Now that B is 8 months old.... I packed away her 0-3 months and 3-6 months clothes that other day. While I was sitting on the floor, with huge piles of clothes around me, I looked around in her room and noticed that there are items we bought / were given at the baby shower but were never used / touched!
So... here goes the list:
Itzbeen -- did not even use it once! Did not know why I bought it in the first place... must be peer pressure!
Receiving blankets -- got way too many! The three I like the most are given to us by my coworker. Big enough to swaddle B when she was a newborn. I dropped the whole "swaddling" thing when B was a month old... yup... call me a bad mom!
Baby Nail Clippers -- What's wrong with using the adult one? It works way way better!
Baby Powder -- I got 2 whole cans! Seriously... who uses this stuff?
Johnson & Johnson products -- We received them as gifts... jumbo size of everything! The head to toe wash dries up B's skin like mad! The Bedtime Body Wash is simply a big fat joke. If your baby does not want to sleep at night... even if you bath her in the entire bottle of bedtime body wash won't even do a thing! I prefer to use "all natural" body wash on B as it does not contain any chemicals and most importantly of all, the "baby scents" of the J&J products make me want to barf!
Nursing pillow -- I used it twice as a nursing pillow, then didn't use it again until B starting to sit on her own (when she was 7 months old) and used it for support for her.
Slumber bear -- this thing is a j.o.k.e. and B hates it!
Sleep Sheep -- Bought it when B was 4 months old, used it for 1.5 months. B is a good sleeper and she does not really need a Sleep Sheep to help her to sleep. She prefers Pachelbel's Canon in D! My daughter is classical music baby!
Pacifiers -- B hates pacifiers. The day she found her thumb was the day she stopped taking a soother! Good Job Bethany!
Graco's Sweetpeace Infant Soothing Center -- It is a complete waste of money. B was in it for only a handful of times. She hated it so much that she cried at the top of her lung when she was in it! We ended up selling it and got a basic Graco Power Swing and she loves it!
Diaper Genie -- We switched B to cloth diapers when she was 8 weeks old! So we only used the diaper genie for 8 weeks... and it has been sitting in B's room, collecting dust since!
