Beautiful!!! What did you find you needed after a baby? Anything that helped?

[@ladystef5055]

@@serenag5982 start with the basics, diapers, wipes, onesies, sleepers and few sets of clothing, a few blankets, burp cloths and build out from there once you find an actual need. I used a baby swing consistently to soothe the baby while making dinner, now they have baby seats that rock your baby. I found that type of thing helpful. You don’t have to have everything at once. And you don’t need all the stuff on the lists you see when pregnant. They just want your money. 🤣🤣🤣

Being 54, it’s soooo foreign to see how kids are raised today, and how things are done. Everything Drs. Told us years ago, they say the opposite now. Lol I say as a mom do what’s best for you and your child. It’s so fun to see the clothes, and how excited you are. Praying you have a healthy and quick delivery.

Usually around 2 1/2 they start gravitating towards sleeping with a favorite older sibling. But there are nights when only mom and dad’s bed will do!! My oldest was probably about 3 when she slept in her own bed but in the same room as mom and dad. Eventually they all leave the nest, so I say enjoy the snuggles while you can!

When you mentioned the 4moms baby swing, I remembered having something similar next to me in the kitchen when I was cooking or washing dishes with my fourth. It worked well, especially with the kitchen fan making noise- babies like the noise. Plus I could see him and make sure older siblings were no touching! It doesn't always work when the baby wants to be held- but it does work over 50 percent of the time :)

I highly recommend looking into "baby booties" instead of socks! I get mine on Amazon for very little. They stay on, even in several sizes too big because they are secured with velcro. They are also perfect to layer over socks when you're going out in the serious cold. They were such a life changer for me!

[@leem200]

I just love how you put practical together and make it be luxurious. I love the natural and comfortable not over done look. I add a nice pram jacket outfit for the car or out side if it snows there. Forget what its called. Also a hat for when out in the car. Praying for you hope all is easy and I can not wait to see what you have. I do hope it is a girl. Had four boys, adopted one and adopted a girl. I carried all mine around and had them sleep with me until about six mths in a cradle by the bed. I did not know about wraps when mine were little. My first was born when they did not have car seats for safety like now. We had a portable fold out bed we strapped in back with seat belts and then a boaster seat which was made for the kid to see out the window with a small stirring wheel you could attach.

With my others, until they were bigger and they wouldn't fall off as easy. Its like haveng my first all over again!!

Hi Lisa, I am 57 and my baby days are obviously over. This post made me teary eyed (bittersweet). I love how you are sharing the simplicity of 'baby gear'. Your approach is so healthy and helps with stress. I am taking 'notes' for my daughter in law because she is always looking to me for advice and this was wonderful. Thank you

[@MoonFlower52798]

Hi, Lisa! Just wanted you to know that I find your videos so inspiring and wholesome! My child-bearing days have long since passed, with my youngest being 28 years old lol but I'm definitely enjoying the grandchildren now. I do wear out very quickly, but looking back to my younger days, right after my last of 3 sons was born, I felt pressured to get my tubes tied, and so just 10 weeks after he was born, I went through with it (I was only 25 at the time!) and much to my dismay about 5 years later when we were in a much better place, I felt the desire to have another baby....but obviously could not..... I totally went through a grieving process because of this hasty decision I made while still 2 months post partum...😢 😢😢 I totally admire your strength and determination to just be who you are and not let "society" dictate or pressure you to quit having children. I was young and naive, obviously, and just wanted to please others...😢 Looking back, I'd never make such an important decision while still under such hormonal changes. And, I tell every woman I can, to not let others pressure you into getting your tubes tied....that's NONE of their business!

I just had my 6th in July. My baby item list was pretty identical to this! I would add in a nose frida and the 'love to dream' sleep sacks have been a wonderful alternative to swaddling! The can still find their hands have those natural reflexes. I lean toward the bare minimum and you can always make a target run or Amazon order for something if you decide you need it after baby is here.

[@sharonjackson9994]

I told my girls when they wrre having their kids that a newborn baby can sleep in a drawer as well as a crib. As long as they are loved, fed, cared for thats what is importa. No need for fancy gadgets etc. They will only be babies for so long. Enjoy them!

[@emilys3638]

Maybe someone already mentioned this, but as a nanny for 9 years, my favorite baby-sock trick is to put them on up over the pants cuff! Just a few inches over the edge of the bottoms of the pants legs seems to hold them on those slippery feet much longer (as in, longer than 30 seconds, lol)! And some socks are so cute, you actually might WANT the entire things to show and not get covered up by their pants. So hopefully this helps you and perhaps some others as well! I know it could be considered dorky, but it certainly is the most practical way to put socks on babies! 😆

[@shirleycirio6897]

It is so beautiful that your baby will be a "wardrobe mainstay" for the first 6 months. "Down is not really an option with 6 siblings." ;-} It is precisely parents like you who should have many children. Now, that the heat of summer has past and farm chores are less (hopefully), is a perfect time for a newborn. Many blessings and thank you for sharing.

Extreme self care & slow down just a little. I know that’s hard to do. 🥰💕💐🍀

Hi Lisa! I really enjoy these videos that involve the planning for babies. I remember with your last baby, your midwife didn't want you coming up and down the stairs. Are you planning to move your bedroom downstairs where the dining room is before the baby arrives? It might make things easy for you. I'm a pretty restless mommy and get easily itching to start getting about after my baby was born. But having my baby in the same floor made things much more simple to rest and get about. Would also be nice to see your set up in your bedroom for the managing and care of your newborn. Also, looking forward in the future to seeing a victorian farmhouse nursery tour. Thanks for sharing!🤗

[@MaineGirlOutdoors]

So exciting!!!! When my 3rd was born ( the first girl) she slept in a large laundry basket next to my side of the bed for the first 4 months when she wasn't in bed nursing. We had a double bed, with a box spring on the floor so not much room for baby in bed with me And hubby safely. For our two boys we had borrowed a little wooden crib for the bedside and gave it back because we thought we weren't having anymore kiddos lol. She was a surprise! I fit a firm piece of foam in the bottom of the basket from the craft store and it worked perfectly. Babies don't have to be super expensive. I cannot believe the prices on some of the baby beds that they only fit in for 6 months!😳

Velcro or snap booties! I just got a cream pair from burts bees for my baby girl (also due end of October). A) they actually stay on B) they look like shoes if you want to go out C) you only need one pair per size because baby feet don't sweat. It is my only clothing purchase because I have a boy and a girl-- we also like to keep it super minimal. We only use sleepers for NB size-- which our babies have grown out of in 2-3 weeks. My all time favorite baby item is a kimono style snap up gown from Parade Organics via Amazon in size 3-6 mo which is lasted us from around 2 mo to 9 mo and was so cozy and easy to take on and off. It comes in lots of gorgeous gender neutral colors. Mine is a muted peach color which makes that sweet baby skin look even more soft and glowy. I'm also looking into getting a second solly because I've used mine so much and I want to be able to wash it more often this time around!

I commend you for co-sleeping with your babies. I know it's controversial, but I did it with both my kids and I do not regret it at all. They are teenagers now and I am so thankful I made those memories with them. My inlaws were so nasty to me about it, telling me how "spoiled" my kids were going to be and criticizing me for being "way too soft." I have to say, I have the sweetest teenagers now and both I and my husband are very close with them. Cosleeping definitely doesn't spoil your children at all. From my 16 years of being a mom, through much trial and error, I've learned (and continue to learn) that what kids need most is love, understanding, and guidance. All the best with your labour and delivery!! =)

I know not all kids sleep through the night early on but I can take any help I can get! My son is a year and is getting better at naps but it does not sleep through the night

[@ninakoshman5571]

My babies started sleeping through the night at the end of 2 years old. I was breastfeeding, and then bottles of milk at night. Just be patient with your baby and try to make up the missed sleep if possible during daytime naps. Maybe with baby, if it’s an only child. My oldest is 7 and it went by so fast looking back!!

[@berrypatch5583]

I have never heard not to swaddle, and would love to hear the science or reason behind that. Most of my babies were not swaddled much because I was young and didn't know it was a thing beyond the first week or so😁, but I have my last little one because she instantly calmed if we did. I mean wailing...wrap her and instantly she stops...I wonder if she has a bit of too much sensory in her day or something. She is the baby of 8. Congratulations on your new sweet little one! I pray for health and hoping for a girl as bows are fun!

Swaddling is very comforting for baby as they just spent nine months cosy in a very tight noisy space.

[@LauraGardnerYoga]

What I’ve heard is it’s comforting for them to feel snug and secure but new research has shown it can negatively affect the development of their hips (something about their arms being down not being their natural position as well) so just make sure you don’t swaddle too tight. I’m not an expert though, I swaddled my first and have just heard about being careful with it now I’m pregnant with my second.

[@berrypatch5583]

@@LauraGardnerYoga I always swaddle with her arms bent up at the elbow as that is her comfort position. I have been doing it less and less during the day though as she has seemed content more and more without doing so now that she is 3 months.

I have heard similarity about hip development. I was also told not to swaddle once they can roll over. My son rolled over when only a couple hours old so we never did it.

I'm due in a few days with #4 and am so happy that we're due around the same time- I have been loving following along with what you're doing and it's been inspirational to me! God bless😊

Oooh thanks for posting this. Love these babies outfits. I always wanna do this color scheme but the dang yellow baby poop!!! Lol

Can you do a video on postpartum and your body if you are comfortable. I don’t have any kids but I’ve talked to a few moms who are struggling with pelvic floor issues and a few other things. Thank you love your videos!

Each his own…lol. I love color and patterns. I do love cozy and soft.

It’s called a ring sling lol. It’s my favorite for newborns especially when I’m out running errands because it’s easy on and off. I get overheated easily when I am postpartum so wearing stretchy wraps the whole day isn’t much of an option and tiring one of those in the parking lot is annoying. I hope you love you ring sling! I also love onbuhimos when they are big enough to go on your back because it doesn’t have a buckle.

I’m so happy and excited for your family! I wish I had this information when I had my first baby 18 yrs ago! So simple and so nurturing! Of course baby should be on mama most of the time. 😊

This video gave me baby fever! I have 2 and just waiting around for God to give us #3!! ❤️👶🏻

Love baby wearing! I've loved the boba wrap, ring sling, ergo baby classic, and a lillebaby toddler carrier. My 3 year old still asks to go on my back.

I love all the neutrals and we’ve used the mamaroo swing with all our babies it’s by far one of my best purchases along with the snuggle me.

Cant wait to hear this birth story💜💜💜

I love sleepers for fall and winter newborns. I also love cloth diapers with Thirstiest 2 size system being my favorite. I softy blanket for over the carseat is great for fall babies. New tennis shoes for daily fall walks.

Wool booties with Velcro closure. Great cozy alternative to socks and stay put better.

Girl,,,,,all three of my babies (all boys) slept with me or in my room until they were at least 18 months or so. I love attachment parenting. That was my style.
