There's so much more I ended up needing than I thought I would. I'd be interested to hear what she says about what's needed postpartum. I grossly underestimated what I would need.
The high waisted pants with feet are great for anyone who cloth diapers. Pants were sometimes weird for my baby's little fluff butt. H&M has awesome footy pants!
I know this has to happen, I’m pregnant with my first and all the gifts we’ve gotten so far are bizarre! I’m so so grateful but not what’s useful for a newborn
I really love your ‘essentials’ disclaimer. It seems like a lot of first time moms especially think they need to spend thousands of dollars on gear, even if they can’t afford to.
I appreciate your disclaimers in the beginning even though I think it's sucks you had to do it. Some people troll to judge so I get it. I also have the Munchkin Step pail & I love the ring refills. You don't need a knife or scissors to cut because there's a blade in the inside of the pail you slide the bag across to cut it at the top so you don't waist the bag. I LOVE THIS FUNCTION!
The cover for the snuggle me actually fits the deluxe dock a tot, i used that cover so i didn't have to remove the one on the dock a tot And it actually made the dock a tot much more comfortable for my baby with the snuggle me cover😊
For swaddles, I recommend the swaddleme ones that have velcro. Or ones with zippers. Those are the only ones that my son likes 😊 it really helps him sleep so much.
We used to take the entire swaddle off when we changed him in the night. If you don’t want to then you can get the Ollie swaddle. For us he always woke up for the midnight changes and feedings. Which we didn’t care because he’d fall back to sleep 😴
Pregnant with my second and gearing up (again)! Your essentials are spot on for making life easier! My toddler also messes with our hatch sound machine! My baby had a love/hate with swaddles. Always ended up with an arm out but slept better swaddled.
I’m 36 weeks so I’m literally just nesting like crazy!! So excited for this to help me get an idea of the last minute amazon prime items we should purchase 😍
I swear by the snuggle me my daughter absolutely loved it so much! It’s been 3 years since I’ve had another baby so I eventually got rid of everything baby related except for this! Now that I’m expecting again I’m so glad I chose to save this one item!
I can relate SO much when you describe the differences between your kiddos. My 2 1/2yo son was the easiest newborn! He was cool with whatever and was so easy going. My daughter is 3 weeks old, and she has already shown me how she is a little more high maintenance. She’s very particular in ALL things and boy will she tell me. I’m so thankful she was my second and not my first, or I would’ve been a nervous wreck thinking I didn’t know what I was doing 🤣
My first baby is due in April and this is so helpful! I find baby products to be so overwhelming and I appreciate the real opinions. Obviously every baby is different but I've found so much conflicting info. I love that you're super honest about what is actually worth the money.
I love how consistent you are!! Thank you for all these products I’m on baby number 2 and expecting a baby boy this time so this was really helpful!!! God bless your family love 💛🦋
I second this! Due August 4th with my first baby boy and could definitely use some more experienced mama postpartum advice! I have padscicles in the freezer, tucks wipes and Depends Signature adult diapers (recommended by Olivia) and overnight thick pads in all the bathrooms in the house but still feel that I can use these last 3 weeks to prepare!
You can also use the boppy for helping baby learn to sit up! They’re awesome at supporting the baby! Of course don’t leave them unattended, but if you’re tired of holding baby up and want them to build that muscle, it’s great for that
This was so great! Thank you for making awesome content! I’m 35 weeks with my first baby girl and it made me feel very reassured that I’ve got most of these items. Whew! 😅 Keep up the amazing work!! ♥️ All of us mamas need it!
The K'tan and Ergobaby are the best. I bought the K'tan when we traveled to France, I wanted something soft that was easy for me to feel comfortable with on and also my son and I could both sleep. It was wonderful.. I had my son as a lap baby and I felt so secure with him in it. Plus it's easier to use vs a stroller with luggage at the airport. The Ergobaby worked perfectly to ride their train and walk through Paris.
Absolutely love your videos. I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant and find your videos SO helpful. You explain yourself so well. Definitely will continue watching!
Have you ever heard of Happy Baby Carriers? They’re a smaller business but have beautiful, stylish carriers that I swear by! They’re so simple and not bulky like a lot of other carriers. You should look into them, the owners are also so sweet and engage customers a lot!
Im going to check them out because I’m always here to support small businesses and I need an easy carrier for when I have my baby 😭 cause the others are so hard to figure out.
As much as it's great to support small businesses, they are small cause they are new meaning the quality and safety may need to be more in question so carriers i wouldn't ever buy from them
Olivia - I know this video is 2 years old.. I'm pregnant with baby number 2 and your videos really helped me through my first pregnancy! I wanted to point out, which you've probably already figured this out by now but the Hatch Baby sound machine, there is a toddler lock on the app! I hope you've already found it.. our 2 year old used to mess with it all the time!! Thank you so much for your videos, you've really helped me prepare for my second little one! :)
I have 3 kids. My 3rd is 1 month old, but this was my first time buying a boppy. I had never used one before but everyone seemed to love it so I bought one but I rarely ever use it. I feel like I'm much more comfortable nursing without it, maybe because I was used to not using it with my other kids.
I love this so much. Thank you for sharing. I’m pregnant w my 3rd BUT the last time I was pregnant was 8 years ago... the market has changed so much and has such amazing info and products for mom and baby! 💗 this was really helpful.
Really like the options! Neither of mine liked being swaddled, one was SO fussy with pacifiers-the other took anything. So different, but love seeing the options available.
I am so thankful I found your channel! First time mama due with our son in September and it can feel so overwhelming not knowing what I actually NEED. Thank you so much for your informative videos! They really have helped me loads and feel much more prepared. ❤️
We got the evenflo xpand gold, it can be used as both a double or single as needed ; when needed. We love it. The gold version is more expensive but the evenflo Xpand will do the same without all the extras. More only do we love that it can be both a double or single, we love that it we don't need any adapters or parts to carry around just to get it converted.
My fourth baby really hated his swing. Used it once and it just sat there wasting space, so I eventually just donated it. The boppy nursing pillow is life after you’ve had a c section.
I wish I had gotten that one. I got the breast friend nursing pillow and it was hard and not at all comfortable for me or baby specially because of the c section
Evenflo has a wonderful dupe as the uppa baby vista, it’s $350 compared to the $1000. It’s the same thing and comes with the car seat. It’s called Evenflo Pivot Xpand !!
I love these videos i am expecting my first and your helping so much with information i need on what to get and what helps the most one thing i don’t get is the car seat cover i’ve seen where babies have heat strokes bc of them and that they just ain’t to safe for a baby to have over it while it’s hot outside
I love the hatch baby sound machine. It is so nice for late-night feeds. No need to turn on the big light. Also, I like that I can change the colour to red. Apparently red doesn't mess with melatonin levels
Also pregnant with baby #3 and still found this very helpful! It’s crazy how different one baby is from the next; I’m pretty sure everything my first loved, my second hated 😂 Neither would take pacifiers, but fingers crossed this baby will! Loved all your recommendations!
A necessity for our daughter was/is zipadee zips!! She likes to be swaddled with her hands near her face but once she hit 8 weeks and we had to stop swaddling I PANICKED!! Thought we would never sleep again!! Zipadees were amazing, she transitioned so easily and still wears them to sleep now at 14 months. She feels secure, she’s warm when she sleeps and she’s SAFE! Obviously safety is the most important!! Whenever we have our next baby, I’m definitely going to try that Baby Bjorn bouncer! We loved the Baby Bjorn mini carrier as well!
I have my registry up as I watch this so I don’t miss a thing! we’re expecting our first daughter in January (And have been watching you since before I was pregnant!) I can’t wait for your postpartum video.
My son really relied on swaddles but we NEVER used swaddle blankets! The Halo swaddles and the Ollie swaddles were our lifesavers. Anything with Velcro was a winner.
I bought i think a 2 pk of swaddlers at our Walmart for 10 or $20 im not sure - but definitely didnt pay a lot. That butterfly looking one that their arms can come up in is seriously genius cause babies loove sleeping w their arms up 💞💞🙌🤗
Thank you for this! Its my first and I'm 25 weeks pregnant and just added a bunch of stuff that you recommend to my registry! I didn't know where to start and you helped me!
Am loving your videos Olivia! My daughter is a few months younger than your oldest and my son is currently two months old. I thought I had it all figured out after my colicky baby #1, but surprise! My son is completely different!! It's crazy how they can be so different! My must have baby items are quite similar to yours, except I HAVE to have my Tula Free-To-Grow (I recommend it to everyone!) and the ergococoon.
I just had my 1st son. He will be 3 months tomorrow and can I say..this mom thing is easy! Idk why people are always complaining saying “it’s so hard” and “we tried everything” idk maybe my baby is just a good baby. 😂 But I am so relaxed and find it so simple!
Babies are different during different stages and new challenges may present later on. Just be humble. Some moms STRUGGGGLE during the newborn stage but love the toddler stage or vice versa. My pregnancy was super easy but birth was hard. It just depends!
When we were getting ready for our first baby my husband was complaining about the bassinet and why it was taking up so much space in the room, my response was “where else is out baby supposed to sleep??” HA. Jokes on us she hates the bassinet we have and is currently co sleeping with us 🤪those babies sure do have a mind of their own 😂🥰
Great video! My baby will be 2 weeks tomorrow and we are still figuring out what she likes best but I for sure like the Velcro swaddles and sister loves the swing too!!
We used the boppy every day for helping my son lounge up from reflux, nursing assistance and then as he got older, it became his pillow and now he wont sleep with a normal pillow, he HAS to to have his boppy and hes 5. So we got a new boppy for baby #2 due in roughly 8 weeks.
1) I would have loved to have the Dock-a-Tot early on, but the price made me wince. What I'm actually using right now is the Boppy Baby lounger. Sam (my three month old) loves it and likes to take the occasional nap in it. 2) I inherited my cousin's bouncer from Fisher Price. Before that, we were using the Fisher Price Rock and Play. Sam constantly fell asleep in it. :) 3) I got the Avent Pacifier with the giraffe attached to it. We now call the giraffe, Jeffery. XD 4) Haven't used the bibs, yet, but I've definitely been going through the burp cloths almost daily. 5) I inherited a Baby Bjorn carrier and then recently bought the Ka'tan wrap after Sam veto's the Boba (?) wrap. The Ka'Tan is the winner (lol)
Target has a bouncer very similar for 89.99 it’s called (baby delight go with me alpine deluxe portable bouncer) I just saw it before watching this video since I was looking for things to add to my registry. My son Christian didn’t like being on his back he liked being a bit upright especially after eating.
Just found your channel and I'm only just entertaining the thought of kids. Super helpful, though. I didn't even think of half the situations you talked about and now I have an Amazon and Target list and I'm not even pregnant lol
U need to give yourself a pat on the back for the amount of content you’ve been uploading while juggling mum life. U r slaying mumma 💓
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that and am so thankful you noticed! 😊❤️
So truuuuue
FB marketplace is your friend, you can buy those big price items for a fraction of the cost if someone is selling it in your area
I second this! Just got a brand new DockATot for $90 off the marketplace
Im having my 3rd baby and thats what im doing! Ive found several things that are like new for half the price!
Totally!! Just got a halo bassinet for $120. In perfect condition!
Lots of free stuff too
I’m also into fb marketplace
Looking for new products resellers, and found a bunch with good discounts
Am I pregnant with our 3rd kid and already have our favorite essentials? Yes... am I still going to watch all of this and LOVE it? YES 🙌🏻
Same here! Due in August with 3rd and still watching 👍
Haha me too!
6 months pregnant with my first baby and watching this I find super helpful! Thank you!!
Do I have a newborn? No, my baby is now 13 months old. Am I still watching because Olivia is everything? Yes!
Agreed, my baby turns 13 months tomorrow! I've been binging her old videos too because I adore her!
Yes please to the postpartum video. I’m 7 1/2 months pregnant and am starting to make a list of what I might need 💕
There's so much more I ended up needing than I thought I would. I'd be interested to hear what she says about what's needed postpartum. I grossly underestimated what I would need.
The high waisted pants with feet are great for anyone who cloth diapers. Pants were sometimes weird for my baby's little fluff butt. H&M has awesome footy pants!
So happy you made this video! I’m pregnant with my 2nd and I apparently forgot everything I used with my 1st 🤣
I know this has to happen, I’m pregnant with my first and all the gifts we’ve gotten so far are bizarre! I’m so so grateful but not what’s useful for a newborn
I really love your ‘essentials’ disclaimer. It seems like a lot of first time moms especially think they need to spend thousands of dollars on gear, even if they can’t afford to.
exactly. I'm watching for entertainment coz it's a lot and most unnecessary.
I appreciate your disclaimers in the beginning even though I think it's sucks you had to do it. Some people troll to judge so I get it. I also have the Munchkin Step pail & I love the ring refills. You don't need a knife or scissors to cut because there's a blade in the inside of the pail you slide the bag across to cut it at the top so you don't waist the bag. I LOVE THIS FUNCTION!
I’ve been obsessed with these videos to try and make sure I have everything I need for our baby boy! I’m 34 weeks 💙
Same here 20 wks ❤🎀
How’s it going??
I'd love a pp essentials video!!
The cover for the snuggle me actually fits the deluxe dock a tot, i used that cover so i didn't have to remove the one on the dock a tot And it actually made the dock a tot much more comfortable for my baby with the snuggle me cover😊
For swaddles, I recommend the swaddleme ones that have velcro. Or ones with zippers. Those are the only ones that my son likes 😊 it really helps him sleep so much.
How is it with the nightly diaper changes? Won’t the velcro sound wake the baby? Asking cause I’m giving birth in a couple months to my first lol.
We used to take the entire swaddle off when we changed him in the night. If you don’t want to then you can get the Ollie swaddle. For us he always woke up for the midnight changes and feedings. Which we didn’t care because he’d fall back to sleep 😴
Has anyone else felt the need to see more babies from this family? Lol when she said she’s keeping the Bobby for baby number three I was excited 😂😂
Tashura Smith lol I don’t buy these things either I just love her babies😂🤍
Pregnant with my second and gearing up (again)! Your essentials are spot on for making life easier! My toddler also messes with our hatch sound machine! My baby had a love/hate with swaddles. Always ended up with an arm out but slept better swaddled.
I’m 36 weeks so I’m literally just nesting like crazy!! So excited for this to help me get an idea of the last minute amazon prime items we should purchase 😍
36 weeks here too!
38 weeks watching this making sure I haven’t forgotten anything! Love your videos💕
I swear by the snuggle me my daughter absolutely loved it so much! It’s been 3 years since I’ve had another baby so I eventually got rid of everything baby related except for this! Now that I’m expecting again I’m so glad I chose to save this one item!
Yes please do a postpartum essentials video! I’m 3.5 weeks out from my due date and love these essential videos of yours 😍
I can relate SO much when you describe the differences between your kiddos. My 2 1/2yo son was the easiest newborn! He was cool with whatever and was so easy going. My daughter is 3 weeks old, and she has already shown me how she is a little more high maintenance. She’s very particular in ALL things and boy will she tell me. I’m so thankful she was my second and not my first, or I would’ve been a nervous wreck thinking I didn’t know what I was doing 🤣
Oh my goodness, we said the same thing!! We’re so glad we’ve been through it once before so we know everything is a phase 😂 🤞🏼
My first baby is due in April and this is so helpful! I find baby products to be so overwhelming and I appreciate the real opinions. Obviously every baby is different but I've found so much conflicting info. I love that you're super honest about what is actually worth the money.

Yes please make a postpartum video !! I’m due August 4th and will definitely benefit from that video ! I love your videos !! Your an amazing mom💕🤰🏼
We have the same due date. Im nervous lol
I second this! Due August 4th with my first baby boy and could definitely use some more experienced mama postpartum advice! I have padscicles in the freezer, tucks wipes and Depends Signature adult diapers (recommended by Olivia) and overnight thick pads in all the bathrooms in the house but still feel that I can use these last 3 weeks to prepare!
I’m also due August 4th. Yay us, we’re almost there 😊
You can also use the boppy for helping baby learn to sit up! They’re awesome at supporting the baby! Of course don’t leave them unattended, but if you’re tired of holding baby up and want them to build that muscle, it’s great for that
Yes please! Do a video for postpartum, I’m having my second baby and this would be helpful cause I know I won’t think of some stuff. Thank you! 🙏🏼😁
I am so jealous of your nursing skin. I nursed and my jawline just went nuts. I love your videos, these are so helpful. Thank you!
This was so great! Thank you for making awesome content! I’m 35 weeks with my first baby girl and it made me feel very reassured that I’ve got most of these items. Whew! 😅 Keep up the amazing work!! ♥️ All of us mamas need it!

Going on baby number three but I feel so out of the loop with everything hahaha! So THANK YOU for this thorough video, it helps so much!
Expecting our first baby boy in February and this was SO helpful. Thank you!
I love your videos!! It’s so sad you have to add disclaimers at the beginning of the video for the people who get offended about everything 😒
I love these videos i am expecting my first and your helping so much with information i need on what to get and what helps the most one thing i don’t get is the car seat cover i’ve seen where babies have heat strokes bc of them and that they just ain’t to safe for a baby to have over it while it’s hot outside
I’m due next year with my first ☺️so I’m willing to take all tips from experienced mamas 😀 I’m super excited with a touch of nervousness 😂
Same!! 😍😍
Oh I wish I would’ve gotten a bouncer because my baby hated the swings 🤦🏼♀️💕 great ideas! Love your videos and style girl 🤗
Grace makes a swing that is both it’s incredible!! :)
Mom 101 thanks girl! I need that for when we have another baby. My ten month old is like 26 lbs so she’s too chonk for swings now 😂😂😂😍
Kaycee Peterson Graco DuetConnect LX Baby Swing and Bouncer, Manor www.amazon.com/dp/B00H8MSC0S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LSncFb8S2AECD
I really like mine!
Mom 101 thank you!! I’ll take a look 🤗🤗💕
I gave birth last Saturday! 🥰🥰 Thank you for this video Liv, your updates are such highlights in my week!
Gosh this is the ONLY video I’ve seen of this type where I loved everything!!!!
I love the hatch baby sound machine. It is so nice for late-night feeds. No need to turn on the big light. Also, I like that I can change the colour to red. Apparently red doesn't mess with melatonin levels
We used the Dock-a-Tot as a travel changing pad when we went on road trips and it was great! It's so useful!! xo
Also pregnant with baby #3 and still found this very helpful! It’s crazy how different one baby is from the next; I’m pretty sure everything my first loved, my second hated 😂 Neither would take pacifiers, but fingers crossed this baby will! Loved all your recommendations!
A necessity for our daughter was/is zipadee zips!! She likes to be swaddled with her hands near her face but once she hit 8 weeks and we had to stop swaddling I PANICKED!! Thought we would never sleep again!! Zipadees were amazing, she transitioned so easily and still wears them to sleep now at 14 months. She feels secure, she’s warm when she sleeps and she’s SAFE! Obviously safety is the most important!!
Whenever we have our next baby, I’m definitely going to try that Baby Bjorn bouncer! We loved the Baby Bjorn mini carrier as well!
I'm going to be a teen mom I'm 18 I will be 19 November 23rd and my baby is due June 2nd !! Love watching these videos they help me so much! ❤️
Sweet! Thanks for sharing! Also thanks for mentioning the products you have a partnership with.
Have you ever tried a Happy Baby Carrier? They are really stylish and linen so not too hot. They even make a toddler size.
“Just hangin out with my friends” 😄👏🏼
So looking forward to that postpartum care video! I truly need it! Soon to be new mama here!
I loved the snuggle me. Definitely my baby’s favorite
Thx Olivia for the videos! There r so useful, am pregnant too!
I have my registry up as I watch this so I don’t miss a thing! we’re expecting our first daughter in January (And have been watching you since before I was pregnant!) I can’t wait for your postpartum video.
Have you had your baby yet? I just had my son early at 37weeks on the 4th
My son really relied on swaddles but we NEVER used swaddle blankets! The Halo swaddles and the Ollie swaddles were our lifesavers. Anything with Velcro was a winner.
Oo yes! I've been thinking about the snuggle me for my 3rd!
Perfect timing since today is my due date 🤗 except this little boy wants to come late lol
I bought i think a 2 pk of swaddlers at our Walmart for 10 or $20 im not sure - but definitely didnt pay a lot. That butterfly looking one that their arms can come up in is seriously genius cause babies loove sleeping w their arms up 💞💞🙌🤗
Just opened the video and just have to say you look amazing!
Thanks so much Olivia. I'm 19 weeks and I feel like I am so behind on doing my registry and just any research in general. This really helped me out.
Please do postpartum video. Love watching this videos. I’m currently 23 weeks need all the tips I can get with my first baby. 💖
This was super helpful for me I'm due with my frist October 25th and I love the boho style to
I'm due with my first October 28!! We're getting closer!
Thank you for this! Its my first and I'm 25 weeks pregnant and just added a bunch of stuff that you recommend to my registry! I didn't know where to start and you helped me!
My baby girl absolutely loves the swaddle up!! And we also use the swaddle me which she loves too. Such a lifesaver
I LOVE my baby Bjorn bouncer! I got it secondhand, though, so a much better price point!
Am loving your videos Olivia! My daughter is a few months younger than your oldest and my son is currently two months old. I thought I had it all figured out after my colicky baby #1, but surprise! My son is completely different!! It's crazy how they can be so different! My must have baby items are quite similar to yours, except I HAVE to have my Tula Free-To-Grow (I recommend it to everyone!) and the ergococoon.
I just had my 1st son. He will be 3 months tomorrow and can I say..this mom thing is easy! Idk why people are always complaining saying “it’s so hard” and “we tried everything” idk maybe my baby is just a good baby. 😂 But I am so relaxed and find it so simple!
Babies are different during different stages and new challenges may present later on. Just be humble. Some moms STRUGGGGLE during the newborn stage but love the toddler stage or vice versa. My pregnancy was super easy but birth was hard. It just depends!
Yay! Thanks for this video! I am in the process of adopting a newborn! So I need all the help I can get ! 😊🎉😂
Love this video, adding a few more things to my list before baby boy comes in a couple of weeks🥰 thank you!
Absolutely love our ergo Omni 360! Highly recommend!
My first baby was the same! She hated swings and loved bouncers! She also used the snuggle me until she grew out of it.
When we were getting ready for our first baby my husband was complaining about the bassinet and why it was taking up so much space in the room, my response was “where else is out baby supposed to sleep??” HA. Jokes on us she hates the bassinet we have and is currently co sleeping with us 🤪those babies sure do have a mind of their own 😂🥰
Thank you! This is the most helpful essential video I’ve seen yet.
Both of my kids hated being swaddled. I'm not even going to bother with my 3rd when he is born. Great video girl 💖💖
Mine too. I used the nanit to track their breath and the sleep position ,but they hated being swaddled. So I switched to sense-u. It was better.
Thank you so much for posting this!! Adjusting my registry 😍
Yes I would love a post partum video.. I’ve only got 8 weeks to go so the faster the better 😂
Great video! My baby will be 2 weeks tomorrow and we are still figuring out what she likes best but I for sure like the Velcro swaddles and sister loves the swing too!!
Subscribed because of your honesty
We used the boppy every day for helping my son lounge up from reflux, nursing assistance and then as he got older, it became his pillow and now he wont sleep with a normal pillow, he HAS to to have his boppy and hes 5. So we got a new boppy for baby #2 due in roughly 8 weeks.
Thank you so much for sharing on your experience and all the items that are out there such a big help!. # 8 months pregnant 😊
First kid here! This helped a lot because I have no idea what stuff actually is a need
Omg with my first baby wrapping to wear was a life saver! I’m glad it’s still a thing now for my 2nd lol thanks for the info!
Terry socks are the only socks that did not fall from my babys feet. My boy had chubby feet & my girl were slim.
1) I would have loved to have the Dock-a-Tot early on, but the price made me wince. What I'm actually using right now is the Boppy Baby lounger. Sam (my three month old) loves it and likes to take the occasional nap in it.
2) I inherited my cousin's bouncer from Fisher Price. Before that, we were using the Fisher Price Rock and Play. Sam constantly fell asleep in it. :)
3) I got the Avent Pacifier with the giraffe attached to it. We now call the giraffe, Jeffery. XD
4) Haven't used the bibs, yet, but I've definitely been going through the burp cloths almost daily.
5) I inherited a Baby Bjorn carrier and then recently bought the Ka'tan wrap after Sam veto's the Boba (?) wrap. The Ka'Tan is the winner (lol)
Love this video! These are my favorite types of videos to watch 🥰 ftm due in October this is so helpful
Ugh yesss copper pearl has the most amazing swaddles
A postpartum essentials video? Yes please!! 🙏
Target has a bouncer very similar for 89.99 it’s called (baby delight go with me alpine deluxe portable bouncer) I just saw it before watching this video since I was looking for things to add to my registry. My son Christian didn’t like being on his back he liked being a bit upright especially after eating.
I love your videos - they are so helpful! Thank you for sharing all of this great information. So refreshing.
I would love a postpartum essentials!!! I am pregnant with my first and scared about recovery!
If you want to solve this whole problem there’s a thing called goumi and they are booties but they work amazingly and I so do the mittens
Just found your channel and I'm only just entertaining the thought of kids. Super helpful, though. I didn't even think of half the situations you talked about and now I have an Amazon and Target list and I'm not even pregnant lol
Loved this!! Except when I thought my toddler was waking up from his nap when I heard Christian. Lol!!! Glad it wasn’t mine!
😂😂 sorry for the false alarm! He’s so loud these days even all the way downstairs 🤣
