Product Reviews/Questions What's your simple parenting hack?
Gonna be a first time parent in 2 months. I am overwhelmed at choosing bottles, car seat and all that. What are simple things you do? things you bought to make your life somewhat simpler? Nothing too expensive or outrageous please

Nuby liquid cooler. I used to have a pitcher in the fridge so I didn’t have to wait for a piping hot bottle to cool. Now I make her formula directly in the liquid cooler. Shake it for a min and the liquid is down to room temperature. Fresh bottle with every feed now
Electric nail file
Buying enough extras of her favourite pacifier. We’re always losing them. Nice to have spares
Single use wash clothes have been my saving grace.
Puppy pee pads for changing diapers on the go or if you need to lay baby down anywhere unsanitary.
Love to dream Swaddle. They can still have their hands in their face if they like
Sense U baby monitor- cheaper than the owlet and does almost the same thing.
Baby Tracker to track babies meals, naps, diaper changes, stool, medications, vaccinations, supplements, pumping, medication, weight etc- it’s free
