[@hannahbradshaw2186]

Do I have a baby. No. Am I still watching because I love Lily’s content. You bet! 😂

[@anastasiazafeiropoulou5471]

Hahahah me too!

[@nashie1990]

Same!

[@lilypebbles]

Love you guys lol xx

[@Birdieinthecity]

Same 😂😂

[@sylvialuisa]

Yup 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@natatatt]

The "B list" (future needs) concept seems like a smart idea. I haven't had kids yet but I can imagine you'd be so exhausted the first few months of baby's life, so to have already done that research for high chairs etc before the birth when you're less sleep deprived and have more time for research seems smart.

[@lilypebbles]

Thanks. It really worked for us x

[@LostFirstNature]

Would love more baby content, sleep training, routines, lessons learned kind of thing. I know it's hard to put yourself out there as people are so judgey but would be great to get practical tips based on your experience. New mum to a 6 week old here!

[@ashearing14]

Lily... this was SO helpful, even though my baby is now 8 months but really broke it down so well for new mamma's. Why aren't you making more baby videos. You're so practical about it! Should be more videos like this that are sensible!

[@franug]

Yes! I'm 31 wks pregnant and appreciate how practical Lily is, we think so alike I believe. My list is similar to her. I agree she doesn't need to be scared of baby content bc she has a great perspective which is great for FTM

[@jessicahawley5239]

Just as a comment as a paediatric doctor - we would normally recommend under arm thermometers - especially in young babies. Forehead/ear thermometers mostly under estimate temperatures - especially ear ones as they generally wont be put in far enough. An under arm thermometer is generally the best to get a good accurate temperature in

[@AlixLeFay]

I don't have a baby and i don't plan on ever being a mum, yet here I am watching the whole video and nodding along with interest 😆

[@georgia8891]

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and watched this video from start to finish! I've tried so much not to get sucked into unnecessary purchases and have ended up buying some things second hand so I can save money for my maternity leave. It's reassuring to know what not to waste money on!

[@hasretb4586]

Overwhelming? I wish it was longer! Very informative! Thank you x

[@claudiaosoriolopez6164]

Single, not planning to have kids ever; still watching lol

[@nenacecilia]

Who am I? I don’t have children, am not planning to. But I’m still watching this video, just because I like Lily’s content so much lately. 😅🥰

[@lydiagriffiths8172]

Thank you! This along with your first trimester are the best things I’ve ever watched as a preggo lady. Thank you for your honesty and practicality. X

[@SallyBoebally]

Loved this Lily! Love that you’re uploading earlier on a Sunday, love that I feel totally prepped for when it comes time to make these purchases 👏🏼🥳 thank you

[@MrsBillWeasley]

I can’t explain how much I appreciate this video! Love that it’s got every little tidbit I want to know about. Thanks Lily. Looking conceive next year and already am obsessed with baby content.

[@inesvidaldossantos]

I’m pregnant for my second baby and was counting the day for this video. The pdf will be so helpful to help me remind me what I’ve got to organize. Thanks Lily!

[@brennalakey9190]

I’m 17 weeks and have been looking for a video exactly like this from someone I trust 😭 thank you!!

[@laurajay8311]

Thank you, very useful video! I’m 35 weeks and content like this is so helpful and reassuring to watch during a pandemic pregnancy when feeling so isolated 💗

[@onlymy1904]

Thank you! Having my first baby this spring 🙏 Loooooved your first trimester videos. They helped me so so much when everything felt darkest and neverending.

[@heiditaylor8372]

Love these recommendations, I’m 6 days over due with my third! And have lots of the A list products ready to go. We plan to do the nursery in the summer, took me three babies to realise you don’t have to have it all set up straight away! Xx

[@TheInAnimated]

Dear Lily, I have been a Montessori nanny for 9 years and now expecting my first baby. I have loads of experience but when it comes to buying your own stuff can be overwhelming. I absolutely loved your video. Your approach is practical and clever and I am totally on the same page as you. I think the pdf is SUPER handy and I’m going to use it. Such good advice you gave and I love your style of parenting- very honest and very hands on. I loved when you said you give Grey cold milk. I remember when I first started nannying and I always warmed up their milk. Of course they love it and it’s a nice thing to do specially on a cold day; but really, they don’t mind the cold milk at all and like you said works best if you are out and about and can’t always do it. Grey is a lucky girl to have such great parents. Thank you. Sending love to your family.

[@AnnasStyleDictionary]

To anyone reading this, I hope you’re feeling well and having a lovely day! Stay safe and remember to keep smiling in these weird times, sending lots of love from a small KZbinr❤️ ❤️

[@samanthawatkins1787]

Love this, thank you! I am pregnant and due in July. There is so much information out there, but it's nice to get advice from someone who's not selling something!

[@fazeela7184]

i got so emotional when you said "you can do this" and im not even having a child anytime soon i think i just needed to hear that🥺

[@susie4287]

I am so excited you have done this video!!! In my 2nd trimester and have been feeling so overwhelmed by all the things you can get!!! Thanks Lily 🥰

[@sobzk1]

This was the most helpful video ever! Thank you so much. I'm 30 weeks currently, and haven't done any shopping as it's all online and so overwhelming so this is so helpful.

[@jenlambie14]

I'm a grandmother and loved this video. I think we can all appreciate how much work goes into them and how much new, or soon to be new, Mums would love you sharing your first hand experience!

[@charlottewhite123]

Thank you so much for this! Approaching the 20 week scan and the sheer amount of info / opinions is wild! So reassuring to know I’m on the right approach. Trust the instincts! Xx

[@egrahame1]

Loved this Lily - currently 36 weeks pregnant and I found your suggestions very pragmatic and practical! It is such a minefield out there so great to put together a sensible list x

[@breedavis1275]

Lily, I’m pregnant with my 6th baby and I have to say, you nailed this video. Wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. Love your mum content, you have such a beautiful way with Grey, it’s lovely to watch. The A & B lists are such a great idea. Wish I had this 7 years ago with our first.

[@AndyWandyDotCom]

Thank you so much, Lily! This was hugely helpful. I’m due in six weeks and have been wondering what I truly need and what I can wait for. And what are just unnecessary, gimmicky things (there are so many out there). The timing of this is impeccable, I feel so much more prepared and ready now. ❤️🙏🏻

[@eggyolk22]

Im due in May, Lily, and this is godsent. Due to in person shopping restrictions, its been so hard to decide what to get for my first born. Im very lost. This helped so much. THANK YOU!

[@alexaschubert8277]

So glad you made this video, 26 weeks along and finding this content so helpful! Thanks for putting yourself out there Lily! The mum world can be daunting online (as I’m quickly finding out)

[@caitlinmccoll2354]

Lily! I have watched soooo many of these (due with my first in July) and this is the BEST newborn essentials video I’ve seen. Thank you so much!

[@lydiaboyle6681]

Such a useful video!! Loved it!! Thanks for all the work you put in to it. I’ve definitely added things to my list and taken some things off so thank you 😊

[@tracybagnall936]

Brilliant video, loving the honesty. I’m due in 8 weeks and am pleased after watching this that I seem to have taken a similar approach to you in terms of getting the essentials upfront then waiting to get the rest until we see what kind of baby we have. Really useful to those of us going through this at the moment, especially first time mums- there isn’t the same opportunity to talk to friends and family about all this sort of stuff, in fact I don’t know about anyone else but you can feel quite invisible as everyone is affected by this crisis so your life changing time is easily overlooked by others which is quite sad. So thank you for remembering about all us pregnant ladies and putting this together, I’m sure it will help lots of us 😊

[@JadeGiggles]

Thanks Lily, my first baby is due in May and I found this so useful. It’s so hard to find a decent one of these videos from someone UK-based. I’ve been following you since the beginning and so pleased you’re now making this type of content. Please make more!! X

[@smileyhappyjo18]

Hi Lily, just want to say I found this video really helpful. I’m due in June with my first and am a massive list maker so already have the majority of these things noted down but in a very chaotic way. Really appreciated the different sections and the idea of a and b list making it a little less daunting. Definitely made me rethink a few things, so thank you for this video :) Jo x

[@lisalovesmarco]

Thank you so much for this video lily. ❤️ My little one is due in April and this was so helpful as it's my first baby! I also rewatched all your pregnancy videos as soon as I found out I was pregnant back in the summer.

[@beckyh4712]

Lily thank you SO much for making this video and PDF. You have no idea how much this has helped me as a first time mum (due summer) It has really put me at ease, I was so overwhelmed before xxxx

[@leemcauley6519]

I’ve had my babies but enjoyed watching this. I remember researching every single thing to the max!! This is super, we’ll organized. Well done on putting this out there despite every mother thinking their choices are the only way 😍

[@celineleclercq11]

Thank you so much for this Lily! I’ll be coming back to this video in the near future :)

[@daniellejones9971]

Thank you! As someone who is ttc their first baby, this video was really helpful ☺️ will definitely download the pdf for the future 🤞x

[@stephanieallen8372]

Thank you SO much Lily. This list is epic. I'm 23 weeks and hardly bought anything yet (mostly due to feeling very overwhelmed). This has seriously helped me see some clarity on what my husband and I might actually need 😊

[@isobelfulton7180]

Thank you so much for this video. I saved your newborn essentials PDF back when you first made it, and I'm now due to have my first baby in July so this update is perfect timing!!

[@sarahhuen3108]

The most helpful video I've watched and I've watched a LOT of newborn essentials videos. Thank you!

[@siskykeane009]

Your A list and B list idea is BRILLIANT!

[@irishbogger20]

Great video and you can tell the amount of prep work went in to it! Such a valuable resource ☺️

[@rebeccabroughton5877]

Lily that was great loved the A&B lists and it’s definitely given me food for thought in my current list 😘

[@laurafindlay4977]

Absolutely loved this! Due in July and every time I’ve looked online I’ve felt so overwhelmed! ☺️

[@shootingxstarxxx]

Loved this, thank you! I’m due in 3 weeks so although we’ve bought all our A list stuff it was handy to hear your B list recommendations.

[@emos513]

Thank you, a very helpful video. Finally someone I could listen to start to finish. Informative, not overwhelming, decent and realistic. Happy to have found your channel 🥰

[@sophhowells2639]

I am not currently pregnant, nor do I have any children yet, but I found this video so interesting and helpful. I will definitely be revisiting in the future when i do need it. I loved the “no nonsense” approach. I think I have a very similar attitude but like Lily can be easily pressured/panicked by others. Love that I can print out the pdf and just tick things off as and when. So so great!!

[@ellaoakes5236]

This was a great video! Found very useful and honest, a few things I hadn’t even thought about. Thank you for the good advice! 😊🍼

[@cherdavis7752]

Lily thank you so much for this! I’m 13 weeks pregnant and I’m already feeling so overwhelmed with what to buy so this was unbelievably helpful! 😊

[@carlyberridge5375]

33 Weeks pregnant and this was a great video, not over whelming at all and helped streamline if anything! Thank you!

[@tewtoe9116]

You’re so relatable. 8 weeks and so happy I’ve found you. It can be very lonely.

[@Rose-ub1cg]

Having baby no. 3 and still found this so helpful and reminded me of all the items you don't need hut Instagram/social media makes you think you do! Thanks Lily x

[@kayseemiller7964]

Amazing video Lily! Thanks so much, there were quite a few things that I’d forgotten about

[@linaleys7612]

Thank you so SOO much for this video Lily

[@mariaskoozynska3486]

Ok. This is hands down the best list I've found on the internet for new parents. Thanks so much.

[@Lillibethi]

Perfect Video! Thanks for the input, it‘s really helpful! I‘m due in the middle of march with my first one 🥰

[@kirstenwebster6728]

Very helpful! Thank you. My first is due in June. We've just started "feathering our nest". There's so much our there and it can feel like you need all of it, especially when it's your first time. Thank you for this very straightforward list and for giving reasons for and against certain products. Great!

[@cleansetsandbaguettes5236]

Just found out I’m pregnant and I came directly to your channel, Lily! I found this extensive list EXTREMELY helpful, thank you

[@teodorad8320]

This is so helpful! I'm 4 months pregnant with my first baby and your video is exactly what I needed! Thanks Lily Xx

[@soniaalam6278]

Thanks so much for all of this Lily - our first is coming in July and the info from this video is invaluable especially as I'm not that researchy myself. Thanks for doing all the hard work for us! x

[@TimiSterr]

So helpful! I'm due in a few weeks, and it was still helpful. I didn't buy many things, and it seems like my A list is basically the same as yours. Even the B list in my head is quite the same! But it was good to hear that I don't need all that stuff right away, so I feel a lot calmer 😌

[@natashaamoretti4349]

Thank you Lily, this was really helpful and exactly what I was looking for. Much love Xx

[@shivikaa]

Thank you for this! As a to-be first time mom, this is so so so helpful. I also love how I feel like I can trust you and your reviews in this day and age of influencer driven marketing.

[@lorrainemunro3741]

Love watching your videos, so much thought and effort into the content

[@angemarietaillandier2268]

Oh my god! This video is incredible! Thank you so so so much for all this incredible thorough information! I learnt so many things that I never thought I needed or didn’t need! I got pregnant last year, and was frantically looking at information online, that video would have helped me so much! Unfortunately I lost the baby. I am better now and we are trying again. Already saved your PDF checklist! Thank you so much! Please always share your knowledge as a first time mom that is truly precious!

[@simplybornathome]

You gave such great advice about how much newborns want to be held and more of the practical parts of child rearing in the beginning than most people do in these long blogs I’m so grateful that you’re giving new mom’s practical advice and not all the fluff. As a midwife I often find that people are over prepare for the 3 to 10 month part but under prepared for newborn.

[@harrietverity3981]

I’m due next week and this video has confirmed a lot of my purchases so thank you 😆💙

[@hollyhayden5033]

This is so helpful! Thank you! I'm 16 weeks and haven't started any shopping yet, hoping that one day I might get a chance to actually go out and wander round some shops. The A and B list will be really handy 🙌

[@charlotteroseclay]

So excited for this, perfect timing!!

[@stephaniedeans6643]

Love this content and how it is organized! So helpful!

[@aneeqaarshid889]

Thank you very much! Out of all the videos I watched this was comprehensive and easy to understand. PDF is very helpful also!

[@2prawn]

Great video. I've a 10 week old and this is very similar to how I planned things. Very sensible and helpful!

[@katherinehurt]

I don't have a baby and am not planning to any time soon, but I'm such a Type A/lover of any type of lists that this content is SO satisfying to watch!

[@27yioda]

BRILLIANT LIST! Wish I had this list before I had my baby. Well done Lily ❤️

[@maidacrazy21ryan93]

Lily well done on this video god knows how much time and effort you put into this wish I had seen advice like this before I bought so many expensive items that never got used mother to be will find this so helpful think you thought of everything and I agree with everything you said .stay safe stay beautiful ❤️

[@johku7638]

Thank you for your videos! I just found out I'm pregnant and your content is calming my anxiety so much! ❤️

[@madisonrose3368]

This is a great video! I especially love the last points! Xx

[@ashleyfrayser240]

This was so helpful and gave me so many good things to think about!!!

[@simonebridgewater1695]

Thank you lily this was super helpful and a pdf is such a brilliant idea. I'm 21 weeks now and I haven't brought a thing because I have no idea where to start and there is so much to get it's overwhelming. Thank you for this. ❤️

[@madisonwallace4429]

Knew this video would come in useful in the not too distant future! Such a comprehensive video, thank you! 20 week scan on Monday ❤️

[@G5Snyder]

I really loved this video, and I want to congratulate you because it was really thoughtful, complete, well organized and felt truly sincere. I am like you, so I am so thrilled to this kind of videos. I do not have kids yet, bust this video in in my "pregnancy" list already. Also, I have share this wonderful piece of work with one of my friends who is expecting. Thank you Lily!!!

[@86WildRoses]

This video for me was a Godsend. And I am not exaggerating. I am 1st time mom.. a really panicked 1st time mom.. this showed me that my judgement is right and put some light and clarity into what I need to be purchasing to make sure I have the essentials for when the baby arrives. Thank you again for taking the time..

[@RachelJoyInMySkin]

so so helpful and i’m watching years later! i’m 32 weeks and getting overwhelmed with what to buy, what not. this was soooo good and i feel less overwhelmed. ♥️

[@ashleyboudville7086]

Thanks - this is so helpful as a starting point as newborn baby shopping can feel overwhelming! X

[@sd1618]

So helpful! Having my first baby in April and this was really useful :)

[@LittleBoxOfBeauty]

I'm currently 35 weeks and this was super helpful! I am a super organised person and did make myself a spreadsheet but this was great 🥰

[@ArnaAlayneMorton]

I know these sorts of niche videos may not garner a heap of views straight away, but I can’t thank you enough for making it!! I’m sure this will help so many people :) Saving to watch later playlist to refer to in future when we start thinking about kids!!

[@emmaroutledge1885]

Wow! This is SO helpful!! First time mum here, 21 weeks pregnant and mind being blown just searching for car seats let alone everything else! This is so great, I love how honest it is.. I’m excited to start my purchases now. Thank you Lily! xxx

[@emmaroutledge1885]

P.s.. please do more baby content.. it’s really good!!! xxx

[@biancaboshoff]

I’m pregnant with my first, so excited to see your recommendations, have tried some in the past and they’ve always been great! Excited to watch!

[@lilanieg8822]

Thank you for your honest and practical video. Very helpful for a first time Mom here in the UK.

[@kpop3959]

Just wanted to say you’ve made my life so much easier with your checklist, as a pregnant lady. Thank you!!!!!

[@indiespence8538]

Love this! I have a daughter similar age to Grey, but I know this would have been so handy if I watched this video when I was in the early stage of pregnancy. Loving the baby content!

[@jenparis869]

34 weeks pregnant with my first, this video is super helpful! Thanks Lily!! Xx

[@geojames1861]

I've been waiting for this! Due in May and i completely agree that the most interesting advice I can collect from mums is all the crap they didn't need! I feel so bombarded by ads right now for all the things I doubt I'll actually use but it's hard to know!

[@sallywinston1204]

Super useful! I am pregnant with no2 but 7 years after no1 so definitely needed a reminder ❤️

[@HannahJohannah]

PERFECT TIMING❤️❤️ just Turned 15 weeks nyself and in the hunt For these kind of video’s. Love your content Lilly 🌞🌞 xx from the Netherlands
