The good, the bad, and the ugly ... part 2 - Bath time

   Last time I wrote about baby clothing and all the inns and outs of it. Today I would like to get to baby gear. By baby gear, I mean the equipment used every day with the exclusion of big ticket items. I will write about big ticket items (like cribs, car seats, and strollers) another time. So what are some of the equipment that I want to mention. I will divide them into "Bath", "change time", "play time", "out and about". So here it goes:

The good, the bad, and the ugly .... part 1 - baby clothes.

   When you are pregnant with your baby, especially when it's your first baby, it's really easy to get sucked into buying a million products that offer to "make your life easier" or "give you more time" or "make your baby smarter, more independent, better sleeper ...." I was there too. What I have learned over the years that babies need very little, and all these "things" just end up clogging up your house and making life harder for you. I am not even mentioning the money I have spent on useless things that were supposed to make my life easier. So what is really needed  for the baby in the first few months? Here is a list of the good, the bad, and the ugly.The Good are the items that I found absolutely necessary or very, very helpful in the first few months (I will tackle toddler items in a later post). The Bad are the items that I really made without or that they didn't make any difference. The Ugly are the things that are really a waste of my money, or that I found useless, or were downright dangerous.
