These are notes I originally made for friends when they were having babies — what gear actually helped us, what didn’t, and some honest thoughts about things like sleep and diapering. You’re welcome to read this as-is, or duplicate it and make your own notes (you’ll need a Notion account).
I’m not a parenting expert, and I don’t have any credentials to offer here. These are simply my own thoughts and experiences as a mom of two. Use or don’t use anything here in whatever way makes sense for you.
Remember: there is no one right way to do any of this. You are the best parent for your baby.
Subpages in pink text haven’t been filled in yet— I’m slowly moving notes over from a very messy Google Sheet as I have time. If you use Notion, you can follow this page to see updates as they are added.
This resource is free to use. If it’s been helpful and you’d like to support the time it takes to keep it available and up to date, there’s an optional tip jar here: https://ko-fi.com/notesforparents
