He stated: 'Affluent people can give their kids everything they want, but they're not usually going to get what they need. Loving a child is a lot harder if you really give a d***. "No" takes a lot more energy. It's a lot easier to say "yes."'

When building your baby registry, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff available -- not to mention all of the different options for each of those products. The world of sleep sacks, bottles, pacifiers and bassinets is vast and seemingly endless, all for this tiny creature you haven't met yet. 

During the sit-down, Alba noted that she felt that letting her children make wrong decisions and measuring how much they should deal with them on their own was what she felt was the most difficult aspect of parenthood.

Since the law changed three years ago to provide singletons with the same surrogacy rights as couples, 82 applications were made by single 'intended parents', according to the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.

Johnson's

Between spit up, diaper blowouts and messy milk eating, newborns can get grimy pretty quickly. For the moments when you don't want to do a full bath (or those fun times when one of the above happens immediately after a bath), these Johnson's Head-to-Toe wipes are nice to have on hand. They're just big, soft hypoallergenic pre-moistened baby wipes that let you do a quick cleanup.

Alba did point out, however, that although her husband was more lax as a parent and generally concerned about their children's personal and academic well-being, she preferred to take a more hands-on role in their kids' upbringing.

Bumco

This one is an honorable mention because it was indeed on my registry after a friend's recommendation. If you're someone who hates getting your hands sticky, you need this tool that can only really be called a butt spatula. Apply your baby's diaper cream to this little silicone brush and put it on their bum, saving your hands from becoming a mess. It has a suction stand so it can sit on your diaper table on its own, and it's easy to clean off. 

If you know that you're going to be formula feeding when you build your registry, do yourself a favor and ask for a Baby Brezza. Essentially a Keurig for formula, it makes bottles on demand warmed to one of three temperatures. Though past versions have come under scrutiny for not measuring formula correctly, I haven't had an issue with the latest model, which has strict cleaning requirements (and to double check, we occasionally weigh bottles on a kitchen scale). You can choose from the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced, which lets you manually push a button to get the formula, or the Advanced Wi-Fi, which lets you start a bottle from your phone. It's not cheap, but made my formula feeding journey infinitely better. 

Splashin'kids

Speaking of tummy time, once your baby reaches three months, this water mat will help make that activity more engaging and interesting. It's essentially a mini water bed for babies, and gives them a different kind of feeling while on their stomach, and something to look at with the floating fish. You can also try propping them up in different ways using the inflatable sides. It helped us extend our tummy time sessions quite a bit. 

Julie Bindel, a feminist campaigner, said: 'There are questions to be asked why single men, all of a sudden, want babies that they will be the sole parents for, when traditionally they have passed on the lion's share of caring responsibilities for children to women.'
