Moms! What baby gear is *actually* useful?
I want to be prepared but to avoid needless spending and gadgetry. When it comes to baby gear–everything from strollers to peepee teepees:
What is the one item you can’t live without?
What is the one item you have that you never use?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts/help!
the one item I couldnt live with out was my baby sling. Both of my kids were colicy and I found wearing them close to my heart seemed to sooth them when nothing else did. Another item was my cloth diapers because there are so many things you can do with them besides cover a naked heiney, like a light weight nursing drape or a spit cloth or a snuggle for a toddler.Plus once you are done with baby stage they make good cleaning cloths
The things I never used were
the baby bathtub
the ginormus stroller
