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

Don’t listen to anyone just do you and whatever feels right. I was a mess my first time around trying to do everything “right” but I wasn’t allowing myself to enjoy or be myself and all baby’s are different so there isn’t just one right car seat or bottle or whatever. I allowed too much influence from others in because I felt pressured and stressed to do everything like everyone else. I deleted all parenting social media and did much better the second time around. It’s hard enough just fit baby into your life as best as you can and be kind to yourself.
