Would be interesting to repeat this video concept but selecting all your favorites and totaling it up. Kind of like if you were starting from scratch today, what would you pick and what does that total up to.

Would love to see a "best of the best" video that also does this. Like your top recommendations for every category, not really taking price into account.

I’d love to see a no-budget recommendation list. ☺️

i seriously could not have found your channel at a better time. Me and my wife’s first child will be born August 28th and all your recent videos have been perfect for me. Thank you!

Using market place has allowed me to get the higher quality items I want but couldn’t afford new. Great video!

[Jinkyz]

Our little girl is due in September and you are by far our favorite "baby" youtuber. I use quotations because your style is much more akin to a tech youtuber and that's why we love it so much, straight to the point and entertaining. Good job!

[savanah]

I think this is a good middle of the road guide. Not everyone has people to give hand me downs. Thank you

My saving grace when my daughter was a new born was the hospital they gave us 2 bags of formulas. They weren't the full size but it lasted us 2 weeks before we really got a chance to buy it on our own.

Really useful video! Expecting my 1st in July and this has helped so so much!

As a soon to be 1st time Dad its so refreshing to see content that aimed a bit more at Dads! Was feeling a bit overwhelmed and useless :D

Thanks!

i think your info and editorial style is very good you seem very trustworthy which is important when taking guidance on how to care for the most important thing in your world!

I wouldn’t say a bottle warmer was necessary. We just dunked the bottle in a half full jug of boiling water and swirled it around for 30 seconds. Our baby wasn’t fussed about warm milk so eventually we just took milk straight from the fridge. Better to save the money and invest in a formula prep machine (Tomme Tippee prep machine) when you use formula.

As somebody who has helped raise a few babies in a small house with little money, a good Bluetooth speaker or radio works as a sound machine. And if the baby is sleeping in a room with you put on music on the TV or on your phone

There are a lot of items you don’t have to buy honestly to push the budget down. I never used a rocking chair for both of my kids, so mostly personal preference for what you are buying. You can use a cot from the beginning instead of a bassinet.

[spaceynasa]

This video really helped me get an idea of what my budget will be like, thanks for making it!

[asifsubhan]

Always ask your pediatrician for formula. I work in pediatrics, we get so many samples that we end up throwing it up because it expires or we just don’t have the space .

[jesikan]

I just bought a used doona midnight edition for 250 on offer up its in amazing condition the previous owner used it as a backup just for quick errands i plan on buying the uppababy vista as a main stroller before im due you can save money on things that baby will leave fast buying them second hand

[mykidsaresupercute]

Can you do a video with a big budget? Double or triple this. We decided to splurge on the big items (car seat, stroller) this time. Got a Nuna Revv for my car, Maxi Cosi Coral for my husband's, and the Orbit stroller. I love all of them!

[selenamartinez]

Yes I feel like for moms on a budget even if you want to breast feed keep your budget open for Formula I wasn’t able to breast feed my preemie baby even though I really wanted too also please be aware that some babies do have allergies and that formula cost can go up just because they need special formula and ALWAY ALWAY APPLY FOR WIC 🥰🥰

[joekrypt]

Baby coming in July this video is a God send !!! Thank you soooo much !!!

Exclusively formula fed baby since the get go over here. She goes through a full tin a week at 8 months old, however we were doing a tin a week/week and a half by a month or two. However my kiddo was on the small side and her overall intake has always been on the lower end. Like you said, every kids appetite is so different and if you're combo feeding, then formula will last a lot longer (and an open tin is good for a month).
