Plus she seems so little for it. She just weighed 9.14 on Tuesday at her one month appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-724128 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 06:33:23 +0000 bushelandapeck 724128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cant think of anything I would want or need that we didn't get but there are plenty of things we didn't need... Bumbo, Moby wrap, swing, and tons and tons of clothes that he only wore once or never at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-724096 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 05:32:49 +0000 Dandelion 724096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: good point...I think there's bassinet inserts you can get for the stroller...or maybe just use the infant seat for the stroller and not the whole car trip? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-724053 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 03:33:59 +0000 googly-eyes 724053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: me too!!!! I want the maclaren quest. :)</p> <p>I could've done without the bouncy chair!</p> <p>Never had a rnp...probably a good thing though that I didn't know much about them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-724013 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:38:58 +0000 pinkcupcake 724013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: @runsyellowlites: I purchased the infantino mei tai carrier at BRU for less than $30 And it was super comfy and easy to use ! I used it until lo turned seven months old. </p> <p>I could have lived without a bumbo and like half of LO's closet. She had way too many clothes. I would have likes to try the rock n play and I would have liked the snugabunny swing. </p> <p>Oh and I could have lived without my Chicco Cortina stroller system. Lo only likes to be held so we've used it maybe a handful of times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-724007 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:27:42 +0000 Sweet T 724007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had gotten a video monitor. I could have done without my maya wrap. I used it less than 5 times. It was way too hot for it in GA! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723955 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 22:37:40 +0000 Smurfette 723955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: We have an infant seat. I read that convertible is better for some but then what so we do about a stroller? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723856 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:35:00 +0000 rrachael 723856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I hear that the infantino mei tai is just as good as its expensive counterparts! I think its under $40 ... Could ne worth it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723849 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:31:36 +0000 MrsStar 723849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought of another one! I wish I got a pram which the infant carseat could clip into. I feel bad having to wake lo up to put her in the pram. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723839 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:19:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 723839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As much as I love our matching britax stroller, I could have done without the infant seat. #2 gets a maxi cosi. The only reason I didn't us because I was obsessed with seat &amp; stroller being a set. But now I realize that's dumb. I shoulda gotten the maxi because the design is more sleek and I appreciate chic &amp; sleek rather than sporty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723834 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 21:17:36 +0000 Arden 723834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh, so many. We couldn't afford to get everything on the list before she was born, and now we have a three week old and I'm still trying to scrimp for more baby items.</p> <p>- Double Electric Breast Pump (I have a little single manual one, but a double electric would make my life so much easier)<br /> - Bjorn Babysitter Bouncer<br /> - Diaper bag (I'm using a purse and it's not big enough nor does it have pockets)<br /> - Ergo and/or Mei Tai carrier<br /> - More clothes! Poor baby has such a sad tiny wardrobe. </p> <p>I could have done without the R'n'P, as Vi will only sleep in our bed anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723803 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:47:48 +0000 Dandelion 723803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: are you using an infant seat? Have you thought about trying a convertible? Sometimes babies like them better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723797 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:44:18 +0000 Springtime 723797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want a video monitor as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723793 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:41:39 +0000 rybybeach 723793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had a graco snugride stroller. I wish I hadn't bought that sling. We have never really used that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723791 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:40:31 +0000 woodentulip 723791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got rid of my pump for some stupid reason when my LO was about 4 months old. My $400 pump that I was not about to replace (my second kid, and we are done), which has meant that I have been without one since. And that was a dumb move. But other than that, I felt pretty outfitted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723789 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:38:51 +0000 irene 723789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A good baby carrier. We were given one which wasn't very good but we never really buy another one. I heard a good one can last up to when LO is 3 years. </p> <p>We never wore that $50 GAP super-cute-and-warm fur 1-year-old "one-sie / jump suit" DH bought for LO when I was still pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723780 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:32:19 +0000 skibobrown 723780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We really could have used a swing, and we probably could have done without the bouncer. I think it is generally true that your baby prefers one or the other, and we definitely chose wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723753 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:21:17 +0000 Weagle 723753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think LO would have liked the Baby Bjorn bouncer. I want an umbrella stroller.</p> <p> I could have done without our free Bumbo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723735 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:13:01 +0000 autumnlove 723735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want a Baby Bjorn bouncer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723704 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 19:58:03 +0000 HLK208 723704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still want an UBV!!!

I so wosh we had a video monitor. I am dying to actually see how she sleeps now that she's in her crib all night (plus would be so helpful for nighf wakeups to see if she's really awake or what!). And we literally used our free bumbo once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723578 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 18:42:14 +0000 dagret 723578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had gotten the fisher price swing that I wanted instead of the Graco one my husband insisted on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723506 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:53:06 +0000 Running Elley 723506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was littler I wish I'd had a bouncer or rock and play, I also could've done without the bumbo. He didn't love it and now that he's sitting on his own he has zero interest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723497 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:44:32 +0000 luckypenny 723497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want an umbrella stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723470 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:20:51 +0000 Smurfette 723470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love a car seat that she likes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723462 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:15:35 +0000 rattles 723462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I'd had a swing, and while I know I'm in the HB minority, I could have done without our rock n play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723440 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:57:54 +0000 sera_87 723440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beco. </p> <p>Could have done without the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-baby-item-you-wish-you-had#post-723439 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:57:47 +0000 Koolbreeze 723439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wish I had a video monitor.
