Reply #12: I had like 5 bottles, a brush, and some dish soap [View All]

I never used any sort of sterilizing anything. Kids need to be exposed to germs. Their bums got wiped with room temperature wipes.

I will cop to having the sun shade though and yes, in Ruby's case anyway it was a necessity. She would wail like a banshee if we were riding around and the sun was in her face.

Are these first-time moms? That might have something to do with it...the newness, the gadgets, laboring under the false impression they *need* all this crap. After they realize most of this stuff is far more burdensome to deal with than just doin' it ol' school, the next kid they have will get stuff from the dollar store. :D
