Top 3 things you didn't need for baby

[lovemybubs]

I cant think of anything we got for Abby and we dont use.

Tho, the change table/bath combo only got used a couple of times, BUT i love it as storage and have all her wraps, cloth nappies, towles and fash washers in it. Im glad we have it.

We have a glider chair that i dont use, but it was a gift. DF uses it sometimes when feeding her tho. Its not something i would buy for myself.

OH!! yes! i found someting. The baby monitor. Just never got good reception and we have a rather small house so its not really needed. Also, we got a jolly jumper as a gift and i cant figure out how to put it on her and tie it up properly so its been used once.

Oh and can i say our isis breast pump was usless... i couldnt get any milk to come out using that!! (:frown: could have been me tho)

what we didn't need

- loads of plush teddies (we're space poor and trying to avoid dust mites)
- pink and white girly clothing, and things with teddies and rabbits and ducks all over them
- small wraps (had a long baby so the short wraps lasted all of one week!)

stuff i am so glad we got

- wonderful handmade changetable (2nd hand) nicer than anything i saw in shops
- the modern cloth nappies (solved the nappy rash problem)
- good quality socks that became the mittens she coudln't get off

i actually don't mind the woollen booties that we got given by lovely old ladies who knit, i can make them stay on by tying the laces on them, they're holey so great for ventilation. Only problem is when you're changing a nappy and calisthenic baby gets bootie covered foot up in The Danger Zone of Poo!
