Hey Abby just wanted to come on here and give a quick warning and really hope you’re not offended at all, I just mean well. The way CJs head is nuzzled into the other side of the wrap can cause rebreathing and it can be really dangerous. It best to have his nose exposed to direct air. I hope I don’t sound rude, this just isn’t something I was even aware of when I had my first born! I had no idea rebreathing was even a thing so I assumed if his airway wasn’t blocked he would be fine

This is one of the only times I’ve seen someone else not have a designated diaper changing station!! People thought we were nuts for not having one, but we were also living in an apartment when we had our first baby and it saved us money/space, as well as giving us more flexibility to just have a diaper caddy that we move room to room with washable changing liners (the munchkin brand has been our favorite). We consistently change our daughter on our bed, but having the freedom to move around has been great!

I appreciate the fact that you are honest about the products, quick in your explanations and you are very well spoken!

I wore my son daily cause he was terrible at napping
And everyone was like... you are spoiling him. But I was so stressed at my baby not sleeping, so I just followed my gut and wore him. It really helped.
He is 6 years old now.

This was super helpful! I am almost 5.5 months pregnant and starting to create a registry! So thank you 😊

[caroline_reese]

Y’all are the best parents! TRULY! I love watching y’all’s videos! Keep it up girly!

[estherbennett]

Yay!! I needed this Abby, I’m 6 and a half months pregnant with my third baby, first boy, and I need a refresher mentally of what I need to get since I got rid of all my old baby products!!

I love your videos! Thanks for sharing

I’m breastfeeding my 4th and another great option is bamboo reusable nursing pads. I have had the same set of 7 for 3 of my 4kids now. Just wash them when you have 1 or 2pair left. Great video though and all great products.

I have 5 weeks left and haven’t really bought anything. I do have a few of things you mentioned on my Amazon cart but I don’t want to overbuy. Soon to be a first time mom!🤍

Thanks for sharing this list, literally so helpful. 🫶

For diper rash you can use petroleum jelly it has helped out so much have used many different types but the petroleum jelly has worked the best

I just recently learned about silverettes also. I believe they are intended to be used without nipple cream. They sound so helpful!

Hey Abby! I love the "Jesus Storybook Bible". Thankful for your faith and videos.

[emilywlambert]

Oooohh I’m about to go order that Bible storybook for my 6 month old! We have little individual books of a few Bible stories we read and I’ve wanted a big one! Thanks so much!!!!

[RachelM]

This is so helpful -- thank you SO much for this!! I am 34 weeks pregnant with our first baby and have felt so clueless and overwhelmed about what to get. This will help me get started!! Thank you! P.S. Congrats on your beautiful baby boy!! We are waiting to find out the gender too!

Non of my 4 sons were binky babies. They all were “blankie” babies.
Even now, as young adults-they had a favorite blanket.

You are such a great momma! Bless you and your family! 🤍🤍🤍🤍 I am pregnant and this will help me so much!

[ameliaodell]

Putting the pads on the bra insert is a great hack. Thanks!

I am contemplating the mockingbird as well but fyi they have been recalling the single to double ones (essentially the model you have)

This is super helpful as a FTM living in AZ with a baby due in July 😅
