This video has been really helpful thank you! I know what you mean about the Stomp V3 car seat, it’s so fiddly and heavy! However once it’s on the frame I love it.... the wheels are great for the countryside 😊
Discovered your channel this week and it's been so helpful! I'm still very early into my pregnancy but trying to learn as much as I can. Have you replaced your buggy yet? I really want a travel system but there's so many out there I just don't know where to begin!
Funny how a lot of the 'essential' stuff you mention in this video is now on your list of 'stuff you regret buying' in one of your recent videos! Glad I watched both videos.
Side note, if you’re planning on breastfeeding don’t buy the prep machine, just buy a tub of formula for if things don’t work out you’ve got it there and then you can always buy the prep machine later if you need it! Same with bottles just buy 2 bottles so they’re ready to go but don’t spend loads of money on a big starter pack! I stupidly bought £60 worth of bottles and haven’t used any 🤦🏼♀️😂
Would bottles be useful if partner is feeding through the day/night? I’m planning on prepping milk for bottles when I’m unavailable. Don’t want to waste money though!
Courtney Jane you can just buy 2/3 bottles and that should get you through the night but if you’re planning to breastfeed for a while your milk supply is best established over night so you’d need to pump when baby is having a bottle, also you’d wake up feeling very full and could cause mastitis if you skip too many feeds. It’s super confusing 😅 but basically your body makes what it thinks baby needs so if baby is having a feed with expressed milk and skipping a feed then your body will lower it’s supply and won’t make enough for what baby needs, the first 6 weeks will be difficult as night times will be hard but it gets easier, we’ve been breastfeeding for 16 months now and it’s super simple to not have to worry about packing milk and bottles That being said if you ever feel like it’s too much for you and you need to supplement then definitely do and if you end up having to move onto formula before you had planned it doesn’t matter either you did as much as you could and that’s all that matters ☺️
I’m 27 weeks and were panicked so much about what else I need for the baby. Watching your essentials video gave me reassurance that I’m pretty much 90% set! THANK YOU! Your videos are the best xx
I love your energy! Also love the fact that everything you mentioned is affordable - makes a change from all the other newborn essential videos out there!
Thanks for this, so useful!! Side note, many carriers are not 100% suitable for newborns, it needs to keep them supported in specific ways (hips and back). There are several articles on this if anyone wants to research but slings are usually safer.
Thank you, 31weeks and all i have are less than 10 outfits my children got me. So needed a list of essentials that make sense and not waste money. perfect
FTM mum and expecting a little girl in January, am 28 weeks. Thanks so much for this video, I know now there's a few more bits I need to tick off the list! 💘
Oh my God you are really sweet I just want to watch you talking over and over again you even gave me that push I needed to start my mom series on my channel since this is my last month and I feel tired most of the times .A new subbie.
Thanks a lot this is super helpful, I’m expecting my first baby and I feel clueless and also I won’t have any family around me to help with the baby. I’ll definitely follow your advice and get all those must have items - thanks 🙏🏽
I can second almost everything she recommends! So so so good. Free rider is the best! Milton cold water steriliser, essential and a fiver. Completely agree with everything she says. If you go for pampers, use the new baby yellow ones (a new design that didn't give nappy rash and fitted much better). The old school green ones leak everywhere and are so pricey!! Excited to try Aldi though as EVERYONE says they're better and cheaper! 🌈
Due on March 23rd (first time mum at only 19) and fair to say i have so much anxiety. Your videos help out so much!! Any tips or anything you can reccomend I do pleaseeeee let me know😭❤️
You’re so so kind! I’m only 22 so I know how you feel! Deffo check out my videos on DITL with a newborn and how we got George to sleep through the night! I hope they help!! ♥️
Wow I needed this video so much! RUclips did good recommending this, I’m 28+1 weeks and panicking now that I need to get things bought 🙈 I made a big table on my laptop but there’s definitely things I hadn’t thought of on here ! Thank you xx
Couldnt be without the prep machine! ❤ we have the tommee tippee steraliser that you just put 80ml water in the bottom, no tablets and takes 6 mins. Amazing.
This is such a wonderful video thank you 🤍 I am leaving everything extremely late to buy for baby as we are moving two months before baby is due so now it’s a rush and everything in this video is amazingly helpful all on order now 🎉🥳
very helpful videos!! Thanks for the tips. Getting myself the bottle prep machine...it was a nightmare with my first to boil the kettle and cool down the bottle agg!! thanks a million for that tip x
Hey :) these videos are really helping me at the moment, I am 28 weeks pregnant so these videos are very much appreciated, thanks for great informative content xxx
Hi, I found this video very helpful. I’m really struggling with what the baby wears to bed. A swaddle or a sleeping bag? I’m 29 weeks pregnant and very anxious! Any tips?
The perfect pram machine was amazing for us as dad works shifts, and when he was in nights it took 2 minutes to make a bottle and I was back with baby. Now I'm pregnant again with 3rd we had it bought for us as a Christmas present.
Cannot recommend them joie I size 360 spin car seat. Our baby is 12 weeks old and we’ve been using it since he was 6 weeks and it’s such a life saver xx
This is so funny! I got confused from the very beginning - couldn’t figure out what baby grows and vests are. I guess we don’t use this terminology in US lol
I'm due in June and have been looking into the Love To Dream swaddles, would you suggest getting newborn from the off? Or would small be ok? Don't know if its a waste of money to buy newborn...? X
This is so helpful! Can I ask how many layers George wears underneath the Swaddle at night? Not sure if my little one should have just a babygro or babtgro and vest? Thanks xx
So, so helpful! Love that you have recommended alternatives that are cheaper e.g. the water wipes we have been using and love but are super pricey. Our baby is 6 weeks now. Also, we bought the prep machine and my partner was so excited, but I put it away in a cupboard because health visitors put me off and made out that they aren't safe. I'm 6 weeks into exclusively breastfeeding, which baby loves but I am really struggling with it - the relentlessness and sore engorged-ness and tiredness and using nipple guards to help latch/pain. I have him on the breast on demand around the clock so you've convinced me to the prepper anyway! They seem super popular. I have loads of the things you've got! ❤️🌈 As a bottle feeding mum (I bottle feed expressed milk currently using tippee bottles but I have the Mam set too for when he starts having more milk), did you ever use Infacol for wind? My baby is getting quite windy but I have t tried yet. I got the black and white cards from Amazon! When did George start being interested in the sensory bits? Sorry, so many questions! Lockdown mum life is tricky as I can't see anyone like I'd planned on mat leave. Thanks so much for your vid! So glad I found you.
Sorry if I missed it but in the cold water steriliser, are you rinsing the bottles before use to get rid of the chlorine smell or do you just use them straight from the steriliser?
Is there anything you bought that you HAVEN'T used? I'm due in march with my first and see so many things advertised, I'm just wondering if any of it is not worth the purchase?? Xx
Such a good question!!! We haven’t used our baby monitor yet (as George is still in our room at the moment), we deffo have way too many clothes lol and we didn’t use and swaddle blankets as we had the love to dream swaddle! Pretty much everything else we have used! 🥰
God I love your channel - I just got so excited when I saw a new vid😂 my boy is also 10 weeks and I can confirm that all of the bits you’ve mentioned are essential! One thing I would add is a good stain remover 😅 nothing worse than putting on a new outfit and then there’s a poo explosion 💩😂
Is the ickle bubba pram good on muddy dog walks? I'm researching prams atm as obviously the shops are shut and I need country dog walk suitable. Thanks for the tips
Hi love the vlog i heard you talking about tommy tippy ASDA in the uk has special offers on all there products. We got 8 bottles electric steriliser, and other feeding essentials for £60 i hope this helps some new mums and dads like me and my partner thank you for your info really helpful.
I hope you all found this video helpful! Let me know what your newborn essentials are and help eachother out below!! ♥️
This video has been really helpful thank you!

Outfit for my little one she looks cute
Have got a pram yet

I got amber new dress from Morrison last week
Thanks for this, so useful!!

You have the old version of the machine that’s why you can’t go lower than 4. The day and night newer model can do 1oz. It’s amazing!
FTM mum and expecting a little girl in January, am 28 weeks. Thanks so much for this video, I know now there's a few more bits I need to tick off the list! 💘
I’m a childminder and I provide Aldi nappies for all of my little ones, never had a blow out or any leaks for any age of child, highly recommend!

We were gifted a Prep machine from my work, but even paying £70 for one would be worth it for the night feeds alone!! Life saver 🙌🏻
Couldn’t agree more!! Life saver ♥️♥️
I'm due 1 week today with my first baby so this video is perfect for me right now! Thanks 😁
How exciting for you!! I bet you’re super organised already but there’s always that one thing you forget isn’t there! ♥️
I’m a first time mum of 22 and this video was a lovely watch,felt like a big sister giving me advice 💜
Love this video, very thorough and I like how you did it in sections. Will definitely come back to watch again when I do my final checklist !
Love this! Definitely given me more confidence and realised I have ticked off most of the essentials.

Loved this! Baby safe ear buds… didn’t even know that was a thing! Great vid lovely x
This is so funny! I got confused from the very beginning - couldn’t figure out what baby grows and vests are. I guess we don’t use this terminology in US lol
I just paused the video to see if someone explained what a baby grow was in the comments!-off to google I go lol. We don’t use it in Canada either.
Out of interest what do you call them :-)

Really useful. How many of the love to dream swaddles did you need at each size? I assume you wash them every night?
I'm due in June and have been looking into the Love To Dream swaddles, would you suggest getting newborn from the off? Or would small be ok? Don't know if its a waste of money to buy newborn...? X
Your RUclips content is amazing for me future mummy 🤗🤗🤗
I lovevthat sheep! I will so buy it for my newborn
Hi my lovely! Great video as always !! Roughly how many nappies have you used ( on each category)? Xxx
Ooohh good question! I think we used live 6 x packs of 24 of the size ones! Then maybe 4 x pack of size 2 and going to move up to size 3 soon! Xxxx
So helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
