As a first time mother you find yourself stuck in the dilemma of not knowing which products to use on your baby. Shall you go fully organic or is there no need? Do you listen to what the pediatrician recommends in terms of product use or do you follow your motherly instinct?

Shall we do it old school or have times changed for the better? Possibly not?

Despite all this, and after spending some time (and a lot of money) testing and trying and tossing out products, it is safe to say there is no best way but your own way.

If you're familiar with the term “to each their own," the same applies to your baby.

However, the biggest piece of advice is DO NOT splurge on baby products that simply sound and look tempting. Purchase the essentials that can be used from one child to the next and rest assured that you will not be feeling insanely guilty, because boy do we know how pricey some of these things can get!
