      Update: I had my baby 23.01.2020. It was an easy birth, only 5 and a half hours active labour. Only thing is that I didn't go to the hospital as I didn't feel the difference between my usual flare up pain from the actual contractions. xD I came in at 7cm after my bf threw me in the car and forced me to the hospital. What would I do without him? xD

    I'm a feminist, and sadly I hear a lot of other feminists who are professionals in some field or another give grief to stay-at-home moms. But the thing is, some people were born for the caretaking/teaching role. Some people were just meant for this and are so so so so good at it.
    We - society as a whole - NEED these people. Not only do the little humans you encounter in your lifetime benefit from your care, but so many others do, too, because you share these things with them.
    As a feminist, I do not denounce this. I praise you. You are raising healthy, happy human beings who will one day contribute to society. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for sharing!

    • @jyotipun1
      @jyotipun1 Před 6 lety +113

      Anyone who says they are feminist and look down on stay at home mums do not know what feminism means... feminism is not about woman following a career and denouncing being a housewife... feminism is the freedom to choose what you want to do regardless of the so-called gender roles assigned by the society...

    • @twoscoopz4944
      @twoscoopz4944 Před 6 lety +53

      Most third wave feminists do look down on stay at home moms though--not stay at home dads, because that's progressive, just moms. It's not logical, it's just pathetic.

    • @twoscoopz4944
      @twoscoopz4944 Před 6 lety +39

      Imagine if a Mormon commented on a woman's profession, "As a Mormon, I do not denounce this. I praise you!" No one asked for your group's approval. It's ironic that "feminists" think giving out stamps of approval (in lieu of shaming) to SAHM is anything but infantilizing, misogynistic, and cultish behavior.

      And just to clarify, dear two scoopz, I do research in child development - mostly cognition/brain development, but also overall health and psychology - and I have a passion for my job. I have met many other women in the work place who have no concern for any type of maternity leave following the birth of their children. They have no interest in staying home to be with them. Additionally, they look down on women who do so - or women who choose not to work outside the home at all. This is damaging. That's what I was getting at. You sound like you need to go get laid.

      @juicysatsumabeauty Před 3 lety

      I think that's a bit fastidious. I mean sure if you are literally only going to be either holding your baby or having then in their bassinet (another must have, somewhere to sleep) but most parents want to be able to put their baby someone safe, comforting and stimulating for them while they get a chance to eat, nap, shower etc. Also how are feeding your baby? You need bottles, a way to sterilize them even if you breast feed you likely need some equipment to assist with that. How do you bath your baby? No baby bath? No even anything in the sink to help you support them? What do they sleep in? Just a onesie?? No swaddle? No sleep bag?

    @NatalieBennett  Před 6 lety +355

    A little correction to something I said in this video. I accidentally said “One of my boys wanted to be swaddled until 9 months old...” I meant to say “9 WEEKS!” The AAP doesn’t recommend swaddling past 8 weeks old. Also, our Dockatot is never used with the baby unattended. For more safe sleep guidelines from the AAP please follow the link in the description box! Though we don’t follow the guidelines PERFECTLY we have followed up with our pediatrician and have discussed our children’s sleeping arrangements with him. We always urge our audience to seek the council of medical professional if they have any questions.

    • @melissalandry1520
      @melissalandry1520 Před 6 lety +19

      This is super important as babies can start to roll at 8 weeks and if they are swaddled they may get stuck in a dangerous position. Thanks so much for clarifying!!

    • @michellebaza4066
      @michellebaza4066 Před 5 lety +3

      My son is 3 months and rolls over in his sleep and I swaddle him every night. During the night he frees his arms and only his bottom half is swaddled this helps him from throwing the blanket on his face and keeps him warm. Btw every in the home checks on him in the middle of the night since he does roll over. I try my best to turn him facing up every time I wake up.

    I so agree on the prefold cloth diapers. We bought prefolds thinking we'd use them as nappies, but ended up using them for everything else instead, and had to buy twice as many in order to not "run out" between washes. We use them for burping, under babys head when sleeping and breastfeeding (in case of spilling), when changing nappies etc. They are soft, they hold a lot of moisture so don't leak through and can handle "accidents" on the changing table very well! I have no idea how other parents survive without prefolds. I have gotten around to using them as nappies also! Love, love, love prefolds.

    Your voice is literally so soothing lol but great video especially since my baby is due next week and trying to get as much info as possible. Skipped purchasing a lot of "fancy" items. The one I did splurge on was the halo bassinett since it was recommended to me since I'm having a c section. We'll see how it goes. Love the idea about the cloth diapers and have added those to my list. Never would have thought of it so thank you!

    Awesome list, I'm with you on things that will grow with baby, you sold you me on the blooming bath, def buying one soon. 🙂 I love my "Brest friend" nursing pillow, great for nursing, bottle feeding, nap time after feeding when you just want to cuddle and watch baby. My son just loves that pillow!

    Amen on the sleepers! That's literally all my baby wore the first couple months; I had a few fancy things but there was never an occasion for them. I was happy to have a Halo Sleepsack Swaddle for her because it made middle of the night changes much easier and faster. I would recommend buying them secondhand because babies do grow out of them fast.

    The Velcro swaddles worked great for my little one (there are zipper transitional arms free ones as well that worked after he was about 6-10 weeks old). Also we loved the adenandanais burpy bibs( They are 360 cover every angle for my newborn with reflux). I also got a 2 in 1 swing but he also loved the Fisherprice rock n play (the vibrations are key to happiness for him).

    Natalie, I stumbled upon your channel by complete accident when you posted a comparison of your two pregnancies. Immediately I adored...then as I have seen a few more I realized we have more in common. Christian and YL oils! Congrats on your sweet baby girl. I know a little late, but better late than never. Unfortunately I am not a mom, but love, love, love babies! So catching glimpses of babies just make me so happy. They are such a blessing and miracle.

    The wubanub is great when babies get a little older and they can find their paci easily at night in their crib vs waking up screaming because they lost their paci. Also they're easy to find around the house and diaper bag 😊

    • @xaquamarinababex
      @xaquamarinababex Před 6 lety +1

      Theresa Slater I was thinking yhe same, is more for when they are a little bit older and able to grab it themselves, plus they are so cute! I just bought 2 for my first baby, can't wait to meet her in July!

    I have 5 kids and couldn't agree more on most the things you said. The only reason not all is I haven't used some of them. That bloomer baby bath I will be getting. I still have a new baby and she'd love it!! I haven't used my waste of space baby bath in a few kiddos. And the ones that did use it hardly did. Total waste of money and space!! The muslin swaddlers are my absolute favorite!!

I've been wanting it vs the hard baby tubs and I agree that as long as you take care of it the right way, there's not a big issue with it at all. Now I'm definitely sold on having it on my registry ❣️ I've been watching your videos all week because I love listening to your voice and a lot of the things you say/mention go along the lines of the type of parent and person I want to be

  • @tracycook5445

    I'm a grandmother and find today's must have items quite interesting.
    I've seen a couple of vloggers using the Velcro swaddleds and they seem to work for them. However I so wish there had been giant muslin cloths when. Mine were babies. I didn't co sleep it I'm sure if I'd had a dockatot it would have been brilliant. One mom actually puts her one year old I. His cot in it so yes. Brilliant.
    It's amazing seeing generational differences

    • @NatalieBennett
      @NatalieBennett  Před 7 lety +8

      Tracy Cook Definitely! Generational differences ARE interesting. What were YOUR newborn must have when you were a new mom? I'd love to know! :-)

    • @devonlee1
      @devonlee1 Před 7 lety +2

      Tracy Cook I'm interested in what your must haves were too!!

    • @tracycook5445
      @tracycook5445 Před 7 lety +5

      Natalie Bennett My must haves were Muslin squares that were used as burp clothes and every morning when I remade the Moses basket ( another must have) downstairs and the rocking cradle upstairs I put a fresh cloth folded across the top of the matress over the sheet in the theory that only that needed washing .
      Washable breast pads
      I used Cloth diapers and for those first few days I used the pre folded ones you used as burp cloths my American aunt sent them to me and wow they were great, later on I used them to make overnight diapers when they started sleeping through.
      Almond oil for nipples
      Oh I had a lovely fisher price mobile that played Brahms lullaby that was used from birth but only at nighttime bed time to get used to bed time
      All four of mine including son wore long soft brush cotton nightdresses for the first four weeks and unless going out they wore Day and night so much easier than snaps in babygros
      Think that's probably it so not to different today just tweaked from the olden days back in the 80's
      Oh I had a baby bouncer that I doubled as an improvised uninvented play gym , I hung different items on it like ribbons and bells so that they could touch as they moved their arms

    • @julieannemichelle
      @julieannemichelle Před 7 lety +1

      Tracy Cook I agree with you as far as the differences between the different generations and their must haves.
      One of my must haves I don't hear about as much as I did when I was having babies is a gown for the baby to sleep in. I had many more gowns for my newborns than sleepers. They were so easy and easy access for changing the baby in the wee hours of the night.
      One thing that hasn't changed is the double folded cloth diapers that I used for burp cloths etc.🌺

    • @kettlebellwafer
      @kettlebellwafer Před 6 lety +3

      Generational differences are definitely interesting, even more so between 3 generations! I talked to my grandmother about it (she had children in the late 50s, early 60s) and she said “It’s crazy how many unnecessary items there are for babies these days... like carseats. We just stuck them in a bassinet and threw them in the back. We didn’t even have seatbelts”. 😂

  • @nycqueenz9
    @nycqueenz9 Před 6 lety +11

    The Aden ones are the best BUT if you worry about SIDS and You are a mom who wakes up every so often to check if the blanket is on their face you will be better off with the Velcro ones I personally used the Velcro ones with both my daughters they truly gave me a peace of mind especially at night when we both were sleeping I would use the Aden blankets more in the day time when I was awake and she was in my sight

I used to be a nanny and for the life of me...the mother or no amount of CZcams videos could teach me how to use swaddle blankets...I JUST DON'T GET IT!!! So, I just ordered some of Velcro swaddlers in various sizes just to make my life easier. Lol.
