1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Who baby, my baby. Below I need you, Oh Hell, 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: I need you. What to Expect is a production of 3 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. I'm your host Heidi Murkop and I'm 4 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: a mom on a mission, a mission to help you 5 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: know what to expect every step of the way. They 6 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: arrive in the world equipped with nothing but a birthday suit, 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: definitely the sweetest suit your precious bundle will ever wear. 8 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: But get ready, your tiny baby will be way more 9 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: high maintenance in the next twelve months. And here she 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: was in the last nine. It may take a village 11 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: to raise a child, but it also takes a whole 12 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: lot of baby gear and itty biddy outfits, supplies of 13 00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: every variety, and diapers lots and lots of diape first 14 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: Watson must have, probably not nearly as much as you think. 15 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you can definitely lay out a bundle for 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: your little bundles, lay at a nursery, and you can 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: absolutely ask your friends and family to chip into That's 18 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: what registries are for. But before you get carried away 19 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: and your credit card gets maxed out, it's a good 20 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: idea to have some idea of what you really need, 21 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: what's nice to have, and what you'll probably realistically, never 22 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: use not to worry. We've got you. We're tackling everything 23 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 1: you need to know about buying for your baby, including 24 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: what you definitely need and what you definitely don't. I'm 25 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: here with Emma, Hey, Amma. Ready to go shopping? Yeah? 26 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: You were born ready to go shopping? Right? Yes I was. 27 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: If anybody knows about shopping, it's you. Like we all 28 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: have our strong suits. Yes mean to yes, we do. 29 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: I hate shopping. This is definitely your episode. I mean 30 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: especially shopping for baby stuff, shopping for baby clothes that 31 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: could become addictive. And we're gonna hopefully make sure it 32 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: doesn't get addictive because we're gonna help you navigate through this. Now, 33 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: what about you? When did you start buying stuff for 34 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: the baby? Okay, so my first baby, I was nervous. 35 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: I think eventually I started probably around seven months, six 36 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: seven months, such self restraint. And for me, it is 37 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: I was just like I did IBS and I was 38 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: so nervous about God forbids thing happening, so I didn't 39 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: want to Like Jinxit, I kind of did the same 40 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: with my second. However, like having two kids, I think 41 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: you really realize the crap you don't need everything I wanted. 42 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: The first time, I wanted the best roller out there, 43 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: I wanted the best car seat out there, And now 44 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: the second time, I'm like, yeah, I feel like Seby 45 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: got ah the second child syndrome, because you know, Lennox 46 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: had beautiful clothes and then Sebby was like always in 47 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: the cheap Amazon clothes. But that was kind of a 48 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: blessing because Sebby spit up eight hundred times a day, 49 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: so he would have ruined all those nice clothes. So 50 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: did you pay back? It's a bit okay, mom, Let's 51 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: talk about what your baby actually needs and what you 52 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: can save some money on. First of all, what you 53 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: actually need before the baby is born, and what can 54 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: or should you wait on until after? You should definitely 55 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: buy in baby steps. Try to start with just the 56 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: newborn needs. I mean, for one thing, you can't leave 57 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: the hospital without a car seat. You can't go anywhere 58 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: without a car seat, So that's must have a safe 59 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: sleep space, so a bassinet or a pack and play 60 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: with a bassinet insert he needs the sheets to go 61 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: with it. You don't need any other betting a changing 62 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: table maybe, or you can just use a portable changing station. 63 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: At first, especially if you're short on space. Lots of 64 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: burp cloths, spit happens, It happens, a lot swaddles or 65 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: sacks for sleep, a wrap or a baby carrier that's 66 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: comfortable for you, and every mom is different in that department, 67 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: but you will need one because your arms will get 68 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: tired as excited as you are about snuggling your baby, 69 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: and you'll want to wear your baby. And also that 70 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: less exciting but necessary stuff the baby grooming supplies like 71 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: a clipper or scissors for trimming those gency tiny finger 72 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: and toenails with because they can be overgrown by the 73 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: time of baby is born. I know you're dreading cutting them, 74 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: but still baby wash, shampoo, wipes, more wipes, diaper, rash cream, 75 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: cotton balls, and then the medicine cabinet stash. You won't 76 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: need very much infantile and although you won't be able 77 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: to use it until after age two months, a rectal thermometer, 78 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: nasal aspirator, a k ace not sucker very important. And 79 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: also don't forget supplies for you. You're gonna need supplies 80 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: to you need nipple cream, breast pads, maxi pads. You're 81 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: gonna need warm and cold packs for your sore breasts. 82 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: And of course you're gonna need your free to Perry bottle. 83 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: It's going to be way better than the one to 84 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: give you at the hospital. That was the best thing 85 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: that's ever happened to my vagina. God, and you can 86 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: use it after it's like a bi day. It's like 87 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: you're in France when you pee. If I can tell 88 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: you one thing to get on your registry, get the 89 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: free to Perry bottle. I'm thinking about it right now. 90 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: It's a postpartum crowd pleaser. Now you need newborn clothes 91 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: and diapers, but here you can definitely easily over buy. 92 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: And I'd say we definitely recommend that you don't over 93 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: buy because you never know how big or small your 94 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: baby is going to be when they're born. But also 95 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: they grow super super fast, and it'll be tempting to 96 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: doll your baby up. But try to keep it simple. 97 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 1: Please try to keep it simple. You'll understand why after 98 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: the first diaper blowout, a few spitting up episodes, and 99 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: during all the midnight changes. Really all you need are 100 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: a few T shirts and onesies, some footed sleepers, a 101 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: few sleep sex or nightgowns with elastic bottoms. Easy access 102 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: to the poop deck is essential. You want to keep 103 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: in mind that baby arms and legs, and they got 104 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: the floppy heads. It's really hard to put clothes on them, 105 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: so you want easy on and easy off and definitely 106 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: easy wash. I love the soft cotton that really feels 107 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: the best on baby soft skin. I love bamboo cotton. 108 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: Kicky Pants makes the softest, like I would love to 109 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: wear myself. What about the stuff you're not gonna need 110 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: right away but you'll need later. I feel like these 111 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: are things you can register for, but if you don't 112 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: get them right away, it's actually I would say it's 113 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: better to wait until you need them, because then you'll 114 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: have a better sense of what you will need. Um 115 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: high chairs for my second I didn't register. I just 116 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: ended up buying one when he was like seven months old, 117 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: And I think that makes sense. You know, even a 118 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: crib isn't must have until your baby outgrows. You know, 119 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: whatever the safe sleep spaces that you have early on 120 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: the bassinet. And one thing you will never need, not early, 121 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: not late, not ever is bumpers because they are not 122 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: considered safe, or blankets for sleep or pillows for sleep. 123 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: What about feeding supplies. I think with feeding supplies, what 124 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: you need really depends on how you plan to feed 125 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: your baby, even though that might change because Emma, of 126 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: course you plan to breastfeed and then you ended up 127 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: bottle feeding. But even if you're planning to breastfeed and 128 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 1: your breastfeed exclusively, you're still gonna need bottles and nipples, 129 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: I mean even for an occasional bottle of breastmel just 130 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: to get your baby used to a bottle, because if 131 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: you don't do that early on, your baby will never 132 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: ever take a bottle, like like you and why it 133 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: never took a bottle, I had to be the human pacifier. 134 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: And also speaking of pacifiers, it might take a while 135 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: for your baby to find the perfect passy, and so 136 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't suck up on one brand of bottle or 137 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: one brand of passy because you never know what your 138 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: baby is gonna end up taking. And then also something 139 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: else to keep in mind is that breast pumps are 140 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: covered under the A C A, So a lot of 141 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: insurance plans, probably not all, but most insurance plans are 142 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: going to cover a good breast pump, and so you 143 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: won't have to buy one. There might be a copay, 144 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: but call your insurance company and see what is covered, 145 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: and they might also cover other breastfeeding supplies. You know, 146 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: it can be the Michelin Star passy, but that doesn't 147 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: mean your kid's gonna take it. Your kid might take 148 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: the Dollar Store pass So even though they're cute, doesn't 149 00:08:54,440 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: mean your kid's going to be on board exactly. Okay, 150 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: so what about the nursery. I think that's everybody's kind 151 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 1: of like favorite. They start pinning things on Pinterest, But 152 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: how necessary is it Because for me, at least, Sey 153 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: didn't go into his room until he was twelve months. 154 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 1: That wasn't my husband's idea, that was mine. So it's 155 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: funny because everybody stresses so much about getting the nursery ready, 156 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: but you know, the truth day is your baby isn't 157 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: gonna be moving in there for at least six months, 158 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: maybe up to twelve months. Are supposed to share your 159 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: room until then, So it's great to have it all 160 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: set up and Instagram ready, but it's really not necessary. Now. 161 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: The glider is gonna be a great thing to have, 162 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: but you don't necessarily have to put it in the 163 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: nursery if you're not using the nursery yet or it's 164 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: not set up yet. You can keep the glider, which 165 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: is perfect for breath feeding or bottle feeding, or just 166 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: for soothing your baby. You can keep it in a 167 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: more convenient place where you're gonna be more often, like 168 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: the living room for now. And all those stuffed animals 169 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: that you would put in your nursery, they're just for decoration. 170 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: So what can we borrow and what's safe for hand 171 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: me downs? And what definitely needs to be new because 172 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: I used a lot of hand me downs from one 173 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: kid to the second. And actually I gave my beautiful 174 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: fancy crib with Lennox to my best friend and she 175 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: still uses it for her daughter. So when is sharing 176 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: is care and good? And sharing is caring not so good? Well, 177 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: we're here to save as much money as possible because 178 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna be stolen out a lot of cash. Babies 179 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: are expensive. Babies are expensive. Absolutely, I would borrow as 180 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: many clothes as you possibly can. I would say the 181 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: same goes from returney clothes because you're only going to 182 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: wear them a couple of times. Annie, And all clothes 183 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna get pooped on, they're gonna get split up. 184 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: One and the same goes for baby receiving blankets and 185 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: burp clothes, even cloth diapers. Listen, if they've lasted, let's 186 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: recycle them. There are some things that you should not borrow, 187 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: and that would be things that might have been recalled 188 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: clearly or might not meet current safety standards, like a 189 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: car seat. Definitely don't borrow a car seat. If you 190 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: maybe you've had babies coast together, you might be able 191 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: to use the same car seat. You want to make 192 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: sure it's up to safety standards that are most recent, 193 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: because the newest car seats are always the safest ones. 194 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: Toys also, they might have been recalled or they might 195 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: not be up to safety snuff, so check that out first. Now. 196 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: Breast pumps are one thing you should definitely not consider 197 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: borrowing or even buying us because most are designed only 198 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: for one mom use and not to share. They're totally 199 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: impossible to seralyze most of them, and even if the 200 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: tubing and the other parts are bought new, it's not 201 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: a good idea. So you can rent a hospital great 202 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: pump that's properly sterilized, but it's best to buy them 203 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: new or get them under your insurance plan. Okay, so 204 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: there are obviously some must haves strollers, car seats, they're 205 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: the big purchases. How do moms know they're picking good ones? 206 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: You've got to look for safety certification of course, um SO, 207 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: j p M A, cps C, this Consumer Product Safety Commission, 208 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: do your homework online and look at those online reviews, 209 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: because nobody knows what a mama needs more than another mama. 210 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, what to Expect community is a great source 211 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: of info, and there are reviews on what to expect 212 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: for products. And also every year we have the What 213 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: to Expect Awards that only moms get to vote on. 214 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: So I think that's a great way to find what's 215 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: worked for other moms. But you also have to factor 216 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: in because every mom is different. You've got a factor 217 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: in your budget, your circumstances, where you live, how you live, 218 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: what's important to you, and that might be very different 219 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: from other moms on your message board. So if you 220 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: live in the suburbs and you've got sidewalks everywhere and 221 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: you're going to be using your stroller a lot on sidewalks, 222 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: that's very different than a stroller for the city. Comfort 223 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: levels are going to be different depending on your size too. 224 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: For me being so short, I need something, you know, 225 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: down low, you need something that's more high. You also 226 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: have to take into account your local store aisles. In 227 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: New York City, the store aisles were so narrow that 228 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,959 Speaker 1: I couldn't get through them with my double stroller when 229 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: I had two of you. Or the size of your trunk. 230 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 1: How much will your trunk fit, or even if you 231 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: have a car, or you're gonna be doing public transport, 232 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: and that means you're gonna have to open and close, 233 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: open and close. It's got to be easy to open 234 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: and close. And season matters too for certain items. So 235 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: a summer baby might need a lightweight baby carrier or wrap, 236 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: and a winter baby might need something more snug like. 237 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: I also think it's a great to look into a 238 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: travel system where your car seat can attach to the stroller. 239 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: You can register for like a set which is like 240 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: the stroller and the car seat and they all connect 241 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: and it makes it so much easier because if your 242 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: baby is sleeping, the last thing you want to do 243 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: is wake a baby and put them in the stroller. 244 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: For sure. That's more for the newborn car seats. Yeah, yeah, 245 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: so I'm saying you don't want to get a stroller 246 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't work with your car seat because you're just 247 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: going to be screwed. Yeah, and more expensive doesn't always 248 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,239 Speaker 1: mean better, right, No, there's so many cheap travel systems 249 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: and they're amazing reviews. Okay, so what about registering? What 250 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: is the best time to do that? For me, registering 251 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: is the best thing on earth. As for when to register, 252 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: the ball is really in your court. You can think 253 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: of it as a work in progress, like a working 254 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: document that you can keep adding to or subtracting from 255 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: as you do more homework and get more feedback online 256 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: or from family and friends. I mean, you can even 257 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: started before you announce that you're pregnant. There's a private 258 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: mode that you can choose, and definitely get registered before 259 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: the baby shower invites go out, because that way people 260 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: know what to buy you. And if you're superstitious, you 261 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: can just wait until the baby arrives to push send. 262 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: Or you know, if you are waiting to find out 263 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: the sex of the baby and there are certain things 264 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: that you want to be pink or blue on, then 265 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: you can wait until you find out. Okay, but like 266 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: g got one registrate, you get two registries, three or 267 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: four registries, Like what do you think? That's totally up 268 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: to you. Some moms like getting the multiple welcome gifts 269 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: from the multiple registries, so that could be a plus, 270 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: but it's really not going to be as easier to 271 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: keep track of. Now, make sure that you register for 272 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: items in a wide price range, because some friends and 273 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: family might want to combine their buying power for bigger 274 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: ticket items, and others are gonna want to buy lots 275 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: of little things, even you know, breast paths diapers and 276 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna need it. Also, why not Sometimes people can't 277 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: afford to buy something that's more than like five dollars, 278 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: So you've got to give everyone the option of what 279 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: they can afford in their price range. So I'm going 280 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: to turn the table over to you now, Emma, because 281 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: you really are the shopping and product guru, Like this 282 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: is not my area of expertise. Okay, so we're gonna 283 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: go over some must havevs. What were your favorites and 284 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: what have you heard from your mom followers? Okay, let's 285 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: do this on Instagram. Mom said the nose freda aspirator, 286 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: Like a million people said this, and I cannot agree 287 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: more exactly, because here's the thing about baby nose is 288 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: that that's stuffy. But there's no way you can blow 289 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: their nose, So you've got to get that snot out 290 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: one way or another. And the snot sucker besides the 291 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: name of it is so amazing. But any nasal aspirator 292 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: is important to have. That should be at the top 293 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: of your register totally. It is now. Okay, a good monitor, 294 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: I agree, but it also depends, like if you have 295 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: a small home or like a studio apartment, you don't 296 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: need a monitor. But if you have um multi room house, 297 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 1: a monitor is great, and there's different options. And keep 298 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: in mind, of course that if they're sleeping in your room, 299 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: which they should be for at least the first six months, 300 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: it might not be as essential, but still good to 301 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: happen because you're not going to be sleeping as many 302 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: hours hopefully as your baby is. Okay, Bobby pillows and 303 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: boppy newborn loungers. I had them both, and I love 304 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: them both. If anything, the body lounger is great for 305 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: taking pictures of your new born. That's so true. That's 306 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: so true. And it's like the snug little cocoon and 307 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: it's so soft and cozy, but we've got to have 308 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: a safety caveat here, because you can never leave your 309 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: baby unattended in one of these. They might fall asleep. 310 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: Don't leave their side in that all things freed to. 311 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: I use their nail clippers, I used the windy, I 312 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: used the squirt bottle for my postpartum vagina. Everything that 313 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: freedom makes is amazing and I think that moms all 314 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: agree on this totally. Okay. So humidifier, So here's the 315 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 1: thing about humidifiers. I wouldn't say they are necessary, but 316 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: if you are going to use a humidifier, the hotness 317 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: is not safe, so you use a coolness. You've got 318 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: to keep it clean. That's the most important part. So 319 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: you've got to follow those instructions that it comes with 320 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: manual breast pumps, because even if you get the hospital 321 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: grid one, it's always nice to kind of do some 322 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: manual pumping. Well. The thing about the manual pump is 323 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: if your breast are really really full before you put 324 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: your baby on on the breast so that it's easier 325 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: for him to get a grasp on it, you can 326 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 1: just pump a little first. Or if your baby is 327 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: always like gulping because there's so much milk coming out 328 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: at first. Just take a little edge off before you 329 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: put baby on. Mattress protector for those leaks. You might 330 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: also want one for your bed because especially in the 331 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: early months, when your breasts are leaking a lot, you 332 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: definitely don't want to have to keep changing your mattress out. 333 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: And also on the topic of mattresses, it's so important 334 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: to invest in a good mattress for your babies crib 335 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: when you get to the crib point because it should 336 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: be super firm baby swing. The swing is fine for 337 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe thirty minutes at a time, um, but 338 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: not for sleep. It's not safe for sleep, and you 339 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: don't really need it, honestly. Pack and play, yes, definitely 340 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: pack and play, especially if it has the insert for 341 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: the bassonet, because you can put that right next to 342 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: your bed and that way you have easy access to 343 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: your baby. And and also you said that they have 344 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: changing so they have changing tables on them too, multi 345 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: purpose and that way you save a lot of money 346 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: because maybe you want to end up needing a changing table. 347 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: Banky clips. I love woman up pass these, They're so cute. 348 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: A woman up has a little teeny stuffed animal attached 349 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: to it, not big enough so that it's a safety risk. 350 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: Safety first, they are super cute and babies love them 351 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: and parents and parents. But you know the other thing 352 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: is you want to be able to find the past 353 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: see quickly. You know, don't buy tons of pass these 354 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: or anything that you're not your Your baby's gonna like 355 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: stock up later. Okay. Swaddles and Muslin blankets. I love 356 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: Muslin because we live in California and I'm always scared 357 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: my kids getting hot. Swaddles I only use bell Grow 358 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: because I can't swaddle, because there's a lightweight that makes 359 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: them safer. But you're not going to need blankets at 360 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: all for the crib. But they're great to like just 361 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: hold the baby, especially if you want to protect yourself 362 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: from spit up. Speaking of which or class, everybody said 363 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: you need our class, which is true. I went through 364 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: so many with Seby. He would spit up constantly. But 365 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: also bibbs, because you think of bibbs is something you 366 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: need just for feeding, but in fact baby spit up 367 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: so much it really helps to protect their clothing. You 368 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: don't have to dress them and undress them if they're 369 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: wearing a bib and they spit up on their bib. 370 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: Very true. What do you not need because we're trying 371 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: to save mama's money here, what are places of parents 372 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: typically waste money on? Okay, so I asked on Instagram, 373 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: of course, and these are the things that moms were like, 374 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: don't need it. I thought I needed it. Don't need it. 375 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: Swaddles with no vel grow amen, because in the middle 376 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: of the night, the last thing you want to do 377 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: is try to do like a traditional swaddle. They're going 378 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: to be diaper changes in the middle of the night, 379 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: and that's again why you want easy access to the 380 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: poop deck. Yes, and hybrids like the sacks. Just don't 381 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: make me do oregon me at two am. You know, 382 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: way too many clothes. People say it's not necessary, and 383 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: they grow fast and they get stained and it's just 384 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: not necessarily. One thing that wasn't on the mussouse, but 385 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: you gotta have it is stained remover. Oh my gosh, yeah, 386 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: because that's been up if you don't get to it fast. 387 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: Oh boy, it's forever. Baby shoes for newborns adorable, but 388 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: not necessarily because they're not walking or doing much of anything. 389 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: You know. The funny thing is even after they're walking, 390 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: they're better off walking barefoot. And the other thing is 391 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: that baby shoes they kick them off. Okay, bumpers obviously 392 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: not safe. Not safe. Diaper genie, I don't know. I 393 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: liked the arm and hammer one by Munchkin. I thought 394 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: it was great. Someone said that the diaper genie was 395 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: not something they needed and maybe they use cloth diapers. 396 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: I feel like you do need a pail of some sort. 397 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: There are gonna be a lot of diapers early on, 398 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: a lot of diapers. And we're talking like eight poops 399 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: a day, ten poops. Said hey, if the baby's breastfed, 400 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: so yeah, okay, so the mom Maru. You guys, some 401 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: of you said your babies didn't like it. Lennox loved it, 402 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: Sebby wasn't that into it. It's like this super expensive 403 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: swing thing. You know. It looks really cool. It's like 404 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: space ag looking and you can do it back and forth, 405 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: front and back. Some babies just don't like the sensation. 406 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: It is very pricey, so I mean, if you want 407 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: to register for it, but your baby might not love it. 408 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: After all. Sterilizing kits, I think I may have bought them, 409 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: but didn't use them because I can also just boil water. Yeah, 410 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: and and the truth is that only maybe Premise would 411 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: need their bottles sterilized. Um. If your doctor recommends it, 412 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: that's one thing. But you can just boil water. But honestly, 413 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: you can stick them in the dishwasher for the most part. 414 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: That's fine. P pods to cover the penis, the p 415 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: P T pas. I got them as a gift for Lennox, 416 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: and I didn't use them. So the idea is, when 417 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: you're changing a boy, you always have to consider them 418 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 1: armed and dangerous and so um. You can just you 419 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: don't need a p P T P. You can just 420 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: use a taper, put it over just to protect you. Also, 421 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: that p is strong, it's going to shoot that little 422 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: hat off the penis. I'm sorry, that's true, Okay. Bottle 423 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: warmers I used religiously, can also just use hot water 424 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: and save money. Babies are not born needing their bottles warmed, 425 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: and it's just a matter of like it becomes a habit. 426 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: My bottle's got to be warm, my wife's have got 427 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: to be warm. And in fact, you can do everything 428 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: at room temperature. Some people said that they didn't feel 429 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: the baby breathing monitor outlet was necessary. I actually totally 430 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 1: agree with that, because, first of all, there can be 431 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: lots of false alarms on those things, and it can 432 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: give you a false sense of security too. So that 433 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: actually worries me more is that if you're like putting 434 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: your baby in an unsafe sleep space because you feel, oh, well, 435 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: I've got the breathing monitor, so I'm gonna know if 436 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,719 Speaker 1: something goes wrong, that's actually really dangerous thing to do. So, 437 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, unless your doctor recommends it, you know you 438 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: have a premy there's some reason for your baby's breathing 439 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: to be monitored. I would say no. The wrap. I 440 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: love when moms wrapped their babies. I couldn't figure it out. 441 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: I think that's an item that either you like it 442 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: or you don't. You know, well, I wouldn't wait until 443 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: the baby's there to like give it a whirl. I 444 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: would pack by ahead of time. I mean, of course, 445 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: it's going to be different when you have a bump 446 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: than afterwards. But here's the thing that I love about 447 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: baby wearing is that it's really can help with post 448 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: partum mood disorders. Um Wearing your baby has been proven, 449 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: in fact to minimize the symptoms. So if you can 450 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: baby where in that situation your baby is close to you, 451 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: they cry less, they hear your heartbeat. It's very soothing 452 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: and it does release oxytocin so you feel happier. Okay, 453 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: So am I any final tips for nesting moms, especially 454 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: moms who are worried about budgeting for babies.
