10 Parenting Hacks for NEW MOMS: Everything I Wish I Knew Before Getting Pregnant!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Thank you again Happ Brand for sponsoring this video and letting me talk about my absolute favourite diaper bag the HAPP BRAND Levy Backpack in Dusty Rose! 👛

When trying to motivate my toddler to get into the car seat, get dressed, leave the house I use the "can you get your shoes on before me?" As a race or "can you climb in the car seat before I say Abracadabra 5 times?". Toddlers don't have a grasp on time or the need to hurry. Giving them something more concrete most often helps her understand the sense of urgency and she is less distracted by other things.

Such a fun idea! Will be trying this out once little is older 😁

I take my 17 month old to the playground every single day. He has so much fun he meets other neighborhood kids and it helps me not feel so bad about putting him in front of the tv while I prep dinner. I used to meal prep purées but now that he’s older I stopped. So I loved your tip about continuing to prep and freeze ready made food even for a toddler.

[@simplysherissa]

That is so true about distractions. My little girl loves playing with the light switch and cracks up with the thermostat. We don’t know why but it’s so funny to watch. And seeing herself in the mirror after some big feelings really works well too and she perks up right away. She even tries to give the mirror kisses, it’s so adorable. I also can’t agree more about a bin of goodies. We learned early on this trick with our now 8 month old. I always love these videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

haha we all have our tips and tricks in order to get things done in those very distracted moments 😉

[@NikkiScatch84]

You’re so educational about this topic. I’m gonna refer the to be moms I know to watch your videos!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Thank you so much 🥰 and thank you for the support

[@sophiabultena6781]

36 weeks and 2 days today and I'm sooooo glad I found your channel at about 18 weeks! I've watched them all 😅

[@renaijoy5205]

Ooooh, congrats, all the vest for the delivery! 🥰 Mine is 5.5 months... WOW DOES THE TIME FLY!! Take lots of videos 💓👶

[@renaijoy5205]

Best too 😅

[@loopy18lau]

We have nappy bags in the uk for dirty nappies instead of having to use dog poo bags. They are often scented too!

[@N.M.N.]

We can get them here too but dog bags are cheaper and you get way more

[@Pixief13]

I'm currently 23 weeks so find these videos very interesting thank you! The intro 😂

[@jurisdaughter2009]

Sage is so pretty with her red haircolor 🥰🥰🥰. I really love that. Greetings from Germany.

[@Thefunfamily_3582]

I wish you were around when I had my little one. I would have used every single one of your tips.

[@KateLisgar]

I love that the HN lip butter made it into the 'bin of goodies' - I also have a bin for diaper changes and the lip butter has always been popular for my babe too!

[@jessicablandd]

My 9 month old loves kiss me more by Doja Cat. She can be crying and as soon as I put it on she stops. Mainly use it in the car or at the end of a walk like you said. I played it all the time when I was pregnant. It has worked every time for 7-8 months it’s crazy

[@mintcandy331]

Thank you for sharing! Moms supporting moms is awesome! ❤

[@anmandy1359]

Your videos are so helpful, I even recommended your channel to my baby's Pediatrician to share with other new mommies.

[@heathertimmons6104]

I’m not a mom but I love watching your videos! You are a great role model for healthy living and such a stupidly awesome mom. That diaper bag i would love as just a big purse.. I’m basically a big baby anyways so it fits. It’s just such a beautiful bag I may have to get it..

[@vgbeauty8432]

I just love all your videos, there is always such awesome tips and info! You are such an inspiration

[@Theherbalempress]

Thanks for the tips! My little bean is almost 5 months now so I will definitely take note of these 📝

[@lexschumacher4118]

I love your meal prep guides for the week. What are your thoughts on doing one for babies? Sometimes I have a hard time thinking up stuff for my little one to eat thruout the week!

[@mooleesakow]

What diapers and wipes do you like for sage? And does her pink plate suction well to the Tripp trapp tray?? I can’t find anything that will stick well!

[@emilymunday6212]

She is so cute! Full of life ❤️

[@PaigeNahanni]

Most definitely best life hack is the doggy poop bags, we always have those on hand ! Life saver haha

[@susanw7818]

Sage is so cute! I love that diaper bag!

[@ZKK275]

Can you link the play activity set you have in the back?

[@jessicahergert8513]

Hi there LOVE this video! So helpful! Where did you get that fidget toy?

[@joseeloiselle9885]

Where is that fidget toy from? The one she was playing with in the car? :)

[@marwamerhoum3598]

So so interesting thank u dear

[@BenSamulak]

[@rebeccaware5111]

So helpful! Thank you xxx

[@fashion609]

Looking forward to the restock of pit refresh. Every time I check it’s sold out

[@negarpirooz1143]

I love your necklace. Where is it from

[@angelicaswaim5003]

Hi there! Love your channel! I’ve learned so much from you as we have our own 7 month old. Your videos are very helpful! Quick question - What musical toy did you show in the car? Our little guy loves musical toys so I am curious which one you had for travel. Thanks!

[@lauramcrae7837]

giving our baby an electric toothbrush turned on (but not one we actually use) during diaper changes works great for us!

[@livingpositivelytoday]

Oh this was done so well Nikole.

[@ashleydefrain7839]

Diaper changes are way harder than they need to be! Lol I remember when my son was around that age he used to try to roll around to get out of diaper changes, it was so frustrating lol

[@ftmbytalita]

As soon as my son turned 9 months, diaper changes completely changed. Toys are definitely a must!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Us mamas have to get creative over here 😅

[@emilyr6316]

Do you have links to those car toys? They looked neat!

[@santasreemajumder1648]

Hi Nikole, loved the video. I have been using the same freezer storage silicone containers but every time I freeze cooked chicken or fish portions….I am unable to get rid of the smell off these by following the cleaning instructions. Could you kindly tell me know how to clean these so they don’t retain the odors? Thank you 😊

[@PoppinHoops]

Baking soda is amazing to get rid of smells !

[@Giovi111]

If they are pure silicone you can put them in the oven at around 250 degrees F for 30ish minutes. A smell will come out of the oven for a bit then goes away. We do this with our silicone ice trays. It’s an old kitchen trick.

[@abbymetz2993]

What do you use the arnica gel for?

[@maylinrebollar8643]

What stroller is that love ?

[@Meg-eq2md]

Would also be love know!

[@lilymcmanaway]

It’s the Bugaboo Fox2 Complete Aluminum & Grey Melange :)

@@lilymcmanaway Oh fab thanks! I´ve even been looking at that one :D

[@vivalajovy]

I don’t even have a baby but I really enjoyed watching this video!

[@RaquelLeao]

Great video. I have a 9 mnd baby girl and you have helped oss a lot over here with your videos. How old is Sage? Hugs from Norway

[@olyas6163]

I really wanna get this diaper bag because I'm about to have 2 under 2 😳 they're both girls so I think the pink bag would be so perfect! Do you have a coupon or any discount? I would love to order but can't justify the price 😅

[@udeshikasiriwardhana25]

good job ❤️❤️

[@katharinavisintainer5543]

where did you buy the top from the intro?

[@AminaAli-uq9yo]

Thank you Nikole for all those amazing tips ❤️

[@cjgamer830]

Haha The Intro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@moonrain85]

Watching her go right for the lip balm 😂

[@Nayero26]

I'm from the Caribbean babies moving around when you change them is not a thing. I never get why kids overseas do that. We literally don't have that issue. You say stay softly and firmly and they stay it's not difficult at all

[@stephiecakes3023]

This is interesting. What do you think is different? I need the advice for coming babe!

[@monikakamila]

I go on walks every day and I go on super long walks

[@triciac6531]

lol are you up to the part where they take off their diapers at night but also refuse to use a potty?

[@sharonyang8822]

Only clicked this because I thought she was holding a bag of weed

[@moon.c]

Do you have advice on getting my 1 year old to ear more solids? I’ll show him new things and he’ll move my hand away. He’s still mainly on purées . Please help 🥲
