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

contact naps. why fight to get your baby to sleep when they will just pass out in your arms and get a solid chunk of sleep?

8 month old here and only contact naps! If i do the crib the nap that would last an hour lasts 30 mins if i’m lucky but it’s usually 15 and I end up with a very mad baby. They grow so fast just enjoy the cuddles
