8 Bizarre Baby Products No Sane Mom Would Buy

baby shoes When it was time to register for my baby shower, my husband and I were completely overwhelmed. There is just so much stuff out there for babies. Which wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for all the useless, crude, and just plain bizarre stuff out there.

The creepy and inappropriate onesies they expect parents to put on their kids are bad enough. The clothing that's more expensive than anything I would even put on myself is easy enough to ignore. But I'm talking the flat out weird products that make you wonder: do these people actually have kids?

The giant hands are usually marketed to those with preemie babies. My 28 weeker was in the hospital for 2 months and the nurses were always rolling up blankets and laying them on my child so she would stay calm and gain weight. We did the same after we brought her home. Those hands would have made it much easier. I know it sounds funny, but it worked.

Heels are cute! Obviously the person who wrote this has no sense of fashion.

I have to admit I bought the Pee Pee Tee Pees...I had a terrible fear of being peed on. I thought they would work, but my son just kicked them off. I LOVE the barefoot sandals though! I think they're super cute.

People keep bringing up the wipe warmer. Ya know, those wipes can get chilly. Have you ever wiped your butt with a cold, wet wipe?! Geez. Wipe warmers are great!

Rhe sandles are way too cute. Do some research. The hands are to comfort a small one. Because Mom handles them the baby thinks they are the Moms'. they were invented by a mom with a preemie. blank stare

i had a whizz kid to cover my son up when i changed him. if he had a particularly messy diaper it prevented him from peeing all over me or the room. it actually came in quite handy and saved me alot of laundry. the hands i think are a great idea actually. the rest is whatever. except the soaps, those are creepy
