Ben of Open Switch (the creative genius behind this great Wordpress the Unsleepable theme) posted a list of 6 Baby Accessories You Don’t Need. The six items he writes about in his blog are:
- Diaper Genie
- Boppy
- Baby Bathtub
- Bottle Warmer
- Baby Wipes Warmer
- Shopping Cart / High Chair Cover
I have disagree with number two though, the Boppy pillow. It is needed if you want to multi-task while snuggling with your sleeping baby. Elaine had found a new use for the Boppy Pillow a few months ago. I’ve seen her check emails, pay bills, even post blog articles while baby Sophie is sleeping comfortably on the Boppy pillow.
One other item which has to be on the list is: Baby Water! Who is the marketing genius behind that concept? They simply slap on a cute picture of baby and tell you it’s good for your baby but do not say why. Some other brands advertise that fluoride has been added, but isn’t that already in your tap water? We just use filtered tap water when we mix Sophie’s formulas. Don’t be fooled, save your money for diapers and wipes.

Boppy pillow? LOL! What a funny name.
And baby water? wth? You crazy Americans, you.
Hi zzap –
Yes, it’s a funny name.. unique and helps people remember it. Baby water is for those who are naive enough to buy them. Thanks for stopping by!
