There are umpteen baby products in the market promising to make life of new parents easy. They all claim to be essential to assure careful parenting. Most often than not they just prove to be a total waste of money. No wonder old grannies love criticizing these new time saving and comfort providing items all the time. Believe it or not, the old school way of raising kids worked quite well. You yourself are a proof. Isn’t it? However, making use of the facilities that we are blessed with today, is not entirely stupid. All one needs is the ability to distinguish between the needful and the empty desires.
Making the most of the experience of new-age parents, who’ve tried and tested a wide range of baby items, we’ve compiled a list based on the utility of such baby item. Read through-
1. Must Buy-
- Nursing Pillow:
Takes care of the delicate neck of your baby as well as provides comfort to the nursing mother. Even when you are not feeding the baby, resting her comfortably on your lap with the pillow support can save you from constantly supporting her with wrapped arms.

- Baby Carrier:
You’ll have to carry your baby a long time. It can get physically taxing. Carrying him in a comfortable baby carrier can at least give you free arms to carry out other work than only ‘carrying’ the baby.
- Diaper Bag:
Stepping outside your house with a little baby is impossible without carrying a load of baby essentials that might be needed any moment. Diapers, wipes, extra clothing, baby feed, etc. Thus having a diaper bag that is spacious enough to hold all these is a must have.

2. Could Buy-
- High Chair:
It is one item which is not necessarily too important, but is not entirely useless too. Once your baby is big enough to sit on his own, it would be a nice idea to buy him a high chair to sit on and have family meals. It is safe and hassle-free to sit the baby on these specially designed chairs with safety bands.
- Bottle warmer:
You anyways have to buy a sterlizer, so buy a bottle warmer instead. Though it is not a need but a subtle luxury. However, it is hassle free and not totally useless to spend some money on.

- Baby Stroller:
Parents often find a baby carrier more useful than a stroller, because many a times the baby doesn’t let go off the adult’s touch and needs to be held. But a stroller is a convenient item to have in your kitty because it is tiring to bear the weight of the baby all the time. If he’s calm or sleeping, placing him in a stroller would make life of the mom or dad much easier.
3. Definetely Skip-
- Wipe Warmer:
First, baby wipes, itself are a could-be-skipped luxury (normal cotton cloth isn’t bad at all). Second, buying wipe warmers is definitely a should-be-skipped highly waste indulgence. You are not living in Antarctica that the wipes would be ice-cold, also these are seen to simply dry off the wipes in seconds.

- Special detergent:
A good quality detergent which is free of any perfume is good enough. The special detergents that come with the tag of “baby special detergent” are no different from the usual ones except for the sky-rocketing prices.
- Baby Food Processor:
It is only to lure the misinformed blinded parents. The normal food processor will serve the purpose just perfectly.
- Bath Thermometer:
This is just another fancy object you don’t really need to spend money on. Sure checking the temperature of water before baby bath is crucial, but your fingers are sensitive enough to get that job done.
- Changing Table:
This will just take up unnecessary space in the room. Plus there will be so many times you’ll have to change the diapers in the day. That a portable mat would be a better option than each time carrying your baby to the changing table.
