Useless Baby Products

There are so many baby products out there on store shelves that many new parents think that they must have them all in order to be good parents and/or to make their lives and their baby's life easier. Unfortunately, many find out, after spending too much money, that many of these so-called "helpful" baby products are downright useless and a waste of their hard earned money. Here are a few useless baby products that many of my fellow mothers have decided are completely pointless and a waste of money.

Small Baby Bibs- Why is there such a thing as a small baby bib? Did the creator of these tiny things actually know what bobs are suppose to be used for? A bib is suppose to be big enough to protect the baby's clothing from food, drinks, drool and whatever else comes their way. Those small baby bibs do none of those. They are too small to cover anything except maybe a few buttons on a button-up shirt. If you need bibs then go for the ones that are huge and cover from shoulders to belly button. THOSE actually do their job.

The Diaper Genie- The Diaper Genie is one of those products that were all the rage when it first appeared on the market. Everyone thought it was a miracle baby product that every household would love. Unfortunately, many mothers soon realized that they did not love it as much as they thought they would. The mothers I spoke with said that the Diaper Genie was bad about allowing odor to escape, was difficult to handle and even more difficult to clean out after you have a long string of wrapped dirty diapers to take out of it. All in all, the majority of the mothers who had used the Diaper Genie felt that it was a useless baby product that was a waste of money. It's much easier to just wrap a dirty diaper in a plastic grocery bag and throw it in your outside trash can.
