Children's things that you are wasting your money

Before enumerating absolutely useless, in my opinion, the things I want to give you a few principles that greatly ease your life at the time of buying children's clothes.

3 Number of main principles

1. First try, then buy

All children are different, and the good thing is absolutely unnecessary for the other one child. Therefore, before you buy something (especially expensive children's furniture, educational toys), take it at a friend try. If possible, of course.

Perhaps your child will be happy to drive in a walker, or maybe he did not sit in them. Maybe he likes highchair, and maybe it will be filled with bitter tears every time you try to put it there. Incidentally, these are simple like plastic chairs, as if made of meteorite and dinosaur bones.

2. Buy as needed

Some prefer to stock up on baby clothes and all sorts of devices in advance for the future. The problem is that these things can not be useful. I, for example, even during pregnancy bought Langering boards, but in the end the kid dresses up in his crib, on vesolenkom waterproof mattress pad.

3. Always remember that children grow fast

The smaller the child, the faster he grows. Some things you did not even have time to put on the baby. Toys quickly bored, clothes become small. So when thinking about whether to buy a thing, remember that it is useful to you in the month 2-3, and then become useless.

List of unnecessary things

1. Envelope to be discharged

If winter envelopes can still be useful: walk at first, though very briefly, that summer, in my opinion, completely useless waste of money. The child will visit him only once, but they cost about 3000 rubles.

2. Langering boards or table

I was quite convenient disguise baby on a waterproof mattress pad, down just one side of the crib. If on the bed to change clothes uncomfortable, you can do it on any table, having spread oilcloth.

3. Diapers

Without the one-time, probably not enough. At least I do not have friends who would refuse single-use diapers at all. But at home the child may well drive in reusable nappies. If we calculate savings will be significant.

4. Chairs for feeding

As I wrote above, they are expensive. It is possible to replace such a device in the usual high chair where the child will sit at the adult table. Just leave him alone, and he did not fall.

Another option - high chair booster, which is cheaper than the usual highchair.

5. cradles

The first time your child uncomfortable in a large crib, and many people buy a special cradle that cost 10 to 80 thousand rubles (probably there are more expensive). Instead of a cradle, you can use the usual avtolyulki: shake hands, on your lap or hang it in the doorway. When child fall asleep, to shift it into the crib with soft edges.

6. Basin for swimming with slide

We bathed the baby in a basin just a couple of times, and then bought a round for swimming and bathing in the bath.

7. Baby Care

The bulk of children's cosmetics does not apply. I used a minimum: foam for swimming (very rare), sterile oil. I did not buy any powders and creams for diaper: skin, everything was fine, but some of these tools will be useful for sure.

8. Aspirator (if the child is not sick)

Aspirators are cheap, it is, in fact, two small pieces of plastic, connected by a tube. But they need to buy special disposable tips, which are rapidly running out. If a child is not cold, why to clean his nose aspirator?

9. New clothes, especially expensive

Even before the birth of the child's friends have given us a lot of children's clothes, so I bought quite a bit: some raspashonok, sliders, body. And all the same half of the purchased is not useful, we did not even put on a few things. Newborn grow very quickly, so try to buy as little as possible: you have to buy in addition all that will be needed, if necessary.

10. Baby Monitor

This purchase will come in handy for those who have a big house or a very large apartment. If you are sitting in the next room, you really think that you hear when the baby cries? Even hear your neighbors.

11. The canopy over the bed

It's just a dust collector.

12. Expensive and sophisticated toys

Very young children can only play this way: stick in the mouth or thrown out of the crib. A little later, from 6 months to a year, they may have to knock over anything or break into pieces, and then shove in your mouth.

In general, complex toys lose their meaning. For a small child gets a toy any safest thing, with the same interest he will play a teaspoon, which does not cost you anything, and expensive colored rattle.

13. walker

Healthy children learn to walk without a walker, which still can not leave the child for more than 15 minutes. Babies with some disorders, such as hyper legs walkers generally contraindicated. Incorrect load distribution may aggravate the situation.

14. bottle warmer

Many mothers who have bought this device, use it on the strength of two times. And then warm water to reconstitute the powder taken out of the kettle and allowed to cool under the tap, and the children's mashed potatoes warm in the microwave, which is probably in every home. The heater can be useful if you plan to travel with infants.

15. Baby scales, with cradles

It is not cheap device is useful only in case of problems with the weight of the child. Why do you constantly weigh the baby? This is because every month will do to the children's clinic.

16. Wet wipes heater

It seems, this thing is to create conditions for superteplichnyh baby. When parents try to shield the child from even the slightest discomfort in the form of cool, wet wipes, they provide him a disservice.

17. Bucket for used diapers

It is too fantastic. If the diapers so much smell, just wrap them in packing bags before throwing in the trash, and the problem is solved.

18. Leash for a child

In fact, the leash is necessary to keep a child from falling when he had learned to walk, but still very unstable. But since you do not give your baby to learn to fall correctly and gently and wake up alone.

If the leash is used to the child ran out onto the road, while mom or dad sticky smartphone or communicate with friends, it looks terrible. However, parents of hyperactive children a different perspective on this issue.

And what kinds of things for the children you think useless? What was not useful to you, and that from this list, on the contrary, it is very handy? Share your experiences in the comments.
