21 NEWBORN ESSENTIALS | things I wish I knew as a first time mum!

You look sooo different than when you were pregnant with fox. You look like a legit mom and it’s the cutest thing EVER 🥺

Hey all! Third time mom here to offer some tips. Instead of a white noise machine, I use box fans. I have one in each child's room as well as out in the hallway. This not only helps with white noise, but it also keeps the room cool, which aids with sleep, AND studies have shown that having air circulate can help lessen the risk of SIDS (they believe that an improper oxygen/co2 balance in the blood is what causes SIDS). Also, first-time moms (myself included) tend to be overzealous with the diaper changes. Unless they have a full diaper or lots of poop, most babies don't need a diaper change every night or multiple times a night. When my second and third baby were less than 2 months old, I would change them once a night usually. Although I've found that even with poop, unless they've started solids, it usually doesn't cause a rash if it sits in their diaper (and doesn't really smell much). But I was fortunate in that all 3 of my babies stopped overnight pooping 99% of the time at like 3 months at the latest. But yeah, you don't need to be waking yourself all the way up or turning on lights and confusing baby's day/night cycle for diaper changes unless they're bursting. My boy is 6 months old, nurses quite a bit and wakes at night to nurse most nights at least once, but he almost never pees out of his diaper. Which leads to my third tip... Always put your baby in as large a diaper as they're ready for (for overnight at least). Don't wait until they couldn't possibly fit into their current size to size up. If you think they're getting even a hint too big for their current size, size up. And always check the elastic's tightness around the thighs (especially on the backside) to avoid peeing and pooping out the legs crevices. My 2nd baby was sleeping in her own room and through the night at like 4 months, partially due to her easy temperament and partially due to the fact that I helped her to avoid day/night confusion by not using lights for unnecessary things.

[@nikolinalazic5098]

My older sister was 15 and older brother 14 when my twin sister and I were born! They will have the best relationships

[@user-fv5ol4or1b]

please make sure you are easy on your older child and do not force them to participate in the parenting process if they don't want to. My mom had my brother when I was 14 and going through a tough phaze with my mental health. Our relationship wasn't the best and I didn't have a relationship established with the father of my brother. They broke up a year later and a lot was put on me while I wasn't in a good place myself. I understand that a newborn is exciting, and I in no way say that you will do the same my mom did, but just please be easy on your other child 🙏

[@mariocartel544]

Saw this, felt like the only one for a min with a huge gap in kids ages, my son will be nearly 13 when my new baby girl is born, I'm 22 weeks now and was thinking shoot what do I even want to buy this time it's been so long lol. My biggest concern is the clothes for some reason because I'm due in April and sometimes here it's snowy then and other times it's like 75 degrees it's so unpredictable lol. Was thinking of doing dresses mostly so I can just throw tights on underneath when it's cooler out lol. Then im super minimalist too always been that way and think like I dont want to be too minimal with a baby and totally forgot babies need special bath setups lol. Want to try this flower thing you put in the sink I saw online, seems better then those crazy tubs from the older days.

[@glowyaf]

I took a couple tests a week and a half ago and finally got a positive result with both. Went to the doc Tuesday and they confirmed it. This is my first baby and I’m so excited to get all the things they need so I wanted to binge some videos to see what I should get. Your videos are so fun!

[@Cristina_87]

Since my baby was a newborn (he is 6 years old now and still using it) we used a Salt lamp as night light. The color and the brightness are perfect and it's also healthy because improves the quality of the air in the room

[@juneweeks3539]

Does yours get hot? Mine does & I was wondering if all salt lamps do?

2 mattress protectors are amazing but PUT THEM BOTH ON AT THE SAME TIME 🙂 Honestly, game changing. When you, in the middle of the night need to change the sheets, just ripping off the top fitted sheet and mattress protector and being done is the best tip I was giveb as a new Mum.

Hello, this is Dr. James, analyzing the ingredients used for babies. 99% water baby wipes contain hidden chemical preservatives, not suitable for newborns. So, what's the solution? You should use baby wipes made with 100% water. It's essential to use water-only wipes like Blissmile baby wipes.

[@emilypodschweit7556]

Thank you so much!!! I’m 20 weeks pregnant and so overwhelmed with what I need and especially what I dont need!! Adding all this to my list! ❤️❤️❤️

[@angelbaker732]

I used to be terrified of having kids, and watching your videos of your journey of having Fox had made me so much more excited to have kids. Now I have 5 week old twins❤️

[@taliahunt3213]

YES Sezzy, my second Bub is 7 months old and I second all of these. The chair that swivels as well as rocks is a game changer, makes reaching for the snacks and water so much easier. My added essentials: - water bottles - everywhere you might feed. There’s nothing worse than sitting down, starting to feed, thirsty as f$&@ and you left the water bottle in another room. - ingenuity bouncer ($129 at big w) is a dream - so easy to move and babies love them. I dragged it with my feet so many times. My baby also hated the swing (the same one you had) - comfy loose stretchy pyjamas for yourself. Whether hot or cold weather, stretchy loose pyjamas are a god send. - a snack caddy (even if it’s part of your normal one), I found light snacks helped keep me awake in the early days too, and you’re so ravenous when your milk comes in - everything clothes in BONDS - the zippers, the stretchiness, the ease of washing, they are just the best

For baby wearing: Happy Baby Carrier makes the most lightweight front backpack and backpack style carriers for babies and toddlers. I recommend once you are more comfortable moving over to slings, my favs are Hope and Plum but some broken in Wild bird slings are good, too.

[@FatNatFuego]

Sezzzzyyyy!!! I just found out I’m pregnant earlier this week & have been planning to re watch all of your pregnancy videos to kinda prepare myself. Thank you so much for this video. Love youuuu 💕💕💕

[@tamflintham7943]

Hey Sezzy, I know this is a long shot, but I saw you are giving away the old rocking chair you used with Fox. It is exactly what I have been on the hunt for. I don’t want this to sound like a sob story but my partner and I have been looking for a second hand one that’s a lot cheaper for us for the longest time. I am 36 weeks plus 3 days and we still have not found one. My partner has his own property maintenance business that is only a few months old so we don’t have much income to spend on baby stuff right now. We live in Newcastle so I was wondering if you still had it would there be any way you would give it away to us or we could pay a cheap price for it too. Sorry if this is a weird comment or to close for comfort. I totally understand. But I thought it was worth trying to see if you are interested ❤️

I am afraid to hear that. If you need, i can give away some baby essential for you, and it is new.

[@victoriamitchel]

We have that bath seat and it’s good for teeny tiny newborns but as soon as our baby started to use their legs, they can wiggle down and off it. We switched to the shnuggle as soon as they had good head/neck control, which is similar to Sarah’s original bath but A LOT lighter, easy to lift, empty etc. Also good for; hauling loads of laundry about and containing baby when I need a quick shower myself!

[@Sairs1902]

I've recently had my third bub and the terry towelling cloths for burp cloths are the best, I tried fancy ones and went back to the basics. Newborn essentials for me are Bonds Zippy Wondersuits, Love to Dream swaddle ups and a capsule for the car so you can buckle them in the house and not chase a toddler while trying to get the baby in the car seat.

[@DGluck-pe3ro]

I think dummy is essential - helps soothes newborns. 1 . Babybjorn is expensive. There are bouncers that come with toy attachment already eg fisher paykel and are gr8 . 2. Re Bed light. .Any lamp with a pull cord is good (ikea has many ) 3. Re Nursing Chair: - they can be expensive and u need space. So even just a couch or bedhead is fine to lean head on 4. Bath: Not everyone has a bath or big sink. There are many collapsible & foldable baby bathtubs that are super cheap. 4. Small baby bags are good as they have compartments and pockets. Keep small change mat and bottles if you bottlefeed and carry water around . It has side pockets etc. Also don’t forget changing mat when u are out.

[@jamiegaray43]

This is by far the most helpful and accurate list of “essentials” I’ve seen on KZbin. I’m a mom of four kids, aged 4-13, and currently pregnant with my fifth (and final) baby… so I can vouch for this and say every item she mentioned is practical and WILL be used. No need to watch more videos; save yourselves and your friends time and stick to this one!

[@callyoakley6492]

I’m 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I literally couldn’t agree more with these products! I would have recommended the same things and I also bought a bedside crib instead of a Moses basket this time and I’ve just got the same angelcare bath thing too and the Haakaa this time round!

[@Hinshawlizzy]

I love Sarah’s personality so much!! She’s like a ray of sunshine in every video

[@TravelingKristin]

I wish these products were in the description. Also I would love to know the dress you are wearing, it’s s so pretty and looks comfortable. I am expecting early April with our first and love seeing what mom’s love in terms of products😊

[@chloecurtis5309]

I’ve tried a few swaddles with my bub and I’d definitely recommend the ‘love to dream’ sleeping bag over the ergo pouch. It does the same thing with the temperature but better for hips and arms. I wrapped my little one for the first few weeks then switched over to the love to dream swaddles. I found my bub and a lot of others love to sleep with there arms up… (after the tight swaddle stage). However with the ergo pouch it doesn’t allow bub to do that… whenever I tried the ergo pouch sleeping bag, my bub kept wanting to sleep with her arms up and relaxed above her head but in her sleep she’d try get her arms up by putting her hands through the neck hole and sometimes they’d get stuck. Making it abit harmful. I’ve had so many mums recommend love to dream over ergo pouch and I couldn’t agree more. I liked the ergo pouch once she was sleeping without arms wrapped!

[@brookehines4339]

My daughters 2 now but 100% agree on everything, especially the nursing chair. Like that is legit the best thing to invest in as far as newborn life goes. I do have 3 mattress protectors though as I have 2 layered on the bassinet/cot ready to just pull a layer off if it gets spewed or pooed on in the middle of the night. Can't wait for your little bubba to arrive!

[@alisonbaxter4254]

There is something called the ‘mumsie’ (an Aussie owned brand). They are overalls but the bib of the overalls are baby carriers!! Can say this is the BEST invention for wearing your Bub!! Plus they are super cute!!

[@charityrobert5695]

Hi , just watched your video now it was so helpful for me. This is my first pregnant and I'm so confuses what to buy and I don't have any family here with. By the way I live in Dublin Ireland and I'm from Africa, it's really hard for me. Thanks for this video and if have any more tips please let me know thanks.

[@Valeria-jy1ti]

Congratulations! I’m on my 7th week too. First pregnancy . Hello from Pennsylvania 🌸 Stay healthy .

[@SarahDeLaurier]

I recommend as a mom of 2: Get a few sleepers and onesies in newborn size. I’d say 7-10 in each. They will grow out of it in 2-3 weeks! Don’t buy snap sleepers! They are so difficult to put on a screaming newborn 😓 Get a few items for the new size up! Shop at the thrift store to save money especially with baby clothes! Don’t buy any activity anything until baby gets there! Baby will most likely want to be held anyway! Learn what your baby likes before purchasing anything! Prefold cloth diapers are great for spit up! It’s also normal to not leak much. I only leaked for the first 2 weeks with each of my babies. I nursed my first for 3 years and now nursing my 11.5 month old! I never really needed the breast pads but definitely have some on hand the first time!

[@CharlotteSlate]

ahhh i’m so excited to see the new baby, foxy is going to be the best big brother ❤️❤️❤️

[@JaylynnMcNeil]

I’m 5 months 🤰🏾 and definitely taking your advice 🥰🥰I love your videos 💕💕💕💕

[@VeronicaCostaF]

JUST an idea for the lamp: You turn the white metalic part around (180º). Does it fit between the wood handle? It will not rotate and that is why the white paper thingy has an opening on one side so the wood handle can pass "through". Sorry if this didn't help, I'm not good at explaining stuff =D

[@bekahjoy3465]

As a first time mom of an 8mo, 100% agree with everything! Side note: someone find out where Sarah’s dress is from. I’m obsessed 😍

[@susiejcurry]

[@TheHoneyDieu]

[@joeyandpascal1647]

Agree with every point so hard 🤌 Side note, with white noise, you can use a little google speaker (probably the other smart home ones too), you just say “play white noise” and then it gives you full volume control and you can adjust it from your phone 👏 . Also the added benefit of just using it as a speaker for music etc. in the day 🙌

He’s 12 weeks old and literally has always been able to go right back to sleep, all thanks to the Hatch!!!!

[@nahiaarronategui4056]

Hi! I was watching the video and looking at the lamp I realized that you can still fix it. I don't know if you have tried. If you turn the paper over and then push it from the bottom to the top you may be able to fix it.

[@katn9572]

Quick hack regarding cot and bedding; put two layers of sheets on, so mattress protector, sheet then another mattress protector and sheet on top for any middle of the night emergency changes you just whip the the first set off and the bed is ready for baby again. Also Sarah, you’re glowing 🥰

[@jessicachamoun9606]

Sarah with your lamp I'm 90% sure it's just a way they pack the shade to prevent it breaking during delivery. You need to unscrew it off the bulb and pull or push the whole white prong/frame part down. Try it before trying to return it, might save u the stress 😏

[@SarahsDay]

Oh one more thing - If you have another child as well - stock up on a few things you can pull out when you’re feeling torn for giving them attention. A new toy, book, sensory play etc. Having something prepped for the first kid makes it so much easier too!

[@emilykochco]

I think you should look into the hatch it connects to your phone, you can change the color the volume and type of noise it is, plus you can set timers. for quite time etc. plus you can set routines like the timer goes on at 6pm and you can also child lock it so your child cant turn off the noise. they have an adult one too with a alarm clock. 10/10. recommend it

[@aistemacy7125]

[@SMTreffers]

So exciting, I love these videos!! I’m by no means an experienced mum (only have one bub) but a few things I’d add! Kmart and big w have the burp cloths- they’re actually cloth nappies! I always buy 2 packs for new mum friends because they’re the best. As well as just getting 1-2 0000 onesies, it’s sometimes handy to have at least 1 00000 onesie in case bub is prem or just little so you have something to dress them in at the hospital (my bub was huge and straight to 000 😓). The red light in glow dreaming/aroma snoo machines is also supposed to help melatonin production, I used to use the red light for night time changes so she didn’t think it was daytime. And the chair! I have the Il Tutto I love it, it’s the best thing ever but they have one with a wooden handle on the side that sticks out rather than the small plastic black handle that sits flush- I didn’t have a c section but I’ve heard that closing the footrest on recliners is especially more difficult post caesar so one with a handle that you can manually close the footrest with (and it’s not all ab/legs closing it) can be handy! I know some of this stuff might not matter for some but it’s food for thought 🥰 You’re looking so healthy Sez! Good luck with everything! I can’t wait for my second, I miss my small baby haha

[@Erinraewellness]

Most of these were my newborn essentials too! I had no idea how much we’d love a white noise machine until we got tired of saying “shhh” to our crying newborn. 💞💞💞Just a reminder that sleeping in a chair or the couch/lounge while holding baby is not safe sleep. It can cause suffocation or SIDS.

I would highly suggest the fragrance free version of the Weleda cream (if there is any) all natural products doesn’t exists cause everything is chemistry.

Wish you guys all the best ✨👼🏼

can you talk about how it is to have a dog and a newborn? And how do you think its going to be with a newborn, a toddler and a dog. Any thoughts, experiences from last time you want to share? Im so curious

Would LOVE to now get an update on how you went with the new stuff (like the bassinet and glider chair) and whether you’d recommend now you’ve used them for a while!

We use cloth nappies and I use wet bags for dirty clothes but sometimes I use them for all clean items! They are the best

This is my first baby, and I had already watched this video but today this is SOOOO helpful as I'm 33 weeks and I need to define what to actually get for my baby! Thank you so so much!!!

[@nontobekoxulu2185]

I honestly enjoyed this video.. My first is 3 months old now and it's been an absolute pleasure having him in my life.

[@sarahannforrest]

I love all the baby content 🧡👶🏼

[@beckyprice8239]

This was honestly so helpful! Nearly 17 weeks with my first. I swear Australia has the best brands for clothing, baby stuff and homewares! Also, Sarah you look STUNNING! Where is your dress and long necklace from? 😍

Been watching Sarah for years now, love her videos 🥰

I'm a mom of 2! I want to second, third and fourth the small pouch for diaper changing! I don't like using a baby bag either. It just does not work the way that I had expected it to. Using my own bag and having the diaper changing pouch ready to go is everything! My daughter is 1 and I currently have one ready to go in my bag. It's so much more practical for me and has been much easier than a baby bag. (And note, I do cloth diapers & it works just as well for me!!) I also cannot agree enough on NO BUTTONS. Don't put yourself through it. The outfits are not cute enough to put yourself through the trauma of a middle of the night feeding trying to line up buttons. Zippers are the way to go! (: (:

[@SarahsDay]

Yesssss seriously!! It’s just so much more practical and flexible right!??

[@alexandrayearley9460]

@@SarahsDay Yes!! Especially when we go to church. I can easily pull the pouch out of my bag & give it to the childcare staff without having to drop off a bulky diaper bag. So nice!

[@smr0734]

Yes!! Pouch tip is bomb! I do the same and use a cute leather tote from madewell instead of the bulky diaper bags.

[@roachbeth510]

Mom tip for the mattress pads! Totally agree with Sezzy that you should have two. If you really want to level up you can make, what I call, a bed lasagna. You put down mattress pad, sheet, mattress pad, sheet. So if the sheet gets gross in the middle of the night, you just strip off one layer and you have a fresh sheet underneath!

Ear thermometers are not recommended to be used in babies under 6 months. Learnt this in my first aid course this morning. The best ones are the under arm digital thermometers for babies. Bonus. They cost like $7 rather than the $100 digital ear thermometers 🙂

[@SarahsDay]

I literally just read this comment out to my midwife sister and she said “Sarah I literally told you this for Fox” haha wow. Baby brain is real. Thank you for the reminder!

[@amyprice5622]

@@SarahsDay haha sames! I thought the ear ones were fine and was on my list to buy until I did this course this morning and now no need to spend $100! All the best lovely x

Sitting here 3 months pregnant taking notes I love videos like these they are so helpful 🥹❤️

[@CLct-hh5hz]

Hi Sarah where is your dress from ? I’m pregnant and it looks so comfy ! Thx 🥰

[@natashaweir5801]

Loved this video, I am currently pregnant at the moment and found this super helpful so thank you. Quick question Sezzy Love the reclining chair I can see online that the bottom ring comes in black but i noticed your's is white, how did you manage that, was it a special request or they also have the option for white also? ? thanks xxxx

[@rachellange7528]

Lol I used the same portable white noise machine for maybe 6 months? Went through so many batteries and then I realised baby bunting sell the same 4baby brand one in a wall plug version so it was the same ocean noise we’d got used to. Life changing!
