8 Bizarre Baby Products No Sane Mom Would Buy

baby shoesWhen 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?

And if they do, what kind of childhood must these kids be having? Everything from wigs for kids to baby perfume is out there. Just check out some of these wacky offerings for the little ones.

What is the weirdest thing you've seen marketed for babies?

    The hand pillows are great for micro preemies that have to stay in an incubator. Just saying. I had a friend who had a micro preemie and she swears by the hand pillow. Said it made him more comfy and less fussy since she could not hold him At the time.

    I actually thought about buying the heels for a gift. I thought they were really cute.

    I was so desperate for sleep with my first (who only slept when held), that I truly considered the hand pillows. Never did buy them. He slept through the night at nine months. Now my twins still aren't sleeping at over two years . . . maybe I should buy them for the twins.
