I always thought I'd have my mom around to teach me all about taking care of babies when the time came. My mom passed away a few years ago, and now my husband and I are talking about beginning to start a family. I felt scared and panicked when I realized the time was coming and I didn't have her around to ask questions. Your channel has been a lifesaver. It's giving me so much peace of mind. Thank you.

My mom passed 8 months before my daughter was born and my in-laws are in the UK so it’s def it’s tuff but I’m grateful for the age we live in and the ease and broad range of information at our fingertips. Before the Internet I only imagine books and family/friends passed down “tips” were the limited sources where my mom as well as her mom would get their info from. Today we have tons of videos and groups etc so we are def super blessed for that. I just research and pick and choose what I like and what works! Good luck....

You saved my life. From not knowing what to do to putting my fussy baby to sleep in 2 minutes, you helped me do it through a single video, crazy. The ssh shh sound and the putting him very close to chest just work like magic.

I came to this video in desperation, with my crying 3 week old who refuses to sleep all day, as the video was playing I was doing everything you recommended and I can not even believe that he went to sleep. I had tried a lot of the recommendations but it was the first time trying the side lying position with sway&bounce…it worked and I’m so thankful to you

thank you i really needed this ; my son is 9 weeks old and has been really fussy lately; been watching you since i was 36 weeks pregnant and your tips and techniques helped me through contractions, postpartum recovery and my milk supply so thank you so so much. i hope you consider doing a video on nipple shields ..weaning is so hard and i would love to hear your opinion on it .have a nice day

Thank you for this kind offering. Becoming a mom myself and I watched this tonight with my Fiance. We appreciate you! Read the comments from people that have felt the need to criticize you for just saying mama's. yuck.. sorry you have to read such lame replies to your beautiful gift. You're awesome.. keep shining!

Through out my pregnancy 🤰🏽 im so thankful for her channel- I’ve been watching and learning everything I know from all her videos ❤️🥺

Yes ! Thank you for talking about chiropractic for babies !!! Not enough people do !!! It really works. My little niece had all the classic signs of subluxation and she only had to go once to a chiropractor and they fixed her right up. The colic crying fits stopped ! What a huge blessing it was ! She recently went back to a chiropractor at 4 years old and her spine looked amazing on the scan. Only had to have one little adjustment to her neck and she was good to go ! I’m such a fan of chiropractic. I can’t say enough about it.

That side lying hold while shushing was a life saver! Thank you

Perfect. My baby is 3 weeks old now!

You seem so sweet and nice, and it's clear you know what you're doing!! I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant and doing my best to prepare. Thank you for this!

Sincere thanks Bridget for all your wonderful job. Thanks to your content we had an amazing delivery, first time mom here at 37 with a lovely baby boy. Continuing to watch your work on baby advices and they are amazing.

Just wanted to say thank you for your videos. They are really informative and often times comforting for/to someone like me (first time mom). This video couldn't have been timed better! Just had my son on the 11th and I've found it emotionally difficult to find ways to soothe my newborn. This video gave me insight on what I could do to make life with my newborn a little less stressful! God bless you for this video! You're such an awesome person! 👍👍👍👍

6:28 - Thank you for leaving this part in. I love seeing humans make videos! Seeing you tongue twist made me smile lol.

This video helped so much! My 4 month old has been cranky all day and I guess it was the reflux. I swaddled her and kept her head higher than the belly and she has calmed

Bridget: With having had 6 babies all by vaginal delivery & had the 3 one with ‘torticollis’… she favored the left side grately & it was corrected over time by sleeping baby on te opposite side.. the less favored side. Initially baby fussed but we began doing so for 15 minutes & back to normal thereafter - extending the time opposite to Favored side. And tho it took a few weeks, this took care of 13:46 Torticollis. My sister in law was a Physical Therapist & we caught it early & am also RN & a midwife so by the 3 child Mama got the drift of the direction to follow.. Calm Mom makes for calmer babies so The best to all new Moms 🥰

Thanks for watching, Mama! Now, tell me- What's your favorite baby item?

So happy my chiropractor works with babies.

Very useful video, gives a good ideas. Also I wanted to mention the importance of the physiotherapy in case the baby has torticolis, don’t send a baby to a masseuse unless is for relaxing baby massage. Therapeutic treatment always should be done for experienced professionals.

I think I'm going to make videos for dads because I believe no one thinks we exit.

Saving this to watch when i have free time! Thanks! I needed this with my 2,5 mo baby😭

Such great advice

Hey Bridget, I've just given birth to my first son. I've been watching your videos since I found out I was pregnant back in July of 2022. You've been an incredible encouragement to me thank you. I have a request for a video. Can you do a video for new dads and maybe have your partners input? My boyfriend is having a little more of a hard time coping with the crying and is having trouble soothing our son. He's doing his best. If there's any advice you have it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So helpful. Thanks alot 😊💗

Hi Bridget, thank you so much for your videos. One thing i wanted to recommend each and every mom of a newborn, is to take her baby to an osteopath who's specialty is working with the newborns. Not a cheropract or massagist, only an osteopath! They check the baby and bring their whole body to a balance, and that includes all the body systems and internal organs. All babies have their little/bigger traumas from their position in the womb during the pregnancy, or those coused by the birth. It really worked well for both of my sons.

Can you do a video explaining what to do when your baby has reflux?

Thanks helped a lot

Thank You ❤

Peds OT here. I would caution against seeing a chiropractor for torticolis. Chiropractors tend to focus on spinal / bone alignment whereas torticolis is a imbalance in the neck musculature, specifically the sternocleidomastoid muscle. I would recommend occupational or physical therapy not only to address the SCM tightness, but also to address other developmental milestones impacted by torticolis, such as visual motor integration (eye muscle control), grasping, eye hand coordination, postural control / strength, and more. An OT / PT will also assess for plagiocephaly (flat spot) and brachiocephaly (cone headed) to see if a positioning program will be sufficient or if further evaluation for a head orthotic is required. Love your videos - I love to watch them while pumping through the night!

@annatossell

chiropractic assistant here. i totally agree but newborns should get adjusted anyways after birth because birth is very traumatic on the neck. PT is great for muscles but if you’re building healthy muscle structure on bad skeletal structure then it doesn’t help the nervous system properly bcs the neck or back could still be misaligned putting pressure on a nerve and preventing other functions in the body so it’s great to go just to check because chiropractic can help with latching issues colic and digestion! hope this helps :)

Haha I was carrying my crying baby when I clicked on your video. It’s like you were watching me lol

My baby was crying her eyes out and once she heard your voice she immediately fell asleep 🤷🏼‍♀️ what magic do you Possess

Does it matter which side to do the "I love you" move?

Thank you so so much 😭😭 He just wouldn’t stop crying or go to sleep. I started doing what you were saying as I was watching the video and it worked in 5 minutes

As a dad, I’m also watching your videos

My tip is 1) additionally you can see a cranio sacral therapist to adjust that neck for baby. I can attest from my first baby experience how powerful and 100% safe that can be. 2) budget friendly White noise option is KZread, tons of white noise videos to lull baby for free

Vertical position and “shshsh” and white nose are the best remedy! 👍

Hi Bridget! I was wondering about goat’s milk- how soon can lactose intolerant newborns start consuming goat’s milk? And do I need to seek out goat’s milk specifically for newborns, or can regular goat’s milk do the trick?

@tiffanylee334

Goats milk still contains lactose. Less than cows' milk, but still contains it. A baby will have less of a reaction to goats milk, but there will still be an adverse reaction. Even adults with lactose intolerance are advised to avoid goats milk.

Wow I already do the ssh sound. My son loves it, and I lay him on his side in bed/bassinet and carry him in side position sometimes for just a short time

I hate that my partner didn’t want me to swaddle baby and I was suffering from baby’s not sleeping. And finally I did it against father’s wish and now it feels better

When should I introduce my baby to a pacifier? He’s one week old, the lactation consultant at the hospital told me to stay away from them but there’s times where he’ll just make sucking noises or just suck on his hand so I try to give him his bottle to see if that’ll help and he’ll move away from it. I would like to try the pacifier though.

I shared this with my friend’s daughter to share with her husband who has no idea how to soothe a crying baby.

Any tips on hiccups??

Can you please do a video about transitioning a baby out of a swaddle? My 3 month old is starting to break out of hers at night and is starting to roll, so I know it's time.

Hey mommas.... And papas!

This is a great video. I notice you said hold a baby upright for 15-20 mins after they eat to help with digestion, i never do that. Is that necessary?

I've been enjoying your videos in preparation for the birth of my baby. The only thing about this particular video that I don't like is your advice on torticollis. If a baby has suspected torticollis, it is best for them to be evaluated by a pediatric physical therapist, not a chiropractor. It typically requires several interventions, most importantly parent education to help correct. In my experience, a chiropractor does not have the knowledge to effectively treat this condition.

My 6 week old gets fussy after breastfeeding in the mornings and stays awake for 2 or 3 hours crying unless mami (Me!) rocks her around. In the afternoons, when dad is home, she bottles feeds, burps and sleeps with no fighting. We are changing bottles, formulas, Im adjusting my diet but I wonder if my baby is crying bc of gasses how come when I rock her, she calms down? And in the afternoons and evenings she is not fussy coincidentally when she is under the car of daddy. Is it really gasses or what? Im going nuts bc from 7am to 12pm I can’t do anything but try to make her sleep :(

Till what age do you swaddle a baby?

What do you do if they’re screaming full of gas and can’t massage? How do you relieve them by that stage

What are your favorite newborn parenting/pregnancy/ birth books? I am pregnant and would love to know what you know!!

Thank you! My baby girl is 6 weeks old and since she’s been about 3 weeks old we’ve had terrible problems with belly. First of all she’s been gasy and/or colicky, secondly she has terrible reflux, to the point that I worry sometimes she’ll choke on her spittle. She also does the back arching when she’s feeding quite often and it feels like I’m fighting with her every time I breastfeed her. It’s emotionally and physically draining. Do you have any more tips?

@@skybluecrafts5494 I can usually tell now during feedings when she starts getting uncomfortable and that’s when I burp her. Usually she ends up spitting a lot with the burp. I recently noticed that also the key is to see if she’s fine after this one burp/spittle, or is sth still bothering her. If she’s not crying and not actively going for the breast (she also refuses her pacifier then) I like to wait her out because usually she ends up spitting again before she’s ready to eat more. For nights in order to get all three of us opportunity to have a decent sleep I’ve been giving her sth called espumisan (but I’m from Poland so you might not have that). It’s drops that are supposed to help passing gas. I would say it helps most of the time. Other than that I don’t have any golden tips sadly.
