Watching this video just made me think “yeah, we’re in a different tax bracket” 😂

[bjohnson]

These items are wonderful but, frankly, most new parents cannot afford them and have no choice but to buy less expensive things. I agree with Krista P, you live in a world of affluence that most don't enjoy. I'm not criticizing your ability to purchase these things. You are blessed and I know you know that.

The snuggle me organic and dockatot are not meant for overnight sleep. Babies have died in them. hence they've changed their descriptions to "loungers". Please always keep an eye on your baby while they're in these x

Ladies, if you’re planning to breastfeed, get your medical provider to write you a script for APNO (all purpose nipple ointment). You need to fill it at a compounding pharmacy. It is WAY better than any nipple cream you can buy in store. Fill it before baby is even born and have it standing by from day one. It’s amazing and heals cracked and bleeding nipples so quickly.

The best thing I ever bought for all my children was a bookshelf and books, but...the diapers, wipes, sleepers were the actual must haves 💗

[carolelee]

As a older Grandma this was amazing. Things are so different today. Most of these things I have never heard of. I have also enjoyed seeing your baby grow up and the family time spent with your baby.

[trinapeddicord]

Just seems like most of these are not economically realistic for most new parents. It’s a shame that many will see this and probably go in debt trying to keep up. Ladies, do your research. There are so many more great items that are affordable. They may not be the trendy names right now, but are tried, true and have been tested by so many moms.

[MB-kmhh]

It’s crazy how expensive these are for how short they are used. 2nd hand definitely seems the way to go if you can find it! Thanks for the ideas for expecting friends!

[shirak]

Many many lactation consultants don’t recommend the elvie pump. The pump doesn’t do a good job at extracting . If you must get a Wearable pump they say go for the willow.
A better option for a portable pump is a baby buda pump or pumpables pump with collection cups that u stick into your pumping or nursing bra.
Also, if the flange (part that houses the nipple) fit isn’t good then you won’t be extracting milk well and that could lead to Mastitis.
There is so so much that goes into pumping….

[kristinavelasquez]

I appreciate the higher price points, not everyone lives on a tight budget and there should be content for everyone. thanks!

I just want to say while things on this list are expensive, and I cannot afford all of them, this video was very helpful. There are a few items I want to splurge on for baby, like the crib and I didn’t know which crib she was using until this video! And this crib definitely seems to be perfect for me! There are definitely other items that I will be buying a cheaper version of, but there are people that have as much money to spend as she does and I’m sure they also find this video very helpful. So just want to thank Sharrah for making this. I’m not really one to comment but don’t want her to just get negative comments and not make a similar video in the future. Really great informative video and thanks so much for all the links and explaining why you liked/disliked certain items! ❤️

[missiemel]

Sharrah is obviously a first time mom but i love how passionate she is about this. I personally like simplicity!

For baby cameras, we’ve used a Wyze security camera, the 360 is the best because you can move it around and see the whole room (necessary after your toddler is no longer confined to her crib). I love that it’s useful even after we stop spying on our kids. It’s also nice to have it accessible via an app on all our devices. And I love that it saves footage on an SD card so we can look back at what happened if we need to.

[lauramoreland]

Love you Sharrah, but I can’t see past all the unsafe sleeping advice. None of those baby loungers are meant for sleep. Babies have died in those, and that’s why influencers need to be so careful about recommending them to new parents and specify that those are LOUNGERS that must be used for awake time only.

[SamanthaSteMarie]

I had a baby ten months ago and have to say that a lot of this stuff is NOT needed OR there are more cost efficient options. A lot of these items are amazing quality but just a disclaimer that you there are other options that are just as good but not as expensive.

Examples: HelloBello diapers are hella expensive. If you have access to Costco… get the Kirkland brand! It’s around $40 for 222 diapers.

At the end of the day, you don’t need. $1200 stroller, a $350+ crib mattress, etc.

You can get everything you need for a fraction of what this video talks about. If I didn’t know any better, this video would give me anxiety!!

[TheSophiesVids]

Timely!! I'm 28wks pregnant. Didn't know you were expecting again, congratulations!! ❤️

[andreavictoriasanchez]

Third baby and most of these items I didn’t purchase with my first or second mainly because I was a stay at home mom and had support -extra hands to hold baby means less contraptions and gadgets. Now as a single working mom of two toddlers and baby on the way I am definitely splurging on these because 1. They are beautiful and make me happy which for your mental health can seriously be helpful and 2. With other littles and basically zero support I want to know that I have every available resource to me! Yes that means I’ve had to stop ordering takeout and getting my nails done but I’m on minimum wage and almost finished purchasing every item I wanted without going in to any debt. It can be done and you don’t have to be rich to have and enjoy your kids.

[soniaperez]

You are amazing, Sharrah. We just moved into our 1st home that we purchased & I have watched your videos religiously. You have given me so many wonderful tips, thank you.

[ntmn]

Wow, lots of people complaining about prices here. Good products cost money. But there’s always second hand. Whatever you do, make sure you’ve researched the items you’re buying. Don’t just buy the cheapest thing just because it’s cheap. What’s cheap now may be more expensive down the road. Make sure the items you pick don’t have too many recalls and are easy for you to use. That’s it.

[taylorswf]

I’m pregnant again too. My babe is 15 months. Kindred pregnancies. I agree in sentiment with many of these recommendations but we went major budget-friendly, buying as much secondhand as possible. We’re buying next to nothing for the second baby, even though we didn’t know gender for either baby- or perhaps because we didn’t know. Everything had to be neutral for the first few weeks/months.
