Praying for Rachel 🙏 please pass on to her these little bundles of love don’t come with an instruction manual imagine learning a new language you don’t know the basics so everyday you practice and believe me practice makes perfect feeding and changing a nappy is all it takes, imagine you’ve come so far your 6months in already that’s amazing! Sending bests wishes from Ruby x

Done! God bless her!

Kim you are the sweetest. I wish when I had our 2 children that I had this kind of encouragement. Thank you for all you do for everyone!

Mum of 3 under the age of four. What I have learnt. - have hospital bag which is nappy bag but has essentials for mum & dads siblings hanging next to the door mobile phone charger etc. - have a lasagna cooked in the freezer ready to put in the oven if you are tiered you get asked for dinner you can tell hubby put lasagna in the oven - let people hold your baby when you are ready not when they are.

I’m 69, and we never had this much mercy. Thanks for being so real. You bless me. When I was the young mom of two, my second being only two weeks old, I really wanted to mop the floor in the kitchen. It was a hot July day, and I tripped over the mop bucket and spilled it. I called my mother in tears, and she came and took care of it. I had no help from the father of my children. I’ve moved on. I’m a grandmother and retired teacher now. That was almost 45 years ago.

So sorry to hear the father wasn't supporting you postpartum. That makes it so difficult!

One more tip for visitors, I would recommend sitting/laying on a couch in your living room so you can escape to your bedroom. We had two couples come visit with my first when she was a week old and since the ladies were in our bedroom I couldn't leave. And they didn't have children yet so didn't think to leave themselves and I couldn't get myself to ask them to. My baby slept the full 6 hours even though I desperately needed to wake her up and feed her but I had low supply so it's not simply putting the baby to the breast. When they finally left, I bawled even though I acted like everything was fine when they were there.

Kim, you are a blessing to new Moms I am certain. Such great advice. I am now a grandmother but remember only too well the struggles of being a new Mom. As wonderful as it is (was), the struggles are real but I hope you all give yourselves grace during this time and never be afraid to ask for help when you feel overwhelmed. There is almost always someone who would come if only you reach out. After all, people cannot see through walls so they won’t necessarily know if a new Mom needs help if they don’t ask when they need it! You gave such great advice! 😘

I appreciated the segment about getting away from social media. I would scroll through reels and I could literally feel them sending my mind and body into panic/danger mode. Getting off has been the only way I can make progress healing myself pp. Thanks for making this video ❤

Yes! I've unfollowed so many accounts since being postpartum. The video are genuinely made to encourage and educate moms but depending on where you find yourself postpartum, it can be a really negative thing.

Not gonna lie the last part made me cry because it was what I needed to hear. Social media is great but depending on your mental state, not so good. Looking back I can see how much that affected me postpartum and still is!

You are a delightful young lady!!! Back in my day, if a woman showed herself any grace she was marked as selfish. This is a much needed video and Outstanding tips and tricks that are sure to help.

You are amazing! Great information!

This would have been some great advice to my younger self. You are so blessed to have family that can come in and help. I didn’t. Take care of yourself. You’re doing a great job.

Words of Wisdom Kim. Much Love from NC❤

Kim, you are amazing! Even though I have just one little one at the moment, I really am encouraged by your videos and makes me look forward to having more little ones in the future. Lord willing! ❤ Thank you for this very encouraging video!

I'm two weeks postpartum. Thank you so much I needed encouragement sooo bad. ❤

Great video Kim! Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom and info on products for postpartum. I found this very helpful as I’m currently pregnant with my rainbow baby and trying to prepare myself for motherhood and the pp journey❤

You are tremendously entertaining and have a kind heart😁 Many more happy thoughts for the women out there that need your words of wisdom 🙏🏼Blessings to you, Darrell and your boys🥰

Good advice for young mamas. You have a sweet family ❤

I love how you ;keep it real. Good video!❤

Kim, you are a precious, delightful and refreshing young lady. Your family is blessed to have you. ❤

Kim, you are so sweet. You gave terrific suggestions and support to those in need. Hugs to you and your family.

Love!

Kim, you are an amazing lady with a lovely personality, Godly mind and heart, and sweet spirit. You are doing a great work with your hubby, your boys, and your work here. Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad you are back on here regularly. Love from a fellow Hoosier and Christian wife and Mama.

Really helpful advice Kim.I am 75 and it is so interesting to know that new mums can have such help .You are looking amazing.😀🎉🐣

Love this. Such great advice for young moms. I’m a Nina ( what my grandson calls me lol ) now but I remember feeling so guilty with our firstborn when I couldn’t produce enough breast milk. Thank goodness there was no social media back then to guilt me even more. So here’s my 2 cents. New moms remember your baby and your situation is unique to you. Don’t fall into the comparison trap and guilt yourself. You do what works the best for your baby and your situation and don’t worry about what other people think. When our second child was born I was literally the Dairy Queen lol. I had so much milk. Every child and every birth is unique. Thanks for sharing this postpartum video that I know will be so helpful. Wish I had this when I was a first time mom. Take care 💙Cheryl

Loved this!

Great video Kim. You have matured so much since I started watching you when you were just a cat mom. Now you are the mom of 3 boys and helping other mothers with your videos. BTW how are those cats doing? I'm a grandmom and didn't those items you suggested. I'm not sure how we did it back then. 😊 I'm glad you shared all of your ideas, recommendations, and life lessons with the young moms. Post partem depression is a real thing and a struggle for many moms.

I’m two months postpartum and have good and bad days. Thankful for God’s strength and joy! 💛 I had to have an emergency c-section so recovering has been a physical and mental struggle for me. Thank you for your advice!

I love the humour in this video.

Eucalyptus was a good thing for me in the bath to sit and soak in. I also made sure that I had some time for just myself each day. I would delegate either my daughter or my husband to cook our supper while I went and soaked in the tub. I did this each day for the first month, then tapered off. I also would take time to go outside and take a short walk. Usually it was during the day while the baby napped and my daughter was doing school work. I would put the baby monitor by her so she could hear if the baby woke up. I carried my phone with me so she could reach me if needed. On my walks I would take a few minutes and just sit under a tree and take in the weather, birds and just not think at all.

This video was fantastic

That was a FABULOUS video.

Postpartum depression and anxiety is not talked about enough. . .it is REAL. Don't NOT tell anyone if you're struggling. I implore any Mama, new or multiples, make sure you have someone you can talk to. They don't have to understand, it's great if they can understand. (Fortunately unfortunately cuz that means they have been there) but sometimes just having a sounding board and a safe place where you can cry to or whatever you need at the time. Make sure it's someone who won't make you feel like you're crazy because that will just make it worse, you already feel crazy enough most likely. If anyone reading this needs a person like that and doesn't have one, let me know❤

This was great

Just here to say earth mama's products are amazing. Found them when i was postpartum with my second child. And recommend to every new mom.

Wish we could be friends in real life! You are so encouraging and I loved this video and needed it so much!!❤️❤️❤️

Minerals!! Our body gets depleted during pregnancy and then PP! A prenatal won’t cut it…PLEASE consider getting a mineral supplement, I prefer shilajit and a mineral supplement from Select Balance. Supplementing with minerals completely changed me the 3rd time around. The first 2 I had bad PPD and was so depleted❤️

Please link the muffin liners you use, they are super cute! You packed in a lot of good info for new Moms. 😊

Motherlove nipple cream is also an AMAZING option. And the Claraderm spray from young living used as perineal spray is very healing. Super B vitamins from Young living really helped me with mood and energy.

The MUFFINS!! LOL I love it!! 😂

Loved this video! :)

Your muffin blunder story 2 days postpartum would have made me cry if I messed something up that I put effort into, especially at a time like that😭

Depends are life girl 😂 I couldn't have done without them and they are actually super comfortable 😅 Thank you for the helpful advice ❤

Great advice! Adult diapers!! I would have done this. My Baby is 15! One thing I did after having my last baby was stretch out those baby meals. My Mom was with me for 2 weeks. So I asked church to hold off on meals till she had left. I did not have to cook for a month!!

About to have my first baby in two months... thank you for the advice!

Aw congratulations! You got this!

I would say one of the biggest things about after having a baby do not be afraid to ask for help whatever that means… physical or mental.

@kimmartin I promise I was listening to your video, but then you made those muffins and while I was still hearing you, all I could think about was how I need that recipe and oh my soul, where did you get those liners? Soooo cute!!! Anyways, you are HILARIOUS and I love your videos! You have the cutest boys….besides my own 3 boys! Keep up the good work!!

Back 43 years ago dads didn’t get paid time off. I wish I would’ve had help 3 kids in4 years was rough.

Ich finde es erschreckend, welcher Druck auf junge Mütter ausgeübt wird,sie sollen am besten funktionieren, als sei nie etwas gewesen, am besten nach 2 Wochen wieder arbeiten, dabei das Baby nicht vernachlässigen...

What help me . Getting outside.

Oh my girl!! How do you get your body back so fast? My little guys is 20 months old and is still look 4 months pregnant🤦🏻‍♀️. I wear binding(for lack of a blank mind) shorts a lot when I go out to special places like showers, get togethers and church.

Kim, what a big blessing to have your mom to come be on board for you and your little family. Consider yourself blessed and I know you. Not everyone has that. ❤

Did you try any herbal remedies for postpartum depression? Or postpartum in general? I had terrible anxiety and depression with my first, and I'm always on the lookout for recommendations in this area.

We talk about...Dr. Pepper! ❤❤❤❤❤

Mom of 3 and 2 months postpartum. This postpartum season has been the easiest for me. I heard that magnesium can help with baby blues so I took that this time. Not sure if the magnesium is what helped or having a better sleeping baby.

I used different nipples creams with my first baby and felt like they never helped heal. I invested in Silverettes with my second baby and they truly saved my breastfeeding journey because they heal you in a matter of hours. Used them with my third as well. I have not touched nipples cream since my first baby!

Yes! All you do it put them on your nipples in between feedings! Slip them under the bra, and voila. That’s all there is to them!

Stay in bed!! Ladies get some rest!! Even if that other mom is already going shopping and cooking and baking a few days postpartum. You really should rest or you'll regret it later!!!

Your muffin fiasco…I threw a whole batch of chilli because the spices were wrong. And I mean WRONG! It was inedible. I did 😭. I was going so fast to finish putting it together before the baby woke. Stress cooked a lot during those first months just to get something done.

❤ Load this video you always Have great videos. You're an amazing mom.❤ God bless

What is a peri bottle? You haven't explained. I don't understand. Please give an explanation of what it is. X

@heatherjohnson2511

A peri bottle is for washing your feminine area, as it heals from birth, you need to be gentle and a peri bottle gently sprays water there, you can add a gentle soap or a little vinegar to it as well, it's just a nice way to clean yourself without using a wash cloth. It so sensitive after giving birth, a peri water bottle cleans with out harshness or pain.

@@heatherjohnson2511 thank you so much. I really appreciate your explanation. I didn't know know what it was for. Thank you. 😊

More advice, please moms watch the shape of your children’s heads. You can’t be putting them on their backs all the time. It flattens the backs of their heads and gives them huge foreheads. Never have I seen so many children with flat heads.

All of these tips were awesome!!! One new thing I discovered/tried for my last post partum were silver nipple shields. GAME. CHANGER. I had NO pain at the beginning when things are usually extremely tender & raw. I never even used a cream- it was that great!!! Now I recommend them to my friends. They are a little pricey on Amazon but well worth the investment.

I Absolutely love your videos I'm always so happy when I see that there is another video from you and you take about Nipple cream i have Use Nipple cream. And it did help for me.
