I disagree with a few things on the list. My baby was a newborn in winter, when it gets pretty dry due to the heat being on constantly. It was bad for her breathing and her skin. Her doctor suggested getting a humidifier and it did make a difference.

My umbrella stroller came with a sunshade and I LOVE it. Baby can see out without risking a sunburn.

I have never heard that jumpers are dangerous. Walkers are illegal in Canada because they're dangerous, but jumpers are OK. Ours was free but she only used it a dozen times or so.

I agree on most of the other stuff, but not everybody has a dishwasher so the bottle sterilizer might be important for some.

I used them briefly but don't think they work well. As soon as they hit the air, they start cooling off. They're really not that warm.

Personally, I used warm wash clothes for the first year, so that was very effective. My husband would put warm water in a tupperware bowl with two washclothes and bring them to us. Now that is warm and friendly!

Please don't pick on my wet wipe warmers!!!! They are a gift from above. Obviously the dad who poo poo'd them was not the one getting up in the middle of the night changing poopy diapers. See how fast YOU can go back to sleep when someone slaps a cold wet rag on your privates. I say let him take the night shift for one week and he'll be buying stock in the wet wipe warmer. Here's a tip I learned years ago when changing diapers on the fly, throw the travel case of wipes in the microwave for about 5 seconds. It takes the chill off just like your handy dandy warmer does.

There are a lot of things you could do without, but that aee really nice to have. My mom never had sippy cups and drop-in bottle liners, but I have them and she thinks they are the bees knees. Personally, I think this subject is just another one that parents use to judge each other. If we have enough money to buy a changing table, why should anyone else care?
