 So I think the Ooby still does a good job of keeping the scent inside of it because the door slides open but it does not have a foot pedal. The other two have the foot pedal so it's kind of hands-free. The Ooby is not hands-free. You have to slide it open with a hand, dump the diaper in, slide it closed with a hand

 The Ooby is not hands-free. You have to slide it open with a hand, dump the diaper in, slide it closed with a hand. So it's a little less convenient as far as the quickness factor of getting that dirty diaper in there but I do like the size of it. I like the style options of it and I like that I can just use a regular garbage bag with it

 So it's a little less convenient as far as the quickness factor of getting that dirty diaper in there but I do like the size of it. I like the style options of it and I like that I can just use a regular garbage bag with it. And the last diaper pail that we're going to talk about is this decor one here and this one I just got a few months ago like I said and when I found it online I was really excited because it seems like the best of both of these worlds and in my experience it kind of is. It has a foot pedal so it's hands-free and it has a lock on top so your toddler can't get in and out of the diaper pail

 If you're new here, my name is Ebeth and I am currently, as I'm recording this, I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my second baby girl and I am feeling it. I could go into labor any day now, so stay tuned to make sure you're following me on Instagram for updates. On this channel, I share a lot of mommy lifestyle content as well as several reviews like this one, so I would love it if you consider subscribing, joining the online family, and giving this video a thumbs up. The three diaper pails that we're going to be talking about is the Diaper Genie, the Ubi, and the Decor

The best diaper pail 2021| Mom Reviews Diaper Genie, Ubbi, Dekor | Baby Registry Must Have

Why do I even bother with this thing?

 I was a little bummed out that I had to open the diaper pail with my hands as opposed to having a foot pedal, but that wasn't such a big deal for me. I really wanted to like the Ubbi because it's an American company and it's not made of plastic. And it was great for about the first month but then it really started to stink. I tried adding baking soda to the bag

 I used the Member's Mark tall kitchen bags from Sam's club and they definitely don't work. Maybe a name brand trash bag like Hefty, or Glad would work better? This Ubbi pail will probably last longer than the plastic Diaper Genie, but you still have to use the Diaper Genie bags for odor control.

 And it was great for about the first month but then it really started to stink. I tried adding baking soda to the bag. I tried using two bags each with baking soda in them. I tried spraying the can with Lysol when I threw out the trash

 I tried using plastic shopping bags and changing the bags every other day. I even washed it thoroughly with dish soap and baking soda and let it completely dry out in our very dry climate. All to no avail. It just stinks! Pun intended

 All to no avail. It just stinks! Pun intended. Even after I had just washed it, it still stunk. I finally tried using the left over bags I had from my Diaper Genie by simply tying a knot at the bottom and cutting off the appropriate length

Ubbi vs. Diaper Genie

Ubbi Diaper Pail Review - Babylist

1. Scissor type nail cutters. I initially got the Safety First Deluxe nursery kit so I thought the nail clipper in that would be okay. Yeah, I underestimated how difficult they would be on a sleeping newborn with the world’s sharpest nails. One cut finger (baby’s first booboo) and I immediately got the scissors. I got the piyopiyo mail scissors from BBB. 
2. A movable bassinet. I know the halo bassinet is so much more expensive, and I thought I could get away with a less expensive bassinet. It was more important to me to be able to put baby in and out of the bed from the bassinet so I got one that was leveled to our bed (Beside me sleeper). Little did I know how difficult the pain after birth was, and to top it off, I got an infection. It was also easier to put baby in and out of bed standing. Y’all, get a rotating bassinet so you can smoothly swing away without waking to put him/her in and out, standing. 
3. Diaper genie. Baby has yet to have really stinky poops (only 5mo old), but the diaper genie keeps it all in one place. When there’s a blowout diaper, there’s no good way to wrap it up nicely and throw it away without getting poop all over the trash bag. It alsoprevents the other trash cans from filling up. I had to dig through the trash for a $100 Target gift card that I had accidentally thrown away (mommy brain) and that would have been horrible with dirty diapers. 
4. Smart lights and plugs. We’ve finally started sleep training and it’s so easy to turn on the lamp (1% brightness), nightlight globe, and humidifier by voice or on my phone. No bending or reaching with a sleeping baby in my arms, trying to get him in the crib. 
5. Floor bouncer. I was given two of these and I wasn’t sure if I was going to use them at all. Turned out that was the main way to get baby to sleep from 2mo-4mo. He napped in a cheap Fisher price bouncer and the vibration was like baby ambien. It was easy enough to put in the car easily and bring to grandmas house too. 
6. Medicine. Mom friends got us the little remedies kit when they didn’t see it in my registry. Thank goodness. We went through so much mylicon and gripe water in the beginning. We still give it to baby once a day. He’s got mad gas y’all. 

Things I definitely didn’t need: 
1. tons of bath products. Just get 1 fragrance free wash and lotion and call it a day. We ended up getting a bunch of eczema specific stuff and now I don’t know what to do with all these products that I used once. 
2. Multiple pacifiers. Just go with whatever the hospital recommends and get a bunch. 
3. Too many onesies and pants. Maybe get two or three in a given size, but rompers and footie/footless pajamas as so much easier. Also shoes anyone else hate buttons as much as I do? I love the two way zippers. 

What about you guys? I’m curious to know more about the Didn’t Need list.

Mom of a 5mo old! Here’s what I’ve come to find I really needed, even though I thought I didn’t. Also here are some things I didn’t need at all!

 Plus the smell as you struggle to remove the bag is unforgettable, it will haunt your dreams. It was annoying to invest in something so well reviewed and costly, only to deal with the mess of cleaning it, and eventual replacement. We are much happier with a cheaper pail that we also selected at Target.

One year later, the smell of this pail became intolerable. We maintained it. We tried everything to clean it. Nothing worked! The use of regular trash bags isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, either

Trust the negative reviews.

 It's very simple. Whenever you're ready to take it out, you would just literally pull it up. But I have some more room in there, so I'm not gonna take it out right now. But guys, oh my gosh, the smell

 But I have some more room in there, so I'm not gonna take it out right now. But guys, oh my gosh, the smell. Let's hurry up and close that thing up. I'm telling you, you don't know how much of a lifesaver this thing is until you open it

 Let's hurry up and close that thing up. I'm telling you, you don't know how much of a lifesaver this thing is until you open it. I'm telling you guys, you don't know how bad these diapers smell until you open up the Ubi. Like, seriously, it really, really, really smells terrible

 So if you want to open it, boop, you pop it open. You can see my trash bag there. It's very simple. Whenever you're ready to take it out, you would just literally pull it up

Ubbi Diaper Pail Review  Honest and Raw Review

This subreddit was tremendously helpful as I prepped for my baby, so I have taken everything I've learned over the last 4 months and typed it all up for you.
It might be scary, exciting, and definitely overwhelming to welcome a new human into your home. The following suggestions are based on my experience alone, and you almost certainly will have different needs based on the circumstances of your life. 
I personally wanted to have everything purchased for my baby before her birth because I knew there would be plenty we couldn’t prepare for. This really set us up for success, or in the least, it probably prevented a nervous breakdown. There were so many unanticipated difficulties in the first few weeks of my baby’s life, and being prepared meant we could focus all of our energy on those immediate needs and not on shopping for basics. With that said, hope this helps!


Items you will want purchased and ready before your baby comes home. 

°Carseat. I ended up buying the Chicco Keyfit 30. Reliable, safe, and won’t break the bank. Can be made compatible with many strollers. Was considering the uppababy Mesa, but people said it was heavy and the price was a bit high. 

°Bottles. Make sure you have a few sterilized and ready to go. Plan on breastfeeding? Still have bottles on hand, you may need them sooner than you think. Every lactation consultant I met with recommended the narrow neck Dr. Brown's anti colic bottles with the Preemie nipples. We still use them, and they are a little leaky, but work great for my baby. BTW don’t throw out the little round plastic disks that come with them, they are meant to keep the milk in the bottle when you travel (I didn’t realize and tossed them, but bought travel lids on amazon).

°Formula. Sign up for some free formula samples from similac or enfamil. Baby’s third night of life is HELL - they will either cluster feed to bring in your milk, or just scream all night and starve themselves like my baby did. You could also get a small pack of “ready to feed” formula, which is already constituted and just needs a disposable nipple added. 

°Bassinet. I bought the arm's reach clear vue, and really liked that I didn’t have to bend over much and it is a very safe bassinet. Price was a bit higher than I would have liked. Obviously I wish I had the snoo, but I couldn’t justify buying one. We moved my baby to her crib around 2-3 months old, so it’s not like you’re going to be married to your bassinet choice. My baby was a very loud sleeper as a newborn, lots of grunting, so moving her to her crib in her own room was the best way for all of us to get some sleep. It is recommended to keep them in your room until 6 months old, but it is not the end of the world if you need to move them out sooner. 

°Pump. Have your pump up and ready. Do your best to understand the settings. I got the Spectra S1 which is “portable” and it is really wonderful to not be stuck on the wall. I found a retailer who would cover this model under my insurance, but most others would only cover the S2. Also I bought some Philips Avent bottles which are compatible with the spectra. If you get a pump, you will need a pumping bra. The pump’s suction is not strong enough to hold the flanges to your breasts, so unless you want to sit there for 15 minutes holding them in place, you will need a pumping bra to hold the flanges to your body.

°Baby clothes. I’ve seen much debate online about if you should skip buying newborn clothes and only buy 0-3. My baby was born at 7 lbs 14 oz, and then lost weight and was very slow to gain weight. She was in her newborn clothing for 6 weeks! She is a very skinny and long baby, so I am glad I bought enough newborn clothing for her until she was ready for 0-3. I suggest spending the extra $20-$30 on newborn clothing - pajamas, onesies, and pants - because if you do need it, you’ll be glad you have it. You should also have 0-3 size clothing washed and ready in case you have a larger than expected baby! If you want, you can just start off with a lot of zip up pajamas. It's a bit easier than coordinating onesies with pants. I bought an assortment of Carter's pajamas and Target pajamas. Having at least 9 pairs of pajamas in each size is a good amount so you don't have to do laundry too often. 

°Diapers. The newborn stage is a great time to test out different diaper brands because people tend to give diapers as gifts. I didn’t like the Honest brand - too leaky. My hospital sent us home with Huggies which I like and use. I bought some Huggies when they were on sale at Costco, and I also use the Costco Kirkland brand of diapers because they’re cheaper. Another great purchase is the Costco Kirkland wipes. PS: Costco has online delivery and will send these straight to your front door. 

°Changing pad. I have friends who said they’d change their newborn on their bed over a portable cloth changing pad, but I always changed her in her nursery on her changing table. I love the skip hop changing pad which is made of foam and wipes clean. Amazing and worth the money. Sometimes she “floods” her changing pad and we can just wipe it clean and then use lysol spray to sterilize it. 

°Diaper Pail. I wanted the Ubbi Diaper Pail, and someone on Facebook was giving theirs away for free! I like that it can hold any bag and doesn’t require Ubbi’s brand of bags. 

°Sound Machine. Your baby just spent 9 months in a dark, loud environment. The loud white noise helps soothe them, and you will want a sound machine for all naps and sleep. I bought the Hatch sound machine because that seemed to be highly rated. It’s neat because it has an app where you can manage the settings like light, sound, and volume. It’s fab. 

°Swaddles. Babies are uncoordinated little creatures and will kick, thrash, and wiggle during their sleep. My little one was a real kicker, and could break out of the cloth swaddles we used at the hospital. The velcro swaddles worked great for her, and I even fed her while swaddled because she ate well while being contained. You’ll want more than you think, 6 is a good start, because your baby will get those swaddles dirty. I also bought cloth swaddles from Aden and Anais, and Husdon. Even if you don’t use them for swaddling, they can keep the baby warm in their carseat. 

°Burp Cloths. To be honest, it doesn’t really matter what brand or type you get. You just need something soft to catch any spit up, vomit, or drool - and get enough of them because they will need to be laundered quickly. I also bought receiving blankets, and still really don’t understand their purpose, so feel free to skip purchasing those. 

°Baby Towels + Shampoo. Our hospital did not give our baby a bath, so we got home and eventually realized she smelled really bad. You’ll want some baby sized towels (they usually have a little hood on them), which are soft and gentle on your baby’s skin. We use the Cetaphil baby shampoo, and it is great! 

°Nail Clipper. I bought an electric baby nail filer and it was perfect for the baby’s first few weeks when I was too scared to use an actual nail clipper or scissor. I really like the Frida nail scissors, and exclusively use that to trim her nails now. I like to do it either while she’s eating, or right afterward. 



There are a number of items you do not need to purchase before the baby is born, but you will likely want to buy at some point. 


°Stroller. This is a heated one. Everyone has their own opinions on strollers. I live in a city and mostly drive, but our sidewalks are bumpy and not well paved. I chose to buy the Uppababy Cruz. Friends who bought the Vista love it, but said it is not a good double stroller because it’s too heavy to push. Knowing that, I chose the cheaper and lighter option - the Cruz - and bought a used bassinet insert on facebook marketplace for $30. I also bought the Chicco Keyfit Caddy stroller that is compatible with her carseat. You are not supposed to leave a baby in their carseat outside of the car - I am a medical professional, I know this, and prior to giving birth I thought I wouldn’t do this. But now that I have a real baby, the thought of waking her to transfer her to her Uppababy stroller doesn’t sit well with me. So, if I am running into the pediatrician office or to the grocery store, I pop the carseat on the Caddy and am on my way. If you do this, the baby must be strapped in properly into her carseat to avoid positional asphyxiation. I just took my first flight with the baby and kept her in her carseat+caddy through the airport, then checked the Caddy stroller at the gate. It worked perfectly! 

°Crib. I bought a beautiful Pottery Barn crib on craigslist for $200. They also gave me a lightly used mattress. Score! I’m still proud of this purchase. You’ll also need sheets for your crib, bassinet and pack ‘n play if you buy one. 

°Rocking chair. My dad gifted me a la-z-boy recliner, and it is amazing. I got one with material that is easy to clean, and it rocks and reclines. We purchased it while I was still early in my pregnancy, so I was able to enjoy it throughout my whole pregnancy and beyond. Babies love repetitive movement, so you will spend lots of time rocking your newborn. 

°Baby Container. It’s a funny term, but it basically refers to anywhere you can safely place your baby so you can still do things like go to the bathroom, or shower. Could be a pack ‘n play, a swing, or a bouncy chair. Someone gave me their swing, and it turns out my baby LOVES movement. She took many supervised naps in her swing when she was a newborn. I also bought a used Baby Bjorn bouncer chair on Facebook Marketplace and we use it every day - it’s very pricey when brand new, and even used, but a great product. We also have a now recalled Boppy Lounger. It was a nice product to have because I could prop my baby up on it while giving her a bottle to help with her reflux, or for her to chill next to me on my bed. The recall makes sense, any sort of pillow is inherently unsafe, even the dock-a-tot. But I’m not too heartbroken because my dog loves to sleep on the Boppy, so at least it’s not a waste. 

°Audio &amp;/or Video Monitor. Once you move your baby to their own room, you need a reliable way to make sure you can hear them. Video monitors really are not necessary, but we got the very affordable Wyze camera which runs on wifi. It has an app so I can open my phone to check on her when she’s in her crib. For audio, we got the Vtech monitor with two receivers, so my husband and I can both listen for her from different rooms. I have no complaints, it’s a great audio monitor. 

°Baby Carrier. When your baby is a newborn, they will love the warmth and comfort of being held against you. It’s great to have a carrier to wear your baby in during witching hour, when they just scream for no reason. I bought a used Baby Bjorn heavy duty carrier on facebook Marketplace, and it’s good for an older baby. But for a newborn, I recommend trying out a wrap or a sling carrier. The first time I saw someone put on a wrap, I thought it was for sure too complicated for me to replicate. I wanted to test it out, and bought the Solly Wrap used from someone on facebook. People recommended the Solly because the fabric is soft and not too hot for the baby. After watching a youtube video on how to wrap it, it was no big deal! Even my husband figured out how to wrap it. If you can borrow one from a friend or buy one used, I recommend trying a wrap and seeing if your baby enjoys it. 

°Bottle Rack and Brush. At some point you will probably introduce a bottle, and then need to clean it. I did not find that any particular brush is better than others, any generic one will do. I like the boon drying rack we have because it is large, but I also don’t think the brand of drying rack is too significant. 

°Dish soap and Detergent. I am not certain whether or not it’s actually necessary to buy baby specific dish soap and detergent, but I like them because they are very gentle. 
Baby Bath. You don’t actually need a baby specific bathtub, but I bought a few different types for next to nothing on facebook marketplace. This one is totally up to you! You may also want some baby wash cloths to wipe down your baby’s body with warm soapy water. 

°Car mirror and window shade. Get yourself a mirror so you can see your baby in the car while you’re driving. And you may also want to put a shade on your car window so the sun is not directly on your baby’s face. 

°Thermometer and baby tylenol. You can use your adult thermometer on your baby, but I am glad to have an exclusive baby one that I keep in the nursery. You may also want to buy infant tylenol to give after their first set of shots. 

°Aquaphor. Diaper rash? Put on aquaphor. Just gave out of the bath? Lather that baby up with Aquaphor. Scratched her face with her razor sharp talons? Aquaphor. 

°Lunch box and ice packs. Eventually you’ll need to leave the house, and it’s nice to have a designated lunch box and ice packs for their milk that you can throw in the diaper bag or bring solo. 

°Play mat. You can really just stick your baby on your carpet or a blanket for tummy time, but having a playmat with toys and lights is a great plus! I got the fisher price piano kick mat. 

°Nursing Pillows. I tried both the Boppy pillow and My Breast Friend pillow, and honestly had no preference. The Boppy is a softer plush material and is the same shape all around, and the My Breast Friend is very firm with two head supports for the baby. Jokes on me, because my baby decided she didn’t want to nurse after 6 weeks, so those pillows are now gathering dust in her closet. And that’s how combo feeding life (pumped milk and formula) chose me. 

°Pitcher. I’m obsessed with the most simple little creation - the Dr. Brown’s mixing pitcher. In the morning, we use the pitcher to make all the formula we will use over the next 24 hours. It saves so much time when your baby is screaming for their next meal. 

°Pacifiers. Oh, I wish my baby would take a pacifier. We tried out lots of different types, and every medical professional suggested the Philips Soothie pacifier. However, just like with nursing, my baby decided the pacifier wasn’t her thing. Maybe yours will take to it!

°Diaper bag and portable changing pad. You do not actually need a diaper bag, but you’ll realize that every time you leave the house with your baby you will need diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, milk, and a burp cloth. You’ll probably forget something, but you can minimize that risk by keeping everything in a designated diaper bag. You’ll also want a portable changing pad, or even doggy pee pads that you can easily toss after using. I keep doggy poop bags in my diaper bag because most doctors' offices won’t allow you to toss a dirty diaper in their trash can. 


I hope this has been helpful in getting ready to bring your baby home! New mom's need all the support they can get, so feel free to ask me questions in the comments!

<div class="md">This subreddit was tremendously helpful as I prepped for my baby, so I have taken everything I&#39;ve learned over the last 4 months and typed it all up for you.
It might be scary, exciting, and definitely overwhelming to welcome a new human into your home. The following suggestions are based on my experience alone, and you almost certainly will have different needs based on the circumstances of your life. 
I personally wanted to have everything purchased for my baby before her birth because I knew there would be plenty we couldn’t prepare for. This really set us up for success, or in the least, it probably prevented a nervous breakdown. There were so many unanticipated difficulties in the first few weeks of my baby’s life, and being prepared meant we could focus all of our energy on those immediate needs and not on shopping for basics. With that said, hope this helps!

Items you will want purchased and ready before your baby comes home. 

°Carseat. I ended up buying the Chicco Keyfit 30. Reliable, safe, and won’t break the bank. Can be made compatible with many strollers. Was considering the uppababy Mesa, but people said it was heavy and the price was a bit high. 

°Bottles. Make sure you have a few sterilized and ready to go. Plan on breastfeeding? Still have bottles on hand, you may need them sooner than you think. Every lactation consultant I met with recommended the narrow neck Dr. Brown&#39;s anti colic bottles with the Preemie nipples. We still use them, and they are a little leaky, but work great for my baby. BTW don’t throw out the little round plastic disks that come with them, they are meant to keep the milk in the bottle when you travel (I didn’t realize and tossed them, but bought travel lids on amazon).

°Formula. Sign up for some free formula samples from similac or enfamil. Baby’s third night of life is HELL - they will either cluster feed to bring in your milk, or just scream all night and starve themselves like my baby did. You could also get a small pack of “ready to feed” formula, which is already constituted and just needs a disposable nipple added. 

°Bassinet. I bought the arm&#39;s reach clear vue, and really liked that I didn’t have to bend over much and it is a very safe bassinet. Price was a bit higher than I would have liked. Obviously I wish I had the snoo, but I couldn’t justify buying one. We moved my baby to her crib around 2-3 months old, so it’s not like you’re going to be married to your bassinet choice. My baby was a very loud sleeper as a newborn, lots of grunting, so moving her to her crib in her own room was the best way for all of us to get some sleep. It is recommended to keep them in your room until 6 months old, but it is not the end of the world if you need to move them out sooner. 

°Pump. Have your pump up and ready. Do your best to understand the settings. I got the Spectra S1 which is “portable” and it is really wonderful to not be stuck on the wall. I found a retailer who would cover this model under my insurance, but most others would only cover the S2. Also I bought some Philips Avent bottles which are compatible with the spectra. If you get a pump, you will need a pumping bra. The pump’s suction is not strong enough to hold the flanges to your breasts, so unless you want to sit there for 15 minutes holding them in place, you will need a pumping bra to hold the flanges to your body.

°Baby clothes. I’ve seen much debate online about if you should skip buying newborn clothes and only buy 0-3. My baby was born at 7 lbs 14 oz, and then lost weight and was very slow to gain weight. She was in her newborn clothing for 6 weeks! She is a very skinny and long baby, so I am glad I bought enough newborn clothing for her until she was ready for 0-3. I suggest spending the extra $20-$30 on newborn clothing - pajamas, onesies, and pants - because if you do need it, you’ll be glad you have it. You should also have 0-3 size clothing washed and ready in case you have a larger than expected baby! If you want, you can just start off with a lot of zip up pajamas. It&#39;s a bit easier than coordinating onesies with pants. I bought an assortment of Carter&#39;s pajamas and Target pajamas. Having at least 9 pairs of pajamas in each size is a good amount so you don&#39;t have to do laundry too often. 

°Diapers. The newborn stage is a great time to test out different diaper brands because people tend to give diapers as gifts. I didn’t like the Honest brand - too leaky. My hospital sent us home with Huggies which I like and use. I bought some Huggies when they were on sale at Costco, and I also use the Costco Kirkland brand of diapers because they’re cheaper. Another great purchase is the Costco Kirkland wipes. PS: Costco has online delivery and will send these straight to your front door. 

°Changing pad. I have friends who said they’d change their newborn on their bed over a portable cloth changing pad, but I always changed her in her nursery on her changing table. I love the skip hop changing pad which is made of foam and wipes clean. Amazing and worth the money. Sometimes she “floods” her changing pad and we can just wipe it clean and then use lysol spray to sterilize it. 

°Diaper Pail. I wanted the Ubbi Diaper Pail, and someone on Facebook was giving theirs away for free! I like that it can hold any bag and doesn’t require Ubbi’s brand of bags. 

°Sound Machine. Your baby just spent 9 months in a dark, loud environment. The loud white noise helps soothe them, and you will want a sound machine for all naps and sleep. I bought the Hatch sound machine because that seemed to be highly rated. It’s neat because it has an app where you can manage the settings like light, sound, and volume. It’s fab. 

°Swaddles. Babies are uncoordinated little creatures and will kick, thrash, and wiggle during their sleep. My little one was a real kicker, and could break out of the cloth swaddles we used at the hospital. The velcro swaddles worked great for her, and I even fed her while swaddled because she ate well while being contained. You’ll want more than you think, 6 is a good start, because your baby will get those swaddles dirty. I also bought cloth swaddles from Aden and Anais, and Husdon. Even if you don’t use them for swaddling, they can keep the baby warm in their carseat. 

°Burp Cloths. To be honest, it doesn’t really matter what brand or type you get. You just need something soft to catch any spit up, vomit, or drool - and get enough of them because they will need to be laundered quickly. I also bought receiving blankets, and still really don’t understand their purpose, so feel free to skip purchasing those. 

°Baby Towels + Shampoo. Our hospital did not give our baby a bath, so we got home and eventually realized she smelled really bad. You’ll want some baby sized towels (they usually have a little hood on them), which are soft and gentle on your baby’s skin. We use the Cetaphil baby shampoo, and it is great! 

°Nail Clipper. I bought an electric baby nail filer and it was perfect for the baby’s first few weeks when I was too scared to use an actual nail clipper or scissor. I really like the Frida nail scissors, and exclusively use that to trim her nails now. I like to do it either while she’s eating, or right afterward. 

There are a number of items you do not need to purchase before the baby is born, but you will likely want to buy at some point. 

°Stroller. This is a heated one. Everyone has their own opinions on strollers. I live in a city and mostly drive, but our sidewalks are bumpy and not well paved. I chose to buy the Uppababy Cruz. Friends who bought the Vista love it, but said it is not a good double stroller because it’s too heavy to push. Knowing that, I chose the cheaper and lighter option - the Cruz - and bought a used bassinet insert on facebook marketplace for $30. I also bought the Chicco Keyfit Caddy stroller that is compatible with her carseat. You are not supposed to leave a baby in their carseat outside of the car - I am a medical professional, I know this, and prior to giving birth I thought I wouldn’t do this. But now that I have a real baby, the thought of waking her to transfer her to her Uppababy stroller doesn’t sit well with me. So, if I am running into the pediatrician office or to the grocery store, I pop the carseat on the Caddy and am on my way. If you do this, the baby must be strapped in properly into her carseat to avoid positional asphyxiation. I just took my first flight with the baby and kept her in her carseat+caddy through the airport, then checked the Caddy stroller at the gate. It worked perfectly! 

°Crib. I bought a beautiful Pottery Barn crib on craigslist for $200. They also gave me a lightly used mattress. Score! I’m still proud of this purchase. You’ll also need sheets for your crib, bassinet and pack ‘n play if you buy one. 

°Rocking chair. My dad gifted me a la-z-boy recliner, and it is amazing. I got one with material that is easy to clean, and it rocks and reclines. We purchased it while I was still early in my pregnancy, so I was able to enjoy it throughout my whole pregnancy and beyond. Babies love repetitive movement, so you will spend lots of time rocking your newborn. 

°Baby Container. It’s a funny term, but it basically refers to anywhere you can safely place your baby so you can still do things like go to the bathroom, or shower. Could be a pack ‘n play, a swing, or a bouncy chair. Someone gave me their swing, and it turns out my baby LOVES movement. She took many supervised naps in her swing when she was a newborn. I also bought a used Baby Bjorn bouncer chair on Facebook Marketplace and we use it every day - it’s very pricey when brand new, and even used, but a great product. We also have a now recalled Boppy Lounger. It was a nice product to have because I could prop my baby up on it while giving her a bottle to help with her reflux, or for her to chill next to me on my bed. The recall makes sense, any sort of pillow is inherently unsafe, even the dock-a-tot. But I’m not too heartbroken because my dog loves to sleep on the Boppy, so at least it’s not a waste. 

°Audio &amp;/or Video Monitor. Once you move your baby to their own room, you need a reliable way to make sure you can hear them. Video monitors really are not necessary, but we got the very affordable Wyze camera which runs on wifi. It has an app so I can open my phone to check on her when she’s in her crib. For audio, we got the Vtech monitor with two receivers, so my husband and I can both listen for her from different rooms. I have no complaints, it’s a great audio monitor. 

°Baby Carrier. When your baby is a newborn, they will love the warmth and comfort of being held against you. It’s great to have a carrier to wear your baby in during witching hour, when they just scream for no reason. I bought a used Baby Bjorn heavy duty carrier on facebook Marketplace, and it’s good for an older baby. But for a newborn, I recommend trying out a wrap or a sling carrier. The first time I saw someone put on a wrap, I thought it was for sure too complicated for me to replicate. I wanted to test it out, and bought the Solly Wrap used from someone on facebook. People recommended the Solly because the fabric is soft and not too hot for the baby. After watching a youtube video on how to wrap it, it was no big deal! Even my husband figured out how to wrap it. If you can borrow one from a friend or buy one used, I recommend trying a wrap and seeing if your baby enjoys it.

My Holy Grail of Baby Prep Info for you!

Excellent idea but poor execution

 By pulling it, it's tight. Oh, I've come off the front. Doesn't matter so much. Trying to do this again, famously, one-handed

 So this opens up very easily, as you see it's dirty diapers inside, and it locks, stopping it from being opened. It's all very good. It's very easy to put these particular bags in and out, and I will show you how I do that. So first of all, I'm going to take the old one out, tie this up, and off we go

 Now this is the trick that I've come up with. Fold these down about like so, bring this forward a little bit, and take these flaps underneath here, one of them there, like so, and the other one up like so, and then pull it. By pulling it, it's tight. Oh, I've come off the front

 There we go, like so. Now all I have to do is lift up this part and tuck this in here, and those two flaps, like so. Now this is the trick that I've come up with. Fold these down about like so, bring this forward a little bit, and take these flaps underneath here, one of them there, like so, and the other one up like so, and then pull it
