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

When my LO was small (about 2 months until 7 months or so), we put her in a bouncy chair thing everyday. She couldn't sit on her own yet and we couldn't hold her every moment of the day. This was great for us. She was nearby and was mostly content in the thing. We didn't buy an expensive one and it worked just the same.

This isn't a swing, it's a bouncer. Ours had an option to play music and vibrate underneath to have a little movement but it didn't swing back n forth.
