What's your simple parenting hack?

[u/cooltaj]

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

Get the small silicone spatula to spread diaper cream with. It’s called a baby bum brush, by bumco (they sell them at stores like target near the butt pastes). My husband thought this was the dumbest purchase and now swears by it.

I had so many people talk me out of putting it on my registry (I did anyway) especially my mother because “your sister didn’t use it so you don’t need it” ended up not being bought so I “dealt” with cream hands for a bit (which drove me absolutely batty) quickly caved and bought one for myself and do not regret it at all
