Baby/toddler products is a fast growing, and very seductive market. New mamas are an easy mark, we haven't had much sleep, and are quite susceptible to marketing campaigns. However, don't be fooled by these gimmicks. You don't really need them.
The Wipe Warmer
 |
| No baby has every complained of room temperature wipes. |
Breastfeeding pillows
 |
| We had three of these; I guess I was sucked in by the Boppy charm. However, a bed or couch pillow works just the same. |
Baby Bath Thermometer
 |
| Seriously? You could just dip your hand in the water to test the temperature. |
Shopping Cart Cover
 |
| Don't worry, it's ok for the baby to lick the hand rail every now and then. It builds resistance. |
Baby "Food Mill"
 |
| Buy a blender! |
Travel Wipe Warmer
 |
| God forbid your baby should have a cold tush on the go. |

The Tummy Tub
 |
| This "bathtub" costs nearly $45. A 5-gallon paint bucket costs about $2.50 at Home Depot. |
