What baby item was the biggest waste for you?

NManger · May 2010

I am having a garage sale this weekend and realized how many things I thought I HAD TO HAVE when I was pregnant with DS were a total waste. There are things I never even used!! What did you have to have that was a total waste?

Diaper Champ and wipe warmer. Never used either of them.

VegasAsh · May 2010

DS never had any interest in his swing and the Bumbo didn't get much use.

My Breast friend and bumbo

The wipe warmer. It is still in the box in the closet collecting dust

The bumbo. DD hated it.

kaylenpar1 · May 2010

The Bumbo for sure. We didn't really use the PNP until she got a lot older.

katypresson · May 2010

Swing. He hated it!

Diaper Genie. I have yet to use it.

NManger · May 2010

The Bumbo is one of the things in the garage sale pile!n DS never used it. I had to have the big fancy $400 stroller...I hate it! it is so heavy and bulky that all I use is my Mom's Graco!

breast pump. i should have waited to see if i needed one. i used it 3x to see how much i could get, but DH didn't have time to feed J a bottle, so we just EBF. waste of $300!

The little baby papsan seat that vibrates and plays music. Some babies like that thing, Liam hated it.

bellaciao · May 2010

And the tummy time mat. He also hated that thing.

AfterAll · May 2010

We never used the Angel Care monitor, which was a gift. Another friend purchased one for herself and gave me the receipt, so I was able to return mine, thank goodness.

reannegummer · May 2010

breast pump. When DD wouldn't latch, I went out and bought an expensive breast pump. I could never keep up to her though and never found the time to pump since I was bottle feeding her all the time. Maybe I'll use it more with my next kid. I'm sure I only used it 10 -15 times before I totally dried up.

KOscar · May 2010

A bottle warmer. It was just as easy to warm a cup of water in the microwave.

NATALE0624 · May 2010

Diaper champ, sling, bumbo

Granted they were all gifts but DS never cared for them. I just couldnt take the champ anymore.

FirefightersBride · May 2010

the rainforest soother for his crib. He could care less about it. Also, he wasn't a huge fan of the big swing.

gumiberg · May 2010

honestly, i cant think of any! i didnt have a shower (or registry) and we purchased as we went along.

the pnp had the shortest life span though, since we only used it as bassinet in the very beginning.

ivs112 · May 2010

Swaddle Me, bottle warmer, Bundle Me, pacifiers, crib mobile, bottle sterilizer.

Chrysallys · May 2010

The Arm's Reach Co-sleeper. That thing was expensive and he would never sleep in it. Also, bottles. I washed them and got htem ready and he never would take them. What do I do with them now? Would people buy those?

misseshoneysett · May 2010

our $400 worth of a crib and bedding. we co-sleep and have a bassinet next to the bed. at least it converts to a big boy bed.

and please dont sell your bumpo at your garage sale for $25-$30. i have seen so many lately like that. you might as well just go buy a brand new one! geesh.

Heffalump · May 2010

The Bumbo, definitely.

That would be cheap in Canada. They are over $60 here.

SheriBT · May 2010

Bumbo, swaddle blankets, swing, burp cloths (we were really lucky), and bedding set.

jenibo · May 2010

Bumbo. Other than that, everything's gotten pretty good use. I do wish we would've gotten an convertible car seat from the beginning and a jogging stroller instead of a travel system.

AMYfromKY · May 2010

Diaper champ, bedding set, and bottle warmer

Bumbo. Luckily I bought it at a consignment sale for about $10 so I didn't lose much.

Ivana_Stolichnaya · May 2010

White noise machine, Moby (the Ergo is 1000x better), Diaper Genie and all the stupid refill cartridges, most of the clothes I over-bought, I really don't need 50+ washcloths, 20 or so blankets and all the bottles (we have a Drop-In set and Dr. Brown set), bedding set - especially the mobile and the Boppy (I loved the BrestFriend a lot more)

We got a $370 stroller which we keep tethered in the trunk of the car. It's too heavy and a b- to deal with, I've been using a snap n' go so far. My MIL gave us a video monitor. I didn't want one (we live in a 900sq ft single floor condo) she gave us one anyway, the thing was over $200.

Mack924 · May 2010

Bumbo, burp cloths, bottle car warmer and the baby bath tubs (the big plastic ones you put in the tub) he would scream everytime I put him in it. He would have rather just laid on the baby sponge mat we had.
