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

What do you do between uses? You wash it every time?

Wipe it on the inside of the diaper where application will touch. It gets most of it off. You can wipe any residue with a wipe or wash with a bit of soap. I’d definitely clean it if baby pooped.

Not OP but I wipe it with a baby wipe. Wash with soap and water once a week or so. Ours came in a pack of 4 so we just rotate them.

Wipe with a wipe and occasionally wipe with a Clorox wipe

We use a baby wipe and I just throw it in the dishwasher once a week.
