    FINALLY!!!! Someone who gives actual practical advice and not just aesthetically pleasing baby stuff. If you’re having a baby and what to know EXACTLY what you need, this video is it. I’m having my second baby and I’ve watched a lot of videos and everyone recommend all these cute stuff that you’ll end up not needing or just taking up space. Save yourself the hassle and headache and just watch this video a couple of times and make your baby list. You’re welcome

    as a NICU nurse, your points are 100% accurate! in the NICU if you can’t afford a crib or bassinet and pack n play is recommended since it does it all and it is safe. i love how you hit the main basics you need to keep your baby safe. great video!!!

  • @nicolepaigelilly

    I'd just like to add to this by saying getting some things secondhand is perfectly ok and also to keep and reuse things if you plan on having more kids. Not everything has to be brand new such as a stroller/ travel system or even a crib or baby swing as long as they are good condition of course.

    @sogno_di_carta6430 Před 3 lety +12

    All the items on this list are spot on, except, in my opinion, a baby monitor. I had my baby sleep in my room for a long time, I mean lonnnng time. I do realize not all mothers are okay with that, so it’s nice to have something they can watch the baby from across the house. However, I still feel that if you are a mom on a budget, leave the monitor for the toddler years and have your baby in your room for as long as you can handle it.
    Both my husband and I loved the idea of knowing our son was with us during the night. Nothing can be safer. He slept in his crib and we in our bed, in the same room. And nothing would beat that for us. The fear of having someone break in the house (it can happen to any one in any neighborhood) and knowing our son was with us in our room was very comforting and we could go to sleep and forget about the world.
    But if you want to have your baby in his own room I do see it as a must. I guess what I mean is if you are on a budget, why have your baby in his own room? You’ll have to spend more money on gadgets and things. Just keep him in your room for as long as it is possible.
    Also, if you look into it, it has been said that children have more confidence when they co-sleep with their parents. Co-sleeping is also sleeping in separate beds but in the same room. So it’s not like you are being a bad parent if you don’t have your child in his own room.

    • @alexagg7640
      @alexagg7640 Před 3 lety +1

      I totally agree with you I CANNOT ,CANNOT understand how can anyone sleep peacefully with their baby in another room. Even with the best monitor. I have my baby sleep in his crib next to our bed at all times. I'm scared to have him sleep with us, otherwise he would.

    As a first time mom in a neighborhood with doctors and lawyers and feeling pressured to buy expensive aesthetic newborn items (but definitely NOT able to buy them)... Thank you! Your video validates my thoughts that simple, practical items are best. My house is old and not a modern "open floor plan" so lots of walls and corners that make it feel small. SO MUCH baby stuff would make the house unusable because there just isn't room for 1 of everything.

      We also bedshare and use a free white noise app on an old cellphone or mini ipad. Now at 12 months, i make a whitr noise aound to signal nap ot
      Bedtime and he starts rubbing his face as a sleepy cue...and it does drown out traffic noise, phone and conversation right outside the room.

    Almost didn't get any breast pump, but last minute got the silicone one, and it was a highly used item just to save leaking milk during feedings. I could get a whole feedings worth of milk just because it was leaking. Never knew that could have even happened! Oh totally agree about sound machine, saved us for the period of time our baby was using it. He doesn't need it anymore, but it helped so much.

    This has been 9-years ago, but with our first grandchild we Googled reviews on all the car seats & strollers. Purchased the Chico brand of carrier & car seat. Daughter loved the idea of not waking the baby transferring him from the car to the stroller. It also transitioned well when he was old enough to sit up. It was easy to open & close, but it took both hands to put in the car and was a bit heavy. The one item I purchased for our home was the Chico high chair. It’s all a venal type of material and cleans easily. Has adjustable heights in the legs, feet and can lounge if they were too young to eat with us, but we still wanted him at the table beside us. It has a high back with adjustable locking straps. Four grand children later, it has held up extremely well. The locking wheels make it easy to move around and the removable plastic cover on the tray makes for easy cleanup. My husband thought it was expensive, but I think for the $145 we paid for it has been well worth it.

    @Squintina Před 2 lety +3

    Currently 6mo pregnant with my first child and trying to go for a "must have" setup because we want to start on her education fund right away so every cent saved is important. A few years ago we moved many states away from our family, so most of the things we have to get ourselves since we won't have a baby shower. So far we have:
    - Convertible car seat (all the way to booster seat). No mirror because based on our lifestyle (one WFH mom, one stay-at-home dad) there shouldn't be a reason to drive often and when it happens we should be able to have one parent in the back.
    - Used crib & leak proof mattress. Crib has multiple heights so there is a bassinet setting. A few crib covers.
    - A noise machine that is also a dim nightlight (so we can have a bit of light during nighttime feedings)
    - An alphabet crawling foam mat. Can be used as a secondary sleeping surface when baby doesn't know how to crawl yet, and planning on using it for some tummy time activities. Can put baby fence around it later to convert into a playpen area, and will be great as a room "rug" for when she's a toddler learning her abc's.
    - Adjustable cloth diapers (mama koala) and 2 wet bags.
    - Soft microfiber washcloths bulk packs (for burping, bathing, etc... )
    - A bulk box of baby wipes. To be used while we get used to the amount of laundry for the diapers and washcloths.
    - A cheap bulk set of multiple small plastic bins. To be filled with a few clean diapers/cloths/wipe packs and we can place each bin in multiple rooms.
    - "Travel" changing mat, to use on top of our bed, sofa, or crawl mat because no changing table. Packs into a bag so can easily take from one room to another.
    - Clothes and bath towels from thrift shops so a mix of things. Most clothes/towel items are only $1 to $3.50 !! I might buy a few of the zipper onesies new just because so far I haven't been lucky enough to find those at the thrift store.
    - Foam bath mat.
    - A kit with thermometer, clippers, etc...
    - Baby wash
    - A few bottles and pacifiers. No point in buying too many until she gets to try the few we have so we can see which ones she likes.
    - A few toys that weren't expensive ( under 10 bucks)
    - Planning to breastfeed/pump but one box of formula just in case we have issues at first with either production or latching.
    - Breast pump system prescribed by obgyn, so it can be covered by insurance.
    We've spent around $700 so far and I think I've covered all the newborn necessities.
    Not bought yet, but will:
    - Stroller. Planning to wait until she's at least 3 months so I can buy one at a thrift store and not worry if the model can do newborn or not.
    Under consideration:
    - a babycot to be used as a bassinet/lounger. Not to be used without supervision. Alternatively, a bouncer/rocker.
    - a nested bean swaddle. Since we saved so much, might splurge on these, but waiting to see how fussy of a sleeper she ends up being first.

  • @Empathy-and-resilience

    Things I regret buying: stroller, bottles, monitor, and crib. Don’t use any because my baby sleeps with or on me, hates her stroller, and does not need to be monitored bc she’s ALWAYS with me 😩 I bought so much “sleep stuff” because I was so sleep deprived when she was sleeping away from me. What I ended up needing: car seat, blooming baby (no tub needed), wrap/sling/ergobaby, zipper sleepers, muslin cloths, terry cloths, sound machine, bumbo for 6+ months, and that’s it lmao. We really are inundated with waaay too much in baby market-always preying on insecure ftp. All our babies want is closeness and attachment.

    • @FlawlesZMa
      @FlawlesZMa Před rokem

      I tjong its natural for the baby to sleep close to the mom anyway it’s only in the west we try to force our babies to sleep alone and later in their own room. I’m pregnant and thinking about what to do myself. I want to buy a bedside crib/bassenett right next to me and wait to buy the real crib. I am only unsure if it’s safe to sleep with the baby so close and my husband or me maybe moving when sleeping. How do you do it? Is the baby sleeping next to you only and not in between and if on you how can you sleep good? I always sleep on the side

    • @thedivasvoice880
      @thedivasvoice880 Před 26 dny +1

      Coming from a former Children’s Social Worker, Just be sure not to role over on baby, that blanket or pillows won’t accidentally cover baby’s face. When baby begins to move around, baby won’t role off of the bed or when baby can only role on one side but not able to role back and is stuck with their face in the pillow or mattress. This is the reason no blankets, toys or pillows are recommended to be in a crib. When sleeping in your bed, baby is surrounded by blankets and pillows. SIDS is real.

    This is such a good video! After having my first I realized that babies need a lot less than what you would think! My favorite newborn must haves that are not on this list are the Fridababy line of products for grooming etc, especially the windi. They’re simple and cheap and keep the baby and you so happy. That is the only thing I would add to this list. Everything else is either up to preference or not all that important.

    IKEA was my go to for so many things, simply because they were so inexpensive. The high chair is awesome (and only $20). They have a great crib selection which are all very well priced, at least better priced than most of the big box stores. Chest of draws, the malm series in particular, are super affordable and last long term (plus serve as a great changing table in the early days). The only place I think it’s worth splurging is a crib mattress and perhaps the car seat. But, everything else, I’m a big fan of going cheap and/or going used. I definitely think buying a stroller used makes a ton of sense. I got my stroller used and it was half the price of new and barely used. With the exception of a few key things, so many things you use for such a short time that to doesn’t make sense to spend a ton of money. I would recommend Eufy monitors for a non-WiFi video monitor. I love mine, and I love it’s not hooked into my WiFi. Great practical video.

    I own my own childminder business and all we use for our babies are the IKEA high chairs! It’s my absolute favourite because most importantly it’s easy to clean as there’s no fabric, no funny gaps or anything you can literally hose it down, we also use them with our 6 month olds through to our 2 year olds, it comes apart really easily and there’s buckles to clip the babies in. We’ve got about 10 of them and I’d never buy anything else

    My bedroom is small and a crib would not have fit beside my bed, I love my halo bassinest for my son, used it til he was 6 months old as I wanted him to sleep in our room for the first 6 months and then we put him in his crib at 7 months and used the snuggle me organic lounger inside his crib. I am expecting another baby boy next week and will be using the halo again as it was super convenient for me:) its just about personal preference and I absolutely loved it and got use out of it for sure

    love this video, so down to earth! I worked as a babysitter for a couple of families, the first one had one baby and the second had triplets, they were on a budget, so they only had cribs, car seats, stroller, high chairs later on and just a few toys. I mean it is possible to raise children without all the items influencers advertise. Than of course I might splurge for my baby, just because many items make things easier especially if you don't have a babysitter at all times, but don't feel bad if you can’t afford everything, your baby will be fine.

      @@k.k.k.k.k.k.k.ke. lol. Get cheaper ones. I think the most expensive thing that a parent on a budget will get is the stroller. Try getting a set of stroller and car seat. Also you don’t have to get a stroller that converts to a bassinet. My son was fine with his britax, the set cost $600, you get car seat with base, and stroller. But there are other sets for like $400 that are good. So you can definitely go cheaper.
      Buy an IKEA crib, is only $100 and it will do the same function as any other for hundreds more.
      Highchair graco for $80. I love that highchair.
      The portable chair, there are way cheaper ones than the one shown here, for like $40 bucks.
      You will definitely need a bathtub for the baby, and also a fisher price bathtub is super good and not expensive. I used all of these items with my first boy.

    I love my baby wrap!!! I used my wrap with my toddler well into her first year. I stopped using it when I got pregnant closer to her 2 year mark but walks were spectacular. She would nap in it. I was able to wash dishes and eat, etc and still have her close to me. The baby wrap went from front carrying to back carrying so from newborn well into toddlerhood. I love it. I have a KeaBabies baby wrap

    Best stroller ever in my experience is a BOB. It's light for a jogger, compared to others. They're super easy to push. It will work on any terrain.
    A carrier is a life saver. While you're out or in the house and need to do anything around the house. If you want a wrap check out k'tan. Don't have a bunch of wrapping to do. First time using a wrap or carrier feed and change baby first then put in the carrier or wrap. Don't waste your money on a B'jorn. They don't have babies hips in the right place as they get bigger.

      @@ellieortmann7180 I've tried a few different ones and it's by far my favorite. When I had my second I sold my single jogger then got the double. Still light compared to others. My kids are 6&3. My 6 year to ld doesn't need it too often but my 3 year old still will and we have a baby due in July so it will get used for several more years.

      @Emma Hawke If you run a lot it's worth the investment. I know they can be slightly expensive but they don't compare to any other jogger. I've ran with a few different joggers and most were difficult to run with. The Bob out preformed all others. I recommend saving up or seeing if you can get a used one off Market place.
