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.

Incredible video! I was on pins and needles all the time. So happy for a good birth and so sorry for the baby’s reflux. You are doing a wonderful job and thanks for sharing your beautiful birth story 💕
Kylie have you looked into infant chiropractic treatment for the reflux/colic? There are some impressive results. Usually the adjustment is very minor and the results instantaneous. Would recommend you do a bit of research if you can.
Kylie, I am genuinely happy that you were surrounded with a good people this time. Congratulations to you and Guido with Raffaello. Sending all positive thoughts your way. Hope you will gane an energy back! Could you share where you found an article about the pose you were giving birth? ❤❤❤❤❤
Marshmallow Rose Tea for acid reflux: 3 parts marshmallow root, 2 parts rose seed, 1 part cinnamon chip, water honey. Fill jar 1/3 full of hot water, let sit overnight, add honey.
Such a journey of highs and lows you are experiencing? Remember Jesus and our Holy Father are with you and when it becomes too much for you alone, you can close your eyes and summen help from above! Instantly you will feel better and full of peace and love and calmer as God takes control and ministers to you and your baby?
Welcome to the world little one. Amazing story Kylie. I cannot imagine how hard reflux must be. I’m utterly grateful that my son Rocco didn’t struggle with that. I wish you and your family well. With love x
Children are rarely likely to show jealousy when the older children take care of the younger siblings. And the less you focus on it and try to avoid jealousy at all costs, the more you unintentionally direct the children toward it. Simply act on instinct, occasionally tell the children that they are great siblings because they think of their siblings, and that siblings love each other. And if they also see this modeled by you, with you loving your own siblings, everything will be fine.
Ok Kylie, I’m so sorry about the reflux! Our son had reflux where he was throwing up after every meal until around 1.5 years and it was awful! He was always crying/in pain. We got a Pepcid prescription which helped him a bit when he was smaller, not sure if you’d be able/willing to ask your pediatrician about that. I also mixed in a ‘sensitive’ formula between breast milk feedings which helped a little with sleep. I can understand if these approaches might not be a good fit for you, but I just wanted to share in case they might be of help. Wishing you and your little one only the best and hoping things improve over the next few weeks and months ❤️❤️❤️!!
So happy you had a great birth but sorry your son is going through reflux. Don't worry about the videos – we will support you. Maybe just film taking the boys for walks in the country with pretty music in the background. Make things easy for yourself. ❤
Congrats! Raffaello is a beautiful name!!! 😍
❤😌❤
Congratulations on a darling little boy.. I’m unsure why you didn’t just go home where you would have been comfortable and have your mum dad sister and husband to care for you🙏 .. next time 🤣💕
The hospital doesn’t have a nursery? Or a bed for your baby to less in? So you could get some sleep? In Most hospitals in USA has wonderful private rooms and husband/partner can stay around the clock with the mother. Bless your heart!
Congratulations Kylie! Of all the flack the U.S. gets for many things (some well deserved 😂), they get the stay at the hospital right! Private rooms & bathrooms, support person with you at all times, nursery for the baby if needed/desired, lovely L&D nurses that are happy to help (if you get a bad nurse, you just report them and can have them removed from your care).
Glad things went better for you this time! Praying you get some sleep ❤️🙏🏼
Patriarchy sets up the norm of the wrong position for delivery(yes, we need gravity as you did deliver in the correct position) so that women are in pain, women are subjected to that, my mum had two cesarians and a forceps birth, it's cruel how patriarchy know that the trauma of childbirth carries throughout life affecting the relationships with their children, women are tortured!!
What is Guido doing with such a crappy car with a pregnant wife who needs to get to a hospital 2,5 hours away.☹️ Practically the only thing he needed to get right!! 😂 Congratulations to you both!
Thank you for sharing your story & your resilience is inspiring in so many ways! I pray as other commenters have mentioned, that you can possibly persuade your leadership in Italy to make the reforms necessary to improve the birthing experience to be healthier and happier for all. I learned of the diminishing birth rates in Italy & perhaps this is one contributing factor in that statistic? God bless you and your growing family ! 🙏🏼🤍
Welcome to Rafaello 💙 Brava Kylie, bravo Guido 👏👏 Gianfranco is a big brother now and I’m sure hoping to help too💙🎉🎊🥰
Wish you all the best! You are so strong – I really admire how you handle this enormously strenuous time. You‘ll do it and it‘ll get better!❤
I've been a longtime subscriber but don't usually post.
I hung on your every word here.Thank you for taking the time to tell your story.
I was especially touched by Giancarlo s advice to his Dad to go and help his Mama.That is truly a sign of empathy at such a young age.Take care.❤

My mom put me in the baby swing alot and I would usually go right to sleep. She could get things done while I was sleeping. So, that may be something you could purchase before your parents leave. Just a thought. Have a wonderful time with your family and Luv n hugs 💕😇 💕 Many blessings to you!
Russia. It's allowed to have doula, partner, family,, lawyers, etc., but not in every goverment clinic. Commercials are much better in this case.
Thank you for sharing. I was a single mom with a constipated and wakeful baby so I know a bit of what you are experiencing. May all things ease as Raffaello grows and blessings on all of you, especially wonderful big brother Gianfranco.
Congratulations to you all!!! Beautiful story, thanks for sharing!! Glad you have the support of a loving family!!
Congratulations Kylie. Thank you for taking the time to produce this lovely video considering your now, extra busy life with baby Raffaello. although it will be a challenge these early months, you are strong and will pull through.
You asked about our experience with our births….I was so lucky with both my boys as the Maternity Hospital staff would take our babies to the nursery after supper, so we could sleep then bring them to us when they needed feeding .
Very best wishes to your beautiful family.
In the us, I had my now 9 year old being held up with legs spread by custom beds.
