NIGHT TIME ROUTINE WITH A NEWBORN | 2 WEEKS OLD + EXCLUSIVELY BREASTFEEDING | Tara Henderson

hi guys welcome to my channel so for
today's video I thought it would be fun
and interesting for you guys to see what
an entire night with a newborn baby
looks like so I am exclusively
breastfeeding our two week old little
boy Grayson I had him two and a half
weeks ago and right now he's currently
waking up every two to three hours to
feed so when I show you guys and what
our nights typically look like so I just
finished feeding him it's about 7:45
right now and I just put him down for
his first like night stretch so I
anticipate him to wake up around 11
o'clock
give or take I don't know we'll see when
he ends up waking up but I hope you all
enjoyed today's video be sure to give it
a thumbs up if you enjoy these types of
vlogs and I'll try to film more of them
I know we need to film and updated
morning and nighttime routine now that
Grayson is here that is off my agenda so
I'll be sure to film that for you guys
soon
[Music]
so after I'm done nursing and burping
him I'll swaddle him up in his bassinet
and it's usually hit or miss with him
passing out right away or me needing to
replace his binky a few times until he
falls asleep the best thing that he's
sleeping in is this new by the happiest
baby and it's by far my number one
must-have baby item it is pricey but
they do have the option to rent it which
is such an amazing idea
we're renting ours for three months and
I'm so glad we decided to it saved me in
my sleep this time around we're using
the hatch white noise and nightlight for
him and I love it so much you can change
the color to whatever you want it to and
it has a bunch of different noises to
choose from and you can also control
everything from the app on your phone to
which is super convenient
[Music]
10:44 is when grayson woke up for a
second nursing session of the night
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
after I get them up out of the bassinet
I'll take him over to the changing pad
on our dresser and change him into a
fresh diaper
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
Grayson is a super-efficient nurser and
usually will drain my milk within 10
minutes or so around a week and a half
after you was born is when he was able
to nurse from both breasts but in the
meantime when he's feeding from one side
I'll use the Hakka to catch my letdown
so it doesn't go to waste and a breast
pad this is another must-have and
definitely recommend it if you plan on
breastfeeding
[Music]
in between nursing and burping I always
sneak in the countless kisses and
cuddles from him I could honestly do
this all day there's nothing better than
newborn breath and staring into his eyes
[Music]
occasionally he will need another diaper
change before I lay him back down to
sleep and this was one of those times
[Music]
[Music]
Grayson was the most active in my belly
at around 11 o'clock at night so this is
usually the hardest time for me to try
to get him back down to sleep I usually
have to replace his binky countless
times until he falls back asleep
[Music]
and then I can finally sleep until I'm
woken up again at 3 in the morning
[Music]
I'll do the same thing as before except
this time I'm a lot more exhausted and
usually end up nursing with my eyes
closed
[Music]
I also usually end up having to use the
restroom to change my pad at least once
in the middle of the night because I am
still bleeding give me oh oh gosh I want
you nursing on top of the insane
postpartum night sweats causes me to
become extremely thirsty so I'm coming
into the kitchen to fill up my cup of
water and I'm adding my after ease drops
to help with the post labor contractions
[Music]
you and me yeah that's all I need and
I'll be all right
right
I swear that I'll stay here with you
[Music]
cause I wanna stay with you
[Music]
Oh
if you are get
[Music]
as each other
[Music]
it's fine
then I'm back to sleep again before
getting woken up at 6 a.m. for Grayson's
4th feet
[Music]
tell me what what you wanna do I'll do
anything as long as I can be here with
you
everything sorry
[Music]
9:00 a.m. is when he woke up after I put
him down at 6:00 so he's been pretty
consistent at waking every three hours
to nurse at night
[Music]
if you are
[Music]
and after I finished changing him into a
fresh diaper I'll nurse them again and
then I'll get up for the day but usually
won't end up changing out of my PJs or
looking any better than I do right now
but these sleepless nights covered in
sweat and milk are all worth it for this
cute guy
[Music]
give me all your love
[Music]
