As a new mom, I agree with all of these things! The less I have to pick up, put away, and stub my toe on, the easier my life is. Would much rather be slightly inconvenienced sometimes because of not having everything, than having to manage and work around more things!
I have 2 already (younger one just turned a year old), and I will say that the cloth drool bib one is definitely something that depends on your baby. We had maybe 3-4 for our first that were given to us as gifts, and I hardly used them. But with our second I ended up buying a bunch because they turned out to be a MUST if I didn’t want to change his outfit even more often than I already was (which was usually 5-6 outfits per day minimum in the early weeks/months, sometimes 5-6 just before noon). Both of our boys did a LOT of spitting up in the first 3-6 months (perhaps in part because of an abundance in my breastmilk supply and an imbalance in foremilk/hindmilk ratio 🤷♀️). I went through tons of burp cloths, but having the bibs helped preserve more outfits from needing to be changed when he spit up beyond the burp cloth or did it delayed. Our second has also done a ton of drooling for days or weeks ahead of each new tooth he gets (he had the first 8 teeth in by the time he was 9 or 10 months old), so the bibs can get soaked and swapped out easily without having every shirt/PJ he’s wearing get soaked constantly instead.
The MommaRue baby swing. Expensive, bulky, not practical. It was one of the most expensive things we purchased and it never ever got used. Collected dust in the basement now.
A little advice - don't make too many assumptions on baby 2 based on baby 1. They're full of surprises. I wanted to do baby lead weaning with my son, they say you can start by 6 months. Well, no. He could only tolerate the finest pureed food at 7 months and now at 8,5 I slowly add the least bit of consistence to it. Any resrmblence of firmness would make him throw up so bad. You never know what's coming 😅
Same my baby is 1 and he barely can do any baby lead weaning. He would literally inhale the food and choke. Then he would get so frustrated and refuse to eat at all 😅
What? She’s sharing what she feels isn’t worth spending money on. She named everything throughout the video and sometimes an alternative. What are you on?

Amen to the stubbing the toe part lol, I feel like I do that daily as it is 😂 Thanks for sharing!

It's wild how things can change from baby to baby-sounds like the bibs were a lifesaver for you with your second! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Super helpful thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed!

Haha, so true that every baby is different! Sounds like you’re rolling with it, though! Every baby’s on their own timeline. Appreciate you sharing! ☺

What brand of non toxic detergent and soap do you use?
I use Truly Free for pretty much everything!
15 min and still didn’t get to the point…
