My recommendations to future parents

This is from a dad’s perspective. Not saying this is the best for everyone, but it’s what I wish I would have known going in.get a bassinet with wheels, a vibrate function and a light.Don’t buy a bunch of bottles of all one kind or what you want to use. Your baby will choose the nipple style they like.Nanit pro is a great camera. The nightlight, sound machine option, 2 way audio, and alerts are great. (Have not used the breathing band yet).Halo sleepsack swaddlers are a lifesaver for us. Get 2 or 3 not just one.3 or 4 pacifers are not enough. Your baby will be spitting them out and you can never catch them. Like bottles your baby will choose what pacifer he wants. We use the Philips advent ones. I’ve also decided I love the leash for the pacifer and will clip it onto me or his outfit when I’m up walking around with him.Get a sterilizer. Bigger the better imo.I wish we would have gotten a double wide dresser. The top of ours only fits the changing pad.Skinny baby’s we have found pampers works the best for us. Can’t comment on chubby baby’s yet but it seems like Huggies.If you’re pumping get 3 or 4 sets of parts. No one wants to wash parts at 3am.2 way zipper clothes. Fuck snaps. Enough said.Wipe warmers are a godsend. Anything to prevent my baby from screaming during the diaper change. Oh and about diaper changes. Go AS FAST AS YOU CAN. And frill out those things around the legs. Open up two diapers before you start instead of one.Burping. It’s not so much about the pats as it is pressing their abdomen to your chest and slowly moving their head to your shoulder.This is just what I came up with real quick at a fun 3am feeding. via /r/pregnant https://ift.tt/vp6Q4nk
