Regret buying any baby items?

jenna0627 · February 2010

I really regret buying the medela PIS. Mainly because I wasn't able to do the breastfeeding and I have a $300 pump in the closest. I know that I could use if for future children but I really wish I would have just bought a cheap pump and then upgraded if BF would have worked out. Any big purchases or baby purchases in general you wish you wouldn't have bought?

The walker. Not because he doesn't use it (he can't really yet) but because we have absolutely no room in the house for the walker.

The Miracle Blanket.

She could break out of it, I didn't like the extra "steps" in swaddling, and then she decided she no longer needed to be swaddled. Waste of $30 for us!

Pacifiers and swaddle blankets. DD is a thumb-sucker (has been from the start), and therefore hated being swaddled. She would grunt until her hand/thumb was free to suck (even in the hospital). I tried 6 different pacis and she refused all of them. Needless to say, Happiest Baby on the Block was ineffective for us. Thank God she is a relatively happy baby!

My Moby. Not because I couldn't figure it out, I did and it worked, but I just didn't like it and neither did DS, he's too active, he hated being "worn".

Moby, I really tried to like it, but it was just a pain to use and dd didn't like it.

I also wasted a lot of money on bottles since dd refused to eat from one--when we finally found one that dd liked, I bought several packs so that we had enough for daycare. Well, I ended up finding a different brand that she ate from much better! I have over 20 bottles at home.

Receiving blankets-everyone said we needed tons. But the ones we bought from the store were way too small to use to swaddle, so I've hardly used any of them.

Receiving blankets - I got about 20 from my shower and kept all of them. Should have returned most of them

Moby - kinda complicated but it's cool once I finally get her in it

Sling - did not work for us

Bedding set - we only use the sheet and bed skirt! Can't use bumpers and quilt right now

Moby - but I sold it to another mom, so I guess it went to a good home!

Itzbeen Baby Timer- HUGE WASTE OF MONEY! Was easier to write out when she ate/pooped/slept on the piece of paper that the hospital gave us.
