If you’re having an issues with your baby throwing food or plates, try to serve your child less food and give them more once they finish the first plate. It’s easy for children to o get overwhelmed when they have too much food on the plate. That’s one of the best tips I was given with my first son. We almost never had a problem with him throwing food afterwards
This is the first of these types of videos that had the couple reviewing together! It also helps that you’re down to earth and not super posh. Loved it. Especially the pee pee tee pee.
My baby is obsessed with the Dockatot too. I put off buying it earlier because I was worried it would be a waste of money. My only regret is not having it from day dot. Oh and that he’s almost grown out of it at 3 months. 0-8 months... lies 🤣
@@lauraterry4558 my baby is six months and is about to grow out of it (she’s pretty small) but she won’t sleep without it and trying to train her to is almost impossible so now we’re getting the toddler size 🤦🏼♀️
My son got so many blankets when he was born, he never got the chance to use them all. When he outgrew the smaller blankets I sewed them together and made a big blanket for him to snuggle in (he was like 18 months old by then)
I feel pretty lucky that I haven't bought any items that I regret. My baby stopped liking the swing pretty early but I got it second hand so I only spent 40 bucks on it. Our bassinet only lasted a month but again I chose a cheaper one for our registry bc I knew we wouldn't use it for long. We've gotten a lot of second hand baby clothes which is perfect for quarantine life since we don't go out much anyway. I think not springing for anything super expensive has worked out well for us tbh
Another thing to keep in mind about the wipe warmer is that over time the heat and liquid can be great breeding grounds for bacteria, so if theres a secondary warmer in your house that you use less frequently I'd make sure they don't sit for too long without being used
@@RnBFam no problem! This also applies to wipes set aside in the car, over time as it sits in the car when it gets overheated in here it can grow bacteria as well,, I always kept a pack of wipes in my glove box but after a while they turned bad and I didn't notice until I needed them next lol,, love the video! Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy
I just kept looking at him thinking he looks familiar....who does he look like? Then I read your comment and realised yeah that’s right he looks like Sinbad, only to read on further Sinbad’s his dad or my gosh I couldn’t believe it. They are twins 😆😆😆😆.
We just had our son 2 weeks ago. I told everyone gift cards are best, so we can wait to see what he likes or needs. Saved us + everyone so much time and money.
I have so many mittens and swaddles that I've never used once. Also, I love buttons on onesies, because the zipper ones only zip on one side, so I'm stuffing a squirmy leg in a full-length pj set...such a pain!
I'm a mom of 3. I was laughing and agreeing with all your points except the blankets/swaddles. Babies get messier as they grow. Spilling food, milk, pee, poop, throw up etc. We can go thru a few blankets a day sometimes. However, I think don't keep too many hot blankets and go for medium weight/ warmth for year round use.
So for the wipe warmer I thought everyone knew that you can’t put the wipes directly in it. You’re supposed to buy the like sponge thing that goes in first so that sponge is what you wet and then the wipes go on top. And the wipes never dry out. You just need to re wet the sponge every week or whenever it starts feeling dry
The blankets!!!!! Omg soooooo many of them!!!!!! I also hated those mittens, BUT they have a certain teething mitten that has silicon on the end so they can chew on. That was a life saver!! Love your videos!!
Agreed on the mamaroo, my son hated it 🤦🏾♀️ newborn clothes and diapers were a no for us since he came out at almost 9 lbs. Surprisingly we love our wipe warmer but another no go for us was the owlet 😩
This is so helpful for new parents! It's so hard because every baby and parent is so different. My daughter HATED being swaddled so never used them. Also, they have baby clothes that close with magnets now too! We also used the bassinet on our Uppababy stroller more than a separate one - we even used it inside the house sometimes. For all the extra things we had, we made sure to donate it to family or to others in need in our community.
The diaper genie is amazing, but once they start eating solids and the poop is stronger then it’s a different story haha. In the beginning it’s nice since you’re changing so many diapers but as they get older and only poop a couple times a day we just walk them out.
This was the cutest video ever ! You guys play off each other’s thoughts so well ! Loved this video cus i had a bunch of stuff that i honestly didn’t need for my son either 🤣🤣🤣
My sister actually told me to just get 1 or 2 newborn sizes and I thought it was weird 😂 turned out she was right. Our little big guy never fit in the newborn size! Now with number 2 being a boy as well and being already bigger then average we skipped the size completely. Except for my mom she bought the only newborn onsie. Because she wanted something tiny 😂
I didn’t ask for or buy the mamaroo at first because of mixed reviews but he tried it twice at a friends house and loved it so we bought a used one and it saved our lives! Try before you buy!! The next baby could always love what baby #1 hated too 😅
I loved my diaper genie so much. Just need to make sure you keep the lid down and change it when it gets full. I really don't think I regretted buy anything because I babysat when I was younger and helped raise my niece from 3 day old to 15 yrs old.
I have to say with the blankets... My first was born in January in North Dakota, and I used a TON of blankets. My second was born in August in Kentucky, and I used like two. Lol.
If you live in area where there is cold weather, blankets are nice for car. Nice to have some to cover baby when when walking from car to inside. Also, nice to wrap over car seat for warmth. Nice to have small blankets for emergency diaper changes. Can use blanket for car changes. We used lots of baby blankets
Good video guys! Some info, Adding water to the wipe warmer can allow bacteria to grow.. do research and you will see. I seen so many pictures online of mold on the wipes and or bottom of the warmer so after doing our research we figure out it was just better not getting the wipe warmers. Also the mamaroo I purchased one that was still brand new looking and working like brand new for $60 used from a family that there kid hated it and my son loves it! I got the cheaper version that only rocks back and forth because we did read many reviews online that back and forth movement was more natural and babies are more ok with that one than with the fancy expensive mamaroo, another thing is that with the cheaper version it’s less chances of breaking because less moving parts.
Lol we got a diaper genie.... for our cats. We throw the bags of litter in there and throw it out with the rest of the trash once a week. And it WORKS. Now we are going to try cloth diapers so we wont be using it too much for baby diapers but we assume if we do, its gonna be ok if we keep using it for both uses. Lol just keep the lid down! Also, the BIGGEST plus for us using the diaper genie is keeping flies away. We live in an area where trash is a fly magnet. The diaper genie worked MIARACLES keeping them away!
I thought my baby didn’t like the momaroo at first but turned out he likes the higher speed instead of the low and now he loves being in the swing ! Mittens were great for us because baby was born in October & anytime we go out we fold over the sleeper hand covers and put the mittens on top ! They never come off that way.
I agree with you guys on the wipe warmers. I absolutely love them. It’s especially helpful if you have a little boy because sometimes cold wipes will make babies want to pee and then they will end up peeing on you while you are trying to clean them up. Thanks for the video. You both are great!
I love the diaper genie too actually; friends warned me it was a gimmick but that thing really works! Wipe warmer never got used, good idea but my baby didn’t care and hated changes no matter what. And clothes, we were so blessed to get a million clothes bc ppl love buying baby stuff, but I wound up having to donate a bunch of them never used bc they grow so fast!
A changing table, I just end up changing my kids diapers wherever I am at the time. I still have it because it was a dresser as well but now the dresser is falling apart so I regret getting that.
When he starts peeing a lot at night you should set up his crib with sheets. Then put down puddle pads and put another set of sheets. He will eventually pee through his diaper at night and get the sheets wet. When you are changing him in the middle of the night all you have to do is take up the wet sheets and you will have dry ones ready to go. I wasn’t a fan of Huggies but they had better nighttime diapers. Or just put 2 diapers on him. When you have your next baby he or she might like some of the stuff your baby isn’t fond of. The baby bumbo seat is a must have. I have 4 kids and I loved that thing. Also, basic infant bath tubs are all you need but buy something like the summer infant comfy bath sponge. Get at least 2 of them. They are maybe $10 but you can lay the baby on them and use both of your hands to wash the baby. Luvs were my favorite diapers and they were less expensive than the other major brands. Just remember that all babies are different.
I'm glad I watched this video and a couple other videos before buying the Mamaroo, I thought it was cool and a nice invention but wasn't sure if it was worth it because it's over $200
My tip for new parents would be to set up a college or savings account and have friends and family members put money in those accounts instead of birthday and Christmas gifts especially when they are young. When they are old enough don’t just hand them the money, have them earn it by doing chores or matching money that they have saved.
We used the Ubbi diaper pail and it was awesome. The smell did kind of linger, but we would take lemon peel and some mint oil (not essential oil) and put at the bottom. (We use a lot of lemons in my house for cooking and baking). So the smell wasn’t as bad. We would clean the container once we a week and replace. Worked really well for us, and didn’t have to buy all the replacements for the diaper genie.
I agree with the mittens Also if anyone got that electric nail file off Amazon, my nurse said not to use it on babies, use an Emory board. I have the wipe warmer and love it never dried out my diapers (condensation kept them wet) if you leave the lid open yes it will dry out (the ones at the top) . I have a diaper trash only downfall is that it comes with its own bags you gotta buy bags for it when you run out but it does keep the smell out. Fisher price brand makes good stuff I've noticed i have their diaper bag.
Love watching you both! I am due in April with my first baby and I found your videos a few weeks ago. Keep them coming! You both are soooo adorable and hilarious!
1 thing I noticed my 1st born was introduced to SWING 4-6 week she was complaining But my 2nd was in it from day 2 n she loved it I'll see what baby 3 will do Wipes on the radiator was the best warmer n so the baby mat so its not cold Babies hated swaddling
The skiphop baby bath was bought for our baby as a gift. Hands down, it's been one of the best things anyone could've bought us. We use it every day with her and it works a charm. I couldn't really understand your explanation as to why it didn't work for you, but each to their own!
We love the diaper genie too! We tried the Ubbi diaper pail and couldn't stand it. It got super stinky right away, and it's not just the diapers that got stinky, the stink permeated the pail and it just flat out stinks when empty. The wipe warmer we could do without. It seems like it dries the wipes out quite a bit and the wipe gets cold quick once it's pulled.
Gooooddddd just my grand MIL bought us EIGHT jumbo boxes of newborn diapers plus some other people buying us jumbo boxes and small boxes and my husband and I were only in new borns for 1-2 months...
me too on the diaper genie and wipe warmer! my daughter is 2 months and the diaper genie is great!! and if i didnt have the wipe warmer shed just cry and cry the whole time im wiping her 😳😳 she HATES cold wipes
OMG the mamaroo for me too! They had it at hospital and said he loved it while he was in the nursery, so we bought it on the way home, he hated it! But now he climbs in it and he's about 22-25lbs and almost 2 years old. Smh! So regret that purchase!
Love the video! My son is just a couple months older than Jalen so we definitely had some similar experiences. Agree on the mittens- we ended up just using socks. We also had a diaper genie which we loved at first but it broke :( so I’d maybe get a different kind of diaper pail next time. Other regrets we had: - Nanobebe bottles; great in theory but after we switched to formula they were pretty useless and sometimes hard to seal correctly to make sure they didn’t leak. - Dock a tot; loved this actually but wish we purchased earlier. We were late to the game so only got a few months out of it. - Baby bullet; it’s such a cute set but we already had a full size ninja bullet and it worked a lot better than the baby version, so now it kinda just takes up space. Also the containers are not dishwasher safe so can be a pain to clean. - Teething mits; our baby hated these & pulled them off! Liked the banana teether & teething tube much better.
I put a wipe over my son’s peepee while i change him and it has never failed me! also idk why people don’t listen at the baby shower when you say don’t only buy ones! loll
My daughter loved her swing! I will skip on thr large newborn one next time and just get the fisher price take along! So compact, cordless and we used it for the first 6 months
For us the swing, having too many small diapers definitely the onies with buttons awful and we had some many bottles that out one kid never used he hated them all. Lol. Great video and advice.
My baby loves the swing lol we converted ours to a wall plug in. They got me messed up thinking I'm buying batteries lol 😆 it took awhile for her to get used to it. she really started enjoying it at the 2 to 3 month marker
girl you can never have to many blankets. I'm a blanket hoarder though. 🤣🤣 my kid got alot of home-made blankets from thr family. they are all about sewing
Ok you gave me an idea. I need to return all my baby dishes.. none of them have suction and they’re all munchkin!!! Thankfully I didn’t open them yet!! To target I go!!!
I can tell you from my experience as a mom of two and someone who has worked as an infant caregiver, they need to fall asleep in the crib. Every baby is different, but a pacifier, wearable sleep sack, white noise, and sometimes just being where they can see you and even touch you can all help. They key is to make them feel secure and safe in their bed. Once they feel their bed is a safe place, you'll be ok. Also be aware that little babies don't understand that your nearby if they can't see you which is why you might need to be physically in the room until they nod off. Its called object performance.
First time mom over here working on a registry! I hear so many different things about diaper genie and wipe warmer, idk what to get at this point LOL. Love these videos💓
Ubbi diaper pail! You can use regular bags instead of buying refills, it is more expensive than diaper genie but you don't have to buy the expensive refills so it is cheaper in the long run. Also it's stainless steel instead of plastic so more durable. As long as you close the lid you don't smell the contents, highly recommend!
I'm doing cloth diapers so I've been told to use a laundry hamper with a lid but that has holes for air circulation because the lack of air circulation is what will cause the stink to be real bad.
My daughter preferred a cradle swing over the momaroo. Wish I would have just bought the cradle swing. They're cheaper. For the peepee tpee's just use a wash cloth. I just put food straight on the highchair tray
My son hated the mamaroo, I hated having the clothes with buttons I had so many didn’t know about it I don’t even know why they had it. Mittens never stayed on him. My son is 1 now and definitely learned for my second baby and I found out about magnetic onesies definitely going to try once my baby is born in august. Velcro and zipper swaddles definitely a must. My regret was a changing station I was just too tired and changed him in my bed.
I absolutely agree! My baby's hand mittens are a total waste! Only used it at the hospital. And my baby hates the rocking chair thingie as well! I've been so sad about that cause I was so desperate to buy it cause I loved it, and now he hates it!!! Also, my baby hates the NUK Bottles and loves the Avent ones.
First time mom here due in June, and I have learned so much about babies since I’ve found out I was pregnant. Some pro tips that friends and family have given me: If you buy the diapers, tape the receipts to the boxes. Makes it so much easier if you need to return. I love Cloud Island (Target brand) jammies, they have zippers and “built in mittens”, the sleeves fold over baby’s hands. I’ve purchased up to size 9 months, and they have them too. I told my mother about the pee pee tee pee and I’ve never seen her laugh so hard. I told her it was a bit silly, and you could just use the diaper. She also suggested getting some cloth diapers since they can be used for multiple things, including throwing over baby for diaper changes, then throw it in the wash. Create multiple registries and get the freebie boxes from them. You only have to share one with your friends and family, but I’ve gotten nine free bottles from Dr. Brown, Mam, Advent and one other brand, but it gives you a variety for your baby to try and see which one your baby likes best. Great video! Can’t wait to meet my little man in June!
Haha. As a new mom of 2 months, love your videos but I have to disagree on most things. My baby boy loves the 4moms mamaroo. I purchased it for $80 on Facebook marketplace, I’ll probably sell it for the same price. Swaddling baby helps them sleep and develop a better sleeping schedule. We regret not swaddling our baby from birth. I agree with you on the pampers and zippered baby clothes, buttons suck ass!!! Lol As far as mittens, get those because babies love scratching their faces. Most baby zippered onesies have built in mittens 🙌🏾. I love the diaper genie and diaper warmer!! Bedside Bassinet is a game changer because I’m not putting him in his crib until he’s almost one. I know!!! Bigger regret thus far (although I didn’t purchase) was the Baby Breeza Bottle Sterilizer dryer. I used it once, idk... Lastly, I wanted to name my son Jaylen but husband wanted something more unique so we went with Jacoby! Follow me on Instagram @jasminemcgriff88
I heard soooo much bad about the mamaroo we got the graco cry detection swing and my son loves it. It’s a little more pricey too but it was worth it honestly’
If you’re having an issues with your baby throwing food or plates, try to serve your child less food and give them more once they finish the first plate. It’s easy for children to o get overwhelmed when they have too much food on the plate. That’s one of the best tips I was given with my first son. We almost never had a problem with him throwing food afterwards
I've never heard of this before! This makes so much sense!
I'm so glad dad is so involved. Guys usually don't know this much or really choose not to care. This is nice to see.
This is the first of these types of videos that had the couple reviewing together! It also helps that you’re down to earth and not super posh. Loved it. Especially the pee pee tee pee.
The DockATot..took that thing back in a heartbeat. My baby wasn’t feeling it and I wasn’t about to force it. There’s a lot you can do with $200.
So true!! When things are expensive AND the baby doesn’t like it. 🙈 Needs Ta Go!
I was kind of hoping this would happen so I could get my money back but my baby is obsessed lol
My baby is obsessed with the Dockatot too. I put off buying it earlier because I was worried it would be a waste of money. My only regret is not having it from day dot. Oh and that he’s almost grown out of it at 3 months. 0-8 months... lies 🤣

Love these videos! You are both so positive and authentic it’s refreshing 🙌 thanks for putting these videos together!
Royce giving me reallllll Sinbad vibes lol too funny! (And yes I know that’s his dad haha)
wow I feel like a fake Bianca fan because I had no idea
I just kept looking at him thinking he looks familiar....who does he look like? Then I read your comment and realised yeah that’s right he looks like Sinbad, only to read on further Sinbad’s his dad or my gosh I couldn’t believe it. They are twins 😆😆😆😆.
Ohhhh shit really?
I'm a new subscriber.....I had no idea 😂😂😂 fun facts!
But now that you mention it.....he does look like him 😂😂😂
I love how involved Royce is! Thanks for sharing
We just had our son 2 weeks ago. I told everyone gift cards are best, so we can wait to see what he likes or needs. Saved us + everyone so much time and money.

How is your baby doing? Congratulations :)
The blankets!!!!! Omg soooooo many of them!!!!!! I also hated those mittens, BUT they have a certain teething mitten that has silicon on the end so they can chew on. That was a life saver!! Love your videos!!
I love these videos I definitely find them very useful.
My mother in law makes crocheted peepee teepees. They are much larger than the one you demonstrated with, and my sister in law swears by it!
Agreed on the mamaroo, my son hated it 🤦🏾♀️ newborn clothes and diapers were a no for us since he came out at almost 9 lbs. Surprisingly we love our wipe warmer but another no go for us was the owlet 😩
Why didn't you like the owelet? Seems so great for peace of mind
The swaddle blankets were/are a must for us!!! My daughter is 5 weeks old and they are so helpful getting her to sleep
This is so helpful for new parents! It's so hard because every baby and parent is so different. My daughter HATED being swaddled so never used them. Also, they have baby clothes that close with magnets now too! We also used the bassinet on our Uppababy stroller more than a separate one - we even used it inside the house sometimes. For all the extra things we had, we made sure to donate it to family or to others in need in our community.
Those magnetic outfits were the BEST for middle-of-the-night diaper changes!
Due in February! Me and my husband love watching your videos. Shout out to the new first time parents out there ✌🏼
The diaper genie is amazing, but once they start eating solids and the poop is stronger then it’s a different story haha. In the beginning it’s nice since you’re changing so many diapers but as they get older and only poop a couple times a day we just walk them out.

Nice to have small blankets for emergency diaper changes. Can use blanket for car changes. We used lots of baby blankets
Love the Diaper Genie - I didnt want it but my friend got it for me anyway and I am GRATEFUL.
My daughter LOVED her mamaroo. It was a lifesaver for me
Expecting our first in 3 weeks…. This was the first video i saw of yours. I loved your vibe!!! Immediately subscribed!!! God Bless You!!!!

Thank u so much for this video, pregnant with my first baby and this has helped a lot!!
The UppaBaby stand has a laundry hamper option as well! If you still need a use for it. 🤷♀️
I loveeeee watching you two together, this was cute!!! Noo I don’t have any babies here or on the way 😂
Same!!!! Lolll but also learning a lot!
Me either 😂
Same here. But learning for the future 😉
Lol we got a diaper genie.... for our cats. We throw the bags of litter in there and throw it out with the rest of the trash once a week. And it WORKS.

I use my swaddles as burp clothes. It covers my shirts. My daughter loves to rub her face when she’s sleepy so it’s perfect for that
I actually like my genie and my wipe warmer. I live in cold Michigan and my baby hates being cold so the warm wipes helps with diaper changes.
I thought so many blankets were a regret to but I use them a lot now in his crib as his blanket to sleep in I’m glad I have a lot
I love the diaper genie too actually; friends warned me it was a gimmick but that thing really works! Wipe warmer never got used, good idea but my baby didn’t care and hated changes no matter what. And clothes, we were so blessed to get a million clothes bc ppl love buying baby stuff, but I wound up having to donate a bunch of them never used bc they grow so fast!
I love our diaper genie lol! I absolutely HATED the bottle warmer we got, it always made the bottles way too hot.
You could have the swaddles made into a quilt.
A changing table, I just end up changing my kids diapers wherever I am at the time. I still have it because it was a dresser as well but now the dresser is falling apart so I regret getting that.
Wow we have one pack of NB diaper,one pack of Size 1, I said I would wait on getting other sizes to see how quick she grows
I'm going to get the uppababy cot accessory so I can use the cot stand as a laundry hamper after :)
When he starts peeing a lot at night you should set up his crib with sheets. Then put down puddle pads and put another set of sheets.

The non suction sectioned baby plates are great for toddlers.
I love how he’s so hands on. My husband doesn’t care about making these types of videos. Lol
My tip for new parents would be to set up a college or savings account and have friends and family members put money in those accounts instead of birthday and Christmas gifts especially when they are young. When they are old enough don’t just hand them the money, have them earn it by doing chores or matching money that they have saved.
Very good idea. 👍
We used the Ubbi diaper pail and it was awesome. The smell did kind of linger, but we would take lemon peel and some mint oil (not essential oil) and put at the bottom. (We use a lot of lemons in my house for cooking and baking). So the smell wasn’t as bad. We would clean the container once we a week and replace. Worked really well for us, and didn’t have to buy all the replacements for the diaper genie.
I agree with the mittens
Also if anyone got that electric nail file off Amazon, my nurse said not to use it on babies, use an Emory board.
I have the wipe warmer and love it never dried out my diapers (condensation kept them wet) if you leave the lid open yes it will dry out (the ones at the top) . I have a diaper trash only downfall is that it comes with its own bags you gotta buy bags for it when you run out but it does keep the smell out. Fisher price brand makes good stuff I've noticed i have their diaper bag.
I love you guys 💕. First time watching your video. I subscribed you guys. Thanks for the info. 😊
Love watching you both! I am due in April with my first baby and I found your videos a few weeks ago. Keep them coming! You both are soooo adorable and hilarious!
Thank you! 🤗
And congrats on the baby!
@@RnBFam Thank you! I love how you keep it real but make it funny. 😁 It's nice to be informed without being terrified.
the UPPA stand you can actually get a laundry bag insert and use it for laundry!
As a new mom...I understand this struggle. I didn't get the mamaroo because of price and figured there were plenty of hands to rock him.
Precisely!!! No one was going to sacrifice cuddles for a machine 😂🙈
I dont even have kids or am close to have kids and I still watch this videos because I love Bianca so much
Aww thank you!! 🥰❤️
I love you guys, and Jaylen is literally my favorite baby right now. I just can’t get enough! Praying for Sinbad 🙏🏽
Thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Stumbled upon this video and absolutely loved you guys!!! You guys are amazing, keep doing what you’re doing ❤️❤️❤️
1 thing I noticed my 1st born was introduced to SWING 4-6 week she was complaining
But my 2nd was in it from day 2 n she loved it
I'll see what baby 3 will do
Wipes on the radiator was the best warmer n so the baby mat so its not cold
Babies hated swaddling
The skiphop baby bath was bought for our baby as a gift. Hands down, it's been one of the best things anyone could've bought us. We use it every day with her and it works a charm. I couldn't really understand your explanation as to why it didn't work for you, but each to their own!
I just bought one of the skip hop bathtubs last week, so I was happy to see this comment!
We love the diaper genie too! We tried the Ubbi diaper pail and couldn't stand it. It got super stinky right away, and it's not just the diapers that got stinky, the stink permeated the pail and it just flat out stinks when empty. The wipe warmer we could do without. It seems like it dries the wipes out quite a bit and the wipe gets cold quick once it's pulled.
Lol! I love you guys! 😂🤗 Sombody better be paying Royce for that slogan tho! 😎
Gooooddddd just my grand MIL bought us EIGHT jumbo boxes of newborn diapers plus some other people buying us jumbo boxes and small boxes and my husband and I were only in new borns for 1-2 months...
Between the ypsi and the uppa vista Which stroller did you guys end up liking or using more?
me too on the diaper genie and wipe warmer! my daughter is 2 months and the diaper genie is great!! and if i didnt have the wipe warmer shed just cry and cry the whole time im wiping her 😳😳 she HATES cold wipes
Hahaha I laughed more then I should of! This was everything
Aww thanks for watching Chey! ❤️❤️
I don’t use a diaper genie because I cloth diaper my son, but I do looove the wipe warmer.
My baby hates her swing too! I wonder if she would like the mamaroo?
Omgosh Jaylen is going to be 1 pretty soon!! Hooow! 😯
I know it’s crazy!
I have diaper genie and I think it is the best. We used a normal bin at one point but it makes the room smell. The genie locks all the smells in
where did you get your sweatshirt?
OMG the mamaroo for me too! They had it at hospital and said he loved it while he was in the nursery, so we bought it on the way home, he hated it! But now he climbs in it and he's about 22-25lbs and almost 2 years old. Smh! So regret that purchase!
Love the video! My son is just a couple months older than Jalen so we definitely had some similar experiences. Agree on the mittens- we ended up just using socks. We also had a diaper genie which we loved at first but it broke :( so I’d maybe get a different kind of diaper pail next time. Other regrets we had:
- Nanobebe bottles; great in theory but after we switched to formula they were pretty useless and sometimes hard to seal correctly to make sure they didn’t leak.
- Dock a tot; loved this actually but wish we purchased earlier. We were late to the game so only got a few months out of it.
- Baby bullet; it’s such a cute set but we already had a full size ninja bullet and it worked a lot better than the baby version, so now it kinda just takes up space. Also the containers are not dishwasher safe so can be a pain to clean.
- Teething mits; our baby hated these & pulled them off! Liked the banana teether & teething tube much better.
The nanobebe bottles are cute... until you try to put them together and don't get it right at 3 a.m.
I put a wipe over my son’s peepee while i change him and it has never failed me! also idk why people don’t listen at the baby shower when you say don’t only buy ones! loll
Great video once again! Definitely agreed with the tub, the Fisher price is where it's at! You guys are so cute lol
You guys are so endearing. I love these videos
My daughter loved her swing! I will skip on thr large newborn one next time and just get the fisher price take along! So compact, cordless and we used it for the first 6 months
For us the swing, having too many small diapers definitely the onies with buttons awful and we had some many bottles that out one kid never used he hated them all. Lol. Great video and advice.
I always laugh at the teepee idea. We just threw a wipe on top of my nephew and called it a day.
That's what we did with our son also.
My baby loves the swing lol we converted ours to a wall plug in. They got me messed up thinking I'm buying batteries lol 😆 it took awhile for her to get used to it. she really started enjoying it at the 2 to 3 month marker
girl you can never have to many blankets. I'm a blanket hoarder though. 🤣🤣 my kid got alot of home-made blankets from thr family. they are all about sewing
Ok you gave me an idea. I need to return all my baby dishes.. none of them have suction and they’re all munchkin!!! Thankfully I didn’t open them yet!! To target I go!!!
You guys mentions sleep training in ur last video. Could you make a video on how you guys did that and how long it took to work and all that 😩🥺
I can tell you from my experience as a mom of two and someone who has worked as an infant caregiver, they need to fall asleep in the crib. Every baby is different, but a pacifier, wearable sleep sack, white noise, and sometimes just being where they can see you and even touch you can all help. They key is to make them feel secure and safe in their bed. Once they feel their bed is a safe place, you'll be ok. Also be aware that little babies don't understand that your nearby if they can't see you which is why you might need to be physically in the room until they nod off. Its called object performance.
I used mittens at night since my second was born in December, and her hands would get cold at night.
First time mom over here working on a registry! I hear so many different things about diaper genie and wipe warmer, idk what to get at this point LOL. Love these videos💓
Ubbi diaper pail! You can use regular bags instead of buying refills, it is more expensive than diaper genie but you don't have to buy the expensive refills so it is cheaper in the long run. Also it's stainless steel instead of plastic so more durable. As long as you close the lid you don't smell the contents, highly recommend!
I'm doing cloth diapers so I've been told to use a laundry hamper with a lid but that has holes for air circulation because the lack of air circulation is what will cause the stink to be real bad.
My daughter preferred a cradle swing over the momaroo. Wish I would have just bought the cradle swing. They're cheaper.
For the peepee tpee's just use a wash cloth.
I just put food straight on the highchair tray
My son hated the mamaroo, I hated having the clothes with buttons I had so many didn’t know about it I don’t even know why they had it. Mittens never stayed on him. My son is 1 now and definitely learned for my second baby and I found out about magnetic onesies definitely going to try once my baby is born in august. Velcro and zipper swaddles definitely a must. My regret was a changing station I was just too tired and changed him in my bed.
I absolutely agree! My baby's hand mittens are a total waste! Only used it at the hospital. And my baby hates the rocking chair thingie as well! I've been so sad about that cause I was so desperate to buy it cause I loved it, and now he hates it!!! Also, my baby hates the NUK Bottles and loves the Avent ones.
First time mom here due in June, and I have learned so much about babies since I’ve found out I was pregnant.
Some pro tips that friends and family have given me:
If you buy the diapers, tape the receipts to the boxes. Makes it so much easier if you need to return.
I love Cloud Island (Target brand) jammies, they have zippers and “built in mittens”, the sleeves fold over baby’s hands. I’ve purchased up to size 9 months, and they have them too.
I told my mother about the pee pee tee pee and I’ve never seen her laugh so hard. I told her it was a bit silly, and you could just use the diaper. She also suggested getting some cloth diapers since they can be used for multiple things, including throwing over baby for diaper changes, then throw it in the wash.
Create multiple registries and get the freebie boxes from them. You only have to share one with your friends and family, but I’ve gotten nine free bottles from Dr. Brown, Mam, Advent and one other brand, but it gives you a variety for your baby to try and see which one your baby likes best.
Great video! Can’t wait to meet my little man in June!
I definitely hate the genie diaper pail, but I use the plastic refills lol
Haha. As a new mom of 2 months, love your videos but I have to disagree on most things. My baby boy loves the 4moms mamaroo. I purchased it for $80 on Facebook marketplace, I’ll probably sell it for the same price. Swaddling baby helps them sleep and develop a better sleeping schedule. We regret not swaddling our baby from birth.
I agree with you on the pampers and zippered baby clothes, buttons suck ass!!! Lol As far as mittens, get those because babies love scratching their faces. Most baby zippered onesies have built in mittens 🙌🏾.
I love the diaper genie and diaper warmer!! Bedside Bassinet is a game changer because I’m not putting him in his crib until he’s almost one. I know!!!
Bigger regret thus far (although I didn’t purchase) was the Baby Breeza Bottle Sterilizer dryer. I used it once, idk...
Lastly, I wanted to name my son Jaylen but husband wanted something more unique so we went with Jacoby! Follow me on Instagram @jasminemcgriff88
Thank you. This was helpful.
I heard soooo much bad about the mamaroo we got the graco cry detection swing and my son loves it. It’s a little more pricey too but it was worth it honestly’
Could u send those small diapers my way? I'm having twins and I'm sure they'll be real little
Yes my twins were 4 pounds when they were born 🥺
@@marsimone3656 how far along were you when you had them?
@@jayebchillen 35 weeks!
@@marsimone3656 oh my exactly why I'll take the small diapers. I hope your babies are beautiful and blessed
@@jayebchillen thank you! Same to you!
