New parents here . Double income first kid : the amount of criticism and just BS I’ve gotten because we did this was ridiculous. because we feel it’s financially savvy to wait until she actually sleeps in her own bed and room to buy furniture. This video is the validation I needed I’m doing the right thing ! Thank you !

Most honest room setup, much needed for those pressured parents!! I’ve got 5 kids, THIS IS ALL YOU NEED.

Hi! I cant believe I already watched your videos over 3 years ago when I was expecting my first! I am now 35 weeks pregnant with my second and stumbled on your video while searching for ideas to set up babys “nursery” in our smallish bedroom 😊 This time round i felt like i needed a baby changer/dresser and its taken up quite a bit of space in our bedroom 😟 but hey ho I’ll make it work. Your video has definitely inspired me and given me a good dose of reality check cos there is waay too much OTT content out there 😍 thank you. Already subscribed literally over 3 yrs ago go xx

First and foremost; your kittens were adorable! They made me laugh out loud. I’m excited to share this video with my daughter who is having her first baby. You truly don’t need as much as everyone says. I hope your children are all doing well. Thank you. 🙏

I was gifted a used doc a tot which I was planning on buying new but this one is practically new I washed the fabric like new. My last item is a mini crib my apartment is small so that is what I have room for hoping to find a good on that crib 😊

This was super helpful and straight to the point, thank you so much ma'am 😊

I have six children and I had less and less ‘baby stuff’ each time. I wore them in a carrier for the first year and they co-slept with me and I breast fed on demand and used cloth diapers. The baby stage just flew by especially when I was busy with other little ones as well.

So you boil that bag and that metal dot inside will reset. No charging needed. After the boil you click the metal dot again and it heats up again. I was at sams one day and got suckered into buying feet heat pads. They were the same concept just foot shaped.

Don’t be ashamed. I’m pregnant with my first and I’m planning on buying used items (swings, bouncers, high chair) through garage sales as long as they’re gently used/clean. There’s nothing wrong with finding cheaper options or reusing materials…especially in this economy😭 best of luck!

The nipple heating pads. The metal circle "pops" back and forth. That is what makes it hot. They can be cold as well. Mine (old heating pads like that) didn't plug in. You just boiled them back to gel. Hope this helps

You have to boil it to get it to go back to normal. Boiling it turns it back into a liquid. I put a wash cloth on the bottom of the pot I'm boiling it in to protect it. Let it cool completely. When you need it again, click the little metal disc in it and it will get hot again.
