like the other person said, i bought a monitor thinking id need one, but monitor or no monitor, i can hear that kid crying from a mile away! this ones kind of small, but the nose bulb, my son cries bloody murder when i use it on him, so that had to go. my sling, never got baby to fit in a comfortable position, that also had to go…and my pack and play was a huge waste of money. so far. but hes only 3 months so maybe hell use it eventually

No high chair – we used a booster seat so that he could always be at the table with us. And no pack and play – my older son was massively claustrophobic, so we gave it away, and never got a new one for my second. No diaper deck – I’m always afraid they’ll fall off, so I changed them both on a pad on the floor. No monitor – my kids are LOUD. I never got the snugli or sling carrier either, because both kids were very heavy, and with 2 c-sections it just didn’t work.

i have a swing, but my son never used it to swing. he hated swinging. so he kind of uses it as a chair/highchair.
i have also never used the carrier/sling thing. horrible. i think that thing was the most uncomfortable thing for both of us. plus, i live in az, where it hits 115 degrees in the summer. baby sling+115 degrees= sweaty baby. not cool.

I don’t have a crib or bassinet. He sleeps in my bed. No stroller- baby carrier instead. No baby bath tub- just the sink. He’s only 2 months, so there’s not much we need at this point. I went to Babies R’ Us a few times, and saw some ridiculously frivolous items, such as Pack and Play with an mp3 player built in- to the tune of $300. No thanks. I’ll sing to my baby.

I never used one of them baby carriers that you wear or a sling. I bought them and ended up selling them on craigslist. I never used the playpen, or the crib. Never used the bouncy seat. Never used the baby bathtub . I just sat in the tub with her on my lap. It was soo much easier. I think alot of that stuff is just hype to make money . They’re all cute and all but cost waaay too much and unless you know your going to be having your kids close together so you can keep it , it usually ends up taking up space and in the end being sold or given away.
