    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 !

    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

    I'm 32 wks with my 4th baby. This time around I have focused on used NB items even 0-3 month clothing just because most times they grow out of it or they are washed and used once. 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 😊

    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.

Everyone told me I wouldn’t need much newborn diapers or clothes but she ended up being in both for over a month! She was actually swimming in newborn for the first week and a half and needed premie. Luckily I had those passed on from another friend

    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.

  • @emilybruce4360
    @emilybruce4360 Рік тому +3

    The heating pads need to be boiled to return to normal. When you break the metal disk it causes a reaction that makes it get hot.
