Finally a real reasonable first time mom stating what NEEDS to be said 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hosanna Tilialo I know right!!! I agree on all the items she talked about! It should be criminal how all these companies try to push off all this useless crap on people! They completely take advantage of parents being happy and excited to have a baby.
@@jessicamccabe9101 Right!? Its so sad -.- Not just companies but consumers as well. Although many claim to not be materialistic we forget we are now living in time of being materialistic. My moms very old fashioned so for my son not to have "much" because we just weren't brought up that way was overwhelming. I found myself feeling pressured or bad for not wanting a crib or having a swing set or the "proper" pump. Like this video was my reassurance that I was going to be okay doing things different and no mother or parent should feel bad for feeling some type of way for any reason!
I bought my first born like 30 baby bottles before he was even here 😂
Seriously, *taking tips lol
I used socks for my newborn so her feet wouldn’t get cold
I have a friend who's son hated his crib, every night they would find him sleeping in their dog's bed on the floor. They ended up just buying him his own (took him to the pet store and let him try some out and decided which one he liked best) and putting it in his room. Sleeps through the night no problem now. Lol
Shawnee.16 lmao that’s so cute
That’s hilarious!
Hopefully not as a newborn though...
@@jenniferstarlight3173 the baby couldnt pick it out or crawl out of a crib lol
Jennifer Starlight 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I'm almost 29 weeks pregnant and have realized SOOOO many unnecessary and expensive things are pushed on moms, so thank you for the honestly 😅😅
Congratulations!

A tip I learned from my sister. Use all those extra newborn socks for their hands. The mitts they make come off constantly making it more likely for baby to accidentally scratch themselves. Because socks have that stretchy part, they don't come off as easily. That's what I use my socks for.
kaedrian I started doing the same as socks were becoming tight for legs 🤣 n mittens were coming off and my baby was able to remove them so easily..
We did this to our daughter since most mittens fall out 😅 and this hack works really well
I did this too. It totally saved our bacon
True, did the same
I can’t express how much I love listening to woman who can deliver pregnancy/baby related content without talking to the audience like we are their children in a patronising fake baby voice. New subscriber and thumbs up here 👍🏻
"Your baby is not Jessica's baby" 😂😂 such great advice

So what I'm hearing is SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Haha just because it's expensive and "cute" doesn't mean you need it! Keep it simple and effective, save your money for when you actually need it.
They grow so fast. Bassinet is used for 4 months.
@@robinluich6626 My daughter has slept in her crib since she out grew this little sleeper thing we have. It sits in bed with us but it doesn't allow her to roll over and it stops us from rolling onto her and it was only about $25

I love how honest you are about everything! I’m 20 weeks Thursday with our 3rd- a little girl and I’ve been dreading putting her crib up knowing dad will be there to run and take her out the second she makes a squeak! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you for your honesty!!!
if you want a crib, i suggest in investing in the kind that can be tuned into a toddler bed. my brothers bed that he’s had as an infant has lasted four years, still relevant and changed with him. i’m not sure what it’s called but 10/10
Totally agree. We got this type of convertible crib from Ikea - quite cheap and it will last a long time.
In the UK we call them cotbeds. I had them for all of mine. I got the ones which you can change the height, so it’s easier to pick them up. They still fit in them.. eldest is nearly 6.
Edit: obviously the 6 year old isn’t in a cot 😂 you lower it, and take the sides off.
my brother and I did it - mine also came with a changing table - love it
@@pebblespop9053 I live in the UK, where can I get this type of cot from?
Mrs Jo Danquah wayfair, Ickle bubba, Argos, Asda, John Lewis.
Buying a stroller is like buying a car. You want it to grow with your kid to at least 3 years. Can you handle it alone? Does it move well? Is it sturdy enough for the terrain you will use? Factor this before picking out a registry. Only thing that doesn't matter is color. Carriers/Car Seats are the next to look and research. If doing a registry, ask for gift cards. Then you can shop for what you need, when you need it. Just came from a shower (ugh) and the first time mom ended up with an explosion of pink newborn to 6 month old clothes. Styles that weren't the parent's personalities. She spent time trying to exchange so much of these items to get things she truly needed.
Yeah.i invested expensive stroller that could hold my baby from infant up to 4 yrs old.lol
Omg.. finally someone talking about legs getting stuck on the rales of the crib! Couldn’t agree more..
Yes, yes and YES TO ALL!!! Expecting my third and I thought I was frugal with the first two...this time, I will be buying even less unnecessary items. Thanks for sharing!
“It was like I was prepping them for a 5k.” 🤣😂🤣
expecting mom here! im so glad to see this lol i just want to buy stuff for the experience since its my first time 😭😭😭 but i def dont want to waste money and have things go to waste, so thank you for this!!
You literally hit every category on the nail! Perfect First Time Mom registry Advice. I’m pregnant with my 2nd child and agreed with EVERYTHING. Lol 😂
Yes, as a nanny for 25 years, I was tortured by diaper bags on my shoulder, when I could have had a back pack, and then lifting babies in their carrier I would strain my shoulders and be in pain for months and years. I also saw so much wasted money on useless baby products. Great video!
If it involves heavy emotions: marriage, babies, funerals...you can believe that people will try to sell you overpriced and unnecessary items!
I’m so glad I’ve found your video! All the other videos were very basic and didn’t explain why they didn’t like them. I’m due in 4 weeks and I’m freaking out what I need and don’t need 😩 thank you! 🤟🏽💕
I can’t even explain how much I love this video! I made/edited my registry as I watched this video. I’m not the women to follow trends and buy every gadget that’s out there. But this is my first baby and it really helped me feel better when it came to what’s REALLY considered essential. Thank you!
I have watched so many of these types of videos (first baby due later this year) and this is by far one of the best! So honest! Love it!!!
Even though I don’t plan on having a baby soon, I love watching baby must haves. This is the first time that I find someone that thinks exactly like I do. It seems like there are “I need everything” people or extremely minimal everything brown people and I just fall somewhere in between. Thank you for the vid I really enjoyed it and your honesty.
i bought a 6 in 1 crib for $200. She will be using this crib until high school period 🤷🏼♀️ && i really thought some of this stuff was common sense .. like you do not need that to survive with a baby 😂
Allison Boone 😂
Hi Allison can you please share the name and location where you bought your crib from?
Allison Boone haha this made me giggle!
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am SO with you on the crib! Don’t need one and takes up lots of room. So so true
I just wanted to say thank you I've been so very on the fence about purchasing a stroller. Now I feel like I can go with my gut and get the stroller I really want.

And me! ;)
Scrolling through comments and I see yours 👋🏽 lol
Love this! When my friends ask me to look over their baby registry and ask for my essential baby items, I always tell them that every baby is different. My son loves his crib and been in it since he was 1 month, we loved our diaper genie, and couldn't live without a bottle warmer for the first 4 months. I tell new moms to wait before opening all of their baby items or washing all of their clothes.
I agree with my 3rd child I didn’t open all the baby gifts and I still use a diaper genie mines never broke- and the crib is really good in my opinion the bottle warmer is an essential again my opinion
When my son was born I was a bit concerned as to whether or not he had enough things but this video reminds me that he has enough and that I didnt have to go out and get so many unnecessary things for my son.
Wipe warmer is a definite do not regret for us. Our baby cried every change at the hospital but now she doesn't even fuss. She likes warm wipes on the toosh, and even pees during changes at times because of the warmth 😅
Some of these kind of depend on where you live. I live in NY and had my baby during the winter. We used socks every single day, along with the wipe warmer so he wasn’t cold and screaming. And I also liked snap pajamas more than zipper pajamas because when he was asleep all I had to do was unsnap from the bottom remove his legs while the upper half of his body was still covered, wipe with a warm wipe, put the legs back in the leg sleeves, resnap and I was done.
They actually make zipper ones that zip from the bottom!
Try a baby sleep gown..the scrunch one not the knotted 😊😊
Lol when it was winter months ago I kept my baby with me in bed because that time I didn’t have a baby monitor but luckily I got a baby monitor and it makes my life easier
Exact reason why I bought the convertible cribs for both my kids. Yeah it’s expensive to start, but it’s the crib to toddler bed to full size bed all in one. It’s great that I don’t have to worry about buying a new bed when the next stage starts!
Soooo helpful thank you!!! Finally a reasonable mom giving real advice not just selling something fancy we don’t need
I love how blunt you are in your videos. As a first time mom your videos are so creative and helpful!!
As a mom of soon to be 5 little humans everything she said in this video is 100% accurate. Best what not to buy video I have ever seen on youtube ! Good job momma
Thank you!!! 🙏
5?!? Jesus Christ, woman.
This woman is dangerous as all fuck. Hopefully her kids were removed from her care and placed with someone responsible
Agree with so many of these. Especially the bottle warmer. Here's a lifesaver tip: just give your kid cool/room temperature bottles from day one. They will never get used to the warm bottle and therefore won't expect it. The crib I bought worked well for us for a long time, but we did need a mesh bumper like the one shown in the video, too. Our crib was made of iron with a nontoxic finish and the baby never wanted to chew it. Other moms, definitely heed her warning about wooden cribs!
This is the most honest baby stuff video I' ve watched. I went through almost everything you talk about in the video with my first one. Now pregnant w 2nd and I wanted to refresh my mind a little on what I really need and your video nailed it. (Ended up w the mattress on the floor as well w my 1st one and I would recommended it to anyone)
😆 you’re so funny! Everything you talked about is totally true! I’m on my 3rd single baby and I’ve experienced all of those mistakes. I wish I had seen videos like this from the get go. The Montessori “program/ life style” makes so much sense, is basically all the tips you just talked about. Specially the bedding situation. Happy parenting!
I bought the city select lux for our twins, and my husband thought it was too much money... but it's been such a lifesaver for us trying to haul 2 carseats everywhere. We get so much use out of it
I’m a first time young mom, 8 months pregnant and I did everything right according to this list 😂💗 especially getting a pack and play that comes with a bassinet instead of a crib
I seriously love your attitude! Thank you for keeping it real! Great advice!
OMG! I absolutely loved this. My wife and I are expecting and we literally laughed the whole video. Your commentary was great. Thank you for the tips.
I’m 25 weeks pregnant and just set up my crib WITH teething rail covers all the way around AND mesh bumpers!!! I feel really prepared and I’m glad I made the decision to get them from day 1 so that I get optimum use. I can’t Imagine how frustrating your crib situation was! Waking up to a blood curdling scream would scare me to death and having to go in and get their arm or leg out would be so scary in case it got stuck.
My 5 year old still loves her hooded towels from when she was a baby 😂
Loved everything about this video!
It was honest and practical and as a first time mom who doesn’t know what she’s doing it was helpful and humorous!
This made me feel so much better about what I have! We kept saying people have had babies for millennia; surely, we don’t need all this junk! We had a lot of pushback on our minimal registry, but I’m glad to have this reassurance we didn’t waste anyone’s money!
Making a registry as a first time mom was a nightmare. I wish I could’ve done it over knowing what I know now. I also regret not getting the more expensive/high quality items that I truly wanted and not taking my own living circumstances into account when selecting stroller, high chair, etc.
Oh my gosh I’m so glad I watched this video - I’m very tight on space and budget and getting a crib would have meant we would have to discard some furniture to make room - I’m totally just getting a pack and play instead!!!!
New subscriber! I am a new mom & let me tell you, you are SPOT ON on every single one of these products. When my daughter was 3 weeks old we moved to another state so we didn’t have a crib & still don’t 5 months later & people think I’m crazy. There’s a hundred places she can sleep safely. I’m currently going through all of these pointless things & I can’t even give them away🤦🏻♀️
Literally the best video I’ve ever seen hahaha everything you said I was “yup my regrets are your regrets” 😭🤣💀
I loved the way you explain about crib situation. I was just laughing. But I totally agree with all the items you mentioned. Mine is 4 months old and I haven't unwrapped my wipes warmer from box.
Hmmm the crib was an interesting point of view. I bought a toddler conversion crib used for 50 bucks and she has used it from day 1. I skipped the whole bassinet thing as I just saw it as pointless, because we had enough space for a crib in our room. She stayed until about 14 months and now she is in her own room at 17 months. It was an easy transition for us, and she had never tried to escape the crib yet lol but when she does it converts to a toddler bed easily. Only thing I regret is the pack and play. We have used it very little.
Vanessa Mora don’t regret the pack and play even if you used it once. It’s a safe sleeper. I used to let my son sleep in bouncers & his car seat when we traveled & i got lucky it could have killed him! (I was a stupid first time mom I got zero advice)
Thank you! I'm a first time Mom and so many people look at me like I'm crazy when I say I dont want a crib, and have chosen to go the pack and play route. I was really worried if I was making the right choice. Happy to hear others feel the same way I do about the cribs.
Lol I like how honest she is!
Crib works wonderfully for me started from day one til now my son is 8 months old. Buy a crib that can be lowered and changed into toddler bed. The front rail can be changed with open rail when he becomes toddler. :)
I agree on the pack and play though. We put the pack and play in the living room for him to play and nap.
1. Oh I love my bottle warmer!
2. Tip for the leftover diaper genie refills: open the package, pull it out a little over a foot, cut it, tie a knot on one side, and use them as travel smelly diaper bags!
Susan McWhirter I LOVE my bottle warmer as well!
I also love my bottle warmer !!
I absolutely 100% agree that the bottle warmer was my go to item. Especially in the middle of the night feedings. Still using it at 18mos
Which bottle warmer did you use? I can’t decide!
FTM here during quarantine - I’ve been working on paring down my registry to serve as a minimalist shopping list for myself now that the world is turned upside down. I don’t have any expectation of a shower, virtual or otherwise, especially while so many are facing financial hardships. Thank you for making this video because it has been extremely helpful and it’s validating what I’m trying to convince myself of - I don’t need all the fancy gadgets to bring the baby home.
Na.Itlitzabete
Love the crockpot suggestion
Na.Itlitzabete Same, same. Due in 5 weeks and I was going to do a virtual shower, but at this point I just wanna buy what I need & call it a day. People aren’t as reliable as they seem especially during a crisis lol good luck to you!!
This is me too! I have been lucky and gotten some big things for free (crib, bassinet, my nephews old clothes). Trying to be minimal on what I need to purchase because there won’t be a normal shower...I am trying to do a virtual one but we shall see how that goes lol. Good luck to you!
Thank you! It is wonderful to hear what stuff I can confidently refuse to buy, unless baby seems to actually need it. I want to do a small pack n' play, and have got a lot of flack about not wanting a crib. A pack n' play can even mean baby feels at home at hotels when we military move.
This is one of the most honest video's I've watched, a lot of videos show items that are nice to have but very expensive! My daughter hated swaddles, luckily I only had one from my sister to try out. I was lucky my daughter took easily to the bottles that my sister gave me so I did not have to try out any new brands.
Yep
My large coffee mug has been repurposed as the bottle warmer cup lol.

love this video! I’m almost 23 weeks pregnant & this was so helpful. thank you! 💛
Youre a week ahead of me 🥰❤
OMG! This was so awesome! You said so many things that I was actually thinking and basically confirmed that I’m not crazy for thinking on the minimal side!Thank so much! LOL
Finally, a video that's honest and informative! Thanks for not trying to push anyone into buying a product. 👌
I usually don’t finish watching people video all the way but your video I love them lol
I totally know what you mean lol! That is a huge compliment, thank you!!!
Thanks so much for this video! As a first time mommy I’m trying to figure out what not to waste my money on.. so now I’m thinking about if I should even get a wipe warmer... and the bottles I want 🙄. But the crib we still definitely buying only bc once my baby gets bigger I won’t have to be buying no bed for them bc it’s a 6 in 1 and not to expensive maybe almost 250$ but I’m so glad my father and law got the crib as a excited first time grandpa!
Im an expecting mum and have been waiting to finding a video just like this so THANK YOU!
This was AMAZING! Thank you so much! I am a late blooming first time soon-to-be mom in a pandemic and I haven't gotten all the onslaught of advice that i would have in a normal world. THANK YOU! =)
I love watching you! I appreciate the no nonsense approach!
Thank you!! And it’s the only way I know to be! Bites me in the ass sometimes working in corporate America lol
Mai Zimmy Lol I know how that can be!
You've gotten some good points, but the thing that everyone needs to remember is that you know yourself best, and keep that in mind when thinking about what to buy and what not to buy. I listened to dozens of videos like these before my first was born, and ended up getting frustrated for listening to everyone's advice without taking my own personality into consideration. I bought all the zipper sleepers, and hated them. The zipper would buckle up and look nasty and I thought they were uncomfortable when cuddling with baby. Also, my pumpkin had chubby little legs, and most zippered ones are slightly smaller around on the leg with the zipper so I could barely even zipper them up unless she was swallowed up in one that was way to big for her. Also, if you really think you'll want some cute little outfits and shoes, buy one or two just so you have them on hand should you want them. I was given a diaper genie and absolutely loved it! I used it hard for 2 years, and never had any trouble with it. If your baby is born in the cooler months, just set up your diaper changing station close to a vent, and store your wet wipes on or beside it. We were very happy we went with a crib, especially since we got one that converted to a toddler bed and she ended up hating her pack and play.
Agreed with the crib & the wipes warmer, pack n plays are amazing.
If you live in a place that does weekly diaper pickups the diaper genie is amazing for that.
I love that some of the frustration is so tangible in this video. Yaaas queen.😂😂💖💖✊🏽
I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant with my first.
I'm happy to say that after watching this video and your must-haves video, I appear to be on the right track. I had already registered for many of the things you mentioned in the other video, and agree with you on this video as well. Including the crib. Our baby will be sleeping in a bassinet for as long as possible and once she is able to move about, we're going with a Montessori floor bed by Sprout. Cribs just seem like a horrible option all around.
YES‼️ the only thing that worked for us was the wipe warmer during night changes bc it made it so easy to change her while she was still asleep! And to keep them wet I added a little water to the bottom.
This was a great video and im glad you saved the crib advice for last if nothing else it was pretty funny!
Omg finally, I’m 20 weeks pregnant with my first baby boy and I’m completing my baby registry. I’ve been watching hours of baby essentials videos and this is the first time I watch the whole video without thinking “this is a bunch of BS” and “is this woman out of her mind telling me is ok to spend $300 on something the baby is going to use for 2 months”. This is the kind of video I want to watch, you just won a follower . ❤
My best advice is to obtain the absolute essentials and save money for items that you need as you go (you will discover what style of clothes work best for your baby, etc).
I saw a lot of people regretting a wipe warmer and i didn't think I'd need one but then I realized it would be great for our family and bought one at Target... Turns out to be a fantastic purchase for us. 🍼
Mom of 4 with 5 almost here..I love this video. Going to showers kills me because of all these things they get and dont need...You hit the nail on the head! So true about newborn clothes...My 1 1/2 year old is still in a pack and play and he loves it. At 2 they go in a toddler bed type thing. I literally have normal blankets for swaddling, a basket of essential clothes that I know I'll use, generic diapers / wipes, 2-4 good bottles as needed, bassinet for early on and pack and play for the next step. Thats it! GREAT VIDEO!! I hope new moms watch this and listen!!!!!!!!
Preemie moms/winter baby moms, I would say get the wipe warmer! You can find it cheaper secondhand. The instructions for the munchkin warmer calls for you to pour 1/4 cup of water over the wipes once you fill it, to stop the wipes from drying out. Never really had an issue with dry wipes doing this. Its worth it to me, I saved mine for baby #2, but everyone is different.
Also, in the NICU, our son’s nurses took baby temps throughout the day with an old school thermometer, but used it under their armpit. The temps have to be accurate because these fragile babies are usually in an incubator and cant retain body heat. So that is the method we used. I love your video!! So realistic and helpful!!
And agreed about the crib! Never needed one and dont plan on buying one for the second baby. Pack n play is a must!
Very true...totally agree. I wish I got one earlier because I had a preemie baby born during winter. My little guy hated diaper changes.
I had a winter baby, and loved my wipe warmer! I also never had any problems with the wipes drying out, because, like you said, you are supposed to put alittle bit of water in the warmer.
Great advice! We got a crib second hand for really cheap with the goal of it expanding into a real bed eventually. But you're very right at the beggining you only need a bassinet since you will want baby by you anyways.
Thank you for this video! First time mom here and I don't want to waste anyone's money on my registry. Btw you look stunning! That hair is goals!!!💕
Loved ur tips! Im a first time mom and we live in a smaller size home, so ur tips were so helpful!
i’m so nervous about being a first time mom and this helped so much! thank you!
Congrats!! Happy to help ☺️
You’ll do great! As long as you take it a day at a time and do everything to keep the baby healthy and safe, (and later on happy within boundaries), then you’re going to be an amazing mom.
Same here a bit anxious about being a first time mum but you just saved me a lot of money. Now I can use your video to convince the hubby about the crib, I just never liked them period. It never even crossed my mind that they could be dangerous as well. Thank you so much for this. All the way from South Africa.
Breathe! You got this no mom is trained! We were or all at one point new.
Labor. Breathe and relax remember to relax your jaw :)

This is the first video I've watched on this channel, and I'm instantly hooked 😁
Quite possibly the REALEST video I’ve ever seen. I’m 20 weeks with my 3rd and you nailed it! Except for the crib lol I didn’t have any issues with my kids in their cribs. So like you said they’re all
Diff.
I have some products I regret buying and some I thought I’d regret as it wasn’t the right time with my son but that’s the whole magical point of your first baby, you get to do all the exciting buying.
Your dramatic crib story is too funny :))
I'm due with my 3rd, and this list is so spot on. I never used a crib. Always used a bassinet and then a playpen. I just used regular muslin swaddle blankets because you can use them a variety of ways
Thanks for sharing. It's hard not to get caught up preparing for a newborn, knowing your really unsure in the first place, n being financially restricted. Esp buying cute lil outfits, I'm sure it's exciting and fun, but easily becomes wasted money if shopping for the cuteness of the experience as opposed to what's practically going to be needed. Again, great vid, thanks
I loved this video, the first I’ve seen in a long time that doesn’t seem paid for by a brand, very honest and realistic!
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried to get sponsors from brands I truly like. But no one wants to sponsor me cause I think I’m too honest 😆 and they always have stipulations like “you can’t mention XYZ competitor or their products” and I’m not willing to withhold information or products I think are good just for a sponsor.
Mai Zimmy huge respect! I think no one should hold back from sponsors, absolutely but I feel like you wouldn’t say that a $300 baby lounger or automated swing is an essential, you’d be honest and I really like that!
I'm a second time mom and everything she listed on this video was on my not to get list this time around as well... FTM mom's over do it due to excitement but honestly I wasted shit load of money buying those products!
THIS!!! @11:31 I love it! I love this lady. I didn't buy half this stuff. My BG has a bassinet and I certainly water to warm up her bottle (the gifted bottle warmer is horrible. I always miss the mark). She also HATES swaddles and so on a colder night I put socks and a onsie on under her PJs.
I just try to keep it simple. It helps me to cope and BG is happy.
Wonderful advice, I’m pregnant with my 3rd child. Totally agree with everything your saying. My first two kids where so different I had different stuff for both. Ladies save your money and read lots of reviews.
I actually dress my son every day and always have . I don’t stay in my pjs all day so neither does he ! We don’t use shoes (not yet) but socks are an absolute must for us ! So I highly recommend socks for parents who want to dress their babies . We loved our bottle warmer when my son was fresh out of the nicu . It has a timer so you just choose the amount of time you use it for . We use the under the arm thermometer as that’s what is closest to rectum thermometer and what was recommended by my son ! We love our hooded towels and I wish we had more ! We absolutely needed our crib . My son didn’t sleep in the basinet and has slept in his crib from day 1 . Mesh bumpers aren’t safe for infant sleep (neither is crib rail covers) . Our crib also transitions into a bed . Just different opinion! Thanks for sharing yours ! :)
We got a crib that transitions to a bed too!
I love this! Nothing is one size fits all. I’ve changed my registry so much and because I had to postpone my shower till after baby, I had everything I needed for baby before he came then the rest of everything on my registry I’ll get at the shower. I haven’t had to buy anything. I have my dream nursery and I change my registry based on how mommyings been going but I swear I have the best registry
I as a baby also slept in my crib day one. My son sleeps in my room we are going to work in that crib after he’s six weeks. And yes those bumpers and mesh stuff is basically illegal in the mom world and super unsafe
Update : hes 9 months and we have just started using shoes as he is starting to walk ! He is in a size 3 and looks adorable in them . We only use them while outside though just so he doesn’t step on anything . So shoes are not needed for newborns but once your child starts walking you will most likely need them !
THIS^^^^ yes! Yes!!! and YESSS!!! 😋
The wipe warmer is useful during winter when wipes get super cold. Especially the super moist ones like pampers and water wipes
I guess living in Texas I don’t know that struggle as a mom! But I’m from Minnesota so I can totally see how that would be an issue
My daughter screamed bloody murder when a cold wipe touched her bum. The warmer was a life saver for us. I didn’t think I would need one and thankfully got a used one from my sister. They may not be useful for all babies, obviously.
Actually, water wipes should not go into the warmer as they can grow mold
A K I’ve used them everyday for over a year and that has never happened. May depend on how long you keep them in the warmer though.
The mold depends on the type of wipe warmer too.
Thank you for the honesty ❤️..showed my girl, she has taken note
So glad I found you! I have twin grand baby’s coming early next year, and this info is so helpful... thank you!
We were givin out wipe warmer as a babyshower gift and we love iy for our little man..i saw a trick on facebook of putting a tablespoon of water in the bottom before putting the wipes in and ive never had an issue with the wipes drying out
The most accurate video ever!!!
Fantastic video for any first-time mom like myself. I was literary taking notes lol LOVE your channel!
I loved this video. Am a first time mom to be who works as an expat n changes country every 3 years. Watching videos of baby essentials and wanting all for my first baby , I was struggling with balancing it with frequent traveller needs. Crib and stroller tips were really eye opening. Thank you
Holy cow, my twins never had that many issues with the crib. Slept in them from day one until they were 2.
Yes yes yes. I love it. We planned on skipping the crib, (couldn’t afford it anyways)and use a twin mattress on the floor instead. It’s wonderful! It’s a Montessori idea I think.
Same. No crib, just a full grown-up size mattress on the floor. I was breast-feeding as well and managed to do the night feeds lying down, so I could easily lie down next to the baby and then roll off when he had fallen asleep again. Minimal fuss!
I just discovered your channel...you're amazing!!! I'm 6 months pregnant and benefitting so much from your videos!❤
im so glad to find your video after overwhelmed bout all baby haul videos in my country. thankyou
