Welcome back to Mommy Talk Tuesday!! 

This week's topic is: Best and Worst Baby Items! Which items are you SO glad you spent the money on or received as a gift and what items were not worth it and didn't get used? 

So here's my list:

Best Baby Items:

1. Boppy- Even if you're not nursing this thing is a must have! It's great for having under baby while you're holding him/her and sore from childbirth. It's great for propping baby up after a feeding or setting baby in for a second when you have to go pee or grab some food! And it's even great for doing tummy time with baby! 

2. Swing- Baby swings aren't the cheapest must have items but I think they are well worth the money! They are great for putting baby in to let him/her sleep, or to swing while you tend to an older child or to the house. Baby's love them too! 

3. Nipple Butter- This was a must have for me since I am breastfeeding! Those first two weeks are pretty rough when it comes to nursing! I don't care what anyone says, there will be pain! Even if your baby latches perfectly, your nipples have to adjust to being sucked raw every two hours! So nipple cream was a lifesaver for me and such a relief to my sore nipples! 

4. Wrap or Carrier- This is essential to me, especially with an infant and a toddler! It is so much easier to wear baby so I can be hands free to help out my 3 year old when need be! It's so nice to be able to wear Isaac and have free hands to hold hands with Noah when we are out and about! A wrap or a carrier is a must for me!

Worst or Unnecessary Baby Items:

1. Bumbo- I know a lot of mamas love these things but not me. They are supposed to help your baby sit even before they can actually sit up on their own and they have a cool little tray and seem really cool. I never had one for Noah and he sat up on his own at 4 months old. With Isaac I just HAD to have one so I bought one used for $25 (they are almost $40 new!!!) and used it for maybe a month. Isaac didn't like it at all and always tried to wiggle out of it. It's just not worth the money to me.

2. Wipes Warmer- Had one, used it like twice then realized it was too much trouble and just not worth it. If the wipe is really cold I warm it between my hands for a second before I put it on baby's bum. It's a simple as that.

3. Socks! When Isaac was a newborn I just put him in footed sleepers all the time to make sure he was warm. Socks never fit right and never stayed on so they were/are worthless to me!
