It warms my heart so much that you donated your milk via Human milk for human Babies!! I struggled so much with my supply and my son was almost solely fed with donor milk through HM4HB from 3 months on. It gave me such peace to know he was still getting breast milk even if I couldn’t supply it directly. THE MOST AMAZING GIFT WE HAVE EVER RECEIVED!!!

[Rae_eLLe]

Literally thought the same thing! "Idk what to ask for I don't have a baby!" 🤣🤣

[sarahsantos]

I like knowing what became an essential to mama's compared to what they thought was an essential before baby came around. Thanks Shayla for this video!

[shelbywilliams]

I have a 1 year old, the biggest thing I realized I didn’t need was all the baby clothes. People bought us many clothes and I myself overbought baby clothes. You really don’t need much! Thanks for the video!

37 weeks today. My friends asked me if I wanted their hand me downs and I was like hell yeah. It was the best part. Not having to buy clothes and not having to waste clothes

[k.g.]

"You will adapt to what you have and figure out how it works for your family."
Best advice ever!!
Mom of 7, my oldest is 18 and I have to say this video is the best advice I have seen on YouTube. You hit so many "nails on the head" I wish I understood some of these things after my first child.

Just don’t get a second hand car seat. They have expiration dates and you don’t know if it’s been in a wreck

[elizabethj]

This is a pretty good list, most people don’t actually need whatever is advertised to them. What we did use was the pac n play. We used it for when our son outgrew the bassinet but still slept in our room. We use it every time we travel and will use it for our second baby while he’s still in our room.

Ugh I'm SO grateful for the kinds of things you cover on your channel! I'm not a mama yet, but my husband and I are going to start trying next year, so I'm researching all my questions now, and you cover EVERYTHING that I could want to know! You're the best.

[stephaniem]

This was super helpful. I get decision paralysis, especially now that I'm trying to shop for a tiny human whom I haven't even met yet! I just entered the second trimester, so I've been slowly collecting ideas and things from different moms. This video and your Amazon store are a godsend. Thank you!

Very interesting to see what is considered minimalist in the US. (This is not meant ironically) 🤗

[sogno_di_carta]

The pack and play is amazing if you plan on having the baby sleep at grandmas house. Also it does serve as a changing station, and it will also serve as a play thing.

[heatherlawhon]

My favorite sign is MILK. Cut down on like >80% of fussing because I wasn’t trying to read her mind. She 19 months and still signs for milk in her sleep which helps her to dream nurse, which is AMAZING for my sleep.

I JUST started my baby registry today so this video came at a PERFECT time !!!

[MabelJeanN]

This is such a great video. As someone who's already gotten overwhelmed thinking about the amount of stuff I know will be coming into my home, I pared down our registry as much as humanly possible. Baby boy coming mid-late October, CANNOT wait to meet him and see if he even likes half the stuff that he has already been gifted <3

[ariellelionessofYah]

My babe is due in June and I’m just eating up your videos! They’re SO HELPFUL!! Thanks for the non toxic car seat recs. We’ll definitely be looking into the wool ones😊

[stephanieruddock]

I’ve seen you mention the bottle thing in other videos too and just wanted to throw out there for new moms that if you start bottles early, chances are baby will take a bottle no problem and they don’t care what kind. I breastfed both my babies, the first until 17 months and my son is 8 months and still nursing, and I started one bottle per day pumped milk when they were a few days old and never did they reject bottle or breast, and I used a different kind of bottle with each kid and they didn’t care. If you wait longer, generally babies will reject any type of bottle you give them. I just didn’t want to scare new moms or make them think you need 5 different kinds of bottles. If you choose to start using them right away and stay consistent, they don’t care what kind.

Carrying my baby on my back since she was like 6 months old was a game changer!
She looks over my shoulder and sees everything, plus it’s better for my back and pelvis

[samanthasprague]

The difference between what I asked for with my first baby and my third is crazy. I look back and realize I did NOT need majority of this shit. Baby sign language with my kids has been a huge help!!!
Also absolutely LOVE the Frida baby snot sucker. Absolutely hated the bulbs.
All infant car seats are heavy. Third baby and we are foregoing the infant car seat and going straight to a convertible seat and will baby wear when going into the store. I like the baby K'tan for when they're newborn and lillebaby carrier for when they're a little bit heavier.

[catdeland]

Love that you played the old video at the same time!

Sometimes babies will like something for like, a week and then decide they don't like it 😂 we got a used mamaroo as well and she liked it for a whole week and then decided it wasn't for her. Yay babies!
