NEWBORN BABY ESSENTIALS | Must haves for a newborn UK 2021 | Diary Of A Dun

[@clairewoodfin3336]

I'm 21 weeks along and just loved this video. Probably the most of all the newborn essentials videos that I've watched. You really explained how the product is used, and I'm so overwhelmed by the idea of becoming a mom that your explanations helped me understand a little more of what I'm getting myself into. Also, your pleasant disposition made the video helped calm my anxieties a bit :) Finally, I'm an American expat living in Eastern Europe and all the baby essentials videos from American moms are so incredibly brand-focused (e.g., "I wouldn't have survived without this specific brand of xyz"). I don't have access to a lot of brands here so I appreciate that you recommended some useful ones but didn't make it sound like life or death haha. Thank you for the video!

Thank you so much for posting this! I had a baby 2 years ago and I’ve forgotten everything I loved already🤣! I’m going to make a note of these ready for my second baby in February 😍

[@MestizoJez]

Awesome vid, being a first time dad I wanted to ensure I helped as much as poss with the essentials planning... this vid was spot on, thank you!

[@DiaryofaDun]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NicoleRhiann7]

I found your vid randomly and then noticed you had an Isle of Wight necklace on. I’m from the island and can’t believe how random I just come across your video. Found this really helpful I’m due in May and am worried about what essentials I will need! X

[@DiaryofaDun]

Ahh that's awesome! Its such a small world! congratulations :) xx

[@charlotteinnocent8752]

Thank you for a lovely practical video. I have older children but the youngest of those is 12, and honestly ALL the products have basically changed! Everything I am seeing is more or less new to me with a very few exceptions and I needed a PRACTICAL, sensible review or five!

[@DiaryofaDun]

Glad it was helpful!

[@laurencooper6023]

My first baby is due in July, this video was so helpful! thankyou :)

[@InfinitelyASMR]

Thank you much for this! Do you have a link to the plastic lined sheets? Don’t seem to be able to find them on Amazon

[@jennyandrews1159]

Just added ewan and the night light to my amazon basket ! Thank you

[@lilmissshakz]

Such an informative video!! It's very overwhelming knowing what to get and what night work for my first born but this video was so helpful! 👌

[@rachelleonard2139]

Where did you get the cot bumper in the background🥰

[@elise.mcculloch]

Awww loving your vibe girl!!! 9 weeks ago, wow you look amazing and her name is beaut!!

[@DiaryofaDun]

Thank you so much!!

[@MissDukes]

Loved this. So helpful now I’m looking for items for my newborn

[@DiaryofaDun]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rosie-maerebornmummy3147]

Forehead thermometer 🌡 are really good.Get the gum toys that you put in freezer

[@DiaryofaDun]

Ahh perfect thank you!

[@youwish2005]

Ugh on the changing table. I was sure I wanted one with my first daughter, but every one was like "noooo, you don't need one. Just change her on the bed, in the crib on the floor, etc...." I just got sawed open to have this beautiful child....I don't want to bend over to change her. It hurts. Anyway, I was convinced that I didn't need one. While we made due for a while, I ended up getting a changing pad and putting it atop our dresser. I'm 100% getting a changing table though with this next baby. They're not necessary for some people, but they are for me.

[@emilywhitaker9381]

really loved this video! 38 weeks pregnant now and watched so many of these. where’s your cot mobile from? xx

[@DiaryofaDun]

Ahh congratulations!!! It’s from mommas and papas :) x

[@wanderinghollss3387]

Just so you know cot mobiles aren't recommended for safe sleep by the lullaby trust and NHS xxx

[@jymf_02]

Where is the chest of drawers from? That is exactly what I want to do but struggling to find one the right size with decent storage!

[@sadetashi]

Loved your video 😄thank you for sharing

[@oliviamcfadden8751]

First time mum to be here, thank you so much for this informative video! You’re doing amazing mama 😊🤍

[@DiaryofaDun]

[@rickyjes]

Nice one. Muslin and cheap?. I am.looking at wrong place. I am finding 3 squares for £7. Any recommendations?

[@DiaryofaDun]

I got a lot of mine from ASDA, Tescos etc in baby events. Also amazon and pat pat :)

[@ranjeetacharlotte]

Loved this. Please can you link the bibs as well. Thanks

[@OriginalSimz]

Very informative thank you!!

[@rusticcheese712]

Hi 🙋‍♀️ really like the vid. Elvie catch is amazing 🤩

[@DiaryofaDun]

It really is!

[@rusticcheese712]

How do you sterilise dummy thermometer 🌡? Thanks

[@DiaryofaDun]

We don't we just give it a wipe with antibac wipes :)

[@shalibakes8440]

Heya all, I keep reading everywhere that cot bumpers and blankets in a cot are a big no no for breathing.? Xx

[@chloewadsworth1131]

Yeah cot bumpers are a big no no! You can see that they are deemed unsafe on the lullaby trust’ website. It’s always best going over there to see what is and isn’t safe as it’s nhs approved x

[@DiaryofaDun]

Yep cot bumpers are a big no. We have one in our cot purely for show 😂 the minute Caleah starts sleeping in there everything will be out :) like Chloe said definitely have a good look at safe sleep and what is recommended x

[@Annagracie24]

Hey! Thank you this is so helpful! I've got myself the elvie catch - do you recommend having the hakka suction pump as well?

[@DiaryofaDun]

100% I loooove the Hakka! I use it all the time, if im feeding from one side or pumping I will almost always have that on the other :)

What baby carrier did you decide to use in the end? There's so many choices and I'm torn as to which one to go for!

[@DiaryofaDun]

I have the baby Bjorn one! I got it second hand and its been a godsend!

[@gracex592]

[@DiaryofaDun]
