Just thought I would post this, for those who have children to help out the first time mums!!!
What did you buy that you didn't use?.......
* knitted clothes, to hard to wash,
* too many newborn 0000s clothes,
What did you buy that you found you couldn't live without?.......
*the 1ltr water container, that I cut down so that I could put the nappy bag over it and have a spare hand during nappy changes.
Ohhh Im the same with going overboard on newborn clothes...our first blue clothes..arrgghhh he hardly wore any of them. I bought ones with hoods...what was I thinking..they never got worn!!!
Things I bought but didn't use, mittens, I bought heaps and most of them never fitted him. Bibs that tie up at the back, these are pretty useless I found.
The thing I could live without would have to have been his rocker chair. It would allow me to get more things done when I popped him in there, even have a shower because I could still keep an eye on him. Also he was a shocker sleeping during the day but that was the only thing I could get him to sleep in.
We asked for a Sangenic Nappy Wrapper and never used it once......I flogged it on Ebay for a great price!
Couldn't live wthout my Amby Hammock or my Baby Bjorn........and also the 3D play gym thingo that babies lie under and bat all teh hanging toys......both Olivia and Charlie loved it!
Ohh yes so far I've found the rocker, the play gym and my Baby Bjorn invaluable!!!
The only thing I can think of that I haven't used have been the tie up bibs! LOL just read that someone else said that as well! My stack of bibs went down by half because its just to hard to tie the bib onto a wriggly baby who wants a feed!!!
I loved My OiOi nappy bag, baby gym mat and Baby Love book - it let me know I was doing the right thing at 3am.
We also bought a mobile for the cot - i wish i had bought it earlier (She was 3 months old when we finally got it) and she was bored of it soon and tried to rip it down.
I would definitely have tried to fit my pram in the boot of my car BEFORE i bought the pram. It's a great pram - we just can't fit anything else in the boot.
