- 1 thing you brought a couldn't live without for your newborn
For child no.2 our close caboo sling
- 1 thing you brought and new used/was a complete was of money
For child no.1 our close Caboo sling...
This is part of the problem. Different babies like different things. Even with the sling example, child no.1 bloody hated it. Maybe used it twice max. Child no.2 lived in it and could only be settled by cuddling in the sling.
More generally we found most baby things useful. Yes you could do without a nappy bin etc but lots of things make your life easier. The only wasted things really were newborn outfits, baby shoes (both babies never wore them) and a cot mobile (by the time they went in their cot, the mobile was dangerous so was the most pointless purchase we made as it never left the box).
