I love these updates! I CANNOT believe he’s already 8mo! 😭 it feels like you just had him!

I love how real and honest you are! Your the best mom a child could ever ask for!

I love watching Jackson's updates. My daughter is 6 weeks younger so these always give me a glimpse of what's to come!❤

Regarding the biting while nursing - what you mentioned might be causing more biting. The best thing to do is try to not react or scream (some babies find this funny or amusing), and calmly say "Ouch, that hurts mama." and remove him from the breast. If you keep doing that consistently he will learn that if he bites the milk stops. If he happens to REALLY bite and clamp down, pull him into the breast towards you and he should unlatch (don't worry if his nose gets covered - he will unlatch for sure and pull his head back). Also pretty silly that your doc recommended breastfeeding on a schedule - that's not how breastfeeding works (scheduled feeding is for formula only). Good for you for feeding on demand and following his cues!! Bonus tip: the phrase "still nursing" has a bit of a negative connotation. I prefer to say "I'm CONTINUING to nurse." You are doing a great job mama! Keep it up :)

I definitely love these videos, my son turns 7 months in 4 days, so it's really helpful seeing what other babies are eating.

The fact that you’re able to put out these videos every week is amazing!!! Absolutely love watching them and adore your cute little fam! 💗

I have a 3 yo daughter and 5 month old son. We were told by our pediatrician that it is typical for boys to reach motor/physical milestones earlier and girls reach verbal milestones earlier. That has definitely been true for us so far too :)

i cant belive jackson is 8 months old, it has gone really quick, god knows where the time goes!!! he is adorable and very cute, i bet he is a good boy for you. xxx

You are such a good mama!! 😊 I was struggling with feeling pressure to schedule my 6 month old's nursing, and then I read a few days ago this post that totally changed my view on it. It pretty much just compared how when we are hungry or thirsty we can just go get a snack or drink and we don't think "can't eat yet because it hasn't been 3 hours" and it really put it in perspective for me. It's just stressful to worry about changing a schedule that you're happy with just because someone else says to.

Jackson sounds like my daughter Lily when it comes to sleeping! Lol My daughter didn’t really consistently take long naps until around 9 1/2 months. She’s 11 1/2 months now and she takes 2 really good naps now thank the lord! 👏🏼🙏🏻😂 I truly believe it’s all developmental. When they take those short naps or can’t get back to sleep their brains can’t shut it off cause they are developing so much. My daughter still gets up at least once during the night but it’s usually for a quick cuddle which I so don’t mind:) but cheers to getting some sleep again! I feel like it gets better and better as time goes on. ❤️

I did the opposite with biting. Whenever my baby girl bit me I made no vocal reaction I just immediately unlatched her and stopped feeding her. It's been about 2 weeks since she started and in the past couple days she hasn't bitten me at all 🙌

Can't believe Jackson is already 8mths,him and Riley are beyond adorable...Love watching your videos ❤

I love my almost 2 month old and don’t want to seem like I’m rushing his life along...but I can’t wait for him to sleep through the night! It’s going to be so much better for all of us to get more rest.

Diaper changes are like wrestling an alligator now 🤦‍♀️

The time flys by!!! 8 months already! Jackson is adorable, I love how he plays and explores. Miss Riley is also adorable 💙💗

So I watched Riley’s 8 month update first and then watched this one and wow, good job mama 👏🏼 you’ve grown so much as a vlogger and as a mom. I originally found your channel from Riley’s sleep training videos and have been watching ever since. You have two cuties and it’s so fun to watch them grow up and follow along with your fam! My baby girl is about a month behind Jackson btw 🥰

This video and your advice on eating and just doing what is best for you and your family was so helpful to me! I've been struggling with stress around BLW and we are just starting at 8 1/2 months to do a little more. But I feel a lot more comfortable right now doing a combo and I appreciate that you did some of this too before going full BLW!

That's the issue I think most mom's have, they think it has to be all or nothing. I did combo feeding too, and my daughter isn't picky at all now. She just turned a year. I think it's all about balance, and mom's should do what they're comfortable with. Baby feeding doesn't have to be all baby led weaning, or all purees. Balance is key.

You are such a lovely Mummy to Riley & Jackson 🥰.

Hi. My daughter is a month behind Jackson. I have found your videos so helpful for new ideas to try for my little one. Thank you for your time put into these videos with such a busy work load. God Bless, Precilla and Audrey

I'm so happy I found your channel, Kayla! I have a seven month old baby boy... I am thinking about sleep training him because I am so tired of co sleeping. We taught him to go sleep by himself in his cot..but he usually wakes up around 3 hours later and I pull him into my bed and will wake so many times after that! I am desperate for some good sleep!

Awe 8 months is such a fun time for baby’s! They are so cute! And baby Jackson is super adorable! Happy he is doing good with sleeping and eating 🥰

6pm bedtime- girl you are living the dream!! 🤣 my toddler was following a 6pn bedtime until 18 months and I miss it! My daughter had 4 teeth by 5 months and dropped nursing after that. That's awesome you are still going!😁

He is getting so big 😭😭 my last babe just turned 6 months and I cried 😂😩 I just can’t handle when they grow so fast.

Actually for Riley'a age it is very normal not to share and I have read somewhere that it is actually good for them bcz they define their things and teach them privacy somehow ...what I remembered from that is Between 2-6 years old it is normal not to share

Love watching these! My son is 2 months younger so I love seeing what is to come!

If you want longer crib stretches we found my son LOVES his crib aquarium, it straps to the side and he sits up and presses it on himself. Yes if he's turned it on he's not asleep but he will be happy and quiet for 20-30 min, which if he's up really early you can sleep another half hour and know he's safe and happy. And yes my son is more about physical skills then talking, apparently that's typical in boys I've been told 🤷

Hey Kayla have you tried nursing Jackson as soon as he wakes up and then before his nap in the dark with the white noise still on , it may help with the biting as he will be more calm. I’ve noticed my son bites me when I nurse him in the daylight and he’s fully alert lol!

Rylie looks so much like Joe and Jackson looks so much like you, to me.

Hi Kayla! I've been watching since you got pregnant with Jackson. I was only about 3 months at the time he was born but I've since welcomed my baby girl who is now almost 3 months old! Ha! I love watching your videos and look forward to all the uodated you give for baby Jackson. Looking forward to the months to come for my LO!!

It was so cute when Jackson put the ball in the Dropbox’s hole. Thanks for making an update video about Jackson’s toys. My son is about 2 weeks younger than Jackson. And he recently just got the Lovevery Inspection box to play. He doesn’t know how to play those toys yet. My son basically still put everything in his mouth 😆

Love your update videos! So helpful to know what's coming for my 5 month old 💞😍 I also love your DITL of a SAHM videos! 💜

Just wanted to say, I love watching your channel. Thank you for the links and for sharing. I am a mom of 6 and our youngest is 6 months. I have really enjoyed watching your journey. You are a wonderful Mom!

My son just turned 1 yesterday and he was a horrible napper as well. But now he been taking 2 great naps & still sleep great at night as well.

Another 30 min video! 👏👏👏

You both look so much happier and so much more rested!!

Love the updates. My daughter was born 3 days after Jackson, FTM, so these updates help me feel like we are on track. My girl is pulling herself up to standing all the time. Doesn't crawl very well yet, looks kind of like a gorilla when she does on one foot, one knee, and both hands lol. I've been doing the teething wafers, but otherwise just purees. I'm still too scared to try anything else in terms of real food. Hopefully I can get over it soon.

Love Jackson’s videos! My son is about a week older and they are SO similar!

Thanks for sharing your life. Been watching since I was pregnant with my lil boy. He is now 3 months. My husband now watches your channel with me lol. He says you’re the most realistic mom.

Children are precious

My son’s naps improved drastically around 7 MO when I stopped using huckleberry and used actual age appropriate wake window; i never had to do crib hour

My very favourite youtube fam;)

A very special toy or Teddy just for changing works wonders for some kids:) And a baby really does not NEED any screentime at all!

Love watching your videos!! Jackson is getting so big!! My baby Zoey just turned 10 months 🥰🤗

Love your videos! It’s crazy that my baby girl is also in 6-9 clothes & in size 2 diapers going into size 3 and she is only 4 months!

Love this update! Always gives me something to look forward and know what to expect lol. My little man is 4 days younger than him! And they have the same sleeping and nap pattern (this baby never naps longer than 30 mins before but I'm trying to sleep train him and it's kinda working)

Awww...sooo cute. My baby exactly ❤

So glad Jackson is sleeping better!! Can you please link your rug?!!

Hey Kayla thank you for the update. I was hoping you can also link that fireplace bumper...it's awesome I def need that same thing

lol "bye guys" sooo cute!!!

I love your videos and would love your opinion/ suggestion on something. I'm trying to sleep train my now 8 month old and for some odd reason he keeps waking up through out the night. He'll sleep maybe 6 hrs straight, but then wake up crying. I feed him an 8oz bottle before bed time so I don't think he's hungry. I'd love your opinion or any suggestions! They're all welcome!

Your baby is so cute.😍 My daughter just turned 6months. Time is flying by😭

Hi again I was wondering do you watch Milena Ciciotti she has some great videos of mother stuff

jackson is such a cutie!

Good morning, he’s such a cutie, yes your finally getting some sleep, lol😀❤️

Question: was this video at the end of the 8th month or the beginning?

One other mommy vlogger I watch has a son who hates diaper changes too. She has a bowl of his favorite snack nearby (veggie straws, I think), and gives him one to keep him distracted long enough to change him! Hopefully you find a "hack" that works for you!

Try coconut oil as a moisturizer...try more natural body wash.

Hello! Do you still suggest the 2 books you mentioned back when you started his feeding journey?

Wow so sweet baby uuumah

How did you sleep train him? My daughter is 5 months and still wakes up at night? And her naps are only 30min if I’m lucky.

It's nice for Jackson to have some early alone time with you. How do you encourage Riley to share? Hey, he's sleeping through the night. When he gets more active, he may do longer naps. Well, in addition to a loud OUCH or NO when he bites your breast, you need to pull him away from the breast temporarily so he directly associates that the biting of the breast is going to get him removed from the milk supply and not just stay there to do it again. When you pull him away you can say, "No, don't bite Mama." He has to learn not to bite people anyway. Then put him back for the rest of his feed. He'll learn that, just as he will learn what shapes go into what holes with his shape toys. Overtired will ruin his chances or Riley's of getting to sleep easily because their brains really cannot handle it. It is not behavioral, but rather developmental. It is why kids can become hysterical when overtired. Crib hour is another version of quiet time. They have to be down and stay there. They have to learn to wait for you to go get them and it needs to be a consistent amount of time. It's a good sign that the toy remote control and some other things don't keep his attention because he doesn't have to use his brain and his creativity to play with them. You push a button, it does whatever it does, and that's it. So, it's a good sign that he is going for the more advanced toys or ones that challenge him. One good thing the Montessori Method does is to define pretty clearly the stages of development in the brains of little ones, so we know what to focus on when their brain is in 'prime time' for that sort of developmental learning. He feels confined in the bouncer. But knowing the phase of brain development he's in will help you choose appropriate toys for his stage of openness to learning that allow him to really work with them for ages and master all that he can master about them and use his imagination with them. He is fairly verbal; he makes a lot of sounds. At this point you can feed him anything but honey and if there's an allergic reaction you will know what caused it, because probably everything else he ate he had already been eating. I think, actually, sort of full feed breast-feeding time is around 20 minutes, so he's close to average. Anything over that is usually just sucking for comfort. If he's teething, you want him chomping and sucking on a cool teether unless he actually needs a milk feed. Two or three times a week for him to poop is fine, so long as he isn't having a difficult time getting them out that causes him pain. Or if he doesn't have enough water in his system to make them readily passable. Teething babies would make a run on rusks if they knew how to run down the aisle at the grocery to get them and then pay for them. They almost all love them. Screen time is a negative distraction at mealtime. Does he drink water at meals? If he hates being changed, maybe that will encourage him to potty-train sooner rather than later. Allergies to food do not take the form of dry patches. They are more red blotches or raised rashes. I had to laugh at Riley lying about sharing her toys with Jackson. She will have a huge shock at daycare or preschool. You coach her verbally so much about loving you or loving Jackson, etc., that she knows exactly what she's supposed to say, even when it isn't true. And she smiled through it. I had to laugh. I have a friend who says if they are all alive at the end of the day, you did well.

Hey LOVE your videos 🥰👍and wanted to ask if there are any similar subscription play boxes that deliver in Europe ?

I love following your blog☺️ My guy will be 8m on the 30th! Zero teeth, 19lbs, wears 18-24m clothes! Which is wild because my first was always so tiny!!

Did you feed jackson at night after he was sleep trained

My daughter start walking at 9mths and she was so proud of herself then her 2 brothers came along and walked at 8mths 😁

It’s my friend Kayla lol love ur channel so much

Try giving him a little snack while changing him. Like a few puffs. That worked well for me!

He’s so cute

Wow ypur family is beautiful 🥰 When did riley said her first word

Riley banging on the mug reminds me of More Cowbell 😆

Glad Jackson is doing good and thanks for the update! I am 30 years old and still like a nap every day LOL!

my son is a week younger. he is walking and very active the problem is sleeping he wakes up after every 3hours at night it's frustrating

My LO is 8 month and i revisited this vlog again🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Good morning, today I tried to be brave and give my 8 months baby finger food and it's hard emotionally very terrifying to watch him gagging... he was the happiest version of himself haha making mess all over the place but on the other hand I was closing my eyes to avoid watching him gagging and scared him... I gave up completely 😝

Does anyone else’s 8 month old baby rock while sitting down ! She’s already crawling

Love ur videos !! R u guys still living in miami? Also will u be teaching spanish to ur babies? Xo

You just confirmed my child is a giant! 😂 He is 3 months in a size 2 diaper and 6 month clothes. Let’s hope he slows down a little! 🤣

My baby girl has the game controller too, she loves it, mostly puts it in her mouth lol. But now starting to push the buttons

Where did u get your necklace that said mana??

My son is 7 months and also freaks out for outfit changes! And kicks nonstop during diaper changes haha, it makes it SO difficult!

Where the mama necklace from

When did he start going to bed at 6:30 and sleeping through the night?

Our babies are the same age! does he pull up to stand? he might pull up on your furniture and practice stabilizing those core muscles :) he'll get there

My baby is one month older than Jackson, but he still doesn’t know how to put the ball into the box..

ugh the clothing and diaper changes are such a struggle right now. FTM here my little guy is 4 weeks younger than Jackson. I’m glad I’m not the only mother that dreads changing my babe😓

Hey he soo cute ❤❤

Whaaaaat? My son is 16 weeks and he’s in size three diapers 😭 he’s been in them for the last couple weeks!

A LITTLE PANCAKE 😂 🤮 My 5 month old loves to plank

Awwww

You said diaper size 2? My son is 7 months and wears size 4 and they are tight, esp luvs . and he wears size 12 m clothes. Either Jackson is really small or my son is really big.. Now im wondering if i need to cut back on his bottles.

So he’s not getting up at all at night to eat/ change diaper?! My daughter is the same exact age as Jackson and she is still getting up twice a night :(

maybe check into your laundry soap too for possible allergies............

Do you pump at night when he sleeps.

Love you

I have a seperate toy that my baby likes that he can only have when changing his diaper makes life so much easier.

💜

He’s so cute! Is your nickname for him Gordo? 🤣

He poops every tree or four day??!!. Hes foodportions are very very small.

First yayyyyy
