    Wow your so organized 😍 and those icy pads were a smart idea, I remember doing a lot of sitz baths to help the soreness omg but make sure you stay hydrated and eat foods high in fiber to avoid constipation postpartum. Not fun especially after episiotomy 😭

    I love the avent bottles too. My babies were always bottle fed but I don't recommend the glass bottles. My dad got them for my 1st kid and when my daughter became old enough to hold her own bottle she started to toss her bottles and ended up breaking all of them🤣 so I recommend the plastic for any new moms here that are bottle feeding

    Hi Nikole, I really love your channel. I am based in Berlin Germany and I am currently in my week 22, your videos are helping me a lot to prepare. I was wondering if you ended up making use of all these prep things you did, specially the padsicles :) Thanks a lot!

  • @xTureliex
    @xTureliex 3 года назад +2

    I love those cuddly pacifer toys. :) My kiddo did NOT care for pacifiers. 😆 Once, that was it, and as soon as she realized no milk came out she refused them. And we did combo breastfeeding and bottle (breastmilk and a good organic milk based formula) because I didn't produce enough.
    Hated zippers on sleepers because they always folded up into her face. 😕 I have rheumatoid arthritis and still went with snaps. When she was newborn we went with the open bottom long gowns so diaper changes in the middle of the night would be easier. 🙂
    It looks like you two are well prepared! You'll be fine. Such exciting times! 💜

  • @faiya6067
    @faiya6067 3 года назад

    Glass bottles are great since they are easy to clean but I prefer the plastic bottles for the big ones coz little ones(the older ones) tend to throw their bottles around. That and glass is heavy to travel with.. ❤️

  • @alejandrahinojos
    @alejandrahinojos 3 года назад +4

    The pads idea is awesome!!, when I had my second baby, the Dr tear the perineal area, from the front to the back! Because she used her hands to turn and pull the baby out of me, and my mom suggested that I should sit on salted water to heal faster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ omg I regretted doing that immediately!

  • @aimeechas

    Our baby didn’t do well with those. Made her gassy. We did the dr. Browns glass bottles and thank goodness she did very well with those. We only need to change the nipple based on stage. So just FYI, if she’s colicky or gassy give them a try. Good luck!!!

    Love the burp cloths, I bought a bunch of baby wash cloths and would use those for spit up through out the day too. They are easier to wash and I feel like they absorb better.

    I can recommend you the Elvie Pump. It's super cool because it has no tubes and wires and doesn't make noise. In my opinion it's perfect. You can have your hands free while you're pumping. Also you can use it with the Elvie App to monitor milk volume in real time, track pumping history for each breast and control the pump remotely. After using you can easily wash the pumps. It's also perfect for new mamas! Check it out. It's a life changer in our mama-world! 😉
