It just never occurs to me to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796905 Tue, 21 May 2013 03:00:27 +0000 78h2o 796905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bouncy chair, Boppy, Bumbo, &amp; Bathtub - apparently gear beginning with "B". Luckily most of these thing were borrowed. We do use them all but could have lived without them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796903 Tue, 21 May 2013 02:52:32 +0000 Penny Lane 796903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the tub. granted I think it was only $5, but it still takes up space because I don't know what to do with it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796897 Tue, 21 May 2013 02:06:06 +0000 shopaholic 796897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moby - have never used it since the K'tan is so easy!<br /> Bottles - sure we need a few, but I prefer the TT ones I bought. We have all the Medela ones and a DOZEN glass bottles my aunt gave us still in the gift basket. Just don't need so many with BFing!<br /> Love my Boppy! I even got a travel one because I couldn't stand nighttime feedings without!</p> <p>@LuLu Mom: our LO doesn't care for the gliding chair either. But we still use it when she wants to be held asleep. I love it though so it's worth it to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796891 Tue, 21 May 2013 01:10:05 +0000 lemondrop 796891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The baby bath chair- we used it for the first 8ish weeks until we got comfortable handling him. We never used a baby tub, just the big tub. Next time I would probably get one of those bath aprons or just lay the baby down in the tub with a towel to cushion. </p> <p>Also the Infantino/Bjorn style carrier, we only used it for the first month before it started hurting our backs. So glad I bought it used for $10. </p> <p>We actually still use the swing, it was one of our best purchases! Each baby is different :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796814 Mon, 20 May 2013 22:06:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 796814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moby - ugh, what a waste of money :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796776 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:41:53 +0000 PinkElephant 796776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. chen: There's still hope for your Ergo! My daughter didn't fit in it for almost six months (she was too little without the insert, which we didn't have bc it's so hot and humid here). She LOVES it now though.</p> <p>We got very little use out of the bumbo, sleep sheep, and our baby bath. The swing and jumperoo were well loved, but short lived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796756 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:32:11 +0000 dolphin 796756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 5 months and I have yet to use the Ergo. I really want to use it but every time I try it out around the house she didnt look too comfortable so I would take it off after five minutes. I hope she will eventually like it because its so cute when I see other mommas and papas wear their babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796753 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:30:25 +0000 ksnow 796753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The pack and play, bumbo, &amp; k'tan. (Altho I got the Boba since the K'tan hurt my back and use it ALL the time.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796744 Mon, 20 May 2013 21:15:51 +0000 MrsF 796744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never got the hang of the moby. We ended up with a beco gemini. . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796687 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:43:13 +0000 Ree723 796687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The sling - we tried it once and didn't even have her halfway in before she was screaming her head off. Also, the jumperoo - it's so big and so expensive (nearly $200 here) and she used it maybe 10 times max. Maybe if we hadn't been overseas from 5.5 months to 7 months old, she may have gotten more use out of it, but as it stands now, it was a huge waste of money and space.</p> <p>Also could have lived without the bumbo and our inflatable bathtub as we just used a bath sling/terry cloth covered frame (a $7 purchase that was worth its weight in gold!) until she could sit up on her own. I liked the boppy and used it a lot, but a standard pillow worked just as well and if it hadn't been a gift, I would never have bought it. </p> <p>Oh our biggest waste was bottles - LO has never really taken a bottle so we have loads of bottles and hundreds of the drop in liners that are just not ever going to be used with is LO. I always meant to get her to take a bottle of pumped milk regularly but just never got around to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796675 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:34:35 +0000 Honeybee 796675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave our Boppy away; I maybe used it once. We also used the swing only a handful of times. Neither kid liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796674 Mon, 20 May 2013 20:33:18 +0000 MsLipGloss 796674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moby - it's still in the box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796290 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:31:44 +0000 aprk 796290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're only seven weeks in, but so far I can't think of anything we have that hasn't gotten good use. Except for maybe the ring sling, since he prefers the Boba wrap. I'm hoping the ring sling will get used more as he gets older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796280 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:28:16 +0000 StbHisMrs 796280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumbo and Boppy. Pillows were easier for me than the boppy pillow and she would arch her back and almost tip backwards in the bumbo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796258 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:17:56 +0000 Sweet T 796258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The swing. I was so glad I bought one used and it only cost me $40. DS hated it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796250 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:14:23 +0000 Lindsay05 796250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bouncy Chair. She used it maybe twice. It was just too boring for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear/page/2#post-796237 Mon, 20 May 2013 16:00:44 +0000 yerpie110 796237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bouncy chair and pnp. Glad both were hand-me-downs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-796210 Mon, 20 May 2013 15:50:53 +0000 Smurfette 796210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swing, she hates it. Glad it is just a hand me down and we didn't spend any money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-796205 Mon, 20 May 2013 15:49:18 +0000 ladyfingers 796205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swing and baby carriers (yes, plural, three to be exact). He hates them all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795902 Mon, 20 May 2013 14:23:03 +0000 littlek 795902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swing, bouncy chair and bumbo... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795898 Mon, 20 May 2013 14:21:26 +0000 heffalump 795898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby carrier. LO never liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795890 Mon, 20 May 2013 14:18:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 795890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the bebepod - she used it once or twice before she mastered sitting on her own. and I couldn't successfully feed her in it, cause she'd twist the tray and almost pop it off! kid's strong.</p> <p>and the baby tub that we registered for (the nemo one) I didn't consider...we thought the sling would be good until she could sit, well she hated it! it kept her up out of the water and freezing. I ended up laying her in the tub on a hand towel, and folding another hand towel under her head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795806 Mon, 20 May 2013 13:59:59 +0000 fancyfunction 795806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used the boppy or the sleep sheep - it's still hanging on her crib but we always play music instead. We also got a JJ Cole car seat cover as a gift and I never used it - easier for me to just use a blanket. I did donate the boppy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795607 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:56:42 +0000 anbanan15 795607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swing, boppy, crib, bibs off the top of my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795598 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:54:32 +0000 BlueWolverine 795598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know everyone loves the Rock and Play, but we never used it. She was in the crib on night three and slept in her swing if not in the crib (or our arms). Never got the hang of the K'tan, but love the Ergo. We use our baby tub all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795555 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:42:16 +0000 winniebee 795555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely used the boppy. LO was too tiny at first to use BF. Did use it some for tummy time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795541 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:39:49 +0000 LemonLong 795541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cradle (never used it, however the cat loves to nap in it), the bouncer, and the bumbo were our least used items. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795539 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:39:14 +0000 Bao 795539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the bumbo, she used it a handful of times but that's it. I had a sling that I used a couple of times too, and like it, but then she got too big for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-least-used-gear#post-795514 Mon, 20 May 2013 12:31:24 +0000 bamblm 795514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The newborn napper/diaper changer attachment for the pack and play. We also had a ton of clothes from the shower that never even got the tags ripped off. </p>
