The "Needs" and "Never Used"

To all of you soon-to-be moms...
I was cleaning my baby girls room the other day, and i started thinking about all the things i got when i was pregnant that were a HUGE waste of money! Also the things i got that are LIFESAVERS!! So i thought i would help out the pregnant women out there and give them a heads up. Obviously this is all just my opinion, but i made some lists for fun.

Do Not Need:
-Expensive "pretty" diapers and wipes (just buy bulk and cheap, they are for the most part all the same, and they hold poop, they dont need to be pretty)
-Bouncers (we used ours but for such a short amount of time. they are so expensive, just buy the next stage up and get a walker)
-Baby Carrier (Its an awesome idea, it just takes so much time and wrestling to get your baby in the carrier, you wont have enought time or energy to use it)
-Wipes and Bottle warmers (will NEVER use!)


Needs:
-Boppy Pillow (A FOR SURE buy. Especially for breastfeeding moms! It saves you a lot of strain and back pain, Worth every penny!)
-Lanolin Cream (again for breastfeeding moms, will save you from a ton of pain!)
-Light and Music player for side of crib (she is totally entertained by it! and puts her to sleep, love it!)
-Baby Swing (YES!! for the first few months my baby slept in it all night! it would rock her and keep her asleep, and gave me some free time to clean and rest. must have!)
-Books! Books! Books! (she LOVES reading books and looking at all the pictures! especially the touch and feel books)


Anyways, these are just a few, i will add more as i think of them!
Any of you have some Needs and Dont Needs??
