    You are doing fantastically well, I could barely leave the house for six months after having my second- let alone have time to get in front of a camera to make helpful videos!! Probably the toughest few months of my life. I hope you’re being kind to yourselves and reminding one another daily! -Best wishes from a fellow Doctor/Mum of 2

    I could have used this 3 weeks ago when I was trying to get my newborn in there! Thankfully I had a friend who helped me. Also, the Koala carrier has been lifechanging. I love the Moby but having the cross already done when your 5 week old is screaming is amazing.

    We ditched the wraps pretty quickly for a K’tan wrap and a soft carrier. I now see the thing we were missing was the pre-tightening. 😅 That said, it worked out for the best; baby’s clubfoot correction process makes baby wearing a chore anyway, and reducing effort in other ways helped a lot.

    This is a great video! I was so overwhelmed and afraid of hurting my newborn with the wrap. He HATED being wrapped, he always fought unless he was really sleepy. It made me think I was hurting him. I'm expecting #2 and feeling so much more confident this time around. I'm gonna wear that baby all the dang time.

    My baby was small too and I carried him in the solly wrap. Just make sure it’s tight to give support to baby and also high (in that “kissable” range). He loved it and would always fall asleep in the wrap.

    I know it's a bit of a "taboo topic", but could you and your husband please do a video on THC/marijuana and breastfeeding/pregnancy? I know a lot of women who were using it medically before/after baby to help them with long term issues and none of them ever feel comfortable talking about it at appointments due to the stigma surrounding it! It would be incredible to hear about the topic from a medical viewpoint of harmful effects, breastmilk contamination, etc without the fear of being reported or judged for asking questions of your provider

    Emily Oster touches on this in the updated version of her book Expecting Better. Unfortunately the data is still really limited and the studies on it aren’t very good yet. There is some evidence that it may be associated with higher rates of preterm birth, but it’s not conclusive.
