I do the 7,2r rule for clothes.......one for every single day and 2 for emergency travels or staying out ......it worked with everything and I’m grateful I followed that rule......a real money saver

[@StephanieHajal]

I love that rule😊 That is so smart! I will definitely think about it that way from now on💗

[@LIERREXO]

Even the 2 supplementary ones weren’t used and I gave them as gifts to my cousins at the end of the day but it helped me reduce washing because I knew I would need them so I did laundry often to reduce doing so much laundry at the end of the week

[@SociallyNessa]

I had to refrain from buying so many cute girl outfits when I was pregnant with my daughter because I knew we wouldn’t need a lot and they outgrow them so quickly. Your baby is adorable

[@StephanieHajal]

Thank you very much💗 It’s definitely hard to resist baby clothes! I actually have a new video coming soon about how to save money on baby clothes💵 Thanks, Nessa😊

[@GoViral624]

Im gonna be a mom for the first time after two misscarriages this July with a Baby Girl🥰🤩 and this was really a great video i needed a video like this Love you So Much💞💞💞💞💞💞💞Please Pray for me🤍

[@StephanieHajal]

Congratulations! That is such wonderful news💕 I’d always suggest to start with just a few clothes and grow your wardrobe as needed. I’m so excited for you to meet your baby😊

[@GoViral624]

@@StephanieHajal Thank you so much🥰❤❤So blessed to meet people like you with such a great heart in this poor world🤩

[@kaveshnee1]

Really helpful, first video that showed what you bought vs what you used vs what you used in a week, gives you a different perspective when buying.

[@StephanieHajal]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad it was helpful!! It really goes to show you don’t need that many clothes in the beginning😊

[@aliceng439]

Just important to remember if your baby does explosive poops or has reflux it's good to have those spare items :)

[@StephanieHajal]

Soo true! That is a great reminder😊👍🏼

[@MelanieCamille]

Thank you for this video! I have so few clothes for my future baby, but I feel like it's enough. However when I see other peoples' videos I start to second guess if we have enough! But I feel much better about what we have now :)

[@StephanieHajal]

First off, CONGRATS💕 That's very exciting! I'm so glad you found this video helpful! I know it can be easy to go overboard while nesting (been there, done that lol), but you really don't need that much to take care of a baby in the beginning. Our daughter is 9 months now, and she still lives in her sleep n' plays! We rotate through the same 6 jammies every week. I will make sure to check out your channel too xo😊

[@sundaykuol2285]

Thank you so much for this video 🥺❤️❤️. I’m a new mommy and I’m due in December and I was overwhelmed on how much baby clothes I need lol.

[@StephanieHajal]

Of course!! Congrats on your new babe coming soon. I’m so glad it was a helpful video. I know that overwhelmed feeling when you are expecting your little one. Let me know if you have any other questions here or on IG!!😊💕

[@julia738]

I am right there right now!!! Due in April and trying to figure out what I will really need 😅

[@amandalynn55]

Ok GENIUS idea to look at your laundry basket! Thank you for sharing!

[@StephanieHajal]

Aww thanks! I was really surprised by how little we actually needed for the newborn stage. Thanks for watching, Amanda Lynn!🤍

[@ThanhPham-ic8bw]

thanks for the video. it really put a stop to my baby clothes shopping. he is not out yet and i already have way to many for the next 6 months 😅

[@StephanieHajal]

No worries! I know what you mean baby clothes are so stinkin’ cute🙈 I found that we started needing more clothes around 6-9 months & 9-12 once my daughter started eating solids/becoming more active. Congrats, mama🩷

[@neverdixs]

thank you for your video we are so lost with those thing with y wife that this really helps i hope your baby is growing healthy and strong

[@StephanieHajal]

Hi, Nicolás! A big congratulations to you both, but I do understand how overwhelming & confusing this time can be while pregnant with baby. There are so many unknowns. I'm glad you found this video helpful though!😊 I think you'll find my baby registry video really helpful too: bit.ly/3urHEM8 I also have an essentials for 0-3 month baby & how to give a newborn baby a bath video coming out next month.

[@erinakriel2598]

Thank you, this was the first usefull prep video I have watched since becomming pregnant. I had the feeling newborns dont need much, but then after watching some "pintrest" moms getting ready, I get overwhelmed and start panic buying.

[@StephanieHajal]

Hi, Erina! It warms my heart that this was a helpful video for you😊 I totally relate to being overwhelmed/stressed about all the baby stuff I thought I needed for a newborn while pregnant. Let me know if you have any other baby prep questions that I could help with. Hope you are having a great day!🤍

[@Travelwithamberrae]

Great tip! I agree completely, they grow so fast. We try and give bigger sizes for baby showers.

[@StephanieHajal]

Thank you for watching😊 That’s such a great idea to gift bigger sizes! Love it💗

[@noonlove]

I don't have any babies yet, but this video was very informative. Will definitely help me in the future as I tend to buy more than I need, lol. You're daughter is precious 🥰

[@StephanieHajal]

Thank you for watching😊 and thank you💗 Our little Gigi is 5 months this week👶🏼

[@ashleynoble2880]

My mom told me to not register for any clothes because people like buying that stuff. Also I'm like the last in my friend group to have kids so that's a plus

[@elainezhu7780]

It would be helpful to share how you used those few items in a typical day and how often do you do laundry

[@StephanieHajal]

Hey, Elaine! I would love to make a video like that😊 I remember doing laundry 1x per week when Gigi was younger. I started doing laundry 2x a week as she became more mobile (~15 months). I also wash my clothes with my daughter’s in the same load of laundry for double duty & I definitely rewear the same outfits to cut down on laundry🧺

[@elainezhu7780]

@@StephanieHajal Thank you for sharing this Stephanie!! And for how long were you able to live with those few clothing in the video? coz I was told that babies grow super fast, so not sure if you had those for different sizes as well?

[@StephanieHajal]

@@elainezhu7780 This worked well for us until she was around 4/5 months! We mostly started out with 0-3 month clothes (instead of newborn) as well. I like to follow the 7x2 rule = 7 outfits for each day of the week plus 2 outfits for accidents. I have a couple of capsule wardrobe videos on my channel that might be helpful too✨

[@hodakay8245]

Your baby is so sweet!! Mine went thru more but they also ended up with acid reflux so basically threw up all day on themselves and on me 😔 its hard to really know but best to be prepared!

[@alessandrasmota]

Hi!! Do you recommend this amount on the newborn size or just 0-3 month size? (based on Carter's sizing)

[@StephanieHajal]

Hey, Alessandra! We mostly used 0-3 month sizes when our daughter was born. We had about 5 newborn size onesies, but she quickly outgrew them within the first 3-4 weeks. Hope that helps! Totally recommend Carter’s clothes😊💕

Which one recommend brand Carter or gerber?

Thanks for the video, where did you get her pillow she was laying on?

[@StephanieHajal]

Hi, Taylor! Thanks so much for watching😊 It's the Boppy newborn lounger pillow which has been recalled for safety issues in 2021. Instead, I would recommend something like the Snuggle Me, DockATot, or a similar version like this one on Amazon (*affiliate link) amzn.to/3M0M5EY. Hope that helps💗

[@snowangels3082]

I was worried I didn’t have enough because I’m tend to be a minimalist for financial reasons, but turns out I have the perfect amount, no need to stress over not having the “right” amount!

[@StephanieHajal]

It’s good to start off simple! I remember being so stressed about getting everything “right” before baby’s arrival (...the hormones probably😆). I realized babies really don’t need much in the beginning! Food, clean diapers, & lots of love💗

[@TamKaTVFamily]

oh, a lots of clothes. I'm a mum of 4 kids. I understand this. Full watched and supported. Thanks my friend

I Didn't buy any newborn size clothes cause some of the clothes seems so small in 0-3 months. Should i buy anything in newborn size? Or 0-3 months will fit anyway?

[@StephanieHajal]

I felt the same way - so tiny! I had about 5 newborn onesies and a newborn “coming home” outfit, but my daughter mostly wore 0-3 month clothing from the day she was born. They were a little big for the first month, but definitely got more wear out of them as she grew! I’d mostly go with 0-3 month clothing. Hope that helps✨

1 bath a week? :/

[@StephanieHajal]

Hey, Laure! I know it probably sounds crazy, right?🙊 I was surprised to learn that newborns do not need as frequent bathing as adults because it can disrupt their skin's protective barrier that works to fight infection. We did a lot of spot cleaning though (face/neck) for milk dribble inbetween baths. This article really helped me as a first time mom🛁 www.healthline.com/health/baby/how-often-should-you-bathe-a-newborn#1-3-months
