Same here ❤️ I love that Brittany hasn’t become 100% mom content since having Carter. Most TH-camrs who become moms stop doing all the content I originally followed them for but Brittanys content is so awesome that I even watch the mom stuff!
Personally I don’t like baby video monitors that connect to my phone. I much prefer the ones with the separate parent unit. Anyone anywhere can connect to my wifi or hack my system and watch us and talk to my babe. Nope nope. I’ll stick with a closed circuit one!!
For weighing my niece I weight my self first on a scale then I way myself with my niece on the scale. Then just find the difference. We can’t afford a baby scale.
That’s what I would of done. I just made sure my kids were going to the bathroom normally. That way I knew they were getting enough breast milk. The weight took care of itself.
My baby is 7 months old. I have never changed her anywhere but on her changing table. I don’t know how people do it anywhere else! My back hurts soo bad if I try some where else. I have mine high up too, lol. I agree with the pacifier, that was her New Years resolution lol.
I loved pacifiers. They were an amazing comfort to my kids. Their eyes would roll back in their head from falling asleep the second you gave it to them. And I had to eventually break them of it at some point but it was no big deal. I’m all about all the comfort things for the babies. Blankies, etc.
Not a pacifier fan but baby always tells you what they need when little. First 3 did not want it. My 4th took one and I was like nooooooo! She did not wake up if it fell out. She would wake up to eat. She could later sleep with it or without it. I would also not give it to her everytime she cried. I felt I needed to teach and learn how I can comfort her myself so she could have trust in me. She became my chiclet attached to my hip and pacifier is no longer. So good for some and not for some.
I used pacifiers to try to avoid the tongue-thrust-thumbsucker mouth that I had/have. It was pretty obvious from our genes that they would need braces but my orthodontist said it's alot easier to correct if there's no thumbsucking history. We used a broad ortho style, and a "foo loop" as we called it; a short ribbon with a snap at one end to attach to the pacifier loop, and a clip at other to attach to pj's, once old enough to grasp and manipulate things. They quickly learned to find it and re-install! Also keeps the pacifier from landing on the ground when out and about! My gddtr used her thumb, which made her independent, but she has "the mouth." (I tell myself it's our British nobility ancestors!)
My aunts and uncles and mom are doctors and they say the pacifiers are their enemies. Their two top and bottom teeth end up coming out kinda forming a circle where the pacifier would sit, not to mention the deformation of their coming teeth, infection, and dealing with taking it away after growing out of it etc. To each it’s own, but I’m glad you brought it up.
On the subject of the pacifier my daughter didn’t want it use a pacifier ether but then she read that it reduces sids by 95% that is huge. and a big mental relief to a new mom. I think it is Worth it in the end for the peace of mind. It’s not that hard to got the toddler off the pacifier. You Just need to research different techniques to get them off the pacifier and find what works for you. I am a mom of two grown children and a grandma of four and am very involved in the care of my grandchildren. I totally agree about the baby swings. It is totally the baby preference of the one they like or if they like one at all. Those two little ones of yours are so sweet. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your life! 🙏❤️🇺🇸
I use the dome sound machine but the baby shher was an absolute life saver on many occasions and a great addition to the dome! In the car, night wakings, naps, etc. it does turn off but it calms them down enough to eventually fall asleep on their own.
I love getting most of my baby items second hand, whether a hand me down or not. Both of my kids were so different I loved not having to spend full price just to find out they didn't like it!
I have 3 kids and swore by so many of these that you regretted. Its so personal to mom and each baby. As a new mom I would get several things to try and see how they work for you and your baby. Personally my babies loved the dockatot, pacis and the bjorn bouncer was totally worth it in my opinion. Keep in mind if you get these things for your first and plan to have more kids you can reuse it for your children that follow. I have 3 and have reused pretty much everything each time.
I'm due at the end of August with a very surprising pregnancy. But super excited to have another girl. My only other child is almost 13 so this refresher video is very nice because I've forgotten so much!!!
Im 36 and I just found out I’m pregnant with my 3rd. I was done so this is such a surprise. I have a 7 and 10 year old. I even donated the crib, bassinet etc that we had, last December. Thanks for these videos. I have to start over!!!
That egg light is the best! Both of my kids have one and they love it. I used the changing table with both kid its so convenient cuz trash can and all is at the chaning table.
Not sure if I’m supposed to comment here or on FB. I’m an absolute fan of pacifiers and it saved my sanity with all of my kids. I’m older, didn’t have all the fancy stuff for my kids, but I make sure my grandkids do as much as possible. I remember when it was a big deal when swings could have batteries or plug in and we didn’t have to wind them anymore.
Lol I only change them on the changing table, hurts my back anywhere else. We also love our pacis but we get rid of them at a year and a half. Only took two sleeps to be rid of the paci. My favorite must have is a sound machine for my kids, it's magic lol
I loved my son's Pack 'n Play with bassinet and changing table that you flipped over when you needed it. It also came with a mobile. That's what we used when he was a new born till he got big and then we switched to a crib. I also really loved the portable diaper changing pad. If I had to change him in a public bathroom or even the car, it was more sanitary than without.
Favorite baby product that I've used with both kids and even traveled with is the Dex Baby DayDreamer Sleeper. It helps with reflux, and also cozy to sleep in during day or night, portable too, washable cover!
Love this super helpful! I am currently 12 days postpartum with my 4th child and 3rd son. The nipple shield has saved me from painful feedings. I forgot to ask for one at the hospital like I had with my other 3 and I regretted it. I gave myself a mild case of mastisis due to cracked nipples and my milk coming in. Also a manual pump has helped tremendously!
I just had my third baby and I'll say that having a Fisher Price swing and a FP bouncer that has a vibrate function on it has been the best. Each of my kids have preferred something different and having those 2 things helped immensely. I also highly recommend getting an exercise ball. You can sit on it and bounce with your newborn. It saved me during my second baby's witching hour (that was actually 5 hours) and has been helpful during my current baby's more unhappy moments.
Hands down my Natart Matty changer is my favourite baby product! It is a silicon change mat so it is easy to carry to other parts of the house and takes 2 seconds to wipe down.
I don't have a baby but I do have a little brother who is 5 years old now. When he was still really little he would use the baby swing/rocker we got him all the time and he really loved it. I think it was by Graco.
I love my ergo baby carrier! I regret buying a playpen, it seemed like something every buys but I never used it once with mine. I also loved the baby bath seat that attaches to the tub for when my child was learning to sit up on her own.
This video was so helpful because my friend's having a baby girl and I don't want to give her a gift she wont actually use. So the nail trimmer and bra pads were awesome useful ideas she might use every day and not everyone thinks of that. Thanks Brittany!
My favourite onesies are the bonds wondersuit. Not only do they have 2 way zips for easy diaper change, they also have foldover socks and mitts. So no need to buy socks and mitts Xx
Thank you SO much for the info about reflux. I'm helping with my twin grandsons, one of whom suffers badly with this condition. The gadget for helping him pass that air has been a life saver and saved us so much frustration. Thx for taking time to share it!
The paci isn't always as rough as some people have it. It varies on each baby just like everything else! :) For prenatal I asked my obgyn what she took for her 4 babies...and I took that one. 😜
I’m 7 weeks with my 1st and all I’ve been doing for the past week or two is watch videos like this lolol! They’re so helpful! My husband and I are SOOO BEYOND excited though!
Im 18 yrs old, due this July with my husband and I’s very first (little girl), so super excited to watch this video! I’ve actually watched your older ones, but excited to see an updated one!
My son is 3 now but I love always watch all your videos. Love to see what you used this time around that didn’t use last time (baby scale) wish I used that too
I got a babybjorn bounce for my son 4 years ago. At first he didn't like it but when he started siting on it by himself he loved bouncing on it and he STILL uses it to this day. He can't bounce on it anymore but he loves laying on it. we are expecting our second baby (a girl) and I can't wait for her to use this same bouncer definitely worth the money for me.
Personally I don’t like baby video monitors that connect to my phone. I much prefer the ones with the separate parent unit. Anyone anywhere can connect to my wifi or hack my system and watch us and talk to my babe. Nope nope. I’ll stick with a closed circuit one!!
I really LOVE my doc a tot, both my kids refused to sleep in a bassinet, but sleep amazing in the doc a tot. I also have the halo bassinet which is nice but i dont use it and its big and heavy.
I stumbled across your channel right after you had Carter, a couple months before I was due with my son. Subscribed right after. It was a video for newborn must haves and I pretty much bought most of the stuff you recommended and my son loved it all! A lot of the stuff I got made my life easier. This time Im pregnant with my second and I’m glad to see an updated version. :) I love your channel!
I'll weight my self and then with my baby, then subtract 😁 love those sacs too, i still prefer garden of life vitamins over ritual, plus vitamins are very susceptible to light. Yey for zippered onesies! the nipple shield was the only thing that help me latch my baby correctly and be able to feed my baby, even if it was for only a few weeks, wow wireless light! Thank you for everything!
I 10000% agree on the Pacifiers!!! No one is my family has ever used them because they are just crutches. I don't understand why people try to "force" them on their babies. Plus their smiles are way to cute to be blocked by a giant rubbery plastic germ magnet!
The baby swing we got saved our lives! 🙏For a few weeks our baby was only sleeping during car rides or in the baby swing. 😬 (One other thing that I LOVE and use every single day is the exercise ball. I used it during my pregnancy as well. :) )
Good point about the pacifiers. My youngest was sooo dependent on his. Finally, the night of his 3rd bday, I threw them all in the garbage. However, I was afraid I'd give in if he just couldn't sleep without it. I grabbed his last dirty diaper and rolled the pacifiers inside. That way I couldn't retrieve it even if I wanted to! 🤦
Great advice! I was mad because my baby girl stayed in the hospital for 5 days and the nurses in the NICU pushed a paci on her. As soon as we took her home she never took another one. I would never force it because my sister ended up with buck teeth because of sucking on her thumb for life! In my opinion don't even buy them, they will never know what their missing.
I actually bought the Snoo in desperation when my baby was about 6 weeks old and it worked like a dream. He’s about to be grown out of it though and I’m terrified lol
I've been watching your home videos for a while now and you are one of my favorite youtubers, and now I'm having my first baby and your videos are so useful and informative thank you so much for sharing all your tricks and tips to make this whole thing a little easier cause I have no clue what I'm doing 😅
I am on my 4th month taking Ritual women’s vitamins. I also did my research. When I breastfed, I used that nipple shield and it was a lifesaver! I am watching this for great ideas to either pass on or purchase for any baby showers! Thanks Brittany! I thought of you this morning as I opened another facial cleanser my brother sent me from Vasseur! 😘
This was a very informative video 👍 personally used pacifiers for both of my boys, they have no speech problems and no dental problems. They only used it for sleep/ naps I did not give it to them when they are awake and upset or crying , bored and playing. Transition was easy because of this. Pacifiers can be a great tool if used correctly. I agree, if Bub doesn't take it then leave it that way. ❤️
First time momma here and my most loved product is our keekaroo peanut changer. Hands down the it’s been the best to have an easily wipable but comfy changing surface for our son. Or else our laundry would be exponentially more! Hehehe great video!
This is awesome advice! I’m a new mom to a 7 week old and I think I agree with pretty much all of these recs! Also, Facebook marketplace is amazing these days. We got our Mamaroo on there for $100, and our love to dream swaddles for $15. That way, if she hates them (she likes both, thank goodness), it’s not as much money lost!
Followed the new page omg vitamin D and probiotics! Who knew adding all the things to my registry this is my double rainbow baby first time mom I'm stoked!
I don't have a child yet but I totally agree on the paci thing, I might change my mind but for now I think it's an unnecessary crutch that can be a misery to break. Also I think I've seen some stuff about potentially messing with their teeth growing in correctly I could be wrong tho.
All 4 of my kids take a pacifier. This one will too. The only nightmare was my 2 year old. Only bc I didn't take it at 1. They all have straight teeth. My 2 year old was eating so much he would throw up so it was a necessity with him. Along with the others. But that is my experience. Some moms never regret giving it to them.
Brittany I don’t know a lot of these products by name. I’m expecting a baby in May and I love all the advise you give but I gotta be able to see it, do you have any links or pictures? Thanks for this video, will save me a lot of money for my little guy.
Brittany Vasseur I should’ve been more specific sorry I’m multi tasking.. working and I had to watch since you uploaded. I like to watch when you upload 🙂
Brittany Vasseur it was the items that you don’t think are worth it. After you showed the items you liked and have. I must have missed them in the description box. Thanks Edit: I see you have them on your Amazon page. I don’t know why I was looking for them individually if I know you usually have them on your Amazon. Baby brain I guess lol
My son is 37 no and has made a career in the Army! I still loved this video! We had a crank swing...nothing automatic then, no baby monitors either. Gee I’m 70 now...wish I was born later😂😂❤️
Same! My sister in law gifted some to us at our shower. I'd never heard of them but after i read the description (out loud at the shower 😂) i told her she was crazy! Then when Babygirl was about six weeks old, we had two full days of no sleep and basically no rest from the crying... We remembered those things, tried them, and never looked back! 😂
My list currently on my second child who’s a week old: halo sleep sacks because they’re adjustable up to 5 months, ergo 4 way baby carrier, mammaroo bassinet for my current baby; it helps him sleep 3 hours at a time(worth the money for us), safety 1st newborn kit, zip onesies ONLY, Boppy nursing pillow, I call the milk pads boobie pads, OWLET SMART SOCK..and I agree with the app; wouldn’t know which side I’m on if it weren’t for that😅
I love Ritual vitamins. I bought it for my daughter after doing a lot of research because she has Celiac disease, hence she is gluten free and also because she does not metabolize folic acid. This is a condition that affects a large percentage of women and they don’t even know it. Ritual prenatal vitamins contain methylated folate which can be absorbed without the body having to convert folic acid into folate. Also I recently began using their vitamins for women over 50 and I love them! By the way I am not affiliated with Ritual. I am just a concerned mother looking out for her daughter’s well being.
Pregnant with my first and found this video so helpful! I really appreciate the opinions on what’s not worth the hype, as it seems like I’m just being inundated with ads telling me all the things I need! It’s so overwhelming. I will be checking out the ritual prenatal, nip shields, and the baby supplements! Thank you Brittany!
I regret buying a lot of swaddles, even the one with velcros, with my son because he hated it and always gets out of it too. But with my second due in August, I will try the zipped swaddles.
Hi there! I’m a Second time mom to be soon. I definitely will look into the windi and probiotics for my second. My daughter also was pretty gassy and uncomfortable as a newborn. My baby was also the same way about the pacifier!
In my day I used Savoy cabbage leaves in my bra to prevent mastitis and it worked 😁 that little gadget was amazing! Tbh I never used any of those things, they all seemed a waste of money for such a short period of time, I didn’t regret it 😉 I did however invest in an angel monitor so I knew at all times she was breathing and later on as a toddler the alarm would go off if she escaped her crib 😜 it meant I slept soundly knowing she was okay 👌 ♥️♥️♥️
I'm due in June with my second baby, this video couldn't have come at a better time for me 🤗🤗 thank you!!!! One thing I Loved is having this cute Woven Bassinet right next to my bed for my baby to sleep in. He slept so good in it and It was nice having him right there on the side of my bed for nightly feedings.
These are interesting suggestions but in the end your baby WILL let you know what they need. For myself I didn't know babies wake up if they are not swaddles. I have 4 kids, tried to swaddle them because that's what I was told and they always would get out of it. They would cry when swaddled. They all slept good and not wake up or startle themselves while not swaddle. That little thing for the baby belly I just switched to Dr Brown bottles and lucky it worked. For the nails I pull back the skin a little bit and that worked when I cut their nails. Baby gloves work as well just make sure you clean between their fingers to get that linty stuff. I do not know if true but I started to blow on their baby nails and they would slowly fall off with passing time ok not magic right away. This is before you start cutting their nails. To feed I just used night light. I never used sounds and would make vacuum noises and my kids got use to it and slept through it. I would rather try to live a normal life instead of shhh shhh shhh all the time. Still good video because you have to find what works for you and your baby. I do wish I had the weight machine. I do have to say you get curious as to how much they weigh, especially when making a baby book 🤣 God bless everyone and enjoy your babies!
I am not even having a plan to get pregnant ,so why am watching this . Love all of your videos Brittany. Two youtuber I follow you and Emily Norris . These two are the best most honest truly ❤
Just ordered the vava light! Last time around, the I struggled to find something with enough light for breastfeeding but not so much light to really wake the baby up! Hoping this is my solution for my second baby!
I swear by the vava light! Had one for my daughter who is now two when she was a baby, and bought another one when I found out I was pregnant with my son. Perfect amount of light, so easy to adjust and really don’t need to be charged that often. Also great price point. Love it!
I did not have a scale for my first child, but it is something I would invest in if we have another. I feel like I would have so much more peace of mind while breastfeeding
My babies are all grown up, but I still love watching all your content. I personally gave up social media almost 6 years ago so I cannot enter. But wish everyone good luck!!
I totally see your point with pacifiers being potentially trouble down the road and have no children of my own so my opinion is pretty much irrelevant but just as an FYI... pacifiers can help reduce the risk of SIDS significantly! Just something to be aware of :) love your videos!
Please do a video on the different early education styles for baby. I've been reading a lot about Montessori but there are others out there. What will you be trying with Capri? PS: I've been watching since you were pregnant with Carter and had around 800,000 subs? It's been so amazing to watch your beautiful family grow.
When you have no kids and no plans in the immediate future, yet you still need to watch this video xD
Same 😂😅
was just going to comment this! lolol
Or you are 63 and still love baby stuff! 💖😊💖
When you have kids, and don't plan on having more and still watch! Lol
Hahahaha, same!
don't have a baby, don't want a baby... but here I am loyal watching whatever you post lol
was just going to comment this! lolol love brittany!
Same here ❤️ I love that Brittany hasn’t become 100% mom content since having Carter. Most TH-camrs who become moms stop doing all the content I originally followed them for but Brittanys content is so awesome that I even watch the mom stuff!
Ditto
I’m due in August and have been binging these videos. The fact that someone I already watch and love and trust made one.....I’m ecstatic!
Personally I don’t like baby video monitors that connect to my phone. I much prefer the ones with the separate parent unit. Anyone anywhere can connect to my wifi or hack my system and watch us and talk to my babe. Nope nope. I’ll stick with a closed circuit one!!
Im due in august too. And have been watching these videos
I'm due mid August:)
For weighing my niece I weight my self first on a scale then I way myself with my niece on the scale. Then just find the difference. We can’t afford a baby scale.
That’s smart. Baby scales are so expensive for the small amount of time you need it for.
I do that with my cat 😹😸
That’s what I would of done. I just made sure my kids were going to the bathroom normally. That way I knew they were getting enough breast milk. The weight took care of itself.
@@traczebabe exactly if you have enough wet or dirty nappies it means they're getting enough. I don't find the baby scales necessary.
And you also save that space! I love being minimalist where I can 😌
My baby is 7 months old. I have never changed her anywhere but on her changing table. I don’t know how people do it anywhere else! My back hurts soo bad if I try some where else. I have mine high up too, lol. I agree with the pacifier, that was her New Years resolution lol.
I totally agree! I used a changing table with both of my kids. It's a must-have for me!
I loved pacifiers. They were an amazing comfort to my kids. Their eyes would roll back in their head from falling asleep the second you gave it to them. And I had to eventually break them of it at some point but it was no big deal. I’m all about all the comfort things for the babies. Blankies, etc.

My son was on the paci till almost 2.5. His teeth are fine.
It's a huge sids reducer and just don't get the round ones, mam all the way, very thin, no issues
On the subject of the pacifier my daughter didn’t want it use a pacifier ether but then she read that it reduces sids by 95% that is huge. and a big mental relief to a new mom.

My #1 for breastfeeding is Hakka silicone pumps! They're great for catching leaking milk and helping build up a stash.
Yes!! I almost mentioned this definitely recommend especially if you are trying to build a stash
I'm due at the end of August with a very surprising pregnancy. But super excited to have another girl. My only other child is almost 13 so this refresher video is very nice because I've forgotten so much!!!
So true and things change so quickly too. New products and all Xx
My kids are teens and I have no plans for another baby but yet I love your channel so much so I still watch your video!
I don’t have a baby and am not planning on having one anytime soon... but still gonna watch 💕 Can’t be too prepared lol
hii
Im 36 and I just found out I’m pregnant with my 3rd. I was done so this is such a surprise. I have a 7 and 10 year old. I even donated the crib, bassinet etc that we had, last December. Thanks for these videos. I have to start over!!!
Congrats!!
Here I am clicking on your video and watching the whole thing as a 55 year old with two adult kids.
Haha you’re a real one 😂😂💕💕
It’s fun to compare to your experience.
That egg light is the best! Both of my kids have one and they love it.
I used the changing table with both kid its so convenient cuz trash can and all is at the chaning table.

Thank you SO much for the info about reflux. I'm helping with my twin grandsons, one of whom suffers badly with this condition. The gadget for helping him pass that air has been a life saver and saved us so much frustration. Thx for taking time to share it!
The paci isn't always as rough as some people have it. It varies on each baby just like everything else! :) For prenatal I asked my obgyn what she took for her 4 babies...and I took that one. 😜
Juice plus omega blend is the best of the best omega blend out there. Started taking it when my memory was all out of whack and WOW DID THEY HELP!!!!
I’m 7 weeks with my 1st and all I’ve been doing for the past week or two is watch videos like this lolol! They’re so helpful! My husband and I are SOOO BEYOND excited though!
I also use a rubber and plastic sheet...for changing diapers. No table. It's portable and light weight and very handy
Im 18 yrs old, due this July with my husband and I’s very first (little girl), so super excited to watch this video! I’ve actually watched your older ones, but excited to see an updated one!
My son is 3 now but I love always watch all your videos. Love to see what you used this time around that didn’t use last time (baby scale) wish I used that too
I was waiting for Ryan to come on at the end and say "honey have you seen my binkie???? 😂😂😂😂
I totally agree with no pacis. Great video. Also highly recommend a haaka for breastfeeding.
I got a babybjorn bounce for my son 4 years ago. At first he didn't like it but when he started siting on it by himself he loved bouncing on it and he STILL uses it to this day. He can't bounce on it anymore but he loves laying on it. we are expecting our second baby (a girl) and I can't wait for her to use this same bouncer definitely worth the money for me.
Personally I don’t like baby video monitors that connect to my phone. I much prefer the ones with the separate parent unit. Anyone anywhere can connect to my wifi or hack my system and watch us and talk to my babe. Nope nope. I’ll stick with a closed circuit one!!
Completely agreed.
I am the same way. I feel technology can help but we should not be totally dependent on it.
Plus wifi is really bad.
@@Itscipens Yes. That would be my main concern.
@@OceanLover1188 right? And having Bluetooth on so much kills your phone battery!
I really LOVE my doc a tot, both my kids refused to sleep in a bassinet, but sleep amazing in the doc a tot. I also have the halo bassinet which is nice but i dont use it and its big and heavy.
I stumbled across your channel right after you had Carter, a couple months before I was due with my son. Subscribed right after. It was a video for newborn must haves and I pretty much bought most of the stuff you recommended and my son loved it all! A lot of the stuff I got made my life easier. This time Im pregnant with my second and I’m glad to see an updated version. :) I love your channel!
Yay! My sis is having her first baby in July! Sending this to her!
I'll weight my self and then with my baby, then subtract 😁 love those sacs too, i still prefer garden of life vitamins over ritual, plus vitamins are very susceptible to light. Yey for zippered onesies! the nipple shield was the only thing that help me latch my baby correctly and be able to feed my baby, even if it was for only a few weeks, wow wireless light! Thank you for everything!
My children are 31 and 27 I'm still going to watch I haven't missed a video that Brittany has made so far
I 10000% agree on the Pacifiers!!! No one is my family has ever used them because they are just crutches. I don't understand why people try to "force" them on their babies. Plus their smiles are way to cute to be blocked by a giant rubbery plastic germ magnet!
The baby swing we got saved our lives! 🙏For a few weeks our baby was only sleeping during car rides or in the baby swing. 😬
(One other thing that I LOVE and use every single day is the exercise ball. I used it during my pregnancy as well. :) )
I used those Love to Dream sleep sacks for my 2nd and I LOVE it. Wish I had gotten them for my first!
I don’t have kids. Nor do I plan on having any in the next couple years. And yet I still love watching this. So informative!
I don’t have kids and I still don’t miss your videos! When I have kids , i will be re-watching all of your videos! Thank you ❤️
Oh my goodness thank you!! That means a lot
Good point about the pacifiers. My youngest was sooo dependent on his. Finally, the night of his 3rd bday, I threw them all in the garbage. However, I was afraid I'd give in if he just couldn't sleep without it. I grabbed his last dirty diaper and rolled the pacifiers inside. That way I couldn't retrieve it even if I wanted to! 🤦
33 weeks today and I don’t trust anyone more than you!!!! 💛💛💛
Great advice! I was mad because my baby girl stayed in the hospital for 5 days and the nurses in the NICU pushed a paci on her. As soon as we took her home she never took another one. I would never force it because my sister ended up with buck teeth because of sucking on her thumb for life! In my opinion don't even buy them, they will never know what their missing.
I don’t have a baby and are not planning on having any lol but I still watched because I can’t skip any of your videos 😂
I actually bought the Snoo in desperation when my baby was about 6 weeks old and it worked like a dream. He’s about to be grown out of it though and I’m terrified lol
Thank you your videos are the best with all details, I'm pregnant with my first baby and trust your recommendation! 💕
I've been watching your home videos for a while now and you are one of my favorite youtubers, and now I'm having my first baby and your videos are so useful and informative thank you so much for sharing all your tricks and tips to make this whole thing a little easier cause I have no clue what I'm doing 😅
I am on my 4th month taking Ritual women’s vitamins. I also did my research. When I breastfed, I used that nipple shield and it was a lifesaver! I am watching this for great ideas to either pass on or purchase for any baby showers! Thanks Brittany! I thought of you this morning as I opened another facial cleanser my brother sent me from Vasseur! 😘
This was a very informative video 👍 personally used pacifiers for both of my boys, they have no speech problems and no dental problems. They only used it for sleep/ naps I did not give it to them when they are awake and upset or crying , bored and playing. Transition was easy because of this. Pacifiers can be a great tool if used correctly. I agree, if Bub doesn't take it then leave it that way. ❤️
First time momma here and my most loved product is our keekaroo peanut changer. Hands down the it’s been the best to have an easily wipable but comfy changing surface for our son. Or else our laundry would be exponentially more! Hehehe great video!
This is awesome advice! I’m a new mom to a 7 week old and I think I agree with pretty much all of these recs! Also, Facebook marketplace is amazing these days. We got our Mamaroo on there for $100, and our love to dream swaddles for $15. That way, if she hates them (she likes both, thank goodness), it’s not as much money lost!
Followed the new page omg vitamin D and probiotics! Who knew adding all the things to my registry this is my double rainbow baby first time mom I'm stoked!
I don't have a child yet but I totally agree on the paci thing, I might change my mind but for now I think it's an unnecessary crutch that can be a misery to break. Also I think I've seen some stuff about potentially messing with their teeth growing in correctly I could be wrong tho.
Some people love and swear by them but ultimately I’m glad my kids didn’t take it
I haf my first kid throw binky away in a river . The second i told her i put it in her belly ! It worked .
All 4 of my kids take a pacifier. This one will too. The only nightmare was my 2 year old. Only bc I didn't take it at 1. They all have straight teeth. My 2 year old was eating so much he would throw up so it was a necessity with him. Along with the others. But that is my experience. Some moms never regret giving it to them.
Brittany I don’t know a lot of these products by name. I’m expecting a baby in May and I love all the advise you give but I gotta be able to see it, do you have any links or pictures? Thanks for this video, will save me a lot of money for my little guy.
Hi - now sure what you mean I showed each of the items in the video 💕 links are in the description box :)
Brittany Vasseur
I should’ve been more specific sorry I’m multi tasking.. working and I had to watch since you uploaded. I like to watch when you upload 🙂
Brittany Vasseur it was the items that you don’t think are worth it. After you showed the items you liked and have. I must have missed them in the description box. Thanks
Edit: I see you have them on your Amazon page. I don’t know why I was looking for them individually if I know you usually have them on your Amazon. Baby brain I guess lol
I watched your carter version of this when I was pregnant with my son 3 years ago and I’m now watching this one pregnant with baby #2
My son is 37 no and has made a career in the Army! I still loved this video! We had a crank swing...nothing automatic then, no baby monitors either. Gee I’m 70 now...wish I was born later😂😂❤️
Don't have kids and won't be having any. I still watch this cause I know people who have have them. Knowledge is power.☀️
Thanks for the support!!
My kids are 18, 21 and 24...grandkids are 1 and 5 but I'm still watching this video to show support! XO
the windi was absolutely life saving for us. on MANY occasions.
Same! My sister in law gifted some to us at our shower. I'd never heard of them but after i read the description (out loud at the shower 😂) i told her she was crazy! Then when Babygirl was about six weeks old, we had two full days of no sleep and basically no rest from the crying... We remembered those things, tried them, and never looked back! 😂
My list currently on my second child who’s a week old: halo sleep sacks because they’re adjustable up to 5 months, ergo 4 way baby carrier, mammaroo bassinet for my current baby; it helps him sleep 3 hours at a time(worth the money for us), safety 1st newborn kit, zip onesies ONLY, Boppy nursing pillow, I call the milk pads boobie pads, OWLET SMART SOCK..and I agree with the app; wouldn’t know which side I’m on if it weren’t for that😅
I love Ritual vitamins. I bought it for my daughter after doing a lot of research because she has Celiac disease, hence she is gluten free and also because she does not metabolize folic acid. This is a condition that affects a large percentage of women and they don’t even know it. Ritual prenatal vitamins contain methylated folate which can be absorbed without the body having to convert folic acid into folate. Also I recently began using their vitamins for women over 50 and I love them! By the way I am not affiliated with Ritual. I am just a concerned mother looking out for her daughter’s well being.
My daughter never used the pacifiers, she loved the Fisher Price rocking chair. I hope to have a second baby some day 🤞🏼
Large muslin blanket for swaddling. By far my favorite item for the new born age.
Totally agree on the bouncer seat! We have one from Fisher Price that we use allll the time and it was only $30
Pregnant with my first and found this video so helpful! I really appreciate the opinions on what’s not worth the hype, as it seems like I’m just being inundated with ads telling me all the things I need! It’s so overwhelming. I will be checking out the ritual prenatal, nip shields, and the baby supplements! Thank you Brittany!
I regret buying a lot of swaddles, even the one with velcros, with my son because he hated it and always gets out of it too. But with my second due in August, I will try the zipped swaddles.
The Ergobaby Embrace is the ONLY way my munchkin will take a nap. We are OBSESSED with it.
Hi there! I’m a Second time mom to be soon. I definitely will look into the windi and probiotics for my second. My daughter also was pretty gassy and uncomfortable as a newborn. My baby was also the same way about the pacifier!
In my day I used Savoy cabbage leaves in my bra to prevent mastitis and it worked 😁 that little gadget was amazing! Tbh I never used any of those things, they all seemed a waste of money for such a short period of time, I didn’t regret it 😉
I did however invest in an angel monitor so I knew at all times she was breathing and later on as a toddler the alarm would go off if she escaped her crib 😜 it meant I slept soundly knowing she was okay 👌 ♥️♥️♥️
I'm due in June with my second baby, this video couldn't have come at a better time for me 🤗🤗 thank you!!!! One thing I Loved is having this cute Woven Bassinet right next to my bed for my baby to sleep in. He slept so good in it and It was nice having him right there on the side of my bed for nightly feedings.
These are interesting suggestions but in the end your baby WILL let you know what they need. For myself I didn't know babies wake up if they are not swaddles. I have 4 kids, tried to swaddle them because that's what I was told and they always would get out of it. They would cry when swaddled. They all slept good and not wake up or startle themselves while not swaddle. That little thing for the baby belly I just switched to Dr Brown bottles and lucky it worked. For the nails I pull back the skin a little bit and that worked when I cut their nails. Baby gloves work as well just make sure you clean between their fingers to get that linty stuff. I do not know if true but I started to blow on their baby nails and they would slowly fall off with passing time ok not magic right away. This is before you start cutting their nails. To feed I just used night light. I never used sounds and would make vacuum noises and my kids got use to it and slept through it. I would rather try to live a normal life instead of shhh shhh shhh all the time. Still good video because you have to find what works for you and your baby. I do wish I had the weight machine. I do have to say you get curious as to how much they weigh, especially when making a baby book 🤣 God bless everyone and enjoy your babies!
“Houdini babies” 🤣
I am not even having a plan to get pregnant ,so why am watching this . Love all of your videos Brittany. Two youtuber I follow you and Emily Norris . These two are the best most honest truly ❤
Just ordered the vava light! Last time around, the I struggled to find something with enough light for breastfeeding but not so much light to really wake the baby up! Hoping this is my solution for my second baby!
I swear by the vava light! Had one for my daughter who is now two when she was a baby, and bought another one when I found out I was pregnant with my son. Perfect amount of light, so easy to adjust and really don’t need to be charged that often. Also great price point. Love it!
@@carliarussell3550 great! Thanks!
I did not have a scale for my first child, but it is something I would invest in if we have another. I feel like I would have so much more peace of mind while breastfeeding
I'm here, being 19 with no children or plans anytime soon. But for some reason I love watching these kinds of videos 😁
My babies are all grown up, but I still love watching all your content. I personally gave up social media almost 6 years ago so I cannot enter. But wish everyone good luck!!
It's so nice to see I'm not the only one who isn't pregnant nor do I plan on having a kid soon but I'm still watching this video lol
I'm 12 weeks pregnant with any number 2. So I did enjoy this video. It helped. I'm going to get the prenatal vitamins you suggested
Me: watches video in it’s entirety while fully aware that my daughter is thirteen and I no longer have a uterus 🥴
❤❤
Haha!! Me too..no more baby room,and my baby is 22.🤣😅🥰
baby room=uterus
Then years and years later come the grandkids. We need to stay up to date just in case.
😔
I have not bought anything for my baby due May 1st this would be awesome to win..and thank you so much for your tips definitely helpful!!!🥰😊
I totally see your point with pacifiers being potentially trouble down the road and have no children of my own so my opinion is pretty much irrelevant but just as an FYI... pacifiers can help reduce the risk of SIDS significantly! Just something to be aware of :) love your videos!
I feel the same about a paci. Both of my kids took it a handful of times the first couple weeks or months they dropped the habit and not a problem
For the scale part, could you just use a regular scale and weigh yourself and then weigh yourself holding your baby and subtract the difference?
Please do a video on the different early education styles for baby. I've been reading a lot about Montessori but there are others out there. What will you be trying with Capri? PS: I've been watching since you were pregnant with Carter and had around 800,000 subs? It's been so amazing to watch your beautiful family grow.
Just had my baby and the Hakka has been life changing for breastfeeding!
