An Emotional Start To The Year...

We hope you are having a great start to the year! Let us know if you enjoyed the video in the comments 🤍🙌🏻

The best thing you can do is make noise while the babies are sleeping. That’s exactly what we did and our kids could sleep through anything and anywhere. On the other hand my sisters whole house stopped and it had to be silent while her kids slept. As you know getting anything done has to happen when the babies are sleeping. I ran the vacuum in the same room and they slept through it. Y’all are doing great, keep it up!!!

Seeing you cry Ell with the Mum guilt made me tear up 😢, you are both doing an amazing job but that emotion of wanting to protect our babies is overwhelming isn’t it. You have a lovely family, the boys are very lucky to have two parents who clearly adore them the way you do 💙

Made me well up when Ellen started crying about the boys, must be so stressful 😫 you two are doing amazing for your boys :) just remember everyday is a learning day with a new baby 🙂

Omg Ellen crying at the boys being poorly literally has me in tears. Please don’t cry or be upset, I know it’s hard but you tried everything you’d had been advised first 😢 you did what everyone else would ❤ xxxx

El crying when the boys settled for the first time after moving to Aptimel Pepti had me in tears. My son who is 10 weeks old is also on Aptimel Pepti and the relief you feel when you realise they are no longer uncomfortable and in pain is indescribable. I felt all of her emotion in the moment it’s so mentally & physically draining when you baby/babies are like that. ❤ xx

As a tip from a Nicu nurse we use aptamil pepti JR which is this- most babies struggle to take to this and a tip we use is to make its warm, not room temp as otherwise they don’t entertain it. some babies love it hotter than normal on Nicu. Also it does make there stools smell fyi 😂

I feel for you guys! My second son had to go onto soya bean milk but it took nearly 6 months and a hospital stay to finally get there. Hang in there, your boys are precious 💗

Aptamil pepti 1 changed my daughter! Much happier baby :) rash on eyebrows and belly disappeared, no more discomfort, it took 2 weeks for me to see the full effect as that’s how long it takes for the other milk to leave the system x

So glad someone saw what you've struggled with for so long! Here's to healthy, growing, happy babies!!

❤❤❤ You guys are doing great! I totally understand your tears Ell… it’s hard to see your kids in distress. Unfortunately it doesn’t get easier no matter how old they are. We all want to take their discomfort/stress away. Keep up the great parenting… you two make quite a great team. ❤❤❤

I remember the anxiety of being a first time parent well… they are so precious and every little thing is brand new so you don’t know what to expect or think. You are doing a great job! My son was in hospital when he was two weeks old because he had pyloric stenosis and had to have an operation to repair it. It was the scariest time of my life, so I really felt for you when you explained the feeding issues and the scary experience with Ari being unable to breathe. I am so sorry your boys are having a hard time, I hope they are doing better now! It’s lovely to see them grow, thank you for sharing your journey with us all! X

My 8 month old son has milk protein allergy and we didn’t figure it out until he was 4 months old. It is all so hard and you’re both doing so well! Know that you are ❤️

I hope the boys continue to improve, I can only imagine how frightened, upsetting and frustrated you were feeling Ell. I was only saying a couple days ago how miraculous it is when babies are born. Going from the environment of the amniotic sac and fluid to the outside world of learning to breathe air with their little lungs going through a huge transition, virtually instantly. So your absolutely right Ell. I haven't heard of the fourth trimester before but yes, again your absolutely right. Most babies don't have the feeding issue when they're breastfeeding. Fingers crossed that whatever formila you have the boys on now, that it works so you can all get some much needed rest. Love their new clothes.

I'm so glad the boys are doing better 💓 💕 💗

So glad they are better it’s so hard in the beginning I remember them days bless them xx

Good to see you all getting out for walks with the babies. Great for everyone! Thanks for the update!!

You are doing so well sending everyone love and hugs xxxx

Aww I'm so glad that the boys are improving, you guys are doing the best job so don't ever feel bad you're great parents.

Thank you for your candour, I hope the boys are sleeping better and are not in pain going forward. You are all doing the hard yards now, and you are doing a great job. You have the support of all of your followers.
