LIFE OF MADDY agree with every single thing you said. But I also regret having a bassinet. We didn’t use it at all! My son actually slept in one of those Rock n Plays until he was ready for a crib. They are the BEST things ever!

I disagree on the changing table. I think it depends on where your baby sleeps. My kids all sleep in their cribs from the beginning-so I used my changing table a bunch.

I skipped the spific changing table, but use the dresser with the hatch changing pad that's a scale too. I like that combo. Plus the dresser will always get used.

Just a tip for other moms that might see this.... if you have leftover diapers that are unopened you can exchange them for another size.... at basically any store that carries them depending on the stores return policy... if you have someone to pass them along to thats a great option too, especially if its an open pack or case.... but if they're sealed.... exchange them for a size that you need!!!

Our changing table has been life for both our kids. Every diaper change we do at home is on our changing table!

If the diaper box isn’t open you could of taken it to Walmart or target and exchanged it for the right size that you need! So it’s not completely useless to do a diaper raffle at your baby shower. It’s saving you $$$$

Amazon baby registry has a "diaper fund" option. I think that's a great idea. They just pay for a pack or whatever and then you order what size you need and what kind you want.

Me too. Baby slept in our room for 3 months, every night i brought him to his nursery, changed, and fed him.

Thank you so much!!! Being pregnant and still living in a one bedroom until baby is around 3 months was getting me a little insecure but I now realize how much he will be in our bedroom & by the time we move out, he will have his own room then. He will probably still be in his bassinet next to my side of the bed when we move also because he will only be around 3 months old

I couldn’t agree more! This list is so accurate! Great advise Maddy 💕

Best video ever!!! 🙌🏼🤰🏻 Thank you so much for sharing all the info for upcoming Mommies ❤️

I’m 22 weeks pregnant and I’ve heard from so many people that there is no need for a changing table! I think they’re really an outdated nursery item.. especially when they grow out of them so fast! I also wasn’t sure about a wipe warmer so thank you for the advice 😊

My little one loved your voice and wouldn’t stop kicking my belly from the moment your starting talking. So cute 😂 when the video ended and he couldn’t hear you anymore he immediately stopped ❤️

Who said you have to change diapers on the floor I change them on the bed on the couch and wherever the heck is convinient for where I'm at

Oh, I couldn’t live without a changing table. I always walk to the changing table. My son is 15 months now and I still use his changing table every single time. To me it’s easier to have all his changing needs in a drawer, and it eliminates clutter in other rooms. Plus, it helps with back pain to be able to stand at a natural height without bending over.

Awesome video I would definitely recommend this video to my friend's who are going to be first time in mommy's these are such great tips and tricks definitely couldn't agree more with you. Miss Madison Miller😉

Uuuu yay! Babies are sleeping so great time to grab a snack at watch you!!!🤗🤗❤️❤️

I agree about the changing table when they're newborn sleeping in your room, you don't use the changing table. But when they get in their own room a changing table is awesome! It's better than having to get up and down off the floor to change them, or like when they get out of the bath you can just take him to the changing table and get them all lotioned up and dressed

I agree on the changing table. How often are you near the child's room to use it? Using a changing pad while downstairs in your home or out and about is the best plan and so much cheaper.

I love these videos. You’re soo sweet!!

This is sooooo helpful! I'm 10 weeks pregnant and have an idea board on Buy Buy Baby with like 8,000 things in it. Thanks for the tips!

pregnant mama here💕 thanks for the congratulations and for this video. i’ve been building my registry and thinking about things i wanna buy but still be conscious of price & what i’m actually going to use so this was great!

this was so helpful! my fiance and I are expecting our first baby in August and this gave us some ideas on what not to waste/spend our money on!😊

A changing table is absolutely necessary! Used mine with both of my babies from day 1 until the end. And a diaper raffle at a baby shower is a savior! I didnt buy diapers for at least 5 months with both babies thanks to babyshower raffle. You just open 1 pack at a time and places such as target and walmart will let you exchange or even return diapers.

I just had a dresser and bought the peanut changing pad and put it in top. Works perfect and once we are done with it then it will be his dresser. And I agree 100% with the bottles.

Thanks for the advice!!

So interesting how different things work for different babies!

Yesss new video 😍😍😍😍

I completely agree 100% with every single thing you said. I became a new mom last sept 👶🏻❤️. Your tips are very practical. 👍🏻

It blows my mind how many moms don't find a changing table necessary! Obviously everyone's different and a lot of moms get by without one. But I can count the times I've changed my daughters diaper NOT on the changing table (in the house) on one hand. I ALWAYS use it.

Same! My son is 1 and I still use it!

Ha ha! The diapers is so true! You definitely need a variety of sizes and not just one!

I have been binge watching these videos like a crazy woman. I’m 37 weeks and just losing my mind waiting for my baby boy to come out

It’s crazy how different our experiences are lol I’m SO glad I did a diaper raffle. I just exchanged the diapers for the size I needed. I didn’t have to buy diapers for the first year!! But I 100% agree about the wipe warmer. It’s also been known to grow bacteria bc of the warmth. And it shocks them when you’re changing them away from home and don’t have warm wipes. More cons to the warmer for sure! I agree about the changing table as well. Never used ours after 2wks old. Waste of money in my opinion.

The changing table is a must have when babies are older!! Helps with those alligator rolls mid diaper change!!

I definitely used my changing table for the first probably 3 months. I toyed with buying one, and I’m really grateful I did because I ended up having a crash c section and standing straight up was the only comfortable position for diaper changes for me.

Totally have to agree with the complicated clothes thing!!!! They’re so many cute onesies and rompers now a days that you don’t have to worry about 20 layers of clothes to take off every time you gotta change lol.

My baby will be sleeping in my bedroom in bassinet for the first 4-5 month so I got little corner changing table that doesn’t take much space but it’s nice to have it plus all side shelves and baskets work as good organization piece. For downstairs I bough non slip changing pad with handle and high edges that can be used for first 1.5-2 years. That I can use on the couch or floor.

Most pack & plays have a changing basket on them now! We didn’t bother getting a changing table since we got two pack and plays with the changing basket! Love those plus some of them have hanging baskets on the side to store diapers and wipes and everything !

Also with the diapers, stores don’t let you return them but they do let you exchange them for another size ! I exchanged all the leftover newborn sizes for size 1’s!

Mom of three here, I completely agree on the changing table! It’s easier and truly safer to simply change the baby on the floor with a just a pad under their bums! Wipe warmers are totally a waste of money, yes! I agree on the bottles too!! Buy big and just size down the flow till you need the faster ones! Diapers too! Do a book raffle instead!! Books are ALWAYS a great way to stock up a home!!

I'm due in August, so this is crazy helpful! :)

Newborn products you love or you wish you had bought love your videos :)

Mine hated the halo sleepsacks but loved the swaddle up ones where she could have her arms up but they were still covered. We definitely had a bunch of things we didn’t use but luckily could return a lot or exchange to buy buy baby!

Our pack n play combo had a changing pad attachment and I used it ALWAYS until my son was about 4 or5 months. He quickly outgrew it. Now I just lay him on a towel on the carpet and change him. 🌝🤰🏽I’m preggs with my 2nd now and I think I may get an actual changing table for this one.

Totally agree for all of it!

I was told a changing table would be a waste of money but I decided to get one anyway & I love it. My baby is 4 months old and has slept in her crib since she was 2 1/2 months. I change her there every time! 😁 although when she was sleeping in our room we didn’t go to the nursery to use the table.

I love having a changing table! My little one is 6 weeks old and we use it every night and morning because we feed her in her nursery. It’s also great for storage! I also disagree with the diapers. You can exchange for different sizes but you’ll want a good supply so you don’t have to worry about running out those first couple months with a newborn. I definitely agree with the complicated clothes! I totally thought I’d be dressing her in super cute clothes everyday but I prefer just putting her in onesies every day.

The color of your sweater 😍😍

Omg hey. I love these videos

I used our changing table 99.9% of the time 🤷‍♀️ doing it on the floor or bed hurts your back being hunched over

Hello Maddy! I’m pregnant now with my first.. I agree changing table and wipe warmer is a waste. My baby playyard has a changing attachment. I opted out of the dresser with the changing pad on top.

Agreed. I'm pregnant with my fourth and never bought one for any of them. I made diaper bins (fr the dollar store) I store all of the diaper necessitates in them. We have one in the living room and one upstairs. Either change them on the floor, couch or bed.

I stocked up on diapers and wipes with my first born and did the same with this baby I'm due with in April. I would just recommend to keep them closed and exchange the unopened ones as baby grows out. I didn't buy any diapers for the first year with my first and I expect to not have to buy any diapers for the next 1.5 years with this baby. I got a bunch of freebies in newborn size but different brands to know that baby will be okay and not have an allergic reaction to anything so I'll exchange those boxes if that happens.

yaaaaaaay a new video

I’m so glad I did a diaper raffle, my daughter is almost 7 mo and we still have a few cases. The cases are to small but I take them to the store and exchange them for what size she need at the time. Most stores do an in store credit and as long as they have those diapers they will do it. No need to have a receipt and no need to match the store they came from.

I’m 32 weeks! Thanks for your sweet message to pregnant mamas! Xoxo

Everyone is different but have 3 kids, used changing tables a few times on first baby, never used wipe warmer, used receiving blankets for swaddle, I bought individual bottles until I saw what they liked, u can use them small bottles for juice and water since you have them ❤the millers such a cute family

leelee w agree with your entire comment!!! Exactly the same for me. The warmers have more cons than pros, changing tables aren’t worth the money, and I used receiving blankets as well. Also used the smaller bottles for water and juice. We must have older children hahaha

I’ve used his changing table since day 1. And the wipe warmer is the only way I got my newborn to not scream during diaper changes. Ours never dries out the wipes. Agreed about the swaddles! My son hated it! He loves having his arms free!

Super relate!!! I regret so many purchases. So many unused clutter right now lol

You can always exchange the sizes at any store. Always ask for other size 2 and 3 too

You can exchange diaper sizes!!

Very good list. I knew from the beginning that I was only going to buy one type of bottle. Luckily he hasn’t had any trouble with them. Also, the wipe warmer is something I never wanted to deal with too. I found out real quick some of the complicated baby clothes were not going to get used near as much as a simple zipper sleeper (my favorite are the cloud island brand from target).

I think a changing table can be useful. We were using one up until my nephew was two.

As a soon-to-be mom and a mom of a 25 and 21 year old, I can say to each their own. Aside from changing tables, some of these products were never even around 25 years ago. I never used many of them, especially a diaper pail or wipe warmer, and made it just fine. But again, to each their own...

I am doing a diaper raffle, but I included on the invitations a specific diaper size to bring if they’re going to participate. It takes some organization and thought, but that way there will be some variance with the sizes!

I have 2 kids and currently 18 weeks with my third. I totally agree with not needing a changing table. I had one with my oldest and never used it, and It collected a lot of stuff. I don’t recommend diaper genies either. They just stink and the bags are just another thing to buy often. My last baby was 5 years ago so I’m starting over but I’m not going to worry about it because now I know what I need to buy and what not to waste my time or money on.

Use your regular swaddles as burp rags or just little blankets when you're holding them

Thank you for sharing! 😊 but for mommies who do need a wipe warmer (my daughter hated cold wipes) when you open the warmer flip the wipes upside down for moist warm wipes. Add water if need be. Also for the left over diapers, I returned them. I scanned the diapers with the bar code scanner and was able to see what store they were bought at. You don't need the receipt if it's a big chain store like target or Walmart. They just give you store credit and I exchanged them for the size I needed 😊

I used my son's changing table a lot especially at night or after a bath. But I did use other surfaces in the house like the couch and floor if he was just wet. With baby #2 I won't be doing a changing table, mostly because of space but will mostly likely just use my bed or his bed to change him. Trying to simplify what our needs and wants are.

Love you Madison! Big hugs to Ryleigh

Changing table is necessary. It is in my own bedroom. It has drawers, they are very useful. I wouldn’t bend on the floor to change etc.

I’m not pregnant nor am I expecting, but my sister is. This video has given me A LOT of information that I will be passing on.

Hahahaha I wanted to comment on some of your pregnancy videos about buying so much stuff. BUT first time Mum lesson right there! Every baby likes something different. But I do disagree with the changing table.. each to their own but both my babies slept in their rooms from a very early age & so we use ours A LOT. I also found it better for my back. Also Mum's who have had c-sections a changing table is at a better height & much more comfortable to use

We definatly saved on opting out on the changing table.

I m currently pregnant. I love your videos. Can you do a video about baby shampoo and lotion and that type of stuff like which one is the best

I used the swaddles for months, and used receiving blankets for that purpose after. My son wouldn’t sleep without being swaddled. I think everything is different with each baby 😮 Never know what you’re going to need!

Your sweater is so so so cute and the best color! Where is it from? Your boutique?

Amen to this video

We use are changing table daily!

I think each mom and baby are different. A mom needs to try things out to see what they like so I'd say telling someone not to buy something is tricky. If I had not bought a swaddle because someone said not to because it didnt work out for them I would have missed out on what ended up being my LIFESAVER! I loved hand me downs from friends and shopping and an awesome consignment shop we have here at town. This helps save money when trying out new things.

I feel you on the swaddles, my daughter is so fricken long she doesnt fit in them! I bought a 3 pack and the rest were donated or a gift. She LOVES muslin swaddles and stretchy swaddles. Thats IT.

I love my change table especially since I had a c-section almost 2 months ago. Then I wasn't bending down to change her

Hi Maddy, I tried to use the link you provided for the play gym for 10% off. It didn’t work. Would you be able to have a different one? Thanks for all the tips which go buy and not to buy! ❤️

Target and Amazon gives bottles when you register there. I believe Dr. Brown and Avent.

Diaper raffles are awesome!! You can ask for certain sizes. My sis in law asked for anything bigger then size 2 You can exchange diapers at Walmart or Target as long as they sell that brand there.

Hey Maddy, not sure if I missed it but never saw update on halo bassinet newborn insert. Is it worth it? They’re kinda pricey so should I keep on my registry or don’t really need it?? Thanks

I agree with the swaddles!! My baby hated it since the night she was born! And I had a bunch of the halo newborn swaddles I wish I would have bought the regular sleep sack instead

Amazing i agree with you 😘

I find a change table extremely necessary because although my kids sleep in my room until 6 months I use the change table as part of a routine. For example I use the change table to dress my kids
