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

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.

@@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.

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.

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 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.

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 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!

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.

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!!! 💜💜💜🙏
