What is your most useful baby item and what was a waste of time ?

Yes it heats the wipes up... There is no way in hell I would ever be without one for a little baby

This is the one ive bought twice now... My first one broke it fell off the dresser Prince Lionheart Premium Wipes Warmer - Prince Lionheart - Babies"R"Us

I loved the bouncer chair when DD was small and the mamas &papas baby snug ( similar to the bumbo but has a table so baby can't fall out) and the slumber bear. DD loved her fisher price rainforest playmat.
The least thing we used was the baby sling. As DD was a winter baby so kept her wrapped up in the pram when we went out

loved the wire frame simple bouncer chair, wipe warmer, boppy and extra large rubber bibs.Swing with my first ds. The black, wt and red poster that comes with the sample of formula. We taped it up by the changing table and all 3 LOVED to stare at the patterns.oh and a remote control that attached to the mobile so we could turn it on and off from outside of their door.

didn't like diaper genie, carrier - boys were too big for me to hang them off of my narrow back comfortably.
For diapers we used grocery store bags, tied them off and right out the kitchen door into the garbage can.

Love: Fisher Price Rocker - it can be used for babies up to preschoolers, swaddlers, receiving blankets, Fisher Price mirror with lights & sounds for the car (ds2 hated being in the car in the dark and this really helped with that!), Soothies pacifiers.

I'm with you ladies concerning the Diaper Genie. I just throw wet diapers in the inside trash, and dirty ones go in a plastic bag and then into a little garbage can outside the back door. And really, breastfed newborn's diapers don't smell bad, so I just put those in the regular trash half the time.

We never had a wipes warmer, and I never saw a need for one.

jennasue- YES, we had the fisher price rocker!! It has a foam bar that went across with these 3 little bumblebee big eyed guys hanging from it. My guys would coo at those "guys". I completely forgot about that one!

Ours has farm animals, but yes, I think that's the same one. My only worry about it is that my ds3 still likes to sit in it when he's reading or watching tv, so I'm afraid he'll object to the baby using it!

WASTE OF TIME: trying to forse him to drink out of a bottle (And the dozens of different types i've tried) LOL again

I have to agree that the wipes warmer is awesome!! My DH wanted it for DS1 and so we got one... I thought it was a joke... until you have a newborn baby that doesn't cry when you change it's diaper. For me this was important for the middle of the night when you want them to go back to sleep. Durning the day if you want them to wake up or stay awake then use the cold wipes.

The list of needed baby items has grown smaller with each baby I have, lol. At this point I couldn't live without cloth diapers or a great baby carrier like my Ergo, those are the first to go back on the list. In the early days having a swing for naps was nice. But because we breast feed and co sleep a lot of baby gear just isn't needed.
