I want to birth at our local birthing centre second time round. It’s run by a team of incredible midwives, low tech (only gas is available, no epis etc), large and private rooms, very centred around the birthing persons preferences, but access to hospital if the need arises. Plus you get to stay for 2 nights after, there are lactation consultants on hand, a chef that cooks your meals and again, a team of excellent nurses and midwives. Best of all, it’s completely govt funded (as is most healthcare where I live). I would have birthed there the first time round but had twins which are inherently high risk and they only accept low risk births. But I can’t wait to birth there next time! 😍

I live in Denmark and here we are advised strongly to start solids latest at 6m, but the reason is that iron doesn't get through the breastmilk, while they do get it in the womb through the mother's blood, and they are born with enough iron to last them for about 6 months. Afterwards one risks the baby becoming anaemic, if they don't get any other food then breastmilk. It's just a higher risk, it's not like the baby will for sure get anemia, but all medical professionals recommend it strongly as a preventative measure.

Thank you for your explanation! It cleared up a few of my questions

@leza4453 Жыл бұрын

There are also always iron drops, if a baby doesn't eat iron-rich foods in the sufficient quantity. I think the amount of blood a baby has stored depends also on how soon the umbilical cord was cut.

Sooooo true! I cloth diapered my first and LOVED it! Told everyone about it and tried to convert them to use it. Fast forward a little and baby nr 2 arrived. She would not stop fussing unless I changed the cloth to a disposable diaper. I felt like a cloth fan fraud.... turns out her legs were so chubby the cloth diapers I was used to just didn't work for her. You can plan all you want but ultimately baby does make the decisions in a way.

I wasn’t afraid to take my baby home. We tried for a free-birth but I got scared when i hit transition. Being in the hospital was scarier honestly. They thought EVERY LITTLE THING was wrong and they didn’t want me to do it how I wanted. He is Super healthy. Still chugging along today😄 definitely not planning on a hospital birth for the next one lol. Staying right at home so I can just snuggle and hold my munchkins❤️

Having them take a bottle makes such a difference. My baby is 2 months, nurses 99% of the time but he will take a bottle. Same with my older 2 when they were babies. it means I can leave the house without worrying about it. Or when I am overwhelmed / exhausted I can pass the baby off.

I recommend using a slow flow como tomo bottle literally as soon as you can pump a decent amount. I did that with my first (diligently listening to my mom), was lazy with my second. Literally baby only took the bottle when I was not there, at work. That’s miserable. Next time will start right away again. I like the como tomo because it’s easy to wash and you can make sure they are latching naturally.

100% with you in the bottle thing. My kid never took a bottle.... I nursed for 22 months. Loved it but defenitly exhausting. With my next kid we'll deffinitly have him also taking the bottle and not exclusively breast feeding...

@jes5icaP 2 жыл бұрын

Another option besides a bottle that is widely used around the world especially in non-westernized countries - cup feeding. Highly recommend. You can literally use one of those plastic cups that come with cough medicine or a shot glass 😊 Very protective of breastfeeding as it really doesn’t have the chance of baby developing flow preference (sometimes people call it “nipple confusion).

Number one thing I’m doing different with number 2 is having a more independent sleeper. Co-slept with number one and she isn’t an independent sleeper at night. Loved the co-sleeping but not the separate beds/bedrooms for husband and me. Number 1 is 15 months and number 2 is 6 weeks.

Our baby takes a bottle fine, he was worse trying to get to nurse and it took a lot of effort to even get him to do it at all. It is a fine balance between baby being agreeable to the bottle to them favouring it because it’s so much less effort for them. If you have enough of all the pump and bottle pieces and a dishwasher, the dishes are no biggie. We started with 2 dishwasher loads a day and are at 1 load every night now - top rack almost entirely pumping and feeding supplies, bottom is everything else

I had used huckleberry at the beginning of parenting and it was sooo helpful. I just needed an easy way to track feeding and sleeping times and was super nice. It helped a lot with nap changes too and how it would give updates on my baby based on their age and sleeping issues it registered. However, I'm cheap and once the free period was over i found a different app called Baby Tracker that does the same tracking for free, but I do miss the messages that help with problem solving in real time....perhaps the next kido I will be using that one again and invest that small price to do so. Also, love your videos!!

@habibti320 2 жыл бұрын

I would NOT give a bottle in the first month and also try to latch/pump religiously in the first week (possibly before labor) to get my milk supply going. Supplementing in the first week with a bottle led to a nursing strike/bottle preference which lasted from 2 weeks to 4 months old and made my maternity leave extra stressful because I had to care for an infant and also try to pump around the clock! I would try to pump or get donor milk in case I needed to supplement and feed through SNS or cup. I would also try to get a doula or someone to help advocate for me during labor. I didn’t want to push but the on call doctor was really old school and told me “you’re a first time mom, you don’t know what you’re doing” when I said I wanted to be upright for pushing, then made me get on my back.

When I first had my baby and he was too young for bottles (still establishing breastfeeding) I was so convinced it would be so much easier if baby could bottle feed so dad could do some feedings. Now at 3.5 months I realize just how easy and convenient breastfeeding is! No clean up, no lugging supplies around, milk is ready right that second without having to fill the bottle and warm it up, no having to pump for every feeding.......... If I didn't have to go back to work part-time I would 100% exclusively breastfeed.

@devynrowe7492 2 жыл бұрын

Something I wasn’t expecting with the second baby was a poor latch (I breastfed my first until 2) I was so confident with breastfeeding but each baby has a learning curve which also means that mama has a learning curve to learn the new baby. I did move my son into his own bed (floor bed) to make room for baby (he was 2) we put his bed in our room for a bit to help him with the transition and it helped so much.

Also my first had a tongue tie and my second didn’t so the bad latch was just a learning curve (took 2 weeks)

I’m very pro baby taking a bottle so you can go somewhere without baby. But yeah nursing is def easier than having to pump and clean your pump and all of that. Sometimes my mom is like I’ll feed her! And I’m like THAT MAKES MORE WORK FOR ME. And I love huckleberry for tracking growth and percentiles

@malorie8557 2 жыл бұрын

I think the happy medium is, breastfeeding with 1 day bottle feeds. My first doesnt and wont take to a bottle so it's near impossible to do things on my own. She forgot what a bottle is and now refuses (have tried EVERYTHING) so with our second, we will do it once a day (make it part of night time routine with dad) so they never lose the ability and that way, if I DO have anywhere to go, we'll know he/she will take to a bottle. But breastfeeding is the easier option. I stopped pumping months ago and now she is going straight into babyfood.

@sabl6381 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I breastfeed and pump once a day while my husband gives Baby a bottle - it keeps her "in practice" for the occasional babysitter bottle feeding her, and gives me just enough flexibility.

@jajajameena 2 жыл бұрын

I breastfed and started 1 bottle a day around 6 weeks. Dad would give the bottle in the afternoon when I could pump and we pretty much stayed with this schedule until now (7 months). Baby takes bottle and breast well. Just need to be consistent with at least 1 bottle every day or every other day

@bridgetydidgety 2 жыл бұрын

My second is 6 months old. We have done a few things differently. This baby is also just a lot more easygoing, so I'm not sure how much of it is her of what we did. We started putting her down for naps in her bassinet at 2 months so that she was always sleeping in the same place. This was different from our first who napped in a playpen downstairs, but he was so hard to get to nap. Our second baby goes down for naps so easily compared to our first.

My daughter was 6wo when she had the RSV virus and we got into it with the PICU doctor. She recommended Covid & other Vaccines to my 6 week old baby. At that point I wanted to trust her so all I did was ask “Why?” she was recommending that treatment plan and the *entire* conversation tone changed. My gut was saying no but my people-pleaser was saying ok. That single experience started the vax research black hole for me. I prompted to delay until 6 months so I felt like I could make a decision without the emotional pressure and then I delayed until 12 mo because she was breastfeeding. I’ll reevaluate again but you don’t, and shouldn’t, make a huge decision under pressure. Walk out ❤️

I have been wanting say to you, we started with a montessori floor bed and my daughters sleep was so horrible. Could not figure out why!! (She is my first, just turned 1, co slept for the first 8 months, and also have never taken a bottle! ~granola~) When we switched her to a crib, she started sleeping like a charm!! With her, she needed more of a sense of being contained, it made her feel safe. We will probably switch to a floor bed by 2 or 3, but wish we would have started with a crib from the get go!! Thanks for the video friend.

I did purple pushing with my first daughter and had the most severe tearing my OB had ever seen as well as pelvic organ prolapse. With my second daughter, I surrendered to the birthing process, moved freely during labor and laid on my side to push. My uterus pushed that baby out all on its own! She was out in 2-3 pushes and I had minimal tearing. Highly recommend!

I had to push pretty hard despite really trying to let my body just do its thing. I still took it pretty slow. But I did eventually have to actively engage in the process too. I actively pushed for 3.5 hours even though the fetal ejection reflex kicked in about 8 hours before birth, I didnt really have an urge to actively push but it felt fairly good when i did. I was really in no rush though. And no perineal tearing. But it didnt just happen on its own. And I wasn't expecting to really push hard, I prepared for letting go and following my body. I had an unmedicated homebirth.

@michellehanson4957 2 жыл бұрын

I just had a home birth as well, I kept waiting for the fetal ejection reflex and it did not come. I could stick my finger up and feel the tip of her head for hours. The midwife said I could have shaved several hours off my labor if I went ahead and started pushing when I could feel the head (even though I did not feel "pushy").

Yup. And Ive learned you cant over feed a baby when it comes to breast milk. They will let you know when they are full. Same with sleep. To exoect your babe to always sleep a certain amount of hours in a day is unrealistic. Some times they are more sleepy and sometimes they are more active. As long as you know the sleeping cues, you will have a stress free babe IMO.

We got rid of our swing we used with our first two before number three arrived and I quickly regretted not having somewhere safe that was portable to put him down.

I’m pregnant with my 2nd and breastfeeding my 1 year old. My milk has massively decreased and daughter is going crazy on the boob as there’s not enough!! Do you recommend weaning the day feed or night feeds first? We’ve been giving her milk in a bottle….

@heyshayla 2 жыл бұрын

Day feed was easier for us, then she understood I could say no. Just give her extra snuggles and affection and ask if she’s hungry. Bf is about more than the milk. You’ve got this ❤️

Aww glad you found huckleberry! It literally saved my sanity with the nap prediction. I started tracking the day I came home from the hospital,, she's 1 year old now and still tracking! Comes in really handy, not just the nap prediction (don't really need that anymore) but reminds me how long ago she ate/peed/pooed etc. Fantastic app for the busy mum xx

What was that about the longer they nap the less they sleep at night? I'm struggling with sleep cues with a three month old baby

@nishatchicago 2 жыл бұрын

Each baby has different sleep needs. Normal is a range! I've realized if my baby sleeps less at night he takes longer naps during The day and vice versa. Observe your baby and get an idea of their total sleep in a 24hr period and expect naps and night Sleep to occur accordingly. Also the 4 month sleep regression happened for us at 3.25 months! Just FYI. Also he almost never Naps for more than 1 sleep cycle (so about 40 min) which is also normal

I never tracked from day one. Just talking about tracking all that makes me have anxiety. Is that bad!? I did a home birth and they NEVER mentioned tracking

@malorie8557 2 жыл бұрын

From a nontracking mom to another...no, it isn't bad. I find it unnecessary to be perfectly honest. Your babe tends to let you know when he/she is hungry, sleepy and bored. To expect every day to be the same is unrealistic IMO. Babies are just like us. Sometimes they feel the need to get up early, have more naps or stay up late...why challenge it by a strict schedule to only complicate things for yourself? I understand some babies thrive on routine but I don't think people ever say the opposite. If your baby DOESN'T thrive off a routine, then just cut it out entirely and just wait for the cues.

We are extremely excited! My siblings and I were all 13-15 months apart, and I knew I didn’t want THAT close, but 18months- 2 years seems to be what everyone says is the sweet spot for siblings, so over the moon! As for just having a second baby, I’m really excited to walk out of the room knowing what I’m doing this time around instead of worrying at every cough/ spit up/ runny nose/ long nap/ worrying that the baby will never sleep not on top of me!

I thought I would be SO confident when I brought my second baby home but I had all the same irrational fears lol. I knew what I was doing and what was normal/concerning but I had to tell myself that I knew what I was doing. Also bed shared with both of my babies. Idk how people can get their newborns to sleep in a bassinet 🥴

YES! Used Huckleberry since day one and it literally saved my sanity! Especially in the beginning when the pediatrician is asking you 10,000 questions and you're brain dead and don't know off the top off your head how many times your baby peed, pooed, nursed and for how long, and that app had it all listed there for you!

@ashleybeazley 2 жыл бұрын

I couldn't work out how to use them before that 🤣

I think not having a bottle and stopping milk collecting has helped my body regulate milk really quickly. No more engorged boobs after 3 or 4 months I think. I LOVE the idea of (if we are having a second) giving baby a bottle too but wondering how it will be with the boob situation. haha It's quite draining being the boob for all mom.

@Suebearish 2 жыл бұрын

The trend seems to be to pump like crazy these days. Nursing is what makes more milk. No pumping required. Also moms being told have to pump after to fully empty breast. Nursing breasts are never empty!

@malorie8557 2 жыл бұрын

@@Suebearish engorgment is in the first few months. Your body is trying to figure out and regulate how much milk your baby needs. Once it does, your boobs no longer produce too much and often times, women think they AREN'T producing. This is normal.

@@malorie8557yes right. I nursed 5 babies without pumping. Only had engorgement issues with 1st for a couple days when milk first came in. Was just commenting how the trend now is so much pumping.

@coffeeandplan4388 2 жыл бұрын

@@Suebearish i think this “trend” is mostly due to moms needing to go back to work. After my 12 week fmla leave, I won’t be able to ebf. So it’s either keep a pump supply for baby to have while I’m away, or switch to formula. Not all of us are given a choice if want to use breast milk.

@Suebearish 2 жыл бұрын

The trend is not just for working moms. A Lactation consultant friend said she has to reeducate new moms because they are being told by the hospital LCs they have to pump before their milk comes in and after each nursing to build up their milk supply. Even after night feeds
