Baby Care, Haves and Have Nots
There’s a ton of products out there for babies, from amazingly useful to pretty much useless. Wandering those stores for what seems like forever looking at all the shiny things you ‘have to have’ for a newborn is one of the most daunting tasks for many first time parents.
There’s also many lists online telling you what you won’t be able to live without (including a couple of my own). This list is a bit different, it’s the things that will in time become more trouble than they are worth.
Out of all the gizmos and gadgets, there’s surprisingly little you actually will continue to use. Many things will more than likely will become more of expensive paperweight, something I found out the hard way.
Wipe Warmers
There’s no pressing need for one of these, they’re more of a fire hazard than anything (depending on the type you get). In fact, wipe warmers have actually caused many injuries over the years.
Diaper Disposal Contraptions
I know there are some fans of these things out there, the main reason it’s on the list? The need to buy more of the bags, plus throwing in some baking powder and drier sheets can tame most stinky diaper pails.
Ten Billion ‘So Cute’ Outfits
This may strike some the wrong way, but hear me out. They more than likely won’t wear most of the ’so cute, must get’ outfits. There’s a good chance the fab look may be onesies and diaper couture for a while.
Stuffed Animals
While cute, these little things become the thorn in your backside after a while. I was warned, I choose to ignore the warning. Now, I think the herd of stuffed animals may be taking over the bedrooms, out of the thousand she has there’s four that are one’s that she won’t part with.
