She’s very lucky to have the support system she does !

Having a baby was nothing like she thought but also sounds like she had a tough start with baby

and hats off to her for sticking with breastfeeding through that !!

I loved watching her new vlog. So real and raw the first few weeks. No one talks about breastfeeding depression either, it’s good she carried on but no mum should feel the pressure to.

I’m worried about her. I know this was filmed weeks ago but, I hope she’s got friends near her

I think she’ll be okay, but it’s a big adjustment that she wasn’t quite expecting

she cut out things in her diet and it seemed to help with his issues a bit? her parents sounded like they were coming over quite a bit so assuming they live close? I think she’ll be fine !

though is it odd that she hadn’t really done any of the nappies ?

Nah, it’s totally normal. Almost every couple I know that has kids, the dad did at least 90% of the nappies in the first few weeks/months, especially if mum was breastfeeding. It’s a fair division of work if the dad can’t do any feeding, plus gives him time to bond.

That’s a fair point !

I loved Jazzy's new vlog. You can tell Jazz and Nick make a great team. Their baby is possibly the cutest newborn ever. The vlog almost makes me want to have another baby :LOL:

Having a colicky/refluxy baby really is a whole different world, add that with birth trauma and the regular pp emotions and there’s no wonder she was struggling. My first had colic and reflux and it’s only since having my second that I fully appreciate how traumatic it was at the time to have a baby that screams and cries in pain for literally hours at a time.

You could hear he was in pain....As a parent, especially a new one, you feel helpless :cry:
 
I think her vlog was really good at showing the reality of a newborn: so many people just show the highlights (naturally) when for most people it’s 90% hard time and 10% magical. I had a baby in January so her vlog was so relatable to our experience in that first month

Not to be that person but the picture of him asleep on his stomach? I thought that was dangerous before a year?

if she was in the room the whole time and not asleep herself then I think it’s okay?

Im not sure to be honest but also not thought it’s safest for them to be on their back

Yeah like have you ever had reflux and tried laying flat on your back? It’s bloody horrible and it will be coming up your oesophagus pretty quickly. Good on Jas for sharing such an honest selection of clips. Makes me realise what hell I must have put my parents through as I was a colicky / refluxy baby apparently 😆

I’m glad they have such good support from her parents. When she was getting upset about how she’s always wanted a baby and it’s not going well I felt for her - and I don’t even want / like kids 🤣

My late mum would say 'they're only small children for a short time'...my two are 21 and 24 and I miss them being small

I think we've all been in a situation we've longed for and the reality is not how we thought it would be. I felt for her too.

She’s brave to vlog all those bad parts for sure 🥲

Really makes me glad I don’t record my life and can watch it back, weeks 6-12 with my baby were absolutely awful because of silent reflux. He’s 15 weeks now and I’m glad we’re finally get out of that hell 🤞(until the next sleep regression or whatever 🤣)

Is it just me that doesn’t see anything overly worrying or like pnd there? We’re also only seeing such a small part of her life so I don’t think anyone could know how she is really feeling anyway. Hopefully she reached out for help if she needed it though!

I thought this too in regards to the pnd. I think regardless of the situation, especially with a refluxy/colicy baby, is going to be stressful/upsetting/tiring but didn't think pnd
