Every day I get so many emails and comments asking why you can’t locate the music I use or find it using Shazam. I purchase music licenses for almost all the music you hear in my videos. I buy them them from various royalty-free production music sites and most of the time they don’t list the performer because it’s music made only for film productions with an audio watermark throughout the entire track, unless you purchase the single-use license for $50-100 per track. I use a lot of opera so often I’ll reference the opera but I won’t be able to direct you to a recording of that specific performance that you could stream or buy on iTunes or Spotify. Hope that clears things up and thank you for appreciating quality music.

250g brown sugar

I hope his pain decreases soon. Doctors told me that my son was 'just colicky' however he cried for months. 4 weeks(2w for mom, 2 w for babe) after I went off gluten, dairy, soy and yeast, he was better. Sending all of you love
Kylie, one success a friend had with her newborn's gas, reflux, crying episodes gastric distress and spitting up. Her doctor told her to stop all dairy. ALL DAIRY. MILK, EGGS, YOGURT…CHEESE. ONCE SHE DID THAT , her baby's symptoms and gas resolved itself.
Try it! You will have to drink soy, but try it! Nothing to lose. It worked for her baby. Wishing you the best

Look into a baby carrier like an urgo. It's a life saver.
❤️take good care of you for your lovely family and take it easy happy birthday to you 3 much love ❤️❤️❤️
You can do everything right and these things will still happen, thanks for sharing your story, hope baby gets sorted out soon! He will:)🤍
Siete stupendi💙
Bella God loves you.💜✝️
Have you checked for tongue tie? It can cause excess air to enter during nursing and lead to colicky babes, worth ruling out before starting the elimination diets. You still have your lovely thick hair too! No postpartum fallout like some of us lol, take care <3 ^_^
Enjoy dressing your little uomo! It’s so much fun. You will get at least 10 years of choosing his outfits. Time will heal the reflux/colic – my son fed often like yours to sooth his tummy. I felt like a milk machine most of the time. Take care.
My baby cried for weeks and when I gave up dairy, he stopped crying the next day! So may want to try that if you nurse.
Glad everything is moving along at an even keel. Here's a topic for consideration; teaching infants sign language.
in ayurveda 40 days after birth, mom doesn't put her feet on floor,; baby, in very quite place, baby stays insdie, sunshine very good for baby and fresh air: open windows. he could cry from feeling u are not feeling well? rest alot….let everyone wait on you and eat really nourishing food.. ayurveda has recipes for building up the mom and makes the mom milk better.
I love how you embrace life and know that those little moments are actually the most profound! Sending blessings to you, your husband and son.
💙💓💙
Love the Madonna and Child picture, the whole environment is so beautifully modern yet traditionally classic…the brief glimpse of the baby was such a delightful treat..so adorable. Your parents are amazing. God bless You, Guido and baby Gianfranco…and all your family.
Good for you, Kylie, taking it easy! The only time I ever got stressed when I had babies was when I let things outside of our family and home creep into my sphere of influence. Keeping us all fed, warm, and well rested was the best decision for everyone involved.🥰
You’re glowing mommy so happy to see this vlog ❤❤❤
My daughter cried every evening for around two and a half hours. She stopped immediately when she was able to hold her head up and roll over onto her tummy by herself. Enjoy EVERY second. It goes by way too fast!
Such a lovely and calming video as always, thank you for taking the time to film and edit it for us ☺️ I'm so relieved to hear you're doing better and slowly recovering from everything you and Giancarlo went through, I wish you and your lovely family the best 🤍
I tried your easy fudge cookie recipe and did my best guessing the measurements! It came out as more of a cake because I didn’t space it out well enough I suppose. I’m new to baking and this was fun to try even if I don’t think I did it right 😂
Aren't you bored there?
This exact thing happened to my sister and her milk, for some reason wasn't nutritious enough and her baby was literally crying for hours for food and was starving. Maybe you will need to supplement your milk. My sister felt so horrible about that and had no idea until she had her milk tested. Just a thought. I hope that's not the reason but it could be so it's worth checking into. All the best 💖🙏🏼
M_ son had reflux problems. Put him on your lap tummy down and bounce your legs. It will help with his crying and gas.
My son was extremely colicky. I live in the US now but he was born in Italy where I lived and worked at the time.
I ended up cutting out onions, garlic and any greens that could cause gas. (Like broccoli, cabbage, etc.) Also no citrus fruit no carbonated drinks. My diet was pretty bland for a while but it made a difference.
Only be kerful wat you eating some vegetable are beens is not good for you and the baby
Ciccette! ,🥰
Thank you Kylie for empowering other women to not be shameful of breast-feeding in public. I always find it so beautiful when a woman feels empowered by her God given blessing to provide nutrients to the babes. We love you and no pressure regarding when you get your videos out. We will watch them whenever you post :).
I have 6 month old boy/ girl twins, (first babies) The boy, had reflux for the first 3 months solid, it was horrific. From about a week after birth, he routinely would scream in heightened distress for 2-3hrs following a feed , then he would enjoy another feed only to start again.
I only knew it wasnt normal because our little girl would feed, relax,snuggle then sleep and repeat.
The difference was stark to say the very least.
The guilt I felt at not being able to aleviate his pain was immense.
Really so difficult!, none of the old wives tales worked, no natural remedies (and i tried all), keeping him upright didn't work and he didnt ' just grow out 'if it as people tell you, finally a doctor told me to try Baby Gavison Sachets.
Within two feeds using the baby gaviscon sachet just before the feed, after 3 challenging months, i had a totally different baby in my arms, smiling, happy and relaxed after feed.
I could not believe it.
It was night and day to my initial experience of mothering him. That crying for prolonged periods is horrific for them but so hard for a mam as well to feel so helpless.
I used this up until 5months, at which time i successfully weened him off them (having tried every 2 weeks to phase out gaviscon but unsuccessful until the 5month mark) at which time his digestive system seemed to have developed enough to process feed without discomfort.
I only wish i had been advised of it sooner. BABY GAVISON SACHETS! Our GP advised us, but they dont require prescription here in Ireland. Hope this helps, love your videos x
Where is that beautiful bag from? 🥺 I love it , I wonder if they have any available online
Hi Kylie, I wish we knew before our son, now 17 months, was born that new borns have so much to process come the evening, that they cry as a way of processing everything new that’s stimulated them during the day. It’s completely normal, seldom health related such as tummy ache. All you can do is be there for him and comfort him. It will get worse before it gets better. You’ll do it!
I had the same issue with my youngest son. He had terrible colic. I tried everything. Finally I found Mylicon Infant Drops. They were a Godsend!!! They still make them. My son is now 42 years old which is proof that this product is safe & very inexpensive. I am going to pray that u see this message!!! Blessings to u all Dear One!!! I pray this helps u & brings peace to your precious baby!!!
So lovely to see you settling in the motherhood and getting on with your renovations. This is going to be such a beautiful Christmas season for you all.💛💚
It’s so hard when our babies have colic and cry so much, for the mother, especially! I hope that improves for you soon! My first 2 babies were like that and cutting out dairy, like you said, did help them. And also carrying them around in a baby carrier helped a lot. But at the end – it was challenging and hard, but it did pass quickly. The newborn phase is so challenging and beautiful at the same time and I know you’ll navigate it with grace as you always do! I’ll definitely we have to try these cookies!
Beautiful Kylie, please know that the best thing for your baby while adjusting to life here on earth is to feel your heart and to be in your arms breast-feeding.
and from more of an esoteric perspective colic in a baby can be looked at as emotions from a more of a challenging birth being processed by the baby. meaning the tender repair work is done by you honoring your needs and your feelings getting support so you can relax and feel loved and held as much as possible and so the baby can intern feel that chemical coursing through you and transfer to them.
If it works for all of you cosleeping is also a really beautiful regulating practice. and children’s brains are wired for human connection so they actually learn faster the more they encounter physical touch,closeness and care.
Babies get wind from things we eat , can be cocoa , dairy, spicy food , carbonated drinks etc .
Take care ❤️
Lovely video 🌻
Since you’ve had your little one, you’ve been absolutely glowing, not to say that you did not look at peace and fulfilled previously, just more so now – regardless of your lack of sleep.
So happy for you that everything is ok now, and your both home safe, happy and tranquil. Isn't it the utmost surreal feeling of being able to feed, love and connect with your baby by nursing? Reminding me of the best days and nights of my life, even now how I felt my whole world changed and my my thinking of it in the first moment I nursed my son. I so love your nursery, even though it will seem after a while the whole home becomes a nursery. The colic would be from two reasons, whatever the mom has, the baby has, so no cow milk. This helped me as well, I had the same issue. Also whatever the hospital gave you would be going into your son's system, which may take time to get out of both of your systems. I refused anything extra, different situation though, I dropped my boiling tea on myself and was told if they gave me any medication I should stop breastfeeding as all medications goes to your baby. I just suffered through it even though I was in great pain of 3rd degree burns. Ahh what we do for our children but I wouldn't do it any other way. Great mother's make great men. 🙂
I used fennel drink for babies for colic with my first baby and it seemed to help.
You as a mom and the baby are so so lovely. Congradulation.
You’ve done a wonderful job. Video quality is great !
