I don't do super huge ones though.</p> <p>I really hate Robeez and baby Uggs. I think they're hideous. I also don't get "boutique" baby clothes. My friend is obsessed with Persnickety and Matilda Jane and she spends like $50+ on one outfit for her 6 month old, not to mention that it's not that cute. Ridonkulous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438730 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 00:00:07 +0000 littlek 438730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm guilty of all these... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438723 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 23:49:36 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 438723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I'd be on anxiety meds without my angelcare monitor!</p> <p>I haaaate the blankies with the stuffed animal attached:/<br /> But I am guilty of the overpriced designer clothing and the shoes:/ I figure I can hand them down to my sister's future kids though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438655 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:45:46 +0000 sera_87 438655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>those headbands with fake hair attached....wut the??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438624 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:22:11 +0000 smocks 438624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: Agreed on the Angelcare monitors, I feel like that's a little over the top. Although we did get a video monitor for the baby, so I'm guilty of being mildly over the top ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438609 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 20:58:39 +0000 prettylizy 438609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I find that funny because I hate shoes too, but I put them on her mostly to keep her feet warm. I'm guessing in florida you don't have that kind of problem. I also use shoes to keep her socks on her feet around the house so that her feet don't get cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438596 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 20:48:15 +0000 eeh 438596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love Sophie and have 4 wubbanubs. I have tons of headbands and bows but just can't do the crocheted headbands or the big flowers. </p> <p>The baby item I think is silly is a baby bath. We have one (huge) bathroom and I have no desire to store a plastic sink sized contraption after every bath. We use a $6 bath sponge from Target whch does great and is small enough to hang on the towel bar in the tub. Oh and don't even get me started on the inflatable tubs. Seriously..who has room for that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438480 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:04:35 +0000 Rubies 438480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE my wipes warmer!

I didn't start putting them on my prewalker until it got cold. Next summer she can choose when to wear them when they're not required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438455 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 18:41:12 +0000 HLK208 438455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: lol I'm so that mom with the headbands!</p> <p>I don't understand bumbo's...they are so pricey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438448 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 18:34:14 +0000 shopaholic 438448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thenetexan: Yeah I saw that but they all have some color strip going through them: orange, pink, green, blue.

Like I goof on the weird outfits my mom put us in in the 80s and 90s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438391 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:47:28 +0000 Rescuemom10 438391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im with the wipe warmer...my thinking is if I am out in town or NOT at my house, LO is going to get it at room temp. Why get her use to a nice warm one when she isnt going to have it all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438381 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:42:39 +0000 heffalump 438381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: my lo is 16 months and still not a real walker so I don't always put shoes on her if I'm just running into the store. Her feet wont touch the ground. Sh says she looks like white trash without shoes... But I still think of her as a baby and in my world babies dont need shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly/page/2#post-438342 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:23:50 +0000 Weagle 438342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Like the ones that protect the seat of your car?

I'm not a fan either. I know someone that actually used the Angelcare + Snuza + other monitor all at the same time...

And I think its fine when others do it for style, I think baby shoes are adorable. I'm just lazy I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly#post-438246 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 16:21:37 +0000 Thenetexan 438246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shopaholic: oxo makes a good plain box for wipes. I replaced my warmer as soon as I found that. Amazon sells it. I liked the warmer for the newborn stage but I could never remember to wet the sponge and DS eventually had to get used to a room temperature wipe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly#post-438236 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 16:14:03 +0000 Weagle 438236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I don't really like shoes on LOs before walking either, but I know no other way to keep her feet warm when we go out now that it's cold. Socks are off in seconds, and the shoes help a little (she usually gets those off, too). Though, if we lived in FL like you, she would never be in shoes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-popular-baby-item-do-you-think-is-silly#post-438222 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 16:07:31 +0000 heffalump 438222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shoes before they walk.
