Listened to y'all my entire pregnancy.. Can't believe I am back here now that my son is one year old.. Thank you ❤

I’ve been bingeing your vids for the past 7 months…my wife is due in 2 months, you’ve been a huge help. Thank you!!

@granthughes827

You guys are a lifesaver. My baby would never nap throughout the day at the ripe age of 4 months old. He stopped napping. He was starting to develop bags under his eyes, Then, i followed your advice and he fell asleep in 8 minutes. I feel hope again!!

@heather9130

Just had our first baby yesterday after trying for 10 years. Nothing has got us more prepared as we can be more than this channel. Every night we would lay down and watch a vid you guys did and it helped keep us sane as we waited for the little guy to get here. You guys are the best!

You’re advice gives so much comfort and help us to feel not alone as new parents.
