Newborn Essentials 2022 | AFFORDABLE must-haves I use DAILY for Baby #2!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Remember, all babies are different and what worked for me may not work for you! BUT hopefully this video can help some of you out there, love yall!

[@nikkinikole7610]

I’ve always used the MAM paci’s too and they do have prettier ones now lol they are just solid colors. I saw some at target and on Amazon👍🏽

[@meaghanchasse3845]

I love the oogiebear booger picker way more than the nose frida. My daughter always had dried boogers rather than snot.

[@xtherodriguez892]

A newborn must have for me was my bek&jet changing mat! I found i just used it more to change diapers on the bed, floor, couch, etc. I loved the size & material of this changing mat vs. the other ones (thicker & larger, but also easy to fold down to pack away!)

[@maheavelasquez2489]

Something we did with our daughter when she was a newborn is, we used a bassinet and put a rolled up towel on both sides of the bassinet and then put a blanked over the towels. It helped her sleep and she would wake up like twice during the night Also instead of using a baby tub. We just put enough water in the bath to cover the bottom and laid her in it. She also did great and loves water!

[@keepingupwiththegrossfam]

Currently pregnant with my first and this video was so helpful!

[@SarahFurrow-2007]

ELVIE CATCH and ELVIE CURVE! Game changer… when I would feed on one side, the other side would obviously leak a decent amount. These were so easy to use, to wash, portable! So good!

[@nsmith0110]

Angel care bath seat is a god send, we love it SO much. When my son was a newborn we could just put it over the bathroom sink and pour water on him, and as he got older we just moved it into the tub for bath time. Also the haakaa 360 toothbrush. 🙌🏻 my son is 11 months and STILL chews on that thing. It’s really easy for him to get it back there to his molars which he is cutting now.

[@Ebruz2]

My 1 month old loves the MAM pacifiers, I think they have like a 95% success rate with babies!

[@cassieleefryeklund5623]

Our must have is the glass nail file for her fingers. They come in a 3 pack on Amazon and are way better than the nail scissors or normal nails file

[@theayalas4390]

A cart for a changing station/after bath time musts. Also, I bought my first pair of AirPods when my baby was a newborn. It made nursing in the middle of the night 100x more bearable.

[@amandalapanda394]

I’m 3 months away from having my first baby and Aria’s smile is making me want to cry she’s so beautiful 😭 😍

[@daryacherkasov1070]

Bibs have a very cute and aesthetically pleasing dupe pacifier to the mams one! Super cute colors!!

[@ChristinaColgan]

My IKEA Cart held anything important and wheeled it around the house. Love it

[@Hannahfarrior]

Nothing better than watching Nicole and folding laundry while the kids sleep !! 😘 The nose frida wasn’t good for everyday use but for really stopped up noses I like it. They also have an electric one

[@supitsmelissaa]

I’m about to have my first baby in a month and this is so helpful. Thank you so much ! Love your videos ❤️

[@Nicolelelagreen]

You are so welcome!

[@amandaforrest9142]

aw congrats

[@hannahtindall8169]

We have a Hatch for our kiddo and have since she was born. But we bought that same portable sound machine for on the go. Rarely used it for her, but we use it for us! 😂 It’s now our sound machine in our room.

[@luckyahmed200]

I appreciate the different recommendations!

[@goingcrazyoveru1]

Bibs pacifier have a collection that’s comparable to mam, it’s the bibs supreme pacifier. My daughter use to use the bibs original bulb pacifier until her pediatric dentist advised me against them. They can cause a high pallet 😔. My baby girl thankfully was able to transition to their supreme edition and now she uses the mam glow in the dark 16+ months ones even though she’s 14 months. With bibs you have to replace the pacifier every 4 weeks, even the silicone versions so it was getting quiet expensive. I still replace her pacifier every 4 weeks but they are so much more affordable

[@sandrastaygold39991]

The nose Frida concept had me feeling ew that’s weird when I first found out about it like everyone else said so many good things about it so I had to get it when my daughter had some congestion man I love it!! It’s my favorite little tool to use. Works like a charm in my experience.

[@karisamorin2433]

My son also only wanted the mam pacifiers. I hated the characters on them. I'm due next month with a baby girl and while looking for new pacifiers for her, I found that mam has a matte collection that doesn't have any characters on them or crazy colors. Still not quite as cute as some (the Bibs or Friggs) but they're much nicer looking than the ones I had for my son!

[@dvo1060]

Something I consider an essential that nobody mentions is a mini bedside fridge for Hakka milk. I do not have the energy to go downstairs in the middle of the night to put it in the actual fridge. Also a manual HAND pump. I get more milk out with it vs with the electric and in a way shorter amount of time

[@stephtube820]

Interesting! I remember dreading going downstairs to put my milk in fridge!! Currently pregnant with second and I really like this idea!! Is it cold enough like a standard fridge?

[@daisyc6134]

I have the yoga sleep pocket baby soother. I absolutely love that it's rechargeable and helps my baby sleep longer. It's definitely a necessity for us! I highly recommend it!

[@savannahventura2088]

I got the Kiinde twist bags and the adapter for my pump thanks to your recommendation and it's definitely a game changer! Now I'm not so stressed when pumping at work about cleaning pump parts. I also gave in and got the nestedbean swaddle and used your discount code so hopefully it works for my LO 🤞 love your videos! ❤️

[@lisa-c2228]

On summer, I think V-Fyee mosquito net cover for stroller also is an baby essentials. It can keep bugs flyings out of your baby when you can take your baby outdoor walking. recommended!

[@aleesapage7687]

I actually love the nose frida, especially now that I have two older boys (4 & 6) who can’t seem to blow their own noses. I have been using it since they were little. Great when they have a cold and a ton of mucus

[@laroselcouth8522]

I loved your video, thanks! I have seen a couple of these things but I appreciate seeing some new options. Especially the booger sucker... I will try that!

[@ashleyrauch4500]

Mam makes "matte" pacis. Which are not glow in the dark and also dont have goofy designs! And they are sooooo cutee!

[@ElizabethGarcia-ww4ob]

Yes! These are the only pacifiers my newborn likes and I was so happy when I found the "aesthetically pleasing" matte ones

[@Abcdefghijajajaja]

Ridiculous

[@letitiad8440]

Great video! I am a FTM, due on 1st December, so I have been binge-watching videos like this to give me ideas. I really enjoyed your video and subbed to your channel!

[@cassieleefryeklund5623]

Yes. Caroline only took the Mam binki too. She actually likes the ones for the older babies since she has been 6wks old.

[@ryanking6881]

My best friend used something similar to the nose Frida and she loved it. Others do think it's gross but the filter helps. Her daughter always had teething colds so she was constantly having a stuffy nose so that was just quicker to get the snot out than the bulbs in her opinion.

[@tiniewhales7237]

The thing we found to late with our first that I loved was pea pods they are just a zip up swaddle. We are expecting our 2nd and I have every intention of using them this time

[@rdavist51]

Thank you! That nose frida thing is gaaaaross!

[@Ragingbull123]

My nose sucking journey is same as yours . Hate the frida one don’t like hospital one , I got the clear thing too and LOVE IT

[@elenageorgieva192]

Lovely dear thanks a lot for your haaka recommendation I love it too 😊 we have a baby from 2 weeks and with my first pregnancy I don't know this haaka was so hard for breastfeeding but no its so easy 😊 Thanks, have a good day 😘

[@lucybarrington4634]

The merino wool breast pads are wonderful but just a warning. Some people are allergic lanolin and don’t know it until they use a product with lanolin in it and develop dermatitis. Hand creams, lip balm etc... Lanolin soap on already sensitive perhaps broken skin nipples could be bad. 😬

[@MSchmidtK]

Wish I could get the nestedbean offer here in Scandinavia. An essential for me though was the Najell sleep carrier - it’s a baby nest, bassinet, baby carrier and playmat in one. A little pricy but bought secondhand, cause no baby can wear it out in the time they use it. Also our Ergobaby Omni 360 carrier was a life safer for every regression or whatever we call it, couples with a Pilates ball that I would gently bounce on - great through my pregnancy, with my newborn and I could probably have used it to get some exercise as well 🙈😅 absolutely agree with the glow in the dark pacifiers! Essential here for sure! Waiting for second baby to arrive this summer and so glad to follow you to sort of get ready again 😁 Thank you for sharing, being relatable and honest! God bless you.

[@kdreamzherself]

bottle warmers are a must and wipe warmer also

[@dianepinto4671]

Mam pacifiers have a “matte” line that are nice neutral colours without the cartoons. I have a little 6 week old & she will only use mam just like her big sister.

[@simplyrachealk9412]

Watching from Africa (ugandan)🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 I love your content.

[@kaylaburch21]

Currently pregnant with my 2nd!!! This video is so helpful

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jm2807]

Great tips, thank you. Especially the Haakka comparison. I got the ladybug thinking it does the same thing, good to know will buy the Hakka also before this baby arrive.

[@_m.platero]

AMEN to the aesthetic pacifier! 😂 I tried and tried but like you said the nipple is too BIG. My son gags all the time so I finally gave up with the aesthetic 🥲 thank you for the booger sucker recommendation! Definitely getting that one bc YES the nose frida is WEIRD. Especially when they move their head SO MUCH 🥲

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Apparently some kiddos love it! haha maybe they have bigger mouths?! And glad I'm not the only one who thinks nose frida is weird! LOL

[@catieanderson6419]

Yessssss my babies JUST take the MAM pacis

[@jennyeng1229]

I used the Nose Frida for a bit but now we use an electric nasal aspirator. Game changer! We have the GROWNSY one and they sell on Amazon.

[@KrystenStrunck]

Im adding that nose sucker to my registry ASAP for baby #2 ive been wondering about the kiinde system. Great video. 😊

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Oh awesome!! So glad it was helpful!

[@1acyjayn3]

I recently got this too! It’s fantastic!

[@dolphynlvr4]

I added it to mine as well!

[@CassBlast5]

THANK YOU for the nose sucker recommendation. Everyone loves the Frida but the idea grosses me out so much!

[@emusic3195]

I love the nose frida and bibs pacifiers. Everybody’s different on what they like though.

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Yes totally! Glad they worked out for you though

[@nicolerodriguez8502]

I’m pregnant and I added the Kiinde to my registry but wasn’t sure if it was good and you answered it for me! This video HELPED so much especially me being a first time mom! Thanks ❤️ I always love watching your videos!!!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BethSchaeffer17]

Thank you for this video and going over the Kiinde system! My second daughter is 1 month old and this is as far as I've gotten with breastfeeding, so I'm looking for the best ways to go about traveling and using breastmilk with caretakers when I'm back to work.

[@maheavelasquez2489]

We used these pacifier that you put water in and you freeze them. They saved us when she was teething or acting like she was. . They are amazon

[@Eliza-r4u]

Aww!!! 🤍❤️ that's the nicest thing! 😻😅!! I adore you! God bless you! 🙂☺️☺️☺️💛

[@vanessak.2353]

Do you have a bottle warmer also? That Kiinde looks cool, but I was something that can warmer a bottle also.

[@jessicaerickson8813]

That mam binky is the ONLY one my son will use.

[@withkatiemccomb]

Hey! I've only just stumbled across this video and just wondering are the Kiinde twist bags reusable? Or do you need to use a new bag each time? Thanks for the video it's been super helpful! x

[@maheavelasquez2489]

The otteroo is also really cool! My baby was able to swim in a pool and bath with it on! :) The nose Frida is weird....

[@michloren]

It’s not super unique, but Tubby Todd all over ointment and Baby Dove body wash has been a staple for me since my son was a newborn. As a new mom I had no idea which baby products would be best for his skin since every child is different. As much as I loved the smell of the OG “baby” scented products, my son didn’t react well to them. After switching to Tubby Todd and Baby Dove his eczema is doing sooo much better.

[@lindaduong699]

Hi Nicole, what is the name of the crib you have in the back? Can it be a bedside crib?

[@ultipop19]

Please do a video about baby bottles!!

[@camilleschumacher2066]

I heard about the kiinde from you when Jace was a newborn and I used your code to get a free starter kit and 40 bags which I appreciated so much, thank you! I really enjoyed the kiinde system UNTIL it came time to reorder more bags! They are so expensive! I couldn't afford them and had to switch to a cheaper regular milk storage bag from Walmart and poured my milk into glass bottles. I was so bummed because my husband and I both really enjoyed the function of the Kiinde

[@blakejordan3742]

I thought The storage bags are $15.99 for a 40 pack? Did they go up??

[@Faithlovehope1]

Hi Nicole I am a Christian mom trying to start a gardening channel. Can you share how you film and edit. How you learned ? Softwares or classes.. camera and lighting ? ❤️love you! ❤️🙏

[@AloraLacen]

Where did you get the rail guard thing (I can’t think of the name 😂 the white thing) around the rails of Aria’s babybay?? Do they sell it on their website?

[@blakejordan3742]

I literally was going to ask the same question! I’m TERRIFIED of the “toddler fracture” and my crib is from ikea so the spindles are thin and my little moves a lot and sometimes sticks her leg out of them

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Hey ladies! Just added it to the description: rstyle.me/+V9QDvgKWFH2OzGbJ3t5OVA

[@chantel2692]

Do you guys have the Nestig crib? I'm curious how you like it and if so where you found the side that is lowered?

[@beautybyshelby21]

my regret with the cute bibs pacifier was the cost! my daughter took that pacifier which i was happy about at first until i had to buy more lol. $10 a pacifier isnt worth the look in my opinion. i have baby #2 on the way and i am going to not even offer the bibs pacifier as an option because i am sick of paying so much just for pacifiers!

[@soniapineiro9930]

Where did you get your bassinet from?

[@Ragingbull123]

I thought that it would be the same too & was confused when I bought it

[@Nicolelelagreen]

YUP feel you on that!

[@gwendolyncarpio2226]

Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@t_jbjorkfam813]

Great video!!

[@dvo1060]

Bibs actually came out with a new design pacifier that looks exactly like the MAM but in cute colors I TOTALLY agree with you on the nose frida. So pointless. I prefer the bulb suckers. The nose frida is such a complicated process and you need a second person to hold babies hands down when using jt

[@ritah_ndlovu]

She's so cute

[@stephtube820]

Hi friends. Wondering what registry other expecting moms are going to use?

[@Abcdefghijajajaja]

Babylist or Amazon

[@kaylaburch21]

My daughter loved the mam pacis it’s the only one she would take😅

[@mahraqubaisi2034]

I wish I had this video before I gave birth with my son 😭😭 he’s already 6 months

[@shadymisss7354]

My newborn only takes bibs pacifiers , she cant keep the mams in haha all babies are different right 😊

[@durboc]

Hi again! I bought the BabyBay and love it BUT I noticed the mattress is 2 inches thick when US safety guidelines state that a bassinet mattress should be no thicker than 1.5 inches. Do you know anything about this? Thank you!

[@durboc]

Hi Nicole, do you think the BabyBay is not safe without mesh liner? Thanks!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

I wouldn't think so, liners of the crib help babies not get their limbs stuck so as long as it's breathable i think it ok. But do your own research and talk to your pediatrician of course!

[@durboc]

@@Nicolelelagreen Thank you!

[@joy6784]

What’s a kikaroo how do you spell it

[@dolphynlvr4]

I had a couple different pacifiers ready to try with my son and he ended up liking the bibs ones the most. He couldn’t keep the mam ones in his mouth because the nipple was so flat. All babies are different!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

For real they are all so different in there preferences! Just grateful mine actually took one because otherwise it would be much harder to soothe!

[@SmolAliens]

The newly updated safe sleep guidelines do specify that weighted swaddles are not safe :(

[@rebeccalynn3986]

I love using your nested bean code. Thank you!

[@Nicolelelagreen]

You are so welcome!

[@XamanthaRose]

You really can’t get the level of suction with a those bulb syringes. Trust me I tried. The nose frida really is superior. We even tried the electric ones and nothing has compared. 🥴

[@cynthiac4387]

I also bought my Mamaroo second hand and my baby hates it. Good thing I went for second hand

[@Nicolelelagreen]

YES SMART! Exactly my point!

[@nicekittys]

My son LOVES that exact paci lol

[@tinbernas5947]

We've recently launched a book business called Personalised Children's Books, they are personalised learning books and we have FREE downloadable materials for your kids! I'll be happy to send it xx

[@kailynngrad3027]

Hatch baby sound machine

[@malaikahilson]

Pregnant with twins your videos make me feel like everything will be ok lol

[@Abcdefghijajajaja]

Everything will be, you’re literally pregnant a huge blessing

[@Martin-cd5dd]

What a good video you know I love babies my great desire in this life is to be a father although the only thing is that I would not like to have to change diapers ha but well hopefully one day I can be a father

[@mommyjaslynn]

I don't even have a newborn but I'm here for it

[@jonesernee]

Do you wash the nested bean?

[@Abcdefghijajajaja]

???

[@Abcdefghijajajaja]

Odd

[@kelliekitson1815]

Yeah sadly babies aren't newborns anymore after 2 months. Still call mine one though, at almost 3 months

[@kelliekitson1815]

You can Google it most sources say 1 to 2 months actually I haven't seen any that say 3 months and I read a few

[@Ragingbull123]

Lady bug replaces a breast pad to save the milk and haaka pulls the let down while breast feeding

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Yes, well said. I probably should have stated it simply like that LOL

[@rahbid121]

Pacifiers are a No No! Although it can be very helpful, it definitely causes speech delay, couple of my nieces have speech delays because pf pacifiers. health visitor advised my sister to refrain from using them.

[@alairvega7684]

What works for one person doesn’t have to work for you :) clearly pacifiers work for her & her kids and that’s great :)

[@kaylaburch21]

My daughter used pacifiers from the time she was a newborn to 8 months. She started talking at 6 months she’s 13 months now and can say mama, mommy, dada, daddy, that, this, and done done🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ileaneledezma7888]

I’ve actually heard that pacifiers before 6mo could be linked to a decreased risk of SIDS :)

[@TheKarakik]

How long did the use it?? They can reduce SIDS in infants but after 9-10 months it usually time to wean before they get emotional attachment and then it's more difficult to remove. Also only in the crib if using longer. Obviously if a two year old has it all day everyday it can be a speech problem

[@brittanypepper1292]

rah bid curious if your conclusion is coming from one data resource such as your nieces are from the same family. If so your conclusion is coming from a limited data set and further research should be carried out before coming to such a concrete conclusion and sharing with others. There may be other factors causing their speech delay.

[@stevenmercado5205]

🇷🇴🇷🇴💙❤💛

[@sj0223]

What a bizarre world we live in where "aesthetic pictures of your baby" are an actual thing we're worried about. Like I may have one or two outfits for pictures for each milestone. Like are you guys just constantly filming your kids where the pacifier they use matters for photos? Like could you not just give them the cute one, snap the desired pic, then give them the one they love? Especially if you already bought the aesthetic ones? I mean no offense. At all. Just seems super dystopian and strange that I can't find a single video like this that doesn't talk about "aesthetics", sponsored products or fad products, or things like that. Like get that bag girl, I wanna support that 100% but it makes it hard when everyone is sponsored by something different so I barely know what's an ad, what's a trend, and what's like legit experienced mom advice! I've watched so many of these now because I'm scared and lost but I always end up more confused almost. Thank you for the information. I mean you may not even read this and I don't want it to seem mean or rude at all because it's not at all just you. There's 100s of these.

[@rosesmith2162]

How is nested bean being $45 affordable lmao

[@blakejordan3742]

I get what you’re saying they are a little pricey but … I’ll pay $100 if it keeps my baby asleep through the night!

[@dolphynlvr4]

I agree it is pricey. However, if you try it with your baby and it doesn’t help them sleep better, you can return it and get your money back. We tried one with my son for a week when he was younger and saw no help with his sleep so we were able to get a refund.

[@Nicolelelagreen]

In comparison to whats on the market, yes, it's more affordable. Swaddles go for $33 on the low end up to $89 on the high end! And many of those do not even have the features the Nested Bean has (double zipper, arms up or down option, weighted sack)... I consider it affordable with those added features since it helps my baby sleep better, which is priceless in my opinion for a mama and baby who needs rest. Also a comment below mentioned if it doesn't work for your baby, you can return it, thats incredible. On top of that, the new Zen Neo sack comes in a pack of 2 for $49 that breaks down to $25 a piece. And, if that all isn't enough, I offered a discount code to help bring down the price.

[@TonyellevilleTemple]

Why do KZbin moms pump if you don’t have a job ?

[@Nicolelelagreen]

Working on KZbin is my FT job hun… but also moms many times pump to keep there milk supply up because it’s dipping, or to have extra milk frozen so you can leave the house and have a sitter watch the baby… many different reasons someone might want to pump 💕
