm sure you know. My advice for helping Sunny sleep a little longer: instead of wrapping her in a swaddling blanket use your clothing ie pj's or t-shirts. Also putting clothes that you have already worn for her to lay on in the bassinet. Having your smell close to her will comfort her. It is a trick I learned with my 2nd daughter and it worked...she was amazing to put back to sleep after a feeding. I have passed this along to everyone I came across that had a baby and it worked for them as well.
I FEEL your exhaustion!!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I am reliving the best mommy moments over again watching you guys! ❤️❤️
I agree on the low volume noise. I used a sound machine with my babies and also swaddled. My oldest slept through the night at 10 days old, but he was a big baby.
I did that with my daughter. I put her fav blankie on my shoulder while i held her and she had to have that blankie 24/7. It does work. She is now 16 and still has her blankie but its literally strings tied together lol.
Every parent of a newborn always looks so exhausted. But looks like you're finding a good balance. God bless. Your kids are so cute!
They look beautiful but tired
I love how involved Derek is. Great parents.
Damn... the bar is in H*LL 🔥 for men. He's being a Dad and doing what he's supposed to do lol. He doesn't need a cookie for that.
@@serenawill128 they're both at home with the kids. It's great he's able to be that involved but it's not realistic for most families who have one or both parents out working
@@serenawill128 I agree, but a lot of dads are not that involved in the newborn phase.
@nicolewouda8376 Well that's terrible and they should be involved. You can definitely pump and keep some in the fridge or Dad can help out by feeding formula and splitting up things 50/50 that way
That’s what he’s supposed to do, those kids are just as much his as they are hers. No need to praise him for being involved, it’s sad that this is where we’ve reached.
Darkening the house will help her sleep faster! We got nightlights all over the house now and it’s such a help even when they are older. And reducing their stimulation. So no talking, no tv, just white noise and darkness ❤️
. Maybe im really wrong, but whatever works for you, but i never did that, all my kids got used to sleeping with noise, from people talking to train whistles blowing.
@@donnahazy4209 I did the same thing with my babies noise, noise and more noise and when my granddaughter was born my son and daughter in law kept it so quiet that baby would wake up to a pin dropping
@@donnahazy4209 agreed!! The hospital never slept…noise…lights…then BAM you get sent home to quiet and crying
Oh dear, just found you, hooked already, love a newborn, who can resist and Jack is adorable. There is someone on CZcams who teaches about the 5 main baby cries and how to recognise them. I could have done with that (and the internet, specifically CZcams) 3-4 decades ago when I had mine! ❤🚁❤
Quiet quite 😊
You guys are absolute champs for handling 2 young kids and filming content for us at the same time. Keep the amazing work!!
You hear people talk about the lack of sleep when having a newborn, but this video really made me realize and see how intense (yet also precious) those feedings in the night are. I love how you guys care for each other and work together! Keep being awesome, you guys are wonderful parents!
I noticed that too. Can’t imagine having to get up and go to work somewhere every day after a night of feedings! I love/need my sleep SO MUCH! I tip my hat to parents everywhere! 🎩
Hey guys, I recieved the best advice before our first child was born. I was a younge married mom at 17 (had 3 biological children with my husband). The advice was...from day 1, put your baby down to sleep after they eat while they are still awake and don't brake the cycle. They will fall asleep on their own, sleep for longer periods and more soundly. This is especially hard for first time parents and new grandparents etc. to commit to when everyone wants to hold your baby all the time. Just find the happy medium during the day but keep the cycle at night. Also when they do get up at night only have a small night light on just so you can see to change and feed them. It helps keep them in a sleep/calm state. Babies get their days and nights mixed up very easily. All 3 of my children slept 3 -3 1/2 hours at a time at night between feedings. The best part for tired parents was, they all slept through the night by the time they were 4 weeks old. I or my husband would do their last feeding at 10pm and they would sleep till 7am. It was great especially after having our 2nd baby and his sister was just 2 years older, almost to the day. Our 3rd baby was born 2 years after our 2nd. So our children are almost exactly 2 years apart. This is what worked for us and mite not be ideal for everyone. The second best advise was... don't be quiet around your baby while they are sleeping. This way you won't have to tip toe around hopeing you don't wake them up. It's almost impossible to have everything quiet when you already have another child in the house. I use to run the vacuum in their rooms while they were sleeping. They could sleep through fireworks, thunder etc and still to this day as adults. Well..not like they use to...2 of our children are parents and once you become a parent, you never actually sleep the same again. Lol. Some people use to say it was just my children this worked for and probably wouldn't work for others. But than I became a foster mom. The babies I would foster were only 24-48 hours old and came directly to our home from the hospital. We applied the same advice to all 6 of our foster babies and it worked perfect. All the babies we fostered stayed with us from birth to 8 -14 months old. So it worked on not only my biological children but my foster babies as well. I just want to make something clear. We spent plenty of time cuddling, holding, rocking and loving our children, all 9 of them. Laying them down while they were still awake allowed us the time to spend with our other children. To this day our grown children come over and snuggle next to us and to watch a movie etc. So laying them down while they are still awake wont take away the direct contact they deserve and need. We are so thankful 5 out of the 6 babies we fostered are still in our lives today and we still have the same loving relationship with them. Again this is what worked for our family. Hope this helps other parents. Congratulations on your new daughter, Sunny.
This is great advice! Deserves a lot more likes!!!!
Excellent advice! As a mum to 3 grown up children, I completely agree!
Excellent advice!!!!!!!! As a mom of 6 and a 20+ year career as a labor and delivery and NICU nurse, I completely agree!
Great advice. Babies will go to sleep on their own, even if they have to cry it out a little.
Did you just say by the time they're 4 weeks old you let them sleep all through the night from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. you do know until they're at least 4 or 5 months old you're supposed to feed them every three and a half hours to 3 hours you said you start doing that at 4 weeks old I don't know if you're supposed to do that for my understanding not until they're 4 months they can go 6 to 8 hours through the night but not 4 weeks
Sunny looks just like Jack to me! Just with dark hair. She’s precious! 😍💕
I’ve just found out after starting this video that I’m pregnant with my second!
Massive congratulations on Sunny, she’s gorgeous and a lovely little one!
You’re family all look so happy and healthy, wish you all the best ❤
Congratulations, miss! What a great miracle to start a brand new year! God Bless you!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I raised my 4 kids with these words in their heads…”You get back, what you give out”. If you feel like we are good people, know that the reason we keep showing up here, is that you and your family are too♥️ Thank you for opening your lives to us
Oh Sarah, I just want to give you the biggest hug ever. Those first 3 months are so hard, it does feel like you're walking around in a daze. Your body is still healing, you're mentally exhausted and the thought of 3 uninterrupted hours of sleep is like a literal dream. Derek you are doing great being a great Father to both your kids and a wonderful support to Sarah. Praying for all of you. ❤️
A tip my friend told me after having my 2nd child. Your children feel your stress, if you are stressed while putting your little one to bed they will feel it. After finding peace and letting go of the stress my son would fall asleep pretty fast.
Watching this has honestly helped me so much. My baby was born Dec 5th and she is my first so I keep doubting myself because my little girl has that same middle of the night fussy difficult to settle time. Y’all are such amazing parents and this made me feel like I’m doing a good job it’s hard to feel that way at 2am when they won’t settle but I’m glad to see it is normal!! Y’all are amazing and she is so adorable!

Happy New Year to you all, I'm a senior (74) n live alone. I really appreciate you sharing your family. Your wonderful parents. God bless from Ontario Canada.
I agree they are amazing parents! Wishing you a Happy & Healthy New Year Lynda from Ireland ❤️
Hi Lynda! Happy new year!
Hi lynda from Kentucky! I dont get to see my family due to distance. I love seeing this family.
Did you try nursing her ?
I nursed my girls on demand instead of 3 hour feedings. And nursed about Midnight for last feeding. And they would sleep till 6am. Worked for all 3 girls. When they were only 2 weeks old.
Watching this remembering when my girls were tiny. Both my husband and I worked full time at very high energy jobs. I was a corporate sales executive for computers and he was a computer network manager. Fortunately we had a live in nanny who took over at 7 am so we could go to work and at leastone of us was back home by 7 pm.. You are so lucky to have this flexibility to be able to be with them both at this time. It just flies by. I missed so much with working. BTW, you guys are so easy to be "nice" to. Both you and Sarah have a kindness and generosity of your spirit that fosters calm and optimism in a world filled with chaos and self interest. I started watching your channel years ago just because it was like and island of joy and happiness found in simple things like days at the beach and skateboarding with baby Jack. Thank you for sharing your lives with us all. So happy your little family is doing so well.
How precious your family is. I enjoy watching the love and support you give each other. It is a joy to go along with you and spend a long night. I am retired now but worked for ten years in a neonatal unit where I had 4 growing premies and 12 feedings on my night shift along with many other duties. Your video took me right back remembering those shifts. I absolutely love Sunny’s brown locks. She is so adorable. And Jack is getting interested in so many diverse worldly things. It’s fun to see him expand. I agree with other comments to try to keep the room darkened in the wee hours if possible with lamplight. Thanks for bringing all of us into your lives.
I just wanted to say, you sound like you havent forgiven yourself for working when you had your kids. You really should. You were able to have a great nanny for them but not just that, you had to work it's a part of life when you have children cause they are expensive little things. Also if you loved your career then you were teaching your children a lesson in not giving up on what you want in life and not compromising on that. That is a great life lesson!
I was very lucky in the fact my sons father didnt want me to work after I had my son, more out of control than niceness! But jokes on him i loved every minute. Yes I would love to have a career and now that my son is 12 and getting his own life it would be amazing to be able to have that to fall back on. He still needs me thank god but he likes to tell me that he has a better social life than I do lol. Cheeky monkey.
I bet you still have a great relationship with your children even though you worked. You probably made more of holidays and free time because you wanted to squeeze in so much living with them. I just wanted to say you're a great mom and you like most other moms did your best, that's all any single person can do in this life. Sending love
Unsolicited advice: my daughter didn't burp, ever. So we did lots of bicycle legs and mylocon drops. She didn't take to binkies. But she absolutely hated swaddling. I slept in the same room with her for 3 days then people told me to put her in her own room (it's 8 steps from mine) and she's slept so solidly from then on (thru the night since 5 mos). You guys are so great and supportive of eachother, it's so wonderful to see. And walking through the first few months like a zombie is totally normal.
Some very good advise. I was going to say, I always put a cloth diaper over my shoulder when I burped them, that way if they spit up, it won't be on your clothes and you have a rag to wipe their mouth too. I love watching your videos. You guys are crushing it. Enjoy them while they're young. It gets better. The kids are darling and you two are cute too. Nice family. Sorry about your vehicle. 🙄
She’s so little… My daughter is almost 12, and I can’t believe how little she once was. You guys are amazing. And kudos to you, Dad- you are killing it!! ❤
Sunny is going to be the sweetest sister to Jack. I can’t wait to see her grow.
The best advice I ever got raising my four kids was to not talk to them during night feeds. No kisses and sweet talks. Yes, it is sooooo hard to do, but eventually they realize there is a difference in day and night feedings. They are like “Oh, they talk and love on me during certain times and don’t during others.” All of my babies slept through the night early on and I think this was a major contributing factor. Both of your babies are precious!
Omg im having my first one in august. That helps me out a whole lot as a new mom. Tysm for saying that 🥰
I was about to say the same thing. I found out if you don't talk to them they will soothe and go back to sleep quicker. I had 2 babies 13 months apart (1979 & 1980) and that's one of the things I learned.
What really helped with my kids to know the difference between day and night was to consistently wake them up every two hours in the day time, instead of just feeding them whenever they wake up. and then at night just letting them sleep until they wake up. Also giving them a bath right before that last feeding in the evening. Keeping them on a schedule so they know what to expect is so important. You guys are doing a great job, and you are both fantastic parents. Thanks for sharing your precious lives with all of us, it is so much fun to watch. Much love to all of you❤️❤️❤️
This made me laugh at a memory with my second child. I knew he was going to have his days and nights mixed up based on his movement in the womb. Sure enough he did and one night he was up, just he and I and I remember even talking to him and saying, “I’m not supposed to talk and get you all stimulated, but you’re just too cute and sweet,” or something along those lines. They’re only little for so long. I had a preemie first so feeding every 2 hours was essential, even to wake her through the night. He actually slept through the night much earlier.
@@michellekuhn2151 So true that they need certain amounts of calories and if they don’t get it during the day, then they will be needing it through the night. Not trying to say it isn’t normal for babies to need feedings through the nights, but more talking about older babies past the first few to several months.
You both are doing great. Keeping night feedings calm, semi dark & peaceful will help. We used to call them baby boogie suckers, lol, but use those nasal aspirators to help Sunni breathe easier, and try a room humidifier to loosen up the sinuses. Love that you support each other so well & work together to keep both babies happy & comfy. 🥰 You’re both doing an amazing job -it’s not easy but it will get better as the weeks go by. Congrats again! 💛
One of the best dads ever!!! So loving and calm!!
Because you set a good example about how family members should treat each other, with patience, never-ending love, you talk to each other, respect all family members - I could go on and on.
I agree! And also being happy to be together!! That’s such a great family trait.
💞💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💜💛💚❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙Μado
My kids are grown. Watching you guys takes me back. Exhausting but worth it. Some of your most cherished memories will be these days right here.💞 Jack is such a good big brother.
You mentioned how nice your viewers are .... well your nice to each other, the fun & gags & all !!
As you grow older together, reminisce as to WHY your together, etc. Keeping that reason alive will get you thru anything life throws at you both. Yes your an adorable couple, but your also an example of kindness & cooperation....that never gets old !!♡♡♡♡♡
Jack’s description of his dreams was terrific. He is so articulate.
Loved seeing a typical night with Sunny. This newborn stage will fly by, and everyone will be getting more zzzs.
Sunny’s hair is amazing! So full…I am very curious as to whether the texture stays the same or not. She is absolutely precious.
Thanks for sharing, once again!
Are you kidding me!? We love being part of your lil family! Thank you for inviting us into your life and allowing us to love your babies!
I agree.
What's Sunny's middle name. She looks a lot like her mom. Her hair is lighter already and will change as she gets bigger. I bet blonde.
@@kellystanoyevic86 it’s Marie :)
It’s a blessing to see or watch your videos knowing how much you both. Love and care for each other and pouring your love unto your children. My beloved husband of 46 years loved our children from they were born til he passed last March of 2022. They’re all adults but the way. They interacted. It’s amazing! Our oldest son and his family live in Texas and the younger ones returned home to have more time with him. They treated their dad like a baby. He cried after talking to older one on the phone. He cried when dropping off the younger son at the airport. Going for conference. The love transpired between them. Amazing! Your videos will help a lot of the younger generation. God Bless.

Thank you for sharing your family with us! You're the only family I follow because I love how real you keep it. And your enthusiasm is infectious.
I have 4 children, all adults now. So when I had my last one, I had an 11 month old , a nearly 5 year old, and a 9 year old. I definitely learnt from the first to the last that if you make the night feed enjoyable, they stay awake a lot longer. Keep talking to a minimum and light just so you can see. Obviously, feed and change Sunny and give her a hug. It's hard work getting the balance right sometimes. You are such a lovely family. You got this xxx
If she is gassy and fussy after feeding, maybe look at the formula! We had to switch my son to a gentle formula and that helped him instantly. He slept better and wasn’t so uncomfortable. You guys are literally doing AMAZING!
That's a great idea!!
Simalac is the best. Both of my girls used it never had an issue and planning to use it on my 3rd as well
@@11karmk11 ...mine too.
That bottle machine is the neatest thing I’ve ever seen!😳 Why do they come out with all that AFTER my kids are grown!😂❤
I know right, me too my kids grown and I wish they had that during my time with newborns. Man that would have made it so much easier.
“Night night everyone!” God they are so cute!!
With my nine babies there was so much noise during the day and baby would be sleeping. When everyone was asleep it became too quiet. So I made a tape recording of a normal day(kiddos/kittens/puppies) and turned it on low and put beside the cradle. Took several day/night adjustments but got baby used to the “white noise “ or family noise.
Each baby decides their rhythm.
Bless you and a sweet New Year
And a huge rocking chair to hold Sunny and Jack, hugging and snuggling
That’s so cool I never heard anyone use the family as their white noise super cool !!!
It was the same for me. I just let the older kids be normal and that's what she got used to. I played music for her when I put her to he'd after they were all in bed. Older babies went to sleep in crib but last one .. nope had to be carried. So I put her in my carrier and she slept in it .. sometimes I could get her out and into crib. But that was only first month.baftet that as long as it was not too quiet, she would go to sleep in crib. I woukd do it all again. God bless.
@Jai B. totally works! I know a lot of new parents would hang signs on the door saying " don't ring bell or knock, text me instead ". Bad idea, the world is noisy and it's better if they get used to it earlier.
New parent dilemma.
“Which feeding would be easiest for you?” Sarah is extremely Blessed to have such a caring Life Partner/husband. I swear, you & Derik are the best! Enjoy watching your family’s journey. Happy 2023 & May you both prosper with many blessings. Your children are a bonus for us to watch. They are both adorable. ♥️
I would never imagine you to have a babygirl with this massive dark hair...😊..she is so cute..🩷..and Jack also..his talking is sooo sweet...
I raised my children the same. Normal noise, normal light, and cuddling if desired. My son slept through the night at 3 yrs. My daughter at 6 weeks. Y'all do you. Each child is different and they grow up no matter what. What works for others may not work for you.
Jack is speaking so clearly and full sentences! Sunny doesn't seem to want her binky, lucky you guys that means you won't have to break her of it later on. Sarah doesn't need her beauty sleep she's beautiful already. Safe trip to you Derik and little Jack. Come home safe.
Anyone else yawn 🥱 when Sarah yawned, I did there so contagious! You guys are rocking it thanks for bringing us along on the journey! 🥰
I just yawned reading your comment 😅
You guys are doing such a good job! I admire your relationship- you’re working so well together and are both so considerate and caring of each other. Just happy for your sweet family ❤
“No rest for the weary”has to be the title of this vlog. You two are amazing parents. I adore your videos. ❤
I think she looks just like Jack when he was a baby except her hair is dark. Jack and Sunny are both so precious. Jack telling about his dream when he woke up was the sweetest thing ever.
I was coming here just to say that she really looks like Jack with dark hair!
@@DarrinsDaffs Me too😂😂
Yep looks just like her brother!
Yes!!!! She is his dark haired twin!!!!! 😍🥰
You guys are genuine, kind, caring, loving ppl that's why you have such a great fan base we love you guys ❤️
I am gobsmacked at what they have to help feed babies. I looked up on line at the self feeders. Your wonderful measuring and warmed bottle.
You two are the sweetest parents I've seen in a long time. Patience and light with love and cuddles. Happy dreams when it's your turn to do so. 😍🎶💞💕😘Very blessed children. 🙏🌟
Brings back so many memories of my kids ,I have 3 sons and a daughter, my last ,so many nights I felt I couldn't go on ,my husband was a fishermen so I pretty much done it on my own, was hard but I loved every minute, you are such beautiful parents and sonny is just divine, little mate Jack is gorgeous much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ 💙 💖 happy 2023
You guys are doing so great. To watch your sleepless night really brought back memories of the nights with my triplets. They were on a 3 hour feeding schedule as premies and it took about 2 1/2 hours to feed, change and get the baby back to sleep and we had a 1/2 hr or less until the next baby woke to feed. It was hard but so precious. One morning my mother came early to help me while my husband went to work. She arrived and found him sound asleep on our staircase in the middle of trying to put his shoes. Having a spouse so willing to be up at night was a lifesaver. Jack is so adorable. He is so articulate and loving. You have an amazing family.
You are such a good husband and father. What a blessing to your family.
It's best when there are two parents who work together.
And she’s a good wife and mother. It’s what they’re both supposed to do.
He's doing what he's supposed to do! He got his wife pregnant twice and now is doing what every father SHOULD be doing . Helping with the raising of his children. He's not an astrophysicist . He's a man taking shared responsibility for what he created
@@natmac8378 fuck, thank you! People be praising dads for the bare minimum (not saying that Derrick isn’t a wonderful dad, because he is). Moms never get praised because people view it as something “they’re supposed to do”. Which is true, but thats also what the dads supposed to do. Pisses me off.
Sarah, the way you interact with your newborn I can tell you are such an amazing, nurturing mom. I am a pediatric nurse and it is not something that comes natural to mothers nor is easy but you make it look like you were made for this 💕
I’m a single mom… I can’t wrap my mind around fathers active in lives of newborns and that’s so sad. It’s like watching a unicorn in action.
Man Jack’s dreams sound awesome!
That IS sad. I hope you find more sources to see this because there are a lot out here who think this is normal.
I was a single mother aswell my first child was a dream baby slept through from 16 weeks my daughter on the other hand didn't sleep for the first year of her life. Her dad and I were splitting up but he suggested a night nanny because he didn't live with us and I was breastfeeding. Best thing ever to happen to me. I would pump enough during the day give her her bath and Las t feed before bed and then the night nanny would take over and she went above and beyond I'd wake up to a clean and tidy kitchen and living room, folded laundry. My ex paid for her because of his work he couldn't do it (or so he said) I her come until my daughter slept through the night, I'd have lost my mind with exhaustion otherwise. I brought up my kids by myself their fathers slowly disappeared but we made it. Theyre grown and successful but I love watching young families start out.
Keep up the great work. Your kind and loving parents. Your love for one another and your kids are like a warm hug of love.
Can we just appreciate how cute Jack and Sunny is?❤
Are*

some pirates are here 😋
I know right
Every day!!!
Sunny’s hair is ADORABLE !! She is precious and Jack has grown up so much in the last month. Congratulations again💗!!
DEFINITELY. and wild. ;it is so unique, so much of it., Sunny's signature. It would cool if Sunny's hair stayed dark { being different [especially with all those blonds in her family. being different is cool. Sunny is so cute.
Really lovely video. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed and appreciated this 10 minutes of your family's time just living life with your newborn and two year old. Jack's dreams were adorable. Great job, parents!
Sarah you’re absolutely amazing in all ways, especially as a mother and wife, and still such a beautiful person inside and out even sleep deprived! Derek you are truly a blessing to your family as well and what lucky kiddos to have y’all as parents! It’s a privilege to be invited along the journey. It goes by in a blink.
If she doesn't want the binky she doesnt have to have it in my opinion. I had twins 30 years ago and never gave them a binky. They did just fine without it.
You two are very loving parents. Love how you help and support each other. You're getting lots of great tips on feeding her and getting her back to sleep.
Derick and Sarah are the best parents Sunny and Jack dont realize they have the coolest parents ever yet
You two are such amazing parents!! This world needs more families like yours! ❤️❤️

Omg reading all of this well meaning but intense advice reminds me how much I do NOT miss the newborn stuff. 5 kids all grown and you have to do what works best for you and your family. I breastfed & coslept and didn’t miss any sleep-but I know that’s not feasible for every family. You guys already have Jack, you’re pros. You’ll get into a good routine ❤️
I just love her feathery dark hair & Jacks long blond locks😊 so cute.
And I thank you guys for allowing us to watch your beautiful family grow.❤
I can’t believe how generous you guys are!
I have never been a reality watcher. And I am completely absorbed. Your experiences are memories of my own, lessons to be learned, and oh my gosh I wish I knew that when my kids were little. But the most important part is your unconditional love, humor, support, and being so kind. I think you guys need a television show! Just saying❤
You guys, that was so cool to see how you two did it through the night LOL. You guys are handling it really good I'm proud of you. Just remember think good thoughts about it all and it's easier. If you think burdened, you'll feel burdened so don't go there and you'll be fine. It's a challenge and we've all done it and it's a beautiful thing! Enjoy it because it goes fast and it gives you lasting memories while it's happening. Jack has such a great imagination! Too cute💖
In my wildest dreams I never would have imagined enjoying a channel like this! Love you guys and feel honored to be part of your journey! Thx for sharing ❤
First Props to Sarah and Derik ! 👏👏 Sunny is a a bundle of Joy in one human!
What a blessing it is to have such a beautiful family.
It's a rekindling of my faith in the human race watching your family live authentically day to day. You're wonderful people, raised by wonderful people, raising wonderful children. More people need to see that this type of love, thoughtfulness, and giving really exists. I fear so many young people only see selfishness, disregard, and no idea of what love can be. It's nice to know they can watch your channel and experience a life that can be theirs. Instead of making the same fateful decisions that their parents made. You don't have to be rich to be kind. It's the caring and selflessness so many young people need to experience.
You are wonderful parents; and baby looks like both of you. The dark hair is adorable! Happy 2023 and thanks for sharing the joy.
You guys are doing great! Our baby was born just a few days after Sunny and we also have a 2 year old, so we’re in the trenches with you! Thanks for sharing! It’’s nice to know we’re not the only ones who feel like zombies :) good luck guys! You’ve got this!
Congratulations to you on your beautiful baby coming into the world. Every parent first time or 12th time are like zombies during that first 6 months. It seems like it will never get easier and then without you even noticing one day it just is. You are doing a great job too.
This is why they say you need to be young to have children.. Bless you guys!!!❤
My baby is due in 15 days and I'm just so overwhelmed with joy to be able to enjoy my baby girl like you all are. Shes beautiful 😍 God bless!
You two are doing great..even though it may not always feel like that. I'm a mom to 5 now grown kids with kids of their own, but watching you two with your babies, brings back so many memories. On those challenging, sleep deprived days and nights, try to remember that this too shall pass. You are a great team and you got this!! 💞
When I first saw Sunny after delivery, she looked just like Jack with dark hair. Adorable!!
Like many others have said. Just wake up and exist 😂 no lights, no external stimulation, kisses, sweet talk it really helps. ❤ I can’t believe how dark her hair is it still cracks me up such a beautiful family
Sarah’s sister also had dark hair
I just discovered you guys and how amazing and chill you both are and how beautiful are your children!!
My man throws a fit when i gotta work ONE night shift because im not there to wake up with the baby all night... you guys are making me think about stuff in a different light... you'r a great team. Super sweet together.
My mum is a single mother of 4 kids and if feeding time is hard for two parents then I have no idea how my mum managed us on her own. The best part about joining you on your family journey is that I get to learn more so I can one day care for my own little angels. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your lives even with the struggles. ❤️
I had to do everything with all of mine. The father would say "I don't do babies". I was fine though because my maternal instincts were overwhelming. I didnt like anyone touching my babies. He loved his kids though and absolutely lived for them and providing for them. He's passed on now sadly.
@@outsidersongs2682 i also did all feedings (I was nursing) with my 6, BUT his(my hubby) job won't pay for paternity leave so he could only take a few days off and was working 7 days a week. It's harder with (Imho) the first 2 babies but after that I adjusted to little sleep and now I sleep about 5 hours a night because of that lol
@@planetoftheeps I've nannied for Moms like you and while its hard at first, I just act like Mom's shadow. I walk around with her, bounce their pet while she bounces the baby, do household cleaning and grocery shopping so they have alone time. And usually after a few days, I get to hold the baby. I encourage parents to buy ALL the cameras and monitors and when parents tell me they have hidden nannycams I get excited lol I also tell the parents "PLEASE stop by! This is YOUR home and these are YOUR babies, please feel free to drop in on us anytime! If you want to come home for lunch, call me ahead of time and I'll make sure I make extra food!" Nannycams protect the children AND the nanny. Most very protective new Moms open up when they see the love and patience that you have and then once they let you in, soon Mom is back to work full time.
Oh my gosh, thank you for this video. It was so real and made those long nights of 15 years ago seem like just yesterday. How could I have forgotten? How was it so exhausting and wonderful at the same time?
I'm going to go wipe the tears off my face and hug my teenagers.
Thanks for the memories, guys.
✨🌜
(pssst...by the way, guess what...you guys are doing great!) 💕
Oh, yes. This brings back memories. Awe… y’all are doing so good. It’s hard, but precious.
I have 2 teen daughters. This is really taking me back.
It is a moment in time you will remember with SO MUCH LOVE. This is the true foundation of a child’s development.
You guys are doing the best. 💜💜

That dad instinct!! you heard one tiny but loud sound and IMMEDIATELY caught him and quieted him for his sister! Way to go guys, you guys are doing great. I don't think Derik was thinking of the calmness of his daughter when he was begging for one, not realizing that his son would shift LMAO
You guys are such troopers for keeping the spirits up during those nighttime feeds. Well done! Jack is adorable and Sunny is just too, too cute!
You two are so sweet with your beautiful children. Sunnys dark hair is incredible! Darling babies.
I’m 26 weeks pregnant today and it’s been almost 7 years since my last newborn. This is actually totally awesome to watch because it’s getting me back in the mindset, remembering the zombie-mode, the constant guessing, the second and third guessing, the doing whatever to survive, the trying to put them down drowsy but awake, which is so freaking hard, being sure they need a little more milk and then they just spit it up, thinking they’re finally sleeping, so you finally lay down, then getting up to a crying, awake baby like 2 seconds (or 20 minutes? An hour? Who knows) later.
Also, it’s TOTALLY like you’re sleepwalking. My daughter had a crazy sleep regression around 9 months and the worst night had me up with 11 TIMES. It was insane. You really do feel crazy.
My daughter was also the gruntiest, loudest baby! It was nuts. I’d never known a little baby could be so noisy while sleeping. It made postpartum anxiety hit super hard. I’m nervous it’ll be the same this time, but I’m trying to keep my mind in a more peaceful, optimistic place. I don’t think I have it in me to be a vlogger, but I love the idea of having so much moral support, especially since my marriage isn’t as rock solid as yours appears.
That turned into venting! 😂
Hi lady. Congratulations on your pregnancy! You'll be fine. It'll all come back. I'm sorry bout the husband situation believe me I can totally relate. I just wanted to send you some love and encouragement. Jack and Sarah are such a loving committed couple.
@@nancyayotte2297 Aw, thank you so much, very sweet of you 🥰
The fussiness will peak at 2-3 months, it's a phase and will pass. Sincerely, a momma of 6!🙋🏻♀️✨ Hang in there momma!
*bedtime fusiness* i should say
Actually that was where my daughter peeked for sleep. She finally started sleeping better at night around then without any fussiness. Every baby is different when it comes to phases. Now at almost eight months she has her bad nights and her good nights but more bad nights because she pops teeth left and right. She’s got six teeth and they’re full on shinning right now.
She is right, it will. Also when she hits the 11 or 12 pound range, she will probably sleep a bit more.
True after two months, my son started sleeping longer, so I got more sleep and I felt rested even though I was still losing sleep, but it was so overwhelming where you’re just dragging you know that feeling right I’m sure we all do lol😊
My second born started sleeping better at 3 months but only lasted a week. He is now 13months and he has slept through the night a couple times
Ahh hearing Jacks dreams was so sweet! He's too cute! Sunny is so beautiful! ❤️ You guys!! Happy New Year!!!
I love this video. Your little Sunny reminds me of my darling girl nearly 40 years ago. What support you both give each other and you're doing everything right. Holding baby often and feeding as much as she wants will make her confident and so smart. Jack is ready for reading words. He's so good with communicating already, which is so fun. Be well.
