What is your most useful baby item and what was a waste of time ?
Thought it would be fun to discuss what we used most or loved most from previous babies and what we found that we really wouldnt bother with again ......
For me: LOVED My swings - had a few different one but every one of my boys has loved their swings and was best way to settle them if they wouldnt settle any other way.
HATED: BUMBO seats - all my boys were too fat to fit in them. Also found a baby bath a waste of time as most of time bubs was in bath wit me or i used the sink so i didnt have to bend down :-)Mummy to 3 gorgeous Boys and FINALLY our baby Girl

Neat post!
LOVE: step 2 push car, ever since DS1 was about 9-10 months to today he loves his little car (just used it yesterday)and it is SO convenient when going to a mall or something, a lot easier then pulling my stroller out if storage isn't needed.
DO NOT LOVE: diaper genie, as many others say lol. snuggli carrier - talk about back pain and an unhappy uncomfy little baby.
ON ANOTHER NOTE: everyone hates the diaper genie I see, as do I. But, because we haven't seemed to find a better option (havent really looked) we still use it - what do you ladies use for diapers??? Having 2 in diapers makes me nervous lol I really want to replace my genie!June 21 2011 - Ryder

Our family is now complete - no more babies for us. We didn't get our girl but I wouldn't trade my boys for the world, so in love.

i loved my tiny love mobile that played mozart - was useless at bedtime but a great toy for a tiny baby they sat mesmerized for hours. I also loved my swing (well i say my swing, i never did the swinging, although i remember my elder one squeezing in it!) and this little giraffe wrist rattle thing from mothercare - i ended up with one for each baby and they loved them - their little hands could grab its neck right from a little age and they chewed them to death when teething. Breast pumps for me were another great invention.
Hated - bottle warmers - took ages to heat anything alot longer than a thing of hot water, bumbo seat (every single one fit in it fine but seemed to manage to launch themselves nose first into the carpet in a few seconds), baby walkers and the sit in version - again they were over the top of it seconds after being put in

I successfully had my girl nearly 3 years ago thanks to an awesome plan from atomic. I have just started on Ozempic to try and lose some weight due to PCOS and it’s working well. Does anyone...
