Diaper warmers/bottle warmers, etc. Babies "need" them because they expect them.?
Bug drinks BM and formula cold, as well as having his butt cleaned with cold wipes. He's never complained.
**He never drank BM from the bewb (EP'd), so I CAN understand needing an adjustment period if your child is used to that - but not 9 months.
I understand wanting a warm bottle. And I know they say do not microwave all over the place. But I kinda think that's so they don't get sued when someone uses the microwave and is too stupid to test the temp/vigorously shake to get rid of hot spots. As for me. Ill be using the microwave/shake/test method.
Edit-Bahhaahahaha ok guys. Sorry but typing and talking on the phone makes me spell shiz wacko. I'm sure someone already corrected me.
Pierced ears for babies (MIL just asked when we're going to pierce her ears if it's a girl. I said "not until she's old enough to take care of them herself".)
Baby Leashes...especially the ones that have animals on them. I'm sure they are practical for some people but I just think they look stupid and I side-eye someone every time I see them walking their child like a dog.

This. Double this. It's just degrading...and the animals just add insult to injury.

I have a kid that runs. I can either trap him in a stroller, hold his hand all day long, or use a backpack monkey leash; I choose the leash. He can explore while at a safe distance and I don't have to worry about him getting lost. We only use then at busy places like the zoo and museums. I was 100% opposed to them before we had Ben, I have since eaten my words. He gets freedon, I get peace of mind.
I also put giant bows on my daughter and my boys love thomas the train and mickey mouse clothes.

I'm going to agree that I love the Baby Legs. They're incredibly convenient and DD1 still wears hers to dance class - now that's getting some use out of them!
I have to go with big ugly flowers stuck to ugly headbands on bald babies. Or bows actually GLUED to little baby girls heads. Everyone around us has been warned not to put anything like that on our little girls head or they won't be holding her for 2 months, penalty.

You will think differently if your kid is a runner LOL (my son has autism and is not just a runner he is a bolter, and when he was still non verbal he couldn't answer me. Now he is 5 and doesn't shut up and is still a runner but has much better listening skills LMAO)
I HATE diaper genies, and everything with characters but I know people are gonna buy my kid gay outfits with stuff on it.
Blinged pacifiers (so dangerous) anything with ruffles on the butt
There is more. I can go on and on and now that I am having a girl after having boys there is even more that I cant stand
Re: Baby items you can't stand - Go.
infant shoes.
Blinged out pacifiers.
double strollers... the ones that are side by side
i think the mothers who buy them might be worse then the strollers themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they act like they own the sidewalk/hall/isles!
Baby clothes that say 'Diva' and 'Princess'
Leg. Warmers.
I mean really?
Baby clothes with stupid things written on them.
"If you think I'm cute, you should see my dad!"
"What happens at Grandma's stays at Grandma's!"
This too.
im gonna agree with character bedding sets
This, and I'll add: 'Spoiled Rotten'.
This completly!! Also, I can't stand the child leashes. I guess that isn't really baby, but it still irritates me to no end.
Character anything
Clothes with messages that perpetuate gender stereotypes (while nothin is wrong with football my NB certainly is not a 'champ')
More Green For Less Green
Bows and baby head bands. Seriously, they look stupid and cruel.
And earrings in girls under 5. It's just so "ethnic."
Dress your daughter in pink, if people still can't tell it's a girl, then your baby is ugly, bows and earrings are not helping.
Diaper warmers/bottle warmers, etc. Babies "need" them because they expect them.?

This!! And infant shoes.
In the order I hate things:
1. Strollers, yes I'm serious.
2. Diaper Genies....they smell SO bad why would you want a second litter box in the house lol.
3. Anything that warms baby items, whats the purpose?
4. Anything that smells like baby powder blah!!!
5. Character anything! From bedding to shirts, again whats the point?
I really like this post lol!!!
What?! you mean you don't want your baby to feel like #1 while going #2?! Haha, yeah those are so ridiculous.
Princess anything.
Giant fugly flowers stuck to headbands.
Come on...infant shoes? You have to admit these are awesome!
Side by side double strollers
Infant shoes
Diaper caddies that match the bedding sets
"Toys" for infants/newborns
Pierced ears for babies (MIL just asked when we're going to pierce her ears if it's a girl. I said "not until she's old enough to take care of them herself".)
waiting on our little monster

WTF?!
It is traditional in some cultures. Think outside your little bubble.
Baby Leashes...especially the ones that have animals on them. I'm sure they are practical for some people but I just think they look stupid and I side-eye someone every time I see them walking their child like a dog.
Are you really comparing ear piercing to genital mutilation? Wow...
This. Double this. It's just degrading...and the animals just add insult to injury.
Baby girl headbands.
Bonnets - unless you live on a prairie in 1900.
Shopping cart seat protectors - seriously? Seriously...
EDD 1/31/13, MC May 17. EDD 3/31/13, MC July 26. I miss you so much already my angel loves
Ick, I agree. I went for solid sheets at BRU. I think I also have one polka-dot sheet that was on clearance at walmart.

DD3 - 3.28.11
I hate the child leashes above all else. Damnit people, hold your childs hand or put them in a stroller but they are NOT a dog.
I don't like diaper genies either and although I am going to use cloth diapers, i can't even believe that they make "denim" diapers...how ridiculous.
Im sure i will discover more things that i dont like along my journey into motherhood...
