Ah the bag issues. We got our bag from a friend because well... We're poor! Yes the baby bags look cute and pretty and so does a cute bag for when you take into hospital, but they're way too expensive, for a bag. Yes ours is black, and boring, but it does what I've meant to do. It's the same with everything else, we bought a second hand cot for £25, second hand pram for £40. You absolutely do not need to spend lots of money especially when babies grow up too fast.

Ergobaby carrier for us was like the osprey backpack for you guys - we have 2, one for the each of us so we don’t re adjust because we both use it more than couple times every. day. during the newborn months. After the kiddo got more active we still use it at airports etc and we won’t have survived without. Holy grail!!!

Hate that stroller. Y? Cause its 400 to 600 for a stroller u can use for no more than a yr, if ur lucky. Most babies outgrow a carseat like this by 9 months. Sure the other strollers might be the same price, but once ur child outgrows the carseat u still have a stroller. If u want a stroller carseat, mightvas well get a graco or any other stroller carseat base, and u get a basket in the bottom. Plus it has a similar concept even if its 2 pieces and still only last upto a yr. Still its a fraction of the cost.

@AngiesTable

I’ve never used the nuna travel stroller, but Doona is better for newborns as it is a 3-1 car seat stroller. I believe the nuna stroller is better for when they can start sitting up more. But then, you’ll probably have to bring a separate car seat and base as well. They both have their pros and cons, and it’s a matter of what fits best for you and your family’s lifestyle!

A lot of this stuff is way to expensive…and beige😭The crib for example, is only a 3 in 1 you said? I’ve found one that’s a 6 in 1, where it eventually converts to a twin bed I believe and it’s a little less expensive than that one, although I have seen that beige crib many times, I just don’t see how the price justifies it. I am a first time mom so maybe I’m looking at prices to much but for my son, that’s not even here yet😂 we got a pack n play that has a bassinet, two smaller bottom parts after he outgrows the bassinet, and even a changing table attached to it. I also got it for free for attending a safe sleep class to prevent SIDS. So far most of the baby equipment we have is babytrend stuff😂 got a jogging stroller as a gift that was also babytrend😂 thrift store shopping has also been my go to for clothes and toys because they just grow to much and there’s no reason to spend fortunes on clothes for a few months. As well as using some things that I already had in my room for storage. I agree with the pee pads😂 I’ve been trying to find a diaper bag for a while but I’m not sure what will work the best for me yet. My parents used a normal crossbody backpack when I was little. I was thinking of using my bag called “loveook“ but just concerned it won’t be insulated enough for milk and stuff. your daughter is super adorable and I love her name💖

This is an advertisement. Don’t even attempt to get the things she mentions. For example the doona is not a necessity it’s way to expensive and doesn’t have a long life span. What is a necessity is a car seat with a bottom. Try the evenflo. You can attach the car seat and once they are too big for the kid car seat it has a toddler seat that attaches to the stroller. I hate these kind of videos. She is either looking for endorsements or she already has them.

It’s the bottom of the car seat, not on!

I thought about whether I should even write this comment or not. I don't want to offend anyone. After all, this is a sensitive topic. but there are so many first-time mothers in the comments who seem to rely heavily on the advice that I have to say what I know about certain topics because many of the products and information here are even dangerous. First of all there is this stroller, which isn't a real stroller. It is not healthy for the back if the child lies in a baby seat for too long. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable during a car journey and all you can do about it is to take enough breaks. However, if you use this unhealthy baby seat as a stroller outside of car journeys, the children will inevitably stay in this position for too long. This can lead to enormous posture problems. At this point I ask myself what is more important. Of course, a two-in-one product is very practical, but you inevitably have a negative point when you use the product. Either you have to take many more breaks than are necessary (and even then the position is still unnecessarily unhealthy) or you ignore this factor completely, which would cause even more harm to the child. Next up is this carrier that is actually designed for hiking. A three month old baby is too small to use this. Normally children that age, cannot sit yet (I cannot imagine that a three-month-old child can sit at this age, but I would not like to doubt this claim at this point, perhaps this child is one of the few here). However, it is not healthy for such a small baby to sit for long periods of time and unfortunately, just like the car seat, people tend to use these products for too long at a time. I don't want to assume that the family here belongs to this group of people. Maybe these things are on your radar. But then you have to name it, because many people won't have something like that on their radar. When you promote certain products, you also have a certain responsibility towards the people who see it. Then there is this seat that is supposed to serve as a toy. Too much, too loud. Too many stimuli for such a small child. And this product can again cause the child to sit for too long at a time. lastly there is this “snuggle me”. very practical if you have to put the child down somewhere. But you still have to keep an eye on the child because these products can lead to so-called sudden infant death syndrome. Because the products are not breathable and this results in a recoil of the breathing air that the baby expels. So thats it. I hope I wasn't being too harsh, but these are things that needed to be said.

Hello! Thanks for your input! Of course, everyone has different opinions, especially when it comes to their child. This is why I said this video was just from my experience! I did want to mention that a Doona is a real stroller! It has wheels and on their website, i states that it met the strictest US standards for car seats, strollers, and hand-held carriers! For the Osprey hiking bag, Ella was lifting her head from the moment she was born, sitting up with amazing neck strength at 3 months and took her first step at 9 months. Yes, she is very fast and unlike most kids when it comes to development and milestones. According to the website, as long as they’re able to lift their head up and sit upright without assistance, they’re good to go (~6 months). This back pack was mentioned for families who like to go back-packing or hiking a lot, and obviously, when your child is able to sit, we would obviously assume you’re not putting a newborn here. We usually went on 30-40 min walks with it. Maybe, mention it to your pediatrician to confirm if your child is ready for it! Ella didn’t sit in her activity chair for more than 5 to maximum 10mins at a time. So seeing that she doesn’t have a problem with sitting independently, I don’t think there really is a big issue here! She was able to work on her fine motor skills and understand textures a functions. Yes, I agree. When on the snuggle me, you should be keeping an eye on your child! For us, we didn’t really use it and was part of our regrets because we couldn’t use it without us being there.

I also hate the travel hatch. The sound is awful

I would choose incontinence pads as they are made from safer, medical grade material. Dog pee pads have certain chemicals within them that I’m not 100% on board with

How do you go about making sure she’s not been in the Doona for more than half an hour at a time? Medical guidelines state a baby should be in the car seat position for any more than half an hour, and no longer than 2 hours up to two years as they don’t have a lie down function and can cause growth and breathing difficulties 🫤 was considering getting one but this is a dealbreaker for me
