NEWBORN MUST HAVES | NEWBORN BABY ESSENTIALS

[@sailorcheri]

I’m re watching these old videos because my brother just had a baby and I’ve forgotten the newborn stage since my guy is almost 7. As for the muslin blankets, I still use ours even now! They are called ‘boogie blankets’ now for snotty noses and I always have a few in his room and in the playroom. 6 years later they are still being used. Such a long lasting gift 👍🏽

[@marijaskolan9088]

Your positive videos make being a mom of three boys sounds so easy. I love it.

[@thewadsquad]

That car seat/stroller is genius!!!

[@mrsemilynorris]

It is so clever xx

[@aysulushatmanova8048]

but for how long can you use it for babies? up to 6 months?

[@mrsemilynorris]

I think i'll use it until he's 1 xx

[@mindfulthinking4802]

[@cd4536]

I would suggest doing your own research on all products. the sleepyhead it's called dock a tot in the U.S is not safe for sleeping and any breathing/heart monitors that aren't medical equipment have been shown to be unreliable in research.

[@micaamarley1416]

Ive been distracted by the baby's eyes the whole video looooool hes adorable ..

[@wrxked]

My sons is 2 weeks old and the sleepyhead is amazing! I couldn't live without it!

[@mrsemilynorris]

Me too I love it so much xx

[@Traceyi1000]

Mobiles and a basic playmat is really great for a 3 month old baby. We got the Fisher Price piano kick and play

[@TheLunaDiaries]

I’m 16 weeks and I’ve just now really starting buying things. I’m going to purchase everything you listed because I trust your judgement. So this was so so helpful! I didn’t know where to start but now I do. Thank you, Emily!

[@karolinabriliute]

It's unbelievable how good you look while you busy with 3 boys ,You are amazing mum :) I'm sitting on bed after shower ,No motivation do anything 😵😵😵,I'm 36 weeks pregnent

[@ShaleeSheen]

Where has time gone ? My god how is he already seven weeks old. And how are you still looking so well put together and relaxed and glowing with three boys (plus husband) to care for ? Haha tell us your secrets ! xx

[@mrsemilynorris]

Ha ha thanks so much - I don;t always feel like I am xx

[@nicholehodge532]

I just wear my babies so I don’t need all these extra contraptions. I usually have one bouncer that can move from room to room with me but that is it. I use carriers the rest of the time to keep baby close while I do pretty much anything. I love that carrier!

[@GardensOfChina]

Love everything else but be very careful with the 'sleepyhead' thing - the Lullaby trust (that fights against sudden infant death in UK) clearly explains why those are not safe for overnight sleep. The Snuzpod is already smaller than a cot & our 3 weeks old has been sleeping fine in it since day 1.

[@chrisclose7793]

great video , those snooze shades are fantastic had one for my son when he was born 5 years and best invstment for when going out , as a sound and lighting technician i installed a pair of wall mounted speakers so we could pipe relaxing music into my sons nursery if he was restless which worked a treat

[@LaSmoocherina]

I love your channel but the first product bumpers are a HUGE! SIDS/SUDSI risk! I recommend not using that first product and NOT putting an infant face down to sleep. Always on their back to sleep. As a mother, baby nurse, I had to say something. I love the car seat.

[@HelenEk7]

I was very surprised by that as well. Here every doctor, midwife and nurse will tell you to *never* put your baby to sleep on their tummy. The result is that crib deaths have gone down with 92% (!). (Norway)

[@katiewebstr5546]

Thanks you just saved my nerlie

[@nusaybahansar9285]

I understand that its a huge sids risk. but sleeping on their stomach is sometimes the only way you can get them to sleep. My baby will only sleep for 15 mins max on his back. If you try and put him on his back he will wake up almost instantly. My mother has had 7 kids and all of us have slept on our stomachs. Of course ALWAYS supervise your baby ESPECIALLY on their stomach. I cannot stress this enough.

[@leirs126]

Allow a mother to follow and trust her natural God-given instincts please. Not every baby is built the same.

[@Lin_Z1989]

Im just now seeing this comment so just wanted to tell u they r breathable mesh ones. She talks about them in her Nursery reveal video. She put them in to not let his legs or arms get stuck in between the bars but def breathable. 👍

[@lisadixon8983]

I doubt there's any chance of a new baby for me, but I still loved this video. I did however, have to wait to watch it when my hubby was at work. I'm sure he'd think I'd gone insane. Our babies are 16 and 12. Lovely video, Emily. Baby Jackson is absolutely gorgeous 👶🏼😘 xx

[@Jadey3085]

Love love love your videos. My baby girl is due 28th September 2017 and it's my first baby and i just have no clue. Everything is so overwhelming. Knowing what to pack in your hospital bag is a nightmare. I have already got the baby's bag packed but i think im going to get my little suitcase. As advised by you then it will be all in together and easier to get to. Thank you for your amazing and informative video's. ☺

[@mamabee2151]

I have been wondering why Sleepyhead/Dock-a-tot has a different name in the US and I just realized why. It's not an approved sleeping thing in the US to use anything even breathable crib bumpers with a side on it unless it's a crib with nothing in it, so I guess they cant have the word ''sleepy'' in their name. Random thought but it just dawned on me because I was considering getting one but my pediatrician warned against it so i did some research and apparently it's considered safe in the UK but not in the US *eyeroll*

[@bethanybrown2022]

Mama Bee it’s not considered safe because of research that shows babies should sleep in a crib, pack n play or bassinet and on their back.

[@bethaniecarlson3047]

They don’t even sell them in Canada you have to have it shipped from the states 😩

[@zzevonplant]

@@bethaniecarlson3047 Ever think there might be a good reason they won't sell them in Canada...? Is it really worth risking your baby's life so you can get them to sleep a couple hours longer at a time? Doesn't seem like a good trade off to me. Sure, plenty of babies are fine in these, but trust me, you sure as hell don't want to end up being one of the parents that gets VERY unlucky.

[@littlequickfire3296]

The American Pediatric Association would recommend laying your baby in the middle of the floor (no carpet underneath), with nothing within five feet of the baby, if it didn't sound so ridiculous. Nobody wants to risk being slapped with a lawsuit in the US. It is a safety thing but undeniably cultural too.

[@mumhacks8620]

They aren’t recommended in the UK for nighttime sleeping either. It’s a big misconception here, the instructions say you have to use when in alert or semi alert state. Any doctor / midwife would say not to use these in the UK

[@emilydowan919]

Hi Emily. I’m just catching up on some of your older videos as we have baby number 4 arriving next week. The link to the baby wrap carrier is for the US. Can you remember how you ordered it/where you ordered it from so we can get one in the uk? Thanks so much, Emily x

[@warrior5312]

Hello Emily, I'm a mum to be (second child) Planning a vacation when my baby will be 3months old. Loved the bath support idea and the baby sling. Which I think it's perfect for a vacation acessory. Thank you so much for sharing ;-)

[@janedoe5510]

Sooooo much to consider 😣 My twins are due in late June, I have 3 months left to prep 😬

[@HelenEk7]

Very surprised you put him on the tummy to sleep! That's a no no where I live. Crib deaths here (Norway) have actually gone done by 92% (!) after every mother was told to only let their babies sleep on their back (until they are able to turn around themselves).

Hi, I didn't understand your statement, can you please rephrase?

My baby boy sleeps in his cacoon it’s by red castle and it’s called a cacoon I think it’s brilliant and much safer than anything with padding around the sides you can buy fitted sheets and a sleeping bag to go over the top great for colic too

[@hayley9178]

how is Jackson so big already! I can't believe how quick it's gone! I remember watching your first pregnancy video and feeling a bit sad as I thought we would never have more than one child! Now I have just under 2 weeks before my second little girl! how do you look so calm and great with three children?! xxxx

Great vlog! I'm also an anxious mum and mine are 6 and 10. I would still have video monitor in their room if my family would let me haha. They think I'm a tad over the top. I would have loved the car seat on wheels back when mine were baby's. xxx

[@rudinam2409]

1 buy swaddles instead. 2 by doing #1 you're already done. 3 actually helpful but till 4 months 4 would only last you 4 months not worth it for the price. 5 waterwipes are good and water and cotton is better. 6 bouncers are great.

[@jadecallii6303]

Theses type of videos are really helping me get stuff i need when my little one comes in September thank you keep doing theses types of videos x

[@anonymouse755]

I would have to disagree with about half of your list personally, but my children are 13, 8 and due in June. I had many of these things for my previous pregnancies and found they were a waste of money. Nothing more so than the bouncer and the sling. We become dependant on the bouncer so we van have "us time" when it's easier and better for baby to play and bond while they are awake, then have us time while they are asleep or bonding with daddy. And I could never find a sling or carrier which didn't hurt my back. Instead I found that snuggling with my babies was better on my back and for things requiring 2 hands I made the most of having a supportive husband who could either carry baby or lend a hand. Although the pram/car seat looks good, it is also not as safe as having a full proper car seat which doesn't separate. And you still need to buy a new seat a few months later. We opted for high safety and practicality with baby number 3 but to each their own

[@kirbypkawaii]

Can you please do skincare or everyday make up look for busy mums please? You look gorgeous as ever!

[@srobbo30]

I’m so confused. Wouldn’t that sleepyhead thing be unsafe as far as sids guidelines state

[@sjohnson6326]

I was wondering the same thing, especially with the video showing baby in a blanket too while on it

[@carlyvoitans707]

S Johnson and face down?? I have a newborn and they said always keep them on their back when they sleep

[@GardensOfChina]

It is unsafe especially for overnight sleep. If it's during day time & the caregiver is alert then it's probably a much less worrysome item.

[@malonisantiago3377]

Kasia Solska thank you for bringing this up I didn't want to be the only one who mentioned this. I am a nurse in the US and have read so many research, articles and have gone to numerous conventions about SIDS. It has been proven to reduce the chances of SIDS so please moms even for a nap 😴 even with the monitors please don't risk it please have them sleep on their backs. If research proves this please don't risk it and just get in the habit and also baby in the habit of being on their back. If you do decide to get them in swimming classes for emergencies they learn to flip over on their backs anyways as a life saving technique so it might help with that too 😉
