Lauren Alaina is getting parenting advice from Jason Aldean's wife, Brittany. The two friends sat down to talk as part of Lauren's YouTube series, LA Lately, where Lauren asked Brittany for help with a wide array of topics. Lauren posted the conversation shortly before she and her husband, Cam Arnold, welcomed their first daughter, Beni Doll Arnold, on June 11.

"I have looked up to Brittany as a mother for so long," Lauren says (via Country Now). "In fact, both times I toured with Jason, I think you were pregnant. And here I am. We've traded spaces."
Brittany and Jason are parents to 7-year-old son Memphis and Navy, who is 6 years old. One of Brittany's biggest pieces of advice for Lauren is to get Beni used to touring as soon as possible.
"They don't know any different now," Brittany says. "Their little bunks are their safe space, and they love it, and they always have. To the point where we had this - we'd zip them in. But before that, we would velcro them in, because you know how the bus rides so bumpy. And so you velcro them in their swaddle, so that they don't roll around and go anywhere. It's crazy.
"And then you have your monitor in the corner," she adds. "And then you have your little camera monitor in your bedroom, and then you just listen...I mean, it's long nights."
Why Brittany Aldean Suggests Lauren Alaina Bring Her Baby On The Road
If anyone has experience traveling with babies on the road, it's Brittany. Fortunately, she is able to travel with her son and daughter because it's all they've ever known.
"I think it's important to do that, 'cause that's your life," Brittany explains. "So I think you start them early to, where they get accustomed to at all. And then it's not super weird when they do go out for the future years."
Lauren, who says she is planning on breastfeeding, acknowledges she is worried about getting up all night. But Brittany says that, while it is exhausting, it's also exhilarating, in the best possible way.
"It's just a blur. You don't really remember it much. It's the best thing in the world, honestly. You get this euphoric high," Brittany says, adding that she kept her babies in bassinets beside her bed.
"It was so exciting, 'cause you're so excited to meet the little angel," Brittany remarks. "And then all of a sudden, they're next to you and you get so happy to get up. I mean it's such a privilege to be a mom."
