Pro tip for the snuggle me (which I LOVED for my second baby) as to put a diaper changing pad liner under the cover because the spot up sometimes goes through
The Boon rack is great! I have ours for years and keep using it for regular dishes. But it has to be clean regularly. If water sits in the bottom for days it gets moldy. Just put in the dishwasher and if is too bad with mold, just let sit in a bath with detergent and vinegar.😊
I’ve tried many different carriers and wraps with my kids. For the newborn phase, both my husband and I liked the ErgoBaby Embrace the best! After baby gets older Lenny Lamb “Lenny Go” is hands down the most comfortable carrier I’ve used and I have three of them. Tula is a good 2nd choice.
We used the Baby Brezza that also dispensed formula but the water one looks convenient as well. If you end up combo-feeding or formula feeding, it saved so much time. And for my sanity, it made it easier for my husband to feed our son and we would take turns at night. You can adjust what temp you want the water (body temp or warmer).
For the bedside crib, here in France everyone uses the Chicco next 2 me. It's great. You can put it at several heights and it zips down. I loved mine for both my kids
I’m inconsistent with watching but last I knew you were wanting another baby but your husband wasn’t totally on board. I’m trying to convince my husband for a third right now & saw this video. Happy for you!🫶🏼
My kids are 20, 16, and 3 lol I really started over with my 3 year old! (I am 40) That is how I found your channel, when I was postpartum and home breastfeeding my little one in early 2020. Excited to see your new baby! I have a feeling that it's a girl! ❤
Love this video! I’m due with my 3rd in January. All my kids have a 3.5 year age gap and we’ve really enjoyed that age difference! I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you’ve learned/what you plan to do the same/different this time around with baby #3! ❤️
You are glowing !!! 💖💙 The pack and play is fantastic with the change table and bassinet. I used it with both my kids- it was a life saver. With my second child, I wish I had two of them, one upstairs and downstairs because she absolutely disliked sleeping in the halo bassinet. We ended up bringing the pack in play in our room so would could sleep at night and during the day she would sleep in the swing for nap. We had the same swing for both kids the one you are looking at and they LOVED it!! Totally worth every cent.
That Fisher Price swing saved me with both of my kids. I tell everyone if they’re getting a swing to get one like that that swings front to back AND side to side!
For the carriers you’re talking about, the boppy comfy fit is kind of what you’re looking for. Super soft and comfy like fabric carriers but some structure and straps so not just one long piece of fabric!
The Philips Avent Drying Rack works so much better than the “grass”. It takes up less space, is easy to clean and dries everything much better. Both my daughters have one and I even keep one at my house for their visits!
The baby breeza helped tremendously when I had to switch to formula. Also, if you do get a pump from your insurance definitely keep the old one because I ended up not liking the new one from the insurance company. So I went back to my old pump.
Before you use the Mamaroo! Just want to bring to your attention that one of the models was recalled so you might want to look into that! 😭🙏🏻 thank you for sharing this list!
A word of caution with the Baby Brezza. The one you showed that only dispenses hot water would probably be fine, but I wouldn’t use the one that heats the water and mixes it with the formula powder too. People have had issues with their babies not growing properly because their Baby Brezza was not dispensing the right ratio of water to formula powder. Very young babies even run the risk of water poisoning if they get too much water and not enough formula powder. I bought that swing that you showed and it was my #1 item that I was so grateful that I had. With my last baby, I used it every day from the day we came home from the hospital until my daughter was over a year old! She only wanted to nap if she was moving and it saved me from every nap having to be a contact nap in the baby carrier. If you are worried about the price with not knowing for sure that it will work for your baby, I see them for sale gently used on Facebook Marketplace or used kids stores all the time for reasonable prices. Mine has gone though 5 babies and still works so I know it lasts! My baby hated knotted and elastic gowns both, and would kick and cry when I tried to use them. What worked for us was the reversible zipper sleepers for those middle of the night diaper changes. I didn’t even have to take the swaddle off of her when I used the reversible zipper Halo Sleepsacks or the Swaddle Me Luxe with the zipper at the bottom for diaper changes. If I were to add one suggestion to your registry it would be milestone stickers or a milestone blanket. When my baby turned a new month I would put her on the same blanket in a plain white onesie with her milestone sticker on it. I took a picture and then for her first birthday party I put all those pictures up for guests to see. I got so many compliments and it is so much fun to look back at how much she changed in that first year from month to month! I know it can be difficult to commit to doing something every month when you have more than one young child to care for, but it took me less than 5 minutes a month and I am so glad that I have those pictures now to look back on.
I have absolutely loved my baby k’tan carrier! It’s a fabric one that is mostly assembled like the one you mentioned. I keep it in the car and have used it a ton! I also have loved using my ergo baby carrier with with the infant insert
I love my Mika Micky Bassinet! Also, my baby didn’t really like the MamaRoo. At 2 AM one night when she REFUSED to sleep, I ordered the Fisher Price swing and it worked like a charm!
I really enjoyed using the ladybug haaka and recommend it to other mamas that are planning to breastfeed. It’s so convenient to stick in my bra on opposite side that baby is nursing to catch the let down. Saved me from being wet soo many times and helped me build my milk reserves.
I have the grace pack and play. Same one you selected. My son is one and is still using it. They are awesome. I also had the swing. I know you said your kids didn’t take to them. From my experience that one is great. Best of luck. ❤
I found your channel years ago through your stroller review, you sold me on it. In fact we still have it and are using it with new baby as well. Yes, my brest friend for the win!
My sister had the Baby Brezza Formula Pro and I thought it was the stupidest idea ever…until I babysat my niece. I’m currently pregnant and if breastfeeding doesn’t work out for me I will absolutely be investing in one!
My son is 2.5 months and I have that pack n play set up with the bassinet and changing station in my living room and it’s a must! The baby gowns are amazing I loved them on both my babies. I also recommended the plain white long sleeve onesies from gerber baby with the hand covers. It’s perfect for Florida babies durning the day. Also if you’re going to roomshare with baby the slumber pod is great to create some separation between you and baby when they become more aware. We started using it with my son a couple of weeks ago and he’s sleeping so much better. The slumber pod is amazing and worth every penny for vacations to put over the bassinet/pack n play 😊
all we had in the 80s was a mechanical swing that u had to wind up like every 10 min........ no pack and play- just playpens, no products to lay a baby in aside from a crib, moses basket, bassinet.....no bouncers or monitors. All we could sit them in was their car seat that we would bring into the house every day.....
This isn't true. You didn't have products to move baby. I was born in 1981. My mom had a swing for me, baby bouncer (this was invented in 1963), mobile, white noise machine, baby monitor (this was invented in 1937), and a soft structured carrier. My mom never used my carseat inside the house. She used the swing, bouncer, soft sided carrier, and Moses basket.
I have that pack and play and it’s a godsend 😂 no regrets!! Can’t believe baby #3 is on the way!! Can’t wait to see what the gender is! ❤❤all the best with the move
The ingenuity 2in 1 swing and bouncer is rlly good its the one i bought this time around i had the graco one it was also good just more expensive and this one is the same thing and cheaper
Have you considered the owlet baby sock? Just to help with the anxiety postpartum. Sorry if you mentioned your opinion on it, but I have been trying to listen to the whole video for the 6th time but keep getting interrupted and now I'm not sure if I missed you talking about it.
Baby Brezza was amazing! If you supplement or end up formula feeding which unfortunately happened to me. That thing was amazing. I loved it! Highly recommend.
So excited to see Jackson and Riley’s reactions when baby gets here! I used the Mika baby bassinet from Amazon and that worked really well for us. We had carpet and the bassinet was on wheels so it was super easy to roll around, I love that it had mesh sides and you can adjust the height as well as lots of space in the bassinet, it definitely worked for us and one of the best things I added to the registry!
Just a heads up that the ergobaby embrace carrier is actually only good until around 3 months. Then the seat becomes too narrow and it is no longer ergonomic for the kid. A bunch of other carriers at a similar pricepoint are useable for much longer :-)
I have the Besrey bassinet and loved it!!! I believe it’s one that you put a picture of! Super functional and we wheeled her back and forth to the living room in the first few weeks ☺️
Don’t buy the super expensive baby swing! By the portable cheaper $80 ingenuity swing. Small, easy to move around if you need to, definitely smart if you don’t have a ton of space for baby gear! I actually bought mine used in excellent condition for like $30 and it’s lasted me two kids so far 😊 When we had our second child we were living in a 630 square foot trailer so we had very limited space and had to have the baby in our room for 17 months until we moved into a bigger house, but we bought a mini crib instead of a basinet (and honestly it was probably cheaper!) and it was amazing! She used it from like day two of her life until she was 17 months old (and at 20 months old she honestly would still fit in it but she’s in a toddler bed now). But I loved the mini crib and it also has wheels and fits through doorways so you can easily move it from room to room if you need to.
I really liked the ladybug from haakaa. It actually does have a little bit of suction and it fits so well in my bra. I really liked that! One other nursing pillow that is nice that I have is the fridamom nursing pillow. It is very sturdy and supportive of the baby! I hope your baby prep is going well :).
Hi Kayla, we had the Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer bassinet and it was amazing. My baby slept in it until 7-8 months old! We also had the Peg-Perego high chair and the Graco Pack and play and loved them both. I really wanted the BabyBjorn bouncer, but never got it and instead got a cheaper one that got recalled. If you get most things at Target you can get 10% off for having a registry and then an additional 5% off for housing the Target debit card. Hope this helps!
Kayla oh my god I had no idea you were expecting I’ve been so not a new mom again ahahahha that I haven’t seen many updates and I’ve binged watched your videos! We are currently planning baby #2 and I am loving these videos and updates! Jackson is so big wow! You guys look great!!!! What a beautiful family you guys are! And welcome back to FL!
Try the advent bottles they have different sizes and when baby gets older you can convert them to sippy cups ! Tbey are amazon. They kinda pricey but not too bad. And they say the nipple niminicks breast feeding
Hi Kayla! Getting so excited for you and love watching all the things! We have a bassinet very similar to the ones you shared and love it! Very functional, large too so baby can actually sleep in it for quite a while. We love the snuggle me too! Our baby is 2.5 months and still getting use out of it! We had that baby delight bouncer and it wasn’t very functional for a newborn so we actually got rid of it, very aesthetically pleasing but hard for the baby to be comfortable in it when they can’t hold their head up yet.
For both of my babies, I used a mini crib next to my bed. They did well in it and were able to grow into it. I originally wanted a bassinet type of bed but I realized that each time they would get up to feed I would need to change their daiper anyway so I would have to stand up and change them rather than jus reach in and put them next to me. But I guess u could change them on the bed too. It's jus throwing the daiper, etc im up already. The mini crib was perfect bcuz I could also adjust it to the height of my bed so I could look over and see baby eye level. I kept the railing on all sides of the mini crib for protection. This worked for us 💘💕 love your videos and I learn so much 💛
I am totally team paci from day one! I’ve always heard that if you are breastfeeding just don’t use the flat pacifiers, more rounded ones are better. At first my baby hated the little reclined bath chair (I think because she didn’t feel secure and it was hard), so I did use one geared towards newborns for the first 2 months or so until she got bigger, so I think the sink one you showed would be a good idea! Wishing you the best during these last few weeks of pregnancy! Also, I can’t wait for the moving vlog. I’m just over here patiently waiting. 😂
Yes! Definitely doing that this time around! And did you follow the chaos over on Instagram? Lol 😂 it’s been the least fun I’ve ever had in my life this move 💀💀💀
Informed decision making is important. Pacifier usage can cause issues for moms that are aiming to exclusively or mostly breastfeed. Pacifiers and artificial nipples can impact milk supply, especially if used in the first 6 weeks or if used excessively. It can cause low milk supply by delaying or skipping feeds at the breast. There are ways to use a paci conservatively while establishing your milk supply (only after feeds, only for a few mins, after baby is 6wk old). I’ve seen babies have weight gain issues due to pacifier use. #InformedIsBest
Each mother, baby, and situation is unique. Of course, if you feel a pacifier is impacting your baby’s feeds and/or your milk supply then you should use it as you see fit. For me, all of my babies who each had unique feeding experiences did fine with a pacifier and without issues, it was such a helpful tool for us. Obviously to each his own, though.
@@jes5icaP my twins were in the NICU and the NICU gave them pacifiers. Only place in a "baby friendly hospital" they will... but yes they did. I had HELLP syndrome and nearly died and had my milk not come in til day 5. My preemies couldn't be starved for 5 days. So they started on formula bottles and pacifiers. We were just fine breastfeeding, exclusively breastfed once they came home (they supplimented with formula in the hospital since my supply hadnt quite met the demand for the medical orders for both yet).. so by 13 days old, and I didn't wean them til they turned two.
Had the twin my breast friend for my twins. It's also marketed as good for plus size ladies if they need a bigger pillow. I actually got it at a Just Between Friends consignment sale for like 20 bucks. Definitely recommend that one, and to look at consignment for them.
I tried the Hakka lady bug and really didn’t get along with it. For me it was messy and also extremely uncomfortable, it would cut into my breast and it was also way to bulky. I loved the original Hakka and just traditional round milk catchers.
Swings and stuff that the covers can be washed I would 100% recommend buying used. They are used for such a short window of time it’s such a waste to buy new
I requemend to not get the mama eye i had it with my sun and he was so uncomfortable because of the posture he was in when he was sitting and also it might be small but it wasn't foldable for storage
Le the baby hear nose because i have a 2 year old and my doughters is a her one and obviously I'm not gonna tell KY some to be quite because of her he also needs to be a kid and you know how 2 year old are with the energy ,i let him scream all he wants que put loud music so that she can get used to her brother and also Jose.around her so she won't wake up to student nose or when you want to do something and she's sleeping you won't worry about her waking up
Don't get a bassinet. The Halo was awful my son just hated it, we sold right after we moved him to his nursery. Our room is big and we got a mini crib for baby two and it's been way better. Just get a good mattress for it, the ones they come with are too thin. You want a regular swing trust me, both kids used it and loved it, just the cheap Fisher Price. Number two would do her morning naps there (NEVER unattended of course, always only if we sit next to her).
Dont get your kid used to warm bottles. I rarely gave my daughter a warm bottle. If you use formula all you need is filtered water. I didnt use filtered water with my daughter, but I lived in Switzerland at the time. Their tap water is incrediblely clean compared to most countries. Theres no chlorine in their water.
I’ve been waiting for your next video. I thought it would be the movers taking the furniture to the new house. With everything going on, I didn’t think you would be able to do a baby registry video anytime soon. Remember to take it easy and rest. I know you want to do a lot, but don’t overdo it. Thank God Mimi has been helping every step of the way.
For the love of god, dont give the newborn those drops! I gave my son formula, our doctor was adamant that these drops will help ( back in 2018). Baby had no colic whatsoever, started the drops and immediately the poor thing experienced extreme pain, i will never forget. Never again for us. Also all baby formula has everything their little bodies need, why the extra supplement?
The most important think you should watch before you have a baby is a series on RUclips called a shot in the dark candace owens , great way to get yourself medically informed:)
Thank you. This felt genuine. Some newborn essential videos are ridiculous telling women they need to spend $300 on a crib mattress.

Can you put a link pls
YES I’ve had that swing for both my girls and they both loved it. I still use it for my one year old and she loves it!
Silverlettes are amazing. Use them right away in the hospital. They SAVED me. Absolutely worth it.
I’m inconsistent with watching but last I knew you were wanting another baby but your husband wasn’t totally on board. I’m trying to convince my husband for a third right now & saw this video. Happy for you!🫶🏼

For the baby carrier, I suggest looking at the boppy carrier. It’s a cross between a wrap and a structured carrier. We love ours!
Can you put a link to the one you’re talking about maybe pls
Love this video! I’m due with my 3rd in January. All my kids have a 3.5 year age gap and we’ve really enjoyed that age difference! I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you’ve learned/what you plan to do the same/different this time around with baby #3! ❤️

I know it can be difficult to commit to doing something every month when you have more than one young child to care for, but it took me less than 5 minutes a month and I am so glad that I have those pictures now to look back on.
The graco swings the ones that go side to side forward and back the best!😊 👌
Our family’s favorite too. Tried and true!
Our favorite too! And the one that the bouncer seat comes off. 2 in 1! Our baby loves it compared to anything else.
I bought the baby Fisher-Price swing two weeks after I have my baby and so far my two children have like it
I would love to see your bedside nursery set up. You are always so organized, such and inspiration!! ❤
I have absolutely loved my baby k’tan carrier! It’s a fabric one that is mostly assembled like the one you mentioned. I keep it in the car and have used it a ton! I also have loved using my ergo baby carrier with with the infant insert
I love my Mika Micky Bassinet!

I really enjoyed using the ladybug haaka and recommend it to other mamas that are planning to breastfeed. It’s so convenient to stick in my bra on opposite side that baby is nursing to catch the let down. Saved me from being wet soo many times and helped me build my milk reserves.
Highly recommend the ergo baby embrace carrier. Curt using with my almost 3 month old and used it from birth. Super simple to put on

I also had the swing. I know you said your kids didn’t take to them. From my experience that one is great.

Yes there was just because you didn’t have it doesn’t mean others didn’t

My husband and I plan on trying for our second starting in January. So excited! Thank you for this video
I loved the bedside sleeper for my 3rd baby. Also like the dock a tot type loungers, and portable sound machines!!
The ingenuity 2in 1 swing and bouncer is rlly good its the one i bought this time around i had the graco one it was also good just more expensive and this one is the same thing and cheaper
Yes! I am pregnant with my second and you reminded me of so many things I forgot about!
Have you considered the owlet baby sock? Just to help with the anxiety postpartum. Sorry if you mentioned your opinion on it, but I have been trying to listen to the whole video for the 6th time but keep getting interrupted and now I'm not sure if I missed you talking about it.
An automatic bouncer is a must! I believe it’s called smart bouncer at target or buybuy baby but I loved it. Super light and bounces itself
Baby Brezza was amazing! If you supplement or end up formula feeding which unfortunately happened to me. That thing was amazing. I loved it! Highly recommend.
So excited to see Jackson and Riley’s reactions when baby gets here!

Yes on the pacifier! Give it to the baby early. It doesn’t affect breastfeeding. (However, I did wait until my milk came in to use it.)
I have the Besrey bassinet and loved it!!! I believe it’s one that you put a picture of! Super functional and we wheeled her back and forth to the living room in the first few weeks ☺️
I found this video very useful. Thank you for sharing 😊😊
Don’t buy the super expensive baby swing! By the portable cheaper $80 ingenuity swing. Small, easy to move around if you need to, definitely smart if you don’t have a ton of space for baby gear! I actually bought mine used in excellent condition for like $30 and it’s lasted me two kids so far 😊
When we had our second child we were living in a 630 square foot trailer so we had very limited space and had to have the baby in our room for 17 months until we moved into a bigger house, but we bought a mini crib instead of a basinet (and honestly it was probably cheaper!) and it was amazing!

10000 to the baby breeza water warmer if you have to formula feed!!! Saves so much time and is so convenient

We are currently planning baby #2 and I am loving these videos and updates! Jackson is so big wow! You guys look great!!!! What a beautiful family you guys are! And welcome back to FL!
Loved the Konny baby wrap for the first 6 months. My babies are giants so I needed a structured carrier after that.
The 4moms bassinet and fisher Price and shhh sounds we’re a must have for me
We have the graco
Swing and it’s so nice cause it can be moved around one handed!
Ooo good to know! Thank you!!
Have you looked at lalabubaby baby carrier? It’s like a combo structured and wrap! It was the best purchase I made for baby number 2!
We have the angel grey bathseat and its amazing. Didnt like the frida mom one. The chicco next to me crib (zip one) is amazing. X
Rectangle laundry basket to lay the baby in I did this for both my kids
I love this. My mother-in-law did that with my husband! We can make things so much more complicated now. 😆
I have the graco pack and play, and it was wonderful! The changing pad part was great. Super excited for you Kayla!!
Yayyy I’m so glad you like it!!! Thanks for the feedback!
Yes to the swing , ergo baby carrier & snuggle me!
Good morning sweet friends! Wishing you a restful weekend Kayla. ❤
Thank you!!!!
Try the advent bottles they have different sizes and when baby gets older you can convert them to sippy cups ! Tbey are amazon. They kinda pricey but not too bad. And they say the nipple niminicks breast feeding
Hi Kayla! Getting so excited for you and love watching all the things!
We have a bassinet very similar to the ones you shared and love it! Very functional, large too so baby can actually sleep in it for quite a while. We love the snuggle me too! Our baby is 2.5 months and still getting use out of it! We had that baby delight bouncer and it wasn’t very functional for a newborn so we actually got rid of it, very aesthetically pleasing but hard for the baby to be comfortable in it when they can’t hold their head up yet.
Oooo good to know!! Thank you!!
I was hoping for a moving vlog 😅 but at least I have something to start my Friday! Thanks Kayla for the consistency!!
Next one will be the moving vlog!
For both of my babies, I used a mini crib next to my bed. They did well in it and were able to grow into it. I originally wanted a bassinet type of bed but I realized that each time they would get up to feed I would need to change their daiper anyway so I would have to stand up and change them rather than jus reach in and put them next to me. But I guess u could change them on the bed too. It's jus throwing the daiper, etc im up already. The mini crib was perfect bcuz I could also adjust it to the height of my bed so I could look over and see baby eye level. I kept the railing on all sides of the mini crib for protection. This worked for us 💘💕 love your videos and I learn so much 💛
I am totally team paci from day one! I’ve always heard that if you are breastfeeding just don’t use the flat pacifiers, more rounded ones are better.
At first my baby hated the little reclined bath chair (I think because she didn’t feel secure and it was hard), so I did use one geared towards newborns for the first 2 months or so until she got bigger, so I think the sink one you showed would be a good idea! Wishing you the best during these last few weeks of pregnancy!
Also, I can’t wait for the moving vlog. I’m just over here patiently waiting. 😂
Yes! Definitely doing that this time around! And did you follow the chaos over on Instagram? Lol 😂 it’s been the least fun I’ve ever had in my life this move 💀💀💀
Informed decision making is important. Pacifier usage can cause issues for moms that are aiming to exclusively or mostly breastfeed. Pacifiers and artificial nipples can impact milk supply, especially if used in the first 6 weeks or if used excessively. It can cause low milk supply by delaying or skipping feeds at the breast. There are ways to use a paci conservatively while establishing your milk supply (only after feeds, only for a few mins, after baby is 6wk old). I’ve seen babies have weight gain issues due to pacifier use. #InformedIsBest
Each mother, baby, and situation is unique. Of course, if you feel a pacifier is impacting your baby’s feeds and/or your milk supply then you should use it as you see fit. For me, all of my babies who each had unique feeding experiences did fine with a pacifier and without issues, it was such a helpful tool for us. Obviously to each his own, though.
@@KaylaBuell, I just watched them all. God bless you!😅😅😅
@@jes5icaP my twins were in the NICU and the NICU gave them pacifiers. Only place in a "baby friendly hospital" they will... but yes they did. I had HELLP syndrome and nearly died and had my milk not come in til day 5. My preemies couldn't be starved for 5 days. So they started on formula bottles and pacifiers. We were just fine breastfeeding, exclusively breastfed once they came home (they supplimented with formula in the hospital since my supply hadnt quite met the demand for the medical orders for both yet).. so by 13 days old, and I didn't wean them til they turned two.
Can’t wait to see the moving vlog!
My sister had one of the bedside bassinet and it worked for naps but my nephew was stubborn and just didn't want to be in it for nighttime 😂
I have a question. I know this is not on topic- but is the new house on a nice street where you can take walks during the day?
The Costco wipes are amazing
Had the twin my breast friend for my twins. It's also marketed as good for plus size ladies if they need a bigger pillow. I actually got it at a Just Between Friends consignment sale for like 20 bucks. Definitely recommend that one, and to look at consignment for them.
Both my kids loved the Fisher Price swing. We also had the mamaroo and my baby didn’t care for it.
Fisher price swing is the way to go!
Thanks for your help !
I had a swing that turned multiple directions and also came off to be a bouncer
Instead of heating bottles we just always used room temperature water. She never knew anything different so drank them fine.
We are relocating to Florida I'm scared and excited for our new adventure how did you feel at least
Love happy baby baby carrier
Which glider did you have with the first 2 kiddos? Looking into a good one for nursing and we are about the same size (I’m 5’3”.)
Congratulations!! Did you do a surprise for the genders of your other children?
No she didn’t she knew ahead of time for the others
I tried the Hakka lady bug and really didn’t get along with it. For me it was messy and also extremely uncomfortable, it would cut into my breast and it was also way to bulky. I loved the original Hakka and just traditional round milk catchers.
So the boppy has one that’s very similar to the Brest friend! It’s better than both
Ooo I didn’t know! Thanks!
3 months to go!!! Also moving in 2 weeks so many changes
Swings and stuff that the covers can be washed I would 100% recommend buying used. They are used for such a short window of time it’s such a waste to buy new
What is the nasal aspirator that you have? I know I saw it in a video at like 1am the other day but I can't find the video again.
You want the Breeza! Trust me!
It’s like a formula Keurig
I requemend to not get the mama eye i had it with my sun and he was so uncomfortable because of the posture he was in when he was sitting and also it might be small but it wasn't foldable for storage
Le the baby hear nose because i have a 2 year old and my doughters is a her one and obviously I'm not gonna tell KY some to be quite because of her he also needs to be a kid and you know how 2 year old are with the energy ,i let him scream all he wants que put loud music so that she can get used to her brother and also Jose.around her so she won't wake up to student nose or when you want to do something and she's sleeping you won't worry about her waking up
The discreet diapers legit gave me a diaper rash after, like 1 week of wearing them. 😂 but it was not fun.
Don't get a bassinet. The Halo was awful my son just hated it, we sold right after we moved him to his nursery. Our room is big and we got a mini crib for baby two and it's been way better. Just get a good mattress for it, the ones they come with are too thin.
You want a regular swing trust me, both kids used it and loved it, just the cheap Fisher Price. Number two would do her morning naps there (NEVER unattended of course, always only if we sit next to her).
I cant wait to see if you have a boy or a girl....so exciting!!!
I never warmed up baby milk I just made it straight and that’s it because when your in the street how are you going to warm up
Are you planning to have more kids after this baby or is this going to be your last one?
Dont get your kid used to warm bottles. I rarely gave my daughter a warm bottle. If you use formula all you need is filtered water. I didnt use filtered water with my daughter, but I lived in Switzerland at the time. Their tap water is incrediblely clean compared to most countries. Theres no chlorine in their water.
Kinder braverly is the best bra!!!!
You can hook your nose frida to your breast pump and then it’s a electric one
I’ve been waiting for your next video. I thought it would be the movers taking the furniture to the new house. With everything going on, I didn’t think you would be able to do a baby registry video anytime soon. Remember to take it easy and rest. I know you want to do a lot, but don’t overdo it. Thank God Mimi has been helping every step of the way.
Hahaha I filmed it earlier in the week I just had to finish editing it! Next video will be the moving vlog and yes mimi has been soooooo helpful
😀😀😀
Can we get one gender reveal vedio
For the love of god, dont give the newborn those drops! I gave my son formula, our doctor was adamant that these drops will help ( back in 2018). Baby had no colic whatsoever, started the drops and immediately the poor thing experienced extreme pain, i will never forget. Never again for us. Also all baby formula has everything their little bodies need, why the extra supplement?
The most important think you should watch before you have a baby is a series on RUclips called a shot in the dark candace owens , great way to get yourself medically informed:)
I agree! Amazing research.
