It warms my heart so much that you donated your milk via Human milk for human Babies!! I struggled so much with my supply and my son was almost solely fed with donor milk through HM4HB from 3 months on. It gave me such peace to know he was still getting breast milk even if I couldn’t supply it directly. THE MOST AMAZING GIFT WE HAVE EVER RECEIVED!!!
Ugh love this!! ❤️❤️❤️
Same same same! Thank you for the most amazing gift!!🙏🏻 ❤️
Congrats Katie!! Would you mind sharing Katie , how you were able to get the milk supply for your lil one, my best friend is having an issue finding donors here in Fl. ?
@@heyshayla I fully disagree with you on walkers, they have actually been banned by the AAP and they no longer manufacture or sell them in Canada. Also the nose freda is amazing and so much better than the suction balls they give you in the hospital, idk how you can say that something is dumb if you've never even used it
@m0bz0mb39 do you know how mad you are going right now? Holy crap
I have a 1 year old, the biggest thing I realized I didn’t need was all the baby clothes. People bought us many clothes and I myself overbought baby clothes. You really don’t need much! Thanks for the video!
Literally thought the same thing! "Idk what to ask for I don't have a baby!" 🤣🤣
I like knowing what became an essential to mama's compared to what they thought was an essential before baby came around. Thanks Shayla for this video!
Of course! It was fun to make
I find the post can be different with different babies or moms. With my son the baby swing was amazing! With my daughter, it was useless!
@@alyupde9337 I definitely agree. I'm watching all these RUclips videos and every one of them has the mamaroo, the hatch, the owlet, certain breast pumps. which I understand the purpose of each one - all that is already costing over 1k. It is very pricy.
@@sarahsantos9095 you need TOWELS. A towel can do almost anything.
Gave birth 2 weeks ago and I already have a couple of things that I didnt think would be essentials e.g baby bottles I breastfeed so assumed I wouldnt use them but I use the hakka and will bottle feed with whatever I collect whenever I need a small break luckily my baby isnt picky with baby bottles she has used all the diffrent ones we got. I'm so glad I got baby bottles because I wasnt planning on buying any.
37 weeks today. My friends asked me if I wanted their hand me downs and I was like hell yeah. It was the best part. Not having to buy clothes and not having to waste clothes
"You will adapt to what you have and figure out how it works for your family."
Best advice ever!!
Mom of 7, my oldest is 18 and I have to say this video is the best advice I have seen on RUclips. You hit so many "nails on the head" I wish I understood some of these things after my first child.
Just don’t get a second hand car seat. They have expiration dates and you don’t know if it’s been in a wreck
Don’t get a second hand car seat if you don’t know what the history of it is.
I have heard of people using their sister or other close family members.
@@ASMRKay_ that’s fine as long as you truly trust the person who owned in before you
We didn't know about the expiration of car seats and had a second hand one when she was born. The hospital almost didn't let us take her home because of this! It's interesting; my brother lives in Japan where it isn't required to have your infant in a car seat on the way home from the hospital. That may be because of the opposition of public transportation.
@@ASMRKay_ thats fine but what i think the op is saying is don't buy one at a garage sale or grab one someone has set out to the curb. (Yes I have seen people set them along with other stuff out to the curb to give away. It definitely happens). Where I'm from second hand stores do not sell used car seats unless it's part of a stroller combo. Also to my knowledge if your car seat has been in an accident the police are supposed to mark it so that someone doesn't try and sell it.
In Australia if a car seat is in an accident the straps are cut so it can’t be used again ❤ lil peace of mind
This is a pretty good list, most people don’t actually need whatever is advertised to them. What we did use was the pac n play. We used it for when our son outgrew the bassinet but still slept in our room. We use it every time we travel and will use it for our second baby while he’s still in our room.
This was super helpful. I get decision paralysis, especially now that I'm trying to shop for a tiny human whom I haven't even met yet! I just entered the second trimester, so I've been slowly collecting ideas and things from different moms. This video and your Amazon store are a godsend. Thank you!
Very interesting to see what is considered minimalist in the US. (This is not meant ironically) 🤗
Oh wow soooo interesting!! I’d love to see one of these from another country as well!
I was literally thinking the same! 😂 I live in Spain and I love watching videos from all over the world to see what everyone has! But yeah I don’t think this would be considered minimalist in Europe hahaha
I think that is still a spectrum. I'm in the US and about to have 6 kids. I use much less for my babies.
It’s insane how much stuff she has for the baby. I think in Europe we have small apartments and not so much space for all this stuff
@@deebee9120 it always depends. For a person from Japan, typical European possessions probably will look like a lot. We always put our view into comparison to what we see around us. I really hope it does not come across as judgemental. I love watching extreme minimalism even though I know I will never get there. Maybe when I am retired 🙂.
Ugh I'm SO grateful for the kinds of things you cover on your channel! I'm not a mama yet, but my husband and I are going to start trying next year, so I'm researching all my questions now, and you cover EVERYTHING that I could want to know! You're the best.
The pack and play is amazing if you plan on having the baby sleep at grandmas house. Also it does serve as a changing station, and it will also serve as a play thing.
I JUST started my baby registry today so this video came at a PERFECT time !!!
This was awesome! Thanks for updating with what you liked and used!
Thank you!! 19 weeks pregnant and needed this!
My favorite sign is MILK. Cut down on like >80% of fussing because I wasn’t trying to read her mind. She 19 months and still signs for milk in her sleep which helps her to dream nurse, which is AMAZING for my sleep.
The difference between what I asked for with my first baby and my third is crazy. I look back and realize I did NOT need majority of this shit. Baby sign language with my kids has been a huge help!!!
Also absolutely LOVE the Frida baby snot sucker. Absolutely hated the bulbs.
All infant car seats are heavy. Third baby and we are foregoing the infant car seat and going straight to a convertible seat and will baby wear when going into the store. I like the baby K'tan for when they're newborn and lillebaby carrier for when they're a little bit heavier.
This was a really helpful video! Thank you! Only thing I cringe at is the activity centers. In the pediatric therapy world (I'm an OT), we hate those things! But moderation is key...15 minutes or less a day and you're fine! 👍🏻
Oh good! And thank YOU for the info!
Thank you so much, most of the videos or research i’ve been doing I assume is first time moms not a whole lot of WE DID NOT USE THIS. So thanks for perfecting your essentials list! Very helpful for first time moms registry!
This is such a great video. As someone who's already gotten overwhelmed thinking about the amount of stuff I know will be coming into my home, I pared down our registry as much as humanly possible. Baby boy coming mid-late October, CANNOT wait to meet him and see if he even likes half the stuff that he has already been gifted
Love that you played the old video at the same time!
Sometimes babies will like something for like, a week and then decide they don't like it 😂 we got a used mamaroo as well and she liked it for a whole week and then decided it wasn't for her. Yay babies!
Haha RIGHT or clothes?! There good foe a month or two then on to the next 😂
My babe is due in June and I’m just eating up your videos! They’re SO HELPFUL!! Thanks for the non toxic car seat recs. We’ll definitely be looking into the wool ones😊
Totally I am now owb the nuna Rava and the clek foonf and I prefer the Rava
My daughter is 4 months old now. We got SOOOOOOOOO MANY clothes for our shower..... thanks to covid. I’m pretty sure I’m raising a nudest. Because we can’t go anywhere since the majority of the time she’s been born we have been in a stay at home order.... She’s always only ever in a diaper, great for not having to do laundry. But now I have a bunch of nice baby clothes that have never been worn.
Can always sell them for full price since theyve never been used
@@alarmedllama5910 no no luckily we got mostly gender neutral so we can use them for our next baby. But my current baby is always nudie 😆
This is the video I will recommend to any expecting mother. You made some great points. I personally loved buying off of marketplace and seeing what my baby liked
Yes, you can put everything in the dishwasher... And the nuna, maxi cosi, and 1 of the britax infant carriers are environmentally friendly. The maxi cosi is compatible with baby jogger among others.
Would love to see an updated version of that now that you're a few more years (and babies!) into motherhood.
That’s a great idea!
Facts! When I was making my registry I had no idea what I needed. Wish I saw this video before my baby shower.
Carrying my baby on my back since she was like 6 months old was a game changer!
She looks over my shoulder and sees everything, plus it’s better for my back and pelvis
Yes!! I’m loooovung it!
Thought you weren’t suppose to wear baby on your back till they toddlers 🤷🏻♀️
@@ASMRKay_ in Nigeria we carry out babies on our back from 3 months (some cultures from 1 month) and it's very comforting for them especially when they are having troubles falling asleep.
Thank you for explaining the reason to get a infant car seat vs. a 4 in one. Mobility. I have been researching this for awhile and did not know that. THANK YOU!!!!!
Expecting my first baby to be due this upcoming April and there’s sooo much info out there on what to get/not to get that it definitely gets overwhelming! This video was so helpful! ESP your comment about the car seat and not stressing bc “you will adapt and figure out what works best for your family.” I needed to hear that - thank you! Bc deciding on an infant car seat vs a 4 in 1 plus a million other things is tough!
Expecting mine in April too! Have a healthy speedy birth!
@@darklightangles Awe thank you!! Wishing you the same as well!
Such a great video!!!!! I agree with all of this. My baby is 6 months old and I thought I needed all the things and I have used less than half of it. Just part of the learning process!
Hey Shayla I would love you to do a video all about cloth diapering, how you do it what you need and all the items you have to get to help with cloth diapering! Love your videos you are the best!
I have two! Google “hey Shayla cloth diapering” and it should pop right up!
I’m chasing around the mini at the moment otherwise I’ll get you the link
Hahaha 🤣 The buttercup is buckling up 👏🏼🙌🏼😅 so glad we gon’ be talking about this ‘cause I have NO idea where to start. Nine weeks into this new world (and hoping everything will turn out right 🙏🏼) 😊
I’ve seen you mention the bottle thing in other videos too and just wanted to throw out there for new moms that if you start bottles early, chances are baby will take a bottle no problem and they don’t care what kind. I breastfed both my babies, the first until 17 months and my son is 8 months and still nursing, and I started one bottle per day pumped milk when they were a few days old and never did they reject bottle or breast, and I used a different kind of bottle with each kid and they didn’t care. If you wait longer, generally babies will reject any type of bottle you give them. I just didn’t want to scare new moms or make them think you need 5 different kinds of bottles. If you choose to start using them right away and stay consistent, they don’t care what kind.
Thankful for your comment ❤️
Nipple confusion is what I’m so afraid of! I want to exclusively breastfeed for at least a year, but I’ve only heard horror stories of how moms gave a bottle, and then the baby refused the breast and only preferred the bottle 😭 I’m terrified of that happening to me so idk if I could introduce a bottle early. Any tips appreciated!
@Grace Upon Grace Productions you definitely want to have a good latch established first, but nipple confusion is so incredibly rare. I have never experienced it. My babies ALWAYS preferred the boob over a bottle, but they took the bottle if that was the only option 😅 Definitely speak with a lactation consultant, but in my experience, pumping and giving a bottle a day has never been an issue. I would usually pump in the evenings so my husband could put the baby to bed. Always pump if you give a bottle to match the milk supply. My son is now 13 months and going strong with nursing and takes bottles while at daycare/with sitters no problem. If you aren’t consistent, they won’t remember and won’t take bottles sadly.
So many great tips that I haven’t heard from any other RUclipsrs. Requesting second hand and gender neutral is soo great!! My husband and I moved to MN last year so I was excited to see a MN RUclips mom!
Oh I love that!!!
Welcome to the tundra😅😂🙌
This was really helpful, I made notes all
the way through.
***If you live in a smaller home or don’t have a lot of space, the pack and play is PERFECT.***
My baby is 15 months old and we’ve been using it since the day he came home from the hospital. He’s never slept in it but we used it as a changing station until he outgrew the bassinet part (15 pounds). After that we started putting him in the bottom part with toys. We still do this when we need to get something done, especially since he has outgrown the activity center and swing.
That being said, it’s crazy how every baby (and parent) is different because I had the opposite reaction to almost every item in this video.
Love this video... I have a 5 week old and live in a one bedroom so we have to keep it simple. Just want to say also that gender neutral can include all colors not just gray! I think people especially try to avoid pink when buying gender neutral but our male bodied babe wears all colors and patterns including pink and he looks cute as can be. Thanks!
This!! I especially love soft mint greens and anything with leafy or floral-y patterns for any baby :)
Am I pregnant, no. Having anymore kid’s, no. Minimalist, no. Kid’s grown, yes. I watch because you make me laugh 😂
Hahaha love it
The Hakaas are new since my last babies, love the idea!!!
There are lots of alternative feeding methods to bottles like cup feeding, straw cups, syringes, spoon feeding. I cup fed my girl using a little medicine cup quite a few times while we were figuring out latching in the first week. She literally drank from a cup at about 6 hours old!
What?!!!! That’s amazing and so smart!!
👏
This is so funny - most of the things you said you never used are the biggest hit at my house. The snot sucker? A life saver, so much easier than the ball one. The bath flower? In the dryer right now because it gets used multiple times a week, he sits on it in the bathtub and he started in it in the sink.
Isn’t that how it goes!!! 😂😂
It’s not as fun as cute clothes, but I got a ton of diapers and wipes and it was sooooo helpful! We didn’t buy wipes and diapers for literally 9 months
The miamily carrier has a carrier plus the seat which was always amazing
Super helpful video! Thank you so much! Will be checking out your channel!
Second hand is for the win!!! I go to Goodwill and when I'm done with things I bring the items back unless we ruin them haha! I got the bottle box and my baby boy will take literally any nipple so we haven't bought any more bottles haha
Amazing and amazing!!
I have so much gender neutral and I try to buy both but when baby boy was born we couldn't help getting those cute little masculine clothes he looks so adorable!! He still wears a lot of gender neutral florals and greens too
That's my feeling. Like 9/10 days: pajamas. 1/10 day: an entire 3 piece suit.
Hahahaha love this
Miamily is actually the original hip seat!! Highly recommend 💗
I had a nephew who wouldn't take a bottle, and I believe it was because one wasn't introduced soon enough. They made sure the bottle feed sometimes with the next baby. Both my babies were bottle fed soon after coming home as well as breastfed so that I could hand off to my husband, or make things easier on the go. It really just made things easier.
We did the glass bottle box and ended up ordering a couple more of one of the brands. So yes, highly recommend the Babylist bottle box.
Someone got us that onsie set and I love them!
I love the boppy carrier too, it's the one I recommend. You get the best of both in the sense it clips around waist so it's got some support. But then wraps around the top so it feels nice and snug. Plus I can get it on without help lol very important.
Yes!! Exactly I agree!
I still use my Lenny Lamb carrier with my toddler. So comfortable compared to other ones I tried. They have a soft structured carrier called Lenny UpGrade that does all way carries including forward facing.
Oh good to know!
Instead of the sanitizer bags, i've got the nuk microwave steriliser. Same kind of function as you said but less plastic waste and reusable 😊
I got the clear nose suction bulb that can be taken apart and cleaned which reassured me from hidden germs. Highly recommend
PACK-n-PLAY - Minimalist 2nd opinion. We used this instead of a crib. Smaller, more multi-purpose and Much Cheaper. After about 9 months, we put her on a futon on the floor. You can’t fall off the floor! Your child may be into death-defying stunts and a crib might actually be an increased risk if they like to try and jump out of it.
Agreed!!
Since your baby is a year you could definitely do a back carry so she can watch what you’re doing! At that age my kids loved hanging out high on my back. I prefer a ruck carry in a woven wrap but I’m sure you could do a similar carry in a buckle carrier as well!
Back carrying rocks!!
Amazing! I actually did yard work today and she was on my back and loved it!!
Absolutely love back carrying! I can get so much done and the kids love it
Thank you for making this video. I had no idea what to ask for 😂
I got the bottle box and that was super helpful to figure out which bottle my son would take ☺️
A good carrier would be an onbuhimo. It does back carry (for older babies) so easily, and they are higher up than other carrier types I’ve used, and they can see over your shoulder! It’s great for babies that love to forward face because they can still see. The ones I’ve seen (happy baby and Sakura bloom) are hip healthy!
Omg I did an episode on baby carrying! It’s is great for the baby physically and actually helps them learn how to walk.
Sorry blasting your comment section.
I’m so sad, I watched like ALLL of your videos during my whole first trimester now your new ones give me nauseous flashbacks 😂 I’m so sorry I love your content
OMG nooooo 😂😂😂
Great video!!
1- I loved your videos throughout my pregnancy and now even more as a new mom, I feel like we have a similar mindset / approach to parenting (kinda minimalist, Montessori-eque, attachment parenting style that questions what Americans are currently doing compared to the rest of the world) and similarly particular babies who want to do what they want not what traditions says they should want
2- it’s so weird/cool to hear my name in your videos now 😂 I’m the only Alea I know of other than the singer (I was Not named after 😂)
3- I used your minimalist registry video to help with my own, not knowing anything I’d need, as well as the many comments people left suggesting other items...and there’s a few similar regrets in our house: my baby has always hated all styles of swaddles and the snuggle me organic too, we also have way too many baby blankets (and I only registered for one of them 😂)
4- things you mentioned I totally second as Essential: bottle sanitizer with a dryer is so necessary, the haaka, gift cards, the book instead of a card baby shower idea, Ca baby co popup playpen, nursing cover and nursing bras/tops for easy access, and breast pads for leakage.. we have a few others but haven’t taken them out of the box cuz baby is only 3 months and not sitting up yet (activity center, and high chair)
5-things you didn’t mention that were essential for us: nipple shield (my baby had a tongue and lip tie and could only breastfeed using it until 2.5 months when she was strong enough to latch without it), baby bath that transitions from infant to toddler, Konny baby carrier (super soft and easy to put on and baby loves being in it, I carry her more than my family thinks I should, it’s one of the only ways she’ll nap in the late afternoon), basic cloth diapers make the best burp cloths, soft bibs for the nonstop baby drool/spit up that can soak a cute outfit surprisingly fast, anti colic bottles (I didn’t know not all bottles are designed to prevent gas so when we first introduced a bottle she got horrible gas until we discovered the tommy tippee short fat one), onesies with double zippers or reverse zippers so their whole body doesn’t have to be uncovered for diaper changes, we also have used the tiny top hat potty for EC since she was 5 weeks old (now at 3 months she rarely poops in diapers just pees in them, I totally recommend looking into that during pregnancy since I was not prepared for how many diapers a fresh newborn could go through in an hour span before i gave birth 🤪), water wipes, frida baby nail clippers (have a little window so you can see where you’re cutting their teeny nails), a pumping bra so you can be hands free when pumping (without the expensive hands free styles of pumps), oh and a really big water bottle for that breastfeeding thirst
This is suuuuuuuch a good list!!! Thank you!!!
Amazing comment. Thank you ❤
My MIL wants the best fanciest stuff for her first grandchild. She begged me to get the mom cozy swing and I was begging her to please stop talking about it. She found the mom cozy for $40 on marketplace and bought it. I couldn't be mad, $40 for a $200 item is a pretty good deal, and I can resell it if baby hates it. The thing is brand new, the sellers said their baby hates it!
I’m chuckling watching this because my son Salem loves/hates all the same things Aliya does 😅He’s just about the same age too. Everyone I talk to is so surprised when I tell them he refuses to take a bottle. I’m sorry this happened to you too, but I’m glad I’m not alone!
Haha right?! It’s crazy how picky they are. Like, how do you prepare for that?!
My sister had a baby (the first in my family) and my mom got her SOO many things that they had no space for it. I'm moving out soon and probably starting a family with my boyfriend in a few years, but we're going to be in a small place at first so won't have much space, so I'm hoping to be more minimalistic. That being said, I'm going to have to tell my mom constantly not to get me anything because she likes to go all out and I don't have the space for that lol. They mean well though
This is so helpful!
Oh good!!
I have the baby tupperware because I'm going to make a lot of baby food at home and what pre-portioned servings, but i have a rule of never paying for most tupperware. I reuse glass jars for leftovers generally.
Even on my third baby I needed the reminders not to get all the things ! This was really helpful thank you ☺️
I love the Nosefrieda snot sucker! It was a staple in our house lol
You're great 👍 very helpful and easy to listen to
I also asked for nursing bras - no shame.
Baby aspirin/Tylenol is good to get as well.
I got SO MUCH baby wash, I donated some and probably will not even finish up what I have on the second child.
I have watched a lot of videos to help me with the registry and you are the first one I see that talked about the bottle box... Unfortunately I'm in Canada and they don't ship here but thanks for talking about it, I'm now on the hunt for a ''Canadian bottle box''
Babies can safely be worn facing out with hip health in mind. As long as their legs aren’t dangling straight down they are fine. I used a lilebaby and the facing out version was plenty good enough in the hip health department.
We got the doona car seat. It was $550 but sooooooooooo worth it. We travel and fly a few times a year it’s amazing. Our boy was on the small side and he fit in it until he was 2
i haven’t watched the video yet but the mommaroo SAVED us!! 10/10 must have and we never used the snuggle lounger that was a waste lol
I have had two babies and pretty much agree with you. But have to comment that infant carseat is always better and safer for an infant. And you can always sterilize things by boiling them so you don't really need all those microwave sterilising kits. And if you are pumping, you don't need to sterilize all the parts after every use if you can keep them in fridge in a bowl of water.
Yay!! I’m so glad you took my suggestion! This is everything I was hoping it would be, and more. You’re awesome. I love the messy, scrunchy top knot (that’s how I exist 85% of the time haha). Don’t be TOO hard on your past self. We all live and learn!
Me too!!! Such a good idea! Thank you! Send any more my way lol
I did use the spoon squeeze thing for our disneyworld trip in the parks but never used it again after that.. honestly it was a messing thing to deal with after using it.. a normal baby spoon with the baby food would have been easier to clean up
I don’t have babies nor do I want them. But I find these videos so interesting! Maybe it can help me better support my sister whenever she gets pregnant
LOVE THIS!!!!
With the nose thing I got one of the electric ones from Walmart where you just push a button and at first I was like na imma use the bulb now literally everytime she needs it I use the electric one and I'm assuming it's pretty gentle cause she doesn't really fight me on it. It's by Graco and the electric baby nail filer was also a life saver for me
Those activity centers, walkers & bouncers definitely aren't good for their bones. A lot of physical therapist don't recommend them
Yeah I literally threw mine away didn't even try to give it away because I felt like it was wrong
Loved this video!! So informative!! 😍 im obsessed with the mamaroo so I hope my baby will like it!! Haha I hadn’t even thought of how every baby likes different things!! 🤣🙈
Omg yes 🤦🏻♀️ I agree 100 with the you no longer get to decide. It has never been this hard and I beat my stubborn father with his wasteful ways in my home
Ugh so hard!!
Can you recommend books you’re reading? I’m currently reading hunt gather parent. Love it.
I also have that exact carrier, love it!
I think to babies need to be with mom more. I like my moby wrap it’s so comfortable!
We got the Doona car seat and loved it, then moved to a front facing convertible seat thar goes from 1 year until she’s pretty much a teenager 😂
Dr. Brown is the best for bottles. I have two boys and both are very different. Yet both took Dr. Brown first time I introduced it. Do get the Babylist bottle box because it brings a Dr. Brown in it either way and a few others so you can try which one. But trust me. Can’t go wrong with the Dr.
I would totally use the baby Tupperware for portion control. I’ve noticed I feel healthier when I pack lunch for work that’s 1-2 cups in size, since at home I could sit and graze for an hour, and then feel too full. Saw a video of a couple who lost weight simple by eating the recommended service size that’s labeled on everything. That seems easier than restricting oneself of yummy things, tho I had success with keto before I got lazy about sticking to it. Sorry for rambling, you look healthy as it is, maybe someone in the comments could find this helpful at least. 😅
Thanks to you I did a more Montessori style set up on my bedroom. And I plan on cloth diapering. Can you talk about that and how it’s going and how it started.
She's done a couple of videos about cloth diapering that are super helpful.
Yes!! RUclips “hey Shayla cloth diapering” and if you have more questions please DM me on Instagram! I could do another if there are questions unanswered!!
My 5 week old son is literally wearing the hedgehog onesie as we speak
Great video, Shay! I’ve been curious about the Tushbaby so glad to hear you tried and like it! I also agree that the Haaka is the BEST! Any time I find out someone is pregnant I Amazon it over to them ASAP 😂 OH! And the sink flower thing, we actually loved that! The sink in her bathroom happened to be the perfect shape and size so we used it until she was around 5-6 months!
You’re the one who sent the haakaa to me!!
@@heyshayla lol yesss!!!
My baby hated the mamaroo and snuggle me as well, such a waste. And I have 2 wild bird slings and I wish we had a better structured carrier.
The fun things about moms and babies is we all need different things. I am pregnant with my 4th and I have used a pack n play with all of them. We have a lot of traveling throughout the year since my family is 3.5 hrs away and my husband's is 14 hours away. If we did not have a pack n play I would always be stressing about where to safely put my child while I am taking care of the others and or while sleeping. It is in the top 10 things that I MUST have with a baby. Yet for you it was useless, it's fun to watch these for me.
👏👏👏 could not agree more! Each of us are different and we have our holy grail items 😂
I loved the little remedies bulb but I couldn’t find a new one so I bought the sucker and I hate it. It’s so much of a hassle when the bulb gets it over quicker.
Mom of 1y old here , helping a friend with a list . snot sucker- used a lot, thermometer- used a lot but in the ear one (yes there ones like that), haacka- not working for low supply , bottle box - great, activity center- pretty bad per our pediatrician, never needed - floor works wonders, jogging stroller - ours just had a converter for infant seat (Bob)
anyhow, super-real suggestions, good luck to all of you mommas!
I got a snot sucker. It is fantastic. Kid hates it but it clears the nose much faster than the bulb things that he also hated. Especially when he had a lot of very thick snot with a cold.
Good to know!!!
Love your channel lol
