Baby Bath and Changing Table BB020 2
Where did you get your baby furniture?

I've been browsing various websites for baby furniture (not pregnant yet but hopefully soon). The reviews on some of the produtcs are helpful, but limited.

Where did you buy your furniture (crib, changing table, accessories, etc)? were there things you wish you had done differently, or wish you had known ahead of time? Things you shouldn't have wasted money on? Absolute nursery essentials?

I hate to spend too much on a furniture they'll quickly outgrow, but obviously want good quality pieces.

Thanks!

We had our crib and changing table given to us by my mom. We use the changing table for a dresser since it's easier for me to just change him on the floor. I'm kinda short and it's just awkward for me. We bought the bouncy seat, swing, and everything else at either Wal-Mart or Target. I wish we wouldn't have wasted the money on a Diaper Genie. They are worthless and stink. I wish we would've gotten a swing that can be plugged into the wall. The battery powered one we have drains batteries so often and really doesn't swing well. Make sure you have lots of crib sheets. We were glad we bought lots of socks and bibs. Buy a little mesh bag to keep all the little stuff in (like socks) so you don't lose them to the Washer God. The bassinett was pretty much not used at all and now has toys in it til we put it in storage. You can get good stuff out of the newspaper too.
