re: To Buy, or Not to buy...that is the question.

My wife and I have a 6 week old now! We bought a chair for our bedroom and she liked it so much she actually bought one for her mom's house as she spends a fair bit of time visiting her mom. Some times it is the only way we can get the little guy to be quiet!

We think they are a god send!

So not a waste of money. It was a god send with my son! lol

What do you ladies prefer for a carseat for a new born? A reversable or an infant carrier?

Quoting ~:Ashley:~:“ What do you ladies prefer for a carseat for a new born? A reversable or an infant carrier?”

I definitely prefer the infant carrier. My first child only used it for 6 mos, but my second child was smaller and used it for 9 months. The reversible convertible seat sat up too high and my when my child would fall asleep, her head would slouch forward...

My son only used his for the first 5 or 6 months too. And I plan on wrapping the baby whenever I am out so I wasn't sure it was worth the money to get and infant carrier.

For my niece, an infant carrier. I'm thinking I'll do the same when my baby arrives.

Quoting Cooper♥Mara:“ For my niece, an infant carrier. I'm thinking I'll do the same when my baby arrives.”

See I'm thinking I'll do a reversable because we only used the infant carrier for six months and then had to change him to a reversable because he exceeded the weight limit

Well, then just kidding. I didn't even think about that. My niece is pretty small and will be nearing a change of carseats near her 1st birthday. So, definitely, for you... you probably have it right and thank you for saying that because I'll keep that in mind when I figure out what we're doing for our first kiddo.

No problem. I just didn't see the point of buying an infant carrier and three bases and then having to buy three reversibles. Why buy six carseats when I can buy three and have it last a while. My son is three and is still in his reversible that we got him at 6 months. Also I plan on wrapping the baby whenever we go anywhere so I can nurse him or her.

I got this really great book that I think about whenever I'm about to buy something for my baby. The whole message of the book is that everything that you can buy is just a substitution for that you already have, like bottles for breasts, swings, carriers, strollers, bouncers, etc. for your arms, and ya da ya da ya da. Luckily, I haven't bought too many pointless things =)

Geez thats kinda harsh. You do realize all caps is considered yelling?

--except maybe that book!

Are bottle warmers worth it? I know with my niece, we just let it sit out and put it in warm water. Do warmers actually work?

I had one with my son and didn't really like it. I just used warm water when I made formula bottles and for breastmilk bottles when I watched my friends daughter I put a thing of water in the microwave and then put the bottle in it for a couple of minutes.

To me it's a waste of money.
