Mom of two babies under 2

Here's an explanation of things I've found most helpful as a young mom - it's a bit rambly, sorry. My babies are 18 months apart. Includes my Top 5 list of most useful baby items, hope you find it helpful! :)

Where's Lila???

[iamsel]

@imalale I will try and record a video with Lila soon! :)

Thank you for the tips! Just wanted to know about your experience with 3 things: after Vera, how did you find nursing in comparison to your first time round? Also, how did your experience with "baby blues" differ, if it did? And finally, was weight loss quicker?

@Amenakin I'm so sorry I thought I had already replied to your comment but it didn't post for some reason...grr! Great questions, thanks! I found it pretty easy to nurse Vera but started supplementing with formula at 7 weeks because I was going back to work. I actually carried on nursing for 3 months though! Didn't really experience baby blues but I definitely get moments when I am a little overwhelmed. Also weight loss was much less, probably because I didn't nurse as long. Hope that helps!

So glad to see you backon here. I LOVE your videos. I'm also a Brit living abroad, so your perspective really struck a cord. I watched all your pregnancy videos with Lila (sorry if I didn't spell it correctly). I had my first baby in March this year. Not sure when we'll have #2, but definitely looking forward to not stressing about everything so much. Congratulations again xoxox

@leahkf1 aww thanks - I'm not that organized and some days are harder than others so I lose patience - but thanks for the sweet comment!

@kcsck My oldest turned 2 in November and my youngest is 6 months :)

How old are both the girls now?

[TheGraceDiaries]

Great advice, we were pregnant at the same time for the first and second and we both had 2 girls. Lacey and Felicity are 19 months apart and I feel we have gone through a similar experience. Great video.
