but can we just appreciate that she said 'talk to your pediatrician, I am just someone on the internet'? like, we stan someone who doesn't disregard medical degrees!
True! Specifically because giving your baby any type of tea can be VERY dangerous ⚠️⛔️
I’m pregnant with my first and I am watching SO many videos to prepare myself 😩🤣
That’s the beauty of the pregnancy 🤰 all moms should enjoy being pregnant and this prep is a part of it! 😄
You really dont need much babe. The baby warmers and things like that... The convenience products.... Ended up being a waste of money. I did Everything basically hands on. I'm an old school mum so I guess I don't mind sucking snott and spitting it our if it means my baby can breathe. I bought both expresses... For boobies Milk. It was OK. I suppose.... The machines are helpful when you're tired. Hwoeveer I exclusively breast fed till 8 months... I reckon buy as you go babe. Diapers. Every baby is different. I don't use Huggies as they five my baby rashes. I use baby love or mamia from aldi... Hope that helps :)
@@aneelakhan3592 how
😄 by shopping and browsing baby stuff and observing body changes. Look at yourself in the mirror n take selfies. I enjoy all my pregnancies with some complaints too 🙈 I’m expecting my 4th one and still planning how will I setup a nursery all over again since it’s 8 years apart and I have nothing from previous kids haha
I absolutely love babies 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Awhh how's life mumma? Same, I'm actual scared gotta still go to the doctor's I've taken 4 tests and they've all came back positive eeeek and I'm watching everything going crazy, I'm so scared 😭😭 ahhaa
I felt so unprepared when having my baby because I didn’t have most of the things on all the internet lists, but honestly, tiny kiddos don’t need that much. Sometimes it’s better to feel out the relationship and the baby before buying a lot of the stuff for babies.
I’m so sorry that your feeling like that, when I had my first baby I also didn’t had much, so trust me, it is not necessary, your baby needs love more than anything else and I’m sure you will do great! 💛
All you really need is a safe place to sleep, stuff for hygiene/health, diapers/wipes, clothes, a car seat/stroller, and bottles and formula if your not breastfeeding. Everything else are just things that either are really helpful(but not needed), or a big fat waste of money.
I agree!
I definitely regret a lot of things that were purchased. So much wasted money by myself and family, which is unfortunate. Never used his bassinet, crib, or his swing much. The only thing we really needed was his pack and play that came with a bouncer that he pretty much lived in for the first 9 months of life lol
I totally feel you!! The amount of money that got wasted with our first, I've definitely been more picky this time. But I understand the pressure you feel.. People make it sound like you can't live without certain items
I didn’t buy a diaper bag... I ended up using a horrible purse my husband gifted to me in Christmas 2015 and it’s all good... He even got emotional because I told him that I was saving it brand new to carry our baby stuff when In reality I hated it 😂
If you’re giving birth to Kate moss 😂😂😂😂😂 I recently found your channel and you’re so much fun!
Hahaha omg that’s a great way to flip a negative into a positive!! I’m happy you’ve found me!! 💗✨
🤣
Yes! I don’t understand the baby bag thing. I have a ton of useful backpacks and totes so…why do I need to get a new diaper bag? Thanks for the sharing!
I love that you don't just share what you regret but you give us an alternative that DID work, thank you!
“What’s that?”
“👁👅👁”
“Oh yeah that thing sucked.”
I laughed SO HARD! 😂😂
😂
that made me subscribe
Thoroughly enjoyed! I adore the honesty you offered when it comes to pricing vs aesthetic. As a newish mom I purchased based on looks but soon learn that babies grow fast and more than likely you use items twice. So, thank you girlee!
I clicked on this video just expecting to get more informed on the cons of products but I LOVE that you took the time to say why you didnt like it and offer a better options! Thank you so much!!
Brb. Going to update our baby registry. 😅
what is baby registry and whats benefits
Its like a babyshop basically (i live in south africa and our places like Baby City or Babier R ua etc) have registeries i know places like walmart and target also have and Amazon.... But its a list you create basically for your babyshower and then you have a code with thay code people can log on see what you want and go and buy what you want for your baby and if you for example has a Set Nuk bottels on the list and someine buys that the item gets removed from the list so people dont buy double unless you marked you want 2 items
Exactly!!! Lol
🤣🤣Forreal def time to update lol
@@desimomlife It’s like a baby wishlist, and friends and family can buy baby shower gifts off of It and it removes it so you don’t get doubles.
Literally updated my baby registry as I was watching this! Thanks for all the helpful tips, Brittany! 💗
I appreciate how you mentioned the pros and cons of the different items. I also like how you put the alternatives that you like better.
This was so helpful thank you
As a soon to be mama again after 6yrs , I appreciate this video so much😭 so much has changed since my first!
Why are you the coolest mom ever? Seriously I love the vibes!!
aww thank you!!
Brittany Balyn das Video ist so schön 😀😀😀😇😇😇
agreed!
@@brittanybalyn ñjnjlhjjj Jung in bbl jining inning jknoh lnnnlnn non joll
Not ever. My mom is the coolest mom before her since I’m 40 now. 🤪
I love how you give alternatives! Super helpful
You are by far one of my fav people I’ve stumbled upon on RUclips... I’m 10 weeks pregnant with my first and you are just so real and open and positive and I just really needed your energy❤️
So glad I found your channel!!! I’m getting induced 10 days! And I was soooo desperately looking for a mom who’s modern, and young, but still very responsible and a good mother, to get tips from!! Thank you!!
I LOVE the oogiebear & haven’t used the nosefrida once (baby is almost 9 mos old). It never ceases to amaze me how ppl can have such differing opinions. But it doesn’t surprise me because not only are parents different (have different preferences, etc), but babies are different too! I love when parents say “oh this worked on my first, but not me second.” It’s so crazy
I think it is very good that you make these videos, it helps to see the experience of other moms, I'm not even pregnant yet but I will consider your advice for when I become a mom 💛💛
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching your vids and hearing genuine and unsponsored perspectives! Thank you!
Girl! Thank the lord you posted this... I’ve been having such a hard time registering for items! 😊
Ooooh baby girl is just so darn cute!!! Loved this video! My baby won’t be here until October but I’ve been binge watching your videos, all very helpful🤗
I’m planning to raise our baby the good old minimalist way while my partner is fussing over whether or not the baby gets the best support and nuture. All of those things you listed on the list is basically in our registry right now. I’ll make sure my partner watch this video 😂
Thank you very much! ❤️
Wow this just really comes to show how every mom and baby is so different!! I love and couldn’t live without many of the things you mentioned but I do agree with you on the changing mat and pillow!
I am loving these videos! I’ve watch all of your pregnancy/postpartum videos so far and they are extremely helpful!
I just love the whole Breast feeding in videos , you make it look so easy
I’m due first week of February and your videos have been a lifesaver!! Love hearing all of your baby tips 🤍
That's the best birthday month (I might be biased, I'm Feb 27th)! Congratulations!!
I love how honest you are about using certain products for aesthetic lol
Omg yes to everything!!! 🙌🏽 especially the baby blankets I have enough for her whole life!
You’re the cutest 💖
Hi ilysm
The mittens may depend on your baby. Mine scratches her face ALL the time, from birth. I had to send my husband to get a nail file while I was in the hospital! I constantly keep her hands covered to keep her sweet face clear of scratches. Those clothes with sleeve work best, but socks also work really well. Also, I constantly have my baby in socks - her feet get soooo cold. Baby shoes, however, are pretty pointless.
I’m 12 and not going to need to know this for like 20 years but it’s Brittany so I’m gonna watch it!! 💙💙
20 years, yes, keep thinking that way. 👏 👏 👏
every time i watch your videos i get that cool mom vibe!!! gorgeous!!
Omg I love you! You said it best! I agree with all of your regrets! I have a 13 month old and I by far didn’t use these things or used the options you mentioned instead. Huggies are the best & camomile over gripe or gas drops was such a better and natural option. Love you! keep the baby videos coming!
I absolutely LOVE my bottle warmer. I use it all day everyday.. it warms the bottle so fast, even with my milk in it...
Putting the bottle in the cup does not heat it up nearly fast enough especially when my milk has to come out of the fridge.
Other than that, totally agree!
Had the same thought. It gets thr milk to the right temp for the 👶. I use Dr Browns warmer., it's been great.
I love my bottle warmer too! Use it every day , my husband and mom use it to warm my expressed breast milk to feed baby while I sleep.
When baby's awake and crying for milk in the middle of the night, you don't wanna wait 10 or more minutes for that bottle to warm up in a mug. I LOVE my bottle warmer that heats up the bottle in less than 2 minutes. Way less crying for baby and less stress for mama.
Almost 14 weeks pregnant and first time momma! I started watching your videos when my husband and I were trying to conceive back in May and have been addicted ever since!! Please do the baby must haves video next!!
I know right!! I’m with you!!
I’ve have three babies and with my most recent one (June 2020) I finally decided to try Boppy and I like it! It’s so versatile and I love the cute covers!
This was the most helpful video I've watched so far! Made so many changes to my registry after doing some research. Thank you!
I love seeing your videos every week! I had my baby just a couple weeks after you had Arrow and I started watching them after I got stuck at home from the virus. Its so awesome to see her grow and see you go through some of the same first time mom struggles. Keep it up momma! Your an inspiration
Watching your videos give me so much hope that I’ll be able to be a parent. First time mom here, 31 weeks pregnant, and feeling overwhelmed. I know there have to be hiccups, but seriously you help ease my anxiety so much with your positivity! Thanks mama!
You totally got this!! I had NEVER held a baby or changed a diaper before Arrow!
Ryane Williams I am 34 weeks pregnant, feeling very overwhelmed myself and scared - these videos are really helpful!
I totally agree with Brittany. Before my 1st, my husband and I had never even changed a diaper. You will find your groove and what works for you two. Just remember, you are not alone. We are all here to support one another.
Nancy Silver Thank you so much, really means a lot. It’s been a really tough pregnancy to say the least, just counting down the days till I get to meet my baby now.
TRUTH! I totally agree with everything you say! Having my 2nd now after a 5 year hiatus and definitely super helpful to be reminded of what NOT TO DO! Thank you!
Been waiting for this video. Please do a baby must haves too x
I love the diaper changer Mat! I use my diaper bag as a purse too so if hubby wants to change the beeb he can take the mat and have everything is with it and doesn’t have to take the whole bag
Exactly!!!! I LOVE my skiphop changing mat... It buy it for every person I know having a baby. Who wants to carry their whole diaper bag everywhere they go? And like you said, than your partner can just take the little diaper changer instead of taking your whole bag to the restroom. Especially because kids are in diapers well past the age of being diaper bag dependant, so sometimes you just bring the little diaper changer into the store with you for a quick run, or to the neighbor's house and don't need to lug the whole bag!
We used the nose frida until my daughter was old enough to recognize it and started freaking out because she anticipated what was about to happen. Then the Oogiebear entered the chat.
Agreed! Oogiebear is fantastic. A must have
Omg the last shot where she is staring at the camera!!!! So cute 😭
Yes the Love to Dream swaddle is amazing~ literally a godsend for us when my daughter was so tiny! Only thing she would sleep in
Omg it’s so true about the baby blankets honestly everyone at my baby shower got me a baby blanket 😩
Girl that Love To Dream swaddle SAVED MY LIFE 😂💕
I’ve been wanting to get a knotted gown specifically for baby’s arrival, but I’m all for ease of use, so I’m glad I saw this before I ordered!!!
You're so gorgeous! I hope I bounce back like you after I have my baby in December. But I can't wait for my baby to be here!!!! I love watching your journey and your little one!
I'm due in 4 weeks so this video was super helpful thank you!
We've brought a cheap(ish) tablet to go with the nanit to use it as a screen monitor ♡hope this helps
Completely agree with the mittens and socks. They always fall off and get lost. I’m currently pregnant with my 4th and I’m due the day before Halloween 🎃 I’ve just been buying baby girl the zip up footie jammies with fold over mittens since it’ll be cold out. Life savers 🙌🏼
ah yes those are the best!!
My favorite footie onesies are Kyte Baby & Magnetic Me
I’m due on the same day 😂
Yeah mittens and socks suck! However, I was gifted one pair of Velcro booties that have been used a ton since he can’t kick them off!
I love the zutano booties! Baby socks just get lost.
My son LOVES the Halo sleep sack! Like you said no baby is the same, but for me, it's a lifesaver.
Thank you for showing replacements and going into detail about what you like and don’t like and why!
Hey Brittany, we use one of our old tablets for the baby monitor since we ran into the same issue with always being on our phones while the baby slept. It works great. :)
I was going to mention. I use my iPad.
Also @brittanybalyn a lot of apps also have a functional website so you could open it on your Mac
Agreed! I also plan on using my iPad as a monitor, though you could also use an old tablet, laptop, or even an amazon show instead of your phone. Just wondering if that was the ONLY reason you regret your Nanit baby camera? My husband likes the idea of the nanit, but I don’t love the price. Do you possibly have another video where you reviewed the nanit?
Im having baby #2 in may after 15 years so I LOVE these reviews
I am having baby number 2 , my daughter is 8 and i need to review !! I feel like its been forever since i had a newborn
Omg, she so chill!!! I wish I have a happy and chill angle like that🥰🥰
This video was perfect! Very concise and does not lose the viewers attention. Thank you!
It’s recommended in colder countries to have socks for your baby. In my country you have to use socks as well as footed body suits or booties
I love you and I think you’re an amazing mom!
Awww 🥺💗 thank you
This video...THANK YOU for getting straight to the point! I appreciate the efficient reviews!!!
Every mom & every baby is so different.
Even though I have experience. I love watching everyone else’s takes!
Please at least try the Babybjorn bouncer! At 3 months my daughter was obsessed! Now she bounces herself (which is amazing motor skills its designed for!) and i can bring everywhere around the house or to grandmas house, park etc! Also they can use until they are about 2 years old!!!! Ugh love
If you have an old phone you’re not using, use it as a baby “monitor!” We were given a Nest camera, but preferred to have a separate device for our monitor and this has worked well for us. We put a popsocket on the back to use as a stand and the old phone just connects to the Nest via wifi et voila!
I’m due in May and so glad to watch videos like these for research thanks for sharing
Thank you! I'm preggo with my first. Definitely don't want to spend money on unnecessary gadgets. Thanks for all the advice!
I died laughing when you mentioned the baby blankets 🤣 you are so right.. we have stacks of baby blankets that everyone bought or made for our little one. So many we haven't even had a chance to use them all and she's 2 now!
One thing I regretted doing for my first 3 kids... Buying way too many baby clothes!! Now I just have 6 outfits/onesies and 6 singlets. PLENTY!! lol
You must have some how had a baby that didn't explode shit or pee or spit up on all their clothes
The baby wiggling at the end was so cute.
The boppy isn't just for breastfeeding though. I'm not feeding that way but have always worked daycare and nannied and we use the boppy for support for tummy time, sitting up, for me when i get a back massage so i can put my face through it at home. It's really multifunctional and a great cost! And you'll use it for like 2 years.
More of a PSA: The BabyBjörn is fine for the spine and hips, especially in the lowest position. My baby sat in it from around 5 weeks (basically once his head was fairly stable). I'm not sure about the Graco swing. But that's just a thing to be aware of.
I also personally prefer it because my baby will eventually learn to bounce himself instead of relying on the mechanism.
Also, you can get them used for way less than 200 dollars and you can resell it for as much as you bought it for if it's in an acceptable condition :)
I'm due in 18 days, and your videos are incredibly helpful! I've gotten a lot of things you've recommended in the past, so this video is great. Thank you!
I've also gotten a ton of ppl telling me that socks don't work when they're that little, so I plan on getting the velcro booties to keep her tiny feet warm on colder days. Hopefully those work!
Congratulations!!!!!
My son is three months old and I have had zero issues with socks. 🤷♀️
@@countdowntovan8663 every baby is different 🙂
What a cutie!! I agree with you about bouncers/ swings etc. It’s so hard to know what they will like, my daughter practically lived in the swing and wouldn’t tolerate a bouncer. I was lucky to be able to borrow these items and try them without forking out the money
she is growing so fast! such a beautiful baby
The fawn diaper bag was the gift to myself and I love that it’s big! I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth. My mom also loves it so trips to Gigi’s will keep her stylish too! I don’t pack light so I’m still happy with the purchase lol
I love my Fawn as well! I've had it for 2 1/2 years and will be using for baby #4! She could've gotten the smaller one if she thought it was too big 🤷♀️
Omg yes honest also made my babys get the worst rash!
See buggies is a big no no brand in Australia as a lot of babies get bad rashes from them like news worthy unfortunately... thank you nappies are some of my favourite and water wipes for babie wipes 👌
There's a small book titled "30 Days to Stop Being a Shopaholic" by Harper Daniels, that's popular. I recommend it.
They smelled so nasty to me! I switched to hello bello and so much better!
My babe got rashes from honest diapers too...not as bad as Pampers pure which were obcs toxic garbage, but still rashes. Bamboo nature brand has been reliablly pure and has never given her a rash, horray!
My daughter does great with Honest. Every kid is different
This really helped me! Especially the baby monitor, now I can feel good buying the cheaper one! Thank you!!
I remember as a teen watching your videos where youd make a video about coloring your hair a crazy color, go get a piercing and outfit ideas! And to basically being a mom, and im a mom too.. i love it 🥺❤️
Awww 🥺💕 and I would still totally go get a piercing. Miss my septum, but that thing neverrrrr healed!
I just had this conversation with my mom. Baby shoes and socks are such a waist of money! Zipper pjs are where it's at! 😂😂😂
Now yes but 2 years ago they weren't 😄 I always had my newborn dressed in outfits and shoes. I wanted to and she didn't mind. It was fun and cute 😂
"Unless you're giving birth to Kate Moss" 🤣
I’m 19 & 5 months pregnant with TWINSS, I’m literally watching so many videos to prepare myself 😩 im literally so nervous and overwhelmed and excited at the same time
I love the bottle warmer it's so much easier than heating water then waiting for it in a cup.
The skip hop travel changing mat and honest diapers are some of my #1 baby essentials. Funny how things work differently for every baby!
Do they have the color changing line? Or do you not care for that. I also like the skip hop travel changing mat
msheepyhead Yep! And the boppy was my ride or die. Hated the My Brest Friend.
Honest diapers are my favorite! #1 for me
J they don’t have the color changing line but I personally don’t think it’s necessary. Cool feature for sure but once you get used to it, you can feel when your baby has a wet diaper.
pooh bear My daughter leaks out of any other brand so honest are a must for us!
Such a gorgeous baby 💗
I just discovered you on here and Im about to be a FTM. I love your videos because they are short and to the point not 30-40 minutes long. I dont have time for that! Now subscribed!
Im a mom to be and this video was very helpful you didnt talk too much you explained perfectly, definitely got a new subscriber!!❤️
I'm someone that hates clutter. When I was trying to organize my son's closet I counted every baby blanket/recieving blanket that we have for him... 27 blankets. 98% were gifted to us. Now I'm pregnant with our second boy and I'm trying to gently let people know we don't want any blankets but my husband's grandma is like 'well he needs his OWN blankets. I'm not missing out on making a great grand baby blanket!' Smh
The boppy is great when a baby want to sit and can hold there bottle themselves. Love that you just breast feed on camera and kept going. Mommy multi tasker
I agree with pretty much all of what you mentioned! Except the fawn diaper bag! But I’m a notorious over packer so that has transcended into my diaper bag packing I’m sure!!! Also she is the sweetest and you are the cutest!😍❤️
You are the COOLEST. How am I just finding you now girl!!! also, Mom goals.
I loved the love to dream swaddles. I had him using the original one first then in the transitional ones up until he was 4 months. Now he's just in normal wearable blankets that coat way less
Literally same on all these things. The love to dream swaddle is the b e s t
When baby looked at the camera.. my heart melted!
You're literally the best mom ever(also you are very pretty). 💖
Omg, yes I hate the boppy pillow!
U definitely have all the Pisces ♓️ vibes 💕
Oh my goodness, we LOVED the knotted gowns and my baby lived in them for the entire first month! I agree with the other items though.
Love starting my Monday with you! I had the tie knot gowns in my registry, just took them off as per your recommendation 🥰
I know some people love them, but the open gowns have the same effect but are SO much easier to put on!
My favorites are the open gowns that are fully buttoned (you only need to deal with the buttons once, you don't have to pull over their head, but you still have the easy diaper access you would with a knotted gown)!
Brittany Balyn definitely getting the open gowns instead! Thank you 👏🏻
The corners of onesies and most pjs have the fold down corners on the neck so you can pull things up for dressing instead of over the head.
OMG I am due in 6 days and I’ve watched hundreds of RUclips videos, this was by far the most honest and helpful!!! I loved every moment, thanks for your honesty, you definitely just saved this first time mama some money 😩💙
My breast friend is wonderful, my lactation nurse told me about it and I love my gathre mat .
If you are looking for a great baby bag I recommend the Itzy Ritzy bag.
Hi 👋🏽 21 weeks into my first pregnancy and I thought this video was super helpful! Thanks!
You may end up liking the boppy pillow in the future. I use mine behind my daughter when she was learning how to sit up. It kept her from hitting her head when she fell backwards. Later she used it when she watched TV.
