Alright Ladies,
Here are the items I promise you can live without! I made
the unfortunate mistake of making these purchases so you won’t have to. Learn
from me!
First,
The Kiinde
Twist Breastfeeding Gift set. I was
so excited when I purchased this bottle warming set online…and then I was
completely disappointed. It took forever
to heat a bottle and I was never one hundred percent sure if I was using it
correctly. The bottles sucked, my daughter hated them. The plus side were the
pouches and the adapter for the pump. It
made for spill free pumping and easy storage.
SO…my recommendation would be get the adapter for your pump and the
pouches but skip the bottle warmer, or any bottle warmer for that matter. If your water gets hot, fill a large cup and
set your pouch of milk in it. It works just fine and is much cheaper.
Next,
The Brica
Night Light Musical Baby In Sight Mirror. Now I’m not saying don’t get a
mirror, I loved being able to see Kennedy when I was driving. But they are not
recommended the nurse in the hospital scolded me when I told her I planned to
use one, “they are a distraction!”. But I needed to know that my silent baby
was just a sleeping baby and not a dead/choking/or any other crazy horrible story my postnatal mind could think of!
But what I am saying is don’t waste your money on this fancy light up
musical one. I never used these functions
because the remote sucked and within a few months the batteries in the remote
corroded and it was useless. Just get a
simple mirror so you can see your little one and easy your crazy mind.
Finally,
The Sophie la
Girafe Teether. This is a $25 dog toy. Don’t waste your money.
Other mommies out there, what could you do without? Let me
know in the comments!

Great post! I do not think a wipe warmer is necessary.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteGreat tips! I am planning to get married and have a baby soon. I'm lucky that my parenthood will be planned, and I will have a two parent home. I will be taking on a step daughter, and marrying into and unplanned parent hood. I had to browse your brand to see what I can learn. I will remember not to buy any of these products. I'm excited to read more of your blog posts.
ReplyDeleteI do not ever plan on having children however that doesn't mean every other person in my life isn't having babies. These are great tips for baby shower shopping no-no's. Great tips!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome tips. I am at that age where all of my friends are starting to get married and think about children - these will come in handy. My cousin-in-law got her children the giraffe teether; you're right, the dog loved it!
