12 Baby products no mom will ever need

Save yourself the cabinet space with this one! Make your life easier and use your food processor, blender or immersion blender to make your very own baby food.

These little cone-shaped swathes of fabric are just ridiculous. I don’t see how that little tiny contraption is going to stand up to the powerful streams of baby pee I've experienced. If you really want to avoid the mess, throw a cloth diaper or absorbent wash cloth over the baby. Honestly, if you get a little sprayed on, it's not the end of the world!

I get it, as moms we want to prevent our child from getting hurt, but the truth is that baby knees are resilient. It's best to go old school with this and just let your baby grow tough skin. It will be okay!

Think twice before buying or registering for these bumper pads. They may seem like an added safety precaution, but they can be a breathing hazard for your newborn.

Since when did shopping carts become that unsanitary? An antibacterial wipe down will be enough to protect your baby from germs. Carrying around with this thing is just bulky and unnecessary.

Breast milk is nowhere near as warm as what you get when you use a bottle warmer. In fact, breastmilk is more like room temperature. Plus, babies get used to whatever you introduce from the beginning. There’s absolutely no need to spend $40 or more on a fancy warmer when a cup and hot water achieve the same if not better results.

I have never understood the point of a diaper pail. Other than supposedly containing the odor, they don’t do much more than a regular garbage can–and at more than $30 a pop plus the cost of refill bags, using one will more than double the cost of just using your existing kitchen can and bags. Plus, these days, most manufacturers make kitchen garbage bags with odor fighters built in anyway.

This type of detergent claims to be gently formulated especially for baby, but in reality it’s full of the same chemicals and fragrance as any other soap. The concept may have worked a couple of decades ago when dye and perfurme detergents weren’t readily available, but now, you can purchase a gentler version of your favorite detergent at almost no extra costs.

I’ve gotta be honest, I don’t feel bad at all wiping my son’s tush with cool wipes. And you know what? He has never once complained. Plus, these things take up extra space and most of them have to be plugged in–seems like much more of a hassle than a help.

Changing tables are usually part of the baby room set, but you can totally skip on adding this item to your registry. As long as you have a short drawer, you can strap your changing pad on there. The bed and the floor are also good options as long as you have a changing sheet underneath.

Seriously, where is your baby walking to? Baby shoes are super cute, but they go missing all of the time! Jumpsuits with footsies work best.

A blanket works just as well as a burping cloth. Sure, they come in adorable prints, but don't get suckered into buying these!
