my veryyyy realistic morning routine with a newborn + a toddler...

You probably won’t see this but my daughter used those same type of pacifiers when she a month old and all the sudden got so fussy and wouldn’t sleep! After some digging and talking to her pediatrician, we stopped using that brand and everything g got better immediately! The pediatrician came to the conclusion that the since the nipple is so bulbous and big she was sucking on it weird and it was forcing air into her tummy that she wasn’t getting out and it made her so fussy! Maybe for a week try a different brand like the nuk orthopedic or mam ones! They changed our lives!

You being so honest about how you are is EXTREMELY refreshing. No one shares the hard parts of postpartum.

I think it‘s so important to tell your audience, when you struggle. One it‘s good for you if you can speak honest about your problems. But second, and even more important, I feel like you help so many other parents out there. It normalises struggling at least a little bit and I’m sure some of your viewers are thinking, thank god, I’m not alone and I’m not the only one struggling. Still, I hope you are able to soon find a good routine for all four of you :)

Cove talking is the cutest thing ever

Don’t worry Aspyn! It’s only temporary! Things will settle down and get better and better the older she gets! Hang in there!!!

hey! if she doesn’t like being put down, you could try a wrap! or a carrier for you to wear then you can have both arms free to do things!

Love how you show how realistic motherhood is!

okay there was something so calming and natural about this vlog

Aspyn knowing every word cove says basically is so cute I love her little voice and I can just tell she knows so much her little voice is so cute I can’t haha

I work in the infant room at a childcare center and I’ve learned that a schedule as key. Well, as much or a schedule as you can have with infants. It’s a world of a difference when we don’t go by ours!

My newborn is a month old and I just appreciate your honesty so much recently. This is magical but it is soo hard

i used to nanny for 2 girls similar to cove and lolas age and i’m not even the mom and i was exhausted!! you’re doing great credit to all the mamas out there it’s definitely not easy

wow Lola is Aspyn’s twin and of course cove is Parker’s twin ♥️

the face aspyn made when cove was sticking her hand in the apple juice was so funny 🤣 love you guys!

Don't know if this is helpful, but my 6 month old is basically worn most of his life because he likes to be involved and I have a toddler so it's hard to get anything done. It's been a life saver. The baby k'tan is the one I used and it worked great!

My girls are also close to 26 months apart and I FEEEEL this. It’s so hard when the second baby is so different from the first and you try to remember that babies are different but you’re also constantly comparing to the older (bc that’s all you know) even though you know you shouldn’t. And it seems like it really shouldn’t be that hard… but it IS!! I feel you, Aspyn. You’re doing great! My little one is almost 8 months old now and it does get easier. 💗💗

Don’t worry if you haven’t “figured” everything out, I think it would be impossible for anyone to do that. Where you are, figuring it out as it comes, is all you need and you are doing amazing. Your an amazing mom and wife and you should be so proud of yourself. Letting Cove watch a few episodes of tv is totally worth you having a few minutes to yourself!

My youngest was fussy and I found the more I wore her in a baby carrier the happier she was. It was the only way she would sleep during the day. Maybe try that for when you cook etc? Love your content!

You're doing so good. And totally get your freaking tired. It's bound to take a toll on you. Especially with a toddler. I can remember asking myself. How the heck am I functioning through the days????!?!!!!!! Oh my goodness. It'll get better I promise.
