Been watching your channel since we found out we were pregnant with our first last August. Finally had our baby 3 days ago, what an angel!! I am so grateful for all the helpful videos I’ve watched, I feel much more prepared than I thought possible.

Been a fan of this channel for years now! Helped me through my past two pregnancies now coming on my third ❤

@JustListItfl

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!!

@The_Joyful_Homemaker

Thank yall so much !! You two have been an amazing help to me and my 6 week old. God bless you and your family! :)

I have a baby boy due in April and your videos have been so helpful in navigating my first pregnancy! Your videos along with advice from others have contributed tremendously to feeling confident my first go around!

@RockyMountainGardener

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!

@LOGO_yo

Your channel is such a beautiful combination of medical expertise and personal experience. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort in creating this amazing content!

I’ve been following you guys for my entire pregnancy, my baby girl is three days old today and your videos have been soooo helpful during this wonderful but scary experience. Thanks!

@emiarias2454

Thank you so much for confirmation that sleep training/learning is okay 💕i was so scared to traumatize my baby but this makes sense
