Here are the items we actually needed—and the things I wouldn't buy again.
When pregnant with my first child, my partner and I dutifully put together a baby registry by carefully studying the plethora of available products that promised to offer us a glamorous,at parenthood. We were showered with love and gifted generously. In hindsight, we may have been a little too focused on the aesthetic of what parenthood ‘should’ resemble, rather than acknowledging the messy truth.
… but seeing my baby care so tenderly for his own “baby” made my heart melt. Is it gross? Absolutely. Have I become immune to all things yucky since becoming a parent? I’m getting there.The verdict is in: Wipe warmers don’t make diaper changes any more pleasant. According to all the experts I have spoken to , wipe warmers make for great paper weights—and that’s about it. Warm or cold, you grab whatever is closest when it’s 3 a.m., the baby is screaming and there’s poop running up his back.
Our little one was born with a full head of hair, and my partner quickly became fixated on ordering a comb designed specially for babies. I can still hear the dismay in his voice when it arrived and he exclaimed, “Hey, this is just a regular comb!” Yup. And it did exactly what a regular comb does: sat on the dresser unused. Because if anyone has an excuse for a serious case of bedhead, it’s a newborn.
