Thanks for this - so helpful. Expecting my first baby in winter this year. The moral of the story seems to be: get the basics, but wait until the baby arrives to buy extra things as you need them based on how well your baby sleeps, lifestyle etc.

It’s been 3 years! Hows it been

I cannot believe she’s almost 7months the time has gone so quickly and I feel like literally the other day I was watching videos when you were still pregnant!!!

I am twenty years old, sat in my Stokke chair until I was 16. Then, my mum had a surgery on her back and for the last 4 years, she has been sitting in it because it was the only chair her back did not hurt after surgery. The Stokke chair has been a chair for the whole family and we still love it

Gabi Goddard the Stokke chair is marketed as being able to support an adult. The tray comes off and it can be adjusted to hold an adult. I still don’t really advocate for them, though .. I don’t think they are that comfortable as an adult, and they are priced like an adult chair.

@gabi watson you can remove the wooden piece to put your feet on, lower the Seat and remove the thing that goes in front of your belly and between your legs. When you do all that it is basically just a regular dining chair. I dat on mine until my parents moved home at my 17th.

The IKEA highchair is amazing!! Can’t recommend it enough! It’s so cheap, cleans so easily and the legs are detached so your able to take to grandparents or friends houses. The removal insert is also great I even take this out with me and use in the wooden highchairs you find are in most restaurants to give my son extra support. Great video fleur so so helpful for new mummies xxx

We love love LOVE our Baby Jogger Summit X3! We've had ours for five years and two kids and it's still going strong! And we haven't been gentle with it at all, we took it off roads, up and down mountains over tree roots and rocks and boulders, cobble stoned streets, open fields, mud, rain, sand, gravel..... It's always a smooth ride for parent and baby. It folds easily and the storage space is AMAZING! And you can easily steer it with one hand. And the sun canopy is the biggest I've seen yet on a stroller. Amazing all around. I don't have one single complaint about this stroller. It does weigh a bit more than your common buggy, but that's good, because it means it's really durable and it won't tip over when you run with it around a curve.

Motion sensor is great when they start to get out of bed. Used it more when ours was around 3. It would let us know at night when she got out of bed.

I loved the sleepyhead! We co-sleep with our daughter and it was a godsend. She would fall asleep as soon as we put her in it. It gave her extra space and we felt very safe with her sleeping next to us. The only down side wild be that she grew out of it by 5 or 6 months. She is quite a big baby and there is no way she would last in it until 9 months.

This is why you are the best KZreadr! Thank you for this thorough review/follow up.12 weeks today and this was extremely useful xx

I had the Stokke Trip Trap Chair when I was a child, and when I grew out of it we gave it away, and it is still being used 21 years later. But almost everyone I knew has that one for their children, it is very popular in Denmark.

Exersaucers are a MUST for babies becoming mobile! Perfect to sit them in and keep them entertained while you get stuff done, but also good for them to learn how to play with you near them but not doing the entertaining!

Sitting or propping babies in things when they cannot sit up by themselves is not recommended anymore. It's not good for spine development. Better to be on a blanket on the ground apparently.

Hi Fleur, things I loved and found super useful (especially making the transition from one to two children): Bugaboo Donkey is GENIUS. Can fit one or two kids in there and it just pushes like a DREAM. We live in the countryside too and it has no problems with gravel, grass anything as the wheels are like tyres! Babybjorn bowls, forks and spoons (and their bucket bibs) are a godsend when they start to learn to feed themselves. Britax Römer advansafix iv r car seat - is the new one they just brought out. fantastic as it goes from 9 months to 12 years - grows with the child! Hope this helps. X

Ahh! Love that you did a follow up video. I’ve been holding off on buying anything until we feel we’ve found things we & baby can’t live without. We’ll see how long my no-buy lasts 😂 *runs to Buy Buy Baby tomorrow* haha. As always, you look lovely, Fleur!

LAST recommendation - once your baby can hold herself up - a garden swing! We have one with a harness - so it's very secure - they don't wobble. Their face when you first put them on is PRICELESS!

Super excited to see this video! I've just gone on maternity leave for my first baby. Have watched all your pregnancy/baby update videos!

The V-tech sit to stand ultimate alphabet train has been a great toy for my son who just turned one. He has been playing with it since he was about 8 months and still loves it. It has lots of features and does lots of different things so he never gets bored.

Not planning on having babies any time soon but I love this!!

The Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo sticks out in my mind (my daughter will be 3 on Dec 1). She LOVED it! It kept her entertained and was the perfect thing for her to practice standing/putting weight on her legs. They can turn themselves around to play with the different toys on it as well as get a look around at different points of view of the room. ☺️

Our cybex cloud q arrived today - this makes me so happy that you love it😍😍

We loved the sleepy head pillow, it’s the one thing I wouldn’t be without.

That's funny because most of your worst buys are what I was thinking "this is useless" when you bought it. Anyway we, as parents, have to try and fail and learn. Thank you for your honesty ! 6 to 12 months I thinks is easier... you don't need so much stuff anymore xx

As kids we had the Tripp-Trapp-chair and I loved it so much and sat in it till i was 10 and then my brother got it :) it is the best thing ever!

Love this video! Thank you, Fleur!! So helpful!!! Our first baby is due in October!

We absolutely love our Cybex Cloud Q. It is such good quality & so handy to recline baby when out & about. We’re using it with our second daughter.

Very helpful. As a new mom, I didn't even know these things existed! Thanks for sharing

This video is so incredibly useful, thank you Fleur!!!

Another good use for the motion sensor pads on the baby monitor is if the toddler gets a bit older and you want to be alarmed if they get out of bed, especially in a big house! My mum even used it for one of my siblings, who is disabled . She'd need to know if he gets out of bed, so the motion sensor would give her the alarm if he didn't move in the bed any more :-)

I think it also helpful if you are in a city environment where you get in and out of taxis or cars and buses so that you don’t have to try and fold a frame and put into a boot. Also if you have a small car I guess it means you don’t have a frame to fit in along with all the other things. Idk I think it is extortionate price however and a bit small but I can see the plus sides.

@evainbxl3116

6 жыл бұрын

For us the Doona was a life saver, living in a city and changing cars (my husband dropped the baby at nursery with his car and I picked her up with mine) every day, we were able to be extremely mobile. Not having a frame in the boot is great when travelling or making big shopping trips. We always say that it was the best piece of baby gear we got, even if expensive, we got so much use out of it that it was worth it (our daughter is 2 years old and on the petite side, so she still fits in it and we use it when our parents have to take care of her, extremely handy). But of course every baby and family is different and their needs and preferences are different.

I have a doona, and I hate that it doesn’t have a storage unit. But I do love how convenient it is for travel or on the move since I don’t have to pull anything out of the trunk.

My son loved the Fischer Price playmate when he was a baby. He was a big kicker so he loved that keyboard to exercise his legs. When he was about 4 months we got him the Fischer Price jungle themed jumperoo and he loved being able to jump and grab the animals.

Honestly, I probably sat in my Stoke Tripp Trapp until I was 10-12 years old and could’ve gone even longer. It’s more expensive initially, but it lasts FOREVER and is really good quality.

Thanks for a great video Fleur I'm 7 months pregnant and looking into all the big buys. It was good to see your opinion on what works for your family and what you think is worth it. Big help thanks xxx

I have a 15 month and a 19 month old right now, so we have phased out of the baby baby gear and are in toddler land now! Our must haves are suction bottom bowls and plates, and we absolutely adore our Clek Fllo convertible car seats. We switched them both out of their Cybex infant seats around 1 year old, and they’ll be able to rear face in the Clek seats til 40lbs, and then use them forward facing until they’re big enough for a minimal booster/seat belt. If there’s one item it seems good to splurge on, it’s a good car seat that will last until you don’t need car seats anymore!

I got my son a jumperoo when he was around 5 months old (he's now just turnt 7 months), he uses it everyday and loves it so much, definitely the best purchase for him so far.

I so wish I would’ve been able to afford the doona car seat. I have a 4.5 yr age gap between my children and I think it would’ve been invaluable doing the school run everyday.

I grew up in a family with 6 kids and we all had our own Tripp Trapp chair. We all started out with the little tray table on it and the in between te legs secure piece and then we used it with the little shelf and the big shelf for our feet. I remember our mom would check the chairs every Christmas and every birtday and sometimes she would put the shelves one setting lower. It was always a big deal because mom would say "Look! You have grown again!" and we would be so happy to be taller. The great thing about those chairs is that they are so adjustable that kids eat in a healthy position. A lot of 6 year olds are either too low or to high to the table and it's really bad for the growing process to sit in a bad position. The 4 oldest have all used their chairs until we were at least 16 and my two little brothers are in their teens but they still use their Tripp Trapp because you can take out the little shelf and use the foot shelf as the sitting shelf so you have a normal adult chair. We all put stickers on our chairs that we would get from friends or from notebooks and we'd hang self made braids on it. I have to say, it's a really great investment if you use it to its full potential. If I had kids, I would totally buy them Tripp Trapp chairs as well.

My little girl is 11 months old and from about 6 months has loved her skip hop 3 stage activity centre. You should have a look at it it’s brilliant. They use it until they’re 3 and it turns into their own table. V-tech toys are great too and stacking ring pyramids are great! Hope that helps!Love watching your videos as always 😊

I love my doona my baby is 6 months now and still love it , I use nuby velcro hooks and they work to hang my bag without tipping.

My children are now 8 and 11 so I’m well past the baby stage but really enjoyed watching this and seeing how much design has moved on!!! xXx

Don’t have a baby but I still love these videos! Hope you are well Fleur, River and Mike X

Very helpful video! When (if am lucky enough) to have a family (hopefully soon) I’ll be coming back to watch all of your videos! Xx

I cannot believe how much stuff you actually bought for River. Makes me feel like I don’t have anything for my baby 😱 I am due in 5 weeks and all we have is one pram, the baby box, the car seat, a few clothes and the hospital bag essentials.

I so wish I’d got the cybex car seat. I didn’t realise it lay flat.

Honestly, just ask them what they would like. Everyone has their own personal style and wants or needs as well as being gifted or bought things already. If they say anything you want, go buy them clothes in a larger size ( like a 0 or a 1) of things that are always needed; hats, singlets, T-shirt’s, pants, socks, swimwear or sleepwear or plastic eating and drinking utensils or even drink bottles. No idea how many drink bottles we have been through and my son is three next week (or sun hats. They grow legs honestly). Everyone always buys small sizes forgetting that babies grow so quickly out of them so parents don’t have time to enjoy the gift.

Hi Fleur! Now that you’re using the baby jogger instead of the Cybex Priam, do you recommend getting a different base for the Cloud car seat? I’ve researched a few other options that it seems to fit on with adapters. I just don’t think I could stretch to the full cybex system!

The sleepy head product I think is more commonly used or meant to be used for the baby to sleep in in your bed so that if you roll over in the night you wouldn’t crush or hurt her because you have it to protect her rather than her being in a cot

@sarahlofts7421

Of course their website states that - they are selling a product! People think because reputable companies like John Lewis supply these items that they are safe to use. The sleepyhead is classified as a sleep positioner and not recommended for use unsupervised (therefore when parents are asleep). The lullaby trust strongly recommends that babies are placed flat on their backs, on a firm, waterproof mattress to reduced the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. It is a mother’s personal choice to co-sleep but she should have factual information to make that decision. Midwives and health visitors advise against the use of sleepyheads and all other sleep positioners/pods in the UK

I would like to know what is the Grey round play area crib that you have, please. I saw it in the background of your video.

Isn't the Nuna travel crib a bit unstable once they start standing their feet or trying to climb out? Just wondering, because this is the one we chose to buy, but still didn't buy it because if this, and i don't have any place to see this live before buying. Anyone have any ideas?

My son is always asleep wherever I’m at in my house so we haven’t used the sensor pad much yet. Once he goes into the bassinet (he still sleeps in a sleep pod) and then into his crib, we’ll try to get use out of the whole monitor system

Great video, 6-12 month essentials both my daughters loved were the fisher price jumperoo and the vtech baby walker. Both of these not only helped there development but also kept them entertained x

I used to be obsessed with these videos when I was pregnant! My baby is now 9 months old and yet here I am😂❤️👌🏼

Currently 6 months super grateful for this!

Loved this video my baby is due in September and this was a great help!! Thank you dearly

Pretty sure you couldnt find a 90’s home in norway without a trip trap, loved them!

I love the nuna travel cot! Just had twins boy and girl who are 3 weeks old now called Lahela and Eduardo and travelled to cornwall with them, they love the travel cot as much as i do! Keep up the good video work Fleur, hope Rivers doing well x

I love this kind of videos! My son is 4 months old and I can recommend the stokke Bouncer. It is really comfortable and matches the Steps High Chair, which I love. So he can sit with us at the dining table and is happy to be included :)

So grateful for this video 🙌🏻 my baby is due mid December and there is so many options and hyped products for the ‘big purchases’ it’s so overwhelming!! This has really helped!! I’ve also been looking all over for a car seat that lays flat!! Will definitely be investing in the Cloud Q I think!!! 💜

This is so useful! Though, I would get the Stokke Steps, instead of Trip Trap. The baby insert is a 2 in 1, where it also is a sitter, when you take it off.

We have the Stokke High chair too and it’s great! Now that my son is 18 months he climbs in and out himself. I think he’ll use it untill he’s ready to sit in a real chair. Like your sister we love the baby jogger city mini, we also had the pram part that goes with it and I think it’s a great buy if you live in a city. It’s so easy to get in and out of trains and busses. We used the pram part as a mosesbasket inside when he was tiny 👍🏻

The Stokke Tripp Trapps are so good! My sister and I had them when we were kids and used them until we were about 12 years old. Our parents saved them for us to use with our own children. I don’t have kids myself (yet) but I work in a kindergarten where we use them for most of the kids, and the grown-ups also use them if need be. They really stand the test of time, and are so durable! - I think most family homes in Norway have them.

Hi Fleur. Re the Cybex Priam travel system, did you have the Priam Carrycot, or only used the Cloud Q? Deciding if to buy both or only the Cloud Q! Thanks.

I just gave birth 2 weeks ago, and totally agree with the change bag comment! I find so many of them really garish and awful! I just use a black Longchamp travel bag with an insert. Works perfectly and means my husband is happy to carry it too!

I used to just carry the car seat when running in and out of store for something quick or small instead of pulling the big stroller out, and I wished so many times the car seat just had wheels on the bottom of it lol

Thank you so much for this review! I plan on buying the summit but there are not many reviews out there. So thank's!

Thank youuuu! I’m 32 weeks pregnant and this is very helpful

Love this video. We had our first baby in June. 😀 We have the snuz pod and love it. I understand why it was not fully useful for you as it didn’t reach the height of your bed but for us it fits perfectly and for me as I am breastfeeding it’s an absolute god send as it means I don’t need to fully get out of bed every time she needs a feed which in the early days was sometimes every hour. I can just reach over and lift her out. It’s also super lightweight to move downstairs for through the day. 😀 x

Try Bannor Toys for wooden tethers and toys. Super quality and gorgeous, plus hygienic. Also they’re a small company and family owned.

if you unscrew the red bits on the kick and play you can tilt it upwards so she can sit at it and play it like a piano!!! my baby girl is 8months, crawling and still loves it!! x

Completely agree about the sensor mat, mine kept going off for no reason causing panic, we slept so much better once we stopped using it

We found that when using a bog standard travel cot cutting a memory foam mattress topper to size made a good cheaper alternative and added extra comfort for our little one (if you have a topper spare)

You look so stunning. Motherhood suits you so well

My daughter loved the taggies ball omg

Fleur, could you do a comparison between the black and the grey Jemima bag? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and why you purchased the grey one.

Where is the red dress from, that you are wearing in the cut aways?

I wish you had put the clip of the items at the start of your discussion. I don't know most of these things by name so didn't have a clue what you were talking about until you showed me what it was. X

I think the doona would work well if you had a school run to do or just quick trips to the shop?

Hi fleur, Im a new mom and i also had to give formula for my baby bcz of my C-section. Can you please tell me which brand of formula you use for baby river? Thank you

Just got the kidco Peapod for my 10mo and it’s amazing. Use it as a travel bed, on the beach and in a hotel room.

Isn’t it funny how different everyone’s personal preferences are - which is a good thing! I have absolutely loved the sleepyhead- it’s the only thing my baby will sleep in unless we are co-sleeping. I think he likes having the sides to cuddle as he puts his arm and leg up onto the edges now he’s bigger. I also would not be without the sensor mat - I used it until my eldest was about 18 months old and using it for my second who is 8 months. Never had it go off as a false alarm (but you have to have it on a totally flat base - you might find it will go off if it’s in a Moses basket). Also we have the city mini gt and used it till my eldest was 3.5. Have to say I haven’t used it much with my second as he likes being in my Tula sling the most, but it is a great buggy. Really enjoyed this video 👍🏻 xx

so glad that you did this video, thank you! I'm having my first baby in October and watched your first big baby buys video to help me decide what to get, so this follow up is great! I was so unsure about the sleepyhead because I really feel like it depends on the baby you have, which you won't know until they arrive. For that reason, I bought the Purflo instead on sale for £40 and will see how I get on with that.

The cubed seat doesn’t seem to exist anymore! 😭 Does anyone know what the latest version is? Xxx

When it's time for the next car seat for river please consider extended rear facing. She should be fine for another year at least in her current seat though.

Hey. Really enjoyed this video. I’m on baby no 2 now but there’s always something new you can learn :). Could you tell me more about your bag? I was thinking about a Bugaboo one but it is quite heavy even before you start adding things in, what about yours? Thanks x
