A few days in my life as a new mum 🤍

Still figuring out this whole motherhood + content creator thing, and this vlog is definitely a little chaotic, but it's real life right now. Between feeding schedules, sleepless nights, and soaking up every moment with baby girl, this is what our days have looked like lately.

What's something nobody warned you about when it comes to newborn life?

When I first became a mother, the most unexpected challenge wasn’t just the sleepless nights or the constant feeding schedules—it was learning to embrace the unpredictability of each day while staying present in the moment. For many new moms, the pressure to 'do it all' can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to share this journey online. One thing that caught me off guard was how much emotional energy newborn care requires beyond the physical tasks. It’s not just about feeding and changing diapers—it’s about tuning in to your baby’s cues, developing that unique bond, and also managing your own well-being. I found that allowing myself the grace to be imperfect helped ease the pressure. Filming a vlog during these early days provided a therapeutic outlet but also introduced its own set of challenges. Moments that felt chaotic in real life sometimes appeared beautifully candid on camera, reminding me that authenticity resonates more than perfection. If you’re a new parent wondering how to document your journey, my advice is to capture the raw, unfiltered experiences—those are the stories that will truly connect with others. Also, leveraging short clips and mini vlogs shared on platforms like YouTube or social media can be a manageable way to keep your audience engaged without overwhelming yourself. Linking to a full vlog in your bio, like I did, makes it easy for viewers to explore more when they have time. Ultimately, every day is a learning experience filled with both challenges and incredible moments of growth. Sharing this journey openly encourages other new moms and content creators to find balance, embrace the ups and downs, and celebrate the beautiful chaos of newborn life.
