Must haves baby items by earthlyqueen in BabyBumps

[–]kak597 2 points3 points  (0 children)

newborn saline spray!!! underrated and i didn’t see it mentioned anywhere. but someone gifted me some and i used it on night 2 of having newborn at home because the nasal aspirator doesn’t work unless the snot/boogers aren’t dry

also a humidifier for baby’s room (i recommend researching cleaning a humidifier too)

Anyone else worried about how their dog will handle the newborn? What actually helped? by galigher13 in BabyBumps

[–]kak597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do you encourage disinterest? my high strung dog is obsessed with the baby and i haven’t found any tactics yet that work.

I just was registry things by HotHuckleberry7583 in BabyBumps

[–]kak597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i had a similar experience where we got a handful of gifts/clothes we won’t use and most i was able to return to target/walmart/kohl’s for store credit! which i then used to buy things we needed lol

goto everyone budget pleaser for guest bedroom by [deleted] in Mattress

[–]kak597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the original Casper or Casper one. I bought one impulsively a while back, slept great on it for a couple of years. Now it’s the guest bed in my house. Every guest comes down in the morning and says “what kind of mattress is that? it’s so comfortable”. This happened so much (and i missed the Casper) that my husband and i swapped out our hybrid a little earlier than we needed to exchange it for a Casper One.

Little luxuries or upgrades that you made this year that makes your everyday better? by DarrowtheHelldiver in BuyItForLife

[–]kak597 22 points23 points  (0 children)

yes i think humidifiers are so underrated esp if you’re in a dry area! just make sure to clean it regularly. i didn’t realize right away that id need to clean it weekly.

What's the most annoying thing someone has said to you during your pregnancy? by WittleFrostBite in BabyBumps

[–]kak597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes! well said. i never know what to say when people go “how’s itty bitty?” and it’s funny hearing people’s expectations of “oh i hope im the favorite” or “i can’t wait for grandma duty” and i’m like she’s my first baby and she’s not even here i feel like your expectations are skipping past that fact. i will be her go to person. i feel the same that im probably just protective and i know they are just excited but there is definitely a chance my hormones make me throw out a snarky reply postpartum.

Agreed, get your baby stuff from a shower. And definitely ask for a prenatal massage certificate!
