Baby shoes, diaper pail, the sash thing you carry baby in, diaper warmer, tons of bottles, baby bath tub(as newborn newborn I used it but after bout 2 months I'd fill the tub lay a towel down and put baby on it) baby food/bottle warmer, snow suit, evenflo carseats! Hated the base! Got another new one 2 weeks after baby was born. Switched to graco

Wipes warmer, it made the wipes dry out faster, diaper pail and reuse able breast pads if you breast feed. The disposable ones cost a bit, but work much better.

I'd have to say the travel system was a waste for me. I know it sounds crazy, although it was really nice ( chicco), it was just too big. The stroller took up so much room. This time I just bought the new chicco echo, its a deluxe umbrella stroller, it reclined & lightweight. Perfect for my 3 yr old & my new baby due in may.. highly recommend..$99

I'm a ftm but I've watched many many babies in my lifetime and I believe changing tables are a waste. I never used them, just plopped baby on the bed or on a towel on the floor for the really messy ones!

I agree about Baby shoes and swaddlers. An under the armpit thermometer, those don't work get an ear one. In my opinion, the shopping cart liners, because when their little id bring the carrier in and hook it. The diaper genie is actually pretty gross having all those dirty diapers in the house. I loved the boppy pillow tho.

Diaper genie. High chair. Non converting crib. A ton of newborn clothes or pampers. They don't stay that small for long at all. A ton of bottles till u know what one the baby likes. Size0 shoes.

I had twins used the diaper pail for maybe a month, wipe warmer, the swaddler blankets (receiving blankets were better!), a ton of the same brand of bottle just cause you like it doesn't mean baby will, I never used my boppy nursing pillow... Thats all I can think of right now

Diaper pail,  stroller with small wheels since we used or jogging one for everything, and a huge high high chair.  We used a portable/folding one that was way cheaper.  I loved it wipe warmer! Especially since we had our son circumcised.  We put the medicine in there so it was warm and easy to spread. Also loved my boppy for feeding.
