DO NOT GIVE CHILDREN UNDER 2 HONEY!!

Suggestion from a Mom of 4 - save your bottle feeding for daytime when you can afford to wait for it to warm up and nurse at night. Don't turn on any lights, change Hailey, not talking to her and quietly nurse her, burb her and put her back in her bassinet. Any lights or interactions will only completely wake her up, stimulate her and she won't go back to sleep quickly. It'll work 8 times out of 10. Sweet nighttimes!

My first, I had a very difficult delivery with extensive 3rd degree tears that took two doctors over two hours to sew up, and me a year to fully heal. The babe catnapped 15 minutes out of every hour around the clock for the first six months. So, no such thing as sleep. He projectile vomited, protectile pooped, and was colicky. I wore bath sheets to burp him because he would soak the whole thing with one burp. It was quite the introduction to motherhood! I remember a little old lady coming up to me during that time and telling me to "treasure the season because it was the best time of my life" 😱 ... and I thought if it gets any "better", I'll die! Lol 🤪😭🤪 All our other babies were so much easier in comparison, thank God! I've just been amazed by the ease of your journey. It just goes to show that we all travel different paths. God bless your sweet little family!

Love listening to Hailey talking, smiling at her mommy and daddy.

Hailey is a doll baby!! Y’all are doing a great job with her! I can’t get over how happy and content she is!

Oh my gosh. While Hailey was waiting for her bottle, looking around, she looks exactly like Travis. She has his eyes ❤ but wait a week or so, she’ll look like Katie ❤

I’m a Lactation Consultant. Ideally mom should not skip any feedings if she wants to protect her milk supply. If the baby gets a bottle, she should be pumping during that time. This is because breastmilk supply works on supply and demand. If it’s feeding time, and mom does not nurse or pump, that sends a message to the brain that she has too much milk, and it cuts back on production. That being said, missing a feeding once in a blue moon probably won’t hurt anything I wouldn’t do it every day.

You really need a sling or carrier. Baby wearing allows Hailey the contact she needs and allows mom or dad to be able to get things done! She's adorable!! ❤❤❤

I’ve been a NICU nurse for over 30 years and that’s one of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen!

My (unsolicited) advice with feedings at night is keep lights off, get a nightlight if needed to see, and don’t do things that encourage her to stay awake. The calmer the feeding is the more relaxed she’ll be and she’ll easier to fall back asleep. This is something I learned with my newborn that helped a lot.

Best thing for milk supply is to never skip a feed. Make sure you pump for every bottle you feed. That plus TONS of water, brewers yeast pills, and oats!!

Haileys loving stare at Katie in the beginning is precious

Oh my goodness. Hailey is adorable and a little doll. What a blessing for her too be raised in a Christian home. God bless y'all.....😊

Travis you are doing an amazing job being Hailey's dad, mistakes are all part of it and the fact you are willing to do everything for her is admirable. She is such an angel indeed 💓

Okay, for real, Hailey is literally the most precious baby I've seen! Y'all are such great parents, and I love watching your sweet family! Much love to ya'll from Kansas. ♥🤍

When my daughter was born she was an amazing baby (and still is) but she also started getting fussy weeks after birth and it was mainly because of the food I was eating. There are surprisingly a lot of foods that cause our babies to have gassy tummies from our milk. Hope this was helpful 🥰 Hailey is so precious!

Hailey is so cute, reminds me of my daughter, she is now 45, seems like yesterday when she was born, cherish every moment because it goes so fast, take care, from Australia 🇦🇺

You all are too sweet! You share the reality of parenthood if people dislike it, they don’t have to watch. You are doing an amazing job!

She's so cute!!! So precious!! And the way she's watching you as you talk to her is adorable. She's so intent on listening, looking at you the whole time

She is so adorable!!! Enjoy every stage because it goes by so quickly.

Thanks you guys! Love seeing your life and your precious baby Hailey James! Praying for your little family! God is good! 💕

She is so precious! You both are great parents. Enjoy each day as they go. Loving family memories are the best...🤗💜🕊

She is a live doll, you both such great parents. Sending love to you all 🥰🙏

She’s precious, and you both are doing great with her. ❤ She’s so alert.

Thank you for sharing a life in the day with Hailey! I love you all! God bless you! ❤️🙏

Your family is just too sweet, it's so fun to watch you guys and Hailey is just a little doll!

Enjoy every minute!!! My children are in their fifties and I love them and worry about them just like I did when they were babies!! Blessings to you all.

Her smiling is seriously the cutest it instantly put a smile on my face!! Hailey is the cutest! Loved watching this!! Love you guys!

Hailey is absolutely adorable. Katie, motherhood looks good on you. And Travis, singing to your little girl. Aww.

Yes, we liked this 24 in the life...video. Travis coming to realization of the limits to perfectionism is inspiring. Inspiring to forgive... first oneself and probably then forgiving others more easily... Parenting is the ultimate effort and reward.

Enjoy every moment with your precious little one! They grow fast! God bless and protect you.

She is so so cute!!! There is a wonder week at 8 weeks old! Its one of the developmental stages and they get really fussy during it! There is an amazing app you can get that shows you when they will go through a wonder week and what to expect during that leap and gives you lots of info. It was SO helpful for me when I had babies, I knew when they were going to be really fussy and it gave me peace of mind, and also when to look forward to the calmer phases!!

She is absolutely precious and oh my goodness does she look like Travis at the moment! She is so beautiful

I absolutely love how natural and down to earth they are💕💕💕 and plus, Hailey is such a cute little gumdrop🥺🥺🥺 God bless you guys 🙏🙏🙏

Best thing about Travis becoming a parent? He has loosened up SO much!! It’s awesome! Love you guys!

This is a precious video! Hailey seems to be progressing beautifully and her parents seem to be doting, which is great! Y'all are doing a wonderful job as new parents. Your little family is so sweet! Love love love this!

Y’all are such great parents! You can really tell how much you care about Hailey and each other. Y’all are awesome and we loved this video!

A baby crying in church is a beautiful sound!

"Seed" is GREAT. I had some very difficult issues and since taking seed it has stopped. IBS, heartburn, etc. Haley is an absolute doll, you both are such great parents. Just enjoy each moment. Time goes by before you know it.

She is precious. Right now she looks just like her daddy for sure. I love she is so alert.

Hailey is so precious and a` sweet smile. She looks like a very happy baby. Enjoy her while she is little because they grow up so fast

Hailey James is a baby doll!!! Precious time just precious. Yall are great parents. Loved the hug Remmi gave Travis.

I chuckled a little bit when Travis said middle of the night 4 am.Hailey is precious. You two are amazing first time parents.

Travis you are a natural parent. You’re willingness to go with the flow and relax those “must always be on time” tendencies will go far. Enjoy every minute, it will go by faster than you can imagine.

She is the cutest baby! Y’all are truly blessed. She’s so sweet. I think she’s going to be a cuddle bug. Congrats again and God Bless y’all! We love ya❤

I love your videos. They are always fun to watch. Hailey is such a beautiful baby girl. You both are doing an awesome job at parenthood.

So sweet she isn't sleeping because she can now see the world around her , I love the way she looks right at the camera she is such a beautiful angel!

Katie- you are such a sweet Mommy and are so blessed to have Travis. I am so happy God allowed your paths to cross. When he was singing to Haley, playing the guitar. It made me cry!!

She is one of the most adorable babies I have EVER seen!!! You two are wonderful parents 😊

I just want to say that it has been a joy watching y'all become parents. Travis is so in love and watching him be so nervous at the thought of a newborn (which I totally understand.....been there) to always smiling and telling Hailey how much he loves her. The best is when he keeps saying look at how cute she is....she's so beautiful.....It's just so amazing to watch. Y'all are doing a great job!!

WHAT A BLESSING being able to watch you two precious souls learning how to do the most important thing you will ever do. Travis managing Hailey alone and putting the outfit on backwards cracked me up. She is the most beautiful baby i have ever seen . SHe looks like a fake doll bc she is so perfect, Thank you for sharing your lives and being such a wonderful role model for our youth. We desperately need more young ppl like you. You can literally see love by looking at your faces while you are looking at her. That is pure love. You are wonderful parents. If every child was raised with the love and appreciation you have for her this world would have no evil. Please consider doing and DITL daily blog. I would watch every day. You guys make me smile so big

I love watching the three of you together it’s so cute! She’s a beautiful baby girl ❤ You’re doing great you learn as she grows and just keep loving her and cherish the moments with her they grow to fast 😊 keep singing with her! Thanks for sharing her with us, she’s adorable 💙🩷💜

I know people have mentioned before that Hailey looks like Travis’s mom, and she really does! I know we’re going to see Bates resemblances before too long, but I think it’s so sweet that we can see her grandmother to start with.

Where did that time go😮.....enjoy every moment it passes quickly. Your amazing parents to that precious little baby. She is very lucky....❤

Try to let her get exercise like tummy time and an activity mat that she plays with throughout the day so that she works out her energy and sleeps better

I love your video's you both are awesome!!! I am the mother of four and my youngest is 31 so yes it goes by very quickly. You are doing it right by enjoying every moment.

Travis I love your music and have also been following the Bates family for a long time. I am blessed by each and everyone of them as they are living their lives. Katie your a great Mom and thanks for taking the time both of you to bless us with your video's.
