This video is long overdue! We’ve actually stopped giving Nikash a bottle in the last few months in preparation for our new addition. Otherwise, we’re still using all of this!
My son is 26 months. We still use his white noise machine, his angelcare bath support (he can lie back while we bathe him), his car seat (we bought a convertible from day one as I never wanted to carry an infant car seat), his stroller, baby blankets now used in his crib, and his crib.
Loved the tips! I do have to say I really liked our infant car seat. I feel like the main selling feature (for me) is that it's part of a travel system (i.e. car seat can be used with stroller) so that when baby is sleeping in the car, I can easily put the car seat in the stroller without waking her up and therefore, not always schedule my day around her naps. Obviously keep the naps in the car seat to a minimum (especially for newborns) but since babies sleep so much, there will definitely be times where baby falls asleep in the car. So instead of waking them up (or sitting in the car waiting for them to wake up), you can put the car seat in your stroller and go on with your day!
Susan Yara Maybe you can sell the one you have on the Facebook marketplace and get the Tripp Trapp for the new baby. They’re now selling the newborn set here in the US so you’d be able to use it from day 1.
Don’t rush potty training. I’m glad you feel that way. My 3 year old still wears pull ups when we go out. He just now became potty trained for at home. We did the 3 day method about a month ago. It didn’t work in 3 days. But it made a HUGE impact on him and by 2 weeks he was great with going potty while at home. But he still has accidents so no big deal.
I got the Sangenic Tech. When I put it on my registry a couple of moms said it was a waste of money, but I think is a basic item in my household, I don't have to take out the trash every five seconds and my home smells like a house and not a public bathroom.
You look positively glowing & beautiful Susan. Such a helpful video, I’m in my third trimester so buying everything now and it’s so nice to know what will last, thank you ☺️
Great video. Thanks for the advice. I am 31 weeks pregnant with my first baby! I was thinking of getting the Keekaroo highchair as it converts and even adults can sit in it.
I definitely got the Como tomos because of you and he had the worst reflux and the slow flow really helped him. Now he's 11 months old and we still love them! Q, when did you start using the blanket in his bed?
Sasha C Love hearing that! We started using the little giraffe blanket when he was about 11 months actually. I was a wreck at first because it made me nervous, but it turned out great.
You are really kind and honest to share all of this mummy stuff. I wish I watched this video 5 years ago so I'd know what to buy for my first born. I've wasted money on a lousy baby carrier and ended up using a stroller. My 5 year old still fits on a stroller because his weight still hasn't reach 15kg. He is a small guy I can say. However, my second born is much bigger and my dad bought a double/twin stroller (front and back type) for both my boys. It does come in handy even though my children are 4 years apart. So yeah, my youngest whom is also my second child is turning 9 months old. He used most of his brother's old baby stuff. I bought a new baby carrier and baby cot/playpen for him. I guess it's fair. Hahaha.. Anyways, thank you very much for this video! It is really helpful and I might look into the recommended items soon. Thanks again! :)
I love this video!!! It just came out late for me !!! My second baby es already 11 months.... I have always think about the Donna and I wish I have got it with my first and even with my second ... I am done with babies but that car seat I believe it’s worth it!!! On the stroller side I have also made my mistakes... I started up with a UPPAbaby Cruz and then upgraded to a Vista when little girl arrived.... I think you just forget to mentioned the bottle sterilized I have the wabi baby and it’s been almost 3 years in used and it’s keep working !!! I breastfeed my boy until he was 18 months and now my daughter is 11 months and being a full time working mom you need help sterilized all pumping parts plus bottles
I love my Chicco Liteway stroller. I got it almost 75% off during the Toys R Us closing sale and if something happened to it, I'd definitely pay double the full price to replace it. I'm stuck on what to get when baby #2 makes her appearance next year for a double that a tall toddler and a newborn can be in at the same time that's not huge and heavy.
Kangaroo Mommy try the Contours Baby Options Elite or the next model up, the Curve. I looked into so so many options of double strollers and settled on this. It’s tandem, easy to get in and out of doors and around stores, it’s got a huge storage basket too. The seats are very very roomy....both in height (for a taller toddler) and space between seats for legroom. Seats are interchangeable, can face you, face parent, or face each other. Also seats can be removed and an infant car seat can be clipped in. I went with the Curve. A bit pricey but exactly what I needed with a toddler and a newborn. Good luck!!
Kangaroo Mommy the contours is huge! I would recommend the Baby jogger city mini double or the Zoe x2 stroller. If you want a bigger tandem then the baby higher city select is the most amazing and can be used as a single or double.
Britney Grey He’s not! Video soon. We’re still experiencing the aftermath of it that no one seems to talk about, so I’m taking note and will share when I think we’re out of the woods.
Wish I saw this before our trip this summer. We have a doona but felt like our boy was too big even if he’s in the measurements so we lugged a car seat and stroller overseas and all across the US. I’ll keep it in mind for our next trip.
Hey Susan, so the million dollar question would be - if you can only afford one item, would you rather spend on Doona or would you spend your money on the Baby Zen Yoyo+ ??? 🌸💕
I ordered a boon drying rack 2 or 3 years ago...to use as an in-drawer knife holding block. It is crazy versatile and will likely get another one when we do have kids.
Are you going to get a double stroller? If so, which one do you think you’ll get. I’m pregnant with baby number 2 and overwhelmed by the double stroller madness!
Do you recommend having doona as your main stroller since you love it so much? Or do you think I would still need to get a main more sturdy stroller for the baby?
I still use so many of these products and my son and just a bit younger than nikosh!! Next baby I’m definitely buying the Doona! Did you purchase a stroller after he outgrow the Doona though?
You completely sold me on the Doona.. I put it on my list for things to get!! Then to find out it hasn't been approved in Canada is so disappointing ): they won't even deliver them here and I guess its illegal to be found with them?! I'm heartbroken!! but also found forums of people shaming the idea of getting one in the states and bringing it over because it might not be safe enough etc
Anylu Chong Hi! We stopped when Nikash started rolling over around 5 months. I got the grand dock-a-tot when he was about 12 months and it was the biggest waste, so I wouldn’t purchase the large snuggleme either. They’re only good if you truly plan to keep your kid in it and they transition to the larger one. At that point he was sleep trained and didn’t need it. I thought we might use it on weekend trips, but nope! Never got any use. I plan to use the original snuggleme with the new baby though!
Susan you are ahead of the crowd! Check out Real Simple March 2020 “Little Helpers.” The LectroFan is featured. Your recommendations helped me become the BEST “first-time” auntie based on this diaper bag add-on gift recommendation! Thank you for your awesome research-based info!
Lampadas Horde my kids are 2 years apart and we mostly just wear the baby in a sling or a backpack and or toddler just walks. We got a double stroller and then barely used it. I ended up giving it away. Look into Love Held ring slings or get a good baby carrier like the ergo 360, no infantino or baby bjorn backpacks!
I did this too! I had a doona style car seat/stroller but I barely used it and ended up giving it away. Like the other commenter I can’t recommend ring slings and a good backpack enough :)
You don’t change them every time they’re wet- that’s the point of the moisture wicking absorbent materials in diapers is so you don’t have to be so wasteful :)
I love that “it pleases me”. No better reason, Susan. 😊

Can you review what kind of educational toys do you use for nikash?
Loved the tips!

Check out pura Kiki stainless steel bottles, they range from newborn to toddler to adults too. Easy to clean and no plastic!
You’re so right about the Stokke Tripp Trapp. We still use it for our 2 year old. We now pull it up to the table and she sits with us.
Clarimel Vlakancic Ugh, see I wish I had that. 😭
Susan Yara Maybe you can sell the one you have on the Facebook marketplace and get the Tripp Trapp for the new baby. They’re now selling the newborn set here in the US so you’d be able to use it from day 1.
I have the peg-perego Siesta seat and we can use it for our table. It's a bit cheaper that the stokke one.
i watched the whole video when i’m 18 and don’t even want kids lmao
I'm 23 and single as fuck lol
I’m newly 18 and 9 months pregnant girl
@@frieddaypim799 Hopefully your birth went well 💜 I hear teenage pregnancies are difficult for your bodies

Once baby’s poop becomes ploppable, around when they start solid, plop 💩 into the toilet and you won’t have a smelly room :)
@@xueyingd OMG Thank you so much ❤️ 😄 I never thought of that, it should be really helpful
You look positively glowing & beautiful Susan. Such a helpful video, I’m in my third trimester so buying everything now and it’s so nice to know what will last, thank you ☺️
I've been using Puracy for years now, it works so well with all stains.
The doona was my best purchase too!!!! I love all these videos I’ve bought so many of your recommendations as our toddlers are a similar age 🙏🙏
Omgosh I would love to be able to afford a doona! My husband and I are trying to save for one, along with all the other baby items we need.
Useful video! There are so many products for babies these days.
Great video. Thanks for the advice. I am 31 weeks pregnant with my first baby! I was thinking of getting the Keekaroo highchair as it converts and even adults can sit in it.
Love this; currently working on my registry for our first baby and it's been really helpful watching so many videos about long-lasting purchases. :)
Adrianna Miller Congrats on your baby!
I definitely got the Como tomos because of you and he had the worst reflux and the slow flow really helped him. Now he's 11 months old and we still love them!

Amazing! Just the kind of info I’ve been looking for on the internet, but haven’t been able to find! Thanks girl! 💙
The blanket tip is so true. My friends's children all depend on their blankets to sleep.
Please make a video on how to deal with dark circles

Susan are you buying a double stroller and if yes ..what brand thanks Lux Nana ♡
Awesome tip on the high chair! I never knew they made high chairs like the stokke brand.
I highly agree with all you have said 👍🏻

HAHAHAHA omg the fact that you called toddlers neurotic is amazing...because yes
Thank you now I know what to buy my coworker.
Hi Susan.Thank you for your informative videos. Are you referring to the Stokke Tripp Trapp or the Steps high chair?
Are you going to get a double stroller? If so, which one do you think you’ll get. I’m pregnant with baby number 2 and overwhelmed by the double stroller madness!
Susan what crib and mattress do you suggest?
Will you be purchasing a double stroller?
Do you recommend having doona as your main stroller since you love it so much?
Or do you think I would still need to get a main more sturdy stroller for the baby?
KATT KIM I like having a main bassinet stroller for my baby just because you don’t want them to spend too much time in a car seat.
Lol sometimes I wonder why I gravitate towards Susan's baby videos.... Anyway it's really informative
Melindah Mkhwanazi Ha! 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I still use so many of these products and my son and just a bit younger than nikosh!! Next baby I’m definitely buying the Doona! Did you purchase a stroller after he outgrow the Doona though?
We already had the babyzen so we used that but not for long after we stopped using the doona. He preferred walking at that point.
I still don't like when my food touches. hahaha I need to get myself some of those plates!
Hey Susan! Love this, and SO many of your videos. Would you say that you need a Doona and a Babyzen?
You completely sold me on the Doona.. I put it on my list for things to get!! Then to find out it hasn't been approved in Canada is so disappointing ): they won't even deliver them here and I guess its illegal to be found with them?! I'm heartbroken!! but also found forums of people shaming the idea of getting one in the states and bringing it over because it might not be safe enough etc
The doona is the best!!!!!!
bluejemm 👍👍👍
Hey Susan! When did you stop using the snuggle me organic? They have a toddler size now, would you repurchase?
Anylu Chong Hi! We stopped when Nikash started rolling over around 5 months.

Great video! What stroller is your “big” stroller?
Holly Stai Baby jogger!
my two year old is still going through 7-10 diapers a day (maybe he drinks too much water?), what diapers are you using if you only need 3-4 a day?
Love live love that dress
Please make vlogs with Nikash in it!
nikash is soo cute
I know this isn’t on skin care but I have to know is refined shea butter like in the tub good or bad for acne prone skin
Alya Perez I wouldn’t recommend it for acne prone skin. Too heavy.
How long can an infant stay in the doona?
Very Good My Friend!!!
Show! Excellent!
Hugs!

I worry about the sound machine because what if the baby becomes dependent on it to get to sleep...forever! 😱

When you say you only use 4 diapers a day.. -do you mean poopy diapers?😅 I really hope so🙈
Sigrid Steen Two are usually a poopy diaper. There’s usually one midday that’s just filled with pee and then we use a nighttime diaper for sleep.
Susan Yara Okay😊 But is his diaper not wet all day then?🤷🏻♀️ He must pee more than 4 times a day😅 I certainly do.. Great video btw😍
@@SigridLOL you don't have to change a diaper everytime time they pee.
You don’t change them every time they’re wet- that’s the point of the moisture wicking absorbent materials in diapers is so you don’t have to be so wasteful :)
@@jaspriest1997 right? You'd go through 30 diapers a day, if you changed them every time they peed.
