I litterally had no idea about the swings & sleepers, thank goodness I learned about this right before having our 1st baby in a few weeks. My friends used to always use sleepers & swings to let their babies sleep in another room, while they went off & did other stuff in another room. If the baby fell asleep in a stroller or carseat they would just leave them in it, as if it was buying them more time of peace & quiet. Thanks to this video I will easily remember "No chin to chest"

This was a big surprise to me! I had my first child 16 years ago and we let her sleep in her cat seat and swing all. the. time! I had no idea that it was so dangerous! I'm so glad to have learned this, as I am 10 weeks away from giving birth to my son, my 2nd child (3rd pregnancy, 2nd birth)! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much!!! I am childfree, and my best friend is pregnant with her first. I have no idea what to do with babies. I am so grateful for your videos, I share them with her. Thank you for all the free wisdom you provide!!!

Would love to hear more advice for older kids. We’ve watched every video on you channel and they’ve helped us out hugely, but our little one is now 9 months and I feel it’s getting harder and harder to find good advice.

Also, keep in mind most development guides consider 40-week gestation. Mine was 38 weeks, we're playing catch up just to get to 'normal'. Consult your newborn med team (hope you have one available!) for adjustments to expectations.

We are first time parents and we are Native American, we received a baby board and our baby girl sleeps a full 7 or 8 hours once we feed her, burp her then board. Love the board❤

My little one is so noisy when he sleeps. Somehow i've now learned to filter out his 'not awake noises' when i'm asleep and now pretty much only wake up with his awake cry or any strange new noise (like a cough or soemething). It's crazy what our brains can do and i'm so bloody gratefull for it. I do agree with the fact that swaddling/sleepsacks and an empty crib are best for babies saftey. But that isnt possible with every baby. My little one needs a special medical pillow and for quite a while would only sleep next to me in his nest. Sometimes you've just gotta do what you gotta do.

This is also a great "refresher" course for people like me that have kids 18 years apart lol My oldest is 18, my middle child is 15, and my youngest is 4 months old lol

Perfect timing! I'm expecting my first any day now and just shared this with my husband. The first sleep tip will be especially helpful, thank you!

Great videos! The only one I do not agree with is the Purple crying. Not all babies go through it. My second one briefly cried the first 2 weeks after birth before going to sleep before we figured out the reason, which was being overly tired. There is usually a reason to purple crying that can help but parent do not always find out what the reason is.

Ай бұрын

Agree. Third time mom and we only had it briefly with our first until we realised he was overtired from not having napped enough during the day. My theory is that this is usually the case, as new parents underestimate the number of hours of sleep babies need.

This was so interesting to watch. I should have seen this before my baby was born. My new born was also crying unconsolably for around 6 hours a day. I was so worried and went to hospital. In the end it was no need, baby was healthy but experiencing cramps - colics. Thank you for helping new parents with such useful information. Good luck!

Fantastic information! So helpful for a first time mum!

Expecting our second in a few weeks. The burping tips reminded me that my first would almost all the time fall asleep while breastfeeding, no way I would get a burp out of him. I would lay him down and if he'd wake up some time after, fussing or crying, I would try to burp him then. And that was usually what he needed. Thanks for the reminder 😅

After having a newborn I quickly realized I knew nothing about newborns. I violated all of these. Thank God for your videos. They are greatly appreciated.

O my God… thank you its a wonderful video with alot real information i am a first time mom with a 7 week old still waking at 6 am trying to figure out what’s happening coz i think my baby needs help with something, as he starts crying for no specific reason being fussy even in his sleep Feels like he is really in pain even i had an appointment with my GP yesterday and everything was just normal and great and the doctor said he is a happy healthy baby about which at that time I thought he knows nothing about a new born… okay so its the period of purple crying 😢 and this video just saved me from alot of stress

I'm not a mother, yet. But I feel this information is valuable when I have one, great channel

The info on Tummy Time was really helpful. We were asked by our doctors to wait until the umbilical stump falls off before laying the baby on the ground. But, like you said here, it doesn't have to be on the floor in the beginning. I've already wasted a week, so I'll start tomorrow after a (hopefully) good night's rest.

Hi Emma - new subscriber here! This video is exactly what I needed! I've had so many unanswered questions with my 1st baby who's 3 weeks old- especially the burping dilemma! I breastfeed and she falls asleep but then I'm up for ages trying to burp her- by then she's wide awake. Is it safe to babywear with a sling for newborns? Full term. I'm finding she's on me all day and doesn't settle in the moses basket during the day. She wants to be held all the time. And I love it but need my hands free - ive been told to put her down but can't get myself to do it as she starts crying. Any tips on that. Thanks again x

Hello I would like to correct you about baby caring. The back must be supported to be in C position, other way is it very bad for the spine, so that the vertebrae do not press againts other. So no stuffed or hard back of the carrier, the best thing for newborns are stretchy scarf made for babywearing. Other rule is M position for legs and the fabric must be from knee to knee.

Hi Dagmar, according to Red Nose Australia and the American Academy of Pediatrics when baby wearing a baby's body should not be curled or slumped (C-position) so that baby's chin is forced to baby's chest as this may restrict breathing.

Hi Emma, thank you for yet another educational video. On the topic of sleep, my baby my is 3 months old, he never liked being swaddled since birth. Is there any alternative to stop/reduce moro reflex so he won’t wake himself up? Also, since it’s recommended that the baby’s crib must be free of loose blankets, in cold weather conditions, how do you keep baby warm at night without swaddling?

Great question! At 3 months of age the startle reflex should be reducing if it hasn't already stopped. If your little one still experiences the startle reflex then you can reduce the likelihood of triggering it by using a white noise machine (as this will mask sudden loud noises which triggers the startle reflex) and when moving your baby try and do it slowly and with smooth movements, as limiting big sudden movements will reduce the chances of your baby startling. In regards to keeping them warm without using blankets sleeping bags (where the arms are free) are a great solution. Make sure you check out the TOG rating of the sleeping bags to ensure you choose one which is suitable for the room temperature. I hope that helps!

Hey there! So, I'm a new dad and I'm kind of trying to figure out this whole baby thing. My 3-week-old daughter is giving me a run for my money, especially when it comes to her crying and squirming in her bassinet. Swaddling seems to be a big no-no for her, as she constantly fights to break free and ends up crying even more. I wonder if it's because she's in REM sleep? Can you tell me what signs to look out for to know if she's crying because she actually needs something? Should I give her a little time to see if she settles down and goes back to sleep? Appreciate any advice!

Great video! I thought something was wrong with my son for not burping, he didn’t burp for the first 2 months but he started burping later. I would lay him down for him to rest and digest for 30 min and then burp him if needed now, otherwise he pukes his food. Follow your gut

That’s great. For some bubs this period is just when the bub is a bit more fussy then usual. So not necessarily crying but just a bit more restless than usual - preferring to be held and maybe having shorter naps and feeding more often.

Hi Emma, i delivered via c-sec at 37 weeks.. my daughter now nearing 4 weeks from week 2 sleeps a few hours during night and is unable to sleep during day. I live in a huge household and everyone wants to play with her leaving her stimulated throughout the day. It’s difficult to explain to them to leave the baby alone, since her sleep hours only range from 5 to 9 hours in 24 hours only. Please suggest what to do? Is this much sleep enough for a newborn? It’s been 3 weeks since she slept properly during the day. Also daylight does not help much.

You should consider blackout blinds. A completely pitch black room, with no lights from monitors, aircon/heaters, toys etc will help your baby sleep during the day. White noise will also help block out the noise from the household. Good luck!

I dont have a baby, i dont think I want to have a baby... Yet here i am absorbing info

as a new mom, i too thought that it is a must to burp a baby, and get anxious when my daughter doesn’t. after some time, i realise that that is perfectly fine (i do get her in burping position for a few mins just to get the milk down tho)! in fact, most of the time she’d get too drowsy after a feed that she’ll fall asleep BEFORE i could even try to burp 😂

@EmmaHubbard

Жыл бұрын

Exactly, they are often drowsy or asleep after a feed and burping can actually wake them back up and then you need to settle them back to sleep again. If the bub doesn't get fussy or unsettled when they don't get burped it can make the process a whole lot easier and quicker.

Plz help me or suggest me something my baby is 11 months old and from last 2 months she is having severe constipation but now this issue is resolved now i notices that she lift her legs and putting her hands on chest her back and pamper area become sweaty and feets become cold and produce sounds like ehm ehm ehm like she is in trouble.

mine is neh for hungry, ehh for burping. nair gas. so far.... hes 3 month old now and it seems consistent mine hasn't done the purple crying yet... interesting... i keep being told i have a good baby. yesterday he got vaccinated cried for 10 seconds then went off to sleep... cried little bit on and off.. even ate the entire oral vaccine... i was told by a lady whos been doing it for a long time the same thing... i wonder why? is it because he has higher pain tolerance because of my life long chronic pain may have something to do with it? my mom not here anymore so i cant ask her...

Where i live, a baby crying for longer then 2 hours non stop is a trip to the hospital! A baby crying for 5 hours is considered neglect

Not every baby has a witching hour. My son doesn’t, but I know I’m lucky. By paying attention to his cues he doesn’t cry for more than 5-10 minutes a day. I feel for anyone experiencing witching hour. I would probably cry if my baby cried for even 20 min
