Let’s see
▼Changing table
The reason why you don’t need them is you would only use it for 3 months at most! The baby will grow to be more active and will move a lot, also the place will be smaller for the baby. So rather than than, it was advised to buy a changing pad where it is easy to use everywhere and to bring.
▼ 1.Fancy infant bathtub
This bathtub is very popular as it has its own thermometer and water temperature display. However, a normal baby bathtub works just fine to bathe your newborn.
▼2. Hi-tech electric baby rocker
From experience, a lot of people buy a very fancy bay rocker but end up being hated by their child. Maybe you could try to put your baby on someone’s else baby rocker and then decide if you really need it or you can just buy an affordable one first.
▼ 3.Baby booties
You can buy it but don’t spend too much on it. Usually, people buy booties and use them for photoshoots and that is basically it. Rather than that, you can spend and buy cute baby socks instead. Baby socks are very comfortable and also warm for the baby~
▼ 4.Newborn baby bibs
If you have a baby that vomit, spit or drool a lot, then it would be a very valuable item to have. Other than that, you don’t need to spend that much on baby bibs. Some baby has to spit up when we burp them but since we usually have a napkin or specific cloth for it, we don’t really use bibs. Plus, baby bibs also cannot be worn while sleeping as it is dangerous for the baby.
▼5. Baby blankets
Yes, they are cute. Yes, they look comfortable. But, you don’t need a lot of them. Apparently, we shouldn’t let babies sleep with blankets, pillows, etc because it increases the risk of SIDS. But, if you still want to have a cute blanket for your baby as an aesthetic purpose, well it is not harmful to buy one~
