\ Don't Waste Your Time or Money on These 10 Baby Care Items There's a lot of great use for lists out there but do you ever find yourself with tons of unfinished lists? When I was expecting my boys, I used tons of lists: to-do lists, to buy lists, what needs to be organized lists, planning lists, and so many more. I kept them all in my pregnancy journal and I promise you, there isn't a single finished list in there. My To Buy list for each baby was the worst when baby was born. A lot of the missing items weren't purchased until we needed them or I learned that I didn't need them after all. That's what I'm here to help you with today. I'm going to show you the top 10 things you don't actually need to buy for your little one. 1. Shoes Baby doesn't even need them until they are walking.
