You're 100% right on every point. When I got pregnant back in 1986 the first thing my mother and older sister both said was "Keep sound and light levels as they've always been. Don't turn things down and don't close curtains that are usually open".
Mom of 9 children here and I agree 100% on every single one of these things!
Number one, god bless you with 9 kids. And you are absolutely correct.
😳 wow, nine kids 👏👏
God Bless You mom of 9. ❤
Burp cloths are SOOOO necessary. You want one on your shoulder when you burp the baby or someone else has the baby in their shoulder because everyone has hair on their shoulders and you don't want baby putting their face on that. Also when the baby spits up you can use the burp cloths to wipe it up or wipe the baby's face. Also I buy a pack of white cloth diapers and get them monogrammed as gifts. So cute.
We used baby soap with my oldest who's turning 20 this year and washed all of his stuff separately due to him having eczema. We were fine using purex with my 2nd, just turned 16, and back to baby soaps with my youngest because she also has eczema. I have extremely sensitive skin with an allergy to my kids, I'm finally able to use gain regularly for everyone.
Change table has it's uses. Everything is centralized and not all over the house. They poop everywhere as you yourself said. There's nothing to stop that from ending up on the furniture or carpet if you're changing everywhere else.
Diaper bags are essential especially for those of us who despise purses. We also don't drive and live up north, it's essential for any travel.
Also, poop stinks!
Showering with your baby is pretty dangerous, even more so when you've said you have had multiple csections where you're not supposed to be lifting much for a while. Not even to mention they're super slippery when wet never mind soapy.
We had a pack and play with each of my kids and if we ever were able to have another baby I've already been looking on amazon and walmart because the baby would be sleeping in the living room during the day, and that's all that will fit in our bedroom for a baby bed. I have 4 teens as is with 3 boys sharing a bedroom and no bunkbeds.
I agree with you 💯%!!! Especially the blackout curtains and keeping things quiet for baby to sleep- life happens in our homes and babies/toddlers need to adjust to that instead of us adjusting for them (though having children is a lifestyle adjustment- the best kind), plus, they heard all that noise while in utero and my belief is the quiet is more disturbing to them then the noise when they come home. My kiddos lived in sleep sacks until they started crawling and then they went to footed rompers until they started the whole standing walking thing, onesies (short and long sleeved) were the standard lightweight clothing they had, yes, they each had specific outfits for special outings or events, but going shopping with them or out to dinner or to friends it was sacks or one piece rompers. I warmed their bottles in a pot of boiling water (took the pot off the burner), I used cloth diapers at home and washcloths that I used warm water to clean butts and had an actual diaper pail for the soiled items (it was cheaper and those 6 dozen diapers/rubber pants were used for 3 babies and passed on to a young friend just starting with their family and yes, disposable diapers were around in the ‘80’s and we did use them for travel though our son was allergic to all disposables so he was the only one we never used them on). I used the same detergent for their clothes as for ours, though I did wash separately because I put their baby clothes through a second rinse until they were about 2 years old and the diapers went through a rinse cycle before I washed them in hot water with bleach and another rinse cycle and all diapers were hung dry before I went to bed each night. No pack’n plays, no tubs as our babies went in the shower with daddy each evening (I would take a soaking bath after they were in bed), no specialty toys, furniture, “things”, a crib, a regular dresser as I changed my babies in whichever room they were in, though I did have a bassinet downstairs for them which was really convenient after c-sections so I didn’t have to go upstairs to lay them down, we had a high chair, baby bouncy chair that I would put on a counter or dining table close to where I was working at and a swing and a bouncy swing, no walker, no playpen. Oh, we had 2 diaper bags and car seats-!one for each vehicle and the diaper bags had all the basic items plus 2-3 changes of clothes because of spit up and explosions (if you have an infant who has gone through teething ya know what I mean!). And I used clean cloth diapers for burp cloths, my “wipes” were plain white terry face washcloths you can buy in a package of 10. My mantra is buy what you can reuse over and over again when it comes to babies and life in general- it saves time, money and space in our homes.
I work for one of the world’s largest baby product companies…I agree with all but the play yard/pack n play. Some of the cradles on the market are crazy. I love the dressers that’s have changing table trays that can be removed when you’re done.
I used burp rags all day every day and they came in very handy. I also had a diaper genie and I loved it. If you keep it cleaned out, it doesn’t stink. I also used the baby bathtub for probably the first 5 to 6 months and it was very handy. I’ve been a mom for 28 1/2 years so I guess maybe things are different now. Obviously you can do whatever is right for you and your family. I’m excited to meet this little one.❤❤
It’s nice to have a pack and play if you have a two story house.
I found the bottle warmer to be a life saver for night time feedings. I would feed on one side and pump on the other and place the bag in the fridge. Then if they woke up in the middle of the night then their father could wake up to feed them so I could get rest. I did this with my second kid as I was terrified of re-experiencing PPD again.
I think I'd be terrified to hold the baby or little one in the shower. Too slippery. I'd be afraid of dropping them on the hard bathroom floor. 😬
Absolutely! Common sense.
I just had a baby last year and i still regularly use a lot of items you mentioned 😅 i really think it just depends on the individual and their baby’s needs. I feel like you gave good tips on things not to buy before the baby arrives because you may not need them.. but a few months into having a newborn i bought a bottle warmer, darker curtains, baby nail clippers, a baby bath, and a bunch of things you mentioned because we ended up needing them. also some of these items can be pricey if you buy brand new. I highly encourage new moms to buy things gently used from resale stores, marketplace, and yard sales. We furnished our entire nursery with second hand furniture. No regrets. Much love to you cambriea! I look forward to your videos!
I love the cleaning videos, this video is nice too 😊. I agree with most of it. Being from MN, pretty cold like Wisconsin, I don't agree with the hat one. I don't know how true it is, but my German born great grandma would say people's temperatures are regulated through our heads and feet. So giving my babies a hat was important to me. But to each. 😊
I actually used a pack n play.. only because the bedrooms were upstairs, so we had one in the living room... everything else... you're spot on!!
The only one I disagreed with was hats ❤ i definitely felt like covering my baby’s head was important. Great video
Yes! When people say babies are expensive it's because they think they need all this stuff. I also didn't like onesies because when they have a blowout then you have to change everything. I used the kimono style under shirts and loved them.
The only things you need are
Diapers and wipes (disposable or cloth)
Some Clothes (10 outfits are plenty)
A save place for the baby to sleep
A way to feed the baby
Car seat
A blanket you love (for me that is the large muslin blankets - I use these to cover the baby, to lay baby down on, as a nursing cover if I feel to cover, as shade on the stroller, shade in the car, burp cloth- most used baby item for me)
Everything else is optional and depends on your lifestyle
I have to say the snoo was a GAME changer for us but I bought it used and always kept it on lower setting. She has slept through the night since 8 weeks and is 13 months now! She transition to the crib with no problems at six months.
Oh MG I'm so happy I just found your channel again I'm so happy for you and Bobbi I pray that safe delivery
I’m loving our wipe Warmers with #2. But we’ve been struggling with diaper rash with her since she’s started teething and the warm wipes help soothe her raw skin. It’s been helping a lot. And I like it too lol.
Totally agree with these!!! ❤
morning cambriea, on a 3am organize & declutter video binge and up pops a new video from you! happy days. got that second trimester glow!
The only ones I disagree on are the burp cloths (i made my own) and the diaper pail, lol. Our rooms were upstairs in our old house and our diaper pail never really stunk with either of our kids. It only 'stunk' when I was emptying it. I also bought it from someone else so I'm all for second-hand items lol.
My mom gave us a pkg of cloth diapers and they were GREAT burp cloths! We used disposable diapers
Iv been sick, so I didn't know you were going to have a baby. CONGRATULATIONS..
Aw I hope your doing better. That’s no fun. Also thank you 🙏
Hi, Cambriea! I always love watching your videos! I hope that you and your family have an awesome day! 😃
Thank you, you too!
Great Video Cambriea Thank You ❤
You are so welcome!
I disagree about the baby bath, most husbands aren’t around to take the baby off you from the shower, I always put the baby bath in the big bath, easy empty, less water til they are old enough for the big bath.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
My son could hit a cup of coffee at 40 yards, lol. Your right.
This is good info thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Cambriea, Oh, you are so right about these items. I'm 68 but can totally agree with you with having my own kids and then having my grandkids in raising. Let me tell you I have changed a lot of diapers and washed a lot of bottles. I also think you learn as you have more kids what you need and what's practical. Great video, as always. Enjoy your day, and I will see you tomorrow❤❤
100% true on all these items
I loved my diaper genie 😂 We didn't have any "specialty" items until our third because we were broke, broke. The diaper genie was the first "specialty" item we got, and I was so excited. I will say they are an unnecessary expense and those little refil bags things are expensive! I also loved our baby bath. Many times, I'd shower when nobody was home to help, so I just sit baby in their tub in the shower with me. Agree with the "baby" soaps, socks, and shoes! All a waste of money!!
Oh I like the idea of putting it in the shower with you. That’s a great idea
I agree, I vacuumed right in their room. My kids can sleep anywhere.
I love it! Although I definitely used the diaper bag and the changing table all the time. I wish someone would have told me not to get a diaper genie, because that thing was a huge waste of money. I got a little garbage can from the dollar tree and just took it out once there was a poopy diaper. So much less stinky!
Wipe warmer, diaper genie lol. Never heard of these things, showing my age.
I only agree on some items. For example, I found a changing table absolutely useful! We are quite different but that’s ok. Funny thing is that I never knew item #1 existed.
We use the changing table with the grandkids. It's easier on the back.
That totally makes sense. I know a lot of these things will be personal preferences and experiences
Thank you for this! I just stopped the pill recently, and my husband and I are looking forward to all things baby 😊
Oh sending all the baby dust ❤
❤I love babies. I’m a mom of 3 grandma of 12.
I do have to say breast fed babies poo doesn't stink, formula fed babies poo does stick.
I have actually heard that. I wonder why that is
I agree with you on some of your list not all ❤
Totally get that definitely personal preferences and experiences
Good video! I used old cloth diapers ( or new ones) for burp rags. I had my daughter 41 years years ago before disposable diapers were a thing. I used the kitchen sink when she was tiny, I never bought a baby bath tub.
Thanks for sharing!!
Love you sooo much and can hardly wait for videos on both channels. I just want to ask if it is that I say it wrong and if maybe there overseas is is pronounced differently than here in south africa, and that is the word especially. It sounds like you say ek-specially or am I just hearing wrong lol. Love you sweetheart and sooooo happy for your pregnancy You look wonderful xxxxxxxxxx
Especially is correct; no on the ekspecially.
Thanks, Cambriea! Great information. It brought me back to when I had my daughter. You are right about these things that people need to know. The manufacturers just want you to spend money on things to help your life. And most are useless. My mom did the same thing with cleaning at night. Sometimes she even changed sheets while we slept. And the lights were on! Great job! Can’t wait to see the new baby! Hugs!🥰🌷💜🤰
❤
I’m a mom of 2, one thing my kids hated was the baby swing, both of them screamed when I put them in it. Mine were summer babies and spent a lot of time in diaper shirts and a diaper of course. Baby onesies weren’t around yet.
Life has been so crazy for me that I haven't been able to watch your channel in months 😭😭😭 but omg congratulations ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back!
I have only ever been able to change babies on my knee. Its perfect for my back. I can keep good control of them and talk to them etc. My mum could never understand how i did it but some of my friends are the same as me......... a pee-pee teepee???????? 😅 i think the pack and play is what i called a playpen and i did use one for times like when i was making up the fire or doing something where i needed to keep them safe (and in the same room) while i did something where they may have got hurt while i was busy.
❤❤❤
Good morning ❤
I've got kids, grandkids and great-grandkids and I couldn't agree with you more on every single point, Cambriea.
I totally agree with you on all that stuff. It is not a need. when I go to baby showers I buy two or three outfits six months and up.
🥰
😊
With my oldest we got over abundance of stuff being the first child. With my second i waited till after the baby shower to decide what i needed then go it myself. I kept everything for him absolutely bare minimum. I knew more then what i needed and what was just clutter. It was easier to store, use all of what i had and easier to just fet rid of when we didn't need it anymore so the clean out was faster.
💞
Good morning 😃
❤❤❤❤
When my daughter had her first she went all out needless to say she learnt next time ❤
❤️👏🏼
Yess, we needed this video, thanks
I never understood why parents are so quiet round the baby sleeping. When I had my son early 90,'s I carried on with the house work etc.
I did use a pack and play in the house when my kidlet was a young toddler. She loved it and would ask to go in because we had certain toys that only lived in it. Things that had balls or things that were self propelled that I would have to constantly be chasing down. Her favorite was this ball popper thing that you put the balls on a twisty slide and when they got to the bottom, they were blown up a tube to the top of the slide. Those went everywhere. Use it in the "pen" and they stayed right where she could reach them.
Oh, and the bottle warmers! Don't freakin' do it! For medical reasons, I had to formula feed. The LAST thing you want is for your baby to be used to getting warm drinks. Sounds nice on paper, but when you have to feed Baby on the go and Baby is refusing to eat because the bottle isn't warmed up is nightmare fuel.
Loved this list. Talking it out was beneficial. Love your down to earth family. You are such an awesome mom. So glad you got your #4 baby
Very informative. ❤
Both my girls absolutely had to wear mittens they would scratch their faces to death ,i also used the socks on their hands 😆
We put socks on their hands too.
I bit my kid's nails too!! Also used a small nail file!! Nothing wrong with that! ❤❤
Mom of 5 and I totally agree!
Our first grandchild we bought most of the no need on your list..😂 but second one we did not....we didnt have those things when i had 3 kids...36yr, 34, and 32.
lol oh I get it. All these things I have bought or received and just learned over time what just isn’t needed
Hi Cambriea makes so much sense I think everything is just commercial now trying to get you to spend money,some items are essential tho.😊
You are verry right
Excellent advice
Great video
Very true we learn as we go along some things there is no need to buy 🥰
Absolutely!!
🧸👍👍🧸
Hello I think a nice pack n play especially when the baby is in the room with u. An a stroller car seat combo an a nice swing or bouncey seat that can move room to room with u. An sleepers an diapers an wipes an I used old cloth diapers for burp rags or receiving blankets. Work good too. An I've always bathed a kid in the kitchen sink till they can sit up on their own than transfer the the tub . ❤an people want all the new technology an most of the time it's just a waste of money or the kid don't like it . ❤🎉😂
Yes I understand he nail clippers thing I've done did that too once . But it's very easy to do their nails.when theyr sleeping. Or feeding especially when they get alittle older an can hold a bottle because they take so little time to clean up. 😂
I used to vacuum an bumo the crib an he would snore. An sleep machines. Y?
Great advice sleep suits and all in ones are the best and comfy for the baby....Changing table is waste money ... Comfy baby is happy baby sometimes the old ways were the best x
So true!
I completely agree with all of these items. So much common sense here. 🥰👍
Great info! Yes, it is so easy to buy very cute clothes, but not necessary. Ur very right on that.
Exactly!!
You so speak the truth. Awesome
Exactly! With baby #1 I had all these things. When baby #2 came it all went bye bye and we were so much happier and so was baby. All the extras had me so stressed out! I also clipped my baby's finger on accident with baby clippers. I cried and cried. I felt like the worst mom in the entire world. From then on I gently bit their nails too if needed.
All great points ❤️👍So many of these weren’t even around when I had my first baby🧐
It's all a waste of money you are so right 😅
Question what about the booger suckers? Which type is the best? Oh also I thought of “boogie wipes” those are a joke. Just use a simple baby wipe. Heck my mom would use her finger and spit to clean us up hahahahaha 😂😂😂
So I never used the suckers other than the blue ball thing I got from the hospital
100% agree!!
Hi cambriea love the video all make sense thank you for sharing god bless you and your family🇨🇦💜💛💚💚💛💛💜🥀🥀👍👍👍👍
Thank you! You too!
Been there done that with a nail clippers after the first time of doing my first babies nails it was always biting afterwards so I’m up there with you with all of that
I agree. I always bit my babies nails. My sister in law always brought her two little ones over and have me do theirs as well. She hated biting them but accidentally snipped one of their fingers trying to clip the nails so I became their biter too, lol.
Mom of 2 and I have no falloupen tubes now so i absolutely know I'm done. But I'm still watching I'm new to your channel and i just love ya. I totally agree with you.
I agree with all that with my first I did a lot of research on what other moms didn’t use and I based my baby registry by that and I agree with everything you said we had a wipe warmer and I hated it and never used it I had mittens giving to me but never used them and hats too the socks we used durning winter but other than that he would kick them off and other one we had swaddles but I left my sons arms out cause he hated them down by his side so he had his arms out of swaddles and slept so much longer at night. Also the be quite when baby is napping is the worse thing you can do. My son can sleep through anything my niece could not cause her mom would have everyone leave the house when she would nap I never understood why she did that.
I could not agree more on the being quiet, baby sleeping idea. Worst thing ever! I purposely would vacuum while baby was sleeping to have them adjust to noise. Noise was never a factor in my babies waking up because they were used to it. TV going, talking and laughing, vacuum sounds, life as normal. They woke when they were done sleeping. I did the same when my hubby was working nights. I told him that waking life still happens even though he is sleeping. Sometimes something would happen during the day like one of the kids may have come running in the house just screaming due to a fall from their bike and when hubby would wake up I would ask if he heard the commotion and he always said, no, I didn’t hear anything. Nothing says don’t come here than going to someone’s house, they open the door, you smile and give a big hello and they say, ssshh, baby is sleeping.
I 💯 agree with you. I also didn’t buy those items for my daughter. Heck at the time I didn’t even know they existed!!🙈Save your money moms, and start an education fund with that money. I am so thankful I did. Great video Cambriea. ❤️
Exactly!!
Sorry, cambriea, the background noise was so annoying, and you jumped from one picture to another, but the video itself was very helpful x
Oh sorry being outside to try and be somewhere less noisy. lol I’m sure you understand my house is kinda a zoo 😂
@@livingwithcambriea a bit like my own then 😆 🤣 xx
Baby yes ma'am. All of the new things and the old ones I did not have but my kids had what they needed and we did fine you know. God bless you and your family 🙏❤️🌹
I think at my age I would love to buy myself a wipes warmer! 🤣. I used cloth diapers with liners for the poo poo in my day. But I agree with you on baby items. I used onesies, gowns with string and many light blankets to toughen them up in S Dak.. Have a good weekend you guys!
This was a get down and get real video nice
Yes! 100% agree. I am a first-time mom, and I have a lot of these and can agree you don't need them. I also don't think the baby needs a lot of toys during the first few months.
Congratulations on your first!
Mom of four here🙋♀️. I agree with everything you have said Cambriea. Most products that are developed and marketed for babies are NOT necessary!! The big corporations just know who the suckers are!! Hahaha!! Me included! I got suckered more than once 😅. Good Luck to all the new Moms❤ Congrats 🎉
LOVED our pack and play for travel and visiting but I breastfed and only needed diapers/wipes and ointment other than that. We traveled VERY light.
So true
Hi Cambriea I agree with everything you said I just threw a blanket down and changed my babies I didn’t have a bunch of stuff burp cloths and onesies was my go to I used these daily. ❤
That is awesome! Thanks for watching!
Only one I disagree with is the burb cloths...I had a puker...those were great. But I used cloth diapers as my burp cloth since they were larger surface area. Pack n play for at home I did have but I see your point about putting baby in the crib or bassinet for sleeping at home.
None of these items existed when my kids were born. I used a wet wash rag to wipe their butts. I’m sad whatever was handy for a burp rag. Mainly a diaper or towel. I put all diapers in the trash then threw the trash away. I didn’t have a changing table either. Useless item. I changed my baby anywhere. Couch, bed, crib.
You should also do a video of the top 20 things you are buying for the new baby that is useful!
Will do, keep an eye out for it on Thursday.
I love this! My kids are 27 and 30 and I agree! Will you guys share an Amazon wish list for baby if we would like to help you celebrate their arrival???
As of right now we do not have an Amazon wish list.
Ah, the voice of reason! Had my son in '79, I bit his nails, he lived in what we call in UK babygro's and his feet didn't touch shoes till his first birthday. Some of these things I've never heard of!❤👍😆
Mom of 6 children. Agree with pretty much all.of these. We also never used a crib our kids co-slept with us until 1.5/2 then went straight to a twin bed. Diaper bags were a must for us with our older 3 but not our younger 3. My older three are extremely close in age there a year apart and my 2nd and 3rd are 11 Mo 7 days apart. So we had lots of stuff especially with 3 under 3. Then we got wise spaced out the other 3 lol. Those baby breeza are also a total waste of money not mentioned on your list.
