Babies don't need many baths/showers anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-did-you-buyregister-for-and-didnt-use#post-134752 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:49:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 134752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually were really minimal on what we registered for, and researched extensively what the actual "essentials" are. So I feel we did a really good job and so far, we've used everything we've gotten (except obviously the stuff he doesn't use til he's older). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-did-you-buyregister-for-and-didnt-use#post-134720 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 21:58:50 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 134720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumbo seat ... and the pack n play (beyond using it as a diaper changing station). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-did-you-buyregister-for-and-didnt-use#post-134717 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 21:52:06 +0000 mrstilly 134717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. The boppy - it didn't fit around me very well and aside from propping DS in it a few times in the early weeks, we never used it. </p> <p>2. disposable cloth diaper liners - I tried these but they never stayed in place and I still had to rinse the diapers. </p> <p>3. A sheet saver - I thought these were useless. I tried it once, but it was really just easier to change the sheet if it got wet. </p> <p>4. frozen teething toys - DS hated these</p> <p>5. microwave sterilization bags - we didn't sterilize anything really, after the initial "boil before using". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-did-you-buyregister-for-and-didnt-use#post-134672 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:56:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 134672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We barely used the Ergo carrier because Wagon Jr. preferred riding in the stroller or his carseat.... he was sweaty and so was I. :) But we're keeping it just in case the next baby likes it. If not we'll probably sell it.</p> <p>We rarely use the skip hop pronto charger as well but we keep it as backup supplies in the car, and when we go out Wagon Jr. likes to carry it like his own briefcase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-did-you-buyregister-for-and-didnt-use#post-134637 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:28:54 +0000 heffalump 134637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rarely used the baby bjorn. We ended up having to get a new swing and tub because LO didn't like them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-items-did-you-buyregister-for-and-didnt-use#post-134635 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:26:34 +0000 Mrs. Bee 134635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was nothing wrong with these items and I know many moms love them, but I just ended up not using them.</p> <p>1) Skip Hop Pronto Changer (I didn't change diapers when we were out and about often since we were always within a couple blocks of home)</p> <p>2) Boppy Lounger - We used the Leahco bathpad instead and a bouncer and didn't end up using this lounger for either Charlie or Olive</p> <p>3) Moby Wrap and Maya Sling - I just wasn't a sling person.</p> <p>I'm sure there are more things I'm forgetting, but those are the things that come to mind immediately. What about you? </p>
