re: What exactly should I NOT buy.

Quoting Expecting Ayden:“ Don't buy bibs (like someone else mentioned).. I got a million of them at the baby shower. You will ... [snip!] ... We brought two little outfits, a set of pacifiers, and diapers. Then, after the shower, we got things that weren't given to us.”

yea but u can never have enough bibs most deff if the baby spits up alot

Quoting Krystal [Felix's Mum]:“ Definetly buy nappies and wipes when theyre on sale & stock up, but try not to buy too many of ... [snip!] ... type of carseat we bought. Itsa 'turn-a-tot' one, but we dont even use the swivel feature, yet paid an extra $100 (Aus) for it.”

Wow, teddy bears huh? Those are the ones I least need right now hahaha. Thanks for your help!

Quoting heather _h:“ yea but u can never have enough bibs most deff if the baby spits up alot”

Yeah, but she doesn't need to buy them now. I'd hate to see her blow her money on them and then get a bunch at her shower. If she doesn't get many, she can buy them after her shower. I only bought one bib after the shower not because we need it but because it was too cute to pass up. It says, "Party at my crib!" Other than that, I counted the ones we got from the shower and we have 83 bibs. My SO and I just washed them all.I think that'll hold us over for a while.

Quoting Lisamaroo:“ The diaper champ? I have it, it's gotta be cheaper buying regular trash bags than those special inserts for the genie. I do like it but it can get stinky when it gets full.”

i think it was just the safety first one. its already been a life saver since i got it. i baby sit a boy who is still in pull ups and i have been using it for him too and the dogs cant get into the lid no matter how much they try

i have to have tons of course i got tons but i loose them and they get dirty so fast

Quoting Anagrace:“ I will be giving birth in about 4 months...thats coming up pretty soon. I will be having my baby shower ... [snip!] ... to buy items that I will obviously receive at the babyshower or that I will never use. What items should I buy and NOT buy.”

honestly i never bought a diaper changing station but my friends bought theirs, and now there trying to give them to me. our kids are the same age. id never use it either, thats why i never got one. you should buy a baby tub. and a changing pad for when you go to restaurants and stuff, some of those things can get nasty, i never let mason lay on it. also buy lots of 3-6mths clothes rather than just newborn and 0-3. my son outgrew all of it in 2 weeks. he fits in 12mths clothes and hes 7mths. they grow entirely too fast lol. also get lots of gas medicine, and dr brown bottles(reduce colic,they work!.also it might now seem like it at first but you can never have enough bibs. they start drooling like no other around 3 months. well good luck!

Thank you! seems like I wont be needing a diaper genie nor the changing table for sure! Thats great to know, cuz I was thinking about buying the changing table from Target for $100 but not anymore! I think I will start stacking up formula and diapers.

Yeah. My best friend was given a diaper changing table at her shower and she said she never actually changed her sons diaper on there.. it basically became a waste of space, something she used to just throw things on.

Teething sucks big time   felix started teething at 3months 3 days, but sopped after about a week - yay! 1st tooth is appearing, but not enough to see it, only feel. I think i get more of his drool on me than he gets on himself when i hold him hehe
