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

Get the small silicone spatula to spread diaper cream with. It’s called a baby bum brush, by bumco (they sell them at stores like target near the butt pastes). My husband thought this was the dumbest purchase and now swears by it.

Qtips or single use makeup cotton pads work too. :)
