Question for all parents

We got our daughter a Bumbo before we got her a high chair. It's kinda like a low chair


But technically you don't NEED a high chair or Bumbo. You can feed your baby while they move & roll around but it'd get messy & probably take longer each time. You don't need tummy time pads, you don't need a baby bath if you have a large enough kitchen sink, don't need a bouncer but they are super convenient. Putting my daughter to sleep & simply taking care of her in the early stages would've been harder without it. You don't need a walker (although that's toddler stage, not baby stage), don't need a bassinet but you will need a crib once they start rolling, don't need sleep sacks (I got my daughter this cute teddy bear swaddler but even that's not necessary lol)

There's a loooong list of things you don't need. So many products these days are just for convenience & they aren't gonna be needed for very long anyway before the baby grows past it. We got plenty of things we don't "need" but it's really just for convenience. Some are worth it, some aren't. It'd be a lot simpler to list the things you DO need
