got a pack of 16 newborn mamas and papas vests for £6 on vinted! got my mamas and papas ocarro travel set for £150 too on marketplace. getting everything second-hand!! saved so much money

@ZaraKhan-fk2cg Год назад

I’m 3 months pregnant with my first baby! And this is soooo helpful because as a first time mum you’re so overwhelmed when you go to the baby section in shops or like mamas and papas and you just don’t know what you need! Thank you ❤

@xanthehicks7013 Год назад

Good for you, not justifying yourself on your feeding choices - you shouldn’t have to! I would absolutely recommend going to a breastfeeding class if you can before baby girl comes. I have had a really positive experience so far (first time mum of a nearly two month old) because I felt more prepared! It is hard at the beginning but if you can push through the difficult times it will get so much easier! ❤

@Amyloushetty Год назад

Which BF classes did you do? x

@JasmineStrongman Год назад

Absolutely agree with you. I have a 7 month old and I did the same. We also had so many issues breastfeeding but I pushed through because it meant so much to me. Lactation consultants are literal angels.

@JasmineStrongman Год назад

@@Amyloushetty hi sorry to reply when this wasn’t asked but I did a course with Kathryn Stagg from the lactation corner, I highly recommend. She is a lovely LC, her partner Miriam Feen is a literal Angel she was the only one who latch my baby on without nipple shield. She is a massive reason I can BF my baby

@laurap8177 Год назад

Kathryn's online class is great! Another good one is Eat Feed Speak xx

@emmataylor2748 Год назад

when my little one was born he never wore what we call 0000 which is newborn size, we went straight to 000 which is 0-3 months because he was 4.3kg and 55cm. But I found I was fine with 7 vests and 8-10 zippy suits. He was a summer baby so it was easy to get stuff washed and dry before running out of clothes for him!

@yelena_yelena Год назад

frm comming August. in my ideal world a white noise machine should be with cry sensor, but i didnt know it really exists untill this ur video! so helpful and much appreciated!!!! thank you! 😊

@samgeorgesunny Год назад

Great video. Just to say to any expectant parents of their first baby watching this, try not to buy too much in advance. My son is 18 months old and has only vomited once in his life and his nappy has never leaked at night. This has meant we haven’t needed any muslin cloths, only 2 cribs sheets etc and just generally a lot less ‘spares’ of everything. Also until we started weaning, he also was able to stay clean for the day so didn’t need lots of changes of clothes. Easily could of had half the amount of stuff we purchased during my pregnancy 🙈

@HomeWithShan Год назад

Such a good point!! I think we all want to be as prepared as possible, but really until our baby is here and we know their ways, it’s hard to know what you’re actually going to end up using!! 🙈

@mollymullin6419 Год назад

as a mum of 2 under 2 I personally had two completely different experiences with each of my babies, my first has still never to this day soiled a bed sheet and yet my youngest goes through around 3 a week. I assumed there was no need to have more than 2 of everything bedding related with my second baby and I was proven wrong from day one! in short, bed sheets are not expensive and it is better to have too much rather than too little

@sh3ll3y1990 Год назад

I have an 8 month old and we have had the complete opposite experience! So much puke and many poo explosions. We still didn't buy that much though and instead just did his washing every 2 days so it never piled up too much and now he's on solids the puke and leaks are less frequent thank goodness!

@jenniferr3603 Год назад

If you’re planning to breastfeed, I would recommend buying a breast pump and some milk storage bottles/bags. However wait until after baby is born, to see if breastfeeding is something you wish to do first, as breast pumps can be expensive! I was able to trial an electric breast pump from the maternity wing after giving birth and then bought a breast pump when we got home, so it’ll be worthwhile seeing if your local health services have a breast pump you can trial. My baby had a tongue tie which made latching difficult, so being able to express milk really helped us with our breast feeding journey, as I exclusively expressed in the beginning and fed via bottle, then once the tongue tie was resolved, we moved to feeding directly from the breast. Although baby is able to successfully breast feed now, I still regularly express milk, as it means dad can feed baby the milk with a bottle if I need a break. Good luck!

@chloeprender Год назад

The avionaut pixel pro infant car seat is the safest on the market. Bit more than your budget if you want the isofix base too (we don't use it, it's just as safe without) Its so lightweight but provides an excellent fit for tiny babies and my high centile 16 month old still fits in it. It uses the same adaptors as maxi cosi too so will fit on your pram with the same adaptors :) Genuinely wouldn't use anything else x

@CE-rg5mh 3 месяца назад

I really love your channel, I find it overwhelming trying to put a list together and understand the things I need to buy. This simplifies things so much, plus the links are super helpful. The tips too, especially a microwave steriliser as opposed to the plug ins. I find your advice practical and logical. Thank you 🎉

@wendystorm2209 Год назад

My 2nd boy is now 18 months. My recommendations are rascal and friends nappies and wipes (found in tesco). I use a natural nappy cream from queen bee naturals. (Can be used all over the body for excema, dry skin, craddle cap, etc ) Using this combo my wee man has never had a red bum. I bought metanium for emergency and have never used it. Also a must have for me is silly billyz bibs. They are so absorbant and wash and wash. My first had severe reflux and my second is such a bribbler. And the bibs are still going strong and washed every week. Hope these help someone. So looking forward to watch your journey with baby number two. ❤

@Tariachan Год назад

It's funny how different things are for different people, we have literally never put the car seat onto the buggy, we found out kind of superfluous. I would get the buggy out of the car and unfold it, pop the basinet on and then take baby out of the car seat and into the basinet. Also my baby LOVED the basinet. Much more so than the restricted car seat. And it gave piece of mind regarding sleep and the risks of that. So for all first time mums: my recommendation would be to get something cheap of marketplace and try it out when baby is here, to see what you like and what baby likes. And then you can always splurge on the expensive travel system when baby a few weeks old and sell the other one!

Hi, aww I'm 30 weeks pregnant I have 10 kids already and even I feel like I've forgotten what we need... My youngest is nearly 5 so I've not had a gap as such before... This video is making me want to go upstairs through all what I have got so far because I don't feel we've much. I did manage to get a second hand pram off my friend which has saved us loads... I'm with you on lots of vests and babygrows... George at Asda is really good for kids clothes.... I've always had a Moses basket for mine but tempted to get a next to me or a snuzpod... I agree with newborn socks they never stay on do they haha and if baby is in a grow anyway no need for them xx

@deannalee2178 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely love this video! Honestly the best recommendation video I’ve watched - second baby is due soon and trying to refresh my memory. Bizzigrowing baby carries look amazing and so glad I hadn’t yet purchased the more expensive one after seeing so many mamas with them!! 🥺

@luc.tazmin.95 Год назад

Highly highly recommended Joie I-level signature!!! Its one of only few car seats that can lay flat in the car as well as the pram xx

@laurab4868 Год назад

Vinted is great for baby clothes, you can get so much new with tags. I also find if you have a summer baby you aren’t going to need long sleeved bodysuits and if you have a winter baby you won’t use short sleeved bodysuits. I wouldn’t pre buy dummies either as not all babies take to them, I brought about 10+ dummies and have never used them 😅 I’ve breastfed my son for over a year, would 100% recommend having a formula in the cupboard for just incase so it’s just takes the pressure off yourself. Silver nipple shields as other people have mentioned I would also recommend, they saved my nipples! I also brought a cheap breast pump off Amazon it was about £30 but works a dream and I don’t think you need to buy an expensive pump! Maternity bras are another but I wouldn’t get the ones that clip I’d get the ones that are like V shaped that you can just quickly pull out your boob.

@jade-eo8hu Год назад

Just a few things I think to add(if you want) if your breastfeeding then maternity bras/pad inserts for leakage Breast pump Freezer milk bags (for any extra milk so not wasted)

@scarlettb562 Год назад

Good for you for trying breastfeeding. Buy silverette cups. An investment but 100% worth it. Good luck x

@Jo4167 Год назад

Oooh last thing. I would personally get the babyzen buggy board if you’re using it with the yoyo. It will be tested on that pram and work better than the one you’ve linked. The lascal is ok but I find it bulky to store and a bit of a pain to fit xxx

Highly recommend the recaro baby car seat. It's a little more expensive but it's such good quality, its extended rear facing for safety and is just so practical, which is definitely a must with having 2! We did have to get an adapter to be able to use it woth our silver cross chassis though but it wasn't expensive at all. Good luck with the search!

@Jo4167 Год назад

Car seats, cybex cloud z is fab, can be heavy as baby gets bigger as the actual car seat has some weight to it due to its functions. Not sure if you can get britax adaptors but they have a new lie flat one too. If you don’t really need one that reclines the Nuna pipa lite js highly recommended x

@clodaghevans2938 Год назад

I know you probably get so much "advice" so always do what you think is best. I breastfeed both my kids but we had struggles in the early days, latching weight gain etc. Can I just suggest you go ahead and buy a small pack of bottles/ formula/ premade formula because its always in the middle of the night when breaking point comes and it's something then you can fall back on for a feed and then after an hours sleep you can be ready to face breastfeeding again.

@emmadudley-smith6165 Год назад

Hey lovely, great to see another video of helpful tips ❤️ We've got a cybex cloud z car seat, honestly, the best purchase. Our daughter is 17 months and still fits in it, we put it on the pram all of the time and is super helpful if she falls asleep in the car as we just take her out in the car seat. As it lasts so long, I think it's well worth the money and we are keeping it for if we are ever lucky enough to have another baby! Thanks for the video, see you again soon! ❤

We sold on new in original wrapping what we didn't want and made most of our money back. Now on baby 2 we will reuse and put baby 1 in the all the way car seat and baby 2 in the baby seat, meaning we only have tiny purchases to make this time round.

maybe it's something with my amazon, but the baby monitor isn't cheap for me. On the link you posted it's 169 dollars with 75 dollars import fees. If I search the same monitor on the English amazon, it's almost £400. Not sure what's going on.

Technically true, but I tended to just sterilise them all at the end of the day in one go in a cold water steriliser, I found it easier than doing them in the microwave and faffing with putting the water in each of the bottles!
