finally a regular woman who doesn't try to sell me on unnecessary B.S. that my kid is going to grow out of
Absolutely the truth! I’m experiencing this now 😂 35 weeks 1st baby
finally an actual BUDGET video. Thank you so much! I am a FTM and my baby is due Jan 2022 and every "budget" video has been full of pricey items one cannot buy on a non influencer salary... This has been so helpful!! :)
Ikr I’m so fed up of them videos
I think they do it for views so that ppl watch
I feel you on this. From the gender reveal to baby showers, I don’t know why ppl overdo it and I’m sure not everyone can afford 500$ in balloon decor alone. I’m one of those. I’d rather spend those on the baby.
I’m a first time mom due in October and I have been so overwhelmed looking at all the different videos of essentials and nursery tours and feeling like I’m not as good of a mom if I don’t have all that other expensive stuff. But this helped me so much with perspective, my baby just wants to be loved and cared for. He won’t notice if he has all this other crap 🥺❤️
Me too! Im due in October💕 goodluck mommy😉
I’m due in October with my first as well!
I am as well! I'm due in October, I'm trying to get stuff done before I get too big
@@heidiTourayOMG YES. Me, i only have a stroller, 6 clothes, carrier, burp clothes, swaddle,tub, portable baby car seat, 1 feeding bottle and hygiene health stuffs. No need to have a crib for me since i have a king size zen bed(no rise bed, matress and no leg bed frame) beside a wall. I sleep alone too.
Kelly Kawaguchi congratulations I’m a first time mum as well I’m due in dec. I been doing a lot of research on the absolute necessary‘s and I’ve also found out there’s a lot of them that you could just use as a DIY that’s super cheap and you’re getting the same kind of results I’m not gonna lie. Lol. Plus with Covid in people are at work never really know so it’s a very smart idea I think desert looking around on what is absolutely necessary what’s not necessary you don’t always have to have the big bucks items. I found a lot of my big items on Facebook marketplace for dirt dirt cheap
I’ve been going to all the thrift stores in town since I got pregnant and buying up whatever cute baby clothes I could find. Due in 8 weeks and we already have a hamper full! There’s no reason to spend more than $2 on something they can only wear for a month.
I’m going to try this
This is literally the most REALISTIC video!
I’m going to have my 1st son in 8 weeks... just bought a used pac n play & set it up exactly like you! 💙
I LOVE the message at the end of the video! It’s very easy for our brain to switch to a negative place and start thinking that we don’t have this and that, instead of realizing ALL the good things we have! Like such a underrated and not so appreciated thing as ...a roof over our heads and food on the table!🙌🏼 May God bless you all!
Yes, you don’t need everything that companies market to you.
Yes so so true!
This is the best baby prep video I've seen by far! Straight to the point and no unnecessary extras ❤ Huge thank you from this first time mom 😊
Thank you
I just found out I’m pregnant, and this video calms me so much about the fears of not providing enough for my baby. You made me realize I don’t need a lot of the unnecessary stuff, just keep it simple. Thank you ❤️
You got this!
Thank you so much, I am going to be a mom for the first time and I am 7 months now and feeling overwhelming... I really just want what is more essential don't want to spend to much and save to be with my baby longer... this really helps thank you again 😁
Great advice for first time Moms. I was overwhelmed with my first and everyone insisted I get what they liked. DON'T do that. Follow her advice.
Yes yes yes I agree with buying used especially if it's still in good condition! Also don't be shy excepting stuff from friends and family who have recently had children as well! If you don't have a changing table,get a portable changing pad for traveling and change baby on the bed.
Ohhh you know you are pregnant when you get out of breath just talking XD
I'm 31 weeks and I am so feeling this 😅
Factssss
😂😂 so that’s what it is!!! I kept wondering if I was in such bad shape, even though I’m always active 😅
Oh yes . Especially when your work involves helping customers 😣😣😣😣
And with the mask it’s not fun at all 😂😂😂😂
Facts bro
One of very few moms that don’t annoy me lol
We don’t have a nursery either. I prefer the baby in the room
Due with my second in five weeks. My friend looked at me like I had five heads when I said I wasn’t doing a nursery and that I was using a pack and play... I learned and wasted so much money with my first. I have all my essentials and that is plenty.
y’all know y’all can buy like a 6 in 1 crib (baby crib to full bed) for like $200 ? and that’s good until they go to high school
Cribs are way harder to move and get out the way sometime most pack n play also come with storage
In Australia we don’t use pack and plays as permanent sleep spaces, they aren’t considered safe.
@@aimeelouise011 same in the UK
I love this its so real and no nonsense ❤️ made me feel better about going the minimal route
Thanks for sharing links! Happy Mother’s Day! Can’t wait to see your little one.
Yes those washable nursing pads are great! I have the same ones!
I love this video I’m a first time mom & this really helped so much !
My type of style , all used and smart advice !
I have been watching a bunch of videos as I am 30 weeks. I love love lovvveee how you break it down. Definitely helped a bunch
I’m about to be a new first time mom and your videos helped me a lot, it’s simple and easy. It really put my mind to ease with what’s coming along.
As a first time mama to be (32 weeks pregnant right now), I really appreciate this video! So helpful. You are also a very reassuring person and I needed the reminder that I don’t need it all now :) thank you!!
This was so interesting to me. I had my babies in the 1980’s. I didn’t use a third of that stuff and we were fine. I breastfed and we did use cloth diapers. Baby slept with me.
I had my family in the 80's. I still had clothes with tags on them long after our kids outgrew them. Blessings! 🙂
Do you have any advice for cloth diapers I'd like to try
I love this video currently pregnant with my second baby and you definitely don’t need to stress about all that extra/expensive stuff 😊❤️
Thank you! Perfect and straight to the point! I am a first time mom expecting a baby girl and that was extremely helpful. My stress level towards nursery prepping dropped down. Thank you.
This video was so helpful! There’s so many gadgets and stuff that people recommend, it can be so overwhelming as a first time mom. Trying to keep it simple and affordable so thank you for this awesome content!
I found your channel not to long ago and you are absolutely adorable! Praying for a safe and healthy delivery for you 💕 Thank you for all your videos
thank you!!
I'm 8 weeks pregnant and already doing my research! Thank you for the video 🥰
I love this video SOOOOO MUCH! I followed your advise and bought a couple of items used and or got as handy downs and then was able to splurge on the items I really wanted! Kept it basic but still got everything I needed. Thank you! Best baby prep video!
All thee of my babies slept in a Native American cradle board and they loved it .
The muslin blankets are the best. My youngest son will be 4 in August and he still uses them!
You are so thorough and helpful! Thanks to you I will have everything prepared for my baby boy!
I used the lounger pillow with my son since he was a preemie and it was absolutely awesome! If he got a cold, he could nap in it during the day and it held him up enough to encouragr him to move around. Worked great for tummy time too!
Really appreciate that you’re looking for quality and affordability over aesthetics. I can tell you’ve kept only what you truly need and what works for you and a few new splurges and that’s it! Thank you!
This is the most helpful video I've seen! You definitely answered so many questions that other videos brought up lol. Thank you for making this video. I'll definitely be saving it to rewatch again and again!!!
I like how simple you kept doing my registry was overwhelming especially as a First time mom thanks
this is the best videos ive seen yet. thank you
I love this video so much!! So honest and realistic ! I spent so much money and thought I needed all these gadgets with my first baby. Now 34 weeks with my second pregnancy and I realize I didn’t need half of the things I thought I did! This video just reiterated all of my thoughts! Thank you!
Love it! I love how simple you made this! I’m on baby number 3 and these videos get outrageous! I feel better that I have these things and that’s it! No big shower so it’s us and my family sending stuff they want to buy new but I totally was game for buying used! Great tips!
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY 🌹💕
Thank you so much for sharing your tips for new mothers!!! There's nothing like speaking from experience!! You have everything down to the finest detail!! That's going to help do many moms!!!!
You are so beautiful and I hope and pray you have a fast and painless delivery and please take care and stay safe and healthy 💕💗
thank you so much for the kind words!!
First time mom , and this video helped me so much! I took a lot of things off my registry because it was a little excessive ... but thank you so much this help a lot!!❤️
Thank God for your video! I’m a first time mom (35 weeks) and definitely getting stressed as budget and space are an issue for the nursery. Everywhere I looked for suggestions, it wasn’t on budget or minimal… then I found your video. I could just hug you! I feel like I can relax now. I was literally in tears last night because I didn’t know what to do about not having an actual changing table. Thank you so much for this video.
So excited for you and your family. Cant wait to see if it's a boy or girl. Best wishes and praying for you and your baby. Flo
Great video. Every mom is different. Respect the honesty.
Absolutely love this video, thank you for being so realistic.
You’re like a super mom! This was the most helpful and informative video I have seen. I really needed this cause I have no clue what to get or what I will need! Thank you! 💜
Good luck! I had a boy then girl and a surprise (boy) for our third baby and was set up pretty much exactly the same as you.
It’s amazing how much I had for our first and how little I needed by the time the third cam along lol.
This is exactly the kind of video I wanted to find !!! So in detailed. Thank you so much for this!❤️❤️❤️
Best, realistic video I've seen!! Thank you for keeping it real and basic 💗
You are so cute! And so experienced with babies. Thank you for being here for mothers alike as a great resource of information ❤
A lot of good advice here especially with getting certain baby stuff used and being more minimalist, but the dock-a-tot and snuggle me pillows are NOT made for sleeping. They are a SIDS/suffocation risk! They are even banned in certain countries like Canada.
Nothing technically proved why SIDS happens 💁🏾♀️ . My aunt had the dock a tot and nothing happened to her baby so
@@keanuk6171 If baby turns (and cant roll themselves back over) and face ends up on the side, its a suffocation risk. Could you imagine trying to sleep/breathe for more than 30 seconds with your face smashed into a pillow? And with less developed lungs? Yes, we don't know much about the why behind SIDS, but this clearly poses a risk. Same reason you don't have blankets or stuffed animals where baby sleeps until they're able to roll over/move/push something out of the way consistently. And just because kids have been fine when using products, it doesn't mean they're actually safe. You can drive around in a vehicle never wearing a seatbelt and still be perfectly happy and healthy, but in the instant you find yourself in a predicament, you realize its an unsafe practice because of what CAN happen. "Know better, do better." Just because parents used to have their kids in cars without carseats, seat belts, in the front seat with airbags, etc. does NOT mean we should continue to do it. We know better now. If something doesn't happen even though its a possibility and it 'proves your point', that is called confirmation bias.
Joanna Petkau well nothing happened to my aunts baby lmao
I bought one and i am from Canada, no idea where you heard that !
@@keanuk6171 Just because nothing happened to one baby doesn't mean there's not a risk..
I’m due in 5 weeks and this video was super helpful! The ending almost made me tear up for some reason but then again- everything does right now 😂 i love your videos!
Hopping to see your baby really soon!!! Love all ur videos! Greatings from Panama!
i’m living with family & have a very very small room i’m working with & no nursery, so i’m trying to be as minimal as possible, this is so helpful!
I love it! I'm also having my third one soon and this time bought alot of used items and kept it minimal. Congrats!
Love this video. Thank you for being so real
My hormones are so crazy rn! I’m trying not to cry because of the cuteness!
I'm excited for you, Baby girl! You're one of my favorites on YT. Best wishes and God bless you as you welcome this new addition❣️ to your family. 🙂
Thank you so much!!
I really appreciate this vlog because it's really practical. Thank you!
As a first time momma-to-be, thank you so much for this!
you gave the most productive advice, thank you.
Abby, I'm so excited for you and your family, I love that you buy second hand and don't need a whole bunch of gadgets and gear. So often you see moms with bag loads of stuff and it all looks so cumbersome. Good luck Abby, keeping my fingers crossed that little baba will arrive soon. xxxx
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for your advice. I feel overwhelmed
I'm trying to finish up my shared room nursery. Thank you for sharing. My husband and i agree to try to go for minimalistic for our baby.
This was so helpful thank you!! I’m 25 weeks and a first time mom!
Just hit that subscribe button! Happy I found you and this video! I’m due in December with our first, husband and I are waiting to find out gender till birth too!!!! Yay! Love your easy organizing! This helped me and my list for sure.
Wonderful video, looking good busy mama! Have a Happy Mother's Day!💐
Thank you! You too!
Happy Mother’s Day ! Good luck with baby number three ❤️👍
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much 🙏🏾 this video really calmed me down and reassured me ❤️❤️❤️
Super helpful and kind of a relief! Thanks so much ❤
30 weeks today with our first!! We just set up her area beside my bed with all the essentials and I’m so excited! 😂💖
Gosh! This is the most perfect realistic video!!! Currently expecting my 4th and last yr I just so happened to purge all my remaining baby gear. All. Of. It. 😫 So I'm starting from scratch. Been 6yrs since my last and I almost forgot which things were the most important. Thank you so so much!!! 🙏🏽❤️ So excited and feeling less overwhelmed!!!
I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant with my rainbow baby (baby #3, after #2 ended in an 8 week miscarriage), and my first "baby" is now almost 16! I purged most of my baby stuff about 8 years ago, as I thought I was done having kids. Then, I lost the rest of what I'd saved in a messy divorce 5.5 years ago, so I'm literally starting ALL over again with this baby (I remarried almost 3 years ago)! This baby was a total surprise, so I'm still kind of in shock, but we are so happy and excited! I know your comment is a year old, but best of luck to you!
The most simple helpful and accurate video thank you ❤️
We definitely get summer babies. This is our fourth baby and first boy! We invested in the forever car seats and I have a boba wrap. We use swaddle blankets as receiving blankets or buro cloths. We just didn't want extra stuff. I tried to keep it as minimal as possible. I did go with disposable diapers because of my hands (I have a disease where my hands don't always work due to inflammation). Congrats on the baby!
Im low key nervous 1st time mom but your video made me feel less nervous and I know I will be ok with what I have for my baby boy Thank you! 🙏🙏
Thanks for
The video! I’m due in 4 weeks with my
First. Ahhh! This was super helpful. Happy Mother’s Day and good luck!
Its an excititng trip! I agree with Abby on lots of these things not being a must for baby!
congrats! you can do it! happy mothers day to you!
Thank you for making this baby is going to be here soon and we don't have an extra room so I'm trying to make space in our room so this was so nice to see I'm not alone:)
I absolutely love this video! Thank you love!🤗💝
I so agree with you about Baby Magic as the best smelling lotion! I used only Baby Magic on my kids as babies. They are now 22 and 20 years old. One other thing I always recommend to moms is Balmex with zinc bum cream. It is the only diaper rash cream I used after I found none of the others worked well. You're a great preparer!
I love that you found a used carseat and Chicco is one of the top rated xarseats for safety. I had a friend bless me with a new one yesterday and I am so so thankful fort just.
This is my second baby and this was the most helpful vid I love all the little things that make your live easier
I loved your video 💞 it put me at ease.
This was very helpful thank you❤
From a concerned Mom, I wouldn't buy a carseat used. The one reason is, if it has been in an auto accident it's considered damaged by NHTSA. Not eveyone will be honest about everything. I know about the NHTSA laws because my husband and I were rear ended by someone doing 40mph. We had to replace my daughter's booster seat because of this. The other guy's insurance paid for the replacement.
i personally know the person i got it from...so i know it hasnt been in a wreck and its very clean. thanks for being concerned
From what I've heard, the recommendation if you go used is to buy from someone you know so you know where it's been
Most insurance companies make you send pictures of the old carseat with the stickers peeled off and straps cut. This greatly helps limit the amount of carseats that are sold after an accident.
@@elliemyers7389 mine didn't. It was the other guys insurance paid for it. It was towed off in the car when it was totalled.
This is actually the best newborn essentials video i've seen! I didn't think I needed all that other stuff. I've been freaking out as most of my family live in another country so its been kind of tricky - my friends all have soooo much stuff for their kids and i'm always thinking its not really all that necessary.
I just found your videos and I have been trying to prep for my first, and also don't have a nursery. I have been watching nursery organizing to at least give me some ideas about what is truly essential. I try to tell people I want to so this budget friendly, and they act like I am from Mars and go babies aren't budget friendly...I am glad someone else gets it. ❤ definitely in the cleaning nesting phase at 7 months. Finally discovered the gift of sweeper dry/wet mop. I am sold.😅
I enjoy your video and love how simple you made everything. I also agree on buying things used. I got must of my stuff used and the others was gifted by my cousins from their babies. Some things I got It knew cause I had to move and were I am there is no thrift store around but I tried to get the cheapest and useful ones. Im first time mom with due date in October and trying to make things ease and simple. Thanks for sharing this videos it is so helpful.
A lot of the bigger things were given to me, I'm 17 and pregnant and every little helps especially as money's tight during corona
Turns out my dad kept my bassinet and crib so luckily those were two large bus I didn't have to worry about. The car seat is our big buy so far
17wow
This is definitely a rant but lord her age has nothing to do with the post, ironically it’s the one thing some people probably choose to pay attention too from her comment🤣Being a young mother/parents now days is nearly the norm and doesn’t have to define you. For some it’s a ‘mistake’ and for other it’s an intentional choice either way it’s okay. My husband and I (my high school sweet heart) got pregnant with our 1st daughter during the middle of our senior year. We still graduated and both managed to have full time jobs. Shortly after our daughter was born we got married, moved away from most of our family for a better job opportunity, and built a 1bed 1 bath studio by hand attached to a family members house. Less then two years later we found out we were expecting our 2nd we then purchased and paid off our first real home(not the best place or area but atleat it was a real home) all before the age 21. Now another 2 years later we are expecting our 3rd, in the process of purchasing a brand new home and land, we own both of our cars, and have 0 debt. We both have 6 figure careers, and own an upcoming dream business. We did it all without help and we are ironically the most successful from both of our families. All of these accomplishments before the age of 24. I’d admit not everyone is as lucky or choose to make the right decisions for their families, but not every teen parent is a disappointment. It certainly time people start to recognize being a real parent has no defining age as long as your take care of what you created! Some are fortunate enough to produce a lavish life for their family others have may have no choice other then the economic route, either way it’s okay, because atleat they are taking care of theirs! Many late 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s ect can’t provide a stable household and yet they don’t receive as much shit as a teen/young parent.
Thank you! So helpful!
Thank you for this video! I am due in 10 weeks with my first baby and feeling a bit overwhelmed with what I was thinking I needed. Also a little breastfeeding advice is needed, no classes or anything is being offered due to this whole world conundrum going on so this was great a out my nesting at ease a bit!
for breastfeeding I would read some books and really try to educate yourself on it. learn about it yourself and it will help you feel confident!
Happy Mother's Day !! Take care.
Being induced next week. Just binging more of these to make sure I’m ready.
This video helped me so much. thank you, thank you for making this video. Just found out recently I'm expecting my second child
May the Lord bless you and your family
Loved this thank you for all the tips x
She looks just like that actress from A Good Doctor. The resemblance, your voice, and the mannerisms are uncanny ❤️
Oh my goodness! Thank you for this video. I'm 10 wks pregnant today with my 1st child (my husband's 3rd) & I had barely ANY idea what I was going to need. I like the idea of the pack-N-play, it's more versatile. As of now we don't have a nursery & we're going to have to move. We currently live in a 1bdrm senior apartment, & I don't think we'll be able to stay after baby is born. Thank you again for sharing! Blessings to you and your family!!! 💜💜💜🙏
Im having a baby girl next month!! love the videos lots of great ideas and tips
love a real home. My room i use a hanging shelf for baby stuff and my bottom drawer becomes baby's. Then a caddy similar to yours for goodies that aren't bedding or clothes. Gotta do what works! I have bigger kids in other rooms and baby rooms w us for about 10m sometimes more.
