Yeah, I thought they sounded extravagant, but I love my wipes warmer! We use cloth wipes and having to leave the room to wet them would be ridiculous. And I think having warm wipes when it’s cold is a nice comfort to my baby, who despised diaper changes when he was very young.

Great post. Before we had our first child we thought we needed everthing anyone ever told us or we read. Interestingly we have have sold some items that we bought for our first child that we were advised as an absolute must such as a changing unit and it was a waste of good space. With our second child we just used an existing chext of drawers or the floor!

I agree with your list completely. The only things I bought for my son were clothing and cloth diapers. I can’t remember anything else. We co-slept too so we didn’t get a cot either.

I just used my knees when I was out andhad to change my son and I used a towel if I had too. I hate clutter – much harder to be clutter free now hei s older but I am working on making sure toys he doesn’t use are out of the house lol.

ooh and I forgot about Lansinoh lanolin and the Boppy, lifesavers for this breastfeeding mom!!! Better than any product though was the advice and help of my lactation consultant and the support of my husband.

Let’s face it, there are lots of things babies and grown ups don’t need, but if it is a reasonable item and it makes your life soooo much better (like a changing pad) then go for it!
