Baby Gear 101: What to Buy, Borrow and Request

Life can be overwhelming, there are lots of curve balls. Things get complicated but before you get too overwhelmed take a breath and listen. You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers. A little guidance just might go a long way. When dealing with life’s biggest moments, we could all use a little simple advice. There is so much baby gear on the market, yes, how do I navigate this new world? Well I think first you need to know that you don’t have to buy everything, you can actually borrow some things. So for example, baby clothes, bassinets, sometimes even strollers, that way you’re saving on those items that she’s not gonna use long term and you can actually use those dollars towards things that she will use. So our house looks like one big nursery, we have baby stuff everywhere. She’s really only interested in like a handful of toys, what do we do with all this extra stuff? Good question, uh, you might want to consider recycling it or even selling it to the consignment store and then that way you have some money for the next wave of baby gear Quinn is going to need. You can even invest in something like a camera to capture the memories, you want to document every last thing that Quinn does at this time of your life, and uh sometimes when you’re sleep deprived you forget but having that camera is probably going to be more valuable long-term than the baby stuff that’s accumulating in your house. That’s definitely true. So it’s all about being creative and finding ways to save money and use that money somewhere else. Welcome to the Aune nursery or Quinn’s nursery the one that no one ever uses.
