What did you waste money on?

What did you waste money on?
I'm not asking if it was a bad product, but if there was something you you spent money on thinking you absolutly HAD to have it, but turned out that you didn't need it at all. Or your baby didn't like it, there are many different reasons it may have been useless.

For me it was a Bumbo. They are a great product, but DS HATED being restricted like that.

Jolly Jumper is great fun for DS but pain in but to move toys of rug move stand then put DS in sling then lift him up all for 10 mins play!!

we have been learnt an exersaucer and it is fantastic and he jumps in that!

An Angelcare breathing monitor. Charlie slept in a cradle in our room for 5 months, then moved to his own room with a video monitor and I never ended up taking the Angelcare monitor out of the box even.

this maybe sound a tad silly but i wasted alot of money bibs and my DS hardly used em. but i guess lucky now i get to pass em on

Have to admit Sushee, that we are the same there! Angelcare Breathing monitor! Never turned the breathing sensor on!

And Maturnity Pads! I was told I would need them for months....never opened the packet!

oh lots of blankets also, as we ended up in swaddle me wraps covered with 1 other and then straight into grobags!

Way too many clothes....newborns just dont need ample floral dresses.....1 or 2 is enough. Not 12 like my DD#2 had.......

Same here, waste of money even though it was a gift as that money could have been spent on something better or in the girls bank account.

Hmm our JJ goes on the door frame , soo much easier, no frame to worry about, I agree that would be a real pain in the bum!!

the pram! we sling it pretty much all the way.............. should have just kept dd1's stroller and forgotten about a pram style for the baby, waste!!

oh - and all the 0000/000 sized clothes given as gifts, even when people were asked to buy size 0 or bigger, such a waste

little laaa has been given 2 Polo Ralph Lauren outfits... cute but just not practicle, i doubt she will ever wear them

Old house had no usable door frame and this house has only good one (level changes happen between most rooms). Even with an accesible door frame it is stil a complete PITA to set up just for a short amount of time.
