Thread Starter  Every time I go to a baby shower, this issue
hits me again. I remember when I had babies and there was this
huge list of stuff people treated as necessities which
absolutely where not. Which is not to say that some parents in
some particular circumstances could find them useful, or even
necessary for them, but for things like (my personal pet peeve)
a pack-n-play to be treated like a necessity for everyone as
soon as she finds out she's pregnant drives me crazy! It's just
a huge marketing tool. And everyone I know would never dream of
using about anything used, like to have a used pack-n-play is
neglectful or something.  I guess this is a rant on marketing
and pregnant women/new parents, but what is on your list of
stuff that people seem to think is necessary but really isn't at
all? And is there any "must-have" stuff
