Things I Wish I Knew Before Having A Baby

the biggest thing I learned after having my baby is that every baby is so different and not to place expectations on how your baby should be. ❤️

I love that you are still able to make mom content without overexposing your daughter to the internet, I think you have a really great balance! My baby is almost 6 months old, a lot of these things I have learned and dealt with as well. I also watched your pregnancy videos at the same time I was going through it and now I watch the videos you post now with Makaiah postpartum. It definitely has made me feel less alone in my mom journey, considering I don’t have any mom friends to look up too. So I really appreciate it 💛

hi jess! idk if anyone else has commented this yet, but all moms’ body odor changes to be a bit stronger after birth for awhile and while you’re breastfeeding to help the baby find you / their food easier! you’re not crazy or making it up, don’t worry! :) it’s just your body trying to do everything it can for your precious baby! 💛

I can’t believe she’s already 8 months, God bless her and her wonderful parents🤍

I know for sure I'll come to these videos when I have kids of my own. Thank you for sharing your journey with us

I love how you both are doing your best to keep her away from the spotlight. It says a lot about you and it is very refreshing to see!

This is such an amazing, unassuming video.💕 I love how you share your joy in motherhood. Nothing has challenged me as much as being a mom, but nothing has made me happier than getting to raise our daughter (plus another one on the way❤) with my husband. Thank you for being realistic in your approach.

I honestly love all of your content, you’re like the big sister that I never got. By you sharing your life, getting married, faith life, and now motherhood, you make it a lot less scary for those of us trying to figure out life together with you ❤️

These videos of Mom Jess are so heart warming ❤️‍🩹

genuinely admire how open jess is with everything. it's so helpful

So grateful for your plug about how amazing motherhood and that others are so quick to talk down on it. We’re pregnant, unexpectedly, and honestly really stressed about it. This is the first video I’ve seen that eased stress but was also informative and honest. ❤

I'm only 24 now and i'll probably wait with having a baby for some more years 😄 but i love content like that and i love that you're just so honest Jess. It feels like a big sister is talking to me 😊 i'm sure, you're such a great mom! 🫶🏻🥰

Silent follower here! Loved this video - especially the last 3 tips. You are wise for your age and I appreciate your perspective! I agreed with all these tips and will totally share this video with friends of mine when they are pregnant with their first ❤️ Thank you for filling YouTube with such positivity and authenticity

Jess, I appreciate your posts lately. Your transparency, your advice. Honestly, I appreciate it very much.

I love this video and how real/honest it is and accurate!!! It is OK for moms to say that the beginning stages of motherhood are hard but that doesn’t make them not beautiful, special, and the best days! Beautiful and tough can co-exist!

I love how you are telling your experience being a new mom. Not making this about Makaia but about you and sharing your experience. Being open about personal stuff but not making it awkward. All these things are so important for new moms, like it can be so uncomfortable to have gas for a baby and it’s totally normal and im sad to hear that no one told you how to deal with it, how to solve it.. thank you for being so open about your experience 💛

I think it’s amazing how you are using what you’ve learned being a new mother to help other moms, so encouraging to see God use your story in such a way ❤ praying for the conte family

Yay I missed your weekly vlogs! You’re such an amazing mum. Makaiah is so lucky to have you 👏🏽❤️

Ugh so relatable. So hard yet so rewarding. My baby girl is 4 months old and I’m just holding onto the light at the end of the tunnel for when the sleep regression is over

I loved watching this video. Even though I'm only 19, I love hearing you talk about motherhood and it genuinely makes me excited. I love how you're glowing, and so honest and open about anything. Wish you all the best. <3
