Weird Baby Essentials

What is happening in the baby community? There are some ODD products out there, my friends! This is my 4th pregnancy, but my youngest is 6 and oh my, things have changed. I recently posted on my IG stories some strange baby products and asked other moms if they were as ridiculous as I thought, or if there were actual baby must-haves. The results were surprising.

 I have liked the products below so you can try your luck.

Stroller Rain Cover:  https://amzn.to/3xfJr7P

Okay, I can see this if you live the city life, and walk to get around. You get a pass there. Are people folding this up and adding it to the 500 things already in the diaper bag, just in case? As a general rule of thumb, if it’s raining, I don’t like to go for walks so I am assuming my incoming baby will not either. This seems odd to me.

Bottles shaped like boobs: https://amzn.to/3jF7b13

We are getting so creative with our bottles. There are SO MANY shaped like a boob. I guess I can see how that could work well for breastfeeding babies, but I think they might know it’s not the real thing. Plus, never using a cup holder for a bottle seems annoying.

Baby antiroll support: https://amzn.to/3wgvzsr

This looks like a baby straight jacket. Is it not safe for babies to roll over as they desire? Who am I to say, but this device looks like an accident waiting to happen.  I’m not sure how I found it on “must have baby items” but I am not seeing the value in pissing off your baby at nap time.

Frida Baby Windi: https://amzn.to/3ypoF5R

When I posted this on IG as a WTF item, I received a lot of feedback. This is, apparently, a must have. I personally have never needed to place anything in my infant’s anus to make them pass gas/poop; but lots of people have had the need to. Who would have thought? I guess it’s better to be prepared than to be sorry.

Frida Baby Nose Frida: https://amzn.to/3qIsQHf

This, to me, is just gross. I don’t like snot; it makes me gag so the thought of sucking into the direction of my mouth makes me want to barf all over. What if something goes wrong? I’m sure it works much better than those little blue suckers but I might stick with the classics. The traditional nasal aspirator hides all that gunk for all of time.
