    I'm watching this after having gone through my third miscarriage in a row. No baby yet. But I'd still like to know for when my rainbow baby happens.

    I’m 3 months pregnant with my first baby! And this is soooo helpful because as a first time mum you’re so overwhelmed when you go to the baby section in shops or like mamas and papas and you just don’t know what you need! Thank you ❤

    I really love your channel, I find it overwhelming trying to put a list together and understand the things I need to buy. This simplifies things so much, plus the links are super helpful. The tips too, especially a microwave steriliser as opposed to the plug ins. I find your advice practical and logical. Thank you 🎉

    Highly recommend the recaro baby car seat. It's a little more expensive but it's such good quality, its extended rear facing for safety and is just so practical, which is definitely a must with having 2! We did have to get an adapter to be able to use it woth our silver cross chassis though but it wasn't expensive at all. Good luck with the search!

    Absolutely love this video! Honestly the best recommendation video I’ve watched - second baby is due soon and trying to refresh my memory. Bizzigrowing baby carries look amazing and so glad I hadn’t yet purchased the more expensive one after seeing so many mamas with them!! 🥺

    The avionaut pixel pro infant car seat is the safest on the market. Bit more than your budget if you want the isofix base too (we don't use it, it's just as safe without) Its so lightweight but provides an excellent fit for tiny babies and my high centile 16 month old still fits in it. It uses the same adaptors as maxi cosi too so will fit on your pram with the same adaptors :) Genuinely wouldn't use anything else x

    when my little one was born he never wore what we call 0000 which is newborn size, we went straight to 000 which is 0-3 months because he was 4.3kg and 55cm. But I found I was fine with 7 vests and 8-10 zippy suits. He was a summer baby so it was easy to get stuff washed and dry before running out of clothes for him!

    Hi, aww I'm 30 weeks pregnant I have 10 kids already and even I feel like I've forgotten what we need... My youngest is nearly 5 so I've not had a gap as such before... This video is making me want to go upstairs through all what I have got so far because I don't feel we've much. I did manage to get a second hand pram off my friend which has saved us loads... I'm with you on lots of vests and babygrows... George at Asda is really good for kids clothes.... I've always had a Moses basket for mine but tempted to get a next to me or a snuzpod... I agree with newborn socks they never stay on do they haha and if baby is in a grow anyway no need for them xx

    If you’re planning to breastfeed, I would recommend buying a breast pump and some milk storage bottles/bags. However wait until after baby is born, to see if breastfeeding is something you wish to do first, as breast pumps can be expensive! I was able to trial an electric breast pump from the maternity wing after giving birth and then bought a breast pump when we got home, so it’ll be worthwhile seeing if your local health services have a breast pump you can trial. My baby had a tongue tie which made latching difficult, so being able to express milk really helped us with our breast feeding journey, as I exclusively expressed in the beginning and fed via bottle, then once the tongue tie was resolved, we moved to feeding directly from the breast. Although baby is able to successfully breast feed now, I still regularly express milk, as it means dad can feed baby the milk with a bottle if I need a break. Good luck!

    Highly highly recommended Joie I-level signature!!! Its one of only few car seats that can lay flat in the car as well as the pram xx

    Good for you, not justifying yourself on your feeding choices - you shouldn’t have to! I would absolutely recommend going to a breastfeeding class if you can before baby girl comes. I have had a really positive experience so far (first time mum of a nearly two month old) because I felt more prepared! It is hard at the beginning but if you can push through the difficult times it will get so much easier! ❤

    It's funny how different things are for different people, we have literally never put the car seat onto the buggy, we found out kind of superfluous. I would get the buggy out of the car and unfold it, pop the basinet on and then take baby out of the car seat and into the basinet. Also my baby LOVED the basinet. Much more so than the restricted car seat. And it gave piece of mind regarding sleep and the risks of that. So for all first time mums: my recommendation would be to get something cheap of marketplace and try it out when baby is here, to see what you like and what baby likes. And then you can always splurge on the expensive travel system when baby a few weeks old and sell the other one!

    Oooh last thing. I would personally get the babyzen buggy board if you’re using it with the yoyo. It will be tested on that pram and work better than the one you’ve linked. The lascal is ok but I find it bulky to store and a bit of a pain to fit xxx

    My 2nd boy is now 18 months. My recommendations are rascal and friends nappies and wipes (found in tesco). I use a natural nappy cream from queen bee naturals. (Can be used all over the body for excema, dry skin, craddle cap, etc ) Using this combo my wee man has never had a red bum. I bought metanium for emergency and have never used it.

    VINTED VINTED VINTED! I buy everything from Vinted now and I tend to just donate all the clothing once I’ve used it and then save all the must haves incase we have another baby. I have saved so much money :)
