10 Essential Newborn Items *Possible Baby Shower Gifts*

Since my sister is weeks away from welcoming her first in to the world, I can't help but find myself wondering around Amazon and other sites, looking at all the latest and greatest in the world of "baby stuff".  (You know, since MY little guy is approaching his one year birthday...)

I recently came across this list of "Newborn Essentials" -- and it claims to be 10 items "You Probably Didn't Know You Needed"

While I think much of this is true, I can't help but wonder, if y'all agree or disagree?  What would you add or take off this list?  :o)  I have SEVEN of these items -- and y'all know I think many baby items aren't essential!

Click here: 10 Essential Newborn Items and come back and tell me what you think!  


"Moses Basket": This item made #10 on the list....  Agree or disagree?


Keep on saving!  :o)

  1. I don't see that any of them are essentials or must-haves. The mattress protector would maybe make the list, but most the crib mattresses are already made to be "water-proof". If the crib sheet gets wet, then the mattress protector will usually get wet too & now you have 2 items to wash instead of just the sheet. The mattress protector would be more of a suffication hazard than an essential. I have successfully raised 4 children and the only thing on the list I had was a glider, but only when kid #3 was a baby.

    Now that my oldest daughter is about to have her 2nd child, I would not buy any of these for her to use.

Ditching the Sponge

Ditching the Sponge This summer I accomplished something I once thought unthinkable: I gave up the sponge.  It was a gripping addiction, harder to kick than a nasty nicotine habit.   ...a habit that had the ability to spar k the silliest of arguments amongst even the best of   roomies.  Right, SwimBikeMom ?  :P  But once again, I digress; that's a blog for another day. Perhaps a tad  OCD, I was one of *those* people who had a sponge designated for various parts of the kitchen: one for the floor, one for the counters, and another one for dishes.  I knew for quite some time that sponges were a breeding ground for all things disgusting; however, I was not keen on the idea of using paper towels, or other disposable products -- I had  to find a GREEN alternative to sponges.
