    I watched so many prep videos. I cannot say thank you enough. This video was the one video that was candid, real and useful. It’s not just an add like so many other videos, it’s a mom giving her honest advice!!

    • @ChristineCartwright
      @ChristineCartwright  Pƙed rokem +4

      Wow thank you so much! I tried to make something that I really needed before I had my babe. I'm so glad you found it useful! More to come! XO 💕

    About to have my 6th and I haven’t used any of these products except the diapers and wipes! Of course, there are similar products that worked for us like a bassinet, etc. my best advice is to just have the baby and the bare minimum essentials. Once you get to know your baby you can try different products you might find helpful. We live in a world where we can usually get something pretty quickly if we decide we need it or would like to try it. I registered for a lot of unnecessary products with my first and second and found each child to need and use different things (one loved the swing while another hated it, 2 took pacifiers and the others refused them, different babies preferred different baby carriers, etc). This video is most helpful for bringing awareness about quality products that worked well! And for that I am very grateful.

    • @alysenicoley
      @alysenicoley Pƙed rokem +17

      I m super afraid of this. When our baby is born we will be moving down to a one income house and we live in a one large room basement. I am putting so many things on the registry because we cannot afford to experiment when the baby is born. We will be pulling from savings to pay for food after all of our bills are paid so if we don't get it from our registry then we just wont have it at all.
      I see so many people saying to wait for your baby to decide what they like then buy that but what do you do when you can't do that?

      @@alysenicoley you can always get gift cards from people so when baby is here you still have some wiggle room to buy some items. If not, I’m sure you will make due and get creative. You have to think, we didn’t have all these things back in the days and here we are.

      Don’t let that inner voice tell you that it’s something you’re doing that’s keeping you from getting pregnant, sometimes people just need a little help!

    Good list. My babe had colic and we found out it was due to a milk protein allergy. Once we got switched to a better formula, (congenital heart defect, and my medication is toxic for babies, so unable to breast feed) he showed significant improvement. Had two episodes afterwards and then never had another. But Mylicon was our blessing for him.

    You don’t need half of these things. Don’t be afraid to become a mother because of money reasons. Motherhood is not about consumption, but love and patience
    All my items are used from born until 2 years at least:
    bath tub with small seat
    travel crib because they are cheaper
    stroller
    Car seat because is mandatory
    used clothes (buying is a mistake, you don’t know how big will be the baby, wait for gifts and check second hand stores)
    cloth diapers (also cheaper in the long run).
    The new born baby is happier close to mummy or daddy than in the rocking chair
    There is no need for monitors
 we have ears that are prepared to listen better after the birth
    I also have the lovevery play gym but my baby only was interested between the third and sixth month. Now he prefers to explore ❀

      Omg I got most of our stuff from my sister in law who claims she's done having any more babies. So we got hand me down stroller, swaddle, bath, clothes, toys like everything. Was amazing! Only thing we got new was the carseat because we just want to be on the safe side with that.

    Love your video!! I noticed that you recommended the Comotomo, it's a great option but also known for causing colic and gas in babies that drink fast. So maybe you could try a bottle with a valve that doesn't allow air in, such as Dr.Brown. My sister had the same issue and her nursing consultant recommended the switch, her baby never had issues with gas and colic again.

    Great video! I found your recommendations and insights incredibly helpful. It's refreshing to hear someone emphasize the importance of not buying too many unnecessary things for a newborn. The My Breast Friend pillow seems like a fantastic choice, especially with the convenient strap and pocket. The Snuggle Me Organic lounger seems like a practical and versatile item for quick tasks while keeping your baby comfortable. Lastly, the Angel Care bathtub insert looks like a great addition to make bath time safe and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your experiences and recommendations with us!

    Best diapers I've found are the Up & Up from Target. They are SUPER absorbent and don't leave a rash or rub welt between the thighs. Plus they hold up so well for blow outs. Especially if you fold the back flap under.

      I wouldn't say its a must. You could always do a changing table that you can find for under $100, much cheaper than the changing dressers. Or depending on your home you can just get a changing pad and move it around the house! Totally up to you! XOXO

    If i’m right you always need to give them vitamin D. While breastfeeding they also need vitamin K up until 3 months old. They don’t need that when formula fed. Atleast here in the Netherlands

Even in the pure or harmonie edition. So no pampers for my baby. Microplastics are endocrine disruptors. What have negative effects on furtility and brain development.

    Wait are nappies scented in the US??? I live in Australia and I haven’t found any nappies that smell. I love using the Huggies ultimates for my 10 month old but also like using the Rascal and Friends nappies when the Huggies aren’t on sale.
    Though scented wipes annoy me, there are way too many brands that make scented wipes in my opinion. But there are a few different water wipes that are cheaper than the standard water wipes.

    I wanted to say, i had both the my breast friend and the boppy and i didnt like the my breast friend because im taller and felt like i had to lean down to feed my baby in a way that just made my back hurt a ton but the boppy was awesome because its thicker and lifts the baby up a bit more. In the very begining id actually sometimes use both because i had a very tiny preemie and together it lifted her up quite a bit higher. Im also larger chested but im not sure if that makes a difference or not as far as which pillow i just threw it out there incase it had anything to do with one working over another. But the my best friend is great for some people im not discounting it, my petite sister actually preferred that which is why i think height might make a difference in pillow preference. Just hope this might help someone trying to chose.

    Did you actually use the breastFriend pillow religiously? Seems like a hassle. I got one with a removable cover for washing and they are a pain to put back on. Baby 4 on the way and I am at the point of my life where I walk/stand/recline and feed 😂 really wanted to try the pillow but it was blah. I have three snuggle me organics and a Moses basket for naps and put downs near by. Tuck them away around the home and the pod is there when you need to put the baby down. I kept one in my laundry room, kitchen/family room, and my children’s room. Think about what area you use your two hands in and keep the “snuggle me” pods there.
    This week, I am packing NB size diapers (hospital provides size 1), white body suits, take home outfit (that is, PJ’s), a couple muslin wraps since the hospital provides flannel blankets. We do baths at home instead of the hospital. I plan to use the same stuff in my list for the first three months but with a few more PJ’s. Babies sleep so much they basically live in PJs and body suits/wraps.
    Highly recommend zip up PJs because who wants to spend a million seconds clipping up pjs while hoping the baby won’t get frustrated with diaper changes. Just snuggle and sleep
it’s your and your baby’s “fourth” trimester.

    You're right! Definitely need vitamin D drops only if you're breastfeeding. Formula fed babies don't need the drops because all the vitamins they need are already in the formula. 🙂 They say that you need the Vit D drops when breastfeeding because most everyone has low vitamin D levels so naturally baby wouldn't be getting enough from you without the drops!
