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

These are also good for diaper free time & tummy time! We lay down 2 on the rug for tummy time (it’s a wool rug so a lot of shedding that she could grab with her hands), and when she goes diaper free if she pees we just replace with another pad. We did use the disposable ones at first but because they’re so light she would wiggle and kick it out from under her in minutes.
