I decided to have a little fun with this post. I saw a linky on mommybloghoppers.com, this month's theme was too good to past up!
Now, just because the items listed below were useless for me does not mean you shouldn't give them a try. Motherhood is trial and error: no one knows what works for them until they try. That being said, let's get on with the list!
 |
| Nursing Pillow |
Every time I tried to use a nursing pillow, I only felt fatter and stupider. Being a new mom is hard enough without feeling like a moron for not being able to figure out a good position for the nursing pillow.
 |
| Bibs |
Bibs just gave me false hope that my little one's adorable outfits would survive for more than 2 seconds. Lies, I tell you. Lies!
 |
| Diaper Stacker |
I was a total zombie from the birth of my first child was born until my second child was in preschool. Bags of diapers were everywhere in my house. I didn't even notice we had a diaper stacker until my daughter was 3.
 |
| Any Sort of Baby Carrier |
By the time I figured out how to put the damn thing on, the baby had either fallen asleep or been picked up by a concerned family member. Fail.
 |
| Changing Table |
I think I used our changing table twice. For some reason, both children were pretty much always changed on the couch. Ew, that's pretty gross. Use a changing table people!
What are some baby items you have found to be useless in your home?

Bibs were totally useless for us, too! My daughter wasn't much of a drooler/spitter, so we hardly used them other than when she started eating solids. And even then, we only used the easy-to-wipe off kinds! I liked our nursing pillow, but only for putting my daughter propped up in it before she could sit up. I could never figure out how to use it to actually nurse her lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL Kera, the nursing pillow would just steal all my mommy-confidence every time I tried to use it (for nursing). At least now I know I'm not alone.
DeleteGood for you for admitting you change diapers in the couch, that is totally what I do, :)
ReplyDeleteI never understand why it was so taboo. I mean, as long as nothing is getting on the couch (ew, ewww I don't want to think about that!) then it's perfectly fine.
DeleteI hope. :-P
Thanks for adding this for me! As promised, this post cracked me up. In our home, burp rags were totally pointless. Not because my daughter didn't spit up, but because she spit up so often it was just easier to change my shirt a few times a day than to have to keep one around. Burp rags became like fine china--they only came out for company.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I never thought of that but you are right, they are like fine china. Hmmm...I wonder what other mommy related things I only did when company was around?
DeleteThanks for sharing!
I also changed diapers on the couch, bed or floor on a towel. My changing table saw very little action with both my kids!! :)
ReplyDelete:-) I never understood why is it so taboo? Everyone does it. Oh well.
DeleteThanks for commenting!
I don't know what I would do without my nursing pillow. It's been like MY security blanket ever since my LO was born. But like you said, what works for some, doesn't work for others. That's what I love about being a mom - trial and error! Thanks for the great post. Stopping by from MHB - just linked up!
