Things You Didnt Need :)

i just realised how much money i could have saved if i hadn't bought useless things for Lottie - eg i bought a carry cot that fixes into my maclaren buggy, but she has now grown out of it and it was £65 - even thpough the buggy is suitable from birth as it lies flat! also i bought so many clothes that by the time Lottie can waer some they are too small!

i was just wondering what other things people bought that they didnt need - especially for older babies as i am a bit strapped for cash atm xxx

  • a bottle warmer/mini fridge that you keep in your bedroom. The fridge was good but i always ended up on the sofa feeding her and kettle water was faster!
    I went over the top with clothes too even though she was such a tiny baby- the thing was i bought everything in the size she should have been at that age but she was always ALOT smaller!
    So many toys that they never use.....erm can't think of any thing else atm but i know there are loads of things i overstocked on!!!

  • Too many newborn nappies! Had too many clothes aswell, especially as Ryan grew far too quick, but they were all second hand or brought for me. Tip - Primark is great for kids clothes, especially things like baby grows! One of those carry slings - never used it but again was donated. And toys. Im already stuck at what to buy my little man as pressies and he's only 4! xxx

  • i got too many clothes and a comfort blanket which is completely useless :/
    can't think of anything else but i agree with @ryansmummyuk primark is amazing for children and baby things such as clothes :) x
