If there are any new baby must haves, leave the here and I’ll share with Lo and Bee 🫶🏻 also added a few of our other favourites + these products for you here: amzn.to/45yCb7W
I bought the Consevisen Electric Baby Nail Trimmer/File for a new mom-to-be and she LOVED it. She found it incredibly convenient and easy to use. Her daughter is now at the age where the nails are a bit harder to manage because she's a little squirmer. However, she's able to still use this while her daughter is AWAKE! It actually makes her giggle because of the vibration. This plus the baby-safe nail polish I gave her has led to bonding time with mom and baby mani/pedis! 💞
I’m due in December with my 3rd but my youngest is 5.5 so I’m having to buy everything again. I’m in the uk so I dunno if there’s a difference in products. One thing that I look forward to using again, is a cover for the shopping trolley seat. I had one with my youngest and it was so handy, I didn’t have to worry about him chewing on the handle, it had a buckle which was handy as some shops here have trolleys without a seatbelt strap. It had a Velcro pocket at the back which I would put his snacks in 😂 it had a plastic hoop for attaching toys to. I got so many compliments about it.
On the change pad, I used puppy pads instead of a cover! They’re absorbent so pee won’t just pool underneath the fabric, easy to clean up, affordable, if I doesn’t get wet then I can just reuse it, and protects from the coldness. Very useful for new born twins 😂
We have been using potty pads literally just on our bed but we also have the Skiphop pad. My husband lays down a scrap burp rag on the diaper pad but swapping that for the potty pad is smart
I feel like this needs to be a thing you ladies do on the regular! Like once a month or something! This was such a fun video and I don't even have kids!
My "baby" is 25 and man, I wish I had all these cool gadgets back then! Also, I wish I had such a close knit family like you have. It's wonderful to see. 💖
Am I a Mom? Nope. Did I thoroughly enjoy this video? Absolutely! You should definitely do more videos with Lo & Bee, it was wildly entertaining. I also greatly enjoy when Dibs makes a cameo too. I don’t remember many with Rachel’s sister but I might have to go looking cause if they are anything like these that would be worth a look.
My "who told these babies they were allowed to grow up" moment happened to me this weekend. My niece just moved into her *college dorm* and I am having **feelings** about it.
😱My baby cousin just started HIGH SCHOOL this year! I was still in high school when he was born, and that was *checks notes* uhh *destroys notes* IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY!! 😂
I am not pregnant nor do I plan on having any children, however, I really enjoyed this video! First off, it's just good to know of these things in case I need baby shower gift ideas, and second, I LOVE seeing all 3 of you together! Your dynamic and humor are so fun to watch. I know it's probably not easy to get all of you in one video, but I would love to see more. Also, I admire your relationship with your family and how close you all are. It is so awesome to see how well your and Chris' families get along. It's as if you are biological family.
I HIGHLY recommend the luna pillow. Everyone who would come over loved it and it’s even plus size friendly. Not even for nursing just for helping ur arm when holding the baby (and stabilizing children and visitors holding the baby)
Three kiddos here! 1. I mostly use the nursing pillow for tummy time. 2. I too have a wipeable changing pad now as a replacement for the original and it is so much better. 3. I have that same exersaucer thingy and love it. They are controversial but mine all hit normal mobility milestones and it’s a great way to keep them safe and entertained for a bit. 4. Never used a bottle warmer as they are so slow. We do a quick brew of hot water from the keurig into a bowl and dunk the milk in that. 5. Used many different bibs. None have been perfect thus far. 6. I also hate the suction bowls as they never stay. I too just take my chances with regular ones, or better yet plop food right onto the tray then wash it. 7. I have the Ubi diaper pale and haven’t used it in ages as it once got gross and no matter how much I clean it it just immediately goes right back to gross. 8. Considering getting the elephant sprayer. I think my kiddos would love it.
I just had to pop on and say that they sell those stroller caddies for umbrella strollers too! THAT was a game changer for us, as grandparents, since that's what we use the most. Loved this episode, I'm totally getting the shower thing for my grandson! You guys were awesome ❤️
Love the white noise machine shout-out! My dad actually works for Yogasleep (formerly Marpac) that creates the Dohm that you featured first in the video. Yes, you pronounced it correctly the first time (say it like dome). I can't sleep without mine either and it is totally true that once you start to use it, it has to go everywhere so invest in that travel size baby!
Def not a mom but hoping to be in the next 5ish years. I looooove that newborn toy and added it to my list. This video format was so fun to see all the different perspectives ❤️
My toddler went from loving bath to hating it because she didn’t want her hair washed. We got the elephant shower (21:39) after the first recommendation and now she helps wash her hair and fights so much less! I’ve found getting her to tilt her head back helps with washing all of her hair just like we would in a full shower.
I just had my second and someone gifted me the Philips bottle warmer and my husband loves it! My mom liked it so much she bought one for her house too to use when she's babysitting. It's a luxury item for sure, but it's super nice for babysitters!
This was one of THE most helpful videos SO MUCHHHHH!!!! Thank you guys oh my lawwwddd !!! I’m due in December with my first baby girl and I have so many questions with products like these. Also extremely validated that I’m not crazy because I was very overwhelmed by creating a registry! Love you guys!! ❤❤❤
I love the hatch, turning it on or off by app is one of the best features. They also now sell a travel version that’s rechargeable. The boppy is also great for tummy time or sitting/lounger. The my breast pillow is better for breastfeeding. For heating up bottles just put the bottle in a cup with hot water from the tap, takes a couple of minutes. I have the same change pad as Rachael and I never use covers, I use the pad on its own and it cleans just fine. The obbi diaper can, you use regular garbage bags and it contains the smell pretty good.
As a plus sized momma that had to use nipple shields, a nursing pillow was a must. Both my kids preferred the football hold, so I didn't have the dexterity to support their head, hold my breast back so they could breath around the shield, and support their weight. I had a lot of struggles with nursing both my kids, but the boppy was something I could always rely on for at least making positioning easy. I don't have experience with other brands, but I would highly recommend getting a nursing pillow if you are a larger lady.
I have the Little Martin’s electric nail trimmer and it works well. There are different toppers depending on the baby’s age because the strength of the mail changes. After an error with the regular nail trimmer that we never wanted to experience again, the electric trimmer is great! You just have to be sure it’s moving in the correct direction and angle it properly.
Rachel saying you bring the white noise machine with you everywhere is so accurate. I went to a cottage this weekend and my partner and I didn’t have it! The worst. 😂
My daughter is almost two and I still use and love the Hatch sound machine, bibs and nursing pillow every day to give her, her night time bottle. It’s makes holding her in the rocking chair so much easier even though she is big. I was also a huge fan and still am of the Dr. Browns bottles and Frig pacifiers!
My son is 27 years old. But I have found the best zipper sleepers as a nanny. The sleeper has a zipper that can either go up to baby's chin or down to the toes. Baby stays warm, easy to check diapers, etc. Can't recommend enough!
I love the electric nail file specifically for babies. Their nails are so tiny and they're so squirmy that it's way too easy to accidentally clip their skin on accident with nail clippers. As they get older I used a regular nail file but it's for sure a game changer for babies!
Lol wait! Her rating scale is totally correct! There are things that could be added to that sound machine to make it a 10, but as it is now, it's definitely a 7!
I came across the boppy pillow when I was pregnant for my my daughter (last child of 3) and I fell so in love with it, not only did I use it for her daily…I bought myself one to sleep with! My daughter is now 10 and I STILL sleep with mine semi around my neck EVERY night! ❤
Personally the nursing pillow, my Breastfriend was gold. With a newborn, getting them nice and high to the boobs and fully supportive plus with it being able to buckle it and make it stuck, I could walk around (of course while having one arm/hand on baby Especially for Moms who want to be on their phone or reach to help with other kiddos.
Loved this! Wish this review was around when we were creating the registry. We have the regular baby changing pad but we throw a wee wee pad on it instead of changing the sheet all the time.
We LOVE hatch. It’s great because there are times I forget to turn it on but you can use an app! All Lo’s points are 100%. It’s amazing. I’m 100% with Lo on the white noise machine
I'm obsessed with the electric nail file. We have the one with different file heads so there's one for newborn nails and coarser ones for older kids nails. Our little boy loves watching his nails being trimmed and zero complaints or injuries. It kinda stops when you apply too much pressure or touch the file head. I recommend it to every new parent!
Those white noise machines are *chefs kiss*. We had those exact same white noise machines scattered ALL throughout my college campus. We had them in our testing centers/testing rooms for exams, and we especially had them in all of our counselor’s offices. They really are the best.
I have considered the bath elephant for a while, and now I might have to purchase it! But the NAIL FILE is one of my faves. Use the right grit head (mine has 3 different grits) and it takes two seconds to get a nail done with no stressing about hurting little ones. Also, my husband struggles with it, and I think if you file your nails then you can use this on a baby.
We have been using the Dohm sound machines for 16+ years. They are THE best!!! The sound is perfect! We have them in all four of our bedrooms plus one for travel and another for guests. We have also gifted several of them.
As a new baby mom, I LOVE the Hatch and the changing pad. My baby just turned one and he still sleeps in our room. I use both in there all the time. I registered for a 3 pack of covers and I just toss the dirty cover in with our sheets. I only ever used my (off-brand) boppy for tummy time with my son, cause he was bottle fed and for bottle warmers, I used the Dr. Brown's bottle warmer. I didn't care for the measuring cup that came with it, but it did get the bottle to the exact temp you needed it to be. I think the one y'all showed would be a million times better! Congratulations, Bee and Lo on your upcoming babies!! 💜
This was a great video! As a mom of 2 I rated along with you all! For us the second time around, did not use a changing pad (ended up changing the 2nd baby with the pad from our backpack and in whatever room we were in) or diaper pale (garbage can works so much better!), and didn't use a bottle warmer (never had the right temperature and they got so dirty!
As a first time new mom, we’ve definitely gotten quite a lot of things people swore by that we haven’t liked, but the two things we have used religiously since bringing our girl home is out Kindii bottle and storage system and our PopYum bottles. The Kindii system has just made the cycle of pumping/storing/feeding so much easier as everything is all compatible and convertible. We also have been loving the PopYum bottles, which I originally put on our registry cause I figured they’d be great for travel, but we have found we love them in general. It makes it so easy to prep the bottles while we are still sane enough to count and just have them at the ready for when we need to fill in a feed with formula instead. It’s really taken the pressure off me too cause it makes my husband feel a lot more prepared to be left with the baby by himself whenever I need to sleep.
i’m 22 and no where near ready for a kid but did i watch this fascinated all the way through attentively, yes. will i put all this information tucked away in my brain when time comes, yes
I have the hatch and my babe-o loves listening to the ocean sound it has. Also bought the elephant for the bath tub from a previous video that was posted on your channel and my newborn loves this part of his bath. So much easier to use than the cup
My sister had the “Baby Brezza Instant Warmer - Instantly Dispense Warm Water at Perfect Baby Bottle Temperature” for her second kiddo that kept bottle water at the right temp all the time. As a baby sitter it was amazing!!!
BEST bath item ever: angelcare baby bath support. No screwing with filling little tubs. Works for a newborn (on the counter when you sponge bathe them) right up until they’re fully mobile.
Loved this! But we need a video on more baby items! Which stain removers, which bottles…etc etc keep going!! As a parent, I love seeing people’s opinions on expensive baby options so I can know more about the product before spending the cash myself… thanks so much!
They were talking about changing things in the middle of the night and that reminded me of something that has been such a time saver with my kiddos. I have two mattress covers for each kiddo and I put on one then the sheet and then another cover and sheet over that. That way if there is an accident or leakage situation in the night you just pull the top sheet and mattress protector off and let kiddo go back to sleep on the sheet and matress cover that's already on the bed. 🥰
I had the Keekaroo Peanut too….and they have great resale value. 2 years later and post potty training I resold for $40. And it can slide under your couch/bed. Definitely buy this! And buy a silicone placemat with catch pocket. Folds into a super small size and a clean place for your baby to eat and catching all the bits. Food fairs, restaurants…your friends kitchen table..life changing
Best diaper pail for me was the Munchkin Diaper Pail! I agree with Lo for the bath toys sorter, I really wish I didn’t buy it! And it’s très bien hihi not trés bien (from a French Canadian from Québec) 😜 I love your content Rachel! 😊
Don't judge until you try it. We used disposable pet potty training pads as a changing pad. They are thin so you can fold them up and take them anywhere. They absorb if there's any accidents and then instead of laundry you just throw it away. Game changer!
My sisters never used the sheets for the changing tables; they bought a couple of pairs of king-size pillow cases. They worked great and were much easier to get on and off.
My son loved his boppy… he is 14 and we finally had to give it up last year. He used to use it to rest his head and neck on when he played video games. I hardly ever used it as a nursing pillow, but he loved it as his curly up body pillow when he was little. It was like his safety blanket and it everywhere with us. He is the one he let go last year and I have to say mom (me) had a hard time letting it go.
On the bottle warmer, we used a RapidCool - formula powder and boiling water straight in, shake for 2mins max and when the logo turns green it’s the perfect temperature. Ideal!
32:47 For my grandkids, when they were in strollers, I used a backpack with netting on the side for bottles or drinks. We used carabiners to attach the backpack to the stroller. Just a suggestion 😊 from Ohio🇺🇸
I do not have children nor do any appear in my current 5 year plan HOWEVER I just enjoy you guys so much that I still watched this 🤣 took notes for my role as the fun aunt
I have the frida baby electric nail file and LOVEEEE it! It has different file attachments from newborn all the way to adult and 2 speed setting. I have an 11 week old and I was terrified to use a nail clipper cuz she’s so squirmy, the e-file might be my fav thing ever
My youngest is 18. I don’t have any grandchildren. The kids aren’t even considering making me a grandma but yet I still watched and enjoyed the video. It was fun to watch y’all
I have a globally disabled child, and the electric nail files really make a difference, some brands come with different "heads" for the age of the child, so if it wasn't one of those it could've been too dull of a grit? I guess to do what it should do. I will note it does take some time to the trims down, like angle-wise and such but I also think we have added time because he's past the 12mo mark. >< I used to sneak into his bedroom like a nightninja with a headlamp flashlight and try to trim his nails to avoid a meltdown, but now I can do my nails, and then his nails, and he tolerates it much better. Maybe this might help someone on the fence - maybe not but thought I'd share! Lo is also right about the board thing being better for the legs for the exceriser bouncer thingy!
I got my 4 year old niece a bunch of toy fish with magnets and 2 magnetic fishing poles (so she could pretend to fish in the bathtub). She LOVED it but after a bath, there were like 35 plastic fish in the tub. I think that pool skimmer-like netting to hold bath toys would have been perfect for this!
On the changing pad we use the smaller washable covers you are supposed to take in a diaper bag on top of the main sheet so any accidents, we just throw those in the wash instead of the big sheet!
This is like watching a baby themed game of snake oil 😂 Also, as a plus-sized girl I hated the brest friend boppy. I didn't love how constricted I felt.
We've had the Dohm white noise machine since 2005 (it still works!) because my husband worked night shifts and would be loud on the stairs coming in at 6am, which would wake our (at the time) toddler up. So we got this and have travelled with it a lot...it's great in a hotel room where you can hear doors and ice machines, people in the hall...and on cruises where the rooms are too quiet. We ended up getting a 2nd one (since we now have 3 kids and we now use one, and thought the youngest might do well with one but she didn't like white noise, so we just have a spare...but our original 2005 one still works!)
I'm a mom of 2, but we lived in very small apartments when they were born, so we didn't have room for anything (e.g. we used a pack n' play instead of a crib). So my essentials were simply muslin blankets/swaddles, changing pad liners (just throw the liner on the ground and, voila, instant changing station), nail scissors, and the nose Frida thingy. Pretty much everything else can be done with normal household stuff. We didn't even use a baby tub--we just showered with them. My advice to new moms is to hold off on buying all the stuff until after your baby is born. Then as you go through those first few weeks, you'll realize where your pain points are and be able to get the things that will actually address them the best way for you and your family.
For nail files- Amazon calls it Consevisen baby nail electric nail file. 14k reviews 4.5 stars. I’ve had this to babies and it worked well. In the newborn stage when their nails are super thin it works well. Even when I switched to clippers I liked following up with this bc it really helps soften any sharp edges. Best of luck in your pregnancies and deliveries! ❤
I LOVED my electric nail file. I used it for maybe 2 or 3 years with my oldest and I'm using with my second now. I do find I need to get just thur right angle to work well since their nails are so soft
The electric nail file worked okay for smoothing out the edges of little one's nails. I highly recommend just using cuticle nippers for cutting baby's nails! It works so much better, and you can actually see what you are doing.
I’m not a mom neither ever planning on becoming one… I’m not a babysitter either BUT… I LAUGHED SO HARD WITH YOU 3. Omg, so funny. Loved the video! Wishing the best for the moms soon to be (again!). Greetings from Argentina.
My son is currently 30 yrs old. The noise machines weren't a thing when he was a baby. What we did was, we made a lot of noise during nap time and bedtime. As he grew, he could sleep through anything, and he still does.

The Safety First Sleepy Baby Nail Clippers are a must have! I still use them on my 2.5yo boy and I've never cut him!
Konny flex adjustable mesh carrier!!!
Game changer for baby carrying , especially in the summer

I too thought to myself near the middle of the video “why am I watching this I’m NEVER having kids” did I watch the video all the way through? Yes 😂😂😂

My babies are 27 & 18. I haven’t gotten to use most of these fun items. Now I feel prepared for future grand babies!!
Personally the nursing pillow, my Breastfriend was gold. With a newborn, getting them nice and high to the boobs and fully supportive plus with it being able to buckle it and make it stuck, I could walk around (of course while having one arm/hand on baby Especially for Moms who want to be on their phone or reach to help with other kiddos.
Loved this! Wish this review was around when we were creating the registry. We have the regular baby changing pad but we throw a wee wee pad on it instead of changing the sheet all the time.
We LOVE hatch. It’s great because there are times I forget to turn it on but you can use an app! All Lo’s points are 100%. It’s amazing. I’m 100% with Lo on the white noise machine
I'm obsessed with the electric nail file. We have the one with different file heads so there's one for newborn nails and coarser ones for older kids nails. Our little boy loves watching his nails being trimmed and zero complaints or injuries. It kinda stops when you apply too much pressure or touch the file head. I recommend it to every new parent!
The kick n play!!! Omg baby LOVES it, & it also grows w/ them. 10/10
Those white noise machines are *chefs kiss*. We had those exact same white noise machines scattered ALL throughout my college campus. We had them in our testing centers/testing rooms for exams, and we especially had them in all of our counselor’s offices. They really are the best.
I'm so glad I came across the dekor plus diaper pail. It has a bigger opening and can also be used with regular garbage bags if you want.
I have considered the bath elephant for a while, and now I might have to purchase it! But the NAIL FILE is one of my faves. Use the right grit head (mine has 3 different grits) and it takes two seconds to get a nail done with no stressing about hurting little ones. Also, my husband struggles with it, and I think if you file your nails then you can use this on a baby.
I have the elephant, but my concern is if it dries properly. If it doesn't, how much mold can it create.
We have been using the Dohm sound machines for 16+ years. They are THE best!!! The sound is perfect! We have them in all four of our bedrooms plus one for travel and another for guests. We have also gifted several of them.
Currently pregnant and have lots of this stuff on my registry. Thanks so much for the honest reviews and suggestions on things to add!
As a new baby mom, I LOVE the Hatch and the changing pad. My baby just turned one and he still sleeps in our room. I use both in there all the time. I registered for a 3 pack of covers and I just toss the dirty cover in with our sheets. I only ever used my (off-brand) boppy for tummy time with my son, cause he was bottle fed and for bottle warmers, I used the Dr. Brown's bottle warmer. I didn't care for the measuring cup that came with it, but it did get the bottle to the exact temp you needed it to be. I think the one y'all showed would be a million times better! Congratulations, Bee and Lo on your upcoming babies!! 💜
How exciting! Congratulations to both of your sisters!
This was a great video! As a mom of 2 I rated along with you all! For us the second time around, did not use a changing pad (ended up changing the 2nd baby with the pad from our backpack and in whatever room we were in) or diaper pale (garbage can works so much better!), and didn't use a bottle warmer (never had the right temperature and they got so dirty!
I love how Bee agree with all of the critiques but still give a high grades 😂 They both looks amazing and glowy ✨
As a first time new mom, we’ve definitely gotten quite a lot of things people swore by that we haven’t liked, but the two things we have used religiously since bringing our girl home is out Kindii bottle and storage system and our PopYum bottles. The Kindii system has just made the cycle of pumping/storing/feeding so much easier as everything is all compatible and convertible. We also have been loving the PopYum bottles, which I originally put on our registry cause I figured they’d be great for travel, but we have found we love them in general. It makes it so easy to prep the bottles while we are still sane enough to count and just have them at the ready for when we need to fill in a feed with formula instead. It’s really taken the pressure off me too cause it makes my husband feel a lot more prepared to be left with the baby by himself whenever I need to sleep.
i’m 22 and no where near ready for a kid but did i watch this fascinated all the way through attentively, yes. will i put all this information tucked away in my brain when time comes, yes
I have the hatch and my babe-o loves listening to the ocean sound it has. Also bought the elephant for the bath tub from a previous video that was posted on your channel and my newborn loves this part of his bath. So much easier to use than the cup
I love when Rach collabs with the family🥰🥰🥰
i’m a nanny, and have used lots of different nail trimmers. my ALL TIME FAV is the frida baby mail clippers. it’s amazing.
I love this! Do this more with kids as they grow ☺️☺️☺️
My sister had the “Baby Brezza Instant Warmer - Instantly Dispense Warm Water at Perfect Baby Bottle Temperature” for her second kiddo that kept bottle water at the right temp all the time. As a baby sitter it was amazing!!!
watching this video while i’m feeding my almost month old! loving it!
As someone who just turned 6 months with my first kid, thank you for this video!!
BEST bath item ever: angelcare baby bath support. No screwing with filling little tubs. Works for a newborn (on the counter when you sponge bathe them) right up until they’re fully mobile.
Loved this! But we need a video on more baby items! Which stain removers, which bottles…etc etc keep going!! As a parent, I love seeing people’s opinions on expensive baby options so I can know more about the product before spending the cash myself… thanks so much!
I’ve been waiting for this!!!! I’m pregnant and my shower is in October. This couldn’t have come at a better time
I don’t even have kids but I love when the sisters and sis in laws are on!
Ftm baby is almost one now. A lot of this still helpful for me. Thanks ladies!
They were talking about changing things in the middle of the night and that reminded me of something that has been such a time saver with my kiddos. I have two mattress covers for each kiddo and I put on one then the sheet and then another cover and sheet over that. That way if there is an accident or leakage situation in the night you just pull the top sheet and mattress protector off and let kiddo go back to sleep on the sheet and matress cover that's already on the bed. 🥰
I had the Keekaroo Peanut too….and they have great resale value. 2 years later and post potty training I resold for $40. And it can slide under your couch/bed. Definitely buy this! And buy a silicone placemat with catch pocket. Folds into a super small size and a clean place for your baby to eat and catching all the bits. Food fairs, restaurants…your friends kitchen table..life changing
Best diaper pail for me was the Munchkin Diaper Pail! I agree with Lo for the bath toys sorter, I really wish I didn’t buy it! And it’s très bien hihi not trés bien (from a French Canadian from Québec) 😜 I love your content Rachel! 😊
My baby absolutely loves the elephant shower thing and it makes baths so much easier
The electric nail file is a game changer!!! Once you figure out the learning curve, you’ll never go back.
Don't judge until you try it. We used disposable pet potty training pads as a changing pad. They are thin so you can fold them up and take them anywhere. They absorb if there's any accidents and then instead of laundry you just throw it away. Game changer!
My sisters never used the sheets for the changing tables; they bought a couple of pairs of king-size pillow cases. They worked great and were much easier to get on and off.
This video was so entertaining to watch. You guys have found your tribe.
My son loved his boppy… he is 14 and we finally had to give it up last year. He used to use it to rest his head and neck on when he played video games. I hardly ever used it as a nursing pillow, but he loved it as his curly up body pillow when he was little. It was like his safety blanket and it everywhere with us. He is the one he let go last year and I have to say mom (me) had a hard time letting it go.
On the bottle warmer, we used a RapidCool - formula powder and boiling water straight in, shake for 2mins max and when the logo turns green it’s the perfect temperature. Ideal!
32:47 For my grandkids, when they were in strollers, I used a backpack with netting on the side for bottles or drinks. We used carabiners to attach the backpack to the stroller. Just a suggestion 😊 from Ohio🇺🇸
I do not have children nor do any appear in my current 5 year plan HOWEVER I just enjoy you guys so much that I still watched this 🤣 took notes for my role as the fun aunt
I have the frida baby electric nail file and LOVEEEE it! It has different file attachments from newborn all the way to adult and 2 speed setting. I have an 11 week old and I was terrified to use a nail clipper cuz she’s so squirmy, the e-file might be my fav thing ever
I got a teensy bit excited when I saw the title because I thought Rach was prego and I love her pregnancy videos and trying pregnancy cravings videos.
My youngest is 18. I don’t have any grandchildren. The kids aren’t even considering making me a grandma but yet I still watched and enjoyed the video. It was fun to watch y’all
The hatch is the best! I'm recommend to all mom. Lights, the app,and the sounds are the best
I love these baby must haves! So helpful since l have a grandson now!
The haakaa nail file is awesome! It comes with different files for different ages
I absolutely love how close u guys r….
I have a globally disabled child, and the electric nail files really make a difference, some brands come with different "heads" for the age of the child, so if it wasn't one of those it could've been too dull of a grit? I guess to do what it should do. I will note it does take some time to the trims down, like angle-wise and such but I also think we have added time because he's past the 12mo mark. >< I used to sneak into his bedroom like a nightninja with a headlamp flashlight and try to trim his nails to avoid a meltdown, but now I can do my nails, and then his nails, and he tolerates it much better. Maybe this might help someone on the fence - maybe not but thought I'd share!
Lo is also right about the board thing being better for the legs for the exceriser bouncer thingy!
I got my 4 year old niece a bunch of toy fish with magnets and 2 magnetic fishing poles (so she could pretend to fish in the bathtub). She LOVED it but after a bath, there were like 35 plastic fish in the tub. I think that pool skimmer-like netting to hold bath toys would have been perfect for this!
On the changing pad we use the smaller washable covers you are supposed to take in a diaper bag on top of the main sheet so any accidents, we just throw those in the wash instead of the big sheet!
My baby is almost 18 years and I still loved this!
This is like watching a baby themed game of snake oil 😂
Also, as a plus-sized girl I hated the brest friend boppy. I didn't love how constricted I felt.
We've had the Dohm white noise machine since 2005 (it still works!) because my husband worked night shifts and would be loud on the stairs coming in at 6am, which would wake our (at the time) toddler up. So we got this and have travelled with it a lot...it's great in a hotel room where you can hear doors and ice machines, people in the hall...and on cruises where the rooms are too quiet. We ended up getting a 2nd one (since we now have 3 kids and we now use one, and thought the youngest might do well with one but she didn't like white noise, so we just have a spare...but our original 2005 one still works!)
I'm a mom of 2, but we lived in very small apartments when they were born, so we didn't have room for anything (e.g. we used a pack n' play instead of a crib). So my essentials were simply muslin blankets/swaddles, changing pad liners (just throw the liner on the ground and, voila, instant changing station), nail scissors, and the nose Frida thingy. Pretty much everything else can be done with normal household stuff. We didn't even use a baby tub--we just showered with them.
My advice to new moms is to hold off on buying all the stuff until after your baby is born. Then as you go through those first few weeks, you'll realize where your pain points are and be able to get the things that will actually address them the best way for you and your family.
Pregnant with a baby girl and mom to a 7.5 year old little boy watching wanting all the baby/mom content from these three because I looooooved it 🙌🏼🥰
Keekaroo change pad is SO worth the money. We lost our first one in a move, and got our second one on FB marketplace. Totally worth the money!
This was such a fun and informative video luvd it!
For nail files- Amazon calls it Consevisen baby nail electric nail file. 14k reviews 4.5 stars. I’ve had this to babies and it worked well. In the newborn stage when their nails are super thin it works well. Even when I switched to clippers I liked following up with this bc it really helps soften any sharp edges. Best of luck in your pregnancies and deliveries! ❤
The genetics are Hella strong in Chris's family!!!WOW😮
Percussive thrapy to make things work again for the win!
I LOVED my electric nail file. I used it for maybe 2 or 3 years with my oldest and I'm using with my second now. I do find I need to get just thur right angle to work well since their nails are so soft
Lo is seriously glowing in this video!!
My son is TWENTY and I remember loving the Boppy!
The electric nail file worked okay for smoothing out the edges of little one's nails. I highly recommend just using cuticle nippers for cutting baby's nails! It works so much better, and you can actually see what you are doing.
I’m not a mom neither ever planning on becoming one… I’m not a babysitter either BUT… I LAUGHED SO HARD WITH YOU 3. Omg, so funny. Loved the video! Wishing the best for the moms soon to be (again!). Greetings from Argentina.
My son is currently 30 yrs old. The noise machines weren't a thing when he was a baby. What we did was, we made a lot of noise during nap time and bedtime. As he grew, he could sleep through anything, and he still does.
Does he have a problem with sleeping through his alarms?
@@EmilyGOODEN0UGH He has always been able to get up to his alarms.
