Baby Items I Regret Buying!!!

Okay so every one is different, but here are some baby items that I either never used, found useless, or disliked.

NUMERO UNO: Baby socks: I don't know how this has occurred, but I think Autumn has more socks than me. Probably over 40 pairs. And what baby needs 40 pairs of socks? Not including the fact that she kicks them off after 5 minutes. USELESS!!!!

2. Nasal Aspirator (aka: booger sucker): It's not that I dislike this product because I don't. I just added this to the list because I went and bought one and I completely forgot that hospitals give you one for free...most of the time. So now I have 2 of them.

3. Receiving Blankets: Okay...it's 2012, most people use "swaddle me" blankets which are pretty much pre-sewn blankets with velcro so it's easier and less likely for the baby to bust out of their swaddle. Everyone ALWAYS told me "you can't have enough receiving blankets"...I extremely beg to differ. I have less than 10 receiving blankets and I use maybe 1 a week. I mean what are they really used for...receiving? Receiving what?? I only use them if I don't have a burp rag or Autumn doesn't have a bib on. The good thing about receiving blankets though..is you can turn them into cloth wipes if you're cloth diapering.

4. Baby Mittens: After 1 or 2 weeks...these become completely useless! Unless you're afraid to cut your babies nails (which you'll have to overcome someday). I have maybe 5 or 6 pairs and I only used them twice. And when I did use them Autumn just soaked them with slobber.

5. Crib Bumpers: I honestly feel that crib bumpers are purely decorative. Unless you have a baby that scoots around a lot (which I know babies that do that) But in that case there are breathable bumpers which are much safer than the bumpers that come in a crib set. The decorative bumpers are SO thick!!! And seriously..think about it...you have bumpers in your babies crib when they're a newborn so they won't hurt themselves, but they can't even roll over or move yet. But when they start rolling over you're supposed to take them out because of the risk of suffocation. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of bumpers??
