As far as zippered sleepers..Target Cloud Island brand are amazing! They zip up from the bottom, which is great for diaper changing. They are also soft and stretchy and super comfy! The best part is the price. You can buy a three pack for $12.99. They have become my favorite clothes for my 4 month old.

I love love love this video. Hands down the best video I’ve come across so far. Seriously cannot express how much I appreciated this video. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed because I am expecting for the first time and the videos/lists I’ve come across would list a bunch of stuff as necessities that in fact are not actually a “necessity” but more of a convenience I guess you could say so I really just needed a clear cut “what you actually need” and I really feel like you captured that and this has eased my pregnancy nerves so much. Thank you! A million times thank you!

for our twins we had a swing, bouncer, rock and play and pack and play and used every single one of them because each of my boys had different preferences. I had to keep people from getting us two of each though because I definitely didn't have room in my house for all of that. We'll see if the next baby needs all those or not. It definitely varies per baby.

This video made me feel really happy because lately I've been feeling like because I don't have a lot of money, I'm not giving my kids "the best." So many of my friends are buying their babies super expensive gear and excessive amounts of things, and I just can't afford it! I like living my life minimally, but I've just had guilty surrounding that choice (that is partly because I don't HAVE another choice). I feel like we have a good Graco carseat and the basics you've mentioned and our babies will be so happy because of our love, not a $300 swing.

Great advice. It can be so easy to buy a lot of clothes but they change size so often. In saying that I love all the cute baby clothes. I've only fostered older children but I always buy baby clothes for my sisters and friends babies but I buy double OO (3 to 6months size) because most people get new born and the mum ends up with a whole lot of newborn size and time goes fast and all of a sudden baby grows out of everything.

Standards are different depending on the country... some countries do extra tests and have higher standards = lower infant mortality rate in car accidents. Look at northern European countries for reference. Children should be rear facing until 4 years old as well... Also car seats have an expiry date because materials deteriorate, which means that gifting old car seats and accepting hand me downs isn't the best idea.

Definitely do what works for you. We have decided to live a more low-waste life and we have seven children ages five and under; two singletones, triplets and twins. We have never owned a swing, a playpen, a bouncer, we have never used a bottle nor pacifiers. In my opinion, for my own experience, my NB essentials would be: Breastmilk, cloth diapers and cloth wipes, a Wrap (for babywearing), a car seat, 5-7 “full outfits”, 2-3 thin blankets/swaddles (we also love Copper Pearl!) and one thinker blanket, maybe two if it’s winter. Everything else is just extra IMO. Also, love the car seat comment at the end! Sometimes we get so caught up on trends and looks; these big brands want your money, so they are going to make you feel like you HAVE TO spend all this money to be a good parent, which is totally false.

I love loved wearing my baby girl in a wrap. You don’t see it a lot here in Australia, I had a lot of people comment both positive and negative. The most common comments were “Does your baby really like that?” (Said with disbelief) and “Oh my God, can the baby breath?” I’d reply “she’s snuggled against her mama fast asleep, she’s as happy as can be” and “yes she can breathe just fine”. My paediatrician loved that I wore her, he said it’s great for their hips. Can’t wait to meet your little one xx🇦🇺
