As a nanny for years I agree with you on some of these things. <br /><br />I think that if you have a blender or food processor at home you don't need the baby bullet, but I love the storage that it comes with. <br /><br />Baby wipes are great but I agree using wash cloths can be better for babies skin, but with the natural ones you should be fine. <br /><br />Baby detergent I love the smell, and it is great for sensitive skin,<br /><br /> I love diaper pails for people who use disposables, but for cloth diapering they work too, you just stick the dirty diapers in like a regular diaper. <br /><br />Changing tables are good, but when your child gets older a sofa or floor works better. For safety wise you might rather use the floor<br /><br />I think that some things for me that are a must are the rocking chair, and the baby monitor. But I can see your points on why you wouldn't need them. <br /><br />The Boppy and Bumbo chair is great for keeping baby from getting a flat head or laying down all the time. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing I am sure this will help all moms Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555682580446569432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115994763894845497.post-53603850678330611422013-12-01T19:04:32.900-08:002013-12-01T19:04:32.900-08:00Newborns have many needs.

But this one had a steamer + timer + blender. So I just needed to set the timer for each type of food and forget. Once cooked, it blended the food automatically and I felt it was very convenient.

Almost every new mom buys all...This is a good list. Almost every new mom buys all these items and realizes most of them are waste of money. I personally found some of the items in your "useless list" to be useful. It might be due to my situation at the time (I had C-section so I needed few extra comforts during my recovery), but these are what I found useful.<br /><br />Changing table: I can't say enough about how useful it had been to have a changing table. I initially thought it would be useless so I didn't buy thinking I can use a dresser top like many do these days. But after I came home from hospital I quickly realized I need a changing table and found one on craiglist for $20. It worked wonderfully for 2 yrs until my daughter was completely potty trained. I didn't have to bend to change the diapers, didn't have to look for changing pad whenever I needed to change and worry about any messes on bed/sofa, plus it held all the diaper supplies and baby laundry basket. <br />Rocking Chair was another craigslist find. I didn't have to spend much on it so it was worth the money.<br />Bottle Warmer: I had to use bottles very often so I found this very helpful.<br />Baby Monitor: This is one thing I regret for not buying. My daughter fell off from bed and had a fracture when I stepped away for 5 minutes to change my clothes. She was sleeping when I stepped away. I did not hear her wake up though I was in the next room. I wish I had a monitor so I could have heard her move on the bed. The basic monitor is not that expensive. I recommend everyone to buy and use one even if it doesn't seem necessary. It is for baby's safety. May be I am over reacting due to what happened, but better safe than sorry like me.<br /><br />I agree with Darlene's comment, it all comes down to what you believe is money well spent.Love 2 Decoratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767687670759779594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115994763894845497.post-36989253780010367982013-11-30T09:38:29.548-08:002013-11-30T09:38:29.548-08:00Fantastic list of useless baby items. I tend to a...Fantastic list of useless baby items. I tend to agree with most of it. I have three grown daughters and four young granddaughters. There are only a few items on your list that we did find helpful.<br /><br />Wipes are just a matter of preference. I prefer wipes but if I couldn't afford them I could get by with a warm damp cloth.<br /><br />And I love the smell of baby detergent. It's part of the adorable baby smell that we all love.<br /><br />Lastly, I think a high chair is a good investment. I bought one for my first daughter and it used for two more daughters and one of my granddaughters. It is just so much easier for baby/toddler to eat/be fed when their high chair is pushed up to the table.<br /><br />I love sippy cups. Especially no drip cups. My six month old granddaughter loves her sippy cup. She can get a drink whenever she wants.<br /><br />It all boils down to convenience - what you believe is money well spent.Darlene Nemethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654592264544288998noreply@blogger.com
