Now the things I wish I’d never wasted my cash on:
Slings of any description-I even bought this fancy sling and Eve wasn’t impressed. Plus it never felt like she was very secure in it.
Baby thermometers that go under the arm-have you ever tried to get an ill baby to sit still with a cold metal stick in her armpit?
Her moses basket-granted this was a gift but I’d say she spent 20 minutes tops sleeping in it. Eve wouldn’t sleep in anything other than her carseat for the first 4/5 months.
This book-if you can get your newborn baby to sleep and wake according to anything resembling a routine I salute you!

Love the look of the site, its cool and your child’s picture looks stunning at the top.
Just regarding your post and baby items which are a waste of money and those that are good, one thing you should waste/invest your money on is a lullaby lightshow, (though I dont know if they still make them but someone does).
They play music, usually Brahms, and have a little lightshow. I was able to put my daughter to bed and she would fall asleep to this without having to sit over her. Leaving me free to do all the other things you need to do for a baby when you have a moment.
Anyway will be popping back again… And thanks for the link, sometimes you find really cool sites when they have linked to you, which is how I found gingerpixel, us redheads have to stick together…
Thanks redmum, I’ll be on the lookout for one. Eve’s learning to get to sleep by herself without me rocking her and any help would be great. My back is broken from leaning over the cot holding her hand. Cute and all but not comfortable!
