Baby Must-Haves: 4-8 Months Old | Susan Yara

[@pnijjar]

Susan never fails! Her parenting videos save me so much time and are just so practical.

[@user-pd8mi7ng7s]

All you really need is: basket or cardboard box when baby is 0-3 or 4 months can even safely be in bed with you they will need different arrangements as they get bigger, length of cloth to wrap and wear baby (there are videos to teach you), boppy is very versatile, have a high chair then forget special plates the food will end up on you the tray or floor anyway, baby gate, handful of toys that can be chewed on, bibs or rags work to, whatever you have around the house that's safe for baby to mess with get creative, forget the mat use a blanket towel or clean rug, diapering items, car seat, cup with handles, you have a teaspoon then you have a babyspoon, diaper bag can be an old purse or backpack, sleep sacks are very nice but baby blanket works too, 2nd hand store for most of this specially clothing cuz they fly through sizes and when they're little the used clothes are like new. Baby doesn't have to break the bank, and since alot of us have REAL TIGHT incomes you will be surprised by what things you really can get by without and baby don't care if it's new or used. My 1st &2nd kids were babes during the Great Recession all we had for awhile was a laundry basket then later a crib mattress on the floor. Point is use what you have don't worry about getting the newest thing or being made to feel like you HAVE to have everything from the baby section. Love your little ones, make sure they're safe and happy, and you decide what works for you.

I saw those silicone food chewer things while I was adding stuff to my baby shower registry. Now that you explained how to use it, I am going to make sure I get some for my son. I got the rings and the banana chewer from one of my neighbors. I got a good amount of paci clips from my baby shower. I didn't even ask for them but I am so glad someone got me some! Yes! Bandanas are a LIFESAVER! Especially for spit-up! My son spits up a lot and Bandanas help keep his clothes from getting too messy.

[@taborthacker2403]

My baby is now 2 months old. He often spit milk and drools and messes up his clothes. My sister gave me some burp clothes as a gift. Never worry again, lol, I recommend it to you hope it will help you，amzn.to/34eADA2

[@MsMomNerd]

As a mom on her second baby but tons of nursery-high school childcare experience I appreciate seeing mom find things that I could possibly use. I had my daughter 8 years ago and had her use the self feeder with the mesh. I hated it. I’m so glad that you found something better. I just had to pause the video as put the kids me on my registry. Thank you for such a great find

[@mariahphillips6260]

Your videos are extremely resourceful for me. I have a two and a half month old and watching these videos before he gets to this age is preparing me for what we may need. Thanks for the wonderful videos!!!! Also love all the sleep training videos you do.

[@productsreview31]

I didn't see baby head protector in your list. I think it is a must but I'm not sure which one to buy.

[@patrickkudaya4453]

I am a new parent with a 7months old starting to teeth and crawl at the same time, so I would like for you to suggest to me some baby play toys and parenting tips . God bless you for the continuous efforts you put out there for people like us.

[@HulbertfamilyHobbyfarm]

My baby prefers a teething straw to the other teething things you mentioned. she's 5 1/2 months old but also is as tall as a 2 year old (wears 2t due to her height) so baby carriers and high chair you mentioned shes way to big for. i suggest people wait to buy things so you'll know if your baby can even use it.

[@shaemashaikh2254]

please do a video on feeding baby solid food. If you meal prep at home and what you use for prep and storage

[@hales1503]

Coconut oil always worked great for diaper rashes with my son! For the bad ones i’ll put a drop of tea tree oil in it too and it’ll clear right up

[@HeavenSentGrace]

First time mommy over here! I have some of these products, but this was SO HELPFUL for me! ❤️

[@gigiluc1738]

You have great, yet expensive taste. But it’s true you get what you pay for. The nuna is totally worth it. It’s $500 but 5 year old is still using it. She’s very petite so I think She’ll using it until she goes to high school 😝. Great thing is that it’s easier to install and it has great safety standards. 👍🏼

[@christinaduedalulrich5998]

As an occupational therapist working with small children, I CANNOT recommend using a Bumbo seat or any other "seating" devices for children as young as 4-5 month old. You should not put your child in a seat, before they are able themselves to sit up fra a crawling position. That is when their back is strong enough to sit in a chair. This also goes for bounching/jumping chairs.

[@mariaklabukova9209]

Christina Duedal Ulrich Hi Christina, what do you think about baby carries, that look like backpacks? Are they ok for baby’s back?

[@katherineh.9379]

thanks! does that also count for the mamaroo/rockaroo/fisher price electric swings?

[@lovelyspringweather]

I’m an occupational therapist in EI as well and I was going to write the same thing about the bumbo chair. Actually I saw the thumb nail for this video and scrolled down to the comments to see if anyone also disagreed with that suggestion.

[@Calvaire1]

yep. let's keep in mind that most of these youtubers have sponsors who asked them to talk about their products

[@nailakiani]

This happens when people who want to get paid for advertising products do not care about what they are advising

[@camillaadler6521]

Oh my ... how DID babies of the 70's and 80's ever survive without these wonders :P I think it is a good video for those mommies who want to use all of this stuff :)

[@angelfiler]

Can you please make a video about pregnancy skincare routine! Just found out retinol is a no go while pregnant 😭

[@popchinesemusic2023]

Praying that everyone falls asleep quickly and has a peaceful sleep. Hope you all wake up happy and well rested 😘😍😘😍

[@biancahislop3354]

To avoid diaper rashes, dry your baby before closing the diaper and change regularly. Bacteria breeds in moist environments, so the drier you can keep them the better 🥰

[@arlettejasso9107]

I’ve seen so many product must haves for newborns, as a mom of a 4 month old this is so helpful

[@michellewong504]

Would be cool to see an updated one! Love your videos Susan!

[@jessahlee5828]

Hi, I love your video! When and at what age is the high chair needed? Why did you have to get both the multi seat and high chair? Just asking because I’d like to understand the difference between the two before I decide what to buy. Thank you ♥️

[@hyannahmariesardoma8755]

Hey Susan, I like your necklace, where did you buy it?

[@chanaseecunningham398]

Can you use the sleep sack if the baby is already able to crawl?

[@jenniferkim6883]

What is the white thing wrapped on both side of Ergobaby carrier sling? I use the same baby carrier and was looking for something like that. Where did you buy it?

[@dougo753]

Awesome product reviews, this dad sure appreciates all the good ideas!

[@helpgirl5711]

I don’t have a baby, but I’m watching any way :)

[@moderndaymom8649]

Ouuu lord , I’m gonna need all of these 😭 my daughter is 3 months & I’ve been looking to buy her new stuff in preparation for teething and eating! Thank you 💕💕💕💕

[@amynguyen3892]

Hi, how do u clean his face after using the sunscreen?

[@AndreaHernandez-hg7st]

Whats the chair brand name. I wanna get one !

[@rockindbeard]

The Bumbo is being sent back the straps on the side are impossible to get out without having something to pry them out with. I didn’t like the adjustment on the straps either pretty much not functional. Concept is great and has some nice features but all in all it’s going back in the box.

[@honeyyeyes]

great tips! where did you get the cloth for the baby to chew on (that connects to your ergobaby?)

[@jasminehetzel1738]

You have been super helpful!! Thanks for taking the time to share :)

[@emkim4]

What car seat did your little one just hate? I have a 4 month old that just hates car rides but I'm thinking now it might be the seat itself. Thanks

[@Chay-kx9rd]

what pacifier do you use? Looks like its really soft on the video. I hope someone can answer please. Thank you

[@dc1162]

It’s probably either the brand HEVEA or Natursutten

[@mathangi.v]

Unable to find the wooden blocks - can you please share the link ? The link provided doesnt work

[@chayday2006]

I will tell what I know, but I'm no specialist. Just a mom who does a lot of research. For the people who want to know, not to say you shouldn't use something. They say bouncers are bad, my little one loves it. I do know why they are bad so he can't play long but as a parent you are the one who needs to fit the advise for your baby. They say a sponge feeder really isn't good for babies. Especially not when they have teeth. Bibs pinkies and all others that are round are great for the beginning when they don't take the dental ones. But further it's bad for their teeth and their mouth muscles. THE BUMBO IS GREAT! LOVE IT! I've got rhe floor seat and multi seat and I love the multiseat. Also great for feeding before the can sit in a baby feeding chair. You can already let them sit a moment at 3 months in this. For how far I know it isn't bad this early if you use a bumbo. Looked like it also helped my little one learning how to.

[@ysambath1401]

Is there a link for the stuff??

[@ericagnm85]

Thank you for your videos! Unfortunately, the bibs are no longer available on amazon. Can you recommend others you like?

[@josephpagan64]

When my baby drools, I use pure cotton organic bibs burp cloths , Very soft and absorbent, no rash, I recommend it to you, hope it will help you, amzn.to/34eADA2

Nice to know some of the things I got you use too! First time mama for me ☺️

[@suemcfarlane4199]

[@joycekim7092]

Do you have a video on toddler must haves? or 6-12 months?

[@kandstube6475]

What month can they start the sippy cup straw

[@J92013]

That Bumbo has so many cool improved features than the older style! MY sister used a Bumbo with her 3 kids without any issues but after seeing a few comments down below about PT’s discouraging them, I guess I should pass on it. That sucks! I can see the appeal of why you liked it though.

[@tluz7059]

It’s a good product but really isn’t recommended for baby’s younger than around 6months. Babies have to be able to sit up on their own independently before they can be put to sit up on these chairs.

[@aaratisushanth5841]

Mam, please suggest cream for baby body whitening..

[@spencerfranchesca]

Thank you. This video helped me a lot, and saved me money. Thanks again 😁

Hi Susan, what other baby carriers did you try and what did you dislike about them?

[@laurenrosas8316]

That banana teether saved me from a Walmart meltdown with my 7 month old... needless to say I bought it

[@hienienguyen6766]

great tips. i was looking for my baby a booster seat.

[@blackfeather001]

i wouldn't say these are must haves, some of the items are but you don't have to go for these brands, like any brand of the dummy clip, bib, sunscreen, nappy cream, sleeping bag, high chair and carseat will do but i think the rest is all luxury stuff or a case of baby by baby. for example i didn't need the food feeder for my first, but i might for my 2nd because she is teether really badly and wont use teething toys but shes showing interest in food, my first hated the food feeder (we used something different tho as yours isn't available here)

[@tigerdogmom]

if the bumbo can be strapped onto a big chair, would the high chair really be necessary? thoughts?

[@tigerdogmom]

i have a 4month old

[@courtneypurtell2717]

Tina Nguyen it’s up to you but it will hurt your back to bend down to that level so for me a high chair is pretty important as a childcare worker who’s constantly up and down with kids I want to be comfy with my own at home

[@victoriasoto7335]

It always makes me wonder why some people get the priciest baby things when they are only going to need it for a short span of time.... Do babies know the difference? . I think it's just consumerism that has got the best of us .

[@peijinglim9764]

I have a toddler and I have to say most of her products weren’t must-haves for us at 4-8 months. I guess every baby is different!

[@Chloemichelleashby18]

Victoria Soto Agree completely, a lot of the stuff I’ve got for my newborn are second hand and from charity shops ect. You can still get decent stuff for cheaper. Some people spend ridiculous money on nursing chairs and really fancy cot mobiles ect, don’t need half of this stuff.

Many physical therapist advised against the bumbo seat. So I've passed on this product.

[@luceromoreno8288]

Yes, but on the old version that have no seat belts!

[@SusanYara]

This is a different seat.

[@DaniellaDD5]

Occupational therapists use them... As long as the baby is old enough supervised and it's on a flat surface like floor or carpet... Then it's ok Do not leave your child alone it unsupervised

[@birdie8663]

The best seats are the fisher price floor seats or similar flat seats! Do not put a a baby in a seat unless they can sit up on their own.

[@kopiec6565]

@@luceromoreno8288 it's not just a matter of the lack of seat belt, but forcing a baby who doesn't yet have the muscle strength to support their weight into a sitting position is bad for their spine, and also is actually counterproductive to learning to sit, because it locks them in and prevents them from using and developing their muscles the way they would normally do. All healthy babies somehow learn to sit without a bumbo so why do parents feel the need to enhance the natural, tried and tested way they develop? It's the same thing as walkers which are also proven to delay walking in babies. Just allow them to have plenty of supervised tummy time and they will learn to sit when they're ready.
