I’m not even pregnant and I feel overwhelmed by how expensive society makes everything be, especially having babies! But you make it so much more relaxing and attainable, thank you for sharing.

Ashley Colley that’s why people complain and say they don’t want kids, cause they’re „too expensive“. I even was reading in a forum that they bought a new, bigger car so the stroller could fit in. Wow 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

Im expecting my second and Im so glad I found this video. I was on a budget and short on space with my first and I found that my baby list was a lot like yours, no crib, no changing table, etc. I loved multitasking items so I would use my exercise ball to bounce on with baby (instead of a glider), changed baby on the couch/bed/floor with receiving blankets underneath, used a soup thermos filled with hot water as a bottle warmer, and a $7 shower caddy as a diaper caddy that I could move around the house. A baby bath sponge and an inch of water in the tub meant I didnt need a big ol baby bath either. Before baby could roll, he was swaddled in a laundry basket and I would bring him inside the bathroom while I showered lol. My parents thought that was strange lol but it works fine. Moms are so creative and we dont need a million things. As long as baby is fed, safe, and comfortable they will be ok

Absolutely love this too! I'm 9 weeks pregnant tomorrow and live in a one-bedroom apartment. I want to own as few items as possible and thought I needed a changing table, but happy to know I don't! Just wondering if there's no crib, where do you put the baby down for its nap? I actually found gorgeous second-hand woven baskets for around €20 and thought of using that, which you can move around and even bring to outings since we don't own a car and won't be using a car seat! 🤗
@strawburybounce
@strawburybounce 4 года назад
Valises & Gourmandises for naps, I primarily used a kid size Japanese floor futon that my mom has from when I was a baby. Some other ideas are a pack-n-play (great for travel, folds compact for storage, and you can purchase a mattress separately to make it more comfy), a memory foam kitchen mat (you can roll it up after youre done with naps!), baby swing (not necessary but we got one used from a friend) and your bed. A basket is great idea while your baby is still small. After my son gained the ability to roll over, I felt more comfortable placing baby in my bed (peel back your blankets and sheets so baby isnt surrounded by fluffy items) since it is low to the ground and placed body pillows around him as a barrier. This second time around, I will be using a secondhand dock-a-tot for naps and co-sleeping and the pack-n-play. Prob will still utilize the floor for naptime as well. Do what you feel is comfortable and safe for your baby. Congrats on your pregnancy!
@strawburybounce
@strawburybounce 4 года назад
Valises & Gourmandises and absolutely dont need a changing table! I don’t even know why people make them a “musthave” item. Towel/receiving blanket/anything washable that you can spread out underneath is enough to absorb any accidents if they occur. You can easily add them to your wash and it gives you the freedom to change baby anywhere in their house. Most babies have at least a few poop explosions where their backs and onesies get soiled so I wouldnt want to change baby on a precious mat. Just an old towel will do and then immediately into the wash lol!

One essential for me was a lingerie laundry bag for the breast pads. We had a front loader washing machine, and the breast pads were thin enough to slip out of the drum and get caught up in the mechanism of the machine. But even with a top loader, it would be useful to have a laundry bag to put little things in to keep them together and prevent them from getting lost.

lana lyamin so true! 😅 I’m due with my third in May, all girls! Literally the only thing we have bought is a mini crib because new big sister will only be 16 months old and not ready to give hers up, but both will convert to toddler beds then regular beds so they will last. Other than that we are a proud hand-me-down family! Other than that we already have everything we could want/need for a baby and even that is basic! My only absolute MUST HAVE is an automatic rock and play. Worth its weight in gold!

Let people know you're wanting to have just the few items that you actually need and you don't want anything else (it doesn't matter if THEY think you need it) and just tell them what you really need is cash. Then you can buy what you need and have savings left over for baby.

I agree. A lot of the items for babies are a marketing strategy to get parents to buy for their babies... and it works because we all want the best for our baby. Get items that can be used now and as your baby grows older. I think it's best to save the earth and your pocketbook.

Babies don't really need a whole lot. Just something to eat, something to keep warm with, something to potty in, and somewhere to sleep. What that looks like will vary depending on the family, but that's about it as far as needs. And a car seat. Everything else is extra 😉 I do like to have a swing just so I can do other things without baby (like take a shower) and baby is safe. I also like to have something handmade for each baby, those things are just special to have. We are expecting our 7th due in April. The only thing we're buying for baby is some new cloth diapers, because after 6 babies, you can imagine how worn some of our diapers are.
@FarmhouseonBoone
@FarmhouseonBoone 6 лет назад
Totally agree Brandi! Someone else mentioned a bouncer or swing for them to sit in while you're taking a shower. That's a good point!
@carmenc4926
@carmenc4926 6 лет назад
Brandi I’m also due in April, but this will be my first. I’m cloth diapering with prefolds/fitteds and covers mostly. I can’t wait to start that journey. I had a hard time with my registry because I felt so pressured to have certain things and in the end I ended up with a few key pieces for each category you mentioned. We’re not co-sleeping so we added a rock and play for the newborn stage. We still don’t have a crib but if we get one hope to find one our baby can grow with (convertible into twin hopefully). I live in a small house so we’re aiming for minimalism for space saving mostly. I’m still working on overcoming the clutter we have with just two adults and 3 pets.

I’m a novice minimalist we bought a very small house and have 2 boys. We are having our third. And I HATE THINGS laying around everywhere we just don’t have the space and CLUTTER it stresses me out sooo much. I told everyone not to get me toys and a ton of baby gadgets for this baby because we can’t store it and I don’t want to store it I want to be clutter free, baby will just need me for first 6 mos as you said. So one bouncer a carrier car seat stroller we did bye a cosleeper bed and the rest we get as needed I feel so less stressed with this baby then first two. As I said learning to simplify and be minimalist and hoping to get my husband on board but I feel so great about it 😊 thank you for this video

With regards to the high chair my preference is the bumbo with insert and tray which changes for size, is so good at holding them up and then works as a booster seat in the car once they are out of the car seat. My first son and I did a lot of little road trips and I could easily carry it around anywhere and we could just pull over for picnics and he always had a secure spot to sit. Thank you for all your knowledge.

We live in a travel trailer and for our 3rd (and now 4th) child we used a travel bassinet that folds up for the first couple of months since we don't co-sleep and then a pack and play until they outgrow it (between 16-18 months old for my kiddos). It has worked out so well for us. We've never owned a changing table or regular crib and our babies have never had their own room where they didn't share with siblings. We buy only one car seat for each child (so no infant seat) and babywear the littlest one until they graduate to riding in the cart. We have one baby seat so that the baby can watch his siblings play and sit up a little for a change of scenery. Also recently discovered the extra large muslin swaddle blankets and they are amazing! They function as my nursing cover, floor mat for tummy time, travel blanket in the car, and of course a swaddle.

I wished I’d watched this sooner! I’m a first time mom due in 5 weeks and clutter stresses me out. When I saw how much baby stuff I need I got overwhelmed! I’ve also de cluttered and donated clothes. I got it down to very minimal. Skipping crib and got the bassinet/co-sleeper/playard in one instead and going Montessori method from there (floor bed). Skipped infant car seat because I’m petite and on a skinny side and worried I won’t be able to carry the car seat for when he gets heavier anyways. Not buying clothes because I’m pretty sure we’ll get a lot from baby shower. 😱 and probably just go from there. 😁 watching this video made me feel like I’m on the right track!

I am expecting my fifth baby any day now. I love your video and think it is ver self-controled to live so simple. I have to admit I could not do with just white and greay! I love seeing my kids wearing different colors. It just brightens the day. Also I think I enjoy the "hardships" of newborn & baby stage more, when some cute things are around me, just for the sake of their cuteness, not because they are really needed. So even though all you say makes total sense to me, I am glad for all the fun baby stuff I am blessed to have!

Sifting through vids of people buying and buying what I will not, I will check out your other vids! And yes, we cosleep and have with all of our kids! They are alive and well!

Only have one baby but I'd agree with pretty much everything. Only thing I'd really add is a bouncy chair but if you are really committed to baby wearing I suppose it's not necessary. I wore my daughter a lot when she was a newborn but it was nice to have somewhere to put her when she couldn't be worn (eg I was in the shower).

So it was very hard relating the million videos i saw until this one. Been living in UK for a while now and with the amount of stuff they advertise you to buy it’s crazy.

LOVE muslin swaddle blankets! I find them so much more versatile than the smaller flannel ones.

Will someone enlighten me, when you let babies cosleep with you, do you guys put some kind of barrier so you don’t accidentally rolling on them? I guess you can say I’m one of those people who are concerned of risking possibly hurting my baby if I accidentally roll on them. But I wonder, how do you guys remain conscious of your little ones while asleep?

I keep it simple with my babies too. All those cutesy outfits are usually not as soft or comfy as a cotton sleeper onesie. I've had people make comments about taking them in public in baby PJs instead of a dress or baby pants and shirts but really, what baby wants to wear jeans? I wanted to mention I have always kept my babies in bed with me because I nurse all night and it just works. However I had a scare with baby #6, my then 3 year old woke me up because he had to pee and I saw my infant had rolled onto his stomach. I quickly flipped him over and it scared the hell out of me. If my older child hadn't woken me up, something really terrible could have happened. I switched to a bassinet next to me that night. I already had it but it's always just been used for extra baby blankets or my girls put their dolls in it. I love co sleeping but I think sometimes a mom can just be too tired. I'm not telling you, or anyone, what to do. Just sharing my experience.
@jessdodge5177
@jessdodge5177 5 лет назад
Yeah I agree. I co slept a little bit but the first time I realized my exhaustion was too much to ensure the baby would stay put, I decided against it. It's so much easier and safer just to place the baby in a bassinet.

Thank you so much for making this video! We are expecting our baby very soon, and clutter is so so stressful. I feel like this is one of the main reason most parents feel overwhelmed with kids; it's not necessarily the kids but rather the chaotic and disorganized environment they live in. With that being said, thank you for the recommendations! I was also was wondering if you co-sleep with your baby, what do you use in the bed? Like a mosses bassinet? co-sleeping is my preference. I've heard from others this is what they use to sleep with the baby in the bed :) I would be so grateful for your input because people are SO afraid to talk about this and then secretly so many people are co-sleeping with their baby! thank you!!
