    For the breastfeeding list, I'd recommend adding a water bottle (as you'll need to drink A LOT of it) and a breastfeeding supplement to aid in production. Some may give your baby gas so don't buy a 6 m supply without testing it first.

    Sleepers and bodysuits are a life saver. I got loads of sleepers, bodysuits in different colours with the scratch mittens already sewn in! For the first few weeks and months it is so important they stay comfy, rather than uncomfortable with outfits that are really hard to change them in etc.

    1. Nursing cover 2. Nursing shirt 3. Warm/cold compress for mastitis 4. Lactation tea 5. Fenugreek 6. Smoothie gel pads 7. Thera Shells to keep sore nipples from rubbing against your bra or nursing pads 8. Milk collector such as Milkies to wear inside bra and collect leaking milk 9. Spare diaphragms, valves, tubings in case you find yourself having to exclusively pump and you lose your parts or if parts split or develop a hole, or wear out. 10. Breast pump cleaning wipes for when you are too exhausted to wash parts. A backpack you keep in the trunk filled with extra diapers, wipes, pacifier, bibs, blankets a change of clothes, empty bottles, manual pump, non-perishable snacks, hand sanitizer, water, and packets of formula, pen, note pad and list of emergency contacts in case of emergency.

    We’ve used regular trash bags in the diaper genie and it’s been great. You’ll need to buy one diaper genie liner, but once that runs out, remove the liner and tuck the regular 13 gallon trash bag around and under the liner holder and snap back into place. Has worked really well for us in the first 6 weeks! Plus, it holds way more diapers. You’ll just need to make sure you don’t overstuff it!

    Awesome video. I’m due in August with my first baby and I’ve watched probably tons of videos about all sorts of topics just trying to get the most knowledge I can. I appreciate this checklist video but also the pdf because it’s something I can keep and go off of to make sure I have the essentials on my registry since I’ll be making that soon. Wanted to also say I liked a video from awhile ago where you were comparing prices of car seats/strollers/bassinets etc. that was also very helpful. You keep it short and sweet and that’s what I need! Also planning to get my fiancé to watch these, he’d much prefer them to the moms who talk for 30 minutes. (No hate on them, I’ll watch but he gets bored) 😂 so definitely keep it up. I’ll be looking out for more videos as I progress further in my pregnancy!

We are about to have our first child after 5 years of IUI and IVF. You're videos really help keep my spirits up while we tried and helped me to feel very prepared as we have gone through our pregnancy. Thanks again. I will probably send you a video after January 9th after Baby Lawson arrives.

    Few things that I found very useful not mentioned here: - Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit very useful for transition from swaddle. For some people works for others don't bu its worth to give it a try - Snuggle me for naps is great although I wouldn't use it for night sleep and not in your bed. You can place it on the crib or bassinet and it helps for baby to sleep longer naps - The First Years 4-in-1 Remote Control Bottle Warmer this kind of save my life. I place it on my bedside table and when the baby starts waking up I press the button and wait for the milk to be warm. It works with breast milk. Remote doesn't work that great but as I keep it in my bedside table I don't mind that much. - Yoyo + is a must if you are a traveller. The car is super easy to manage and it works with the carseat numa lite which is the lightest in the market.

    I love your channel, I saw your smart nursery guide and did the same for my daughter with alexa and smart bulb. keep up the good work! Pro-tip for Dads: If you are exclusively breastfeeding, get a minifridge and bottle warmer and keep it by your bedside table for night time feeding, if mom pumps, and you want to give her a break at night and on the week ends. for the first few weeks they will sleep in the same room with you. I had an alexa next to the mini fridge as well, my daughter love music during changing and a smart bulb in a lamp, can also keep everything hands free when you wake in the middle of the night for changing.. Also I would go with a Bassinest!

    We just had our second, and I was surprised to realize that I actually prefer the onesies with snaps instead of zippers. Snaps are definitely harder, but I feel like she stays warmer because I don’t have to unzip the whole thing to change her diaper. Maybe because it’s so cold here right now, but the snaps are worth it to keep the rest of her a little warmer.

    For breastfeeding, definitely lanolin or coconut oil. It really helps prevent pain. A nipple shield for those who have trouble with a latch or SNS to avoid confusion with bottles in the first little while. For diapering, I’d add cornstarch. Really helps prevent diaper rashes.

    This list works if mom formula or breastfeeds from home. If mom’s going back to work there are a couple extra things a nursing/pumping mom might need: pump car converter, cold milk bag, pump travel bag, extra parts, breast milk cleaner soap, maybe freemies. Since this is more geared to dads, I wouldn’t worry about updating the list necessarily.

Not so much for the "pumping" feature but mainly to catch the let down milk instead of it making a mess on baby and clothes. Also, I'm having the hardest time with picking a travel system 😭 so many options out there.
