Moms love to give advice. From the best baby bottles to the perfect stroller, ask any mama who's BTDT, and she's sure to offer up an opinion. When an expectant woman is building her baby registry, she'll get input from every mom she encounters on the street. While she'll likely fill the list with swings, blankets, and toys, there are some items experienced moms seem to forget to mention. Here are 5 items moms-to-be might not find in baby emporium, but may want to pick up before the lil one arrives!

OnSugar Blog: The One Thing You Don't Need

OnSugar Blog — Tue, 17 May 2011 03:16:43 PDT

Lots of moms like to think out loud, and PatiBF is one of them. This is the latest post to her Baby Style blog.

I remember seeing a wipes warmer at Buy Buy Baby when I was pregnant and thinking "Do I need that too? The wipes must feel really cold!" Well thank goodness I didn't fall for it because obviously Sandra never seemed to mind if the wipes weren't perfectly tepid. She probably would've minded, however, if I was using the warmer all along and then one day ran out of batteries or the thing broke. So the lesson here is, there aren't too many gadgets you "need" at all! Check out the other items I'm glad I didn't buy.

Bethenny Frankel Borrows Bryn's Wipes For Makeup Removal

babysugar — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:00:59 PDT

Bethenny Frankel's beauty routine now includes an item off her daughter Bryn's changing table. At an event yesterday, the reality star said:

I am loving using Bryn's baby wipes. They are at the top of my list of mommy must-haves. Baby wipes are great for everything! For wiping baby's butts, as an eye makeup remover, to wipe the counter, to clean my hands at the airport – just everything. You know how when you're washing your face, you get makeup all over your white towels, then you can't get it off? That makes me crazy. So now, I use baby wipes.

Do you borrow your baby's products for beauty benefits?

Mamaroo Modern Bouncer Keeps Baby in Motion

babysugar — Tue, 25 May 2010 11:00:53 PDT

It seems that every so often designers set their sights on a certain baby product and see how far they can push it into the future. The Mamaroo Bouncer ($200) is a tricked out baby seat that uses micro-robotics to move in five distinct motions – kangaroo, car ride, tree swing, ocean wave, and rock-a-bye – all created to simulate ways moms calm their tots. With five built-in nature sounds, as well as an MP3 player hookup, five distinct speeds and an LCD display screen, it looks (and acts) more like something out of the Jetsons than a product you'll find at your local baby emporium. Does the Mamaroo have you loosening your purse strings?
