I'm now 22 and me and my man are expecting a baby boy in January 2020 (I'm 33+1 today!). We're super excited as we thought that I would never get pregnant and if I did that something would go wrong!

Update: I had my baby 23.01.2020. It was an easy birth, only 5 and a half hours active labour. Only thing is that I didn't go to the hospital as I didn't feel the difference between my usual flare up pain from the actual contractions. xD I came in at 7cm after my bf threw me in the car and forced me to the hospital. What would I do without him? xD

For muslin swaddled try the new target cloud island brand!! They are $13 for three and they are bigger and softer than the aiden and anais blankets. Just FYI for those looking for a cheaper option.

A little correction to something I said in this video. I accidentally said “One of my boys wanted to be swaddled until 9 months old...” I meant to say “9 WEEKS!” The AAP doesn’t recommend swaddling past 8 weeks old. Also, our Dockatot is never used with the baby unattended. For more safe sleep guidelines from the AAP please follow the link in the description box! Though we don’t follow the guidelines PERFECTLY we have followed up with our pediatrician and have discussed our children’s sleeping arrangements with him. We always urge our audience to seek the council of medical professional if they have any questions.

My son is 3 months and rolls over in his sleep and I swaddle him every night. During the night he frees his arms and only his bottom half is swaddled this helps him from throwing the blanket on his face and keeps him warm. Btw every in the home checks on him in the middle of the night since he does roll over. I try my best to turn him facing up every time I wake up.

I'm 18 weeks pregnant. Second time Momma. I found this video super helpful because after 2 years of not buying newborn stuff, I feel out of the loop on the new products out there. Thank you very much! Your baby girl is so beautiful! I've been watching your videos for years, its so wonderful to see your family growing.

I'm a first time mom trying to get a list going of things the baby will need & this video helped a lot! Thank you!

Absolutely LOVE that you talked about a regret and a must have that fell into the same category. So often I see someone say “I didn’t like this swing” or “i regret getting this swaddle” but don’t go on to say ones they found beneficial to have. So thank you!

I couldn't have enough receiving blankets! I agree, not good for swaddling but I used them as towels, burp cloths, changing pad...

I’m prego with baby number 5 and my hubby is one of those people that moves around in his sleep a lot so I liked the cosleeper with all my babies and the baby was right next to me the trick is to make sure baby is comfortable every baby is different but this video has been great for ideas thank you

I'm a first time dad so this is awsome my wife 7 weeks but knowing me I like to find every info so our baby can have a smooth ride here I really enjoy your videos 💯💪🏾

I'm going on 7 months and just now buying and acquiring things for the baby with a baby shower scheduled just a month before my due date! Hours of research and reviews plus these kinds of videos have helped me a ton!!!

Being a new father I have been watching quite a few of these videos. I think it’s funny that all of your regrettable purchases are all things my son loves and has no issues with. Aside from the swing. We have a different swing. I do thank you for your insight though and appreciated your opinions. Thank you.

So turns out, I used to watch your twin pregnancy videos on your other channel years ago. This video popped up and I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out why you seemed so familiar. I got so excited once I figured it out and that you still make videos! 💕

you sound so happy when you talk about your kids :D it really makes me wanna become a mommy myself :)

This has to be the most honest and practical must have video I've seen, and I've spent countless hours watching videos because as let's face it... It is all about brands and buying high dollar baby crap that most of us can't afford. Thanks for being real 🤗

I’m 37 weeks 4 days and nesting has kicked in HARD. I’m watching this in the background as I’m double checking the nursery and all of the baby purchases. This video has been so helpful thank you.

Graco swings are the best..in my opinion. I'm the Grandma..old school swings were crank.. these are just wonderful.. the plug in option is the best. Agreed with the Graco swing!

Dear Natalie, This is the first time I saw your video and I love the way you explain the products and it's utility. Thanks. Lots of Love!!

I'm a feminist, and sadly I hear a lot of other feminists who are professionals in some field or another give grief to stay-at-home moms. But the thing is, some people were born for the caretaking/teaching role. Some people were just meant for this and are so so so so good at it. We - society as a whole - NEED these people. Not only do the little humans you encounter in your lifetime benefit from your care, but so many others do, too, because you share these things with them. As a feminist, I do not denounce this. I praise you. You are raising healthy, happy human beings who will one day contribute to society. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for sharing!

And just to clarify, dear two scoopz, I do research in child development - mostly cognition/brain development, but also overall health and psychology - and I have a passion for my job. I have met many other women in the work place who have no concern for any type of maternity leave following the birth of their children. They have no interest in staying home to be with them. Additionally, they look down on women who do so - or women who choose not to work outside the home at all. This is damaging. That's what I was getting at. You sound like you need to go get laid.

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and this is my first child and thankful for these videos

The Velcro swaddles worked great for my little one (there are zipper transitional arms free ones as well that worked after he was about 6-10 weeks old). Also we loved the adenandanais burpy bibs( They are 360 cover every angle for my newborn with reflux). I also got a 2 in 1 swing but he also loved the Fisherprice rock n play (the vibrations are key to happiness for him).

You're so beautiful and have the sweetest and most genuine and positive vibe

Our lil man is 4 months. I’m still taking tips! Thanks for everything! Love your channel & energy!

I've been looking for someone who is calm and relaxed while talking in their videos to calm me down before bed, and you are so wonderfully perfect!!! Please keep these videos up! I've got about seven more months left but can't wait for baby :)

I think that's a bit fastidious. I mean sure if you are literally only going to be either holding your baby or having then in their bassinet (another must have, somewhere to sleep) but most parents want to be able to put their baby someone safe, comforting and stimulating for them while they get a chance to eat, nap, shower etc. Also how are feeding your baby? You need bottles, a way to sterilize them even if you breast feed you likely need some equipment to assist with that. How do you bath your baby? No baby bath? No even anything in the sink to help you support them? What do they sleep in? Just a onesie?? No swaddle? No sleep bag?

I'm due this December and so glad you talked about the blooming bath! I've been wanting it vs the hard baby tubs and I agree that as long as you take care of it the right way, there's not a big issue with it at all. Now I'm definitely sold on having it on my registry ❣️ I've been watching your videos all week because I love listening to your voice and a lot of the things you say/mention go along the lines of the type of parent and person I want to be

I so agree on the prefold cloth diapers. We bought prefolds thinking we'd use them as nappies, but ended up using them for everything else instead, and had to buy twice as many in order to not "run out" between washes. We use them for burping, under babys head when sleeping and breastfeeding (in case of spilling), when changing nappies etc. They are soft, they hold a lot of moisture so don't leak through and can handle "accidents" on the changing table very well! I have no idea how other parents survive without prefolds. I have gotten around to using them as nappies also! Love, love, love prefolds.

The Aden ones are the best BUT if you worry about SIDS and You are a mom who wakes up every so often to check if the blanket is on their face you will be better off with the Velcro ones I personally used the Velcro ones with both my daughters they truly gave me a peace of mind especially at night when we both were sleeping I would use the Aden blankets more in the day time when I was awake and she was in my sight

I agree with EVERYTHING you said. 1 kid loved the mama roo, the 2nd hated it 😭 New subscriber here

Seriously so glad I clicked! I'm 9 weeks pregnant and was just thinking I just want to buy what I really need and don't want to regret silly products! Baby #2 makes you smarter!

The one I did splurge on was the halo bassinett since it was recommended to me since I'm having a c section. We'll see how it goes. Love the idea about the cloth diapers and have added those to my list. Never would have thought of it so thank you!

This is the first video I ever watched on your channel about a year ago while trying for our first baby. 1 year on and I am pregnant!! These types of videos are very helpful! 😊

Natalie, I stumbled upon your channel by complete accident when you posted a comparison of your two pregnancies. Immediately I adored...then as I have seen a few more I realized we have more in common. Christian and YL oils! Congrats on your sweet baby girl. I know a little late, but better late than never. Unfortunately I am not a mom, but love, love, love babies! So catching glimpses of babies just make me so happy. They are such a blessing and miracle.

Awesome list, I'm with you on things that will grow with baby, you sold you me on the blooming bath, def buying one soon. 🙂 I love my "Brest friend" nursing pillow, great for nursing, bottle feeding, nap time after feeding when you just want to cuddle and watch baby. My son just loves that pillow!

I have 5 kids and couldn't agree more on most the things you said. The only reason not all is I haven't used some of them. That bloomer baby bath I will be getting. I still have a new baby and she'd love it!! I haven't used my waste of space baby bath in a few kiddos. And the ones that did use it hardly did. Total waste of money and space!! The muslin swaddlers are my absolute favorite!!

OMG I'm so glad I've watched this video! I'm just on the beginning of buying stuff for my son. I'm 6 months pregnant.

Natalie.. you are just such a bright light. I hope your feeling better.

The wubanub is great when babies get a little older and they can find their paci easily at night in their crib vs waking up screaming because they lost their paci. Also they're easy to find around the house and diaper bag 😊

Amen on the sleepers! That's literally all my baby wore the first couple months; I had a few fancy things but there was never an occasion for them.

I would recommend buying them secondhand because babies do grow out of them fast.

I'm so glad that I watched this. I have a 12 year young daughter and I am 28 weeks pregnant with my son and had forgotten the process and must haves. I was debating on tubs for baby Alfonso and now I am confident in putting the blooming bath on my registry. Thank you and God bless.

I'm 6 months and only just started to shop (was soooo superstitious about shopping before)! This was so helpful cause I feel like so many things recommended our on standard lists I'm like "Do I need this though?" "That takes up so much space" or "She won't need this till like 7 months why get it now?" This definitely confirmed a lot of my feelings about things and that I can wait on so it doesn't take space.

Aiden & Anais are THE best muslin swaddles!! And I love how they dry super fast when you hang them out--I'm always going through so many every day with my 6 week old. 😅

I'm a 20-year-old girl who doesn't even have a boyfriend but have been watching all of your weekly vlogs, pregnancy updates and mommy videos. And I actually enjoy them a lot! You are such a beautiful woman of God Nat! Someone I look up to in so many ways! Love you and your sweet family! ❤💙💚💛💜 I would be so happy if you see my comment and reply 😚

I have a mamaroo and I completely regret buying it. My baby wants to be held 24/7 and didn't like it. I might keep it and try it with my next kid. If not i can sell it.

First video I've watched of yours! I am 32 weeks. I've spent a LOT of time as a nanny/mothers helper so I knew there was loads of stuff I would never ever use -- as I am getting closer I am ticking off items of my list, and I really enjoyed your list and was SO SO happy to see many of the items I DID register for on your list of Loves!!! :) Happt to have found ya.

I loved my velcro swaddle because my baby squirmed too much to stay in a traditional swaddle well. We tried several lol. I did have Pre-folds from cloth diapering (bumgenius was what we ended up using when mine was older). They also are great for cleaning rags after outgrown for baby use!!! I am so wanting a dock a tot for my next kid (if i ever have one)! Is the bloom bath easy to clean if the baby poops? My baby loved his wubanub... he could hold it at a few months old, and he held on to it for a long time. Great video thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much!!! This is very helpful info! I'm pregnant with my first child and want to make sure we have everything prepared for baby when he/she arrives!

I lived by that co-sleeper!!! I had a c-section with my daughter and it was hard to get in and out of bed and i was able to not get up all night and worked for me! I tried to keep away from pain medicine so it was kind of great for me!

Thanks so much for making this video! !! I'm putting together a list of things I need for my first baby and this helps so much. The simpler the better for me!

Sooooo cute how baby was crying and then BAM swaddled and calm!! ❤️❤️❤️

Started watching you before we were even thinking about trying and now I’m back because I’m 15 weeks! ❤️

I absolutely love my daughter’s Muslin swaddlers! She’s too big to swaddle, but they can be used for so much. Right now, I like to use them when we’re out and about as a drape to put over her stroller when she’s sleeping or if it’s raining. And when she’s older, they’ll be great summer blankets for her bed. I definitely swear by these.

I actually think the sleepers are complicated to take on and off, especially for diaper changes. I prefer the short sleeve onesies. Sleepers are also too hot for a TX baby, even with the A/C on! I liked the swaddle clothes but wasn't super crazy about them. The flannel Cloud Island blankets are the best for swaddling, muslin blankets are too cumbersome, thin and flimsy, and he's too small for them right now. Also agree that cloth diapers are the best for burp cloths, mats, etc!! We don't use a rocking swing for the baby, at least so far at almost 3 months old. He's pretty self-sufficient and doesn't need a lot of rocking. We just have a bassinet with mesh all around the sides plus a Day Dreamer chair (not a fan of the Doc-a-Tot)...and a crib of course! Plastic tub is kind of a pain to store, but he likes it ok :) Good tips overall!

I'm a grandmother and find today's must have items quite interesting. I've seen a couple of vloggers using the Velcro swaddleds and they seem to work for them. However I so wish there had been giant muslin cloths when. Mine were babies. I didn't co sleep it I'm sure if I'd had a dockatot it would have been brilliant. One mom actually puts her one year old I. His cot in it so yes. Brilliant. It's amazing seeing generational differences

Natalie Bennett My must haves were Muslin squares that were used as burp clothes and every morning when I remade the Moses basket ( another must have) downstairs and the rocking cradle upstairs I put a fresh cloth folded across the top of the matress over the sheet in the theory that only that needed washing . Washable breast pads I used Cloth diapers and for those first few days I used the pre folded ones you used as burp cloths my American aunt sent them to me and wow they were great, later on I used them to make overnight diapers when they started sleeping through. Almond oil for nipples Oh I had a lovely fisher price mobile that played Brahms lullaby that was used from birth but only at nighttime bed time to get used to bed time All four of mine including son wore long soft brush cotton nightdresses for the first four weeks and unless going out they wore Day and night so much easier than snaps in babygros Think that's probably it so not to different today just tweaked from the olden days back in the 80's Oh I had a baby bouncer that I doubled as an improvised uninvented play gym , I hung different items on it like ribbons and bells so that they could touch as they moved their arms

Tracy Cook I agree with you as far as the differences between the different generations and their must haves. One of my must haves I don't hear about as much as I did when I was having babies is a gown for the baby to sleep in. I had many more gowns for my newborns than sleepers. They were so easy and easy access for changing the baby in the wee hours of the night. One thing that hasn't changed is the double folded cloth diapers that I used for burp cloths etc.🌺

Generational differences are definitely interesting, even more so between 3 generations! I talked to my grandmother about it (she had children in the late 50s, early 60s) and she said “It’s crazy how many unnecessary items there are for babies these days... like carseats. We just stuck them in a bassinet and threw them in the back. We didn’t even have seatbelts”. 😂

We love the arms up zipper swaddle! They snuggle her perfectly and don’t come off! We also love buying stretchy knit fabric from hobby lobby! They don’t need finish edges so they are easy and cheap! They are dupes for the Caden lane blankets!

So grateful for your video! It just helped me to set my baby's must haves list. You are gorgeous and soft speaking 💕💕

she didnot say you will regret..She talk about herself what she regret..Some items works for others but some didnot..Different people have different experiment and views...🙂🙂

Your white piano in the background is so pretty!

Is that wht that is? I was trying to figure it out😅

This has been one of the most helpful videos I have watched. Im due at the end of April with my first and I'm having a little boy, but have had no idea what I'll actually use for him. Thank you so much for this video! Subscribed 😊

One thing that I loved having for my baby boy during his first month were sleeping gowns. I used these instead of sleepers because you don’t even worry about snaps or zippers or getting their legs in and out while changing them.

I have found new velcro swaddlers at Once Upon a Child for less than $5! I recommend looking for used items like this because it saves a lot of money.

Kirky I got 3 for $1 each and a halo sack with the swaddle Velcro for a $1 too. This is definitely the best place to look for the expensive stuff that you know you will use especially since once upon a child has sales all the time.

Good tip on the sleepers, except I would opt for the zip up ones! So much easierrr

Haley is so adorable in everything, know this video is way old but don’t care just loved your recommendations and basically everything on your channel. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my goodness your baby is sooooo cute. 😊 and she’s soooo calm, it amazes me.
