Gunner Forsyth is one month old, and his parents are adjusting to life with three children. Joy Forsyth recently hopped on YouTube to answer questions about Gunner's birth and how her postpartum life is going. She tells viewers her preference of hospital birth versus home birth, which delivery has been the most difficult to recover from, whether she is breastfeeding or formula feeding, and more.

Joy is so cute to watch. She answered all the questions with honesty and talked to us like a friend. Really appreciate her realness.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone want to know this stuff?
ReplyDeleteBecause it's good to know. There are a lot of women that don't know what happens during and after birth. Pregnancy books these days are still not detailed as what you can find on apps. But there are some things that can happen that apps don't provide either.
Delete6:12 true. I didn't know about the contractions you can have afterwards and how pregnancy can alter the body chemistry. I have allergies I didn't use to have. And toward the end of my pregnancy, I became allergic to my own saliva until I had my baby. My mouth was broke out in lesions and cranked sores. Pregnancy does some crazy stuff.
DeleteYou can get a baby scale for under $20 and then you don't have to hang your baby from the ceiling on a meat hook.
ReplyDeleteBut why waste oney on that when you already have a meat hook? lol
DeleteSome people still use this. You really reaching again today lol.
DeleteThe rate Joy is having kids, she'd be smart to go find a baby scale. You can buy them used and save the difference! They're useful for all sorts of things, not just weighing babies. Cooking, packing, sending packages, weighing pets..... That baby didn't look too happy or comfortable in that sling thing.
Delete@anonymous 1:14 Joy and Austin have been married close to six years....that's respectful spacing.
DeleteI'll pass, thanks. I feel some subjects should be kept private and not put on social media, and this is one of them.
ReplyDeleteThat's your opinion.
DeleteA few child safety concerns in that video, Joy.
ReplyDeleteI am a licensed pediatrician and I found nothing wrong.
DeleteStop worrying. This is a Duggar baby so nothing bad will happen.
DeleteI'm a licensed mom and I've always found safety problems with things the Duggars have done with their babies and toddlers.
DeleteIt's their business
DeleteThere was nothing wrong. Omg.
DeleteInteresting that we now have a licensed pediatrician on this blog! Better than an unlicensed one I guess.
DeleteI love watching Joy and an excited to see what Good had in store for her future.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Joy! Ihope you have many more and beat your parents’ record. That would be so cool! And make your dad happy…

DeleteI just love watching Joy. Thanks for keeping everyone updated on your life. God bless 🙏.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Joy’s video. I have really appreciated watching Joy’s growth as a woman, wife and mother. She looks far more relaxed with this baby than with the birth of Gideon. Experience is such a wonderful blessing. Thanks for the link Ellie.
ReplyDeleteToo bad no one asked, "Why did you give your child such an awful, violent name?"
ReplyDeleteThe name Gunner has been around before Guns existed. It's not what that means. I never heard anyone complain the name until a Duggar named their child Gunner.
DeleteOh people have. It's a Scandinavian name and get over it.. smh..
DeleteUm.. I hope you know 4:36 that people controls guns, right?? I know people who saved their families using their 2nd Amendment Right. You must not be a US citizen?
DeleteI like the name!
Delete@6:31. I am 4:36 and I am a proud U.S. citizen. I vehemently disagree with the 2nd Amendment for the most part and have used my 1st Amendment rights on more than one occasion to protest guns. I do this because I am tired of watching fellow Americans die for no reason. Additionally, I used to be a teacher so guns are an extremely sensitive topic for me. Also @ 6:08, the Scandinavian name is spelled Gunnar and is pronounced more like Goo-nar.
DeleteYou're not the only one who feels that way 9:38! The NRA made the bad decision to cold call me one time before an election to try to persuade my voting and boy, did they get an earful.
DeleteAnon 9:38 You do realize that the police respond to crime (crime that is already in progress)? Having a gun in a lot of circumstances is your only hope to not being, raped, killed, burglarized or any of those things happening to you or your love ones. There are a lot of violent, crazed maniacs in this world and you need to protect yourself from them, its good sense to value yourself and your love ones enough to protect each other. We are given a right to life and so value that life.
DeleteThe reason we have the country is warriors. Gunner name means warrior. Gideon was a military leader in the Bible. Is there a theme for their boys? They are the parents they can name the child apple, north, archer… whatever they want.
Delete9:38 Gunnar and Gunner are not the same variation at all. Gunner is older than Gunnar lol.
Delete@6:31 "Well-regulated" is also part of the 2nd Amendment and our founding fathers were using muskets and flint-lock pistols at the time it was written. Our lax gun laws has brought the US to the point of having the highest rate of civilian gun ownership in the world, and also more gun violence compared to any similar high-income country. Death by firearm is now the leading cause of death among teens and children in the US. Those are shameful statistics and 2A needs to be amended in order to meet the needs of our country today. BTW, no one needs an AR-15 in order to defend themselves.
Delete@5:30 There have been 330 mass shootings and 21,000 gun violence deaths so far this year, and the year is only half over. Those are not people "protecting" each other.
Delete12:13- you're ridiculous! It's the PEOPLE not the guns! Good grief! I'd be safer with Good guys with guns than you anti gun loons! When there's an active shooter, someone armed can save your heinies! Go live in a country than banned guns. Good luck
Delete4:36- please educate yourself.. it's a name! Thank goodness I homeschool.. all I have to say. My son is a sharpshooter and if he had to, he could save a life.
DeleteAnon 12:13 No actually Americans have always been gun owners and so owning guns has never been a problem. There are a lot of reasons for gun violence in America and one of the biggest factors is they took God and prayer out of school and their lives and so they lost their moral compass and the breakdown of the family which caused children to be raised without their dads in their lives and now they live with less discipline and have no restraints. Another big factor is when a child is told not to kill and then they see these same adults fighting and protesting for the right to kill these same children's sisters and brothers in the womb, then you can't possible expect them to value life anymore then you do. Then we watch on the news the packs of kids rioting and burning down businesses and attacking the police and THEY are treated like the victims instead of perpetrators and receive no consequences or discipline. Guns are not the problem, walking away from God is the problem. Law abiding citizens need guns more then ever now to protect ourselves from the lawless criminals that people have raised and unleashed on society.
Delete@10:33 You can't seriously think that adding God and prayer back into school will stop gun violence? I grew up exactly when those were taken out of school (1962) and it made no difference in behavior one way or the other! Actually, we were glad to see it go because we had kids of all different faiths in our school and it wasn't fair to make them all listen to one religion's line of thinking. Even in elementary school, I knew that was wrong.
DeleteMy gosh, there are some nasty, name-calling people here. You're not making yourselves or your cause look any better.
Delete7/2@12:13 Not sure why you have singled out the AR except that maybe you are misinformed. While it may look like a “army rifle” it’s not. AR does not stand for assault rifle or automatic rifle. AR stands for ArmaLite, the company that developed it in the 1950’s. The “assault rifle” is fully automatic, like a machine gun, restricted for public purchase since the 1930’s. The AR is a semi automatic, firing one round with each pull of the trigger, like any other semi automatic available to the public. AR’s are no more powerful than hunting rifles of the same caliber. They are usually chambered in a lesser caliber than a 30-06 Springfield, a very popular hunting rifle that pretty much any hunter owns.
Delete7/2@10:33 AMEN!!!
Exactly 10:33! Nailed it
Delete@9:34 Only 3% of active shooter cases have ever been stopped by an armed citizen. What you're describing is not how it works.
Delete1:47 You just Amen'ed yourself?
Delete1:13 you are sadly mistaken.. it's the other "religions" that don't tolerate the Christian way of life that causes these issues. America was founded as a Christian nation. Like it or not!
DeleteLook at how NOT having guns is going for France! Buildings are being destroyed and the French citizens can't protect their homes and businesses! And some of you people want to ban gun?? Fools!!
Delete7:47 The US was not founded on any religion. The Constitution clearly states that our country shall have no official religion and there shall be no religious test as a requirement to hold public office.
DeleteAnon 2:08 Our Forefathers were almost all Christians and honored God when they wrote the Constitution. This country use to be a Christian nation with prayer in school, high Church attendance, prayer in homes, the ten commandments listed in government buildings, then in God we trust on our money, God in the pledge of allegiance, etc. Its only lately that Godless people pushed to get God out of everything and look at the mess they are causing.
Delete@7:59 That is the most sugar-coated history lesson I've ever read. How do you explain civil war, scores of massacres, denial of civil rights, political corruption, and every other horrible, ugly thing that's happened in US history since the 1600's if our forefathers were so Godly? "Only lately" is a mess? Try opening a history book.
Delete2:08- that's a lie..it WAS founded on the basis of Christianity. You're being lied to. Research more into it
DeleteNot what I came to the blog for....gun control debates do not belong and Duggar blog.
Delete@10:22 The Duggars create all kinds of discussions.
Delete@5:48 The Constitution is lying to us???
I heard that Jim Bob's uncle died. No statement from the family so I'm not sure it's true.
ReplyDeleteIt's true. There was an interesting obituary published.
DeleteBen was the minister for the funeral and apparently no Duggars attended, so it doesn't sound like they were very close.
DeleteTrue. However Jim Bob was estranged from his uncle for some time thus no statement.
DeleteBefore anymore starts commenting, Gunner and Gunnar are completely different and pronounced differently. And both their origins are different. The name Gunner is older than Gunnar and Guns. You guys need to stop reaching. It's a common name and now suddenly it's a issue because a Duggar named their child Gunner.
ReplyDeleteLol I know.. people are too soft. They should move to Cuba or better yet, France. See how safe they feel when molotov cocktails are thrown at them
DeleteMy friend lives in Cuba with her husband. Moved there voluntarily. She's not having anything lobbed at her. She's never felt unsafe. Quite the opposite - it's very friendly and family-oriented. Don't try to make it sound like the only safe place in the world is beside your guns in the US.
DeleteDear Frederick: I hope that you are having a fantastic 1st Birthday!!!!!!!! (Posted by Here's Hoping!!!!!)
