Trust me when I say, a baby can get expensive. From clothes, food, bottles, nappies, toys, furniture, dumb gimmick onesies... you’ll be buying things left, right and centre for this tiny human. If it’s your first child, you also experience a ‘trial period’ of buying products you THINK you need, that actually never end up being used. This is unavoidable - just accept it. But to avoid SOME of this overspending, in this week’s episode I am sharing my full list of MUST BUY baby items and the ways in which you can SAVE MONEY while purchasing them. LINKS: PRAM: Uppa Baby Vista https://uppababy.com.au/products/uppababy-vista-v3-with-bassinet-charcoal-melange-carbon-greyson?srsltid=AfmBOor4OEr-P7Ejoa13bud7Tkgo9jZgrpSmyh8jMflSPuHZSjmpPmkjOther items can be found here: https://amzn.to/3YINZ5wEnter our giveaway here: https://heynikolinak.co/ Follow Nikolina Koevska Kharoufeh here: https://www.instagram.com/heynikolinak/?hl=enSubscribe to the mailing list for more INFO: https://heynikolinak.co/Join our private FB page to share and request advice from fellow parents: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615190698987282Â

#6 How is my toddler feeling about the new baby? With Jenna Nathan
When I was pregnant with my second - remember asking myself ‘Will I have enough love for both my baby and my toddler?’. The answer to that question is of course YES! But another question that popped up which was a little harder to answer was how my toddler felt about the new baby. First-borns can have a lot of mixed feelings about the new baby. Both pre and post arrival! Navigating their new relationship as well as your changed relationship with both, is a lot to handle. In this episode I speak to Toddler Expert Jenna Nathan about how your first can feel about the new baby, understanding their emotions, dealing with their needs and tips and tricks on what to do before the baby arrives. LINKS: Enter our giveaway here: https://heynikolinak.co/Follow Jenna Nathan here: https://www.instagram.com/toddlers.by.jenna/?hl=en Jenna’s toddler blog: https://jennaknathan.wixsite.com/toddlersbyjenna/post/screen-time-guide?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY_KARQ3IEsKE28IKTRz-3-Z7eTAQWrfUB2TJh5eSYcC-GG3ILSG3dyURU_aem_3-_Uds3VFk2Kizf3iVDnDABooks to introduce your toddler to the baby: https://amzn.to/4gpElf9 Book and 1-on-1 consult with Jenna (which includes her PDF guide) here: https://calendly.com/jennaknathan/1-1-consultFollow Nikolina Koevska Kharoufeh here: https://www.instagram.com/heynikolinak/?hl=enSubscribe to the mailing list for more INFO: https://heynikolinak.co/Join our private FB page to share and request advice from fellow parents: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615190698987282 Grab a copy of My Mummy Loves Fudge (your favourite children’s book!): https://heynikolinak.co/b/mymummylovesfudge

#5 How do I prepare before the baby arrives?
When you’re pregnant, use the time you have to prepare, prepare, prepare. Do this to make your life as easy as possible when the baby finally arrives. If this is your first child, you’ll have a lot more time on your hands so make sure you use it. If it is your second or third, then you probably already know all of this! This episode is a checklist of all the things that you should do to help make things easier once the baby arrives. It saves you TIME and EFFORT during the first six months of your baby’s life, to leave you with the ability to figure everything else out that you need to. LINKS:Book recommendations: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/heynikolinak/list/3T762RPXBU5ZG?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_Z1C6WMG2X5WXDM4GQFD2My Mummy Loves Fudge (the best gift for yourself or a new mum friend!): https://heynikolinak.co/b/mymummylovesfudgeEnter our giveaway here: https://heynikolinak.co/Follow Nikolina Koevska Kharoufeh here: https://www.instagram.com/heynikolinak/?hl=enSubscribe to the mailing list for more INFO: https://heynikolinak.co/Join our private FB page to share and request advice from fellow parents: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1615190698987282Â
