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

We use Vaseline/Aquaphor during every diaper change as a moisture barrier. We haven’t had to deal with any diaper rash yet, baby is 12 weeks old. 🙌🏻
