With all of the baby items that are in the market, you are bound to find items that don't perform like you were hoping.
What items do you suggest Meagan leave on the shelves at the store?
That's how I felt about the Boppy pillow. It seemed like a good idea but it wasn't comfortable around my first C-section and I couldn't find a comfortable angle for baby's head to nurse. However, my husband loves it.
I also seem to be inept with a sling which I love the idea of.
The crib was a bit useless for my first.... she refused to sleep by herself.... and still does even though now she has a big girl bed. But obviously you need a crib.
Too many clothes become useless. I like a few outfits that are comfortable and easy to put on and my kids wore the same outfit over and over.... just like I do with my jeans.
Over-priced gear. I personally think very seldomly is the expensive gear worth it. If it seems like a lot of money for one just one thing, it probably is and as it goes, your child will probably hate it.
