Swore I'd never buy one, but ended up giving in when she was a few days old. Warm wipes did the trick though - she quit screaming her head off during diaper changes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-products-did-you-swear-youd-never-buybut-now-own#post-373815 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:22:33 +0000 prettylizy 373815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crib toys... I didn't want anything dangling off her crib for her to play with, but I got one of those fisher price aquariums, and she loves watching her 'fishes' before bed at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-products-did-you-swear-youd-never-buybut-now-own#post-373787 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:15:06 +0000 autumnlove 373787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wipe warmer, AA blankets, cloth diapers, BOB stroller, expensive umbrella stroller and bottle warmer!

I caved in when LO was 5 weeks - it saved us and helped him take at least one good nap a day. Now he likes to just swing for a while and look around but he won't fall asleep in it so it doesn't mess with his crib naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-products-did-you-swear-youd-never-buybut-now-own#post-373371 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:31:48 +0000 yellowbird 373371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A wipe warmer! I thought it was pointless, but then LO would scream when we changed her diaper the first week. That's when I knew I'd buy anything to make her happy! </p> <p>I don't think he even cares about it now. Oh well!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-products-did-you-swear-youd-never-buybut-now-own#post-373358 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:27:00 +0000 shopaholic 373358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: LOL! I can SO imagine that would be me!</p> <p>I hate clutter and when you go to people's houses that have been completely overtaken by toys and kids stuff everywhere! But I'm sure with grandparents and DH, we will soon become one of them! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-products-did-you-swear-youd-never-buybut-now-own#post-373335 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:17:50 +0000 cvbee 373335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>exersaucer</p> <p>and to add to that, if I were in charge of buying all my own toys I wouldn't have had most of them....I had this dreamy image of everything beautiful wood or organic cotton, you know, that kind of stuff. And of course, LO ignores the beautiful wood teether and always goes for the gawdy Nuby Ring Teether, his absolute favourite toy, rubber-plastic-y yuck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-products-did-you-swear-youd-never-buybut-now-own#post-373286 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:07:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 373286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't going to buy toys with music hahaha! yeah right .DS loves them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-products-did-you-swear-youd-never-buybut-now-own#post-373284 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:06:55 +0000 ValentineMommy 373284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nosefrida and a baby carrier.

I was convinced I'd never buy either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-baby-products-did-you-swear-youd-never-buybut-now-own#post-373258 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:58:21 +0000 Ree723 373258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant, I swore I would never spend the money on a boppy pillow. I thought they were stupid and a normal pillow could function just as well. Yeah....not so much. We were given one as a gift when LO was 3 weeks old and bf'ing became a thousand times easier instantaneously! So grumpy I didn't get one sooner.</p> <p>I also swore I would never get a Sophie - I thought they were just an overpriced teething toy that was no different from any other teething toy. Once again, not so much! We finally just got one for LO and she can finally, finally chew on something she can not only manipulate, but also get relief from! Again, kicking myself for not getting this weeks ago when she started teething!</p> <p>What products did you swear you'd never get, but have since given in to? Are you happy you gave in and got them? Or was it as gimmicky/unnecessary as you thought it would be? </p>
