What baby equipment (so to speak) is worth spending a lot on, and what's not worth spending $ on?




Do your ow


Stroller?
Crib?
Infant car seat?
Diaper bag?
Books?
Cloth diapers?
Toys?
Clothes?
Etc, etc, etc?



Answer
Stroller? I honestly used mine about 4 times, the big huge one that came with the carseat- I held him or used a sling. Plus the big ones that come with a carseat are huge-they take up my whole trunk of the car!

Crib? I got one, but it's rarely used since we decided to cosleep-I change his diaper on it but that's about it.

Infant car seat? read the reviews and buy the best-you can't put a price on safety.

Diaper bag? never bought one, I got a free one at the hospital with formula samples (which I threw out). Still using it 16 months later!

Books? you mean books about raising a baby? If you have the internet you can get ideas from that.

Cloth diapers? I use these! The average savings is $2000 for the first child. Check out www.diaperpin.com and www.diaperjungle.com for different types-they aren't rubber pants and pins anymore!

Toys? you are the biggest source of entertainment for your baby. Plus people always buy your baby toys-I think I've bought a few things here and there-I like wooden toys-they last a lot longer than plastic.

Clothes? They grow so fast, so don't stock up on newborn clothes! Buy them secondhand, I mostly used onesies when we were home.

Other things to consider are playmats, a playpen if you need to run in the other room and want to keep baby out of stuff, nail clippers, booger suckers, receiving blankets for swaddling, washcloths, lotions, soap.

Things I have that I rarely used:baby monitor since we coslept, diaper genie since you can't put cloth in there, the diaper stacker that hangs off the crib.

If u have an infant under the age of 2 can u help me with this?
