My clothing rule is 5 outfits per size 3 sleepers per size. It has always helped me keep things simple and stress free.

I would love a twin item video!! I am due with twin boys on march 13th 💙💙😅🤯🥰 I found your channel when I went searching for advice from other twin moms 💖

This woman be raising 8 babies, amazing. I’ve subscribed...

Swaddling its such an odd concept in Spain. We don't do it. I babysat when I lived in the US, so I saw it a lot and go used to it. Now whenever I tell someone from Spain about it, they all look at me with disbelieve and say: they tie their babies with a cloth? haha. I am not judging but it's funny how some things are cultural.

I have 8 and I found that buying as I need and as I go was better than stocking up. Especially diapers. Every child grows differently. The most expensive diaper you buy are the ones you don't use.

Bailey Carter I laughed at that too! 🤣

I love the divine intervention with Benjamin’s second basket 🧺

About newborn clothes: they usually don't get too much wear and tear, babies don't live in them for too long, so they are perfect to find thrifted!

28 weeks today and 18. I’m finishing up my senior year of high school and I’ve been feeling quite overwhelmed lol so this helped a ton!

Not even a mom yet, but a nanny and have worked in children’s homes, and love these videos. love them

“I just put a sock on that fool’s hand” I freaking love her 😭😭😭

As a pregnant mom of 4 I can totally attest to this! 🙌🏼 you are so right!! If you want to make the burp clothes more fun, sew a cute piece of flannel receiving blanket in the middle of the cloth diaper! That’s what I did. 🐥

Please do a video about favs and regrets for the twins!! ❤

I LOVE all your fun comments, analogy, and goofiness. 😍 A breath of fresh air and makes me smile. 😊

Really enjoyed the style of this video. Really watchable. Agree with your advice too. I have a 3 month old. And I never learn

Glad you talked about the Ergo carrier! I’m due in 4 weeks exactly & finishing up my senior year of college. I’m going to be baby wearing to class for the last month & a half of the semester & bought an Ergo for that!

I am here to watch Angela talking! She is so beautiful and its relaxing to watch her for me! Also learnt a lot for the future when I will have my baby!

Love your picks and your nays are spot on. Baby towels... I hate how they won't fold & stack with other towels. You should totally do the twins video, too. My advice, as a mom of twins: 1. Buy all matching boring plain socks, cause you don't need to spend precious time matching them. Oh, and one of every "cute" pair will go missing. 2. Buy a mesh zipper laundry delicates bag to put all those socks in, so they don't clog your front loader washer drain. Or if you have a top loader, a bag keeps you from having to reach into the abyss to get all the tiny socks. 3. Clorox 2 is a life saver for the brand new white onsie that your baby pooped on, even if you forgot to pull it out of the diaper bag and treat it the moment you got home.

Buy the grow socks I had 3 kids aged 5, 3 and 1 all in the same size

Your bath story cracked me up! We have 5 kids 7 and under, so bathtime is also more of an assembly line vs recreation situation 😅

My daughter is now 7 weeks and I’m glad you shared this because I love your videos!

The zip up swaddles SAVED me with our newborn twins we fostered! They are my FAV product!

So great you used the changing basket “flat basket” as a place for him to get some tummy time in . I wouldn’t think to use for that.

The diaper inserts are called flour sack towels! They work sooo well as burp rags! We also have the same baby tub and it's great!

Jess F those are the Gerber prefolds! We used to use fsts in our cloth diapers though

100% agree! I had the EXACT same favorites - Copper Pearl was way better than Aden & Anais blankets. And the angel care tub is still going strong for my almost 2 year old. Baby wearing can be soooo intimidating, but practice at home with a full, happy baby for short amounts of time, until you and baby get the hang of it. I promise it's a game changer. I was afraid to make an investment on a baby carrier but I'm so glad I did! Great video!

My boys never wore newborn any thing, they came out 3 month size in clothing. Mind you they was over / just about 9 pounds, so 😳 on the bigger size lol.

I need to wean my daughter out of her Love to Dream swaddles, but I keep procrastinating. She will seriously have wide open eyes and by the time I zip it up she’s asleep. Love them!

Yes yes yes on the twins video!! Almost 14 weeks pregnant with twins and feeling very “lost in the sauce” about the must haves. These are babies number 5 & 6 for us so we’re not newbies but I feel like we may need more then what we usually need for our babes.

I’ve watched a few of these now but when you said how much experience you’ve had with babies I am SUPER PUMPED FOR THIS. Definitely subscribed now👏🏻👏🏻

Due with #4 in the summer and things have changed so much since I last had a baby (7 years ago!) Thanks for this video

I love your videos. Both the family vlog and here. Just makes me happy. The twins and my daughter are only a few months apart so anything you do for the twins I’m zoned in 100%.

I’m adopting too and so grateful for this info! Thanks! :)

I'm probably the only mom who loved the softness/smallness of my son's baby towels and washcloths. Especially the towels with the hood attached. As you grow in your motherhood, you realize what works for you and what doesn't. Loved the video

The love to dream swaddles were a life saver for my twin boys! Hands down would recommend them to everyone lol

I love how you don’t see color as a problem !💯✊🏽🥰❤️🙏🏾 glad there are people like you in this world! Your kids are beautiful ❤️🥰😘🙏🏾 God is Good🙏🏾💯🥰

oh, Angie! I laugh so hard when I watch you. I love your humour and personality!

My 3rd baby is due in July and I have winged it with my other two and I'm wanting to be a bit more put together with this one. Lol

I don’t have kids but I just love watching your videos! You have such a calming, warm voice. I put your videos on when I’m working around the house and it feels like I’ve got a friend sitting on the couch chatting! I’m also really loving the way you’ve split the two channels - I still really enjoy the family videos, but also LOVING the Angie videos and following along on your journey (and decluttering at the same time!!)

Your video was spot on! I am a mother of 4, pregnant with # 5. I have gone all out for every baby, well.. because I just love buying baby stuff. After baby 4 I gave away everything thinking we were done. So buying for # 5 I promised my husband I would go minimal this time. You have reminded me what essentials looks like. Thank you. My husband thanks you.

I’m 22 weeks pregnant with #7 and I have a set of twins (5 years old) I would love to see what your must haves for twins were..also baby towels and wash cloths are so pointless especially when your newborn is screaming and you’re just trying to get someone to hand you any towel because the one you thought was in the bathroom is now gone

Twin vids is what brought me to you when we found out we were expecting. All the twin content please!

I just gave birth to my 6th child and we homeschool as well. I've been really enjoying your videos and find myself looking to them for ideas and inspiration. Thank you!

Its funny how my babies are 15 and 16 and factory is closed lol!! But i still watched every bit of this video ! :)

That's what I'm say'n 😂😂 Mine are 19,17&13... Yet here I am 🤷🙌

I just wanted to say, I LOVED this video! I learned so many of these things with my first kiddo, her reflux was SO bad. And all the swings and bouncers and things we got (we tried hard and had many losses so we were very excited about our little rainbow baby) but we didn’t use a single one! Now pregnant again with baby number two, and watching this was the reality check I needed to not go down that swarm again! 💚 thank you!

I just found your channel and I cannot wait to binge watch your videos! I'm 33 weeks along with my first baby, a little boy. Immediately subscribed!

PJs with mittens that can fold over we’re great for us! Also, adding to the Velcro thing- Velcro bibsreally startle my kiddo- he flinched every time he hears it!

I was just looking into the design dua Moses baskets! I love the look of them. That little shorter one is actually a changing basket.

Even as a second time mom, this video is SO HELPFUL. Thank you so much for sharing this video!

I completely love velcro swaddles. They've worked way better for my kids than regular swaddles. Agree on the bathtub though!

I got lucky and I have a few friends that had boys last year. I have been gifted so many boy clothes/ baby items and I haven’t even had my baby shower yet! 🙌🏻 I’ve been putting off buying anything unless it really speaks to me until after the shower. I’m obsessed with these videos especially on early mornings where a kicking baby wakes me up. Lol

Yes, please to the twin video! Love this-it’s so much more helpful than the videos made by new moms who have money to burn. I’m always like, Girl, I’ve got a kid in college right now, I can’t afford all that mess! 💕

Wow! Baby products have changed a lot since my 12 year old daughter was a baby. I saw some really good products like the formula mixer and the bath tub one. I enjoy seeing all the latest gear out there. It helps when buying a gift for a friend and trying to figure out what will be a good one.

You. Look. Amazing! 👏🏻 Wow! The twins are still so small, unbelievable how well you lost all the weight! You look even better than before and crazy how young and rested you look like, you have so much on your plate! Go Mama!

We’re very close to being active with our adoption agency, I’ve watched so many of these videos, but I really loved yours!

As a new twin mama I’d love a video! Your pregnancy videos with twins were a lifesaver

Angie you are my absolute favorite youtuber to watch because you are both beautiful and easy to watch while remaining totally relatable ❤️

Well gosh- what a kind thing to say 💗

I’m expecting twins in June and would love a twin version of this video!

This was such an informative video! Early on you mentioned in one of your videos the Ergo Baby carrier and I am so thankful you did, because I got it and I LOVE that thing, even 4 months later. Could never get the wraps to work for us. So thanks for that! ETA: You were exceptionally charming, captivating and entertaining in this video, it might just be my favorite.

“ just put a sock on that man “ 🤣❤️👌🏻 love it! Simple !!

I would love to see a must-haves and regrets version for twins!! Then I can be prepared if I ever have twins 🤣

I just put a sock on that fool’s hand😂😂😂 Love this video Angie! Copper pearl swaddles and the love to dream zip ups were absolute holy grails for us!

Great list! I do foster care for babies and between our bios and our many foster babies we have gone through a LOT of gear. You hit some of my faves!

Seriously knowledge about good products is a big reason I want a 3rd baby! It’s like by the time you figure out what’s worth the money you are done having kids (in my case)

Perfect timing...in my third trimester for my second pregnancy! Yes! Totally agree about the baby gadgets. When in doubt wait to see if you need it! My son was 9lbs 11oz, newborn size lasted like a week. 0-3 months is the way to go! I have to giggle because we LOVED the velcro swaddles...worked great for us! 😂 We never ended up using sleep sacks or wearable blankets ever, but people love them! Just goes to show that every baby and family is different 😊 you do you boo 😘

I keep hearing negative reviews on the Mama Roo. I'm feeling very thankful for these types of videos.

We used the Halo Sleep Sack and it’s Velcro and we loved it!!!!

This was VERY helpful. I really like the way you shared information. Thank you!

You look so good Angie! Great suggestions! I wish I had those when my girls were little. Btw the started IF because of you and I looove it! Going into week two

ah gonna give the Moses baskets a try next baby! my baby hated her swing too. money down the drain ha

You would LOVE kyte baby sleepers. Im sad I never found them sooner! Great basic colours so soft an super stretchy to help with fast growing babies!

Going thru these comments everyone on their 7th 8th baby and I'm just here 10weeks wit my first 🤣 video was perf for me I love this vid saved this new mom a fortune 😍

I actually have gone through some wipe warmers! We have always cloth diapered, so I use my wipe warmer to hold today’s wet cloth wipes. Baby bath- we got an actual tub because I hated sitting there waiting for the big tub to fill enough for the little bath positioner thing. Baby carriers- I actually hate stretchy wraps. I feel like they are way too hot and too prone to sag. I much, much prefer woven wraps. And a good woven wrap will last for the entirety of a baby’s wearing time- even into the preschool years. I do also love a woven ring sling for a tiny baby because it is just easier on me when I’m sitting and standing and using the restroom.

I bought so many different swaddles and my son hated having his arms tied down. I wasn’t able to use any of them. I should’ve knows because every ultrasound appointment his hands were by his face. It comforts him to have his hands close to his face.

Angela! You are a super Momma! Thank you so so much for making these videos and sharing with us!

When we got our dog she was having some separation anxiety so I tossed on my moby stuck the puppy in and out the door to pick up my oldest from school got a couple strange looks but it worked

May I just say I love your sass you sprinkle throughout your videos. I had my first baby last year and wish I had that newborn ergo carrier and Moses basket. Definitely getting if there's a #2. Finally! Good to see SOMEBODY put the momaroo and snoo on a regret list so people consider if it will actually help their specific situation.

The nosefrida is also great for sucking stuff that they put up their nostrils or ears. But totally agree to just pass on single purpose products. I will say I still remember this awesome ducky wrap around towel I had when I was preschool/elementary school age. Used it for years.

Please make a twins video! I just found out I’m having twin girls and need all of the tips and advice you can share! 💕

Hey Beautiful, loved this. I used to nanny for a family with twin boys. I believe they were more of a blessing to me than vice versa, lol. I remember the infinite plethora of gadgets and doodads. Some were gimmicky and others priceless (the nose frida thingy.) They will be 5 soon and I still see them on a regular basis.

Love your sense of humor!!

Wooh Love to Dream is an Australian company! I wish I’d skipped swaddles all together and gone straight to the Love to Dreams.

I love your baby/kid videos, always so helpful. Yes please to the twin stuff video 😊

My absolute favorite baby blankets are Muslin, mostly Aden and Anais. I prefer a couple sleep sacks over swaddling. Honestly all 3 of babies never liked being swaddled. I love the lifefactory baby bottles. Flour sack towels are absolutely the best for using for burp rags and for using for cloth diapers. My favorite cloth diapers are Alva and applecheeks. For disposable diapers I like the honest company diapers. I loved the foldable baby bath thing can’t remember the brand, but it has mesh in it as well. You have a great list and glad you shared what works for you. 💖

If you’re like me and get stressed out by wraps then get the baby k’tan! It’s so simple to use, comfortable, and versatile. I like my ergo and my lillebaby for hiking and back wearing.

I love these videos even though we just had our second and last baby in December! Definitely agree with the Baby Brezza formula thing! It's a lifesaver in the middle of the night when you're half asleep. Even my dad who is snobbish about not needing a lot of the newer high tech baby stuff loves it when he's watching my daughter. My best advice and what we did for our second child is to wait to buy a lot of baby stuff until your baby is here. Every baby is so different and you will save a lot of money by just making a nest egg and just waiting to see what they like. The first week all you really need are clothes, diapers/wipes, a safe place to sleep, a way to feed them and a carseat to bring them home. While we were in the hospital with our second we paid attention to if she liked being swaddled, rocked etc and which formula/bottle she liked. Then we ordered everything online and everything was there when we arrived home or shortly after. Also sign up for all the free boxes you can like target, walmart, amazon etc. You recieve samples so you're not paying money to see which diapers, bottles, pacifiers your baby likes. It will save you a lot of money in the end and you can donate whatever you end up not using from them.

Yes would love to see a what you loved twins addition. My cousin, is due in May with twins.

New subscriber..and not sure why I chose to watch this...I’m a mum of one 26 year old...but LOVED this video...you were so honest and just keeping it real... and could so relate...loved that you said if you want to spoil do so...my son was our second baby..and the relief when he finely arrived safe and well.. it was tough not to spoil him..but as budget had a little something to do with it...he never went without ( with help from family and friends) but yes lesson learnt... especially after you declutter..you realise how much use did this item really have🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕

I love the real mom tips... I totally agree except I love the Velcro swaddles. Those are awesome.

I love how you look , I love white and your make up is so natural and you look fresh and crisp 💕💕💕

Hi Angela, I now you don't know me from Adam but I am one of your new subscriber's and I am adapting two girls. I want to thank you for all the love your shereing with me It's bring me to tears that I'm going to be a full time Mom and my husband is finally ready to be a Father to our family. ❤️ I have struggled to have a baby for 12 years and two years ago a wandrful woman who is also my friend has just give me a chance to be a Mother to two sweet girl's we are so excited we can't what to bring them home thanks again. 😊

I really enjoyed this video, and making a video for items you liked having for twins would be fantastic!

Wow. 8 kids! You're amazing.

YES! Swaddles with zippers are the best! I've tried the velcro and it just never worked, they always escaped!

Loved everything about this video. The sarcasm throughout was 👌On. Point. What we did for our son was beg/borrow/steal the bigger expensive stuff to see if it worked for him (a lot of it didnt including the baby swing), and buy as little as possible. We regretted that in some areas, ie cheaping out on the baby bassinet and just trying to use the multilevel pack n play, and learned from those mistakes. Next baby we will definitely be getting some kind of more comfy/snuggly sleeper for them. For the most part though, I am happy we didnt waste a ton of money on the most expensive stroller/toys/clothes/etc

Aaryn Williams mentioned that she rented her Snoo. That might be a more affordable option. Plus, you don't have to worry about what to do with it when your baby outgrows it.

I love your humor. Thanks!

Baby Brezza is an absolute lifesaver!

I would love to see your twin specific must haves!!

I wish my linen closet was that organized 😅🤣 I laughed so many times during this video lol love this
