And one you could have done without?
I wish I had a video monitor and I could have done without the Bumbo. LO has used it a handful of times, and thankfully it was from a garage sale, but we could have done without if need be.

I would love different wraps/carriers! I want a Mei Tai STILL! And we could've done without the bumbo too! We really went the minimalist route though so that's really the only thing that didn't get used.

A swing and a video monitor. We really didn't buy much that we haven't used. Our friend gave us her bumbo but, by the time she gave it to us, DD learned to sit on her own.

Video monitor! Lo is still in our room but I would still love to have a video monitor. Tried to convince dh to get one but he said there was no point.

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.

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.

I wish I had gotten the fisher price swing that I wanted instead of the Graco one my husband insisted on.

@Bao: I have the same answer as you! 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.

I think LO would have liked the Baby Bjorn bouncer. I want an umbrella stroller.

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.

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.
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.

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!

I wish I had a graco snugride stroller. I wish I hadn't bought that sling. We have never really used that.

@Smurfette: are you using an infant seat? Have you thought about trying a convertible? Sometimes babies like them better!

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.
- Double Electric Breast Pump (I have a little single manual one, but a double electric would make my life so much easier)
- Bjorn Babysitter Bouncer
- Diaper bag (I'm using a purse and it's not big enough nor does it have pockets)
- Ergo and/or Mei Tai carrier
- More clothes! Poor baby has such a sad tiny wardrobe.
I could have done without the R'n'P, as Vi will only sleep in our bed anyway.

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 & 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 & sleek rather than sporty.

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.

@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

@Dandelion: We have an infant seat. I read that convertible is better for some but then what so we do about a stroller?

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!

@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.
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.
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.

@luckypenny: me too!!!! I want the maclaren quest.
I could've done without the bouncy chair!
Never had a rnp...probably a good thing though that I didn't know much about them!

@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?

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.

@Dandelion: I just hate to spend all that money if she doesn't like it still. Plus she seems so little for it. She just weighed 9.14 on Tuesday at her one month appointment.

I wish we had bought a video monitor, although we survived fine without it.
We could have done with the Bumbo and the PnP.
