What baby item can you not live without?  What baby item do you have that you rarely or never use?

Re: **Central PA Mommies Check-In**

  • I love the bouncy seat and jumperoo.

    We seldom use the Bumbo seat.

  • Loading the player...
  • I never got added EDD Jan 2, boy, first child

    opps wrong group lol but your stuck with me in a few weeks!

  • not live without - the jumperoo. Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps him happy and sometimes it's just good for confining him during a bathroom run or a trip to the mailbox.

    What did we rarely use? receiving blankets. He hated being swaddled after the first few weeks, so we really didn't need the millions we had.

  • merr - we look forward to having you!
  • Not live w/o swing and bouncer.  The boys love them and the swing is a good sleeper haha.  Especially for my sick boy.

    Rarely use - pack n play

  • I could not live without my rocking chair, swing and jumparoo.  I don't have anything I rarely use since we stuck with the basics.

  • Could not live with out the swings for either of them... Bella also likes her bouncy seat, however Jack could def. go without his.  The other thing I LOVE is the bottle warmer... it makes things so much easier in the middle of the night.

    I thought I would use my sling all the time.... was so excited about it, hardly use it now though.

  • Things I can't live without at Andrew's age is a bit hard for me to think of at the moment...he loves his bounce and spin zebra and his wagon and swing (but we don't use them now that it's cold). As for what we rarely use...I never used my sling or carrier that I was insistent on having. I tried them both, but Andrew didn't like them at all. We also rarely use our pack-n-play, but I still like having that just in case.
  • Sara- I forgot about the bottle warmer!  It is a great thing!  I actually told a couple registering at Target this past weekend to make sure they put it on their registry...lol.

    Do you have the First Years one with the cold chamber on the back? 

  • I could not have survived the first 3 months with out the baby swing...DS would sleep in it for hours...we started to call it the neglect-o-matic after a while :) Oh, and the video monitor...Love it ~ saved me LOTS of trips in the room I didn't have to jump up for every peep he made because I could see what he was doing.

    I could have done without the Bumbo...I don't see the rave with this product. 

     Tip: As much as the bottle warmer is a great product...save yourself a little extra money and get a small crockpot...does the same job and is a fraction of the price.  And you can keep it on all the time, so it is always hot on demand. 
     

  • I couldn't live without the bouncy seat at this stage.  There isn't much that we don't use at this point, but I could probably survive without the swing.  It takes up so much space, and we only use it a little bit.
  • Hmm...when Natalie was first born I would say the swing and once she got a little older her exersaucer.  She loved it!  Do without, for the most part, her pack n play since we are in a 1 floor apartment and we only used it when we are away which is very far in between...lol.   We could have also done without a bouncy seat....never really used it!
  • At first, she couldn't care less about them, but now she finally loves her bouncy seat and swing.  I couldn't get anything done without them.  I also love the playmat.  I could do without the receiving blankets and my hotsling.  I used the sling for a little bit when she was first born, and she liked it, but I found it to be very uncomfortable.  Now she's too big for it..
    Anxiously awaiting DD #2! EDD 2/5/12
  • Sorry, last post was from me...I guess I was logged in as my previous nest name!
  • Can't live without - before was her bouncy seat.  Now, her high chair.  She likes to sit in it while I get stuff down around the house as long as I am her view!

    rarely use - swing, she never really like it.  Now we don't use the bouncy seat at all.

  • Couldn't live without our playmat and bouncy seat.  Rarely use the swing or the Beco because DS hates both.  I'm thinking of selling the Beco, but I keep trying to put him in there hoping one day he'll like it.
