I've never played Afterbirth, but I played the original for 119 hours according to Steam. I'll repeat what others have said about getting better at the game. I was by no means a master, but I went from consistently dying with good items before getting to the second "world" to regularly beating it with mostly whatever shit items they threw at me.

Just be warned that some items are almost assuredly a trap. I remember an dead cat item that gave you nine lives, but it set your health to one. It utterly ruined a pretty decent run.

One thing I don't think anyone has mentioned - assuming it's the same in Afterbirth - is that there are often secret rooms. You enter them by bombing the middle of the wall that's adjacent to that room. Secret rooms are typically bordered by three or four visible rooms. So a fairly reliable way of finding one is to wait until you've explored the entire map, then look to see if any empty spaces are next to three or four rooms. Then go bomb a wall in one of those rooms. Just be warned that secret rooms sometimes have a boss in them instead of goodies.

Dead cat is a good item imo. It doesnt remove non-red heart containers. So if you have a lot of those youre not really losing much.

Curse of the Tower and fucking Bobs Brain are what Id call trap items.
