Also don’t get a bassinet, get a pack and play. They cost the same but the pack and play is duel purpose, will be used longer and is very easy to travel with!

I literally asked my mom who’s 48 if i needed a changing pad and she said “for what? Change her on the bed or couch” and literally every other seasoned mom told me the same thing 😭

That b¡tch :
Ah! Yes! Because over consumption during pregnancy intersects directly with evolutionary nesting psychology, marketing has hijacked those instincts so companies target (especially) first time moms because naturally the nesting instinct is to prepare for a new vulnerable baby. The general stepping-into-the-unknown feeling that we experience when having a child is super scary! Since you cannot purchase "a guarantee that labor will go smoothly" or "a promise that the baby will sleep," the maternal brain substitutes those uncontrollable fears with things it can control: buying the top-rated swing or the exact wipe-warmer or the most aesthetic or most comfortable or most functional of something. This is such an interesting topic lol like historically we know that childbirth and raising infants and children is risky and the need for certainty is how they get us. So where our ancestral "gatherer" instincts once focused on collecting finite resources like food, shelter materials, firewood, and community support, modern consumer culture channels that same biological anxiety into an infinite digital marketplace which is endless and once we’re out of it we’re like omg I was acting insane bc it’s so blinding when you’re experiencing the anxiety and needing ways to control and cope 😭

Don’t even get my started on all of the $2000 travel systems. Why are we buying a stroller where you need to buy 15 $300 attachments to get full function

IMO (as a nanny) babies NEED: a safe car seat, a safe sleep space, a safe place to be set down, 1 soothing tool (bouncer, swing, etc...), enough clothes to go 2 days without having to wash, 2-3 bottles and formula [and if BF a backup if mom is not there], and whatever diapering solution works for you :)

My sister was born when I was 10 and I remember she needed basically nothing so I’m buying as little as possible! My mom did laundry often and hand washed and boiled bottles

I got every single thing I wanted both high ticket and low ticket items. I don’t regret it at all bc it was all apart of my experience as a first time mom and I lovedddd it! 13 months in…i realize there’s so much we didn’t use or need. But wouldn’t change it for anything.

The $200-300 changing thing. So unnecessary and I couldn’t imagine spending that much to change my babies diaper…..

Watching only minimalist content on nursery/registry lists saved me! I was feeling so guilting about bringing home our baby to an apartment with only a 10x10 room for a nursery but it ended up being amazing with making sure I only bought what was needed!

16 years "this side", as far as gear goes, every baby needs a brand new car seat for every car you own. and a new, certified safe sleep space (crib or pack n play) and diapers. it's okay to have things that make your life easier like the formula pitcher, do-dads, ect but as far as **NEED**, save your money, for sure. there's tons of baby stuff I wish i never got. not only because of money but because of SPACE! some of that crap takes up half the living room

Girl, FTM here and I’m only buying things I NEEED. You won’t catch me spending 5,000 on absolutely anything. I made my own baby clothes, 5 sets of baby clothes, and five sleepers for every baby size including preemie, bibs, mittens, socks, changing mats, and burping cloths all made by me. Not only is it so much cheaper, it’s an heirloom basically. The only things I bought were a carrier, a bedside bassinet, diapers, bottles, and formula. It costs me $8-10 a yard of cloth, and makes three outfits for baby… score!!

Lawyer Marg ❤︎ :
I think a lot of what you need and what you don’t is so specific to each family and baby tho. And unfortunately you don’t figure out what you personally like and don’t like until after you’ve had a baby. It’s all trial and error.

Consignment stores are the MOVE. I got a ton of new stuff at my shower for my son and the most used items? The two $25 used swings we bought consignment 🤣 and the portable fold up diaper changing pad was my entire life. It cost like…idk $20 on Amazon? Fantastic. If I ever have a second we’ll be thrifting everything we don’t have and reusing what we do already have

I agree! I’m a first time mom and I realized real quick that all the fancy stuff that was on my registry I didn’t use. I just needed the basics.
