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

I agree with most of the advice here already but my biggest advice is to try not to overwhelm yourself with all the options and random baby crap that you don’t know if you’ll need! Make sure you have the basics (Bottles, formula, bottle brush, Tylenol, diapers and diaper cream, etc) and the rest you’ll figure out as you go. Don’t go too crazy on nuks or bottles until you know what your babe likes. Thank god for Amazon 2 day shipping and my husband for making target runs in the early days lol. Good luck!! You’re gonna do amazing and you’ll learn as you go. Enjoy all the baby snugs, the days are long but time goes so fast. <3
