What NOT to buy for a newborn baby on a budget 2022 | Baby products I regret buying | Mum of 5 

A change table is very important,it's not just a change table,mine has a bath and then it has storage compartments,those like me who have disabilities it's a god send,we don't have to bend over a bath and be in pain washing our babies.

My baby absolutely loooved bouncer it helped me to get things done while she was in it and also nest did great for us. But agree about everything else

I’m going to be a 1st time mom in August so I don’t have any experience yet but I agree with everything you mentioned including not have a crib. You are so practical! Love it.

If your on a budget and pregnant dont buy any clothes at all, people will give you them out of nowhere and probably more than you need but if not you can still add as you go. If you do buy clothing, go for neutral so you can easily pass it onto another baby of any gender be it your next or someone elses, and get one size up from what your baby wears so it fits longer. Personally i think you actually need almost nothing its more about what you personally prefer to have and what makes things easiest for you personally, thats why everyone has a different suggested list of needs.

Great list! We definitely loved our white noise machine but I agree on just about everything else. Expecting #2 soon so I was trying to do a refreshing on what we actually need and what we don’t

I'm expecting my first soon (though I do have some baby experience from my little brother but that was a while ago) and I think I agree with most of the things mentioned. I did get a baby bath seat (not a tub), just to help hold the head above water and supposedly if someone puts a blanket on it, it can double as a supervised temporary lounger if I ever do feel the need to use one. For my little brother, a rocker was a huge asset for us because as he grew more motor skills, he actually preferred to control the bottle himself even as young as 4 months old and for some reason he'd have an easier time with that in the rocker , so eventually we learned to just put him in the rocker with the bottle and let him do his thing - supervised the entire time of course, and with the "rocking" motion turned off so effectively just a lounger. For shoes and cutesy clothes, absolutely agree and I wasn't planning on getting any, but that didn't stop my mother from buying us some lol. I haven't bought a baby gate but we do live in a 2-story home and we're mostly on the second floor, so I'll probably need one at least for the stairs.

I didn't plan on using a changing table but one was gifted to us and we actually still use it for our 1 yr old. Some of these things we had and I liked, but I definitely could have lived without. Except the baby lounger/nest. We LOVED it. Bought a $40 one on Amazon and baby used it as long as it was safe (she couldn't roll her face into the sides). Thanks for this video! A good reminder while I'm preparing for baby #2.

I love honest reviews 💙💙💙

I agree on a lot of these items. 4 babies here and they don’t really need much. I must say though that the white noise machine did help my last bub settle at night so I’ll be definitely using that for number 5.

1. Diaper genie 2. Diaper bag (honestly a wet bag or packing cube thrown in your purse is sufficient. Don't give up your cute purses ladies!) 3. Receiving blankets 4. Wipe warmer 5. Rash creams (coconut oil is magic!) 6. Baby nail clippers (use a file way less scary lol) Just a few things I've come to learn i could of lived without lol

I agree with you in everything u said..amazing video🙂

Great video! Could you make a video on how to shower a baby without a baby bathtub? I don't find a lot of ideas on RU-vid. Specially on how to hold the baby in the shower. I don't have space for a baby bathtub but I'm super scared if dropping the baby in the shower

Can I add my own “don’t bother buying” item? Those stupid nappy disposal systems! The cartridges are so expensive, and I found they didn’t really eliminate the odor anyway.

Nice

Where do you put your baby when you have a shower ? Cause you said you don’t use a bouncer seat. That was the only reason I wanted to get a bouncer lol
