POV: you’re 21 and not planning on having children for several years but you love Sezzy so you watch every video anyway
Hahaha me too!!!
Me!
I’m 21 and 8 weeks pregnant 😭
Yeeeeeeeeeees 🤣🤣🤣🤣!!ME
I’m 21 and due in 14 weeks and sooooo stressed out!😂🤣
You look sooo different than when you were pregnant with fox. You look like a legit mom and it’s the cutest thing EVER 🥺
Oh my gosh right!!! 🥺💕
Hey all! Third time mom here to offer some tips. Instead of a white noise machine, I use box fans. I have one in each child's room as well as out in the hallway. This not only helps with white noise, but it also keeps the room cool, which aids with sleep, AND studies have shown that having air circulate can help lessen the risk of SIDS (they believe that an improper oxygen/co2 balance in the blood is what causes SIDS).
Also, first-time moms (myself included) tend to be overzealous with the diaper changes. Unless they have a full diaper or lots of poop, most babies don't need a diaper change every night or multiple times a night. When my second and third baby were less than 2 months old, I would change them once a night usually. Although I've found that even with poop, unless they've started solids, it usually doesn't cause a rash if it sits in their diaper (and doesn't really smell much). But I was fortunate in that all 3 of my babies stopped overnight pooping 99% of the time at like 3 months at the latest. But yeah, you don't need to be waking yourself all the way up or turning on lights and confusing baby's day/night cycle for diaper changes unless they're bursting. My boy is 6 months old, nurses quite a bit and wakes at night to nurse most nights at least once, but he almost never pees out of his diaper. Which leads to my third tip...
Always put your baby in as large a diaper as they're ready for (for overnight at least). Don't wait until they couldn't possibly fit into their current size to size up. If you think they're getting even a hint too big for their current size, size up. And always check the elastic's tightness around the thighs (especially on the backside) to avoid peeing and pooping out the legs crevices.
My 2nd baby was sleeping in her own room and through the night at like 4 months, partially due to her easy temperament and partially due to the fact that I helped her to avoid day/night confusion by not using lights for unnecessary things.
I have a near 15 year old son and I found out this week I’m pregnant 😱 so it’s basically like being a first time mum again 😅
Thanks Sezzy ❤️
Congratulations. I'm jealous
My older sister was 15 and older brother 14 when my twin sister and I were born! They will have the best relationships
please make sure you are easy on your older child and do not force them to participate in the parenting process if they don't want to. My mom had my brother when I was 14 and going through a tough phaze with my mental health. Our relationship wasn't the best and I didn't have a relationship established with the father of my brother. They broke up a year later and a lot was put on me while I wasn't in a good place myself. I understand that a newborn is exciting, and I in no way say that you will do the same my mom did, but just please be easy on your other child 🙏
Saw this, felt like the only one for a min with a huge gap in kids ages, my son will be nearly 13 when my new baby girl is born, I'm 22 weeks now and was thinking shoot what do I even want to buy this time it's been so long lol. My biggest concern is the clothes for some reason because I'm due in April and sometimes here it's snowy then and other times it's like 75 degrees it's so unpredictable lol. Was thinking of doing dresses mostly so I can just throw tights on underneath when it's cooler out lol. Then im super minimalist too always been that way and think like I dont want to be too minimal with a baby and totally forgot babies need special bath setups lol. Want to try this flower thing you put in the sink I saw online, seems better then those crazy tubs from the older days.
YES Sezzy, my second Bub is 7 months old and I second all of these. The chair that swivels as well as rocks is a game changer, makes reaching for the snacks and water so much easier.
My added essentials:
- water bottles - everywhere you might feed. There’s nothing worse than sitting down, starting to feed, thirsty as f$&@ and you left the water bottle in another room.
- ingenuity bouncer ($129 at big w) is a dream - so easy to move and babies love them. I dragged it with my feet so many times. My baby also hated the swing (the same one you had)
- comfy loose stretchy pyjamas for yourself. Whether hot or cold weather, stretchy loose pyjamas are a god send.
- a snack caddy (even if it’s part of your normal one), I found light snacks helped keep me awake in the early days too, and you’re so ravenous when your milk comes in
- everything clothes in BONDS - the zippers, the stretchiness, the ease of washing, they are just the best
Your GLOWING Sezzy! Cant wait for the bubba! 🥰
I'm 50 years old and I've had 3 children who are all adults now. I love watching your videos and it is nice to see how much has advanced since they were babies. This will be a great tool one day when my girls have kids. Thank you Sarah
"not like actual essentials, but just like youtube essentials" Sarah's the best. ❤
Hahah I could just see the aggressive comments coming at me slamming me for calling them essentials😂🙄
I took a couple tests a week and a half ago and finally got a positive result with both. Went to the doc Tuesday and they confirmed it. This is my first baby and I’m so excited to get all the things they need so I wanted to binge some videos to see what I should get. Your videos are so fun!
I've recently had my third bub and the terry towelling cloths for burp cloths are the best, I tried fancy ones and went back to the basics.
Newborn essentials for me are Bonds Zippy Wondersuits, Love to Dream swaddle ups and a capsule for the car so you can buckle them in the house and not chase a toddler while trying to get the baby in the car seat.
I’m a first time mum, 3 weeks behind you! This has been sooo helpful! Affirming that I’m on the right track with what I’ve bought so far, and helpful with what I still need to get. Thank you!!!
Me too, and agreed! ^_^ Thank you Sezzy!
Sezzzzyyyy!!! I just found out I’m pregnant earlier this week & have been planning to re watch all of your pregnancy videos to kinda prepare myself. Thank you so much for this video. Love youuuu 💕💕💕
2 mattress protectors are amazing but PUT THEM BOTH ON AT THE SAME TIME 🙂 Honestly, game changing. When you, in the middle of the night need to change the sheets, just ripping off the top fitted sheet and mattress protector and being done is the best tip I was giveb as a new Mum.
My daughters 2 now but 100% agree on everything, especially the nursing chair. Like that is legit the best thing to invest in as far as newborn life goes. I do have 3 mattress protectors though as I have 2 layered on the bassinet/cot ready to just pull a layer off if it gets spewed or pooed on in the middle of the night. Can't wait for your little bubba to arrive!
I’m going to be a first time mum in May- im so glad I got the free rider sling for her so I can carry her around in the house. Also I have a rocking chair exactly like that one your friends have so im so pleased people have recommended it! Loved this video Sarah thank you so much it’s amazing having support & advice even from people the other side of the world to me! 🥰❤️
Thank you so much!!! I’m 20 weeks pregnant and so overwhelmed with what I need and especially what I dont need!! Adding all this to my list! ❤️❤️❤️
Since my baby was a newborn (he is 6 years old now and still using it) we used a Salt lamp as night light. The color and the brightness are perfect and it's also healthy because improves the quality of the air in the room
Does yours get hot? Mine does & I was wondering if all salt lamps do?
I also use a salt lamp on a dimmer so my baby doesn’t have to wake up all the way!
@@juneweeks3539 no, mine never gets hot
I can’t use a salt lamp because I have cats 🥺
I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I literally couldn’t agree more with these products! I would have recommended the same things and I also bought a bedside crib instead of a Moses basket this time and I’ve just got the same angelcare bath thing too and the Haakaa this time round!
ahhh i’m so excited to see the new baby, foxy is going to be the best big brother ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve tried a few swaddles with my bub and I’d definitely recommend the ‘love to dream’ sleeping bag over the ergo pouch. It does the same thing with the temperature but better for hips and arms. I wrapped my little one for the first few weeks then switched over to the love to dream swaddles. I found my bub and a lot of others love to sleep with there arms up… (after the tight swaddle stage). However with the ergo pouch it doesn’t allow bub to do that… whenever I tried the ergo pouch sleeping bag, my bub kept wanting to sleep with her arms up and relaxed above her head but in her sleep she’d try get her arms up by putting her hands through the neck hole and sometimes they’d get stuck. Making it abit harmful. I’ve had so many mums recommend love to dream over ergo pouch and I couldn’t agree more.
I liked the ergo pouch once she was sleeping without arms wrapped!
I used to be terrified of having kids, and watching your videos of your journey of having Fox had made me so much more excited to have kids. Now I have 5 week old twins❤️
I literally just took a positive pregnancy test this morning!!! I am in shock and so excited. Will be watching all your baby videos❤
Congratulations! You will do great
Omg congratulations 🥳🥳🥳
I honestly love Sarah's video's, it's so helpful and entertaining. She's just the best 😊🌻
For baby wearing: Happy Baby Carrier makes the most lightweight front backpack and backpack style carriers for babies and toddlers. I recommend once you are more comfortable moving over to slings, my favs are Hope and Plum but some broken in Wild bird slings are good, too.
We have that bath seat and it’s good for teeny tiny newborns but as soon as our baby started to use their legs, they can wiggle down and off it. We switched to the shnuggle as soon as they had good head/neck control, which is similar to Sarah’s original bath but A LOT lighter, easy to lift, empty etc. Also good for; hauling loads of laundry about and containing baby when I need a quick shower myself!
I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my first and so excited to watch this!😍 especially coming from one of my favorites 🧡
Hello, this is Dr. James, analyzing the ingredients used for babies.
99% water baby wipes contain hidden chemical preservatives, not suitable for newborns. So, what's the solution? You should use baby wipes made with 100% water. It's essential to use water-only wipes like Blissmile baby wipes.
I’m 5 months 🤰🏾 and definitely taking your advice 🥰🥰I love your videos 💕💕💕💕
So exciting, I love these videos!! I’m by no means an experienced mum (only have one bub) but a few things I’d add!
Kmart and big w have the burp cloths- they’re actually cloth nappies! I always buy 2 packs for new mum friends because they’re the best. As well as just getting 1-2 0000 onesies, it’s sometimes handy to have at least 1 00000 onesie in case bub is prem or just little so you have something to dress them in at the hospital (my bub was huge and straight to 000 😓). The red light in glow dreaming/aroma snoo machines is also supposed to help melatonin production, I used to use the red light for night time changes so she didn’t think it was daytime. And the chair! I have the Il Tutto I love it, it’s the best thing ever but they have one with a wooden handle on the side that sticks out rather than the small plastic black handle that sits flush- I didn’t have a c section but I’ve heard that closing the footrest on recliners is especially more difficult post caesar so one with a handle that you can manually close the footrest with (and it’s not all ab/legs closing it) can be handy! I know some of this stuff might not matter for some but it’s food for thought 🥰
You’re looking so healthy Sez! Good luck with everything! I can’t wait for my second, I miss my small baby haha
This is by far the most helpful and accurate list of “essentials” I’ve seen on CZcams. I’m a mom of four kids, aged 4-13, and currently pregnant with my fifth (and final) baby… so I can vouch for this and say every item she mentioned is practical and WILL be used. No need to watch more videos; save yourselves and your friends time and stick to this one!
I love how I can still enjoy all of your baby related videos and advice although I’m not even pregnant or trying. Such a cute momma! Taking notes, thanks Sezzy!
I'm 28 weeks pregnant and have recently moved from the UK to Woronora Heights. I wasn't sure what brands were good over here, so this video came in a good time. Definitely buying the same cot and chair, they are exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks 😊
Currently pregnant with my first and this was sooo helpful!! Love all your content!!
It's so beautiful to see your growth as a Mama 💙 the first video I saw was your pregnancy announcement with Fox and I cannot wait to see you as a Mama to two boys x
Mum of three and my babies LIVED in the Joie swing! My third is now 4.5 months old and loves it for all his day naps it’s a life saver I couldn’t imagine doing newborn life without it 🙌🏼
There is something called the ‘mumsie’ (an Aussie owned brand). They are overalls but the bib of the overalls are baby carriers!! Can say this is the BEST invention for wearing your Bub!! Plus they are super cute!!
Great tips! So fun to see your cool items. With my 3 yr old and 1.5 yr old, my essential items were a Moby wrap, fleece Halo swaddle (best thing ever), rocker/glider chair and then various pacifiers bc my babies were both different! Also an o ball was a fun first toy ☺️
Congratulations!
Love this! We used a salt lamp that has a switch that you can adjust the light super low to higher light. It’s warm light and it worked so well for breastfeeding at night and diaper changes
I’m 21 and just found out i’m pregnant which i wasn’t expecting to happen this young but it has and i’m excited and trying to do a lot of research, this video has helped so thank you
I love all the baby content 🧡👶🏼
21 weeks and a first time mum! Thanks so much for making this video Sarah. I’ve added some more things to my baby list 🥰👏🏻
Hello, this is Dr. James, analyzing the ingredients used for babies.
99% water baby wipes contain hidden chemical preservatives, not suitable for newborns. So, what's the solution? You should use baby wipes made with 100% water. It's essential to use water-only wipes like Blissmile baby wipes.
Been watching Sarah for years now, love her videos 🥰
Loved this!. I will definitely be referring back to this video when I’m become pregnant. Please do a in depth postpartum essentials video as well. 🙌🏻😌
Agree with every point so hard 🤌 Side note, with white noise, you can use a little google speaker (probably the other smart home ones too), you just say “play white noise” and then it gives you full volume control and you can adjust it from your phone 👏 . Also the added benefit of just using it as a speaker for music etc. in the day 🙌
The babybjorn bouncer is GREAT !! 🙌😉 For the next baby I will for sure take the same kind of co sleeping bed, I also had an episiotomy for the first and getting up to pick him up during the night was so painful 😣
You are such an inspiration Sarah 🥰 I’m so excited for you xx
So excited for you!!! I’m due at the same time however i have to have a scheduled c-section, so feb 28th ill be a mom of two!!! Much love 🍁
I love the fact that I'm not a mom but I still watch these for the future and they are honestly just because they are fun to watch!
Love this video! We are starting our adoption journey due to my PCOS and Endo and I need updated recommendations for a second time mom. I’ve been keeping you in my prayers for a healthy mom and baby! ❤️🙏🏽
I’m nearly 30 week pregnant with my first and this is so helpful! I also am getting the baby bjorn bouncer. Hopefully baby loves it!
Get a Himalayan salt lamp! I have one on my bedside just because I love it, and then I bought two more for rooms like the bathroom and path to the bathroom. Just make sure you get an adjustable one! I love it for when I’m up later than my fiancé. (I have IBS and gut problems, I’m often awake nauseas) so it’s very helpful.
So excited for bubba too come! Fox is going to be the best brother 🥰🥰
I love that you made a disclaimer about "Baby Essentials" this helps first-time moms to not feel overwhelmed. This is what I did in my video too and I am so happy to see a big CZcamsr say this as well! It is so helpful! Keep up the good work! 🥰
Just got my positive test and am tracking to be around 7 weeks already! 👶🏻 I watched this video before, but immediately came to your channel to rewatch all of these with a fresh perspective! I’m so excited!! 🥰
Congratulations! I’m on my 7th week too. First pregnancy . Hello from Pennsylvania 🌸 Stay healthy .
So helpful, thank you!
So generous of Esme too. I’ll be putting my order in!
Sarah, you are such an amazing mum! u are amazing, ik it gets hard but keep going! u got this girl
Currently 17 weeks pregnant and making my registry! Thank you for all the tips!
You are such a beautiful preggy mum!! 🤗 I will definitely save this for my future pregnant self.
The vava night light from Amazon is amazing. It was perfect lighting for late night diaper changes it has different light tones and you can take it with you anywhere. It’s easy to charge and has different brightness settings. It came with stickers so you can give it a face. It’s like a little egg with a cute face
ugh i love this hairstyle so much on you sez!! 💛💘
Thank you sezzy.best advice for all the mums out there. Currently packing my hostipal bag.
I have a seven week old newborn at home and love the pregnancy videos!
The angel care bath seat is absolutely amazing! You will love it! The bassinet is so cute 🥰
You look amazing as usual😁 I'm having my third baby at the end of this month. Watching video's like this reminds me that I still need to get a few things. Lol. Mama brain🤪 Thanks for the reminders Sarah😁
I'm pregnant with bub #3 and due in July 😊
This was soooooo incredibly helpful. Thank you!!
I’ve been waiting for this video!! I’m 3 months and soooooo excited to start slowly getting all of the essentials🤍🌙🤍🌙 Thank you for your beautiful recommendations Sezzy. Just curious what colour your nursing chair is in?! I absolutely love it!
Sending lots of love to you and your beautiful, growing family💕💕💕
Thank you!! This is the colour ‘Sea Shell’
Sarahhhhh I love u sm - ur house, ur family, ur everything !!
I love Sarah’s personality so much!! She’s like a ray of sunshine in every video
This is my first baby, and I had already watched this video but today this is SOOOO helpful as I'm 33 weeks and I need to define what to actually get for my baby! Thank you so so much!!!
You're glowing! You make pregnancy look so effortless!😊
As a first time mom to be, THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!! I’m halfway through my pregnancy and honestly had no idea where to start. Thank you!!! 💗💗💗
As a first time mom of an 8mo, 100% agree with everything!
Side note: someone find out where Sarah’s dress is from. I’m obsessed 😍
Same same!! I would love to know too!
I want the same dress too!
12 weeks preggy with my first Bub this is very helpful 😊
Lol I used the same portable white noise machine for maybe 6 months? Went through so many batteries and then I realised baby bunting sell the same 4baby brand one in a wall plug version so it was the same ocean noise we’d got used to. Life changing!
The burp cloths she is referring to are terry towelling baby nappies. I used these as burp cloths too and are amazing! Highly recommend :)
Just ordered from esmi after watching this video, had been debating it but this video was just the ticket. Love your work Sarah, keep it up! ❤️
Currently 26 weeks with my first baby and this video is super helpful!!🥰 Do you have the list of products you mentioned up on a blog so I can refer back to it when shopping?
Love the gown you are wearing and the hair half up 👍 also loving the rocking chair. My kids are grown and teen but still cant miss a video from you💙 need to try all the esmi skincare. Speaking if probiotics I need to order more body bloom! Thanks for the reminder 😉
Not planning on having kids anytime soon but I love your videos and will definitely reference this when we do get ready!
I have been struggling with acne ever since I got out of highschool, and especially during my pregnancy so I am definitely taking advantage of that deal because I NEED to find something that will help my skin because it has been affecting my mental health SO much 😩
so surreal to see her showing the essentials for her second baby boy, still feels like yesterday she was telling Kurt that she was prego with Foxxy.
Currently pregnant with my first. I found this VERY helpful! Thank you!
First time expecting mama here!! Thank you for this video, SO helpful. Could you do a video on like essential creams & must haves for baby? There’s so many products haha
Thank you for the video!! So excited for you and your fam ❤️
That bassinet is amazing! I used it for mine and it’s really really good
I’m currently breastfeeding our second baby but my excessive let down has kind of passed so I don’t need my giant pile of reusable organic cotton breastfeeding pads and so a few of them I have now designated as face cleansing pads! They work like a charm to rinse away cleanser.
Thank you for sharing our DockATot! We can't wait to see your little boy loving it xx
We use cloth nappies and I use wet bags for dirty clothes but sometimes I use them for all clean items! They are the best
I’d looooove a tutorial for the makeup you’re wearing in this video! It’s stunning!!
Love this video! I’m really early in my pregnancy and bingewatch so much pregnancy content. Thank you for sharing your favorites🤎.
For nigh light I highly recommend Glow Dreaming lamp. It's red and green light and white noise all in one lamp. Amazing!
I could listen to you talk about babies and moms all day. I love your kind voice.
I love the Artipoppe baby carriers and wraps, they are super comfortable and look good too.
Our son LOVED the babybjorn bouncer. And as you said, it's very practical. He especially loved it when we flew him around in it🤣🥰
This is the newborn essential holy grail video💜
Any new mums just watch this video
I couldn’t agree more with everything you recommended!! 😀
I’ve been waiting for this video for sooo long. Very helpful info, thanks! Also I would love to know some recommendations of baby supervise camera, high chair, pram, etc. thanks!!!
Love your videos!
Have you read Save Our Sleep Bedding Guide? I've recently discovered it with my 3 month old, and realised I needed to dress him way warmer and have blankets then the recommended Ergopouch charts! Should have a quick peak at it. Changed my babies sleep immensely! Much needed when you have a toddler also for that good night sleep! X
Sarah your hair looks so good like this!!
I recommend as a mom of 2:
Get a few sleepers and onesies in newborn size. I’d say 7-10 in each. They will grow out of it in 2-3 weeks! Don’t buy snap sleepers! They are so difficult to put on a screaming newborn 😓
Get a few items for the new size up!
Shop at the thrift store to save money especially with baby clothes!
Don’t buy any activity anything until baby gets there! Baby will most likely want to be held anyway! Learn what your baby likes before purchasing anything!
Prefold cloth diapers are great for spit up!
It’s also normal to not leak much. I only leaked for the first 2 weeks with each of my babies. I nursed my first for 3 years and now nursing my 11.5 month old! I never really needed the breast pads but definitely have some on hand the first time!
I’m 30 weeks today, this came right in time 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you!
Hey Sezzy, I know this is a long shot, but I saw you are giving away the old rocking chair you used with Fox. It is exactly what I have been on the hunt for. I don’t want this to sound like a sob story but my partner and I have been looking for a second hand one that’s a lot cheaper for us for the longest time. I am 36 weeks plus 3 days and we still have not found one. My partner has his own property maintenance business that is only a few months old so we don’t have much income to spend on baby stuff right now.
We live in Newcastle so I was wondering if you still had it would there be any way you would give it away to us or we could pay a cheap price for it too.
Sorry if this is a weird comment or to close for comfort. I totally understand. But I thought it was worth trying to see if you are interested ❤️
bump !!
How embarrassing, asking for something from a CZcamsr who is never even going to read this.. or care. News flash, she’s not your friend
@@Al-kb2xl how embarrassing for you to be so incredibly rude. Lol. Have some compassion. We all fall on hard times!
@@Al-kb2xl someone’s not happy in life huh, Al?
I am afraid to hear that. If you need, i can give away some baby essential for you, and it is new.
