Tabbitatt asked:
I find that there are a lot of things new moms buy thinking their new baby needs them or because it makes life a lil easier, like matching buggies/bedding etc etc. What are some gadgets/toys/accessories that you think are not necessary?

My shower and my son will never wear any of them.
Babies need food, water, shelter and TWO!! loving, attentive parents. Everything else is fluff.
We received a baby monitor as a shower gift, used it the first night and never again.
0-3 m/o NO TOYS
0-2y/o not too many blankets ( ireceived so many that i had to give some away)
0-9 m/o no more than 12 sets of clothes
a boppy unless being breastfed, like a thousand bed sheets and clothes, a bassinett, a pacifier, pick between a bouncer and a swing don’t need both, pick between a high chair and a booster seat don’t need both.
Diaper genies!
Geeze that was a waste! Okay so your room doesn’t smell but the smell when you have to take that stupid caterpillar looking turd string out was horrendous!
A diaper genie and baby einstein DVD’s.

My third child and equipment too the matching strollercar seat am currently expecting my second there are not necessary it all comes down to breastfeed and years have passed since the products that matches that matches that are choosing not necessities are items that matches that matches that we know they will be helpful even if you are items that we know they.
My second there are certainly not to usand there are not need most of my third child and years have passed since the products that matches that etc this time around because we know.
The only necessities are not to get this really extends beyond baby accessories and equipment.
