Nesting Strategy: Baby Health Essentials ⬇️
i swear, this was a shirt 9 months ago 🤭 At least i swear, this was a shirt 9 months ago 🤭 At least I managed to get my daily steps in while tolereting the painful third-trimester waddle and giving the neighborhood (and online) elders their daily dose of drama. (Hi there! The heat is unbearable kaya! ✌🏼) #pregnancydiary #thirdtrimester #momtobe2026 #healthypregnancy #pregnancyexercise
nesting is about preparing for the mom, too 😌 Whe nesting is about preparing for the mom, too 😌 When we think about nesting, it’s so easy to get caught up in baby gear and forget about the person doing the hardest work: mom. 🧺🤍 For my own pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding setup, I applied the exact same “wait-and-see” minimalist approach. Instead of a massive haul, I’ve curated just a few highly functional, ultra-delicate essentials to help my body heal and transition comfortably. This actually ties right into my procurement strategy for newborn health. Today on the blog, I’m sharing how we approached prepping our health essentials with a core focus on warmth, comfort, and intentionality. 🪵🩹 🔗 Tap the link in my bio to read the new post: Our Nesting Strategy: How to Plan for Your Newborn Health Essentials (https://yannapaz.com/our-nesting-strategy-how-to-plan-for-your-newborn-health-essentials/) Mamas, what was the one postpartum or breastfeeding item you absolutely couldn’t live without? Let me know below! 👇🏼 #nesting #postpartumcare #fourthtrimester #pregnancydiary #momtobe2026
Our baby is fully baked, just in time for an amazi Our baby is fully baked, just in time for an amazing day just for you. Happy Father’s Day, my love @cjaysuratos! What a way to celebrate your first 🎉 I’ll never get tired of saying this again and again — i’m pleased I get to experience motherhood with you, i’m grateful I get to witness you as you embrace being a papa, and I’m blessed that I get to share this beautiful life with you; earning our “parents” suffix in a few days is nothing short of exciting!!! I love you a million times, and… i appreciate how you prioritize our checkups and lab tests 🤍; your patience and care to me, with swollen feet or none, made me fall in love with you all over again and that I’ll never take it for granted; i love how you want to make sure of everything — that I get a good night’s sleep, my tumbler is filled, and my food is well cooked through 🥹; i thank you for giving in to my requests and to just have fun here and there, even if we’d wake up guilty with swollen faces and higher number on our scale, because we’re simply just kids inside 🤪; the way you prepare for our little one? I just cannot let it go unnoticed 🫶🏼; this version of you I’m getting to know more about is amazing. You’re steadfast through and through, and who would’ve thought you’re capable of loving more that it overflows to our beautiful boy?; i’ll never forget the way you tell how our day went to our little one, always with a mild and caring voice, and with great anticipation that we’d be sharing experiences with him soon 🐥; and just the idea of you being a papa? i could just smile all day thinking about what things you’d teach our boy — painting and fixing furnitures with a tad bit of humor included 😜; your love to my family is beyond what I imagined. Thank you, a million times 🤍; you inspire me to never let go of my own passion despite being in between things, stuck somewhere, or on the verge of outgrowing myself. I always admire you for that 👏🏻; for choosing us every single day? Wow. Lika kiss kita 😘
no need for an aisle of products for baby’s hygien no need for an aisle of products for baby’s hygiene There is something so therapeutic about washing tiny clothes and setting up a cutesy little bath station. But just like our wardrobe and diaper setups, I kept our bathing, laundry, and hygiene essentials strictly curated. 🫧 Newborn skin is so delicate, so my “wait-and-see” philosophy applies here too. Instead of stocking up on massive jugs of products, we chose a few ultra-gentle, fragrance-free staples for the early weeks. I think we have exactly what we need to bring baby home, with plenty of room to adapt as we consult our pedia and learn his preferences. 🔗 The full breakdown of our minimalist newborn inventory—including the math behind our diaper stash and wardrobe rotation—is live on the blog! Tap the link in my bio to check it out. Mamas, what’s your absolute holy grail, must-have product for baby hygiene or laundry? Drop your recommendations below! 👇🏼 #nesting #babyhygiene #pregnancydiary #thirdtrimester #firsttimeparents
stopping here as we wait for our baby to arrive 🍼🧷 stopping here as we wait for our baby to arrive 🍼🧷 When it comes to feeding gear and diapering supplies, it is so easy to overbuy. But I’m a firm believer in the “wait-and-see” philosophy. Every baby is different, so instead of hoarding every gadget and diaper brand on the market, we’ve stocked just the absolute essentials for the early weeks. Our main strategy? Keeping things highly functional and budget-smart with a streamlined bottle station and a hyper-strategic diaper stash. We’re balancing affordable daytime staples with premium overnight lockdowns like Millie Moon (shoutout to midnight voucher shopping!). 🌙✨ We have just enough to feel completely prepared for day one, without overcrowding our space. Once baby is here, we’ll see what they actually prefer and adjust from there. 🔗 I’m breaking down the exact items we chose and the practical math behind our diaper strategy on the blog! Tap the link in my bio to read the full setup. Are you team “buy everything in advance” or team “wait-and-see” like us? Let’s chat in the comments! 👇🏼 #nesting #pregnancydiary #thirdtrimester #firsttimeparents #momtobe2026
nesting ≠ overcrowding or breaking the bank 😌 Whi nesting ≠ overcrowding or breaking the bank 😌 While nesting, I knew I wanted to keep our space feeling light, intentional, and clutter-free. I strongly believe in “wait-and-see”, and that’s a strategy we’re holding on to. So instead of buying everything in sight, we sticked to tight, high-functioning 3-week clothing and linen rotation for the first few months. Think soft, budget-friendly cotton staples mixed with the sweetest pre-loved hand-me-downs. It feels cozy, minimalist, and ready for the beautiful chaos ahead. 🤍🐥 Beyond the wardrobe, I also shared the literal math behind our practical diaper strategy on the blog (including how we manage premium overnight lockdowns like MamyPoko without hurting our budget, thanks to a little midnight voucher shopping! 🛒✨). 🔗 Head to the link in my bio to read the full 0–3 month inventory breakdown!
